As the stagnant water in the urban area gradually receded, some people in Zhang Lan's family homes began to organize the pumping of stagnant water in the basement of the family homes. Aunt Zhang Lan, who has lived in Zhang Lan's house for more than ten days, also wants to return to the community in the city to see the situation in the community.

Zhang Lan drove her aunt back to the community, his sister-in-law Yang Quansheng was working in other places, and when the flood came, he wanted to come back, but the train traffic had been cut off, and he needed to find a way to take the bus back from the highway after arriving in the commercial market.

At that time, there were already rescue workers from all over the country and vehicles pulling relief materials on the highway, and the traffic police had already begun to carry out traffic control. In addition, Zhang Lan took her aunt to her home in Qingshan Village, Yang Quansheng resigned from the factory, and waited for a few days after the factory approved the salary to settle the salary.

Zhang Lan drove downstairs to her own house in the family home, greeted her neighbors and asked about the situation. The house Zhang Lan bought was a family home of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and someone said hello and arranged for a large pumping machine to pump water outward. At present, all communities in the city have arranged pumping of water, except for some large communities that have arranged water pumping, and the rest are self-organized pumping.

Zhang Lan looked at the traces of stagnant water on the first floor of the community, which was about one meter and a half, and the residents on the first floor were cleaning up all the things in the house.

Others are cleaning their cars in the parking spaces of the community, and many more are calling the insurance company, waiting for the insurance company to come and tow the car.

I went upstairs and opened the door to look at the window, and by the way, I used a spell to clean up the moisture in the room and open the window for ventilation.

There was still no water and electricity in the house, Zhang Lan went downstairs to transfer the gas money from her mobile phone to the people who were watching the pump pump on the side, and chatted a few words by the way. The power supply is now being repaired, and a temporary line will be connected to power first. Others will not be able to restore power until the water in the basement is pumped out and dried for maintenance.

Now there is nothing to do in the family home except for the first floor, and most of the things just need to wait for the money. Coming out of the family home, Zhang Lan turned to the gate of the community of her aunt's house, and after making a phone call, Aunt Zhang Lan came out of the community and got into the car.

The same is true of Aunt Zhang Lan's house, now the property in the community is organizing personnel to pump the stagnant water in the basement, and the power supply will be temporarily supplied in two days, and the water supply will wait until after the electricity is turned on.

When I returned home, I was embarrassed when I talked about the situation in the city. Canghe has never been so flooded, and the village elders say that the same flood flowed through the village's river decades ago, and the city was safe and sound.

I flipped through my phone, and there were all kinds of theories. One of the theories is that the inland river that runs through the city center was buried under the city by the city. As a result, the water in the city is drained very slowly, and it is all treated by the pumping station at the confluence of the two moats.

Seeing the inland river, Zhang Lan picked up her mobile phone to call Zhang Hu, and the phone rang for a while before it was connected. Zhang Lan asked Zhang Hu where he was, and Zhang Hu's voice was hoarse on the phone, saying that he was at home.

Zhang Lan rode the tram to Zhang Hu's house, and when she entered the house and saw the situation in front of her, her heart jumped. Fang Xia was sitting on the sofa holding her daughter Zhang Miaomiao's eyes were red, and when she saw Zhang Lan entering the room, she squeezed a smile and greeted: "Zhang Lan, you're here." ”

Uncle Zhang Lan sat on the sofa with a straight face and didn't speak, and Zhang Hu sat on a stool and smoked dejectedly.

Seeing this, Zhang Lan and Uncle Zhang Dajiang, who was sitting on the sofa, said: "Uncle, I have something to ask Brother Hu for help, let's go, Brother Hu." Say, he beckoned to Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu got up and followed Zhang Lan out, and after coming out, Zhang Hu asked Zhang Lan in a hoarse voice: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Lan got on the tram, patted the back seat and said, "Get on the train first." ”

Zhang Lan rode a bicycle and took Zhang Hu to the old mansion, and the old mansion was still the same. Fortunately, Zhang Lan strengthened the earth cliff behind the house, and now the old houses on both sides are already in a mess, not to mention the landslide of the earth cliff for the time being, and the house has also collapsed due to continuous rain.

opened the courtyard door and led Zhang Hu into the hall. took out a can of beer from the refrigerator and threw it to Zhang Hu, and asked casually, "Do you want to eat something?" ”

Zhang Hu breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the sofa, opened the beer, took a sip and said, "Just make a dish, if you don't have it, you won't be successful." ”

Zhang Lan looked in the refrigerator, took out a piece of beef and cut it in the kitchen, and got some fried peanuts and poured them on the plate. He put the plate on the table, took two pairs of chopsticks and a can of beer from the kitchen, and then sat on the sofa and drank with Zhang Hu.

After taking a few sips, Zhang Lan asked while holding the peanuts, "What's going on today?" Quarreled? ”

"There was no quarrel. It's just that something happened and said a few words. Zhang Hu said while drinking, and by the way, he got up and took out a few more cans from the refrigerator.

"Whether it's a business or not, no one can predict this flood, just wait a while." Zhang Lan was comforted.

"It's okay, I can fix it. I just didn't expect luck to be so bad. Zhang Hu opened another can.

"If there's nothing to do, drink less, and go back after this can is finished. If there's anything I can't solve, call me then. Zhang Lan said.

After drinking the beer, he ate almost the appetizers, and seeing that it was not early, Zhang Lan sent Zhang Hu back.

At dinner in the evening, Zhang Lan asked her mother, "What happened to Zhang Hu?" When I went to look for him today, how did I see him and my uncle getting angry there? ”

"It's not about contracting the construction site, and all the money earned from the flood has been returned. I also lost a lot of money, and the water station can't be opened now. Zhang Lan's mother said.

"No one can do anything about this business in the event of a natural disaster, just earn it back later." Knowing that he lost money because of the flood, Zhang Lan didn't care.

"Losing money is a trivial matter, the problem is that everyone in the village said that Zhang Hu borrowed money from many people in the village. Now that others are asking him for money, they know that he doesn't know where to spend the money he earns, and now he owes a lot of money outside. ”

"When I called him before, he said that the advance payment for the construction site was enough to contract the entire construction site, plus the money earned by the water station in the past few months and the water ticket money. What does he borrow money for? Her mother's words made Zhang Lan a little incredulous.

"Who knows, there's not a penny right now anyway. In the past few days, people who have houses in the city have asked him for money to redecorate their houses, but he can't get a penny, and he is still the one your uncle gave money to. Zhang Lan's mother said.

"Then Uncle and Fang Xia didn't ask him where he got the money?" Qin Yongjun asked after listening to it.

"I asked, but he just didn't say. Ask him if he gambled, and he said no, or Zhang Lan, you go back and ask him, and see what he did with the money. Zhang Lan's mother made a proposal.

"I don't even know what he borrowed money from, what can I ask." Zhang Lan rejected her mother's proposal.

After eating and thinking about what her mother said about Zhang Hu, Zhang Lan sighed, took out the phone and called Tian Qingyong.

"What's wrong, Zhang Lan?" Tian Qingyong is not in Canghe now, he went to study in other places before the rainstorm, and I heard that he will be transferred away when he returns.
