Chapter 341 - The Hard Work Was Valuable

Chapter 341 The Hard Work Was Valuable

Shen Yan caressed the forehead with his fingers and thought about it. "Which villages are there? I will check it for you."

Xia Yu reported the names of the three villages quickly, and Shen Yan let her wait for a while. He immediately went to check and found out that they were three remote villages. They were not villages where nobody lived, but villages that were too far from the town.

Why was Shen Group given such remote villages this time? But this was what had been determined so that it was hard for Shen Yan to say anything.

"Did you ask the people who came to get the disaster relief materials about the situation in the village?" Shen Yan thought about it and asked.

"Ah? No, I didn't!" Xia Yu said. Besides, she was not the person in charge, so it was not convenient for her to ask and say more. She could only do what the leader asked.

"If there are people coming later, you should carefully ask for the information about the disaster situation in their village as well as how they can get to the town to get the relief supplies, resettlement of the villagers and so on. You can go to search for the information." Shen Yan thought for a while and said. Because if the victims did not come to get the things, they would have to wait there all the time.

They would lose the time. What was more, the victims could not get salvation.

"Well, I remember this." Xia Yu said. During the last time when she came over to the disaster, it was quite simple. She just sent the things directly to the Civil Affairs Department, and specially-assigned person would accompany them. But this time, it was different. Xia Yu discovered that everything was worth learning.

Shen Yan was very worried and very self-blaming. It was that he was too busy with his work and could not spare some time to deal with private matters. Only then did she have to hide and encounter such a problem. Shen Yan looked quietly at the rising night outside the window. "Take care of yourself!"

In fact, she really didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, it was work. What was more, it was meaningful work. But seeing that he was so worried about her, the sweetness of her heart was inspired. She nodded and said, "Well, I remember. Don't worry."

He said "hmm" and then added, "Call me anytime if there is anything wrong. Understand?"

"Well, I know." She answered.

It was clearly a scene of dilapidation in front of her. But Xia Yu did not feel sad at all. She thought that he would blame her and say that she made her own claim, but she did not expect that he would care about her after all.

"Then I will hang up first, or else my instant noodles will be eaten." She said with a smile.

"Well, goodbye!" Eat instant noodles? His heart sank again, but he did not say anything. When going to that place, hardship was inevitable.

After saying "goodbye", Xia Yu could not bear hanging up the phone for a long time, but finally, she still hung up. She turned back and walked to the workplace quickly.

"Xia Yu, hurry up! Your noodles are uneatable nearly." Section Chief Xu said.

"I'm sorry. I just made a call." Xia Yu smiled. Then she sat down on the side and held up the bucket of instant noodles to keep eating.

After eating dinner, they watched people coming and going on the street and then looked at the opposite side of the table. Except for a few people who asked about the situation, there were no ordinary people to get the supplies at all. Xia Yu thought of the words of Shen Yan.

"Xiaoliu, let me see the list which we registered today." She went up to the weak man and said.

I wrote down every name. "Xiaoliu said. But his heart was in the whisper that she really regarded herself as half a landlady only after dating with Young Master Yan. Considering her posture, she even used to dislike Zeng Mina. What she was like now went even further than Zeng Mina.

Xia Yu glanced at him. Xiaoliu’s white skin seemed to have been faint because he had been sunburned for half a day.

Looking at a man's skin seemed to be a bit unethical. But, hey-hey! It didn't matter, and she just took a look.

When Xia Yu sat on the stool with the registration list in her hands, Zeng Quan came over and sat down, carrying a stool. "Secretary Xia, what are you looking at?"

Xia Yu looked at him and said, "Don't you feel weird? Why are there so many people at the other distribution sites while there are so few people here?"

Before Zeng Quan could answer, Section Chief Xu, who was sitting on the side and manicuring, said, "Maybe, it is because the people in those villages do not need these things at all. There are only some instant noodles. Nobody wants to eat. The instant noodles taste so bad."

Xia Yu and Zeng Quan looked at Section Chief Xu at the same time and ignored her.

People like Queen Margo who didn’t know the hardships of people and didn’t care about it, were everywhere in the world at all ages.

"Yeah, I also feel strange. Why is it?" Zeng Quan said. He had suspected it long before but did not say it out.

“Is it...” Xia Yu thought and said, “Is it because the roads to the town in these villages have been broken and it’s not convenient to go out?”

She said, looking at Zeng Quan as if she was inquiring. Zeng Quan fell into deep thought and said after a long time, "It is possible. If they are unable to come to receive the relief supplies because the roads are broken while they just need these things...”

Before Xia Yu could have time to answer him, there was a middle-aged man coming over towards their table. He already stood in front of Xiaoliu and asked if it was the relief material distribution site of Yang Village in a strong dialect.

"Yes, Uncle!" Xia Yu came up to him quickly. Seeing that Xia Yu came up, Zeng Quan began to prepare things to give the uncle.

"Okay, okay! This is the household registration book of our family. You see..." The uncle said, carefully taking out a household registration book from the inner pocket of the jacket. Xia Yu took it immediately and handed it to Xiaoliu to register. At the same time, she told Zeng Quan how many instant noodles and candles were needed and how much mineral water should be given out.

"Uncle, how is your village? Why don't you come to get the things?" Xia Yu asked.

"The roads are broken, and it is so far away. The villagers are almost all the old and the baby. Nobody will come. Look at me! I just went out this afternoon, and it was dark when I reached the town. After I take these candles back, it will be daybreak." The uncle said, filling the bag carried by him with the things which Zeng Quan brought here.

"You are still in the village, and did you go to the resettlement sites?" Xia Yu asked.

"Our village is too far away, and no one has sent the tent there yet. So, we are all waiting in the house." The uncle replied.

"How many people are there in your village? And how far is it from the town?" Xia Yu asked.

The uncle looked at her and said, "In our team, there are more than a dozen families. The roads are broken, and we can’t ride a bicycle. It takes three or four hours to walk here." After saying this, the uncle just pressed his fingerprint on the position that Xiaoliu pointed at and went away, carrying the bag on his back.

Zeng Quan looked at Xia Yu. She looked so serious and took up the registration book of Xiaoliu’s hand. She counted the number of people in this uncle’s village just now. And there were less than ten percent of people who came to get the things. Being affected by the disaster, the roads were broken, and the tents were not delivered. So, what did the ordinary people eat and drink in the village?

Xia Yu thought about it and was ready to contact the Civil Affairs Department. She wanted them to figure out an idea. Nobody knew that they would say that they were short of people and let themselves handle it as appropriate.

How did they deal with it as appropriate? Xia Yu looked at the uncle who took the things.

"Uncle, uncle, wait..." After thinking for a while, Xia Yu chased out. After a while, the uncle came back with her.

"Zeng Quan, let's count some good things and go to borrow a bike!" She said.

The three people in the tent were staring at her.

"Okay, I will do it now!" Zeng Quan looked at Xia Yu's face, as if he understood her meaning immediately. After saying that, she began to count the disaster relief supplies according to the number and prepared for packing.

"Xia Yu, what are you going to do?" Section Chief Xu asked.

"Section Chief Xu, Xiaoliu, you stay here. It is evening, and there may not be too many people. Zeng Quan and I will hurry to send these things to the village of the uncle who just arrived in the night." After saying this, Xia Yu helped Zeng Quan with his work.

Section Chief Xu and Xiaoliu looked at them, and they didn’t mean to reach out and help at all. They just look at these two people. If Xia Yu and Zeng Quan had nothing to do when they were full, it was their job to find something to do. It had nothing to do with them.

Anyway, Section Chief Xu didn't want to get a promotion in the company anymore. She compared the two young masters once and once again. One was stricter than another, and it was difficult to get promoted under their hands. She just wanted to lazy away in the company. As long as she didn't make mistakes, no matter who was in charge, it was the same for her.

Of course, she did not stop Xia Yu. Xia Yu’s status was still not stable, and she still wanted to be recognized by Shen Family. This is the price that must be paid to seek a dashing marriage. Section Chief Xu was somewhat contemptuous and showed a little sympathy at this time. She couldn’t tell which was more on earth.

However, one thing was certain. If Xia Yu had sent these materials to the victims earlier, they could have gone back earlier. This was really not a place for people to stay, so she did not stop Xia Yu.

The young man named Zeng Quan was so sincere. After finishing packing the box, he borrowed a tricycle and a bicycle from a pharmacy on the other side of the road. He quickly loaded things into the tricycle with Xia Yu and left the distribution site with the uncle.

"Are these two people crazy?" Xiaoliu said on the side.

"Let them alone. If they like tossing about, just let them toss it." As for Zeng Quan, Section Chief Xu still knew him a bit. He spoke straight and was willing to do the work without complaint, but he did not get promoted anyway.

He had worked in the company for three years and was still a small staff. He always did the most work, but no superior was unwilling to promote him.

He was outspoken and frank. If he saw something which was not pleasing to the eye, he must say it out. No leader was willing to promote someone like him. But when it came to this kind of heavy work, the leader thought of him all at once and even wrote down his name at the first time.

"The kiss-ass! Xia Yu has not become a regular worker yet. But he still wants to apple-polish her." Xiaoliu glanced at him severely on the side.

"Don' t care about his business. People have their own aspirations and let them toss it." Section Chief Xu thought nothing of it and made it smoother than Xiaoliu.

"You are right. He didn't win Young Master Mo's heart. If he didn't play up to Young Master Yan, he would pack up and get out of the company." Xiaoliu babbled on the side. He was different from Section Chief Xu, who was female as well as the oldest one. The leaders left her behind, and she stayed naturally.

But he was different. He was a man. Xia Yu, as a girl, had gone. So, he felt embarrassed to stay here anyway. But he really didn't want to go because he had not been through any real hardship at all.

Because of the embarrassment in his mind, he naturally wanted to hush up his shameless behavior behind others.

Xia Yu didn't know that she had caused so many thoughts of Xiaoliu by an unintentional move. She followed the uncle to move on.

Darkness crept into the sky.

She didn't think that she would do such a thing. She even had no idea how far it was from the town to the village. She chatted with the uncle along the way. Zeng Quan rode a tricycle while Xia Yu pushed the bicycle and occasionally rode it.

Zeng Quan was good at carrying things. But riding a bicycle on this bumpy road was hard for him. Xia Yu could not help shaking his head and sighing.

However, when Zeng Quan saw her emotion, he tried his best to ride the tricycle as if he wanted to prove that he was very useful and powerful.

It was really difficult to ride on this road. They stopped and went. When encountering the pitted road section, they had to unload the things on the tricycle. They lifted the tricycle over and then loaded things into the tricycle again.

The uncle helped them a lot. Although they were younger than the uncle, they were completely not as capable as the uncle at all. Seeing the moon crept into the sky, a group of three people gasped and got into the village.

Although many people in the village were already asleep, when hearing that relief workers sent the relief supplies to their doorsteps overnight, they all got up and rushed to the wheat field at the village entrance. They took their own household registers book to register and receive the goods.

After giving out the things, Xia Yu asked Zeng Quan to go to the village to have a look with her. Although Zeng Quan did not understand what she was doing this for, looking at her sweaty hair, he followed her to have a look door to door.

This night, when the two people finished visiting a dozen families, it was already two or three o'clock in the morning. The captain of the village squad arranged for them to live at his own home, and they could go back to the town at dawn.

Seeing that everyone had received the things, Xia Yu’s heart was suddenly relaxed as if the hardships of this road and this night were valuable. That was great!

The bright moon hung up overhead, and the night in the country made people feel cold even on a summer night, not to mention that it was already autumn. Besides, before they were on the road, they were busy distributing the goods and got tired with sweat all over their bodies. She couldn't help sneezing several times when being blown by the wind.

"Do you have a cold?" It was unknown when Zeng Quan came up behind her.

"I am fine. It is just a gust of wind." She squeezed her nose and said.

"Take some cold medicine. It is always good to prevent it." He gave advice to Xia Yu.
