Chapter 158 Bringing Back the Butcher Father
Chapter 158 Bringing Back the Butcher Father
Others are angry, but Tu Shan is beautiful.
Wash and prepare dinner.
Although she had a meal at Zong Zheng's house in the afternoon, it did not prevent her from continuing in the evening.
Have an iron pot stew and pancakes in the evening.
What was stewed were the pheasants and rabbits that were brought back from the secret base. There were still a few left, so we stewed them all in one pot.
A lot of potatoes and Gastrodia elata were added to ensure sufficient quantity.
Since the butcher's father was not at home, she still had to deliver food to the butcher's mother, otherwise the old lady might just roast two sweet potatoes to fool her.
Since we are going to deliver food to the old lady, we have to prepare some staple food. Use a small casserole to cook a pot of pumpkin porridge on the stove and add a small piece of brown sugar. It is delicious and nutritious.
When the meal was ready, she ate voraciously, finishing in less than half an hour, and then took the food and went out.
Tu's mother was home alone and went to bed early.
She was always worried that the butcher couldn't sleep. Moreover, she had never been alone in all these years and was very scared. She tossed and turned on the wicker bed.
"Mom, are you asleep?" Tu Shan appeared quietly beside Tu's mother's bed.
The butcher's mother shuddered subconsciously. Fortunately, the moonlight was bright enough for her to see who was coming at the first moment, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
After recovering, he asked anxiously, "Shan...you're here? Why are you here? Is your dad okay? What's the situation over there?"
"It's all right, everything is fine. The rain stopped at noon. Dad has been busy there because there are many patients. I have someone to help look after him. Dad won't be bullied, don't worry.
I came to bring you food, knowing that you would be confused at night when you are alone. I have pumpkin and brown sugar porridge, stewed in an iron pot and some pancakes. The temperature is just right, so eat them quickly.
I'm going to Yang County right now to bring Dad back to see Master Zong Zheng. I'll be back soon after the consultation. It'll be quick. Eat and go to bed early."
The butcher's mother was worried: "Do we still have to go so late?"
"Yes, the old man has to get a shot every night, and dad has to come back and rest."
Tu's mother was worried about Tu's father, and even though she was worried about Tu Shan, she didn't try to persuade her much, but just asked Tu Shan to be careful.
Tu Shan went straight to the resettlement site and was speechless for a long time when she saw that the resettlement site had been expanded at least twice.
Is it because the feng shui of this land is good that people were sent here?
I found the busy butcher in the crowd, sweating profusely. "Dad, did you have dinner? Did you take a break?"
The butcher was so busy that he was dizzy. When Tu Shan pulled him to question him, he was stunned for a moment: "I ate, I ate, and I rested."
Liang Kang came running over. He was also a busy man, sweating profusely. "Third sister is here? Please persuade Doctor Tu. I asked him to rest for a while. He sat for a few minutes perfunctorily and then went back to work. He also ate his meal in a hurry and didn't eat properly. If he continues like this, he will definitely not be able to bear it."
The butcher father was dismantled and said with a wry smile: "I'm not tired. I know my own body."
Tu Shan glanced at her old father and smiled at Liang Kang: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Liang. Were all these people delivered this afternoon?"
Liang Kang nodded: "More than 2,000 people were sent here, and now we have more than 3,000 people here. I was the first to manage this place, and after it was taken over, the leader gave me the position of a team leader, specializing in miscellaneous matters.
Food, medicine, and various clothes and daily necessities were delivered this afternoon. We have everything we need now.
However, these injuries won't heal quickly, so I'm afraid they'll have to stay here for a while, and the arrangements above will also have to wait."
Tu Shan asked: "What are your plans?"
Liang Kang sighed, "The higher-ups briefly mentioned this. One is that after the water recedes, those whose villages are still habitable will return to their original villages. The other is that those like us whose villages have been destroyed and who cannot return will have to resettle.
There are two options for resettlement: one is to be randomly arranged to other villages, and the other is to choose a suitable place and build a new village.
From what they said, building a new village would be time-consuming and expensive, so it's probably not realistic, so they will most likely be incorporated into other villages."
Tu Shan raised her eyebrows. It's not impossible to incorporate them into other villages, but there are so many people and so little land nowadays. I'm afraid not many places would be willing to accept them. Even if they go, they might be looked down upon.
It's not a big deal, it will be fine after a while.
Judging from Liang Kang's expression, he probably wants to return to his original village.
However, this is impossible.
"No matter what the arrangements are, I will not ignore you. A tree that doesn't move will die, but a person who moves will live. As a person, you have to move when you need to. You can live anywhere."
Liang Kang smiled: "Third sister is right. We are very lucky to be alive now. We dare not ask for anything else. We have to thank you for this. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be here now."
"No need to thank me. What are you thanking me for? I have to take my dad back to rest. Is everything okay here?"
"It's okay, it's okay. We've been told that Doctor Tu needs to leave. Just report it."
Tu Shan took her father to report to the leader here. The leader was very easy to talk to. Not only did he approve the report, but he also gave her all kinds of caring instructions.
Tu Shan felt that it must be Zong Zheng Min'an who gave the order. If he really had someone higher up, everything would be easy.
On the way back, Tu Shan didn't walk very fast, she was staggering and talking to Tu's father in a disjointed manner.
The butcher was actually very tired. He was very excited about practicing medicine again. Relying on this spirit, he persevered all day long without showing any fatigue on his face.
But his body couldn't take it and he felt sleepy as soon as he relaxed. He swayed a few times on Tu Shan's back and fell asleep.
Tu Shan stopped swaying, walked back steadily at a steady pace.
It was already eleven o'clock when they arrived at Zong Zheng's house. Butcher's father had woken up, but no one in Zong Zheng's family was asleep yet. Zong Zheng Min'an still hadn't come back. Zong Zhengrui came back from his shift, took a shower, and had a meal, but didn't go to rest. He waited for Butcher's father to come and give the old man acupuncture.
"Doctor Tu, you've worked hard all day. I'm sorry to trouble you to come here." Zong Zheng Guotai held Tu's father's hand affectionately.
The butcher waved his hands repeatedly: "It's okay, it's all as it should be. Besides, I'm not tired. The maid carried me back and forth. I didn't walk a single step. How could I be tired?"
Aunt Wei said, "How can I not be tired? Seeing a doctor is the most exhausting thing. Please wash your face first and refresh yourself. Let's eat and then see the old man.
The old man is in good condition today. He is taking medicine and taking medicinal baths smoothly. There is no need to rush.
The people in Zong Zheng's family were very enthusiastic, so Butcher's father's idea of seeing the patient first was aborted.
After a simple wash and being served a meal, I went to see the doctor.
Tu Shan walked up to Zong Zhengrui and asked him about disaster relief.
“How many casualties and property damages?”
Zong Zhengrui glanced at her and said, "We haven't finished counting yet, but the number is quite large. Fortunately, the rain has stopped and the water is slowly receding, making it easier to carry out the rescue work. It will be over soon."
Tu Shan didn't like his vague statement and snorted in disdain: "How many houses are still habitable?"
Zong Zhengrui saw her disdain, was silent for a moment, and gave a slightly more accurate explanation: "Only one in ten survived. Most of the houses and residences along the coast were washed away and are no longer habitable." New buildings need to be built, and new buildings cost money. The higher-ups are crying poor and saying they have no money, so this matter might drag on for some time.
Seeing Tu Shan about to show her disgust again, she quickly added: "Actually, the rain this time wasn't that heavy, so it can't be considered a natural disaster. All of this was caused by the dam collapse, which was a man-made disaster. They will definitely be held accountable later. This matter will have a lot of fuss."
