During the 98 flood fighting and rescue period, there are many stories that can be sung and cried, and we will tell the story of a rich second generation.

Li Xiangqun's father was in the clothing business, and when others still dreamed of becoming a 10,000 yuan household, their family's annual income was already hundreds of thousands. But Li Xiangqun did not wait for death, did not learn to do business, he worshipped heroes, and dreamed of being a member of the People's Liberation Army.

After graduating from high school, Li Xiangqun went to join the army, but was not selected due to physical problems.

In order to exercise his body, Li Xiangqun actually ran to become a militiaman, and after a year of training, he finally got his wish and enlisted in the army with honor.

When he first joined the army, Li Xiangqun's first reaction when he saw the leader was not to salute, but to smoke. He spends lavishly, eats hundreds of yuan a meal, and has a particularly strong addiction to smoking, smoking at least two packs of cigarettes a year.

The army is a melting pot, Li Xiangqun quickly quit smoking, spending less than 10 yuan a month, and in order to save phone bills, he even chose to write letters to his family.

In the 98 flood, Li Xiangqun rushed to the disaster area with the troops, and soaked in the water with sandbags all day, his shoulders were worn and bleeding, and his feet were cut out with a 4-centimeter-long hole. He fainted with a fever and was sent to a local hospital, and when he woke up, he went to the front line again, and the instructor roared: "You kid don't want to die!" Li Xiangqun said: "The whole regiment is up, and I can't lie down in the hospital." ”

After fighting for 16 days in a row, Li Xiangqun had a high fever and was seriously overdrawn.

His comrades-in-arms advised him to rest, but Li Xiangqun gritted his teeth and insisted, and finally fainted on the embankment, bleeding from his nostrils. After waking up and resting for a few minutes, Li Xiangqun began to carry sandbags again, carrying more than 20 bags in a row, and passed out with blood in his mouth.

Li Xiangqun died in this way, only 20 years old, and the party age was 8 days.

Li Xiangqun's parents rushed to hear the news, and in addition to grief, they decided to complete their son's unfinished business. They put aside their business, the father wore his son's military uniform and walked up to the embankment to carry sandbags, and the mother washed and cooked for the soldiers until the flood relief was over.

……

At the beginning of July, it was the time of the college entrance examination.

As the disaster situation in the country became more and more serious, Xifeng Company sent an internal open letter to all employees, announcing the major decision to donate pure water to the disaster area and set up water supply points, and called on employees to actively sign up to volunteer.

The volunteer does nothing else to deliver pure water to the flood frontline and rotates between the water supply points.

Volunteers do not have additional salaries, which are equivalent to paid vacations, and they must bring their own dry food, so as not to increase the burden on the fighters and people in the disaster area.

Such a thankless thing, Yang Xin originally thought that few people signed up, but the number of applicants within three days was more than 1,800. You must know that at this time, the flood has not spread to the whole country, and the flood is only flooding in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and the total number of employees of Xifeng Company in these cities is only a few thousand.

There are even 101 community partners who are not regular employees of Xifeng, but are hired to help deliver products. When they volunteer, they leave their jobs behind, and instead of getting paid, they have to pay for their own work.

Yang Xin has been in charge of Xifeng for several years, and his personality has become more and more stable. He first organized the registered workers to go to the experience, and then divided these people into three parts: one part of them took turns on duty at the water supply point, some part was responsible for transportation tasks, and some part was responsible for liaising with the local government and the army (these were all company cadres).

In general, the principle of proximity is followed, and employees volunteer in their respective areas.

Due to the large amount of funds involved, Yang Xin also dispatched an inspection team from the headquarters to strictly prevent people from taking advantage of the opportunity of disaster relief to enrich their own pockets, and at the same time to collect specific implementation measures in various localities.

Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and sees the hearts of the people over time, in fact, this is a good opportunity to inspect the employees.

Contacting local authorities and disaster relief forces, setting up water points, and carrying out donation missions are all very testing of an individual's ability to execute, and a little carelessness can make a mess. Those who do these things are cadres of branches around the country, and if they are done in an orderly manner, they will definitely be given priority to promotion and salary increase in the future. If it makes a mess, there will be no punishment, but its ability evaluation will definitely be discounted.

As for the ordinary employees who sign up to be volunteers, even if they fail the physical examination, they must be registered and given some care at some time - morality is the most valuable, and it is a good thing for the company to have more such employees.

By the time these arrangements were made, half a month had passed, and the result was laughable: the flood had receded.

But it is not in vain, after all, it will take time for the waterworks and wells in the disaster area to be restored to use, and Xifeng pure water is being sent out in a steady stream.

Before everyone could catch their breath, the water level in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River rose rapidly, and the monitoring data of hydrological stations in many places reached the highest water level in history.

……

Jiangcheng.

Zhang Cheng is a veteran reporter of the Yangtze Daily, in his 40s this year, who has been in this business for more than 20 years, and he was even hired by the Xinhua News Agency as a local special correspondent.

Some time ago, Zhang Cheng was on the front line of flood fighting, and after a torrential rain, he had a fever of 40 degrees, so he lay at home and rested for several days.

The wife came back from buying vegetables and said, "The price of the vegetable market has risen again." ”

"Everywhere there is a disaster, there will definitely be a price increase. Zhang Cheng was lying on the sofa watching TV.

The wife added: "A notice has been posted downstairs that the water supply will be intermittently from tomorrow, saying that another waterworks will be flooded. You remember to keep two buckets of water in store every day, and I might forget it when I'm busy with work. ”

Zhang Cheng said: "I know." ”

The wife put down the vegetable basket and glanced at the water dispenser: "Hey, the one who delivered the pure water hasn't come yet?" ”

"Maybe the pure water plant was also flooded. Zhang Cheng guessed.

"Knock knock!"

The wife quickly ran to open the door, saw a water delivery worker in his 50s standing outside, and immediately complained: "I called at noon, why did I only deliver it now?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late. "The water delivery worker carries the bottled water to the water dispenser and places it.

The wife admonished: "Next time I do this, I won't order your Xifeng pure water." ”

The water delivery worker took out a printed letter and said: "During the flood, each customer is limited to two barrels per month, please understand." ”

"Hey, that's strange enough," his wife laughed, "because of the flood, we are afraid that there will be a problem with the tap water, so we have to buy more of your pure water." What are you doing to limit purchases?"

The water delivery worker said: "This is the company's decision, and I can't be the master, you can read this letter first." ”

When my wife opened the letter, she wrote: "To the dear users of Xifeng bottled pure water: thank you for your long-term support to the company, and thank you for your trust in Xifeng pure water." Due to the severity of the disaster and the shortage of water supply, the company urgently dispatched pure water to donate to the disaster area, and set up free water supply points in areas with difficulty in drinking water. In order to ensure that the people in the disaster area and the flood war can drink safe water, each customer can only buy two barrels of Xifeng pure water per month until the end of the flood, please understand......"

After reading the letter, his wife immediately changed her smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Master, are you thirsty? I'll make you a cup of tea, drink it and then leave. ”

"No, no, I'm going to send the next one. The water delivery man smiled and left.

Zhang Cheng asked: "Xifeng's pure water plant was also flooded?"

"Look at this," the wife handed the letter over, "Xifeng's water is really good, I will only buy this brand in the future." ”

Zhang Cheng was surprised after reading the letter: "Xifeng does such good people and good deeds, but I haven't heard them publicize." ”

The wife said: "People are sincere in disaster relief, not for advertising. ”

"Good people and good deeds should be publicized," Zhang Cheng said, "I'll go to an interview tomorrow and help Xifeng write a report." ”

"You're not fully healed. The wife said.

Zhang Cheng smiled: "It's okay, I don't have a fever anymore." ”
