Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

Chapter 184 Lend a helping hand

"Who has a pot and a stove? Can you lend it to us?" Gao You saw that several families had brought pots.

The stove was made of stones and mud in the corridor.

"My family has it. My family has it." An older sister with a gloomy face immediately raised her hand.

"What's your name?" Gao You asked her.

"My name is Du Chunmei." Du Chunmei replied immediately.

"Okay, Sister Du, please pick a few sisters to help us cook." Gao You saw that some children were so hungry that they could only snuggle in their mother's arms.

"Okay, okay. Third sister-in-law, Asheng's wife, and Sixth Aunt." Du Chunmei immediately picked a few women with whom she had a good relationship.

"The rest of you who help find firewood, whether dry or wet, will have a bowl of porridge tonight." Gao You looked at those who were not chosen and they all looked unhappy.

Sometimes it's not that people are evil, they are just hungry, and there are people who want to cause trouble.

She has to strike the right balance.

You can't just give out food for nothing and then be looted and blamed.

When the others heard this, they all started to move.

Even if there was still food left, the women would take care of it while they went out to find firewood.

Many places nearby were flooded, but some firewood could still be found.

By the evening, many people came back with firewood, and Du Chunmei and a few sisters prepared dinner.

In the end, almost everyone had a bowl of porridge with canned meat.

Only porridge.

But it was thick and sweet, and everyone who ate it was extremely satisfied.

Some people haven't had hot food for two or three days.

Even if there was rice and a stove, the yellow mud water outside was not clean. Some people ate it and had diarrhea all night.

Yu Honghong and her friends had already driven away before it got dark.

Gao You and six team members stayed in the train carriage, taking turns to keep watch and spent the night safely.

Gao You contacted the county leaders in Xiaoshui Town through his mobile phone and explained the situation to the county. The leaders immediately arranged for people to come over.

In this situation, if no one takes care of it, it is likely that gangs will appear and take advantage of the situation to rob, so they have to pay attention.

After dawn, the county police arrived in two trucks.

According to the instructions of their leaders, they prepared to take these people to the county for resettlement.

When the people who stayed in the waiting room saw the police comrades from the county coming, some people with ulterior motives did not dare to act rashly.

The station staff breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that everyone had finally left.

If they stayed any longer, they didn't know what would happen.

When their own food is gone, they might rob others and steal supplies from the carriages.

Fortunately fortunately.

Gao You and the others waited for a whole day, and at midnight, Yu Honghong and the others also arrived.

Two more trucks were added, and finally all the supplies were unloaded.

After dawn, Gao You drove back to the provincial capital.

This trip took five or six days to go back and forth.

When Gao You returned to the provincial capital, he received some good news and bad news.

The good news is that the highest instructions have been issued from above to spare no effort in disaster relief.

Now rescue teams from all over the country are rushing here urgently.

Moreover, a distress signal has been sent out to the entire Chinese community and even the world.

This was the first large-scale, direct appeal to the international community for assistance in response to a domestic natural disaster.

Various countries have also extended a helping hand.

Chinese people in Hong Kong and all over the world are actively donating money and supplies to the flood disaster.

The bad news is that the rain has been falling intermittently and the flood water has not receded but is still rising.

The disaster has now spread to several provinces, with the affected population reaching tens of millions and the affected area of ​​crops reaching millions of hectares. The collapsed houses and economic losses are innumerable.

Gao You drank egg soup and listened to the broadcast on the radio, feeling very heavy-hearted.

There is no mutton soup now. Many railways and roads leading to other provinces are broken, so it cannot be transported. Only eggs are left.

But there aren't many eggs left.

All kinds of grains, oils, meat and eggs on the market are also in short supply.

Fortunately, Gao You asked Liu Yue'e and others to stock up some rice, flour, grain and oil in advance.

Otherwise, the rescue team members would have to go rescue people on an empty stomach.

However, the supplies that Gao You brought back also relieved a lot of pressure.

Not only has the equipment been upgraded, but supplies have also become much more sufficient.

There are also dozens of retired veterans who have asked to join the rescue team, and some have already rushed here from all over the place.

The place where kindergarten children originally took naps was converted into a large bunk bed with mats and mattresses on the floor, which could barely accommodate so many people sleeping on the floor.

Now there are dozens more people and there isn’t enough space.

Dai Meijiao also helped to contact a kindergarten that was on holiday and there was just enough space.

However, the provincial capital is now full of disaster victims, and all places that can shelter from the rain have been used to accommodate the victims.

Even all the major universities, high schools, junior high schools and primary schools are fully occupied.

Temporary tents were set up in all the higher places in the provincial capital.

The victims hid in their tents, looking at the sky that seemed to have been pierced, their expressions numb and desperate.

Li Xiyan and the company's employees distributed sanitary napkins to women in various disaster relief gathering places every day.

Seeing them accept the small package of sanitary napkins with gratitude yet embarrassment, Li Xiyan felt very uncomfortable.

After Director Ji's factory stopped production, he took in many disaster victims and had them live in the factory.

Workers and children took out their wages and pocket money to buy food for the victims.

The victims were also very grateful. Before the flood poured into the factory, they all helped by carrying sandbags, digging drainage ditches, and moving machines. This allowed the Hope Factory, which was not originally located on a high ground, to preserve most of its property at the peak of the flood.

Director Mao and her colleagues could not stop working at all. They worked overtime and tried their best to make umbrellas, raincoats, tents and other products and send them to the disaster-stricken front lines.

Pan Yufeng and Xiong Dani receive rescue missions almost every day, but with the equipment brought back by Gao You, their efficiency has improved a lot.

It's just food for more than a hundred people, plus we have to go out for rescue and often provide support to the victims, so the consumption is huge.

They didn't have much in stock to begin with, and even with the money given by Li Shengxiong, the daily consumption was still astonishing, which made Gao You a little anxious.

She contacted Yu Lishu's uncle and bought a large number of fast foods such as bread, biscuits, instant noodles, etc. from him.

This cousin named Lao Tan was indeed an enthusiastic man. Not only did he agree to sell it to Gao You at cost price, he also introduced her to several owners of food and beverage factories.

They were all his business friends, and after discussion, they all agreed to provide their products to Gao You at cost price.

It’s just that transportation is a problem now.

Their convoy could only go to the next province because the road was blocked and they had to take a detour.

Gao You also has to find a solution himself.

She took Yu Honghong and ten borrowed trucks and set out again to the neighboring province to meet the call.

Going there and back, another seven or eight days passed.

The supplies this time were mainly food, which was finally supplied to the rescue team that was almost out of ammunition and food.

During this time, Gao You also received a call from Professor Yi.
