Chapter 3992: Rebuilding Homes

This administrative zone was built with funds allocated by the central and provincial governments, and to the west of the administrative zone was a residential zone. Many of the buildings here were assisted by Yanbei Province—or more accurately, led by the Linshan City reconstruction assistance working group.

In this residential zone, more than ten thousand square meters of residential housing would be built, along with a school, a hospital, and other public facilities. After completion next year, it could accommodate tens of thousands of people to live here.

This was also the largest residential zone in the new Xingfu County town, and several more such residential zones would be built within three years, allowing all residents of Xingfu County town to move into their new homes.

The funds for building this residential zone, in addition to the reconstruction assistance funds from Linshan City, also included some donations from the Xinhuo Foundation, as well as some matching funds from Chuanxi Province. These funds were currently in place on time, so the construction site was bustling with activity. Everyone hoped to let the disaster victims in the Xingfu disaster area move into their new homes as soon as possible.

Industry giants like the Mi Group and Hongtu Real Estate Development Company undertook the construction work of this residential zone. They were strong and had their own unique strengths in construction technology; otherwise, they couldn't have completed the construction of such a large residential zone in just a few months, including two months of winter.

Jin Hao and Chai Yongxin came here almost every day to inspect, and they knew the situation here like the back of their hands. They kept introducing the situation here to Su Xinghui, and He Fusheng also kept thanking them on the side.

This fifty-year-old man truly had a heart of gratitude. If the reconstruction assistance working group hadn't come to help them, relying on themselves, who knew what year or month they would be able to rebuild their homes.

As for that commercial zone, it was built by investors introduced by Xingfu County. These investors were also introduced by Su Xinghui. Their cooperation model with Xingfu County was that Xingfu County provided the land, and they brought funds to build this commercial zone, and the commercial buildings built would be sold after completion to recoup funds.

This was also the fastest way to rebuild homes in a disaster area. If they relied solely on Xingfu County town to develop slowly, who knew what year or month it would be restored to its original appearance.

He Fusheng looked at these functional zones, his face filled with sincere smiles. He said, "Mayor Su, the future Xingfu County town will be planned more scientifically, the roads will be wider, the houses will be more beautiful, and the common people will live better. These houses are also built according to the standard of resisting a magnitude-10 earthquake, so we won't be afraid if there is another earthquake in the future."

Su Xinghui looked at a large sign standing next to a construction site. What was drawn on that sign was the effect drawing of the new Xingfu County town after the completion of the first phase of the project. This effect drawing was very beautiful. The first phase of the project took the administrative zone as the center, with the residential and commercial zones on both sides expanding to the east and west, looking like a beautiful phoenix.

And these functional zones were connected by wide roads, and other roads divided the functional zones into small areas. The roads extended in all directions, and the planning was perfect. It was truly something to yearn for.

This was equivalent to painting again on a blank sheet of paper. Under such circumstances, if it couldn't be planned scientifically and beautifully, it would be too much of a failure.

In fact, the re-planning and design work of Xingfu County town was done by a famous designer from the National Planning and Design Institute. In order to design this drawing, he had come to Xingfu County several times and designed this effect drawing based on the location of this new county town by the mountains and water.

Now it looked like this effect drawing was designed very successfully, and Xingfu County town was also being rebuilt step by step according to the effect on the drawing.

Su Xinghui said, "Old He, your mentality is very good. Of course, we don't hope for another earthquake, but we shouldn't be afraid if an earthquake comes. As long as we build the houses strong enough, we won't be afraid of earthquakes."

He Fusheng's words indeed reflected the optimism of the people in the disaster area. They suffered a great disaster and suffered painful losses of life and property, but after the disaster, they were able to immediately throw themselves into the work of rebuilding their homes. They were not afraid of the possibility of another earthquake in the future, nor did they think about leaving this place. This was truly not easy.

He Fusheng said, "Yes, but we also have to thank your reconstruction assistance work. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even know if we could live in prefabricated houses by now."

Su Xinghui said, "Old He, stop thanking us all the time. It makes things feel distant. This is what we should do. Our reconstruction assistance working group and the people in the disaster area are working together, and we will definitely be able to help you rebuild your homes soon."

He Fusheng nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, I won't say it anymore. Mayor Su, you said it so well!"

At a construction site, Su Xinghui was pleasantly surprised to see Little Yang, the husband of that great mother who died to protect her child. He was also working hard at the construction site. Su Xinghui saw him from afar and shouted pleasantly, "Little Yang."

Little Yang was pushing a cart of bricks. Hearing someone call him, he turned his head and saw Su Xinghui. He shouted in surprise and joy, "Brother Su, you're here!"

During those days of rescue in the disaster area, Su Xinghui had become very familiar with Little Yang. He would go to hold Little Yang's child, who survived the disaster, every day, and Little Yang addressed him as "Brother Su."

Another person took the cart of bricks from Little Yang's hand, and Little Yang ran over quickly. Su Xinghui extended his hand to shake Little Yang's. Little Yang was a bit embarrassed because his hands were covered in dust, but Su Xinghui didn't mind at all, so Little Yang let go.

Little Yang said, "Brother Su, when did you arrive?"

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "I just arrived not long ago. I came specifically to see how you are rebuilding your homes."

Little Yang said, "The construction here is very fast, Brother Su. If you come again next year, we will likely be able to move into new houses."

Su Xinghui said, "That's really great. You are rebuilding your homes through your own hard work. This is truly a story worth writing about."

Little Yang said embarrassedly, "This is nothing. It is what we should do to build our own homes. Besides, the company pays me wages. The money I earn here is more than what I earned before."

Su Xinghui had already seen it outside the construction site. This construction site was a residential zone developed by Hongtu Real Estate Development Company. Hongtu Real Estate Development Company hired a large number of construction workers locally, which not only allowed them to participate in the work of rebuilding their homes but also allowed them to obtain considerable remuneration.

In fact, most of the construction workers at the construction sites here were hired locally, which could also be considered another way of reconstruction assistance.

Su Xinghui asked, "Little Yang, is your son okay now?" ===== CHAPTER 3994 =====
