Chapter 82 Post-disaster reconstruction work

After organizing the daily life of these surviving people, Lu Yiming returned to his residential area. Along the way, he saw two men fighting each other because they accidentally knocked over the instant noodles when one person passed by.

Because of such a small thing, it may have been unimaginable before. But now it is happening every moment.

Walking into community 56, I stretched my body. All kinds of trivial things were so tired that I felt very tired during the day. Lu Yiming urgently needed to relax.

Otherwise, if this continues, people may suffer from depression.

"mom!"

"Come back? Have a meal!"

His mother was listening to the radio on the community playground, and the number of rescuers was broadcasting today: "Welcome to listen to the news broadcast at 7:00 pm. The total number of survivors who received rescue today was 678, including 328 men and 350 women..."

When hearing that someone is rescued, this group of people who listen to the radio always seems very happy, as if humans really have hope.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but feel a little funny. Human beings are really a combination of angels and devils.

In fact, today's rescue numbers are much less than last week or last week. In the previous few weeks, when the flood just broke out, thousands of people were able to save every day.

But in recent days, as the flood continues to expand, the number of rescuers has become less and less, which means that the number of survivors outside is decreasing sharply.

Of course, no matter how many trees these survivors are, as long as someone can be rescued, they can satisfy the sympathy of ordinary people.

Lu Yiming's mother is one of the most common people. She is not a person with noble character, but just an ordinary citizen.

Her way of thinking is also quite simple: since she has obtained the opportunity to survive, she naturally hopes that more people can be rescued. This is a very simple mutual assistance idea.

"Here I'm back!"

"Come back?"

These distant relatives all lived in the same community. After seeing Lu Yiming, they greeted each other in friendly terms.

They all boarded the boat through boat tickets, and their living conditions were better than those of ordinary residents. Naturally, they were grateful to Lu Yiming and could not be grateful.

"Uncle Xiao, Uncle Third... Hello!" Lu Yiming nodded with a smile, as if he had a greeting.

These relatives have been in the shelter for so long, so naturally they are not as confused as they were at the beginning. From the shock, gratitude, to the loss and even despair at the end, they have experienced all kinds of emotions.

But whether you accept it or not, the fact has become like this...

Many people began to become taciturn, even absent-minded, and after calling for a long time without responding, they completely lost their motivation to work. This common mental state continued until the refuge announced the rescue of more survivors, and everyone cheered up.

But it is normal to think about it carefully. Humans are social animals, and everyone has their own social circles. Even these social circles can be said to be an important part of "self-existence". The social circles of otaku are games, animations, and novels; some elderly people's social circles are square dances and mahjong; the social circles of normal white-collar workers are colleagues, friends, etc.

When these circles suddenly disappear and can never be found again, no matter who it is, you will feel the deep loneliness and anxiety.

Fortunately, as time goes by, this difficult time has slowly passed, and living is the biggest truth. Everyone always accepts reality and tries to rebuild the entire civilization.

The existence of these distant relatives also increases the sense of security in their parents. In their opinion, blood relationship is the most stable, and it is actually good to have these relatives help each other.

When he got home, Lu Yiming picked up the rice on the table, slapped it a few times, and asked, "Where are my dads, where have you gone?"

"Your father and your little uncle went to repair the water pipe... The water pipe on the 12th floor suddenly leaked and was being repaired." My mother said while listening to the tape recorder: "They want to join the temporary maintenance team and be a worker, so that they will have no food to eat in the future."

"Anyway, I used to do this kind of physical work, and now I'm in good health. I want to continue to participate in the work."

"Oh, this is pretty good. He can go if he wants to." Lu Yiming said.

According to his current status, the maintenance team also knows him, so it is unlikely that he will arrange particularly heavy physical work for his father.

My mother said again: "Your sister-in-law and I want to find something to do, and we have nothing to do here... It's okay to be a cleaner or a chaotic worker, it's just a little help."

Border workers refer to the use of sewing machines to process fabrics into clothing, a primary handicraft industry.

"As for Ye Qingqing... let's continue to go to school. Community schools have been established and temporary teachers have been available. Children can continue to go to school, and maybe they can take the college entrance exam in the future."

Lu Yiming sighed. The term university...is too far away.

In fact, there is no real university inside the shelter.

Lu Yiming did not object to his parents' choice: "If you are really idle, then go and help, find some new friends, and start a new life."

There is a job that is really good. Even if the current job is basically voluntary labor, at most, eating a box lunch will not have more economic benefits, because the money system in the past has long been scrapped, but the new economic system has not been established.

But whether you have a job or not, your mental state will be completely different.

Doing nothing at home and news is closed, you will inevitably think randomly and fall into a pessimistic state. On the contrary, after joining work, you can expand your circle and make new friends, and your psychological state will be better.

So Lu Yiming did not stop his parents' decision. He raised his head and said, "But you are not young anymore. Let's talk to the team leader and try to work on day shifts. It's too hard to work on night shifts. There is no need for this."

"If you restart civilization, young people still have to come."

Yes, rebuilding civilization has become the top priority at present!

Including the education system, basic social welfare, economic system, monetary system, medical system, etc., these old social orders must be rebuilt. Only in this way can we provide everyone with a true sense of security and return to normal life.

However, post-disaster reconstruction work is not that easy.

The first point is the safety of refuges.

This is the first time I use a shelter, and there are no major problems. There will always be some minor mistakes, such as water pipes breaking, water leakage, or some air conditioning and dehumidifier in some places. These problems, big and small, happen almost every hour, bringing trouble to life.

In addition, the rainstorm is getting heavier and heavy, and people have to patrol 24 hours a day. If a certain material warehouse accidentally enters the water, something big will happen, so the patrol team's personnel are constantly expanding.

The second is the public security environment. The current public security environment is too poor. People don’t trust each other, there are too many people who thieves or fight. There are only a few people like Lu Yiming who have many relatives, and most of them have no connections.

There are many angels and devils in the shelter, and the mutual conversion is only in one thought. A person is very sympathetic, but it does not prevent him from stealing things.
