Chapter 103 Prepare for a rainy day

As this wave of disasters passed, all countries also invested in disaster relief work. During this period, my country's foreign trade was very small, so the overall impact was not very large.

After the shock wave, the world situation stabilized, which meant that Zhang Dongliang and Xiaodie had achieved certain results in the first phase of their work in this world and could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily.

Xiao Die said that it was fortunate that he used the power of creation to support this world, otherwise the damage caused by the disaster would be much greater.

Xiao Die said that there is no rush to go to other time and space, so let Zhang Dongliang stay there for now, and he will inform Zhang Dongliang when the time comes.

The New Era Office is located in the courtyard where Zhang Dongliang first visited the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Zhang Dongliang's current nominal position is deputy director of the New Era Work Office, and he tries to make time to come here once a week.

"Hello, Deputy Director Zhang." When clerk Zhu Libo saw Zhang Dongliang enter the office, he quickly stood up to greet him and picked up the cup to make tea for Zhang Dongliang.

"Is Director Shang here? I have something to discuss with him."

"Yes, do you want me to go over and tell Director Shang?"

"No, I'll just go find him."

"Hello, Director Shang." Zhang Dongliang came to Director Shang Yucheng's office and greeted him.

"Deputy Director Zhang, you've come at the right time. We have something we would like to consult you on recently."

"You are too polite, Leader. Just let him tell you what you need."

"We mainly want to ask, is the disaster over now?"

"Yes, the massive catastrophe is over, there are only minor problems left."

Apart from the original drought, the country is relatively small in terms of disaster damage, so in addition to disaster relief, we are also stepping up construction work on the third line.

Once we confirm that the disaster is over, we don't have to invest huge amounts of energy in disaster prevention and can free up our energy for construction.

Zhang Dongliang does not express any opinions on these national affairs. He can only make suggestions at most, but will not interfere.

Zhang Dongliang came here this time mainly to report two things.

One is that providing technical information requires a lot of paper and ink, which can only be provided by the state due to regulations.

Director Shang was very happy: "This is what I should do, there is absolutely no problem." Zhang Dongliang informed Director Shang of the paper specifications and some technical requirements of ink.

Director Shang said that he would immediately arrange for the relevant departments to carry out the research and development and get the finished product to Zhang Dongliang for review as soon as possible.

The second thing was the big earthquake in Gangcheng in 1976. Since it was an important time and space marker, he considered it again and again, and also sought Xiaodie's opinion, and still had to tell the country.

When Director Shang heard about the earthquake, his expression became serious: "Is what you said true?"

"It is real in the future world, and the situation is very serious. It is already a world-famous earthquake. So we must take some precautions. Important factories and population centers cannot be built in earthquake zones.

Due to the world's catastrophe, earthquakes and tsunamis have released some energy, but the probability of earthquakes in the future is still relatively high. The only hope is that after the energy is released, the magnitude of the earthquake may not be so large. "

Zhang Dongliang took out the earthquake regional distribution map of later generations and gave it to Director Shang. As for how the country would dispatch and arrange it, that was not something he could participate in.

Now is the most critical time for the whole country to go all out to fight against the disaster and rescue and get through the three difficult years. It is not convenient for me to come up with some other things so as not to disrupt the original plans and deployments in the country. It would be bad to force things.

Director Shang Yucheng asked Zhang Dongliang whether he would report the situation to the higher authorities with him, but Zhang Dongliang refused.

Zhang Dongliang made it clear that it is good for him to maintain the current level of contact with the country. Due to the rules, it would not be good to go any higher.

Director Shang went to report the important situation he had just learned, and Zhang Dongliang also left the New Era Office and went home.

Qin Huairu has had a very bad time since the beginning of the new year, and now she can be said to be in a state of panic.

In a family of four, she is the only one with a salary, which is only more than 20 yuan a month.

Although she had transferred her household registration to Sijiucheng after coordination with Zhang Dongliang when she started working, both her child and she had rationed supplies and no longer had to buy expensive grain all day long as before.

But now, due to natural disasters, the food ration has been cut several times and is not enough to eat. The price of food on the black market remains high, and Banggeng and Jia Zhang are particularly greedy, so they have to buy some expensive food on the black market to supplement their food.

Qin Huairu originally received subsidies from Zhang Dongliang and was completely unaware of these things.

Qin Huairu got a lot of food and meat. Zhang Dongliang was generous and gave her a lot of money, so she didn't feel any difficulty at all.

Now she felt it.

But for such a long time, Qin Huairu didn't get the chance to restore her relationship with Zhang Dongliang. Besides, Zhang Dongliang had no shortage of women around him, and he couldn't live without her, which made her anxious.

Fortunately, everyone in the factory knew about her relationship with Zhang Dongliang. Zhang Dongliang was a popular figure in the factory, so no one made things difficult for her, otherwise her life would be even more difficult.

As bad as it gets, Qin Huairu was worried and anxious, and her family was not at peace either. Jia Zhang had been taking painkillers for many years, and now she was taking more and more.

Although Jia Zhang had her own small treasury, she said it was her retirement money. She asked Qin Huairu for two yuan every month to pay for painkillers.

I don’t know if it’s because Yi Zhonghai’s departure has dealt a heavy blow to Jia Zhangshi. Now once the painkillers are stopped, Jia Zhangshi’s behavior becomes extremely crazy and his mental state is obviously a little abnormal.

Once, because of a lack of painkillers, Jia Zhang not only smashed the house to pieces, but also ran naked into the yard shouting and screaming, scaring everyone in the yard.

Liu Haizhong's wife and Yan Bugui's wife had been promoted to the first and second aunts. They helped Qin Huairu together and it took a lot of effort to drag Jia Zhang into the house.

"Huairu, I'm not saying anything to you, but your mother-in-law's illness needs treatment." The first and second aunts persuaded Qin Huairu that after something like this happened, where would everyone put their faces?

"But Auntie, I can't send my mother-in-law to a mental hospital." Qin Huairu's tears fell like a broken string.

Yes, in this day and age, anyone who wants to send their elderly to a mental hospital will definitely be scolded as unfilial. The two aunts were silent after hearing this and could not persuade them any further.

Banggeng is a little kid, but he is also a worry. He often steals things from his classmates at school. He steals an eraser today and a pencil tomorrow, and is often called in by the teacher.

All of this weighed heavily on Qin Huairu, making her almost unable to breathe. Only now did she deeply realize how happy and worry-free she was under Zhang Dongliang's protection.
