"The moment I saw the house collapse, I didn't have the faith to live."
In the small courtyard of Pu Jincai, a villager of the four communities of Chenjia Village, Dahejia Town, he revealed his heart to reporters. It was a wooden house that he and his wife had worked hard for 13 years to buy bit by bit, but it was basically reduced to rubble in the earthquake.
Chenjia Village is one of the villages severely affected by the 6.2 magnitude earthquake in Jishi Mountain. After the earthquake, looking at the ruins everywhere in the village every day, Pu Jincai, a seven-foot man, also fell into deep sadness and fear. Living in a temporary settlement, he did not dare to go out in the evening, because his heart became heavier when he saw the sad faces of his neighbors and the bleak twilight of his former home.
"My daughter had a little cold that day, and I thought that the north room would be warmer, so I let her sleep with my wife and youngest son, and I slept in the west room after work. When the earthquake struck, I got up from the kang and ran to the north room to call them, the side door had been blocked by the falling ceiling and could not be opened, I had no time to be afraid, and I was bent on pulling my wife and a pair of children out. The north house fell, but fortunately, my wife and children were safe. ”
For a long time, Pu Jin was desperate. But looking at a pair of well-behaved and sensible children and a virtuous and gentle wife, he silently cheered himself up in his heart, even if it was for this family, he had to have the courage to do it again.
"I wanted to sell the new car I bought before the earthquake so that I could have some money to repair the house. Later, the village cadres came to the resettlement site to explain the policy, saying that the state would give us subsidies and interest-free loans. Hearing this, my wife and I gradually gained confidence and became the first people in the village to start rebuilding the house. ”
Pu Jincai's new house started construction in March and moved in at the end of August. The new house of 160 square meters cost more than 300,000 yuan, in addition to the government subsidy of 75,000 yuan and an interest-free loan of 50,000 yuan, he also received financial support from the company.
"I have been working in Xueyuan Trading Co., Ltd. in Dahejia Town for 8 years, and I am usually quite serious, and I am worried about the company as my own home, so when I was repairing the house, the boss gave me a lot of help."
Now Pu Jincai is full of confidence in life. This stems from the good policies of the party and the government, from the company's infinite care for him, and more importantly, he is the pillar of the family, and he can't fall.
"I never thought I would live in such a nice house, spacious, bright, clean and tidy, and you can see the small flowers in the yard when you push the window. Now, after work, I water the flowers and go up to the roof to feed the more than 20 ornamental chickens, which is very content. ”
The new house was lived, and the clothes that I had been thinking about were also pasted. For Pu Jincai, it is not only the house that is rebuilt, but also the hope and confidence for a better life.
