Chapter 728: No casualties
The stones and cement have arrived, and the time has consumed a day, and I checked the latest weather forecast with peace of mind, as well as the actual situation in Mengjiatun, and boldly predicted that in two days, there will be heavy rain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
They have to race for time, yes, against God!
The village chief Meng held a mobilization meeting of the whole village, and as long as they could still move, they would go to the embankment, and the other elderly would cook at home.
Children in the first grade are too young to pee on their own at school and read their writing homework.
There are also eight children in the fifth grade who are going to sprint for the graduation exam, and they are still working on the revision materials that they bought with peace of mind at school, and the other children in the second and fourth grades have also gone to the dam to help.
It doesn't matter if the person is small, even if you pick a pound of sand and move two bricks, ten people are twenty bricks.
Unity is strength!
The old principal stayed at the school to take care of the children, and Zhang Hui also went to the dam with Anxin.
There are also people in the village who want to be lazy and complain, but in the end, they found that even the old village chief was so old that he personally went into battle, and even the new teacher An, such a beautiful and petite girl, all worked together, and the strength was not smaller than them, and the work was not less than them, so they were a little ashamed, and they took the initiative to find a job to do without waiting for anyone to urge.
Anxin also inspects the areas that have been repaired to ensure the quality, and only if it is strong enough to withstand the impact of flooding.
All newly repaired and reinforced areas should be covered with straw for the time being.
Cement takes time to set.
The work of transporting straw was left to women, children, and even some elderly people on their own initiative.
It was really a mobilization of the whole village, and the scene was enthusiastic.
For two days and two nights, the embankment was reinforced to a height of more than two meters, but this was not enough, according to the information that Anxin saw in the dream system, the flood was the largest in history, and the water rose to more than eight meters high in the later period of the rain.
Before it was reinforced, the water in the levee was flush with the levee, and it had to be strengthened at least 10 meters before there was any hope of surviving the crisis.
It's just that the embankment line is too long, and most of the young and strong labor force in Mengjiatun have gone out to work, and the surplus labor force in the village is too small.
Sure enough, on the morning of the third day, the sky was cloudy and the thunder was faint, and the experienced old man, looking at the wet ground and the ants running quickly, knew that a heavy rain was coming.
Village Chief Meng found Anxin, who was urging Meng Xiaopeng to write his homework, and asked, "Teacher An, are we going back today?" ”
"Go, we must repair the levee before the flood comes."
"Okay, I'll go and inform them right away."
The rain fell in an instant.
The wind also became stronger.
Umbrella, I can't hit it at all!
People will be swept away!
It's just that it's hot now, and the rain is falling on you, and it's not too cold.
Everyone simply threw away the umbrella and went directly to the dam wearing coats or raincoats, but it didn't take long for them to get soaked.
"Village Chief, today's wind and rain are too strong, let the children not come out, and review their homework at home. In addition, the aunts and daughters should not go up to the dam, and at home, you should quickly turn your own rice into rice, wrap it in oilcloth, and find a way to send it to a cave higher on the mountain for storage. ”
Village Chief Meng wiped the rain from his face and said with a serious face: "Teacher Xiao An, are you afraid that this dam will not be able to stop the flood?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, although the upper layers are newly reinforced by us, but the bottom is all dirt, in case the water is too strong, and the bottom is washed out of the gap, the villagers in the downstream will be affected, and when the food is damp, everyone will even have a problem eating."
Village Chief Meng thought about it and felt that what she said made sense, so he immediately ordered.
In the past, some people said that peace of mind was a lie, but today the heavy rain came as scheduled, and they all obeyed her.
In addition, since Anxin came to Mengjiatun, everything she has done is for their good, and they admire her more and more in their hearts.
Anxin also let Zhang Hui run away, go to the school and tell the old principal, quickly pack up the important materials in the school, and put them in the cave on the mountain.
Women are clever enough to think of two, so some of them not only send their food to the cave in the mountains, but also carry their clothes, important things, and even pots and pans, as if they were moving.
When they finished their belongings, they went to school to help the teachers and the children.
Another three days passed, the sky seemed to be missing, pouring down, lifeless pouring down, Anxin and the old village chief, every day to go up the embankment to inspect several times, looking at the water gradually rising, their hearts were tightly pinched.
Back in the house, the old village chief lit a dry tobacco for himself, called the elders of the village, and everyone discussed what to do?
"This rain can't fall anymore, if it goes down again, I'm afraid this embankment won't be able to bear it." After all, it's new, and if you can let it dry for a few days, it will work well.
"Who says it's not, this thief is going to kill people."
The crowd was worried.
Zhang Hui was wearing a sleek coat, a yellow canvas umbrella in her hand, and a pair of worn-out boots under her feet, but her body was still drenched, and the boots were half watered.
"Teacher An, village chief, there are several roads from the school to the village that have been flooded, what should I do?"
"Have all the important things been transferred to the mountains?" An Xin asked in a deep voice.
"It's almost all transferred."
"Village chief, just in case, let the children, women and the elderly, all move to the mountains first, anyway, there is food, pots and firewood over there, by the way, bring all the candles from the village commissary, and let the children go to class on the mountain first." Learning cannot be delayed. Children are the hope of the future of a village. ”
Things went on in an orderly manner.
Because the rain was too heavy, the cement was pasted up, and it was washed away by the rain, so in order not to waste resources, the village chief Meng simply decided that the dam would not be repaired.
These building materials might as well be kept for later reconstruction.
With the heavy rain falling for more than ten days, Village Chief Meng seemed to have seen the scene of the monstrous flood, he gritted his teeth, and began to transfer his things at home.
It doesn't matter if the sand is there, but the cement has to be moved to the mountains, otherwise when the water is flushed, there will be no more, and there will be fertilizer seeds to grow crops, etc.
"Village chief, no, no, there is a crack at the bottom of the dam, and there is a hole about the thickness of an adult's arm, and it is spraying water outward." A villager was drenched and panicked to report it.
At this time, the cattle, sheep, chickens and ducks in the village were basically transported to the mountains, and the village was empty, except for the houses and yards.
Village Chief Meng looked up at the still gloomy sky, sighed and said, "Let's all go to the mountain." ”
The last group of people carried their belongings, and as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, they heard a rumbling sound, and then a monstrous white wave rushed over the embankment.
"Ah, the dam has burst, everyone go up the mountain!" The crowd screamed and ran up the hill, and the waves behind them chased fiercely, engulfing the village, the trees, and the school.
Someone on the mountain had already come down to meet them, and when they finally climbed to safety, they found that there was already a white water tower behind them.
The old man and the woman wept quietly.
Village Chief Meng frowned and sighed: "We have to thank Teacher Xiao An, if she hadn't insisted on repairing the dam, I'm afraid we would have been buried underwater." ”
The head of the village is a reasonable person, and in the dream system, the embankment of Mengjia Village collapsed after five days of heavy rain, and the villagers did not have a sense of prevention, so they suffered heavy losses.
Teacher Zhang Hui, who was about to leave at that time, died heroically in this flood in order to save students.
And this time, due to the appearance of peace of mind, the time for the dam to collapse was postponed, and the most important thing was that there was no casualty in the village, and all important supplies were saved.
"Yes, Teacher An is our benefactor of Mengjiatun."
While everyone was crying and saying words of thanks, Anxin took people with nets and went to the place where the flood passed to catch fish.
There were originally fish in the dam, but now the dam collapsed, and the fish must have flowed down with the water.
"Ah, the net has arrived, the net has arrived, wow what a big black fish, and a lot of crucian carp, you can drink hot fish soup tonight." The crowd cheered.
The originally suppressed emotions were instantly relieved because of this fishing activity.
There are only a few caves on the mountain, so there is one for men and one for women, one for the children, and the others for food.
The villagers work together and eat together, but when the flood comes, the disaster is at a juncture, but the feelings are closer.
In order to prevent wild beasts from the mountains, the militia of the village took turns on duty every night.
The scene of the flood raging throughout the village and the sound of reading aloud from the stone caves on the mountain are a striking contrast.
On the fifteenth day, the rain finally stopped, and the sun came out.
Everyone was on the top of the mountain, looking at the vast white water below, looking at their homes from afar.
Some houses are built higher so that only some roofs can be seen, and some houses are built lower and there is no shadow at all.
The day after the dam broke, the village chief Meng had the news spread to the city.
When the weather cleared, the city's post-disaster rescue team and medical personnel rushed to the scene, only to find that there seemed to be no use for them, because there were no casualties at all.
The captain of the rescue team, after listening to Village Chief Meng's description, turned his admiring gaze to Anxin, walked over, stretched out his hand, shook hands with her and said, "Thank you, often you have saved so many people." ”
An An smiled faintly: "This is what I should do." ”
There were no casualties in Mengjiatun, which is equivalent to minimizing the impact, how can the county magistrate of Meng County not be happy?
There is no death, that is, he has worked properly, although he has not contributed a word, but when he goes to report to the top, who knows that he has not contributed to it?
He went to the city for a meeting, and was vigorously praised by the leaders, saying that he had done a good job in preventive work and had successfully guaranteed the lives and safety of the people's property.
In the following post-disaster reconstruction work, we should also intensify our efforts to make people see the results.
After the weather completely stabilized, the county magistrate of Meng County made a decision and smoothly allocated the post-disaster reconstruction materials for Mengjiatun and transported them in batches.
Coupled with the things that were originally retained in Mengjiatun, it happened to renovate every house.
However, it was unanimously decided that the first place to be rebuilt was the school, and two teachers' dormitories were also built for the school.
The number of classrooms in the school has also increased from one to five.
The children have their own basketball court, although it is just two simple basketballs and two hoops, but for them, it is so new and exciting.
The teacher's dormitory is still like a snow cave, there is no furniture, only a patchwork bed, but there is a place to live in the end, and there is no need to borrow it to live in the villagers' houses.
There is only half a month before the graduation exam of Xiaosheng Junior High School, and all the focus of Anxin, Zhang Hui and the old principal is now focused on the affairs of students.
Although Anxin did not graduate from a prestigious university, it was more than enough to teach them, and the review papers and various question types I bought this time were the best and most concentrated.
She even bought the graduation exam papers of the past years, analyzed the possible patterns in them, and combined with the experience of Teacher Zhang Hui and the old principal, to guess the questions.
In half a month, the villagers gradually packed up their new homes, and the children also regained their hope, brought new schoolbags and stationery, and followed the three teachers into the county to take the graduation exam.
Because their Mengjiatun Primary School is too backward and there are too few students, there is no way to take the test in school.
Before leaving, feel safe to help them check what they want to bring to make sure that everything is safe before leaving.
When I came to the outside of the examination room, I also comforted them and said that there was no need to be nervous, they were no worse than the students in the county, maybe a little better, because they were the most simple and clean children in the mountains.
Because they know that the opportunity to learn is not easy to come by.
This time, in addition to bringing the fifth-grade children to the exam, the fourth-grade children were also brought over to familiarize them with the environment in advance.
The time was almost up, and the eight children in the fifth grade, under the smiling and encouraging eyes of the three of Anxin, took a deep breath, held their heads high, and walked into the examination room with their heads held high.
Their hands trembled slightly, but their hearts were more determined, they should take the test well, set a good example for the children behind them, and win glory for the school.
The invigilator walks into the classroom, announces the rules of the examination room, and after the bell rings, the test papers are distributed.
When the eight children of Mengjiatun Primary School looked down at the questions on the test paper, their eyes all brightened, and their original nervous mood instantly became stable.
There are many similar types of questions, Mr. An has talked about them, and they have done them, although they have changed the way, but the knowledge points inside have not changed!
The children immediately relaxed and confident, and began to write briskly.
During the graduation exam, it was hot, and there were electric fans in the examination room, but those children in the county town were still uncomfortable, and some of them were weak, and they fainted directly.
