The night was deep and frozen. In order to help the hardest-hit rural areas and further improve the resettlement environment for the masses, large trucks from all over the country, loaded with prefabricated houses, marched along the rugged mountain roads to various villages.
Many people are worried that some sections of rural roads in the earthquake area are narrow, like a long queue of convoys, whether it is difficult to get the wrong car and whether the traffic is not smoothThe reporter drove along the mountain road and found many trucks loaded with prefabricated houses parked on the side of the road.

However, when I arrived at Liugou Village, Liugou Township, Jishishan County, my hanging heart finally relaxed. The rumbling sound came from the side of the road, and as far as the eye could see, under the lights, the staff in orange clothes held shovels to clear the dirt mounds on the road, and the excavator next to them stretched out its mechanical arm to dig out the dirt mountain at the corner.
The road can be widened tonight, and the prefabricated house can be transported in. Wu Baogang, who was working on the site, told reporters that their commando team composed of 30 retired soldiers came from the Dingxi Highway Development Center in Gansu Province. At 16 o'clock on the 24th, after the arrival of large machinery and equipment, they repaired the collapsed roadbed and cleaned the road surface, while checking the road condition and widening the road surface.
Unfamiliar geographical environment, cold weather, Dingxi Highway Development Center Party Secretary Zhang Zhengguo commanded the construction of light vehicles familiar with the road, "open the road in the mountains, build bridges in the water, we do this." The center deployed excavators, loaders and other 10 large equipment to participate in the rural road hazard widening work, today visited 4 villages, initially found that 4 roads need to be widened, tomorrow will continue to visit 5 villages, not only from a professional point of view to judge the need to widen the road, but also fully solicit the actual needs of the villages, to help them solve difficulties.
During the interview, An Yunzhi, president of Liugou Village No. 9, rushed here with a boiling water bottle and some instant noodles. "It's so hard for them, it's such a cold day, they think they can stutter and drink hot water. An Yunzhi said that the houses in the club have basically collapsed, and they all live in tents and have stoves for heating, but what they are most looking forward to is to live in a prefabricated house as soon as possible and be practical.

After the road is widened, the prefabricated houses can be transported to the resettlement site not far away, and the people of Liugou Village 9 will be able to move in immediately.
During the day, the construction affects the transportation of materials, and the highway department uses the night time to operate. Wu Xiaohu, director of the Highway Management Division of the Gansu Provincial Department of Transportation, said that the surrounding cities and prefectures have been organized to develop the highway development center and provincial transportation enterprises to participate in the rural road hazard widening work to ensure that the masses can move into the prefabricated house as soon as possible.
After delivering the materials, An Yunzhi did not leave, but continued to stick to the site with the construction personnel. Originally, two shifts were scheduled for construction, and the commuter bus parked on the side was used as a rest, but after working for more than six hours in a row, Zhang Zhengguo and his colleagues continued to work.
The flickering bonfire on the side of the road dispelled a little chill, and the friendship of solidarity and mutual assistance warmed people's hearts.
