Xinhua News Agency reporters Zhang Wenjing, Guo Gang, He Wenwen.
December 18, 23:59, 6Level 2** raided Jishishan Baoan Nationality Dongxiang Salar Autonomous County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province.
As of 22:00 on the 21st, 70 hours have passed since the occurrence of **. At present, the affected people have been properly housed in tents.
Jishishan County is located at a high altitude, and it is in the cold winter season, and the temperature plummets to more than minus 10 degrees Celsius.
Is it warm in the tent?Is life convenient?What are the expectations of the people affected by the disaster?With these questions in mind, Xinhua News Agency reporters walked into the temporary resettlement site on the square of Shiyuan Village in Shiyuan Town in the cold night, listened to the voices of the people, and petitioned the people.

At 22 o'clock, the chill in Shiyuan Village was even stronger. The settlement site in the village square is brightly lit.
Following the noise coming from a tent, the reporter raised his hand to open the curtain of the tent door, and saw three young people sitting around the fire chattering about their daily routines. Chai Chengliang, the owner of the tent, invited the reporter to sit on a folding bed with a three-layer mattress, and made a cup of tea for the reporter with a paper cup, and everyone chatted.
The house is gone, and the loss is too great. Chai Chengliang sighed, and at noon the next day after the earthquake, he rushed home from Lhasa, a construction site, to help.
Don't worry too much, there's always a solution. Now people are not hungry or freezing, and they are better than anything else. Cousin Chai Weiwei comforted him.
The reporter also cheered for Chai Chengliang, "There is hope." ”
Speaking of the problem of rebuilding the house, Chai Chengliang was in tears. Photo by Xinhua News Agency reporter Guo Gang.
While talking, Chai Chengliang took tongs to add charcoal to the stove and filled the reporter with hot water. During the casual conversation, he revealed his concerns.
The daughter-in-law is about to give birth in two months, and there are 6 people living in the tent, which is too crowded and inconvenient, and I am especially worried about confinement. If only the place were bigger. Chai Chengliang held his chin with his hand and frowned.
The fire is in full swing. The reporter asked: "Can you eat enough?""No problem. Chai Chengliang sat up straight and pointed to the small table on the side, only to see a bowl of uneaten finger mutton on it, and a large bag of cabbage and a bag of apples piled up below.
He said that this was sent by caring people in the afternoon, and now he does not worry about eating and drinking, "The greatest hope is to rebuild the collapsed house." ”

At this moment, the curtain was lifted. Chai Xia, a villager who lived in the tent next door, carried two catties of meat and handed it to Chai Chengliang. She taught in the county seat and came back to visit her parents who had been affected by the disaster. Chai Chengliang thanked her again and again and invited her in.
Tomorrow, I will give students online classes, don't sit down, you talk, I'll go back to prepare for class. Chai Xia put down the meat and turned to leave.
It was pitch black outside the tent. Chai Chengliang turned on the flashlight and escorted Chai Xia back to the tent.
When he said goodbye to Chai Chengliang, it was already zero hour. Suddenly, the silence of the settlement was broken by the cry of a child. Following the sound, the reporter walked into another tent.
The 6-year-old brother and the 5-year-old sister competed for the paintbrush, and the mother Li Zhilian hurriedly shouted: "It's been a day of painting, hurry up and go to bed." ”
The paintbrushes and albums sent by the school teacher the day before yesterday made the brothers and sisters happy all day. The "tent school" set up by the Gansu Provincial Forest Fire Brigade made them excited again.
Li Zhilian and her lover Chai Peng are working outside the home and haven't seen their children for almost a year. On the afternoon of the 21st, they returned home after several twists and turns.
Fortunately, the parents escaped with their children, otherwise the sky would have fallen. Li Zhilian choked up, and the mother-in-law on the side whispered, "Hey, the house is ruined, and the hard work of a lifetime is gone." ”

In the quiet of the night, a series of horns suddenly sounded outside the tent, startling a room of people. Walking out of the tent, the reporter vaguely saw several large trucks lined up slowly passing by the resettlement site.
After a few minutes of walking with the truck, I came to a clearing a few hundred meters away from the resettlement site. I saw that several excavators and cranes were shuttling back and forth, and the work was in full swing, or leveling the ground, or hoisting the prefabricated house. A crane lifts three white prefabricated houses from the truck to the ground.
In the afternoon, I heard that a prefabricated house was going to be built, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!A crowd at the scene said.
At about 2 o'clock, the person in charge of on-site construction said that in another 24 hours, about 300 prefabricated houses will be built for the affected people to move in.
Seeing the reporter coming, Shi Wanzhu, secretary of the party branch of Shiyuan Village, said, "Although the tents and prefabricated houses are temporary placements, the prefabricated houses are more spacious and comfortable. By the beginning of spring next year, the rebuilding of the homeland will definitely be settled. ”
