Chapter 443: The Great Water Is Coming
Chapter 443: The Great Water Is Coming
What should come is still coming, and it has been raining continuously since July, and Song Lei finally found out that something was wrong. There were no pop-ups, fortunately, Gu Zhicheng warned him many times in the name of experts in the city that there would be floods this year, so he could prepare for them early. Fence prevention is the most basic measure, and reducing the investment of funds is also one of the methods.
Ignoring the opposition of the fourth uncle, Gu Zhicheng organized the villagers to spontaneously raise the embankment behind the village. If the sand was not enough, he would pay out of his own pocket, and although Zhang Cuilian felt distressed, she gritted her teeth to support him. As long as Yang Zhuang can survive this catastrophic flood, Gu Zhicheng will get far more than the money of the sand.
Many people feel that Gu Zhicheng is making a big fuss, and it rains heavily, at most, the grain in the field is wasted. Some people say that Gu Zhicheng will be blamed on everyone for the decrease in harvest, but if he blames God for the responsibility, then it will be fine.
But this rumor didn't spread for long, and the people didn't care anymore. Because every household has suffered a lot of losses, no matter how well the drainage of the vegetable garden is, it can't withstand too much rain. What eggplant, peppers, potatoes, cucumbers, all waterlogged.
Grandma Dunzi was not proud, and the terrain of their house was relatively high, and the vines were not affected much. The front garden is used to raise a large number of white geese, and a small blister is not affected, but allows the geese to have a place to play.
At the end of July, heavy rain began to fall in Yangzhuang, and the water level rose rapidly, and Xixiakan, where Song Lei was located, could no longer live in it. Even if the yard is fenced off with sandbags, the river outside can't get in, and the rainwater alone is enough to row in the small yard.
The Song family transferred the furniture and electrical appliances. The gate was locked, and the whole family took refuge in Wang Wu's house.
But the other people who reacted slower were a little unlucky, and Gu Zhicheng really didn't look like a good sign when he looked at the heavy rain that night. At four o'clock, I ran over in a raincoat and found that the water level was above my knees. Hurry up and knock on the door of Wang Wu's house and let Song Lei row a boat to save people.
An old couple lives in the most remote place, and Gu Zhicheng reminded him early. The old couple thought that the yard was surrounded by sandbags, but they didn't pay attention to it. I didn't expect the water level to grow so fast, so fast that they were caught off guard.
The elderly don't sleep much, so they get up in the morning and go out to the toilet. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, the water outside rushed into the house. The old lady was so frightened that she almost sat on the ground at once, holding on to the door frame and calling her wife.
The old man was woken up by an exclamation, and before he sat on the kang and his feet hit the ground, he found that there was a lot of water in the house. When I put on my shoes and pulled the old lady to the kang and squatted, the water was already half a kang high.
The old man immediately made a decision to call his son and daughter's house, but he didn't expect that before the call fell, Song Lei walked in wearing the black water pants that he usually fishes.
"Uncle, auntie, aren't you scared?" Behind Song Lei was Gu Zhicheng, and when he saw Gu Zhicheng, the old couple was very excited: "Secretary Gu, what's going on?" ”
Gu Zhicheng waded through the water and walked to the side of the kang and comforted the two old men: "The rain is too heavy, and the water is rising." It's okay, don't be afraid. There's a boat outside, and we'll get you to safety. Look at what valuable things are in the house, passbooks, TVs, jewelry, etc. Auntie, you clean up, and then let's lock the door first, and get out of here first. ”
When the old lady heard this, she turned around and opened the kang cabinet. took out an iron box from inside, and wanted to get off the kang to open the cabinet and get a few clothes. The old man thought about it, stopped the old lady and said, "Just take the money with you, nothing else." Let's go out first, don't let people wait for us. When the boss comes, let's clean it up. ”
The old lady was right when she thought about it, so she said to Gu Zhicheng: "Secretary Gu, then we don't have anything." ”
Gu Zhicheng nodded, carrying the old lady on his back, and Song Lei carrying the old man on his back, the two of them walked out one after the other. sent the two elders to the small fish boat, and Gu Zhicheng and Song Lei pushed the two old men to the shore in a waddling manner.
The same is true of other families, who do not panic despite sudden disasters. Gu Zhicheng and Song Lei went door-to-door to beat gongs and drums, and the adults were already mentally prepared. Fortunately, there was no threat to human life, and the women quickly packed up their belongings, and the men quickly left the house with the children or the old people on their backs.
The victims in Yangzhuang were seven or eight families by the river, and the surrounding neighbors had been awakened by this time. They all ran over to help, and those who had relatives stayed at their relatives' houses, and those who didn't have relatives lived in good neighbors' houses.
In this catastrophe, everyone doesn't have too many ideas, and it is more important than anything else to save your life first.
Gu Zhicheng hurriedly informed the leaders, and then organized the villagers to fight the flood independently. Zhang Cuilian only knows a rough idea, and she doesn't know what else will happen.
Panicked because of the flood, the men of Yangzhuang were organized. Divided into several small teams, some of them patrol day and night to check the water level. Others are flooding day and night to reinforce dikes.
"I remember that when it was the worst, it was the people's soldiers who fought the flood with their bodies. You can see how terrible the flood was, so you must ensure the safety of people first. It really couldn't be saved, so he quickly organized the people of Yangzhuang to evacuate Yangzhuang. Zhang Cuilian knew that she couldn't help much, but she couldn't be in a hurry in vain. Then squatting next to the radio every day, keeping an eye on the flood all the time.
Gu Zhicheng knew that his status and prestige in Yangzhuang were far inferior to the fourth uncle of the old village chief. Although the fourth uncle is selfish and loves to take advantage of others and likes to exclude people with foreign surnames, his feelings for Yang Zhuang are definitely more important than his own life.
This flood control and embankment construction is enough to see the old man's temperament, wearing a raincoat and holding a flashlight to walk around the village without sleeping.
Gu Zhicheng invited the fourth uncle out at this time, and the two discussed how to minimize Yangzhuang's losses.
The fourth uncle went to contact several nearby villages that were not affected by the disaster, and all the young men came to help with flood control. Gu Zhicheng eats and lives next to the embankment, while Zhang Cuilian leads the women in the village to cook.
The loudspeaker whispered to Zhang Cuilian: "Those villages that don't have a river at all and nothing can make a lot of noise compared to us." Now every household is steaming steamed buns, and they all say that they want to flee. ”
Zhang Cuilian knew that the loudspeaker liked to talk nonsense everywhere, and told her: "Although there are a lot of fish ponds and loops in our village, the only ones who are affected by the disaster are those who have a high geographical location. The families upstream moved out early, and now they can withstand the one-metre-high sandbag embankment. So for the time being, there is still no danger, waiting for Lao Gu to ask what the above plan is. Everything must be subject to the unified command, and we must not mess up first. ”
The big horn didn't care, and turned his head to Wang Xiaohua, who came in with a pot of beans, and said, "I heard that they fished a person in the river?" That person is soaked and unpresented? ”
Seeing that Wang Xiaohua didn't speak, her eyes rolled and she asked curiously: "I heard that your fish are full of human fingers in their stomachs." How many gold rings did you pick up? Really? ”
