Chapter 114: Unharmed Rainstorm
It was nine o'clock in the evening when Lan Xinrui arrived in Tucheng, and as soon as she arrived at the Tucheng bus station, she got on the special car that came to pick her up. On the way, she kept asking the driver about the damage to Peach Blossom. The driver told her that although the rain was heavy, flash floods and rivers were raging, the people were safe, the people were stable, and the order was normal. The driver comforted her again, rest assured, the peach blossom is heaven, protected by God, and it's fine.
Is Peach Blossom really okay? Lan Xinrui didn't think so, what was rolling in her mind now was the bleak and desolate scene after the peach blossoms were ransacked by the flood demons: corpses were everywhere, broken walls, mountains collapsed, farmland was washed away, wealthy villagers were displaced due to disasters, there was no laughter and noise among the green mountains and green waters, and heaven became the hell of the devil...... It was so terrible that she didn't dare to think about it anymore, she covered her eyes with her hands, and tears poured out from between her slender fingers like a spring.
"Mr. Lan, it's here, it's time to welcome the square." The driver's words made Lan Xinrui suddenly wake up. She rubbed her eyes, poked her head out of the car window, and saw that there was a white expanse outside the car window, and the rain was falling densely on the ground. The light from the lights in the square was swallowed up by the rain and turned into small round bright spots. The tall bodies of the service station and the hotel were completely engulfed by the rain, and there was not a shadow to be seen.
Lan Xinrui pushed Li Liangdong, who was still asleep leaning on the saddle. Li Liangdong seemed to wake up from a nightmare, lost his soul and his face was pale.
"Liangdong, when you get home, look at it, God made such a big noise to greet us, you slept like a dead pig." Lan Xinrui pointed to the overwhelming rain outside the car window.
Li Liangdong wiped his eyes and yawned in a daze: "Where are you?" Why is it raining so hard? ”
The driver turned around: "It's time to Peach Blossom, this is the Welcome Plaza." ”
Li Liangdong didn't believe it: "You kid, you can't be in the wrong place!" ”
Lan Xinrui touched him with her elbow: "You can't talk in a dream, right?" I went to the provincial capital for a few days, and I didn't even know my home. As he spoke, he tried to push the car door, and as soon as he pushed out a crack, the majestic raindrops whistled in. She shuddered and quickly closed the car door.
After waiting in the car for about half an hour, the rain suddenly disappeared without a trace, and the square became clear and bright in an instant, and the service station and hotel building were brightly lit. Lan Xinrui got out of the car, and at the same time, a large group of people rushed out from the gate of the service station. Immediately afterwards, the shout of "Mr. Lan is back, the rain has stopped" made the quiet night sky after the rain boil again. In the crowd, at the forefront was Dong'er.
Dong'er, who had already grown like a little man, waved his arms and rushed like an arrow from a bow.
Lan Xinrui opened her arms and took Dong'er into her arms.
"Mom, I won't let you leave Peach Blossom in the future."
Li Liangdong patted him on the head: "Silly son, her legs are on your mother, she wants to leave, can you control it?" ”
"I just won't let my mother leave, as soon as my mother leaves, the rain will be like a waterfall straight to the peach blossoms, and as soon as my mother comes back, the rain will miraculously stop."
Li Liangdong glanced at him: "Your mother can manage the peach blossoms, but she can't manage the peach blossoms, whether it rains or not is the business of the gods, and your mother is not the gods." ”
Dong'er pursed her mouth and muttered: "My mother is a fairy, and God has to give her seven points." ”
"Nonsense."
"It's supposed to be, or my mother didn't come back, why wouldn't the rain stop?"
"That's a law of nature, and it has nothing to do with your mother. Well, why don't you say it, as soon as Dad comes back, the rain stops. ”
"Dad, don't fight with Mom. If you want to catch up with your mother, you have to be like me, study hard, and make progress every day. ”
"You turtle son, eccentric, help your mother speak."
"If you want me to speak for you, it's okay, you can strengthen the united front first, and stop treating me like a prisoner."
Li Liangdong stretched out his hand to twist Dong'er's face, and Dong'er flashed into the crowd.
Lan Xinrui was talking about the disaster with Xie Lei, Kang Wei, Li Chunsheng, Deng Jiabao, and Li Yinjiao, and didn't care about the argument between Li Liangdong and his son, but the people around him couldn't help but laugh at Dong'er's innocence and grimaces from time to time.
Xie Lei reported to Lan Xinrui in detail about the heavy rain in the peach blossoms in the past few days. After finishing, his face was full of doubts, and he said to himself: "In the past two days, there has always been a mystery hovering in my mind, it is said that this heavy rain and floods are enough to make the peach blossom body incomplete, and even the life is ruined, but the strange thing is that until this afternoon, not a single thing was destroyed, not a single life was injured, the peach blossoms became more and more beautiful, and the village was peaceful and peaceful." Every inch of peach blossoms, every piece of land, seemed to be gilded with gold and silver, and as soon as the rain touched the ground, it all ran away in ashes. ”
Lan Xinrui heard this, and sighed: "This should be thanks to the peach blossom ancestors who have adhered to this pure land for generations, it is they who have shouldered the great responsibility to take care of this holy land, and it is they who are willing to be poor and stick to this pure land. ”
At this time, halfway through the night, the people who had been bound by the rain for two whole days seemed to have lost their sleep, and ran out of their houses, and the people in the square gathered more and more, and the laughter and noise resounded in the peach blossoms after the terrifying thunderstorm.
Li Yinjiao approached Lan Xinrui and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Lan, can you tell us about your harvest from going to the provincial capital this time?" ”
"She has gained a lot from this trip to the provincial capital." Lan Xinrui followed the voice and saw Secretary Yu and his secretary Zeng Zhiwei standing straight behind her.
Lan Xinrui was surprised: "Secretary Yu, it's so late, why did you come to Peach Blossom?" ”
Secretary Yu smiled bitterly: "I came a long time ago, it's the rain of peach blossoms that is too good, and he won't let me go back." ”
Xie Lei said distressedly: "Secretary Yu has been commanding the flood fight and rescue in Taohua for the past few days, and he hasn't returned to the city for two days and hasn't closed his eyes. ”
Lan Xinrui let out a soft "oh", and her eyes focused on Secretary Yu's tired face. She knew in her heart that Secretary Yu was a typical workaholic, and she had a soft spot for Peach Blossom, and Peach Blossom suffered such a big disaster, and it was impossible for him to give up as the secretary of the county party committee. Looking at his obviously haggard and tired look, the scene when Secretary Miao fell suddenly appeared in front of her eyes. For the sake of peach blossoms, a county party secretary has fallen, and if another one falls... Thinking of this, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Secretary Yu, you have worked hard, please protect your body! If you have three longs and two shorts, then I, Lan Xinrui, will become an unforgivable sinner in Tucheng forever. Lan Xinrui's voice was hoarse, and it was obvious that she was talking with her heart.
"I'm not muddy, I can't get out of trouble." Secretary Yu kept rubbing his head with his left hand, and a charming smile of a mature man appeared on his face, "Do you want me to tell you about Mr. Lan's harvest in the provincial capital?" ”
The people around echoed in unison: "Yes, yes, yes." ”
Li Yinjiao didn't believe it, and asked in a mocking tone: "Secretary Yu, how do you know Mr. Lan's harvest in the provincial capital?" Is it a spy to be followed? ”
Secretary Yu slapped his backhand, which was slapping on Li Yinjiao's head, and he said with great humor: "You're right, I'll give you a reward first." ”
Li Yinjiao touched her head and laughed: "This reward is too heavy, I can't afford to enjoy it, let's give it to Comrade Li Chunsheng!" As he spoke, he gave a "snap" on Li Chunsheng's dark forehead.
Li Chunsheng chased after Li Yinjiao, Li Yinjiao hid in the crowd, and the people on the field burst into laughter.
Secretary Yu pressed down with his hands, and the field gradually calmed down: "In the afternoon, Director Huang of the Provincial Tourism Bureau and Mr. Ouyang Sheng called me respectively and gave Mr. Lan a very high evaluation. They said that Mr. Lan's trip to the provincial capital not only stood on the podium as a leader in economic construction and was ceremoniously received by the provincial leaders, but also in the 'paradise on earth. The 'Charming Peach Blossom' press conference shocked Chinese and foreign big-name reporters with its unique language charm, eloquent speech style and fairy-like personality cohesion. The reputation of Lan Xinrui and Peach Blossom has resounded throughout the provincial capital, the whole country and even overseas, and Peach Blossom Tourism will usher in a more brilliant tomorrow. ”
There was applause and cheers on the field. At this time, the sky is cloudy and foggy, and the stars in the sky are exceptionally clear and bright.
"Mr. Lan, tell us about the testimonial of the provincial city to receive the award!" I don't know who in the crowd shouted.
Lan Xinrui waved her hand to the crowd of black oppression, opened the switch, and her voice was full of femininity: "Honor does not belong to me alone, but to everyone who has contributed to the protection of the Pure Land of Peach Blossoms and the development of the world of Peach Blossoms." To say a testimonial, I would first like to thank the ancestors of Peach Blossom, who defended this pure land with poverty, and who used their wisdom to open up the immortal civilization of Peach Blossom. Secondly, I would like to thank the inheritors and pioneers of today's Peach Blossom Civilization, without your hard work, there would be no Peach Blossom today. I would like to thank a good leader like Secretary Yu who worked hard for Peach Blossom and put his personal safety at risk, and at this moment I miss the most is our most beloved Secretary Miao who left the last moment of his life in Peach Blossom. Peach Blossom has come to this day step by step, there are too many characters to sing and cry about, and there are too many touching stories. Comrades, Secretary Yu said well, Peach Blossom will usher in a more beautiful and brilliant tomorrow, but to make this tomorrow really come, we need to concentrate our efforts, think in one place, and work hard in one place; We need to guard against arrogance and rashness, never slack off, and never be satisfied; We need to be not afraid of hardships and dangers, not afraid of difficulties, and dare to meet challenges. ”
"That's a great point!" Another member of the crowd shouted, followed by a tidal wave of applause.
Lan Xinrui continued to greet the applause: "Although the peach blossoms have suffered a flood once in a thousand years, I believe that this difficulty cannot frighten the hard-working and brave peach blossom people. ”
"Peach Blossom hold on!" "Come on, peach blossoms!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted a trumpet, and then, a group of ten, ten and hundred, responded in groups, and the whole square was covered by the sound of a trumpet tearing through the sky.
Listening to the strong sound of the trumpet, Lan Xinrui was shocked, and Secretary Yu was shocked... Many, many people were blown away. This is not only a sound, it is clearly the explosion of the strong cohesion of the peach blossom people, and the passionate release and strong cry of the peach blossom spirit condensed for thousands of years.
At this time, the sound of the rooster announcing the dawn was faintly heard. Lan Xinrui looked at her watch, opened her mouth, and burst out after a while: "It's almost three o'clock, Yinjiao, go to the radio station to inform everyone, hurry up and rest, there are still difficult tasks waiting for everyone to complete tomorrow!" He turned to Secretary Yu with a guilty expression, "Secretary Yu, you haven't closed your eyes for two days, go back and sleep peacefully!" ”
"If you didn't leave, how could I, the secretary of the county party committee, be a deserter?" Secretary Yu asked rhetorically.
Lan Xinrui gave Zeng Zhiwei a look, Zeng Zhiwei understood what he meant, pulled up Secretary Yu and left. Then, she bowed to Li Liangdong again: "Liangdong, call Shangdong'er and go home." ”
