At around 7 p.m. on December 19, it was completely dark as the last bit of light on the horizon dissipated. With the entrustment and warmth of the All-China Women's Federation, in the severe cold, the convoy of the Gansu Provincial Women's Federation transporting disaster relief materials arrived at Jishishan County. At this time, more than 6 hours have passed since the departure from Lanzhou, and the staff of the Women's Federation who came with the supplies did not even have time to eat a bite along the way.
After a brief handover of materials, Cui Haihua, a second-level inspector of the Gansu Provincial Women's Federation, who led the team, decided that the materials must be delivered to the village tonight and the warmth of the women's federation people to the affected people.
The destination is Meipo Village, Dahejia Town, Jishishan County. As the vehicle continues to move forward, it gets closer and closer to the hard-hit town of Dahejia, and from time to time you can see damaged houses, collapsed wall debris and villagers driving electric tricycles to collect supplies. Due to the snow a few days ago, the snow has not yet melted on some sections, and some roads are still icy as the temperature drops at night. The road is getting harder and harder, and the driver can only drive for a while, stop for a while, and drive forward cautiously.
On 20 30, the supplies finally arrived at the compound of the village committee of Meipo Village, Dahejia Town, Jishishan County. This village was one of the worst houses damaged in this time.
The reporter of China Women's Daily saw that in the night, the courtyard was full of villagers who came to receive supplies. As soon as the staff got out of the car, the villagers gathered closely.
Ding Shengmei, chairman of the County Women's Federation, said loudly to everyone: "Don't worry, everyone has it, every family has it, come according to the order!"”
The villagers were very cooperative, and with the command of the staff, except for the representatives who received the supplies, the other villagers stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited. Soon, the cart full of quilts was emptied. Immediately, agricultural vehicles loaded with supplies drove towards their respective villages.
A villager told reporters: "My daughter has injured her leg, but the rest of the family is fine." Because the house can't be lived, we have been sleeping outside all day today, and when we see you, we are down-to-earth!”
Are you members of the Women's Federation?The things you sent were so timely, it's too cold outside today!A woman with a headscarf on her head asked curiously.
At 21 00, a second vehicle full of supplies arrived, which was unloaded at a faster pace and pulled to the homes of villagers.
The reporter learned that there were 6 vehicles transporting materials today, and the vehicles were mainly loaded with coats, quilts, cotton gloves, electric heaters, instant noodles and other materials, which were sent to 3 townships and 5 villages, including Meipo Village, Dahejia Town.
I've calculated, and today's supplies are enough for each villager to get a set!Ding Shengmei told reporters.
Seeing that the materials in the yard were emptied by a truckload, the staff of the provincial, municipal and county women's federations breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the house is uninhabitable, I believe that with the help of **, we will be able to rebuild our home!A villager who came to pick up the supplies told reporters.
