Everyone helped the two of them brush off the snowflakes. Wang Xiaolan said worriedly, "This weather! I noticed the wind was quite strong today, but I didn't expect it to snow directly! This is going to be tough. I don't know if the neighbors' houses can withstand such heavy snow."
Ye Zhiqiu closed the door and heard Wang Xiaolan's words. He comforted her, "It's okay. Don't scare yourself. Mom, haven't you taken the masters to check it out? There will definitely be no problem."
Although this is comforting, every time there is extreme weather and a snowstorm, various situations will always arise. So Wang Xiaolan's worries are not unnecessary, but are caused by repeated experiences in the past.
Wang Fugui turned on the radio, which was broadcasting the weather forecast.
"According to experts, the cold snap will last for five days, with temperatures likely to drop to -25 degrees Celsius. Following leadership instructions, all people must immediately suspend work and school!
We call on all the people to unite and overcome this difficult time together! Nothing can defeat us Chinese, not even invaders, nor storms and rainstorms!
Here is a speech by the secretary of the steel plant, the content is as follows: Comrades of the steel plant, it is time to show our workers' strength!
We must demonstrate the spirit of not fearing hardship or death! We call on all steel plant workers to fight on the front lines. Wherever there is a need, there will be our steel plant workers!
Now I will insert the speech of the secretary of the First Textile Factory for you. The content is as follows..."
Because this sudden heavy snow was actually not that sudden, it just came much earlier.
Factory managers across the capital called in to speak out and were the first to fight on the front lines.
Ye Zhiqiu felt that although he could question them, he really couldn't doubt their determination. Because not long after, Secretary Liao Yegu's words also appeared!
Ye Zhiqiu sorted out his clothes in the room and said to Feng Xiaomei, "Xiaomei, you are my wife, the one I have chosen for life! So don't worry about anything. I will marry you and spend the rest of my life with you even if I die. You can rest here with peace of mind. When we come back, you may be asked to help take care of the house!"
Feng Xiaomei smiled, and in Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, her smile was really attractive!
"Don't worry about supporting me. I'll take care of things at home. Don't say any sweet words. I won't marry anyone else in this life..."
Wang Fugui, the old man, ran away secretly, probably going back to his workplace to help deal with some matters. We should not overestimate human nature. In the face of natural disasters, there are always some inhumane people who act recklessly.
Wang Xiaolan returned to the subdistrict office and went on patrol with her colleagues. She would lead people to rescue trapped people wherever there was a collapse.
Ye Tianya also went with them. He was worried about Wang Xiaolan. In principle, people participating in disaster relief can return to their work units and wait for instructions, or they can support local street offices on the spot.
Ye Tianya stayed behind, and Ye Zhiqiu couldn't stay here as well, so he braved the snowstorm and walked back to the brewery.
The further you go, the more people you see walking against the wind!
In this dark yet pale night, flashlights illuminate the entire capital city!
When Ye Zhiqiu returned to the brewery, the lights that were on suddenly went out.
"Has the electrician returned yet? If not, does anyone know what's going on?"
"Me! I know circuits, and I just graduated from technical secondary school this year!"
"Okay, comrade, come with me. There's a problem with the power line. We need to fix it and get the electricity back on. Otherwise, the residents living along the same power line will be left without any lighting."
Ye Zhiqiu did understand a little bit, but not much, so he chose to wait where he was.
Soon Chen Yimin's voice rang out.
"Thank you all for your enthusiastic participation in the rescue operation! Now, assemble your personnel in your respective areas! Everyone, be quiet! Department leaders, call the section-level cadres! Section-level cadres, call the workers! Everyone, be quiet, turn off your flashlights. Whoever shouts, turn on the flashlight!"
"I'm Wu Shengli! A member of the logistics department! Gather around me!"
Ye Zhiqiu saw the light of the flashlight and immediately knew the direction, so he squeezed over there.
In fact, in a snowstorm, everyone is covered in white, and many people may get sick from being caught in the snow.
But in the face of disaster, no one retreated, and everyone rushed back resolutely.
Some people may find it ridiculous, but think about our ancestors who fought in the Korean War. What did they think about it?
They are not fools, they just know that if they don't fight and resist, there will be no peaceful life in the future!
Is there anything in this world that would make people risk their lives for it?
It really exists!
It's an ideal, and also a hope! I vaguely remember reading a suicide note in which he said: "I hope everyone can have enough to eat, and not go hungry!" But they just won't let us have enough to eat. If we don't go hungry, they won't be at ease! In that case, let them go hungry too, so that my descendants and compatriots will no longer go hungry!
After Ye Zhiqiu shouted loudly to report back to the team, Wu Shengli made sure that all his cadres were present.
"Now, everyone, shout with me, let our comrades from the logistics department return to this side and line up!"
"Logistics department here! Come back to the team immediately!"
"Logistics department here! Come back to the team immediately!"
As Wu Shengli watched the increasing number of people gathered around the cadres of their respective departments, he discovered that many female colleagues had returned.
He said angrily, "Who told you to come back? Women, take good care of the elderly and children at home. That's the most important thing!"
"Wu Shengli, you bastard! We women can hold up half the sky, what are you talking about!"
"That's right, Director Wu, you're usually the director, but now you're nothing! Sisters, tell them that we women can hold up half the sky! He actually dared to look down on us. Now that this matter is over, we'll castrate this bastard..."
Ye Zhiqiu grinned, and not only him, but everyone around him heard it and couldn't help but laugh.
Wu Shengli begged for mercy: "Ladies, let's just talk about the facts. We don't mean to look down on you. It's just that we have to take care of our own family so that we can contribute to everyone else..."
No matter how passionate, enthusiastic, and lively this side is!
But throughout the capital, many houses, especially those in courtyard houses, are quite old! Houses collapsed by the snowstorm are really appearing one after another!
That's why such mobilization is necessary, because this snowstorm is so severe!
Ye Zhiqiu found the personnel of the transport team and began to put various anti-skid chains on the wheels according to their instructions.
The electricity was restored and the phone started ringing. Liao Yegu received the first call, which was from the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office calling for support because dozens of houses had collapsed.
Ye Zhiqiu began to arrange people to drive and transport workers to various places to participate in the rescue.
