On August 4, it has been raining heavily for four consecutive days, and it seems that it may continue to fall, and the low-lying places in F City have been flooded, as is the case with the municipal party committee building, and now the water has reached the second level, and all kinds of garbage and unknown objects are floating on the water.

"Is the building tight? Will the flood wash away the buildings? Let's get out of here, shall we? "Scared voices.

"Yes, get out of here and go to the mountains, I heard that it is safest to hide in the mountains in the big water." Excited voices.

"How to leave? Did you swim over? "Sober voice.

Looking at the long flood, everyone was immediately discouraged, yes, how to leave such a big water?

"Don't panic, everyone is safest now only by staying in the building, we have to wait patiently for rescue, someone will definitely come to pick us up." Sisi said loudly, her voice was very calm, she didn't sound flustered at all, and it had a strange soothing effect.

Sisi doesn't know when the rescue will come, if it is in the 21st century, Sisi will definitely come soon, after all, the men of these families are all officials, and this privilege can still be owned.

But now is the early 90s, it is the era of good public servants who are dedicated to the people, Sisi is really worried that these good public servants will give up their small families to save everyone, and put the people before themselves, maybe they will drag the rescue here to the end.

The most important thing is that the municipal party committee building is a four-story building, as long as you hide on the roof, there will be no danger for the time being, and it is not the most dangerous place in the city that needs rescue the most, and in the case of limited rescue forces. In order of priority, this will not be the first place to come to the rescue.

So Sisi had already prepared to stay in the building for a few more days, and that's why she asked everyone to gather the food, but she was afraid that the food would not be enough to eat, after all, this building is a four-story building, even if the men are not at home, some families have returned to the countryside with their children, but there are seventy or eighty old and weak women and children left, and they are not old or young to eat, drink and Lazar.

"Mom, where's Daddy? Why didn't he come and pick us up? Dudu, who was tired of playing in the water, suddenly asked.

Sisi wiped Dudu's hands clean. He smiled and said, "Dad has more important things to do." He fought the flood with many uncles on the front line and protected us. ”

Dudu nodded like a little adult, opened his big black eyes and said, "Dudu is also very powerful, Mom." Shall we help Dad fight the flood? ”

Sisi couldn't help but kiss her son heavily on the head. "Doodoo is so brave. But we also have something very important to do here, so let's help mom do it, okay? ”

"Good!" Dudu happily agreed. Although he still wanted to go to his father to be a man, his father said that his mother was a weak woman, and as men, they should protect weak women.

The tap water and electricity in the building have long been cut off, and now everyone's drinking water is connected to the rainwater, Sisi asked everyone to use buckets to connect more, she is worried that if the rain stops, more than 100 people will have to cut off the water.

At this time, the mayor's wife was directing everyone to use a large pot to boil ginger brown sugar water to drink, ginger is a seasoning that every household will reserve some, and Sisi also took a lot out of the space, these days are enough, there is not much brown sugar, and there is no more after cooking this time.

The mayor's wife is a short and fat middle-aged woman, and she looks quite kind, because she is from the Women's Federation, and her surname is Peng, and everyone affectionately calls her Sister Peng.

Sister Peng is directing several leading wives to serve ginger soup in bowls, so that the elderly and children can drink it first, in this humid environment, if you don't drink some ginger soup to get wet, it is easy to get sick.

"Sister Peng, is the ginger enough? If it's not enough, I still have some at home. ”

Sisi came to the fourth floor, holding Dudu in her hand, she would not let her son leave her sight all the time, for fear that there would be some emergency, she would not have time to save Dudu, and she would hold a grudge for life.

Sister Peng laughed hehehe, "You can cook another pot, it's enough today, and I'll go to you tomorrow to get it, alas, fortunately, Sisi you have the foresight and prepared so many things." ”

Sisi smiled embarrassedly, someone had been surprised to see such old food and vegetables at her house before, and Sisi used her fear of rain and reluctance to go out so she bought more prevarication.

"Sisi, you also hurry up and drink a bowl of soup, and drink too." Sister Peng took a bowl of ginger soup and handed it to Sisi, and then a bowl to Dudu.

"Thank you, Mama Peng." Dudu thanked him politely, causing Sister Peng to touch his head lovingly.

"Sister Peng, you should also drink a bowl quickly, so as not to suffer from joint pain." Sisi said.

Sister Peng seemed to be full of worries, and said faintly: "Sisi, do you think there will be an accident with him?" Somehow, my heart has always felt heavy these days, and it shouldn't be okay, right? ”

"It's going to be fine, Mayor Yu isn't there alone, there are so many people following, where will something happen?" Sisi comforted her.

"Also, so many people together?" Sister Peng's expression was a little more relaxed, but she quickly became anxious again, "And Yuanyuan, she goes to school alone in G City, we have a big flood here, G City will definitely not be able to escape, and I don't know if something will happen?" ”

Worry about the old, worry about the small, this is a woman, every day has a heart that can't be finished, but there is always so little heart left for herself!

"Sister Peng, you better hurry up and drink ginger soup, it's cold and it won't work, Yuanyuan is with teachers and classmates, what's there to worry about? Besides, G University is built on a mountain, not like our municipal party committee building, which will be flooded as soon as there is a big flood, so you can put a hundred hearts! ”

"yes, G University is in the mountains, I forgot." Sister Peng frowned, put away her worries about her husband and daughter, and gulped down the ginger soup.

On August 6, it had been raining heavily for the sixth day, but Sisi felt that the rain was lighter than the previous two days.

"Alas, this rain is small, I think it will definitely stop tomorrow, as long as the rain stops, the water will recede." Sister Peng said excitedly.

However, the rain stopped the next day, but the water level did not drop at all, and even gradually increased.

"How so? Why is the water getting bigger? Everyone was terrified, the second floor was already more than half gone, and it looked like it was about to reach the third floor.

On the banks of the Z River, the mother river of F City, the flood was constantly roaring, Tian Xinhua wore a raincoat and carried sandbags with the armed policemen to strengthen the embankment, and Mayor Yu was old because of his age, Tian Xinhua asked him to command on the shore, although he himself wanted to go into the water very much.

"Secretary Tian, there are a few more cracks in the embankment." Tian Xinhua's assistant Xiao Zheng ran over out of breath, Xiao Zheng was brought by Tian Xinhua from Huangyuan and was his right-hand man.

"his ancestors, when Lao Tzu fights the flood, Lao Tzu must make them look good!" Tian Xinhua couldn't help but scold towards the sky.

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up with sandbags to block it, you can't let the embankment collapse, otherwise not only the people of F City will suffer, but also the downstream C City will be finished." Tian Xinhua yelled at Xiao Zheng, who was standing next to him. (To be continued.) )
