In the cadre dormitory, the chat between the two brothers continued.

Hearing that his eldest brother mentioned Tana's birthday, Zhou Yang immediately asked: "Brother, when is my sister-in-law's birthday?"

"December 1st!"

Zhou Yang couldn't help but feel nervous. Today is November 25th, which means there are only 6 days left before the disaster occurs.

In other words, you must find a way to deal with it in the only time left.

"Brother, you plan to confess your love to your sister-in-law on her birthday, are you prepared?" Zhou Yang said.

"No, but I plan to go to Qili in two days to buy some gifts for her!" said the eldest brother.

"What gift?"

"I see that the robe she is wearing has been worn for several years. It's time to get a new one. I heard that there is a place in the flag specifically for making robes for the Mongolian people. I plan to buy her a new robe!"

The elder brother said.

"Mongolian robes are not cheap. Do you have enough money?" Zhou Yang said.

"That's enough. We are paid in the mine, 38 yuan a month. There is no place to spend money here. I have really saved a lot of money in the past few years!"

Then the eldest brother continued: "When you go back this time, I will get you a thousand yuan, you go back and give 500 to your parents, and the rest will be used as a wedding gift for you and your siblings!"

"No, my parents and I are not short of money. You should keep it for your sister-in-law. I think her expenses are quite big!" Zhou Yang said with a smile.

"It's okay. I have saved about two thousand yuan in the past few years, which is enough for us to spend our lives!"

Then the eldest brother did not forget to explain: "Your sister-in-law is usually very frugal, but this time it was just because you were here, so she spent a little more. She is not like this usually!"

"We'll talk about this later, but I think since you have decided to live a good life with your sister-in-law, you have to plan for the future!" Zhou Yang said.

"future?"

"Well, this place is bitterly cold after all. You can't stay here forever, right?"

Then Zhou Yang continued: "Besides, you are a top student at Beijing University, do you want to lead an animal for the rest of your life?"

"Well, why don't I want to leave here and find a position where I can use my talents, but the situation is like this, what can I do?"

The eldest brother sighed and said with a melancholy and helpless look on his face.

"There is a way!"

"What can I do?"

"Brother, this year I took on a lot of translation tasks from the Translation and Translation Bureau. A large part of them is to translate foreign university textbooks, including physics, chemistry, and architecture. Do you know what this means?"

Zhou Ping is also a smart man. He figured out the key points after thinking carefully.

"Are you saying that the higher-ups intend to reinstate higher education?"

"Well, as expected, the college entrance examination should be resumed!"

"real?"

"Well, based on your current situation, whether you directly retake the college entrance examination or apply for restoration of your student status, the possibility is very high!" Zhou Yang said.

The eldest brother said excitedly: "If this is the case, then we should really plan ahead!"

"By the way, Xiao Yang, what are you going to do?"

Zhou Yang thought for a moment and said, "I plan to take the college entrance examination with Youwei and then return to the capital!"

"Back to the capital?"

"Yes, our home is in the capital, and our relatives, friends, and enemies are also here. We were kicked out in despair back then, and we will have to go back in glory!" Zhou Yang said.

"Okay, then we brothers have decided that if we have a chance, we will go back together in glory!"

"good"

Just as he was talking, there was suddenly a clear knock on the door, and the two of them stopped chatting immediately.

Zhou Yang went over to open the door and found that Fan Debiao had returned in disgrace!

He originally wanted to give the two brothers a little more time, but the environment outside really made it impossible for him to stay for long.

Just staying outside for less than half an hour, I almost turned into a clay sculpture.

It didn’t matter that it was windy and dusty, but what was more important was the cold. The bone-chilling cold wind blew through, and even thick cotton clothes felt like they couldn’t keep warm.

In desperation, Fan Debiao had no choice but to return early!

After entering the door, Fan Debiao patted the dust on his body, and then sighed with emotion about the climate here.

The Zhou brothers immediately responded with a few words, and their chat turned into a chat among three people.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Ping left.

It's not because of work, after all, Tana's sister is coming over in the afternoon, so he has to clean up his personal hygiene and change into clean clothes!

Otherwise, how would you see anyone in this dirty work clothes?

After Zhou Ping left, Zhou Yang and Fan Debiao chatted for a few more words, then lay down on the bed and took a lunch break.

The time difference here in Eqi is quite different from that in Yunshan County. The days here are longer and the nights are shorter. It is impossible not to take a lunch break.

Although he was lying on the bed, Zhou Yang did not sleep, but kept thinking about what to do next.

Zhou Yang was also thinking about rescuing people along the way!

There are two options before him now:

The first option is to just clean up the trouble on your own, save your brother and sister-in-law, and leave the others to their fate and let fate take their own course.

This is relatively simple. You only need to transfer your brother and sister-in-law away from the mine on the day of the disaster, or even just transfer the eldest brother to the top of the mine.

Moreover, there are no large buildings in Tuoshan Coal Mine. Even if all the houses collapse, it will be difficult for him to crush people to death.

As long as the brother is fine, the sister-in-law will not take the risk of going down the well, and the tragedy can be avoided.

The most important thing is that it only saves two people, so the operation is relatively simple.

For example, I took my eldest brother and sister-in-law to the city to buy wedding items that day. The reason was very good and no one would have any objections.

Or, even worse, I might as well go home that day. As brother and sister-in-law, they have to say goodbye.

All in all, Zhou Yang had countless ways to keep them away from danger.

As for the second option, that is to save not only the eldest brother and sister-in-law, but also everyone else in the mine.

But compared to the above choices, this matter is not particularly difficult.

This is a medium-sized coal mine. It is responsible for the supply of coal to Eqi and nearby Jiuquan, Azuo Banner and other places. The production task is very tight.

If you want to save these people, you must keep all these coal miners on the ground when the disaster occurs.

After all, the magnitude of the earthquake was not high, not even magnitude 6, and it caused minimal damage to the building facilities on the ground.

The tragedy at Tuoshan Coal Mine happened because, on the one hand, it was a natural disaster, but on the other hand, it was also a man-made disaster.

Due to the restriction of conditions, the safety facilities under the mine are seriously aging and do not meet the technical standards at all, which leads to the disaster.

It can be said that the earthquake is just an introduction, and what is really fatal is the safety loopholes in the coal mine itself.

Even if there is no earthquake, it is difficult to avoid an accident. It is just a matter of time.

If we can get all the miners to the ground before an earthquake occurs, once the earthquake occurs, the safety hazards underneath the mine will be completely exposed.

In this way, not only can these miners be saved, but the safety hazards in the mines will also be taken seriously by the higher authorities, killing two birds with one stone!

But it is easy to say but difficult to do.

My elder brother said that the disaster happened in the morning, which was the busiest time of the day. Most of the miners were underground, so there were so many casualties.

If there is no suitable reason, how can we get these workers to return to the ground during production time?
