Chapter 114 He Wants to Become a Superior Again
As the night deepened, everyone gradually fell asleep.
In the silence, one can occasionally hear the sound of slapping mosquitoes, a man's snoring and a baby crying.
After experiencing the comfort of sleeping in the alley, Zhou Rong and his friends spent every night outside like everyone else.
There was only a 110*200 cm bamboo bed at home. Zhou Rong and his family slept on a cool mat. Even with mosquito coils, they were still easily bitten by insects. So Zhou Rong secretly copied two bamboo beds at home and hired a cart to transport them home after get off work.
As long as it doesn't rain, Zhou Rong and his friends rest outside every day, chatting, listening to stories, reciting books, eating ice cream, and experiencing a different summer.
When camping outdoors, the only thing to worry about is rain in the middle of the night, especially a sudden downpour. After a flurry of activity, everyone will be soaked.
But everyone's enthusiasm for setting up bamboo beds remains unabated, and every night...
At the end of June, the rain increased, sometimes it rained all night long. The streets were full of water, making travel very inconvenient, and the bamboo bed formation could not be set up.
Zhou Rong bought a pair of rain boots for each member of his family to prevent them from walking around barefoot in the water and getting their feet rotten.
Zhou Rong recalled the plot in the original book. There was a flood in Hong'an Township in July and August. Because Zhoujiawan and Yanglinpo were relatively high in terrain, the houses were not flooded, only the crops were destroyed.
But those in low-lying areas were in a more tragic situation. In addition to the destruction of crops, the houses were flooded. Standing in their own attics, they could touch the water with their hands. They were trapped for more than ten days before they were rescued.
Zhou Rong wrote a letter to his mother, saying that there was more rain this year and the crops in the fields might be affected. He asked her to stock up more food and also tell the village chief Zhou Chuanyi the news to prepare emergency measures.
The original book did not mention Jiangcheng's situation during the flood. Zhou Rong wanted to be prepared for any eventuality, so he started stockpiling food.
Zhou Gui and Zhou Cai are both careful people, and everything must be checked by them so as not to arouse suspicion.
Zhou Rong brought home dozens or hundreds of kilograms of food that could be bought on the market.
She also went to the health center to buy some "Aspirin" for treating fever, as well as herbs such as honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, plantain, Houttuynia cordata, and alum for clearing away heat and detoxifying. She also went to the pharmacy to buy some.
Take some home and put it in the open, and put some in a space for future use.
Seeing that Zhou Rong never left her bicycle handlebars or back seat empty after get off work every day, Zhou Cai asked in confusion, "Sister, why do you buy so much food and medicine to take home?"
Zhou Rong: "It rains every day, and I feel uneasy. I am afraid that we will not be able to go out after the water rises, and there will be nothing to eat at home."
The water on the road had not receded yet, and a new round of rain continued. Zhou Cai was still worried, but she had food at home, so she was not worried. She stopped asking questions and helped Zhou Rong put away the things he had bought...
In addition to stockpiling food for himself, Zhou Rong also suggested that Jiang Wenjuan and Xu Man stockpile food together.
Jiang Wenjuan said that her family has stockpiled food. Jiangcheng has heavy rains every summer, and the floods in 31 years were up to people's necks. They are all experienced people.
Jiang Wenjuan told Zhou Rong that if water entered the house, he should quickly move things from the first floor to the second floor to prevent them from being damaged by the water.
Zhou Rong asked her why she didn't run away when her house was flooded.
Jiang Wenjuan said: "Run? There are more than one million people in Jiangcheng. Where to run to? By then, the mountains and rooftops will be full of people, and there won't even be shacks.
Once the river rises, all the towns along the river will be affected. The more you run, the more dangerous it will be. It is better to stay at home, prepare enough food, and be safer.
The current government is not the reactionary army of the past. They will not ignore the people and the riverbank. Staying at home honestly and not asking the government to provide disaster relief and not causing trouble for them can also be considered as contributing to the organization. "
Xu Man told Xue Wanyi about Zhou Rong's suggestion to stockpile grain. She was also worried about the recurrence of the great flood in 31, so she hurriedly ordered the nanny at home to buy a large amount of grain.
Luo Qiuyue saw Zhou Rong transporting food home every day. Considering her childhood experience of encountering a flood, she also took Ma Daya to buy food.
Many elderly people who had experienced the great flood in 31 had accumulated some experience. Seeing that the heavy rain would continue to fall, they stored food at home...
The rain kept falling and the water level kept rising. In early July, the municipal government mobilized citizens to participate in flood control and rescue operations, and quickly organized 7 soldiers and civilians to stay on the embankment.
Flood control site
Banners reading "As long as people are there, the dike will remain. When the water level rises, the dike will rise higher. Defend the flood and defend the city of Jiangnan" were hung all over the dikes along the river.
In order to support Jiangcheng's flood control, various supplies such as sacks, straw bags, reeds, sorghum stalks, reed mats, earthen winnowing baskets, and anchors were urgently transported to Jiangcheng from all over the country.
Each unit is equipped with a flood fighting and rescue team and flood prevention reserve personnel, and the employees responsible for patrolling the dikes patrol the dikes at the dock day and night.
All staff members of the Party and government organs stayed at their posts, and some cadres even participated in the front-line rescue work.
Tao Fen and other members of the neighborhood committee would inspect the residential areas under their jurisdiction every day. If they found a family that was flooded and could not live there and had no second floor to take shelter from the water, they would ask them to move to the mountains...
Zhou Jiafu, who works in an iron factory, and Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiashun and Zhou Jiashan, who work on a steel factory construction site, responded to the organization's call and signed up for the flood fighting and rescue team.
Yang Jinlin also signed up. He felt that this flood would be his chance to turn things around.
He was fed up with working like a slave in the teahouse and being scolded at will.
He will also never forget the night when he went to the countryside with his manager to collect tea. He was deliberately left behind in the countryside by his manager. It was dark and he had nowhere to go, so he could only stay overnight at a nearby farmer's house.
The other party was worried that he was a bad guy, so they didn't let him into the house and asked him to rest in a small thatched house outside.
Because he was too tired and it was pitch dark, he fell asleep on the straw on the ground.
The more he slept, the hotter he felt. He thought the other party had a change of heart and gave him a quilt. It was not until dawn that he saw clearly that he had slept with a fat pig all night.
If the pig had grunted at night, he wouldn't have slept so soundly.
A feeling of sadness and hatred swept over his body, and Yang Jinlin immediately swore that he would become a superior person again and never suffer such humiliation again!
If others don't give him opportunities, he will fight for them himself.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. As long as he can make contributions in this flood relief and rescue operation, he will find a way to get back everything he has lost.
If anything happens to him, just accept it as his fate.
It is better to die on the front line of flood control than to be ordered around by others and never have a chance to make a breakthrough...
On a rainy day, Ma Gensheng and Du Chunhua died one after another.
The two men had sores all over their bodies and smelled terrible. The people who were helping to bury them did not dare to get close to them. They felt better after wearing two masks, but they demanded more money before they agreed to continue working.
The road was full of water, making it difficult to walk. It was very difficult to transport the body to the suburbs for burial, and the widowed husband also asked for more money.
Since the person was dead, Luo Qiuyue no longer cared about this little thing. Besides, everyone earned their money through hard work, so she agreed to the request for more money.
After handling the funerals of Ma Gensheng and Du Chunhua, Luo Qiuyue threw away all the things used by the two, sprinkled lime in the house, and burned mugwort to kill bacteria.
Ma Jianmin was craving for coolness a few days ago, eating several popsicles a day and even wished he could sleep with an ice cube in his arms. He has been in a very bad mood recently and cannot eat even half a bowl of rice. He often curls up and cries in pain in the middle of the night. Going to the clinic for injections did not work and instead made his condition worse.
Luo Qiuyue knew that her father's revenge was finally coming to an end...
