In mid-May, the first signal came from the Hefei branch. Due to the rainfall for several days, the feed factory's raw materials became moldy. Li Lei immediately made arrangements to ask them to adjust their production plans and prepare for flood prevention. The head of the branch was a little hesitant. He felt that although the rain this year was indeed worse than last year, it would not reach the level of flooding, right? Adjusting the production plan would result in a loss of production capacity.

Li Lei strictly demanded that he must follow his orders. At the same time, if the factory's efficiency is reduced due to his orders, he will not be punished during the year-end assessment. However, if he is not prepared properly and the flood will cause losses to the factory, he will be fired.

The people in the feed factory finally had nothing to say, and the same is true for Liang Tiansheng of the breeding farm, but the problems they encountered were more serious, because the feed factory adjusted its production plan, at most it would be necessary to reduce raw material procurement and sales. They also had to deal with the chickens and pigs in the breeding farm.

If there is a big flood, these chickens and pigs will definitely not be able to escape. Even if they can't flood here, the feed supply will be cut off. Because this flood has a great impact on Hefei and traffic has been cut off a lot. Even if you can still enter and exit by then, I'm afraid the road will be occupied by disaster relief troops. Can they still transport feed?

For commercial chickens, pigs can be disposed of directly at a cheap price. Even if they are not available for sale, they are better than watching them starve to death. Parents will send them to a farm nearest to Hangzhou or Shanghai, and will be transported back after they are restored.

The fertilizer plant is not idle either. After the flooding, the aerobic respiration at the roots of crops is inhibited, the nutrient supply capacity is weakened, and the nutrient decomposition ability is reduced, and the tender shoots will wilt or even wither. At the same time, due to the strengthening of anaerobic respiration, the accumulation of substances such as ethanol, pyruvate, lactic acid and other substances will be caused, causing toxicity.

At this time, some measures should be taken to save the harvest. First, naturally, drain water as soon as possible, then top dressing in time and spray pesticides to prevent pests and diseases. Therefore, Li Lei also asked the fertilizer factory to start working overtime to produce fertilizers and pesticides.

At the same time, they were asked to provide targeted training for their employees and teach them how to deal with floods. They should first clean up the home’s fine and soft materials in advance. After the floods occur, they should go to relatively safe places. At this time, don’t worry about the things at home. Saving lives is the first priority.

In addition, the feed factory and the warehouses of the farm were vacated, carefully inspected them everywhere, and then repaired them to prepare for flood prevention. After they packed them, the food factory sent ham sausages and instant noodles continuously. In addition, it purchased a large number of lifebuoys, life jackets, various medicines and other supplies in these places, so that they could come in handy when the flood came.

This flood affected 18 provinces, five of which were more serious. AH and Jiangsu provinces were the most powerful. Hefei, Hangzhou and Shanghai have their own factories, which can be prepared more fully. Li Lei did not ignore it in other places. He arranged people to rent warehouses in places with higher terrain and less affected by the flood, and also made preparations in advance.

The trucks in each branch have been specially inspected and must be adjusted to the best condition. They have also been specially trained. Lifebuoys, lifebuoys and first aid kits are also prepared on the cars. Huongnong recruits many veterans and many medical soldiers, which makes it convenient for them to train.

At first, the workers felt it was a bit new, and it was inevitable that they would be bored to work in the factory every day. It was quite interesting to change projects occasionally, but after a long time, they felt bored, so strange words came out. At the same time, suppliers and customers also had considerable opinions on their production cuts, and the management of the Hefei branch was under a lot of pressure.

By June, employees' strange words and customers' complaints were reduced a lot, because from June 8 to 15, the average rainfall in Hefei reached more than 250 mm, and in a few areas it was even as high as 357 mm, four to five times that of normal years.

Now, not only the workers who are well-behaved in the training did not dare to laugh. Even the local government responded and quickly dispatched elite personnel to form a flood control team, but they did not expect how powerful the flood would be.

The land with heavy rainstorms in mid-June has not yet dried up. Thick rainstorms have dropped from the end of June to the beginning of July, with rainfall higher than last time. The city is 490 mm, Feidong, Feixi and Changfeng reaching 548,480 and 402 mm respectively. Now everyone realizes the seriousness of the problem.

Li Lei also rushed to purchase and transport materials. Even if this would affect the normal operation of Huinong, he would not hesitate to do so. The veteran drivers in the factory took batches of materials from all over the surrounding areas to warehouses in Hefei, Nanjing and other cities where floods would occur.

In addition to supplies, Li Lei also made preparations for personnel. He set up a volunteer team with veterans as the backbone in Huinong. After the flood occurred, he would take them to the scene as soon as possible to assist local cadres and the army in doing something within their ability.

On the afternoon of July 11, the disaster finally came. The first place to encounter floods was Sanhe. At that time, the heavy rain was getting worse and stronger. The water level of the outer river exceeded the warning level by 2.23 meters, and the Xinwei section of Yangpo Dike collapsed; the flood rushed out of the embankment like a wild horse that broke out of the dam and spread to the block, and the five-meter-high waves were empty. In just 23 minutes, the flood filled 4.6 square kilometers with lightning speed. The prosperous ancient town was vast and all factories and shops were spared. Sanhe suffered a catastrophe.

Shortly after the disaster, the disaster relief team arrived at the scene as soon as possible. More than 1,000 PLA ​​commanders and fighters, armed police officers and public security officers worked hard to carry out rescue. The rescue personnel rowed small boats, walked through the streets and alleys, and rescued a group of people from the dangerous houses and roofs. From the afternoon of July 11 to July 15, Sanhe Town safely transferred more than 6,000 people surrounded by floods.

These people were placed in a safe place for the time being, but because the flood came too suddenly and too big, they almost didn't bring anything when they were rescued, which was cold and hungry. The local government also prepared some food for them. However, due to the large number of people suffering from the disaster, there was no enough food for these people.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" Adults can still bear it, but the children have no choice. Many children are so hungry that they cry in their mother's arms. As for those children who are separated from their families, it is even more pitiful.

"We must think of a way and mobilize a batch of supplies quickly! If this continues, someone will die!" Xue Wenjie, the commander at the scene, frowned.

"We have found all the units we can find. Now they have gone to the dam to fight the flood. No one can care about this matter." The subordinates were helpless. The most important thing now is flood control. There are not many people here. They have to deal with various emergencies on the scene and find supplies. They are really too busy.

"Didi!" At this moment, a few cars came from the intersection, and then a man in an old military uniform jumped down, "Who is in charge here?"

"It's me! I am the on-site commander Xue Wenjie, Comrade, which unit are you from?" Seeing his military uniform, Xue Wenjie felt as if he had seen his relatives, and immediately felt at ease and hurried forward and asked.

"Hey, I've been discharged from the army for many years!" Liang Tiansheng sighed first, then stood straight, "Report to Commander Xue, I am Liang Tiansheng from the Huinong Volunteer Team. This time I brought two cars of instant noodles and ham sausages, as well as some gasoline and medicines, I hope it can help you!"

"That's great!" Xue Wenjie slapped his thighs excitedly. Now they are short of food. With this car of supplies, there is no need to worry about medicines for at least a few days! Not to mention medicines, many people on the scene are sick and urgently need various medicines. As for gasoline, it is also very useful. There is no shortage of fuel on the scene, but it is difficult to light up such heavy rain, so it will be much more convenient to pour some gasoline on it.

"Come on, arrange a fire immediately, let people in bad health come to cook the fire first, and then organize everyone to queue up and send the food!" Xue Wenjie immediately became busy and arranged for people to queue up by the car to collect supplies from Liang Tiansheng.

At this time, the benefits of instant noodles and ham sausages are reflected. If you get a bunch of rice noodles, you have to cook them before eating them. The instant noodles and ham sausages can be enjoyed by tearing them open the packaging bag.

The only disadvantage may be that people’s living standards are relatively low nowadays. Many people have never eaten instant noodles and ham sausages. Some hold ham sausages and don’t know how to put them in their mouths. Some tear open instant noodles bags and start gnawing without adding seasonings. However, these are trivial matters, and people around them will do it as soon as someone demonstrates.

Seeing Liang Tiansheng's military uniform and seeing two trucks of supplies, the victims at the scene felt relieved. No one robbed or went to the line. They obediently followed Xue Wenjie's command, letting the elderly, women and children line up in the front, and the strong laborers behind them helped them collect firewood and make fire.

Xue Wenjie stood in the truck and commanded while distributing food. Suddenly someone rushed to the front, "Commander Xue, there is a pregnant woman over there who is about to give birth, but now there is no doctor or medicine. Both pregnant women and children may be in danger!"

"What medicine do you bring? Are there any doctors on the scene?" Xue Wenjie hurriedly asked Liang Tiansheng.

"Da Zhou, come here!" Liang Tiansheng called out to a Huinong employee who was also wearing an old military uniform. "Da Zhou used to be a medical soldier in the army, and he didn't know whether it was effective or not!"

"It's better to have it than not! Comrade Da Zhou, hurry up and bring the medicine with me!" Xue Wenjie grabbed Da Zhou, asked him to carry the first aid kit and went straight to the house next to him. The few houses on the scene were left for the patients and pregnant women.

Da Zhou was also embarrassed when he saw pregnant women. He was a medical soldier in the army. If he could have a baby, he would go to the military hospital even if his family members became pregnant. But now he is the only one who knows a little medical skills on the spot. Who would he not go to? So he could only bite the bullet and help.

The pregnant woman gave birth smoothly, but the bleeding was severe. Fortunately, Dazhou brought blood-replenishing medicine to maintain the life of the pregnant woman.

Seeing that the lover's condition stabilized, the pregnant woman's husband held the child and knelt down to Dazhou, "Thank you, if it weren't for you, my wife would have gone! Benefactor, I've thought about it. Since this child was rescued by the People's Liberation Army, then call the military student."

"Oh, I dare not!" Da Zhou quickly stopped him, "I actually didn't do anything. Even without me, the child could still be born safely! Adults won't have any big problems!"

What he said was half true and half false. If it weren't for him, the child might be fine, but even if the adults could be saved, they would probably have the root of the disease. Junsheng's father wanted to say thank you, but Da Zhou was soon taken away by other families of patients who needed emergency treatment.

After working hard for a long time, he finally distributed food to more than 6,000 victims. Xue Wenjie and Liang Tiansheng were also exhausted and sat in the car. Xue Wenjie touched his pocket for a long time before he took out half a pack of cigarettes, but he was soaked in water and could no longer touch it.

"Smoke us!" Liang Tiansheng shouted, took the cigarette from the driver and dispersed it, and then lit it for Xue Wenjie.

After smoking half a cigarette, Xue Wenjie finally recovered. At this time, he remembered something he should have asked long ago, "Which unit is your Huinong Volunteer Team organized? Can you still get so much food at this time? How did you solve it?"

"We are from the Huinong Breeding Farm and Feed Factory!" When the unit's name was reported, Liang Tiansheng's face was full of pride. "Since it started to rain in May, our boss has felt that the situation this year is a bit unusual, so we have let us stockpile a lot of food, medicine and other supplies in advance. Today, when news came from Sanhe, we quickly loaded the car, and now it finally came in handy!"

"Boss? Are you not a public unit?" Xue Wenjie widened his eyes, his face full of incredible ideas. At this time, the one who brought him life-saving food was actually a private enterprise? Didn't those private enterprises just go to make money? When would they do such things? He immediately became alert. Could this be a forceful sale, right? First, send the supplies, and then ask us for a high price?

This cannot be blamed for him. In recent years, as the private economy becomes more and more developed, there have been many bad news, including cheating, fraud, and fake making and selling fakes. Xue Wenjie bought fake leather shoes and was cheated.

"If it is not a public unit, you cannot help with disaster relief? Our boss said that even private enterprises must have a sense of social responsibility. When encountering such a big disaster, what if we send some people to help and donate some supplies?" Liang Tiansheng might have felt that it was a bit awkward to work for private enterprises, but now he doesn't think so at all.

"All these are donated? How much does it cost?" Xue Wenjie knew that instant noodles and ham sausage were not cheap, and the total price of these two big trucks was definitely not low.

"What's this?" Liang Tiansheng waved his hand proudly, "This is the first batch. We have stored several warehouses. As long as you need it, we will send it to you immediately!"

Xue Wenjie was stunned!
