The second wave arrived three days later.

The cadres and masses of the county worked hard to rescue the emergency and finally ensured that the embankment was unharmed. Most of the embankment sections in Luhua Town were in danger, but fortunately, the rescue measures were effective and they barely survived the difficulties.

For four or five days in a row, Fan Hongyu fought on the front line of flood fighting, until the second wave of flood peaks passed safely, and then he took the time to go back to the county government dormitory, take a good shower, change into a set of clean and comfortable cotton pajamas, and sleep beautifully.

Early the next morning, Fan Hongyu went to work at the county government office, ready to deal with the backlog of official business in the past few days.

Flood fighting is certainly a first-class priority, and daily work cannot be completely suspended.

From a distance, I saw Chen Xia and Dong Quanqing standing at the door of the county government office building chatting and talking, Dong Quanqing looked a little excited, waving his arms, and even gesturing, Chen Xia just smiled and shook his head, but his expression was very resolute.

"Professor Dong, what's wrong?"

Fan Hongyu hurriedly quickened his pace, walked over, and asked with a smile.

When Chen Xia saw Fan Hongyu, she immediately breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "County magistrate, you're finally here, it's great......

It sounds like Director Chen has encountered a huge problem and doesn't know how to deal with it. These days, several county magistrates are mostly in the towns along the lake to guide the flood control work, and the daily work of the county government is basically handled by Chen Xia.

"Director Chen, what's the matter?"

"Oh, please persuade Professor Dong, he insists on going to the front line to participate in the flood fighting and rescue work...... Not only are they going, but the Hong Kong experts are also going, and I can't persuade them. ”

Chen Xia said hurriedly, with an incredible look on her face.

There are people who are scrambling to do such a thing?

Purely compulsory labor, without any pay, only danger.

If something really happens to the Hong Kong experts on the front line of flood fighting, this basket will be bigger, and Chen Xia feels that she cannot afford such a responsibility. was about to call Fan Hongyu for instructions, and County Magistrate Fan came.

Dong Quanqing also said: "County Magistrate Fan, you came just in time, we want to go to the township by the lake to participate in the flood fighting and rescue, please approve it." ”

Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Professor Dong, thank you for your strong support from Hong Kong experts for our county's flood fighting and rescue work. At present, there are enough manpower, and it is better for experts to stay in the county, and the research and investigation work is also very important. ”

Dong Quanqing said very seriously: "County Magistrate Fan, research and investigation work is very important, this is our own job. But no matter what kind of work is now, it is not as important as flood fighting and rescue. There is no need for any reason to encounter such a natural disaster, and we must participate in it. Otherwise, we can't forgive ourselves. This is our value, please be able to understand it by County Magistrate Fan. ”

Fan Hongyu was in awe.

Just because when Dong Quanqing said this, he didn't have the slightest intention of being delicate and pretentious, as if it was as natural as saying that people must eat and drink water in life. After a month of contact, Fan Hongyu has a more comprehensive and clear understanding of this group of Hong Kong experts, both in character and knowledge, they can indeed be called elite models. I remember that Tang Min once told him on the phone that the twelve experts were all finalized by Ling Hefan personally, and all of them had been interviewed in person.

In a sense, Rei and Fan are perfectionists.

"Professor Dong, I admire your spirit. Since everyone has this request, Director Chen, please arrange a car to send the experts to Shiyuan, and ask Comrade Gu Yunfeng to do a good job of reception. ”

Fan Hongyu immediately made a decision.

Judging from the situation of flood fighting and rescue in the past few days, Shiyuan District is the safest front line of flood fighting, and Gu Yunfeng has made solid efforts some time ago, and the reinforcement of the flood control embankment has been completed most thoroughly. After two consecutive waves of flood peaks, the Shiyuan embankment was unharmed and withstood the actual test of the flood. Let the experts go to Shiyuan, Fan Hongyu is more relieved.

Chen Xia was startled, and hurriedly said, "County magistrate, this ...... I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? ”

Hong Kong experts.

Although an article was published in the "Current Affairs Forum" not long ago, which severely questioned Yunhu County's practice of "taking the capitalist road", it is still "precious" to Hong Kong experts. In any case, it is indeed very rare for professors and doctors from Hong Kong to make a special trip to Yunhu to conduct investigation and research for free, give free lessons to cadres, and have a meal with everyone.

You must know that even if they are in Hong Kong, they are also "people", with a salary of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month, what kind of good things have not been enjoyed?

Now Fan Hongyu actually asked the experts to go to the front line of flood fighting and rescue, in case of a mistake, how can he afford it?

If it is not done well, it will lead to a great "diplomatic accident".

At present, Hong Kong has not yet officially returned to the motherland, but it has also reached the most critical juncture, and some Western hostile forces are doing everything possible to find ways to undermine the general trend of Hong Kong's return. Once it is involved in such a big event, it's really not fun, the high-level thunder is furious, and someone has to take the black gauze hat to explain.

"Director Chen, it's very proper."

Dong Quanqing was afraid that this matter would change again, so he grabbed Fan Hongyu's head and said, with a look on his face that was quite troubled.

"No, Professor Dong, I don't doubt you...... Suspicious of your feelings for our county...... Key flood fighting and rescue is a highly technical work, and it is necessary to have a certain amount of experience. Inexperienced people go to the front line of flood fighting, not only can not help, but also ...... It will also distract other comrades......"

Chen Xia hurriedly explained, but she was still careful about the words.

Dong Quanqing said: "Director Chen, rest assured, we will not become a burden. Hong Kong Island is surrounded by the sea, and there is also flood prevention work to be done during the typhoon season. ”

A smile flashed across Fan Hongyu's face.

This time, he did not agree with Dong Quanqing's viewpoint, that Hong Kong's flood prevention work and the flood prevention work in the lake area are not the same thing. At least in Hong Kong's seawalls, there is almost no hearing of temporary rescue reinforcements. In the non-typhoon season, this work has already been done in place.

It's just that there is naturally no need to argue with Dong Quanqing about this matter.

"Professor Dong, I agree with you to go to Shiyuan Town, but I also have conditions."

Fan Hongyu said seriously.

"Yes, County Magistrate Fan said."

"My conditions are twofold, first, all experts must act in groups, not alone. When I went to the lower towns, many people could not speak Mandarin, and there would be problems in language communication. Second, the experts must obey the unified arrangements of the district and town leaders, and cannot act on their own. Flood fighting and rescue is a collective action, and it must be organized and disciplined. ”

"No problem, we fully accept these two conditions put forward by County Magistrate Fan. However, County Magistrate Fan, I also have one condition. ”

Fan Hongyu asked with interest, "What are Professor Dong's conditions?" ”

"We don't go to Shiyuan Town, we go to Luhua Town."

Fan Hongyu was taken aback and said, "Go to Luhua Town?" Why? ”

"Quite simply, we've heard that Luhua Town is currently in the most dangerous situation, and we want to go to the places where we need it the most. Magistrate Fan, we are not going to fight the flood, we are not pretending, we hope to play a real role. ”

Dong Quanqing looked at Fan Hongyu and said very seriously.

County Magistrate Fan's wishful thinking was recognized, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed.

Agreeing that Hong Kong experts should go to the front line of flood fighting and rescue, Fan Hongyu wants to set an example for the cadres and masses in the county. Let everyone see that people living under the capitalist system also have a good moral outlook on the world and life, and they are not completely ruined and unforgivable.

It can also be regarded as a side response to the criticism article of the royal celebrity.

You are standing tall above you, pointing fingers, criticizing and questioning, but the Hong Kong experts are not only doing practical work, but also on the front line of flood fighting.

It is clear which is better and which is inferior.

As for letting Dong Quanqing and the others go to Shiyuan Town, it was naturally for their safety. To tell the truth, in such a large-scale flood fighting and rescue operation, adding a dozen or so Hong Kong experts to the flood fighting front line will not increase much actual strength. The symbolism of this event is far greater than the practical significance. 、

Unexpectedly, Dong Quanqing saw through his "trick".

"No, Professor Dong, Luhua Town is too dangerous."

Fan Hongyu shook his head categorically and refused.

Dong Quanqing is also a stubborn character, and immediately said: "County Magistrate Fan, it is precisely because of the danger in Luhua Town that manpower is more needed. Good steel is used on the cutting edge. We know that the situation of Shihara is relatively safe, and we go there and have nothing to do, so what are we going to do? ”

Chen Xia couldn't help but be secretly amused.

As far as Professor Dong is concerned, engaging in academic research and helping capitalists make money, which is very powerful, but when it comes to flood fighting and rescue, you are not a "good piece of steel", right?

I'm quite confident.

"County Magistrate Fan, we have already discussed, if you don't agree with us going to Luhua Town, then we will go by ourselves. Anyway, Luhua Town is not far from here, just a few kilometers away. ”

Without waiting for Fan Hongyu to reply, Dong Quanqing said again, his tone was very resolute.

County Magistrate Fan suddenly ran out of words.

People have made up their minds that they have to go, and they can't ask the police to take care of them and not leave the hotel, right?

As Dong Quanqing said, Luhua Town used to be one of the key locations they investigated, and those who are familiar with the road are not afraid of not finding a place.

"Okay, Professor Dong, I agree that you will go to Luhua Town. However, I must reiterate the two conditions I have just made, that we must act collectively and that we must obey the unified command and command. Otherwise, I will take coercive measures against you. ”

Fan Hongyu was very decisive, and after a little hesitation, he immediately made up his mind and said solemnly.

"Ok, ok, County Magistrate Fan, everything will be done on your terms."

Seeing that Fan Hongyu finally "relented", Dong Quanqing immediately became very happy, said with a smile, and gave Fan Hongyu an "ok" gesture.

"Professor Dong, then please rest in the hotel first, I'll go back to the office to deal with work, and go to Luhua Town with you in the afternoon."

He had to go over and arrange this matter in person, so that he could really rest assured. (To be continued.)
