Chapter 1196: After the Disaster
The heavy rain in Xiping Village dealt a heavy blow to the Pingdu Municipal Government.
The first is that the meteorological department did not make a prediction, and the second is that the relevant departments did not react sensitively to the incident. The model village that the city has worked hard to run has turned into nothing in two heavy rainstorms in the morning and evening.
This is still secondary, the important thing is that several villages in the lower reaches of the Xichuan River were seriously affected, and a few lives were lost, although they were crushed to death under the courtyard wall, but this is their responsibility as a leader.
Wang Youdao sat in the office room, anxious. Fortunately, Ouyang Hong came to the scene in person, stabilized Xiping Village, and let hundreds of workers from the breeding factory live in the village primary school in advance, otherwise...
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Youdao dared to think further. At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang, and he picked it up a little angrily, and when he saw that it was the phone at home, he took a breath and connected.
As soon as the phone rang, the voice of the old lady Chen Yueqin came from inside: "Wang Youdao! You unconscionable guy, my house is over, and you don't call to ask, are your father and I dead or alive? Chen Yueqin's anger was very strong, and she scolded as soon as she came up.
"Mom! I asked Mayor Ouyang and said that you two are safe for the time being. Actually, I also called, but the phone never got through. You tell me to run home! I have this time, this time there are several villages in the entire Pingyang Town that have been affected, and several villages downstream of it have also died. Wang Youdao patiently said to Chen Yueqin.
When her son said this, Chen Yueqin suddenly slowed down her tone and said: "You also pay attention to safety, you call the two villains for me, let them rush home to take a look, you are busy, forget it" After Chen Yueqin finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Wang Youdao heard Chen Yueqin say this, and his heart couldn't help but rise in anger, he was so busy with the city's affairs that he couldn't go home, but what about Wang Youcai and Wang Youfa? When something so big happened at home, they didn't go home to see it.
Wang Youdao immediately called Wang Youcai's phone, and as soon as the phone rang, he shouted loudly: "Are you still human?" The house was flooded, and the house on three sides fell down on two sides, and you didn't go back to see it? “
"Second brother! I had just come out of the mountains, and I had just heard about Xiping Village. Don't worry, I'll rush home," Wang Youcai said to him very politely on the phone.
Wang Youdao hung up the phone and immediately called his eldest brother Wang Youdao. Similarly, the phone was answered as soon as he called, but when he asked, he found out that Wang Youfa was not in Pingdu, he was participating in an electronics expo in the provincial capital, and Qin Guanhua asked him to represent Huafeng Electric to participate in the exhibition.
Wang Youdaocai didn't care what he was doing, and immediately told him about the flood in Xiping Village. But Wang Youfa was unusually calm, he said that the exhibition was about to end, and he would rush back overnight after it was over.
Wang Youdao, who hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and when his family was stable, he was in the mood to work hard.
Wang Youcai, who had just come out of the mountain, never thought that his second brother would call him like this, which made him very unhappy. I think that when all the houses in Xiping Village were rebuilt after the disaster, the second brother and eldest brother followed his father and coaxed him, saying that he would not rebuild anything, but he didn't expect that because of this old house, he almost killed his parents.
Wang Youcai thought about his thoughts, took out the key and opened the door of his building. Ni Xiaoli, who was sitting in the living room talking to her mother, asked a little surprised, "Why did you come back?" “
"Xiping Village has been hit by a catastrophic flood, my house has collapsed, I have to rush back to see," Wang Youcai replied a little incorrectly.
When Ni Xiaoli heard this, she stood up with a big belly, and she asked in surprise, "Is what you just said true?" “
"Do you think I can lie to someone about this?" Wang Youcai said, glancing at his mother-in-law who was watching TV. His mother-in-law is in her fifties, dressed up in fancy ways, and when she goes out, people think she is in her forties.
She glared at Wang Youcai and said, "Look at what I'm doing!" Listen to me, even if your house is all down and your parents can't come here, you should remember the first two times."
"Humph! This is my family, and it doesn't seem wrong for parents to go to their son's house," Wang Youcai said a little unhappily.
When Ni Xiaoli's mother heard this, she was so angry that she immediately stood up and shouted: "As soon as they come, I will leave immediately, but I can tell you, after I get out of here, you want to invite me in again."
Wang Youcai wanted to pay tribute in return, he loves to walk! But he glanced at Ni Xiaoli, who had a big belly, and he had to endure it again. Ni Xiaoli's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, if her mother is really gone, the drudgery of taking care of her will fall on her mother again, the key problem is that Chen Yueqin is unwilling to take care of Ni Xiaoli anymore!
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Youcai turned around and walked out of the room. He never thought that this married man was really difficult enough, he knew that he would not get married if he said anything.
Out of the house, Wang Youcai quickly got into his broken jeep. This thing is a little different, but the performance is really good, and when you drive it out, the traffic police don't ask him. If he encounters a traffic jam, as long as he cuts in line, others will let him order.
Wang Youcai was thinking in his heart while starting the car. The family has suffered such a big flood, it must have affected his life and activities, he can't go like this!
Although Wang Youcai is a bastard when he does some things, he is still wholeheartedly filial to his parents. He started the car and went directly to Limin Commercial Bank. As soon as the proprietress saw him stop, she twisted her seductive water snake waist to greet him.
"Hey Boss Wang, it seems that this is the wrong time!" The proprietress Wang Guilan asked with a charming smile.
Wang Youcai walked inside and said with a smile: "People miss you, so come out in advance to see you, can't you?" Wang Youcai said, secretly glancing around. After all, this Wang Guilan is a married woman.
"Alright, you're just! Every time I know that I have a hanging appetite, I don't bother to pay attention to you," Wang Guilan said, pretending to be angry and tilting her head to the side.
Wang Youcai walked over, and when she wasn't paying attention, he reached out and grabbed her buttocks. Wang Guilan exclaimed and hurriedly ran away. Although this is said to be in her own store, if she is seen by outsiders, she will not be able to get over her face.
There was such a big thing at home, and he Wang Youcai didn't dare to mess around here and delay time, so he moved a few bags of noodles to the car, and then put two barrels of oil, and asked Wang Guilan to prepare him with some salt, soy sauce, vinegar and some condiments. Before leaving, he moved another jar of mustard and piled it up in the entire trunk.
As soon as the car arrived in Pingyang Town, Wang Youcai's heart was raised, and he felt that this rainstorm was specially aimed at the Xichuan River. Even in the town, he didn't see a single collapsed courtyard wall or house. But as soon as I passed the town and went up along the Xichuan River, the village next to the Xichuan River was in a mess. Either the house collapsed, or the courtyard wall collapsed.
Several roads were also washed away by the floods. Fortunately, someone repaired the broken road surface in time, otherwise it would have been difficult for the car to drive through.
Originally, it only took more than ten minutes to drive from the town to Xiping Village, but this road twisted and turned. A full hour later, Wang Youcai and the car drove to the gate of his house. In normal times, he would have parked the car at the entrance of the village.
Now he drove the car in, and he had to reverse backwards. Because the road is too narrow, it is really impossible to turn around. Chen Yueqin saw Wang Youcai's car coming, and she hurriedly ran over from the yard.
"Bastard, you still know to come back? Is it that if your second brother doesn't call you, you don't care if we live or die? As soon as Chen Yueqin rushed up, she scolded.
Wang Youcai opened the trunk and said while moving noodles home: "I went into the mountains two days ago, and after I left the mountain this morning, it was my second brother who called me, and I only found out about it."
When Chen Yueqin heard this, she felt that she was a little wrong to blame her son, and when she saw that Wang Youcai had brought so much food to their family, the fire in her heart was instantly spent.
Chen Gui and Wang Lao, who were passing by, saw Wang Youcai moving things home, and these two people also joined forces to help. After a while, all the things in the car were moved to the west house.
Wang Degui slept on the big kang in the west house, closed his eyes tightly and said nothing. After Wang Youcai finished moving all the things in the car, he beckoned the two of them into the house together.
At this time, Wang Degui opened his eyes and said, "Did you two go to the wrong door?" ”
"Dad! As soon as they finished talking for me, you should say a few words" Wang Youcai immediately interrupted his father's words. Chen Gui lowered his head a little embarrassed, while Wang Lao just laughed twice, looking indifferent.
Suddenly, Wang Lao stood up, counted the flour he had just brought in, and said, "Six bags!" The two of you have enough to eat for more than half a year, and this time I brought a lot of things. But the flour I bought here is really delicious."
"You also bought the flour you eat at home?" Chen Yueqin walked in and answered this sentence.
Wang Lao's face suddenly turned stunned, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, my family's own mill, but I have eaten what others bought" Chen Yueqin still wanted to ask, but when she saw that Wang Degui's face was wrong, she quickly closed her mouth.
"Dad! I didn't expect the flood to harm our family like this time, but don't worry, after I return to the city, I will immediately discuss with my second brother and cover all sides of our yard," Wang Youcai said softly to Wang Degui.
Wang Degui glanced at Wang Youcai and said: "Don't worry, go to the village committee tonight, it seems that Ouyang Hong and Xia Jian are there, listen to what they say, and then we will make a decision."
"Ouyang Hong is almost the same, how can Xia Jian care about this?" Wang Youcai said a little disappreciatively.
Wang Degui sneered and said, "You know a fart! Xia Jian is now the honorary mayor of Pingyang Town, although he is a false name, he also has the right to speak, and he can speak better than you and me."
"That's good! I'll take the car back to the entrance of the village first, and then I'll go look for them," Wang Youcai said, and stood up. Chen Gui looked at it and walked out.
Walking to the gate, Chen Gui smiled and said to Wang Youcai: "Let's stay at my house tonight!" My house is big, and I'll have two drinks when the time comes, anyway, were we still good brothers before? “
"Good! If you don't leave tonight, I'll come to you, and we should really have a drink," Wang Youcai said, and jumped into the car.
The last Wang Lao was crooked, keeping his head down, as if he was thinking about something. He watched Wang Youcai's car retreat to the entrance of the village before he lowered his head and went home.
At this time, Xia Jian and Ouyang Hong of the Xiping Village Committee were discussing a matter, which they had been discussing since last night.
