Chapter 100: The Stormy Lang Rescues the Drowning Girl (Part I)

(On the night of the flood fight, Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee, jumped into the torrent out of his sincere instinct and regardless of his personal safety, but was washed downstream by the torrent in order to save the drowning girl.) And during the period of his "disappearance", what kind of farce was staged in the county?) The next morning, at eight or nine o'clock, the torrent rolled over the Jinshui River. After several days of heavy rain, the torrent has risen to the shore, and some low-lying areas have flooded the county. The sky was hazy, and the rain was intermittent, but it still didn't stop at all. In the upper reaches of the Jinshui River in the north of the city, Zhou Zhengyuan, the county magistrate, and Niu Niu, deputy county magistrate, led a group of six or seven members of the government's rescue and disaster relief team to investigate the low-lying areas of the river embankment and direct the cadres and masses to build an embankment with sacks and stones to keep out the water. The county magistrates of Zhouniu and Zhouniu are organizing a meeting of the members of the township party committee and government team to arrange flood prevention and disaster relief. In front of a warehouse in the government compound, the director of the party office and two other staff members were receiving money and materials from industrial and commercial households on the street to support flood fighting, emergency rescue and disaster relief. At this moment, Shao Tong, the owner of the "Shao Ji Wonton Restaurant," who had already been released from the Pingxue unjust case, went to the front of the warehouse accompanied by his wife Bai Yun, and Shao Tong motioned to his wife to pay the money; Bai Yun immediately took out a thick bundle of money from the black leather bag he was carrying with him.

"Director Yuan, there is a long way to go in flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief, and it is a critical season when a lot of money and materials are needed. Bai Yun said as he took out the money. "Here's 20,000 yuan, please accept it. ”

"So much money? I can't take it. Director Yuan's hand holding the money trembled unexpectedly with excitement. "Secretary Zhong of our county party committee said in the telemobilization meeting for flood fighting, rescue and disaster relief: Although we mobilize collective individual industrial and commercial households to actively donate money and materials to support flood relief and disaster relief, everyone must do what they can. How much money can you earn a month from your small wonton restaurant, excluding the money for raw materials and taxes? You donated 20,000 yuan at once; not only in Jintang Town, but also among the county's individual industrial and commercial households, you will also be 'scorpion-the only one', which will affect your business and life. Therefore, I can't take this money. ”

"Hey, Director Yuan, look at you as a leader? There is not often a saying in the world, 'No one is afraid of money'; Shao Tong also asked. "That's it, Director Yuan, you will accept the money first, and if the superior investigates, I will take the initiative to prove that we consciously donated the money; ”

"That's not going to work either. Director Yuan thought and said. "Even so, because the amount is indeed too large, it always needs the consent of the leader. At this time, the two county magistrates of Zhou Niu and the second county flood relief team held a meeting for the town team in the conference room. ”

In the town hall meeting. When Director Yuan explained the situation while putting the bundle of money on the conference table, Zhou looked at the cow and said: "What do you think can be done about this? The amount is indeed too large; although a small businessman can be in good spirits, the government can't kill chickens and take eggs and drag down a private enterprise for disaster relief, right?"

"Don't worry, County Magistrate Zhou. Donating this amount is also within my means. Shao Tong repeatedly explained and demanded. "In order to prevent and control the flood disaster of the Jinshui River, the county and township leaders can go to the front line of flood fighting, and we individual businesses have made a fortune by taking advantage of the party's superior policies. ”

"County Magistrate Zhou, doesn't the old saying 'the grace of a drop of water should also be reciprocated by a spring'?" Bai Yun also said with gratitude. "Not to mention anything else, you have a clear love and hate for your two ** predecessors, Wang Tao and Liu Ming, ruthlessly exposed, and finally 'pulled them off the horse; in addition to the two major evils for Jinshui', you also avenged my family; let my family be released as soon as possible', we should make more contributions to the flood relief in the county and town. ”

"Well, the money donated by your family will be accepted by the town for the time being. If it is really used for flood relief, I will give you a lot of credit. County Magistrate Zhou immediately said. "Your actions have indeed set a good example for the county and township collectives and individual enterprises, and the next time we hold a teleconference, we will definitely vigorously promote your spirit. ”

At the same time, Chen Suyun (Sister Chen), member of the Standing Committee and Propaganda Minister of the "County Flood Relief Headquarters", Yu Liang, member of the county party committee and head of the county party committee office, and Gong Li, chief of the Letters and Visits Section, are each holding a phone call to inquire about the rising tide of river water and flood control, rescue and disaster relief in the towns and villages along the Jinshui River -- while Ye Lan, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and head of the organization department, personally led a logistics group of the headquarters to hold a meeting of the team and relevant personnel in the county civil affairs bureau to plan the fundraising and donation of funds and materials for flood relief. Lou Qinglian, member of the Standing Committee of the county party committee and secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, also led the second logistics group of the headquarters to preside over an enlarged meeting of the bureau's team at the county water conservancy bureau to listen to the hydrological stations on both sides of the Jinshui River and observe the rising tide of the river; Seven people, still in Huowan Township, the second township along the river in the south of the city, assisted the village cadres in the rain curtain and organized the evacuation of the villagers of Acorn Bay, a low-lying water inlet village. Zhong Jingliang held a little girl of two or three years old in his left hand, and with his right hand, he vigorously supported an old man in his seventies or eighties, who had difficulty in moving, and walked with difficulty to a nearby ox cart step by step—Jiang Xincheng and other members of the group were also helping the old and the young, or helping with furniture and belongings—and soon it was time for lunch. Zhong Jingliang and the members of the inspection team also squatted and ate in a cow house with the villagers in the newly moved village where the victims were moved.

It was also on the evening of the same day, when the ancient town of Gotan Town, on the bank of the Jinshui River, 50 miles south of the city, was almost completely submerged in the night, Zhong Jingliang, secretary of the county party committee, and their inspection team had just come to the streets of the town. This is a low-lying town. Therefore, this year, the leaders of the town party committee and the town government, drawing lessons from the previous flood rise, mobilized migrant workers to raise and strengthen the embankment and rebuild the four gates with reinforced concrete, as early as the spring drought and the sudden exposure of the Jinshui riverbed. When Zhong Jingliang and his team inspected a group, they had just walked to the north gate of the town street, and happened to see the secretary of the town party committee Bai and two or three village cadres, instructing the villagers to carry water boards to block the north gate. Seeing the secretary of the county party committee and the county inspection team coming, Secretary Bai immediately greeted him.

"Secretary Zhong, the flood is about to swell and block the street gate, and it is very dangerous outside the embankment at the moment. Secretary Bai suggested loudly to Zhong Jingliang through the rain curtain. "Let's go to the town hall first. It's the highest spot in the town. ”

"Comrade Jiao Yulu, a good example of the secretary of the county party committee back then, once said: The party's leadership should appear at any time where the masses need it most. Zhong Jingliang also said loudly and solemnly to his direct subordinates through the rain curtain. "If we hide in the highest town government in the town, the leaders are safe, but have the people outside the street been evacuated?"

"You can rest assured Secretary Zhong, just now the team divided the labor to focus on the low-lying land, and the deputy mayor of Liu, who transferred the villagers, has reported to me that before the four gates of the village street were closed, all the people in the low-lying villages have been safely transferred. Secretary Bai said loudly through the rain curtain, and suddenly rejoiced: "You see Lao Liu is here, let's ask him again." So, he said louder: "Deputy Mayor Liu, come over here." Report to Secretary Zhong in person: the evacuation and transfer of people in low-lying areas. ”

"Ah, Secretary Zhong, Secretary Jiang, are you here?" said Vice Mayor Liu. "That's right: According to the overall guiding ideology of last night's 'county flood fighting and disaster relief' television and telephone call, the town party committee decided to adhere to the 'county flood relief and disaster relief activities' On the basis of careful investigation, the number of men and women in low-lying villages that are prone to flooding or even flooding when the flood is raging has been discharged; it has been subdivided into a list of the number of the elderly, weak, sick and young who are unable to save themselves; and then 10 rescue teams of more than 200 people, which were then assigned to the town organs and departments directly under them, went deep into the village committee in the rain early this morning to assist and supervise the cadres of the village group and immediately evacuate the masses. As of 1 p.m., each group was asked to report that a total of 2,700 people from 8 village committees and 27 natural villages had been transferred, and that arrangements had been made by the Gaodi Village Committee before 5 p.m. ”

"Oh, it seems that before the flood arrived, the evacuation and resettlement of the affected people in Getan Town was still very thorough and meticulous. Zhong Jingliang held the hands of the two with satisfaction and said. "On behalf of the county flood relief headquarters and the victims, I would like to express my gratitude for your hard work. ”

"Secretary Zhong, at this time, we should rest assured and go to the town hall to have dinner after resting, right?" Secretary Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Even though the rain is still going on, as long as the victims are properly settled, we can sleep well tonight. ”

Can the leaders really sleep in Ontario tonight? Secretary Bai's words may be too early. When Zhong Jingliang and the members of the disaster inspection group of the county headquarters had eaten dinner and were properly placed to sleep in the town guest house, Jiang Xincheng and several other team members had a meeting until midnight last night, and today they were tired from a day of hard work in the rain. As the leader of the team, Zhong Jingliang should be more tired than others, because he not only has to run and work hard like the team members, he also needs to see the pins and consider the overall situation, in fact, his eyelids are fighting as early as dinner, he wants to sleep viciously, and he will not wake up the next morning.

But the truth is the opposite, lying in bed is not easy to enter; when he closes his eyes, he sees the waves and floods tumbling over the huge Lang, mercilessly swallowing the villages and fields, and the lives of people and animals -- he was suddenly stunned when he thought of this: yes, no matter how you look at it, the entire flood relief work in Getan Town, the relocation and resettlement of villagers in low-lying areas, is meticulous and meticulous, but no matter how delicate people are, sometimes they will be meticulous. As far as the town of Gotan is concerned, what they arranged for the transfer just ignored one group: that is, the transfer of the migrant population- But at this moment, it was after 12 o'clock in the evening, and he was not very sure of it, he was embarrassed to call Bai Secretary Liu, deputy mayor of the town, and could not bear to wake up the members of this group, so he had to get up alone, take an emergency lamp, quietly went out of the guest house, and walked quickly to the north gate; when he just climbed to the embankment, he saw a sea outside the embankment; so he used the emergency light to shine on the village he saw during the day, where there were still village houses, and only a few trees were sparse, trembling and trembling under the impact. There was no one outside, only the sound of wind and rain. He suddenly thought to himself: Are he a little too worried? Maybe the town has also moved the people out of the city when they are evacuating? So he wants to go back to the embankment with confidence; at this moment, he suddenly heard a cry for help not far away; he was startled, and when he listened carefully, he could tell that it was a girl's voice?

So, he immediately jumped desperately and swam to the person who had just called for help. Because after all, the environment was unfamiliar, and when he was about to grab the girl who had fallen into the water and was about to walk towards the embankment, he suddenly slipped and fell into the riverbed, and just happened to meet a rush to call him, and rushed to the bottom of the river with the rescued person.
