Chapter 42: Sweeping
But that doesn't mean there won't be backwater.
The essential cause of backfilling or not being able to get water is the lack of flux, and in the final analysis, in addition to the design flaws of the drainage system itself, there is also the reason why the garbage clogs the pipes. It is not enough to just stare at the drainage drain in the ground, and most of the underground water flows down from the steps, except for the direct rainfall. It is necessary to ensure that the drainage floor drain on the ground is drained normally, and the main pipe of the community will not be blocked, so as to ensure that the floor drain drainage in the basement is normal.
Zheng Rui squatted down, lifted up the iron net leaking from the commissary department to increase the throughput, and then said to Bian Na who was watching inside: "Sister Na, let's go up and clean up the garbage on the ground, if we rush into the drainage pipe and block it, it will be fatal." β
After she reminded her, Benna also realized that if the main rainwater drain in this area was blocked, the commissary and several basements opposite would be saved.
She hurriedly turned it out, and then thought of something, poked her head back inside and shouted, "Fang Tong! Take out that set of brooms and dustpans from the warehouse! β
Zuo Youcheng is wounded and powerless, Fang Tong still has to do some work. You can't let them eat rice.
After more than ten seconds, Fang Tong handed out a set of brooms and dustpans from inside, and then he himself stepped on the beams of the shelves and turned them out from above. It seems that this kid still has a bit of eyesight.
"Be careful." Zheng Rui said to Bian Na and Fang Tong, "I opened the floor drain cover here, be careful not to step into it." β
The rain was so heavy that I couldn't open my eyes, and I couldn't feel my way when I walked.
Zheng Rui and Bian Na discussed it and decided to act separately to inspect the floor drains in the yard and on the side of the road. Bian Na is in charge of the yard, which is a little safer, and Zheng Rui takes Fang Tong to check the sides of the road outside the yard, and by the way, you can also take a look at whether there is a problem with the floor drain in the opposite community.
Fang Tong should be able to understand that putting him and Zheng Rui in a group was to prevent him. But this man spoke like squeezing toothpaste, and of course he didn't say anything about it.
He didn't talk to Zheng Rui, and Zheng Rui didn't talk to him, just took the broom and dustpan and walked to the side of the road, Fang Tong followed almost two steps behind her, until he walked out of the original courtyard wall and came to the side of the road.
The situation of the floor drain next to the road is not very optimistic, and the heavy rain has caused a lot of fallen leaves and broken branches, which are all collected around the floor drain by the current water. The broom used in the room didn't work at all, and only the dustpan could hold the branches a little.
Zheng Rui glanced at Fang Tong and felt that it was not easy to order him with his own identity, so he just handed him the broom, and he went over to shovel up the branches and leaves blocking the floor drain with a dustpan and transferred them to the locust tree pit on the sidewalk next to him.
Fang Tong looked at her approach, probably understanding what was going on, so he also took a broom and began to sweep the fallen leaves. But this broom is really not easy to use, and sweeping the fallen leaves can't match the speed of the water rushing away the fallen leaves, but he still sweeps like this, which makes Zheng Rui feel that this person's head is not a little problematic.
Is it a matter of IQ, or do you want to be lazy? Given that Zuo Youcheng said that his cousin knows how to study, and his grades should be at least unsatisfactory, then it is probably not a matter of IQ. Zheng Rui couldn't help but feel a little helpless, could he do this? She and Benna didn't want to force him to work at all, wasn't it because they were afraid that the drain would be blocked?
Zheng Rui had already finished shoveling more than half of it, and Fang Tong had not made any substantial progress there. She really couldn't look past it, and asked this person directly: "The broom is not good, can you use your hands?" β
In the sound of rain, Zheng Rui seemed to hear Fang Tong agree, and then he put down the broom, bent down and began to grasp the fallen leaves with his hands.
Isn't that capable of doing the job? Zheng Rui felt comfortable. She just can't see the appearance of someone grinding foreign workers when she is working, isn't this an irreconcilable contradiction between capital and labor, as for being lazy?
After clearing the floor drain on this side, I went to the opposite side of the road to clear the floor drain on the other side.
When Zheng Rui shoveled the branches, he saw that the floor drain next to the garbage can in the opposite community was actually open, and the garbage piled up not far away looked like it was about to be carried into the floor drain by water.
She put the dustpan down, walked over and probed the floor drain with her foot, kicked the wire mesh cover of the floor drain, and picked it up and covered the floor drain. Most of the garbage cans not far away are due to being turned over by people living in the basement, and all kinds of garbage scattered on the ground are quite disgusting. She didn't want to care about it, she just hoped that the garbage wouldn't fall into the drain and plug the main drain in this area.
Since the heavy rainstorm, many parts of the city have renovated their drainage systems, but the drainage system in this suburban satellite town has not been renovated. The reason for not renovating is also because there is no money, and without money, it can only leave safety hazards. That's why it's important to pay extra attention to avoid the drain being blocked and all the basements having to be finished.
Who knew that Zheng Rui had just covered the iron net of the floor drain, and a person suddenly burst out of the nearest basement hole and shouted to her: "Are you particularly sick?!" Lift the lid of the sewer for me! β
In the rainstorm, I can only see clearly that there is a man who comes, and his height is about 1.8 to 1.9 meters, which is not outstanding in this city, but this big brother is fat and strong in addition to being tall, and he looks a little scary.
Zheng Rui regretted a little that she didn't go out with a shaped claw. To deal with such a strong man, it is best to use that glaive knife-shaped claw.
However, if you lose people, you can't lose your momentum, she still put forward objective facts: "If you don't cover the sewer, the garbage will be blocked in the drain, and this piece will be finished." β
"Lao Tzu doesn't care if you block other places!" The eldest brother was really upright, and he picked up the iron net of the floor drain with one hand, and pointed to the basement where he was with the other and said, "We are going to have water there, you know?" Don't be so nosy! β
Why can't this person understand people's words? Zheng Rui felt that she had made it clear that garbage was leaking here, and it was a plastic waterproof like a packaging box, and when the time came, all the basements would be flooded if the drainage system was blocked in this ancient disrepair.
However, she doesn't know how far this big brother's ability has evolved, and she feels that she should try not to use force to persuade her, and she still has to stick to ***'s assertion of wrong opinions - to convince people with reason.
"Big brother, if you leak garbage down here and block the main drain pipe, we will all be flooded." Zheng Rui said in a soothing tone as much as possible, "It's okay to open the floor drain, but let's clean up the surrounding garbage first, okay?" β
The fat and strong young man glanced at Zheng Rui, as if he had noticed that she did not seem to be from their camp.
He threw down the iron net, took a step forward, and reached out to grab Zheng Rui's collarβ
Zheng Rui reflexively punched him in the chin.
Her withdrawn hand was a little sore, and there was blood on it.
