Chapter 1045: Current Situation of Danzhou
Danzhou!
Suo Longqi, who had just gotten off the car, breathed in the somewhat turbid air. The current situation in Danzhou belongs to an important stage of post-disaster reconstruction. Many tasks require a lot of manpower and material resources. This is a very heavy burden for a small city like Danzhou that is not well developed. Fortunately, many donations have come in one after another. Those who can contribute money and those who can contribute labor have contributed labor. Many people who outsourced engineering machinery have hired a group of experienced masters, driving various excavators, bulldozers, forklifts, and muck trucks from all over the country to accept unified deployment.

The current situation is still optimistic. Suo Longqi has seen no less than ten excavators along the way, all pulled by trailers, and this is still on the road. The entire Danzhou Bridge is also under repair.
More importantly, the disaster-stricken people in Danzhou are what Suo Longqi wants to focus on this time.
Suo Longqi, who had just got off the car, looked helplessly at the burden beside him. Tang Lan, who had been carsick since he got on the car, became even more helpless.
To put it bluntly, Tang Lan insisted on coming here, but she didn't expect the road to be so bumpy.
Tang Lan's face was a little pale, and Suo Longqi had no choice but to find a place to stay first.
The two of them went directly to a hotel that looked well decorated. This hotel had obviously been rebuilt and renovated, and it was hard to see how serious the water had been soaked. Moreover, the terrain here was relatively high, and the flood at that time did not have a big impact on this place.
After simply registering his identity information, Tang Lan went to the room to rest, and Suo Longqi took the time to start asking for news.
"Boss, this flood must have cost a lot of money, right?"
The boss was a middle-aged man with a beer belly. He was sitting at the front desk reading a book. When he heard Suo Longqi's words, he sighed.
"I'm lucky here. As you can see, I can reopen now. I chose this high-lying place to build a hotel. Although there are not many guests at ordinary times and it is far from the city center, the income has always been low, but it helped a lot when the flood happened. Fortunately, the terrain is high, otherwise it would be the same as those hotels in the city, and many of them would go bankrupt..."
Suo Longqi also sighed slowly. Although there are no man-made disasters these days, natural disasters are enough for ordinary people to drink a pot. This is the way the world is, and no one can do anything about it...
"Boss, which place is the worst hit?"
The boss put down the book in his hand, sighed, and said: "Of course it's the shantytowns, and near the old city. So many living people were buried alive. Now it's almost done, but there are still more than a hundred people who have lost contact, and even the bodies can't be found!"
Shantytowns and old city?
It seems that these two places are the focus. After a brief chat with the boss again, Suo Longqi has found the target. The next focus should be on the shantytowns.
According to the boss, some children lost their relatives in the flood and are now placed in welfare homes in the city.
Then let's go to the welfare home. As for the establishment of a branch of the foundation, we still have to discuss it with Weizi. After all, Weizi is Li Yi's brother and one of his most capable assistants. The home appliance city here is mainly responsible for Weizi. If a branch of the foundation is established, Weizi will probably take up the responsibility in the future when I am not there.
Suo Longqi has met Weizi once, so he is not unfamiliar with him.
However, thinking that Tang Lan is still resting now, it seems that I have to collect as much information as possible first.
It didn't take long. At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Lan's condition had been adjusted. After a nap, she felt much better. As soon as she went out, she saw Suo Longqi carrying a bag and just walked to the door of her room.
"Awake?
How do you feel?"
Tang Lan nodded and said, "Much better. You just came up from downstairs?"
Suo Longqi had been talking to the boss downstairs. During this time, the two of them went out for a meal together. From the boss, Suo Longqi got a lot of useful information, at least he was not in the dark.
"I just talked to the boss for a while. It happened that you woke up. Let's discuss it together!"
Tang Lan nodded and followed Suo Longqi to his room.
...
Half an hour later, Tang Lan and Suo Longqi had set off, and their destination was the Danzhou City Welfare House.
This welfare house actually has a history of many years. For more than 20 years, it has always taken in some children who have lost their parents, and some left-behind children. The director of the welfare house has changed twice. The earliest director who founded the welfare house has been dead for more than ten years.
There are about 70 children in the welfare house now, among which more than 30 have lost their parents, and more than half of them have just lost their relatives because of this flood.
Perhaps some distant relatives will come to take these poor children away, but so far, the welfare house and the police station have not been able to contact other relatives of the children.
What this means is actually self-evident.
It is impossible that all the children have no other relatives. The only explanation is that these relatives are also unable to take the responsibility of raising the children, which means that these children have been abandoned.
When Suo Longqi knocked on the door of the welfare home, the children in the yard were eating. The canteen is not a big place, about 100 square meters. It is impossible for more than 70 children to eat here. Generally, they eat separately, with the younger children eating first and the older children waiting a little.
The economic situation of the welfare home itself is not very good, and the flood has made it worse. The children live in one room with six people. Some children are still receiving treatment in the hospital. Although the hospital has reduced part of the treatment costs, the rest of the money still has to be borne by the welfare home.
Suo Longqi saw seven or eight employees of the welfare home. The faces of the employees were full of fatigue, but they still had a warm smile on their faces to the children. These children were like their own children.
There were few male employees, and there were more female employees.
The one who opened the door for Suo Longqi and Tang Lan was an old man who looked to be in his sixties, with white hair and a very tired look.
"You are..."
Suo Longqi smiled and said, "Hello, we are from Jiangnan Charity Foundation. Is the dean here?"
Jiangnan Charity Foundation, this is the name Li Yi gave to the foundation.
