In this way, the driver Xiao Meng stayed in the car to watch the car, and Ning Junqi, Chu Tianqi, and Yang Daqing waded into the muddy river. They chose a wide area to cross the river, and the water in this section was shallow, about a foot deep. The water flow is also relatively gentle. Although the water flow was much calmer, there was still a momentum, coupled with the unevenness under the water, Ning Junqi still felt the difficulty of walking.

Chu Tianqi tried to walk as slowly as possible to take care of Ning Junqi's march, and that's it, she also walked very hard.

"Township Chief, why don't I pull you?" Chu Tianqi said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Whoever uses you, I'll do it myself. Ning Junqi declined his kindness. The reason why she did this was mainly because there was Yang Daqing next to her and Xiao Meng on the shore. If there were no acquaintances, maybe she would have taken Chu Tianqi's suggestion, anyway, she didn't dislike him at all now.

Halfway through, Ning Junqi really felt struggling, and was even in danger of falling. Chu Tianqi also noticed her situation, so he walked a little further back, so that when she had a situation, he could come to her rescue. Although his heart was very strong, Ning Junqi's little physical strength was insignificant in the face of the powerful natural forces.

"Township Chief, don't be reckless, I'll pull you. Chu Tianqi said sincerely.

Ning Junqi shook his head and said, "It's okay, I can do it." ”

"Township Chief, just let Township Chief Chu pull you, or you pull me. Yang Daqing said.

Ning Junqi really insisted on the hardship, and just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, so he said: "Okay, since Daqing said so, I can't refute his face." As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed the back of Chu Tianqi's shirt, and then grabbed the back of Yang Daqing's shirt.

Chu Tianqi was stunned at first, and then immediately laughed, and Yang Daqing also laughed.

Ning Junqi's face flushed: "What are you laughing at?

"It's a gesture for us, but for some, it's a send-off. Chu Tianqi sneered.

"Hmph, what a stinky. Ning Junqi snorted, and with a strain of his hands, the bodies of the two people in front of him shook. It's not that Ning Junqi is so energetic, but that the two people in front of her followed her strength, and they didn't expect her to come out like this.

The three of them crossed the river in such a strange position.

When he came to the river, Yang Daqing found a stone to sit down, took off the shoulder bag on his back, took out trousers and sandals from it, replaced the rain boots on his feet, and put on trousers. Then I took out a large plastic bag from my bag and put the rain boots inside.

Chu Tianqi didn't have any shoes to change, so he could only wear wet sandals and put his trousers on his legs. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Ning Junqi, he wanted to see how she, the female village chief, entered the village wearing rain boots that were over her knees. Ning Junqi naturally noticed his gaze, but she didn't blame him this time.

Ning Junqi also found a stone, took out a paper towel from the small bag he carried, wiped the soil on the stone, then sat on it, and took off the rain boots on his right foot with great difficulty.

A scene that surprised Chu Tianqi appeared, the moment the rain boots were taken off, he didn't see her smooth feet, but saw the plastic bag wrapped around her feet. After she gently untied the knots tied on the bag, the gray sneakers with mesh holes appeared in front of Chu Tianqi. Only then did he realize that it was no wonder that her feet could wear his No. 44 rain boots, it turned out that there were shoes in the shoes.

In Chu Tianqi's surprised gaze, Ning Junqi took off his two rain boots, quickly lowered his trouser legs, untied the placket he was tiding, and opened the headband to restore the "ponytail". Suddenly, the funny female man disappeared, and instead, a young and beautiful girl stood in front of her.

Seeing Ning Junqi's "big change", Yang Daqing was also surprised.

In this way, a delicate girl, a boy with a big bag in his hand, and a boy with wet feet all marched towards Gangou Village.

Along the way, some tall crops can be seen lodging. But to everyone's relief, the vegetables were not affected much, and there was no mud filling as worried. It's just that the criss-crossing canals are filled with a lot of debris and muddy water that has not seeped down. It appears that it was these canals, which are used for flood discharge and irrigation, that played a role in the critical moment that saved celery and other sparse vegetables.

The road into the village has been a slow uphill slope, and as I walked, I saw the newly built central primary school. Suddenly, everyone's spirits doubled, and they arrived at the school gate in a few steps.

Gangou Village Central Primary School is a newly selected piece of land in the east of the village, mainly to gather children from Gangou Village and the four surrounding villages to attend classes here. It is planned to be officially put into use on August 1, which is the day of the opening of the village primary school. Rural primary schools are different from urban ones in that they have both summer and autumn vacations, and the combined time of the two vacations is about the same as the summer vacation in the city.

The school gate was open, and a cacophony of human voices could be heard from inside the room near the door.

Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi glanced at each other and walked in.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they were recognized by the sharp-eyed villagers who came out of the house, and shouted into the house: "The branch secretary, the director, the township chief and the Chu township chief are here." ”

Chang Hai and the village branch secretary, who heard the shouting, came out of the house and walked quickly towards Ning Junqi and the others. Ning Junqi also took the lead in striding forward, stretched out his hands, and shook them with the branch secretary. Chu Tianqi, who followed closely, held Chang Hai's stretched out palm.

The branch secretary was not good at words, and only said, "Township chief, you are here." He let go of his hand and stepped back.

At this point, everyone had already shaken hands with each other.

"Director Chang, how is the situation?" asked Ning Junqi.

Chang Hai's eye sockets were deep, but his mental state was good, and he replied in a loud voice: "Thank you, the township chief, for coming to our village so soon." The rain was particularly heavy, but there were no casualties at the moment. ”

As a village director all the year round, Chang Hai naturally knows what the leader is most concerned about, so he first talked about the personnel as soon as he came up. Hearing Chang Hai's words, Ning Junqi and the other three all breathed a sigh of relief.

According to the preliminary statistics so far, a total of seven houses have collapsed, 30 to 40 dilapidated houses, more than 80 livestock have been missing or died, and property losses are being counted. The damage to grain crops and vegetables has not yet been counted, and there are ...... "Changhai made a relatively comprehensive report on the damage situation.

"Oh. Ning Junqi nodded solemnly and asked, "Are all the collapsed houses empty?" Because Chang Hai said that there were no casualties just now, she asked this question.

"Not all. Among them, Chang Erliang's three houses are inhabited, and his houses can be said to be the most dilapidated houses in the village. The remaining four houses were unoccupied. Chang Hai said, "In the first half of the night, before I went to sleep, I felt that the wind was blowing like it was going to rain heavily, so I specially instructed Chang Erliang to wake up and fall asleep. Then several of our village cadres went to the village committee to be on duty, and when the heavy rain came, we felt that the situation was not right, so we separately mobilized all the families who lived in dilapidated houses to the village committee for temporary accommodation. After the rain stopped today, I found that Chang Erliang's house had collapsed, and those houses had also become dilapidated houses. The village committee was occupied, so we temporarily went to the new school, where the telephone line was pulled two days ago to make it easier to communicate with the outside world. When it rained, the phone in the village was out of work, and the place where the disconnection was found just now has been repaired. ”

"Good, good, you're doing a great job. The township party committee and government thank you. Ning Junqi once again held Chang Hai's hand tightly and shook it vigorously. She understands very well that although it sounds like a trivial matter, if the village cadres slack off a little and the villagers are a little more careless, it will be a big problem.

Chang Hai continued: "There are more than 20 dilapidated houses, which are not inhabited for the time being, and they are all small houses and matching houses of each family. By the way, the three main rooms of the old school have also become dilapidated buildings. ”

Hearing this, Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi glanced at each other, secretly glad in their hearts that the new school building was built in time.

Ning Junqi and the others entered the house, and after greeting the people in the house, they came out again. Under the guidance of Chang Hai, Ning Junqi and the other three began to inspect the new school building, and Chang Hai continued to report on the damage and answer questions from Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi.

The new school building has two rows of eight rooms each, which will serve as classrooms, teachers' offices, and dormitories for teachers and students. The houses are all hard brick to the top, and the roof is covered with red tiles on the outside. The house has a concrete floor, a concrete wall, and a concrete roof. The walls about a meter above the ground are painted with green paint, and the south wall is equipped with aluminum alloy doors and windows. There was a blackboard on each of the east and west walls, and the rest of the walls and the top were scraped with white putty and painted. All the rooms are already bright and spotless, just waiting to be used. The house they are temporarily using today is used as a communication room and a guard room for the school.

Both rows of houses have flower beds in front of them, and the two flower beds in the front row are a little larger than the two in the back row. In the courtyard, the path is paved with pavement bricks, and the rest of the ground is the ground after being rammed.

Looking at the whole circle, whether it is a house, a courtyard, or a fence, the workmanship is very fine. Ning Junqi and Chu Tianqi were very satisfied, which showed that the craftsmen were attentive and the supervisors were dutiful.

After looking at the entire courtyard and house, Ning Junqi said to Chang Hai: "Director Chang, the tables and chairs donated by the company have been purchased and are preparing to be delivered. I just contacted the other party this morning and asked them to postpone it for a few more days, or the road will not be easy. They guarantee that all of them will arrive on the 30th of this month, and they will not delay the normal use of August 1. ”

"That's great, I still want to ask? Chang Hai said with some embarrassment.

Chu Tianqi smiled: "Old Chang, is there anything else you dare not ask?"

Chang Hai scratched his head embarrassedly.
