On May 20, 1984, it was just getting dark.

In the entire Chacheng County, the heavy rain is still falling.

It seemed that the sky was overcast, and there was not even the slightest sign that the rain would stop.

Although it is no longer the violent rain in the middle of the night, it still belongs to the category of heavy rain.

"Director Xiao! Director Shaw! ”

Xiao Zhao, a clerk of the Chacheng government, wearing a raincoat and water shoes on his feet, rushed into the yamen compound out of breath and came to the door of Director Xiao's house.

"Bang Bang ......"

He didn't care so much about it, and slapped the door "bang".

After a while, a figure that was neither fat nor thin opened the door and came out, it was Director Xiao who had just been woken up and opened the door.

"Xiao Zhao, you are ......"

He has been under a lot of pressure lately, and he slept in the middle of the night last night, and now Xiao Zhao, who has always done things safely, came to find him, and immediately realized something.

"Director Xiao...... Whew...... It's a big water! ”

"Half an hour ago, the flood peak upstream suddenly arrived, and the river swelled!"

The expression on his face was extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell what the expression was, "The current water level has exceeded the highest water level in August 1 by one foot!" ”

"What's even more terrifying is that the river continues to rise, and there is no sign of subsiding!"

"About thirty and a half of the urban areas of our tea city have been flooded!"

He looked panicked, "If it goes on like this, after half an hour at most, absolutely half of the urban area of Tea City will be flooded!" ”

"Ah......" Director Xiao was immediately stunned, his face turned blue and red, and he couldn't tell whether he was shocked or relieved.

"Is it really a big flood? Is it really much bigger than the flood in June of '81? ”

He froze where he was, muttering to himself.

"I was expected by Wang Qiang's amazing little guy! This major flood happened. ”

"This year's Jiangbei Village is right, listened to Wang Qiang's opinion, and made all preparations for the big flood as early as possible."

"Luckily, I got it right! The time of the county's general mobilization was only one day later than the village-wide mobilization in Jiangbei Village, and it also got a valuable buffer period, and basically completed the flood relief work in the entire tea city in advance! ”

He was relieved, and the huge pressure he had been carrying disappeared in an instant.

"Xiao Zhao, immediately notify the heads of various departments and start the rescue operation according to the original plan!"

"Especially the firefighters and all the people in the public gate, one by one, they all moved for me!"

"We must let everyone rush to the front line of flood fighting and disaster relief to minimize the loss of life and property of the affected people!"

"If you go to convey the order immediately, just say that I said it, whoever dares to shirk responsibility, I dare to let him get off the horse immediately!"

The big flood came as scheduled, and it was really the kind of super flood that happened once in 30 years.

This soul-level cadre in charge of the tea city directly ordered the whole county to do a good job in flood fighting and disaster relief work nine days ago, and he took a huge risk.

Today, in an instant, he has been greatly rewarded.

Soon, he will establish an unparalleled prestige in the tea city.

Indeed, the previous order for the county-wide mobilization was not something that ordinary people dared to give.

That's just taking your own future and fighting for it!

It was a success, and the harvest was unprecedented.

failed, it is estimated that it will soon take a back seat and obediently retire.

Luckily, he succeeded, perfectly.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the order he gave to the general mobilization of the whole county nine days ago is worth even more than the city.

That order, at least the entire tea city in this super flood, reduced the loss of people and property by more than half, I don't know how many poor families were saved.

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhao, who was also a veteran, "snapped", stood up and saluted, and then turned around and ran.

He has been following Director Xiao for several years, and he knows that this director who is dedicated to the people has a vigorous and resolute temperament, and he has naturally learned a little.

Watching Xiao Zhao leave to convey his order, Director Xiao couldn't stay any longer, hurriedly turned around and went home, said to his wife and children who had just gotten up, and finished washing up in two clicks.

Then, putting on a raincoat and carrying an umbrella, he went out of the house and strode towards the office of the yamen.

He had to stay by the telephone today, in a state of high tension at all times, giving hundreds of orders of all kinds.

It can be said that the time for work has not yet arrived, and he is destined to be very busy today.

……

Since this once-in-30-year flood has come to Chacheng as scheduled, Wang Qiang doesn't need to think about it, and can speculate on some actions of the Chacheng government and the Jiangbei Village Committee.

However, he didn't think much of it.

He has done his duty and has a clear conscience.

Wang Qiang knows that next, the tea city will stop raining tomorrow and be sunny for two days.

Late tonight, the water will begin to recede.

Then there is an intermittent rainy season of seven or eight days, not big or small, and finally after entering June, Chacheng County will usher in a sunny day that lasts for two months.

Just from the direction of Lion Rock, Wang Qiang also heard the earth-shattering cheers.

His face was a little blue and red for a while, and he was really speechless.

Damn!

It is estimated that throughout the ages, there may have been a situation like Jiangbei Village just now: when the flood came, not only did everyone not have any panic, but also cheered in unison!

This is definitely unprecedented.

"Brother, come up to the balcony on the third floor and come to see the water!"

"Brother, what a flood!"

"This great water! It's a little too big! Most of Jiangbei Village was flooded! ”……

At this time, he should have been woken up by the earth-shattering cheers coming from the direction of Lion Rock in Jiangbei Village, and then hurriedly got up and came to his sister on the balcony on the third floor, shouting loudly.

It was the first time they had seen such a big flood.

That's a lot more than it was three years ago.

Don't look at the current water level, it is only about one meter higher than the big flood in June of August 1.

But even this height of one meter requires a very large amount of water to fill.

After all, as the area ravaged by the flood grows larger and larger, the amount of water needed for every inch of water that is needed is unimaginable.

With this one-meter higher water level, there will definitely be two or three percent more land in the flooded places in the whole county of Chacheng.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one meter of heaven and one meter of hell.

Hearing his sister's shouts, Wang Qiang got up, washed up, and regained his senses.

He even brought boiling water and excellent tea leaves, brewed a pair of Qingshen tea, and then took a set of tea utensils, held them together with tea trays, and came to the big balcony on the third floor unhappily.

Here, one south and one north, there are two sets of stone tables and chairs made of large bluestone and finely carved.

He placed the large tea tray on a stone table and shouted to the four girls, "Don't be in a hurry, the current situation is only to go with the flow, and it is useless to be anxious." ”

"It's better to come and sit down, drink a cup of refreshing tea, and refresh yourself."

He looked at the girls who were a little sleepy-eyed, and he didn't know where they were still a little confused because they got up early today.

After all, it's not even six o'clock in the morning, which is the best time for a person to sleep.

"Oh, here we go!"

"Brother, we haven't washed our faces yet, let's go to the bathroom on the third floor to wash up before coming over."

"Well, brother, you help each of us fill a cup of Qingshen tea first, and we'll come back when we go. Then look at the big water and have a cup of tea, which is also very good. ”

The fields and forests of their own fields, mountains and forests, the precautionary work that should be done have been done, and now that the flood is coming, it is useless to be anxious.

It's better to sit down and drink a cup of excellent Qingshen tea as my brother said, refresh yourself, and then look at the big water.

After a while, several girls turned around and sat around the big stone table with Wang Qiang.

While admiring the great flood like an ocean, everyone drank hot tea and chatted.

From a distance, it seems to have a unique poetry.
