Time flies so fast, I didn't expect that 16 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and now it is the summer of 1998.

In the summer of this year, the sky was indeed not beautiful, and there was lightning and thunder all day long, and it was a stormy and rainy style, only to see the violent storm in front of me for more than two months.

It seems that this storm is going to rain endlessly, and it is falling straight to the lake overflowing, and everywhere is the appearance of a vast ocean, and the current scene is not only water or water, but also the whole earth has become a world of water.

What's even more hateful is that the fierce Yangtze River water only rises and does not fall, more than two months of violent storms, but the water level of the Yangtze River soars to the embankment on both sides of the river, this time it can be said that the Yangtze River has ushered in a major flood that has not been encountered in 40 years, which is really rare.

As a result, the embankments on both sides of the river bank will also be in an emergency, because the flood that continues to rise will soon overflow the embankments on both banks, which will cause the lives and property of the villagers to suffer. Therefore, governments at all levels, from the central to the local level, can be said to have grasped flood prevention at all levels, and the current upsurge of flood prevention has risen to an unprecedented height.

The villagers on both sides of the Yangtze River were even more fearless for their own vital interests, but the result was that men, women, and children went into battle together, and everyone braved the storm and carried them on their shoulders, fighting day and night on the front line of flood fighting and rescue. At the moment, the villagers can be said to be high-spirited, and the slogan they put forward is: The water rises and the embankment rises, and the embankment is broken!

Through the hard work of the villagers, they stuck to the embankment day and night, and thankfully, the Yangtze River embankment was finally saved, and it was not really broken or swallowed by the flood.

In this way, the safety of the villagers' lives and property has been guaranteed, and they have not been seriously harmed. Despite this, the violent storms of the past two months have caused the lake to swell sharply in the embankment, and as a result, a large amount of land and houses have been inundated.

In other words, most of the streets of the entire town of Huangqikou will be almost immersed in the waterlogged lake, and the scene is indeed terrifying. The few families with a little higher terrain were lucky that their houses were not flooded by the waterlogged lake. Those who are a little lower are doomed, because the merciless waterlogging of the lake is about to burrow into their homes. What's even worse is that those low-terrain streets are even worse, and they are submerged to a depth of more than two meters.

The main reason for this waterlogging is that the pumps in the floodwater stations are too small, because the small pumps can only meet the discharge capacity of a normal year, and in a year like this year, it will not help.

In the face of such a grim situation, the villagers really felt that there was nothing they could do, and they could only watch the lake formed by the waterlogging continue to rise, and as a result, it simply flooded such a lovely home.

Although the villagers feel very helpless, they still have to actively respond to the reality, and they must protect their lives and property. In order to continue to survive, everyone had to move from the first floor to the second floor as the water of the waterlogged lake rose, and they had to continue to live.

As a result, those buildings with more than two floors continue to be occupied upstairs and still do not want to relocate. It's just that these houses have become small islands, which ruthlessly isolate the villagers, and there is no opportunity to communicate with each other at all.

Pity those who have short houses, or whose houses are not structurally stable, there is really no way to continue to live at home at the moment, and they can only bring some relatively practical necessities, that is, clothing and food, or quickly abandon the house and flee for their lives, otherwise the house will collapse and people will be gone.

The villagers are also smart enough, and they actually fled to the high ground under the bent back camphor with their families, and set up a tent or something temporarily, as long as they can barely shelter from the wind and rain temporarily, so as to survive the difficulties of waterlogging. As soon as the difficulties are over, the villagers can continue to go home to live and work in peace.

From this point of view, the waterlogging phenomenon in Huangqikou Town is not optimistic, and then it is constantly deteriorating, which greatly affects the travel of the villagers, and it is indeed a great inconvenience to the villagers, and even the daily necessities such as oil, salt, firewood and rice cannot be guaranteed

In such a harsh environment, those who own small boats are lucky, and they can go out for a walk in the small boat at any time, or buy some daily necessities to come back, so as not to let the waterlogged lake trap people here.

It's just that most of the people who don't have a boat are in trouble, so they can only hide at home and can't go out, even if they are troublesome people to help bring some things back, it is not a long-term solution. Therefore, the villagers are indeed irritated and uneasy about the way of life of sitting in the well and watching the sky, but in the face of such a practical problem, what can be done to solve it?

After more than two months of violent storms, the sky finally cleared, and it was exceptionally refreshing, and the long-lost sunlight showed its face from the clouds. The beams of sunlight that seem warm are hot on people's bodies, which unceremoniously dispels the mildew in the yin.

The villagers did feel much better when they saw the long-lost sunshine, and they opened their windows to look at each other through the flood, or they were very excited to greet each other, or they chatted with Lala at home, so as to relieve their depressed mood!

At this moment, everyone hopes to be able to spit out all the depression in their hearts without reservation, because only in this way can people feel refreshed and comfortable!

Despite this, the villagers are still a little unhappy, because everyone is still facing the rising waterlogging, if it is not solved, the difficulty of travel is still a heart disease.

After a long time, the villagers could not just sit idly by in the face of the waterlogged lake that could not be returned! Thinking of this, the villagers also changed their methods and made use of their own bamboo and wood and other ready-made materials, and tentatively made a temporary wooden raft as a temporary substitute for transportation.

Don't say it, it is much more convenient for the villagers to have such a small wooden row, which can indeed play a decisive role in the difficult problem of travel at home.

As long as there is such a small wooden chop, whatever daily necessities are needed at home, you can go out and buy some back with the small wooden chop, at least to solve the current dilemma. The shapes and sizes of the small wooden rafts are not equal in shape, but they are made according to their own material conditions, so the styles of those small wooden rafts have become diverse.

Now that they have a small wooden steak, the villagers can't stay upstairs, and they can go out shopping with the small wooden steak anytime and anywhere, or go out to play or something. In this way, everyone feels that it is much stronger and more refreshing than staying on the second floor of that isolated island.

However, this kind of small wooden raft also has a disadvantage, that is, there is a huge potential safety hazard, because the wooden raft is small, the water is deep, and the stability performance is also very poor. Therefore, the villagers must be especially cautious when using this kind of small wooden raft, otherwise their lives will be in danger.

Faced with the attraction of advantages, Luo Lin also made a small wooden steak with his own hands. For the sake of safety, his small wooden raft is larger than that of ordinary people, and it is basically no problem to sit on three or four people to travel. He also installed a double sculls on the back of the small wooden raft, which can be used to support and row, which is also the difference between his small wooden raft and others.

In this way, Luo Lin can also take Wang Xianger and her daughter to take her brother out shopping, or go out to visit the house or something. When they have nothing to do, they can also use the small wooden raft as a tourist boat, so that they can enjoy the waterlogged streets everywhere, which means that this kind of viewing is really a special scenery.

It's just that Luo Lin still doesn't have time to go out for a leisurely trip, and he is still focused on business, because now Luo Lin is already the chairman of the Benjizhang Building Materials Group.

In the past 16 years, in addition to the previous lime factory, Luo Lin also founded a quarry, a crushing stone factory, a prefabricated panel factory, a red brick factory, etc., and these five factories merged to become the largest private enterprise in the local area. Right now, despite the flooding, he's busy.

Luo Lin's home was also flooded by waterlogging more than a meter deep, and the whole family lived on the second floor, but now people and animals live together, and that feeling is really uncomfortable.

Despite this, this is a special period after all, and it must be treated with a special mentality, because there is really no way at the moment.

Especially that young lady-like Luo Daidi, she always wants to go to the shore to play every day, but her father has no time, and now her mother can only send her out to play. Therefore, their mother and daughter often hold a small wooden raft and shuttle through the waterlogged streets of Huangqikou Town.

Luo Lin has something to do today and has to go to Nanjing on a business trip, mainly to go to Xiangyun Company to verify the demand for lime, and if necessary, increase the intensity of adjustment.

In this way, it is very happy for the baby daughter Luo with her brother, because the baby daughter with her brother is already sixteen years old, Luo Lin really did not let go of his hand, and accompanied the baby daughter is a good tour, because in terms of time, the father and daughter can't get together at all.

Today is really a coincidence, because the baby daughter has been on summer vacation, Luo Lin readily agreed to the baby daughter's request, and decided to accompany their mother and daughter to the stalls on the shore on today's business trip, and then bring some daily necessities back by the way, which can also be said to be the best of both worlds.
