The rain is still falling, the danger has not been lifted, but the most critical moment has passed, the county's increased teams have arrived one after another, tractors carrying masonry sandbags are lined up in a long line on the road, and there are cadres waving red flags everywhere to command, Zhou Wen stood on the embankment, looking at the busy and orderly scene below, the river and the sea in his chest, the waves are magnificent, all of this is organized by himself.

Behind Zhou Wen stood the female reporter of the provincial Huaijiang Daily named Bai Na, this girl has a more spicy temperament and is very bold, she braved the heavy rain to use a single-lens reflex camera and portable dV to faithfully record all the scenes of this flood fighting and rescue, at this moment she was not willing to leave Zhou Wen for a moment, saying that she wanted to dig a hero of the new era, Zhou Wen just smiled faintly and let her go.

The sky gradually darkened, the diesel motor in the township roared, driving a few iodine-tungsten lamps to illuminate the entire embankment, Zhou Wen wore a raincoat, running back and forth on the embankment with one foot deep and one foot shallow, according to the report of the upstream hydrological station, there is also a wave of flood peaks rushing down from the top of the mountain, the flow is far greater than the previous wave, if the temporarily reinforced embankment can not hold up, it will be abandoned!

"Any news from the quarry?" Zhou Wen turned around and asked.

A secret: "I called them two hours ago to inform them that the stone was delivered, but now I can't get in touch." ”

"Then keep contacting, these regular masonry are useless at all, and they will be washed away if they are thrown into the water. You have to use the big stones from the quarry. ”

……

Three hours passed, and the tractor transporting the stones was still on the road, but Hong Feng arrived first, and the huge roar frightened the cadres and masses on the embankment, and they could not see the situation in the river clearly in the night, and could only see the turbulent water in the vicinity, and there were tree branches drifting far along the river.

"The pipe is surging!" I don't know who shouted, Zhou Wen immediately led people to rush over, and quickly plugged the loophole with sandbags, but the embankment that had just been strengthened collapsed by a distance of more than 20 meters!

Zhou Wen's heart was half cold, people are not as good as the sky, all his efforts have been in vain, the embankment is about to collapse, the flood is about to ravage the entire Dawang Township, and then the county seat, Nantai County will become a country, I don't know how many people are displaced, life and death, and he will also be drowned in this surging flood, and he will never see his virtuous wife and lovely son again......

"Assistant Zhou!"

"Assistant Zhou!"

A call pulled Zhou Wen's thoughts back to reality, he looked around, a pair of helpless eyes were looking at him, at this juncture, he was their backbone, how could he retreat.

Zhou Wen gritted his teeth and said to himself secretly: "Zhou Wen, you have been cowardly all your life, and you should be a real man when you die!" He resolutely stood up and shouted in a hoarse voice: "If the embankment collapses, everyone will die, and they won't be able to live horizontally or vertically, it's the master who follows me!" ”

A group of armed police soldiers stepped forward, and then some young militiamen also stood up, and Zhou Wen and them held hands to form a human chain, and walked into the water step by step with the determination to die generously, blocking Hong Feng with his body.

On the embankment, the female reporter Bai Na was shaking with dV's hand, and in night vision mode, a group of tough guys in the lens shouted and stood in the river, the rain began to fall again, Bai Na's face was wet, I don't know if it was rain or tears.

The migrant workers took advantage of the opportunity created by Zhou Wen and their lives to fill a large number of sandbags into the torrent, and then covered a large amount of gravel with barbed wire and threw it into the water, and finally carried the flood peak again, but the warriors in the water also paid the price of their lives, and the two young armed police soldiers were swept into the torrent and could never be found again.

……

The sky gradually brightened, the rain stopped, the river coming down from the upstream slowed down a lot, and the embankment was full of people.

Zhou Wen was lying in the mud and falling asleep, his glasses were covered with mud, and Bai Na sat beside him, looking at the little-known assistant to the county magistrate with pity.

Bai Na originally came to Nantai County for an interview about her colleague being arrested, but she didn't expect to experience two things that she would never forget, last night's ** She also took a lot of photos and videos, and applauded Zhou Wen's wonderful performance, and when Binguang sorted out the information in the evening, she also specially checked Zhou Wen's information on the Internet, the director of the tourism bureau in the city, has been in office for a few months, there is no credit and no hard work, it is just an ordinary cadre with no name, and he is not handsome, and he has no decent backer, In Bai Na's words, he is the kind of person who has no newsworthiness.

But in this storm, Zhou Wen showed his unknown side, he is not only an excellent cadre, but also a real man, a real hero!

Bai Na took out a handkerchief and carefully helped Zhou Wen wipe the mud on his face, and suddenly thought that Assistant Zhou must have been married in his thirties, and there was a sour feeling in her heart for no reason.

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance, Bai Na stood up suddenly, only to see the brigade of tractors coming from a distance, the red flag waving in the wind, and the brigade finally arrived.

The sky is also sunny.

The county magistrate who led the team was Tang County, I don't know how he got out of Wild Boar Valley, but it can be imagined that he must have suffered a lot, the county magistrate was wearing a raincoat and rubber boots, which were crisp white shirts and trousers, and there was an attaché behind him holding an umbrella to help him block the sun.

The cadres of the county party committee and county government also came, dressed in raincoats and rubber boots, and holding notebooks in their hands, ready to record the instructions of County Magistrate Tang at any time.

Now that people from the county's emergency rescue office, flood control office and other professional organs arrived at the scene, the grass platform team organized by Zhou Wen naturally dispersed, and a group of unkempt flood fighters were just about to go down to eat and rest, but were stopped by a panting little secretary: "Wait, County Magistrate Tang is coming to shake hands with you." ”

Surrounded by cadres and reporters, the county magistrate Tang came to the scene, first personally shoveled a shovel into the sandbag, the reporters crackled and took a photo, and then two cadres of the flood control office wearing hard hats unfolded a flood control deployment map in front of the county magistrate Tang.

Then, the county magistrate Tang came to the embankment, cordially greeted the flood control warriors, shook hands with them one by one, and also asked for their names and patted them on the shoulder to show encouragement.

And Zhou Wen had quietly left the scene.

……

The county government, the oval office, the county magistrate Tang is talking to the cadres one by one, there have been many things in the county in the past two days, first **, then the flood disaster, once out of control, if it were not for Assistant Zhou to turn the tide, I am afraid that the county is now a ** after the country.

The cadres who participated in these two things were full of praise for Assistant Zhou, but the more they praised Zhou Wen, the deeper the haze in the heart of the county magistrate Tang, of course, the county magistrate Tang still had a calm smile on his face.

Finally finished talking, County Magistrate Tang took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and the secretary walked in quietly, holding a stack of press releases with photos.

"This is a program that the county TV station is going to do, and the Propaganda Department has asked someone ......to bring it over."

County Magistrate Tang picked it up casually and looked at it, and there was a photo of Zhou Wen on it, and he threw it back with a swipe: "Retrial!" ”

The secretary understood and walked away with the press release.

"Wait." County Magistrate Tang stopped him.

"Convene a meeting of several Standing Committee members for me, and there are some personnel arrangements in the county that need to be adjusted."

……

Since the fall of Secretary Zhang, the county government has the upper hand in the dispute between the government and committee of Nantai County, and the county magistrate Tang, who has always been strong and has strong support in the province and city, is faintly above Secretary Xu, who is about to retreat to the second line, and his words are the golden rule in Nantai County.

Several members of the Standing Committee sat together, and the county magistrate Tang said openly and honestly about the events of the past two days, and the Standing Committee members were like mirrors in their hearts, and the most taboo things in the officialdom were overstepping, this Zhou Wen did not know the height of the sky, and in order to show off, he touched the backlash of all county and department-level leaders, and this kind of person is not worthy of sympathy even if he is unlucky.

"It is a very serious political mistake to go against the official in front of the public and seek personal political interests, and the use of lynching to hold criticism meetings and illegal detention is a violation of the criminal law, and it must be dealt with seriously.

The county magistrate Tang shook his fingers, a little excited, the secretary hurriedly served tea, the county magistrate Tang took a shallow taste, cleared his throat and said: "I suggest that Comrade Zhou Wen be removed from the post of assistant to the county magistrate and director of the county tourism bureau, and the county discipline inspection commission will admonish and talk to him, this is a preliminary opinion, and the next step is for the public security organs to follow up and investigate, that is a matter of judicial mouth, I don't interfere, what other opinions do you have?" ”

The Standing Committee members raised their hands in agreement.

……

"Assistant Zhou." There was a gentle call at the door, Zhou Wen looked back, it was a young clerk, the young man quietly stretched out his thumb, and said in a low voice: "Good job." Then he hurried away.

Zhou Wen shook his head and smiled, compared with those pedantic old slippery heads who were full of deceit, these young relatives who had just stepped into the officialdom were much simpler.

There have been too many things in the past two days, Zhou Wen has experienced the test of life and death, the whole person seems to have passed Nirvana, and he has seen many things lightly, Tang County Magistrate is a smiling tiger, although he also talked to himself and encouraged him just now, but Zhou Wen, who has also been in the officialdom for many years, knows that the more the leader smiles at you, the more wary he is of you.

There is no place to stay here, there is a place to keep a master, it's a big deal not to be the assistant director of tourism of the bird county magistrate, and it is also a matter of seeing these dirty things all day long, thinking of this, Zhou Wen's mood relaxed, and even whistled.

Suddenly, the door of the office was directly pushed open, and two comrades from the county discipline inspection commission walked in and said very bluntly: "Comrade Zhou Wen, please pack up your things and go with us." ”

If it was before, Zhou Wen would definitely be frightened, but after being reborn in Nirvana, Zhou Wen stood up indifferently, glanced contemptuously at his office that had not been sitting for three months and said, "I don't have anything to pack." ”

……

Provincial capital, the small conference room of the provincial party committee building, a large-screen LCD TV embedded in the wall is projecting the picture of Nantai County, the audience below is well-dressed, with serious expressions, they are the Jiangdong Provincial Standing Committee team with Zheng Jiefu, secretary of the provincial party committee.

"Nantai County actually gave birth to such a large-scale **, someone is responsible!" Provincial Political and Legal Committee.

"Don't worry, take your time." Zheng Jiefu said slowly.

As soon as the picture turned, the situation was under control, and when they saw Zhou Wen pouring Xie Yuqiang's milk on the stage, some Standing Committee members couldn't help but chuckle, and the Political and Legal Committee: "This kid is really playing the piano randomly." ”

When they saw that the crowd had dispersed and had not caused much harm, the Standing Committee members were relieved, and when they turned their heads to each other, Zheng Jiefu coughed dryly and said, "There are still below." ”

The secretary picked up the remote control and pressed it, and the picture turned to flood fighting and rescue, although Bai Na is a newspaper reporter, but the shooting level is not bad, almost all of them faithfully recorded the situation at the time, and it belongs to the kind of absolutely original and unadulterated on-site first report.

At the beginning, the Standing Committee members were still talking about it, but when they saw Zhou Wen and a group of people holding hands and jumping into the flood, the room was already quiet, and a few old guys even took out their handkerchiefs and took off their glasses to wipe the corners of their eyes.

In the end, the picture is fixed on a young cadre smoking on the river embankment, although he is unkempt, although he is covered with mud, although the cigarette in his mouth is wrinkled, but the light in his eyes is inspiring.

Zheng Jiefu, secretary of the provincial party committee, stood up and said word by word: "What is a real *** member?" This is the real ***! ”
