It was late at night, and the Lin family's family meeting was still going on, but it was still pouring rain outside the window. Ｘ

Lin Cheng was teaching his father and second uncle face-to-face, but listening to the sound of rain outside the window, he paused abruptly, as if he remembered something important.

By the way, it's the 98 flood!

It is now the end of July, and the people of the whole country are carrying out vigorous rescue and disaster relief activities at this time.

For the great flood that broke out in the summer of 1998, all Chinese born after the 70s and 80s should have a very deep impression of this flood.

The catastrophic floods of 1998, including those on the Yangtze River, the Nenjiang River, and the Songhua River, were a catastrophic flood with a particularly wide impact, a particularly long duration, and a particularly serious flood disaster.

Among them, the Yangtze River flood is one of the two major floods in the 20th century, following the two floods in 1931 and 1954, and the floods of the Nenjiang and Songhua rivers are also the most serious basin-wide floods in 150 years.

According to preliminary statistics, a total of 29 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across the country, including the four hardest-hit provinces of Jiangxi, southern Hunan, northern Hunan and Longjiang, have suffered floods of varying degrees, with an area of 318 million mu affected, 196 million mu affected, 223 million people affected, 4,150 deaths, 6.85 million collapsed houses, and direct economic losses of 166 billion yuan.

However, because Lin Cheng is a native of eastern Guangdong, although the water level in eastern Guangdong is a bit deep this year, except for a major flood disaster in western Guizhou Province, there has been no major flood in eastern Guangdong Province, so Lin Cheng was not impressed in his previous life.

But on the TV news, since the beginning of July, whether it is CCTV, Mango TV, or other local satellite TV, almost all TV has been filled with floods, as well as news images of officials, PLA soldiers, and ordinary people across the country fighting the disaster.

For the 98 flood, Lin Cheng was most impressed by the bursting of the river embankment on August 7, and the famous "tofu scum project" that shook the world with the iron fist.

The Yangtze River is an important transportation hub in East China, and has been listed by the National Defense General as one of the key points of the Yangtze River flood control. However, at 1:20 p.m. on August 7, 1998, a catastrophe suddenly struck the river embankment.

After hearing the news of the bursting of the embankment on the river, the iron-fisted Shoufu, who was inspecting the rescue and disaster relief activities in Jiangxi Province, angrily rebuked the relevant personnel and said: Didn't you say that it was impregnable? Who knew that there was "tofu scum" in the embankment!

Such a project should be investigated from the root, and the personnel responsible for design, construction, and supervision should be traced. Human life is a matter of heaven, a century-old plan. The great cause of thousands of years has actually come up with such a "tofu scum" project and a "bastard" project. How did you get to this point?

Later, the government dispatched a large number of PLA soldiers and brought a large ship loaded with 3,000 tons of coal, which sank into the breach with the coal, which blocked the breach.

For this catastrophic flood, Lin Cheng, as a reborn, naturally can't sit idly by, and he has just been praised as a national hero and the pride of China by the people of the whole country, no matter what, he must do his part.

"Cheng Zai, why don't you speak? I and your second uncle are listening carefully. Lin Furong saw that Lin Cheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and said suspiciously.

Lin Cheng said in a deep voice: "Dad, mother, second uncle, second aunt, have you been watching TV news a lot recently? Is it that floods across the country have broken out too frequently in the past month?"

Lin Furong nodded and said: "Listening to what you say, this year's flood disaster is indeed a bit extraordinary, although we have not had any major floods in eastern Guangdong, but there are flood news everywhere in the country. ”

The old mother, second uncle, and second aunt also nodded again and again when they heard this, and this year's flood disaster is indeed more serious.

Lin Cheng continued: "Yes, in May last year, the strongest El Niño event occurred in this century, which reached its peak at the end of the year and basically ended in June this year.

According to the analysis of authoritative data, in the second year of each El Niño event, there will always be a major flood in the whole basin in China. I think this year's floods will be particularly severe.

Mom, in February this year, I instructed the supermarket group's warehousing company to stock up as much as possible on flood emergency supplies, such as rain gear, life jackets, tents, sleeping bags, drinking water, food, lifebuoys, medicines, flashlights, backpacks and other materials.

Zhu Xueqin replied: "It turns out that you are stockpiling these materials to deal with the floods in this year's flood season, although the management of the storage company didn't understand why to reserve these materials at first, but they didn't dare to disobey the order, and they still stockpiled the materials according to your requirements." ”

Lin Cheng was overjoyed and said solemnly: "That's good, parents, second uncle and second aunt, our Lin family has developed with the policy of reform and opening up, and the people have praised me as a national hero and the pride of China, and I also won the May Fourth Youth Medal."

My father was named a model worker and was elected as a deputy to the National People's Congress; my mother was named a 38 Red Flag Bearer and was also elected as a member of the Political Shoes Committee; and my second uncle was also elected as a deputy to the People's Congress of Eastern Guangdong.

The country has given our Lin family such a great honor, and in the face of this once-in-a-century catastrophic flood in the country, our Lin family must not stand idly by.

Mom, you immediately order the storage company to prepare a big truck and donate all the flood fighting materials stored by our company to the flood fighting and rescue department.

In addition, Wanjiale Supermarket Group and logistics companies fully cooperated with this donation activity, and must hand over the materials to the PLA soldiers who fought against the flood and rescued.

In addition, I will personally serve as the commander-in-chief, and select about 1,000 volunteers from the entire Lin Group to rush to the disaster area to participate in flood relief and relief activities.

Of course, we must first state that this selection is carried out on a voluntary basis and that it is not mandatory for employees to participate, and in addition, we must tell employees in advance that participating in this event will be life-threatening and must be carefully considered.

Selection conditions: good health, male, age: between 20 and 30 years old, skills: able to drive, swim, party members and league members are preferred. ”

"Good!"

As soon as Lin Cheng's voice fell, Lin Furong, who had been a soldier and fought for the country's bloody battle on the battlefield in Vietnam, immediately stood up and applauded loudly.

He said loudly: "Cheng Zai, you said very well! Without the policies and honors given by the state, our Lin family would not be able to reach this point today. I will personally drive to the disaster area to direct the volunteers of the Lin Group to assist the officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army in participating in flood fighting, emergency rescue and disaster relief activities. ”

"No!" Lin Cheng didn't expect that his father was still as enthusiastic as a young man in his forties, and he actually grabbed Lin Cheng's position as commander-in-chief.

"Dad, you are old and not as energetic as before, so let's work with my mother to do a good job of logistics for me, as for the commander-in-chief of this flood relief volunteer, I will still be the commander-in-chief.

Moreover, I have just been praised by the common people as a national hero and the pride of China
