~5 min read 874 words

The old lady asked, "Who are you? Why don't you stop standing outside and come into the house to talk? There is a stove in the house, it's warmer."

Fang Zhonglin nodded and followed the old lady into the house. There were two rooms inside and outside, both very small. The outer room had a stove, which was warm. This stove was a kind of iron stove, and a chimney went from the window to the outside of the house, so there was no smoke in the house, and there would be no poisoning. This was also the wisdom of the working people.

The old lady said apologetically, "I'm sorry, the place at home is small, and I can't let you all come in and sit."

While the old lady was talking, she brought a few small chairs and put them next to the stove. In such a small room, only this kind of small chair could be used.

Fang Zhonglin sat down, and Fang Zhonglin's secretary, as well as Qian Jianan and Su Xinghui, also entered the room and sat down, sitting by the stove. Others could only stand at the door. The room was really too small and low, and if a few more people went in, it would appear very cramped.

The old lady said, "I don't know who you are, but when these houses collapsed, no one was hurt, because the government notified the families whose houses were not strong the day before and asked them to move away. They moved to the office building in the factory, and there were worker clubs and so on, and many people lived there. By the way, Director Liu of the neighborhood committee also came that day, and this comrade."

The old lady pointed to Su Xinghui's secretary, Ding Qinghai. That day, Ding Qinghai also came to this area to direct the transfer of these disaster-stricken residents.

Ding Qinghai not only directed others to do things that day, but also ran around himself, helping these disaster-stricken residents move things, and also helping the elderly and children, which left a deep impression on the old lady.

Fang Zhonglin smiled and said, "Old lady, really no one was hurt that day?"

The old lady thought for a while and said, "It's not right to say that no one was hurt..."

Fang Zhonglin said, "Who was hurt?"

The old lady said, "Old Zhang who lives in the alley in front, he slipped while walking and fell, breaking his leg. But the government sent him to the hospital immediately. Now he is hospitalized in the hospital. I went to see him the day before yesterday. The conditions in the hospital where he lives are quite good, with heating, and he also eats patient meals..."

As the saying goes, old trees have many roots, and old people have many words. Once the old lady started chattering, she couldn't stop. However, Fang Zhonglin still didn't interrupt her and kept listening with a smile. He knew that this should be the most real situation. If this old lady was pretending, then she was enough to win an Oscar for Best Actress.

Although the old lady's words were long-winded, she kept talking about Ding Qinghai helping someone move things, but Fang Zhonglin was not annoyed at all and kept listening. What the old lady said just proved that the Linshan Municipal Government's work this time was meticulous and in place, and their combat effectiveness and execution were indeed impeccable.

The old lady chattered for more than ten minutes, and she suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, comrade, I'm really old and confused. You have been here for so long, and I haven't even poured water for you. You wait, I'll go pour water for you."

The old lady was about to get up to pour water for Fang Zhonglin and the others, but Fang Zhonglin got up and said, "Old lady, no need. We just asked casually. We won't disturb you anymore. Let's go first. You don't have to be busy."

The old lady was anxious and said, "This is so inappropriate. You came to my house, and I didn't even pour you a glass of water, and you are leaving. Sit for a while longer."

Fang Zhonglin smiled and said, "We won't sit. We have things to do. You don't get up. We are leaving."

Fang Zhonglin and his party left the old lady's house and closed the door for her. Fang Zhonglin walked forward casually, walked into another alley, and knocked on another family's door. This family had an old man and an old lady, younger than the old lady just now, and their thinking was clearer.

They said they were retired workers from the printing plant. Fang Zhonglin also asked the same question, and the answers they gave were the same as the old lady. They said that the government had transferred everyone away, and except for a few people who fell and were injured, no other casualties appeared.

Fang Zhonglin visited several families in this area in a row, and the answers he got were basically the same. These residents were very moved by the government's actions this time and felt that the government was sincerely thinking for them.
