After summer began, the flood prevention situation suddenly became severe.

Xiapu County is located at the mouth of Zhujiang River. The surface of the Xiapu River in Zhujiang River is wide. The flood peaks in the upper reaches will basically flatten the open river surface, and the flood prevention situation is not serious.

However, the Meixi River, Yuxi River and other main streams descending from Yushan Dongling have short processes and curved river channels, which are not conducive to flood discharge. The terrain of Yushan Dongling is conducive to gathering rainwater, and it is easy to form short and destructive flood peaks.

Most of the river sections in Yushan County are bound by the hilly terrain and cannot be indulged. However, when you leave Yushan County and enter Xiapu County, as the terrain suddenly opens, the vast river water will become more and more raging.

For a long time, the flood prevention situation in Xiapu County in spring and summer has been more severe in the urban area and the Jiangping, Xinjin and other counties to the west and north.

There is not much rain in the rainy season of Donghua plum blossoms, but in July, the rain has not stopped. The water levels of major rivers such as Meixi and Yuxi have been rising for several consecutive days, which makes everyone's hearts gradually tense and they dare not relax a little.

Chen Huai was the secretary and the county magistrate. He had a heavy responsibility. He was nailed to the county these days and did not dare to leave easily. Tao Jixing's organizational relationship had been transferred to the city, but he still served as the county people's congress director and had not stepped down. He stayed in Xiapu these days.

When Qi Jingyao came back from participating in poverty alleviation work in the city, she looked for Chen Huai all over the world.

The city hopes that Xiapu County can put in more resources to promote this assistance work, but the county has to pay money without Chen Huai nodding, and Qi Jingyao, as the deputy secretary, also instructed anyone not to touch.

Now that the city is waiting for a response, Qi Jingyao can only ask Chen Huai to report on his work, and wait for him to nod and let go.

After several phone calls, Qi Jingyao took a car back to the county. When he saw Du Jian, who was guarding the county party committee, he asked him with resentment: "In broad daylight, where did Secretary Chen go? Call his cell phone and always prompt to turn off the phone."

"Secretary Chen was on the river bank of Yuxi in the afternoon, and his phone accidentally got into the water. If you have any urgent matters, I will help you contact Wang Weicheng." Du Jian said.

Seeing that Du Jian picked up the phone on his desk, Qi Jingyao had no intention of talking directly with Chen Huai, she said to Du Jian: "It's still about poverty alleviation work. The city needs to make unified arrangements. I hope Xiapu County can cooperate more actively. Some things need Secretary Chen nodding..."

Du Jian called Wang Weicheng's mobile phone, briefly talked about the situation here, and quickly told Qi Jingyao Chen Huai's response: "Secretary Chen asked you to go to the Sandu Flood Control Site, and he is waiting for you there..."

Qi Jingyao looked at the sky getting darker outside the window and the rain was not getting lighter. She drove in the city for a long time and felt sore back. She didn't want to run to the township again at this time.

However, without waiting for Qi Jingyao to react, Du Jian hung up the phone in his hand. Whether Qi Jingyao wants to go to Sanwu Town to see Chen Huai is up to her to decide.

Chen Huai was so angry that Qi Jingyao was filled with fire, but he didn't want to find a chance to scold Chen Manzi. He gritted his teeth and turned around to notify the secretary and driver to accompany her to Sanwu.

Sanwu Town is located in the northwest corner of Xiapu County, Dongyuxi and Beiyuxi converge into the Yuxi River in Sanwu Town. What dangers are required for flood prevention work? Sanwu Town is most likely to appear. The county has no funds yet, so the embankments along the section of the Yuxi River are thoroughly reinforced. Every flood prevention season, Sanwu Town is the focus of flood prevention work in the whole county. Shenhuai also went to Sanwu Town three times in a week, and specially asked the county standing committee members and county people's armed forces minister to command the flood prevention work on site.

Qi Jingyao took a car out of the county and headed west, and it was getting darker.

Last year, the hardening project of township roads was progressing very quickly, and the roads from the county to the three-stained waste were replaced with asphalt pavement, which was not difficult to walk.

However, it was dark and there were no street lights along the road. The road was slippery and people broke in the road from time to time. The driver did not dare to drive the express train. When they arrived at Sandu, the sky was already pitch black.

At the intersection entering Sanwu Town, someone called a flashlight. Seeing a car coming, he shone the flashlight for a few times. When the car stopped here, the person ran over and introduced to Qi Jingyao:

"Hello, Secretary Qi, I am Wang Bing, deputy mayor of Sanwu Town. Secretary Chen is on the scene. I am afraid that you will not admit it, so I will come and wait for you on the roadside."

When the car drove to the village entrance, many people moved out at night to block the wide village road, so the cars could not drive in.

Fortunately, the rain fell at this time, Qi Jingyao held an umbrella and surrounded by the driver, secretary, and deputy mayor of Sanwu Town Wang Bing and others, walking towards a bright place in front.

When I walked through the village, I looked like there was not a river embankment in front of me, but dozens of people were surrounded by black and dirty people. I picked up two large gas lamps with bamboo poles, illuminating the scene as bright as day. More than ten people gathered to demolish a house.

The rain slid past my eyes, like transparent silk threads.

Qi Jingyao didn't understand how Chen Huai inspected flood prevention work and demolished the house on the spot.

Qi Jingyao walked forward two steps and saw several people dragging a woman out. The woman's face was covered in mud and she couldn't tell what she looked like. Her legs were dragged in mud and water, probably not struggling, but her mouth was still cursing, and her clothes were buttoned off, revealing her dark belly.

Qi Jingyao couldn't understand what the woman was scolding, but she didn't know why people were arrested on the flood prevention site, so she looked at the deputy mayor of Sanwu Town in confusion.

Wang Bing wiped sweat from his forehead and said, "There was a small landslide in a section of the river bank. The problem was not very big. However, Secretary Chen attached great importance to it and asked the town to strengthen it before dawn. Now it is dark, and it is too late to transfer materials from other places. There are several stone houses next to the river bank. The town decided to demolish the house and obtain materials, but it is impossible to negotiate compensation with the owner - now it may be a tough measure."

"It takes less than two hours to pull a few trucks of cement from Xinpu. Now you are going to demolish other people's houses. If you can't agree to compensation, take tough measures. Have you ever considered the feelings of the masses? Tough words are also instructed by Secretary Chen?" Qi Jingyao looked at the woman struggling in the mud and asked with a frown.

"I don't know the situation yet, I'll go over and ask." Wang Bing said hurriedly as he heard Qi Jingyao's bad tone and did not dare to get into trouble.

"Don't ask, it's my instructions."

At this time, Qi Jingyao suddenly saw Chen Huai wearing a raincoat and sitting barefoot on the ridge of the road. The light was very dark, and Chen Huai was wearing a dark raincoat. They walked over and didn't see anyone sitting on the roadside watching.

Seeing him holding a cigarette and a lighter in his hand, Qi Jingyao thought that he had just sat down and wanted to smoke a cigarette to rest.

Chen Huai stood up, looked at Qi Jingyao, and said, "The water level has risen. It is too late to transport steel and cement to reinforce the river embankment. It is also necessary to use the old method to drill wooden stakes and lay stones. You have little experience at the scene. For some things, you should listen to the opinions of grassroots cadres more..."

He asked Chen Huai to show his lesson inexperienced. Although Qi Jingyao was angry, he had no choice. However, seeing the deputy mayor of Sanwu Town breathed a sigh of relief, he also knew that she was not qualified to compete with Chen Huai at the scene.

Chen Huai put the cigarette and the lighter into his pocket and walked towards the woman who was dragging it out of the demolition site. At this time, the woman was still rolling in mud and water. He signaled the staff to let go, squat down, take off the hood of the raincoat, and reveal his face and said to her:

"I am Chen Huai, the county party secretary. Now there is a dangerous situation in the Yuxi River. Wooden stakes and stones are urgently needed to strengthen the embankment. In this case, everyone has the obligation to make contributions, and there is no situation where you agree or not. For more reasons, I don't have time to tell you that afterwards, the county will also give corresponding compensation based on the actual losses suffered by your family. This compensation has standards. If the town deducts your family's compensation, you can come to the county to find me again. If nothing else, your family will also move to a safe place with other people. Before the danger is eliminated, the county should prevent the situation from happening, and there will be no people left on the embankment. This is also responsible to your people. I hope you can understand and cooperate with our work..."

I don’t know if it was because of the struggle with Guang’s strength just now, or because the county party secretary who was barefoot and wearing a black raincoat, was scared. After Shen Huai’s words, the woman calmed down and didn’t make any noise.

Seeing that the woman was quiet, Chen Huai called Wang Bing, deputy mayor of Sanwu Town, and ordered: "The town must place the few households who demolished the house and collected materials today, and compensate them as soon as possible, and report them separately afterwards. The principles must be discussed, and we must also talk about the feelings of the masses."

Chen Huai waved his hand and asked the two staff members to accompany the woman down.

Wang Weicheng took a pair of rain boots, Chen Huai took it, and sat on the side of the road wearing rain boots. Only then did Qi Jingyao see a big hole in the outer edge of Chen Huai's right sole, and blood water seeping out.

She realized that the reason Chen Huai was barefoot must be that the pair of shoes had cut something for the previous one.

At this time, the Party Secretary of Sanwu Town came over and asked with concern: "Do you want to call the doctor to come and give me a bag?"

Chen Huai shook his head and said, "You don't need to care about my feet. You will nail them to the river bank today. If the rain is heavy in the second half of the night and there is another danger in the river bank, do you need to withdraw or how to withdraw? You must have a clear idea. Another thing is that you have to remember that even if you want to withdraw, as the Party Secretary, you and Minister Liu will be the last one to withdraw. There is no easy way to be a Communist official, you must be clear."

Chen Huai changed his rain boots and stepped on it on the spot. He felt that there was no problem, so he said to Qi Jingyao: "Secretary Qi, accompany me to walk the river embankment again, and then we will go back to the county. The rain will be less tonight, but there is no way to relax our vigilance. There may be heavy rain tomorrow or the day after tomorrow..." He glanced at Qi Jingyao's exquisite red high heels, and without saying anything, he walked directly to the river embankment.

Qi Jingyao didn't think anything at first. She waited on the muddy river bank and suffered a lot. Her red high heels were ruined. She took off her shoes and stepped on them barefoot in the mud. She almost gritted her teeth and moved forward with Chen Huai step by step.

Temporary routes were drawn on the river embankment, and a piece of light was drawn so that workers could strengthen the river embankment for construction.

There were militia and young and middle-aged people in nearby villages. Seeing Qi Jingyao like this and her secretary walking behind with her shoes, her eyes were all weird, and Qi Jingyao wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it, but she also hated Chen Huai to death. He knew that Chen Huai was pulling her up to the dike to see that she was ugly. He didn't know whether she wanted it at this time, so he asked the secretary to throw away her shoes.

At this moment, Wang Weicheng came over with his cell phone and said, "Luo Qing's phone number, he has something to look for you..."

"What's the matter with Luo Qing?" Chen Huai stopped, saw that his phone had already been hung up, and asked in confusion.

"He was on the way to Xiapu. It was not very convenient to drive and talk. I told him that we were in Sanwu and he would arrive in a while."
