In Dong'an District of Xicheng, the prototype of a survivor base has now been built.

Dong'an District is the most remote area of ​​Xicheng, with relatively slow economic development and a small population. Many villages retain their appearance more than 20 years ago. In recent years, in response to the national support development policy, the market of Dong'an Flower City has begun to operate.

Before, there were flower fields everywhere.

The army is stationed in Yeshan.

The survivor base radiated outward from Yeshan. At first, the survivors rescued by the army lived on the high floors of the town. Later, as the number of people increased, they were dispersed to the county seat until the ice disaster was over.

The ground-floor buildings that had been flooded and covered with ice were exposed again. The survivors left Yeshan to return home. Survivors from outside gradually poured in and occupied the ownerless houses. Everyone tried to stay as close to Yeshan as possible. With the military guard, at least

They can sleep well at night, and when traveling during the day, they don't have to worry about a pair of evil hands reaching out to rob or plunder.

Qiao Qingqing and her family arrived in Dong'an District, Xicheng in the early morning, and they could see lights in the distance in the direction of Yeshan.

"I thought I saw it wrong, but it turns out there really is a light," Shao's father said with emotion.

"Let's find a place to stay first, and then find a house to live in in the evening." Qiao Qingqing said.

She randomly found an empty room to spend the hot afternoon. At 5:30 in the afternoon, Qiao Qingqing got up on time and woke her family up for dinner. While in the wild, Qiao Qingqing took out a motorcycle tricycle again and piled a lot of food on it.

The daily necessities were wrapped in green canvas. This was the family's apparent possessions.

The roadside was uneven and hot. During the short five-kilometer drive from the wild to the city, the tires were burned like melted chocolate.

The car was driven by Shao's father. He checked the tires and said that it could still be driven. He just had to drive slower.

Qiao Qingqing said, "Let's go to Yeshan and look for a village close to the army to stay. It will be safer that way."

In her previous life, Qiao Qingqing came too late. The high-rise buildings with good environment in Dong'an District had long been divided up. Even the buildings on the ground floor were very popular. They could at least provide shelter from wind and rain, and they could live in a makeshift place. She could only live with the same batch of people.

The survivors worked together to rebuild the house on the ruins after the fire. This time they arrived early, the base should not have been built yet, and they should be able to find a better place to live.

"Okay, then I'll drive slowly. If anything happens, just call me."

The family sets off again.

"There are a lot of people here. We rarely saw so many people walking on the road when we were in Huacheng." Shao's mother looked strange, but there was no doubt that she was very happy to see this scene, which means that there is a lot of people here.

Only when it is safe will everyone dare to go out and move around.

"Yes, there are so many people. Where are they going?" Qiao Songzhi asked.

The sun had just set, and the road underfoot was still hot to the feet, but more and more survivors were coming out of their homes, most of them on foot, and some people were riding bicycles without tires, and they were all heading in the same direction.

"They should all go to Yeshan, let me ask." Shao Sheng'an stopped a middle-aged man and asked politely.

"Yeshan will be distributing supplies today. You are so lucky to have just come from outside." The middle-aged man glanced at them with some envy in his eyes. "It seems that you are also rich, rich people." He continued walking.

.

"What is a rich person? I have no money." Shao Shengfei looked confused.

Qiao Songzhi looked at his healthy and dark face, then at Shao's mother and son-in-law, and finally at her daughter. She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that although their family was a little haggard from traveling for several days, their clothes and faces were deliberately dirty.

He was sloppy, but his body was there, and he was not as skinny and sallow as most of the people we see on the road today.

Qiao Qingqing said, "He probably said that our mental state is good, let's go, we will go to Yeshan too."

When it got dark, they arrived at the village at the foot of Yeshan Mountain.

The village is bustling with people, and there are more people living there. You don't need to ask, you know that this is where Yeshan will be distributing supplies.

"Let's first look for any vacant houses in the village." Shao Sheng'an asked Qiao Qingqing's opinion.

Qiao Qingqing said, "You have to find the village chief first. The village chief here should still be there."

They asked for directions, and it took three people to find out where the village chief's home was.

"Oh, you don't have to go to the village chief's house. When the soldiers from Yeshan come down to distribute the supplies, the village chief will come out to sign for them."

Qiao Qingqing didn't think so. She was eager to see the village chief and quickly settle the issue of accommodation.

This village will be one of the new communities that will serve as a base for survivors in the next few years. Before the end of the world, it would have been the urban area if it didn’t quickly seize its own nest. Qiao Qingqing would regret it to death.

When they found the village chief's house, Qiao Qingqing and the others happened to see a group of people squatting in front of the village chief's house, all of them looking ugly.

"What should we do? The village chief said that there are no vacant houses and he is not willing to arrange for us to live in other people's homes."

"Damn, what's so great about a rundown village in the middle of a mountain? If they don't let us live, we'll find a place to live by ourselves."

"Hey Brother Xun, there is an army here."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't say that we were going to rob a house. We can find someone else to take us in. If the village chief doesn't arrange it, we can find a way out on our own. Otherwise, we can build a house by ourselves. What are you afraid of leaving? Don't look at other people's colors here. What?

What are you dragging?"

"Brother Xun is right. I saw many outsiders like us building their own houses. We rely on ourselves."

They left cursing.

Shao's father parked the car and said worriedly, "It seems difficult to live here. What should I do?"

"It's okay, let's try it first."

The village chief and his family were having dinner, and it took a while before someone came to open the door.

The person who opened the door was the village chief. His face was ugly. He was about to curse as soon as he opened the door. But fortunately, he found that the people knocking on the door were not the rude people just now, so he swallowed the curse words.

Pretending not to see the ugly expression on the village chief's face, Qiao Qingqing smiled before saying anything, saying politely and enthusiastically, "Hello, hello, are you the village chief? I am Qiao Qingqing. My family and I just arrived here today. I heard that I want to settle down in the village.

We need your permission. We really want to settle down in the village, so I’m really sorry for taking the trouble to come here.”

Shao Sheng'an stuffed a pack of cigarettes at the side and said, "Hello, village chief, I am Shao Sheng'an, Qingqing's husband. Our family sincerely settles down in your place. You see, our family is here and we are all honest people."

Those of you who want to share it, please think about it carefully."

The mayor of Akiye Village was in a daze after being dealt with in such a complete way.

His first impression of the gentle-tempered Qiao Qingqing was quite good, and he thought it was quite nice to hear her speak. However, there were indeed no vacant houses in the village, but Shao Sheng'an handed over a pack of cigarettes.

A pack of cigarettes

Unopened hard-shell Chinese cigarettes with intact plastic packaging

Village Chief Ye's eyes suddenly straightened.

At this moment, the good words spoken by the couple doubled in his ears and became extremely beautiful.

The words of rejection he often said were choked in his throat, and Village Chief Ye made a decision in a flurry of thoughts: "Oh, you are welcome to Qiuye Village. If you are a visitor from afar, please come in and have a seat."

Qiao Qingqing and Shao Sheng'an looked at each other. A good start is half the success.

Father Shao waved his hand, "You guys go in, I'll take care of your luggage."

Village Chief Ye took them to sit in the living room. While they were talking, his children secretly looked at them outside the window.

Village Chief Ye didn't see them and asked enthusiastically where they came from.

Qiao Qingqing was prepared and took out her household registration book, ID card, and her and Shao Sheng'an's diplomas and degree certificates.

After checking the household registration, Village Chief Ye exclaimed, "Oh, you two are both from XX University. This is a famous university. Ten years ago, a good boy from our village passed the exam. At that time, the leaders of the town came to give scholarships."

I have a better impression of Qiao Qingqing's family.

The older ones all seem to be honest and responsible people, while the other one looks innocent and silly, and doesn't look like a bad person. The couple are top graduates from prestigious universities. Although there is a natural disaster now, life is different from before.

, but Village Chief Ye still respects people who like to read well.

If such a family wants to live in Qiuye Village, it will do no harm to Qiuye Village.

He thought for a while, "I sincerely welcome you to move in sincerely, but there are indeed no vacant houses in the village. Alas, look at my house, which has been flooded for several years. We came down from the mountain only after the ice melted and returned."

We live in the village, and the army lives on Yeshan Mountain. They asked us to go up the mountain to avoid the flood before, but now no one can live in it. We understand this. I heard that there are many secrets on the mountain, and it is not good to have too many people. We in Qiuye Village

It's right at the foot of the mountain. They must have gone back to live in their own homes. Among the people coming down the mountain, there are not only people from our own village, but also people from other places. At that time, the superiors asked me to make arrangements as much as possible, and I have made arrangements. I really don't have time at the moment.

The houses are all full. You should have seen them when you came here. They all found their own places to live. They set up sheds and tents wherever they wanted. I can’t control it. It’s hard for everyone. I don’t care either.

Everyone understands."

Qiao Qingqing said sincerely, "Uncle Ye, we also know your difficulties. After all, your village is a geomantic treasure, and everyone wants to live here. Our family came from Huacheng, and our home has been burned down. There is really no other place to go."

, I don’t have any other requirements now, I just want to have a family, so that I won’t be like a duckweed in the water, miserable and rootless. Qiuye Village is very popular. I really liked it when I saw it. My father-in-law and mother-in-law used to live there.

Those who have farmed in their hometowns all say that seeing Qiuye Village is as close to their hometown as seeing them. Uncle Ye, it doesn’t matter if you don’t have an empty house. See if you can give us a piece of land so that we can build our own house.

As long as we can get our household registration, our family won’t be picky even if we live in a pig shed.”

Shao Sheng'an also pleaded, "In the past, we would have been embarrassed to make such a request, but now is not a special period. Please consider it. We will definitely remember your kindness."

"Divide the land." Village Chief Ye frowned. "There's no need to divide the land. It's so hot now that we can't grow anything. You can use any open space you want. Many outsiders are building sheds in the fields, so you can go there too."

Over there."

This is not Qiao Qingqing's purpose.

If she occupies the land casually now, she will be evicted casually in the future. If she wants to live there, it will be justified.

Qiao Qingqing continued to plead, "How can I be embarrassed to do this? There is no explanation for directly occupying the village's land. How can it be justified that today we have occupied it, and tomorrow the land may be occupied by others. Aren't there going to be conflicts and fights? My family is all from this country."

As for dividing people, I am most afraid of fighting with others, so I should seriously buy a piece of land myself, so that no one will be afraid of trouble in the future."

Village Chief Ye thought it made sense when he heard it.
