After the sun rose, there were fewer people walking around outside. Qiao Qingqing heard a few whistles, which was the signal from Squad Leader Wu and others to announce that the deep well was locked.

Qiao Qingqing and the others also packed up and hid in the tent.

Today's life is naturally not as comfortable as at home. The place is small, there is no air conditioning, and you cannot take a shower. Even if you change clothes frequently and simply scrub every day, the sweat odor in the tent still ferments, and the smell is particularly bad.

"I thought there would be no shortage of water after we got the well." Shao's mother was wiping Shao Shengfei's face and neck.

"Then it's still so hot now, so we have to save some water." Qiao Songzhi turned around and saw Qiao Qingqing and his wife coming in, and asked, "Have you packed your things?"

"It's packed and in the small tent."

"Let me change the bamboo mats, wipe these two and put them outside to dry." Qiao Qingqing said, taking out two buckets of ice when taking out the new bamboo mats.

"I'll wipe it." Father Shao swept the bamboo out, wiped it, and put it on a bamboo pole to dry.

Shao's mother hurriedly told him, "Don't let it sit in the sun for too long, or it will get damaged."

"I'll take it in later, don't worry"

The sun fan whirred, bringing up the cool air in the ice bucket.

Shao's father shouted outside, "Qingqing, the village chief is here."

"I'll clean up the bamboo mats, you can go out." Shao Sheng'an said.

When I went out, I saw that it was indeed Village Chief Ye. He was talking to Shao's father with a smile, "I just drank the honeysuckle water given by your son. It's so polite."

Father Shao was not good at words and only smiled restrainedly. When he saw Qiao Qingqing coming out, he greeted her like a rescuer, "Qingqing, come to the village chief. My daughter-in-law boiled the honeysuckle water. My Qingqing is very capable."

Village Chief Ye smiled at Qiao Qingqing and said, "I'm looking for you, and I also want to ask if there is any honeysuckle water left. I want to buy some to take home for my children to drink. My granddaughter is only six years old."

"Yes, I'll pour it for you." Qiao Qingqing entered the tent and quickly took out a bottle.

"I've cooked a lot. The village chief can tell others that they can come and buy some if they want. Just exchange for firewood."

Village Chief Ye was very happy, "Okay, I'll ask Changtian to deliver the firewood later."

After a while, Ye Changtian indeed brought firewood, and then seven or eight villagers came one after another to buy honeysuckle water. They brought their own bowls and paid a small bundle of firewood for each bowl.

"No, let's cook it another day." Qiao Qingqing smiled and said to the villagers who came behind, "Because the deep well has just been opened, and I think the first water I just received is very meaningful. Our family comes from outside.

I’m very grateful for everyone’s care and acceptance of our family, so I thought of giving this first portion of water back to the villagers. Next time, we will wait until our family saves more water before selling it.”

Qiao Qingqing's business of selling honeysuckle water is doing well. She sells it every few days, and once the pot is sold out, it is gone. Because the remuneration is cheap, she has gained a good reputation among the villagers. Village Chief Ye is also proud of it.

He left such a family behind and brought convenience to the villagers. This was his achievement as the village chief. With this good impression in mind, after hearing the news that Ye Shan was about to recruit skilled workers, Village Chief Ye informed the villagers

Later, among the refugees, he only secretly told Qiao Qingqing and his family.

"If you want to go, you have to prepare in advance. We will recruit a lot of people this time."

Shao Sheng'an is very confident. He has worked hard to learn relevant skills in the past few years. As long as he is given a chance, he will definitely seize it.

Before the recruitment information was officially announced, the large army arrived on an ordinary night. Ye Changtian and his companions moved to another place to chop wood, and saw winding lights from a distance on the road.

Ye Changtian was a very brave man. He asked someone to notify Squad Leader Wu, and at the same time led others to find out who the person seemed to be. As a result, he was caught by vigilant soldiers as soon as he met him.

"You are the villagers nearby"

A haggard middle-aged man in military uniform came out, "My surname is Zhou. You can call me Battalion Commander Zhou. How far is it from Yeshan?"

Three hours later, Ye Changtian and his companions returned to the village and brought the news.

"Are there really many people here? How many people are there?"

"We can no longer live in our village. We should live in the next village."

“I can’t live in the village next door, so I have to live in the town.”

"I don't want to see too many people coming to our village anymore. It's a mess, and some of them are sick. I think it will be contagious."

"Didn't the village chief say not to get too close to those outsiders who are sick? Just don't get too close."

Ye Changtian shook his head, "I don't know how many people there are, but there are so many of them that the end of the team cannot be seen at all. They did not continue to move forward. After Ye Shan's military buddies came over, we came back. They should be discussing how to stay."

At the end of the alley, Yu Manshu turned and left. After returning home, she said to Lin Mingyong, "Brother and the others must be here. Mingyong, this is our opportunity. My brother must have been very busy when he came here. It is not good for my sister-in-law, nephew and the others to continue to have fun in the motorcade."

Those who are exposed to the sun, although the conditions here are not good, we have set up a camp anyway, so people can lie down and have a good rest. You can go with me and pick them up."

Lin Mingyong took a puff of cigarette and said, "Okay, I'll repair the car and it should be able to drive for a while."

Watching Lin Mingyong go to repair the car with a smile, Yu Manshu suddenly covered her chest, frowned and snorted.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lin Weini asked with concern.

"It's okay, maybe I'm a little bored." Yu Manshu inhaled and exhaled, and waited until the feeling of suffocation and heart palpitations subsided before she smiled. She said to her daughter, "Your uncle and the others are here. They will rebuild this place after it is bulldozed."

House, then you can have your room again."

Lin Weini pursed her lips and smiled, "I'm looking forward to it."

The next day, a car came up from Yeshan and offered to recruit a large number of workers.

"Electricians, welders, and bricklayers," the person in charge of recruitment stood on a chair and shouted loudly through a loudspeaker, "Those with relevant experience can come and sign up and pass the interview. They can be hired after passing the interview. I will post the salary and you can see for yourself."

Shao Sheng'an immediately went to register. The staff opened the laptop to enter and said, "Your name is already there. Have you filled in the form before? That's fine. Next."

The car left an hour later and I heard it was going to the next village to recruit people.

"Why are you so nervous?"

"Why are we recruiting so many people? Are we going to build a house on Yeshan?"

"I don't know, as long as you have work to do, don't worry about it."

The interview was in the evening of the next day. Shao Sheng'an and the others walked up the mountain and came back late at night.

Nowadays, most people have a reverse day and night. When Shao Sheng'an came home, the whole family was still awake. Shao's father was chopping firewood, Shao's mother was playing with toys with Shao Shengfei, and Qiao Qingqing and her mother were pounding medicinal materials.

"The interview went very well, I should be able to pass." Shao Shengan was in a good mood and told his family about the details of the interview, "I was asked to repair a TV, and it was not difficult to draw some wiring diagrams. I can do it."

"

"That's great." Shao's father was very happy. "I still feel nothing at home. I always feel uneasy when I don't have a job in other places. By the way, did you ask if Ye Shan can recruit other workers? I'm very strong, even bricklayers are looking for me."

It must be that if you want to build a house, you will need labor to move things. I am good at moving things. When I was in the factory, I often helped move things in the warehouse."

"I didn't have time to ask. I'll ask when I get the chance." Shao Sheng'an agreed, but in his heart he made up his mind not to let his parents and mother-in-law go out to work. Qingqing will be Dr. Qiao at home, and he can work outside.

.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't tell that her husband was coaxing her to change the subject with a smile and ask Shao Sheng'an if he was hungry.

I'm not hungry, but my feet are sore from walking back and forth. Shao Sheng'an said, "I'll be fine if I take a rest."

When he had a chance to be alone the next day, Shao Sheng'an told Qiao Qingqing, "I met Lin Mingyong."

Qiao Qingqing understood it after thinking about it, "I heard my mother say that he used to be a contractor and later founded a real estate company. Did he recognize you?"

Shao Shengan shook his head.

"That's good, don't tell mom about this and make her upset."

"I know, I didn't say that last night." Shao Sheng'an touched her hair, "Your hair has grown again, do you want to cut it?"

Qiao Qingqing touched it herself, "It's a bit too long. Please help me cut it. Just cut it to the collarbone so I can tie it into a ponytail."

"Okay, you wait while I get the things."

Shao Sheng'an moved a small stool for her to sit on, and put a plastic film on the floor. Qiao Qingqing also wrapped her upper body around it, "Let's start cutting, don't move."

In the past three years, Shao Sheng'an has been cutting her hair. In fact, Shao Sheng'an has been cutting her bangs since she was a boarding school student in high school. Her bangs grew so fast that they started to poke into her eyes before it was time to cut her hair.

, so she cut it herself. She was among the best in studies, but she could never learn to cut her bangs. If it was not cut crooked, she would cut it short. Every time her bangs were

It's like a dog gnawing. Shao Sheng'an was different. He cut his hair by himself. He didn't even use a mirror. He lowered his head and held a clipper and was able to cut his hair cleanly quickly. They had just been together at that time.

, Shao Sheng'an frowned when he looked at her bangs, and offered to fix them for her, which lasted for two years until Qiao Qingqing changed her hairstyle and stopped wearing bangs when she went to college.

Qiao Qingqing closed her eyes, listening to the clicking sound behind her, and her hair slipped from the plastic film.

She couldn't help but laugh, "I remember when you cut my bangs in high school."

Shao Sheng'an also laughed, "I was very handsome back then. I remember you blushed when I cut your bangs."

"You are the one who is blushing. You don't even dare to look at me."

"Yes, I'm blushing too, we are all blushing"

Qiao Songzhi came out of the toilet and heard her daughter and son-in-law talking childishly, and a smile appeared in her eyes. She shouted, "Come in quickly after cutting, the sun is getting stronger."

Shao Sheng'an hurriedly raised his voice and said, "Okay."

He untied the plastic film, shook off the hair on it, gathered up the plastic film on the ground, and dumped the hair into the trash can.

"I'll take care of the things. You go to the tent first."

Qiao Qingqing touched her neck and grabbed a few pieces of hair. She grabbed it a few more times and planned to wipe it with a towel later. After hearing this, she bent over and picked up the stool. "It's not heavy. I'm going into the house."

Two days later, Shao Sheng'an got the news that he was hired and was asked to start working immediately.

"I said I was going to the town, but I didn't say how long I would work. Qingqing, you have to take care of yourself when I'm not at home." Shao Sheng'an felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, but he knew that there was no end in sight for the end of the natural disaster, and he wanted to continue for a long time.

Development cannot always be tied to the love of children.

Qiao Qingqing touched his face and said softly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you at home. You should also pay attention to your safety. We will wait for your return at home."

Shao's father also made a promise: "As long as I am here, no one can bully our family."

With reluctance to leave his family, Shao Sheng'an and other colleagues left the village in a procession carrying their baggage and headed for the town.
