On May 20, 1984, the sky was just getting dark.

Throughout Chacheng County, heavy rain continued to fall.

It seemed that the sky was gloomy and there was no sign of the rain stopping.

Although it was no longer the violent storm in the middle of the night, it still fell into the category of heavy rain.

"Director Xiao! Director Xiao!"

Xiao Zhao, a clerk in the tea city government, was wearing a raincoat and water shoes. Out of breath, he rushed into the Yamen compound and arrived in front of Director Xiao's home.

"Bang bang..."

He didn't care anymore and banged the door loudly.

After a while, a figure who was neither fat nor thin came out of the door. It was Manager Xiao who had just been woken up and opened the door.

"Xiao Zhao, what are you..."

He has been under a lot of pressure recently, and he fell asleep in a daze at midnight last night. Now Xiao Zhao, who has always been prudent in doing things, came to see him, and he immediately realized something.

"Director Xiao... whirring... the water is rising!"

"Half an hour ago, the flood peak from the upper reaches suddenly arrived, and the river water surged!"

The look on his face was extremely complicated, and he couldn't tell what his expression was. "The current water level has already exceeded the highest water level in 1981 by one foot!"

"What's even more terrifying is that the river continues to rise and shows no sign of receding!"

"About 35% of the urban area of ​​our tea city has been flooded!"

He looked panicked, "If this continues, in half an hour at most, half of the tea city will be flooded!"

"Ah..." Manager Xiao was stunned immediately, his face turned green and red, and he couldn't tell whether he was shocked or relieved.

"Is it really a flood? Is it really much bigger than the flood in June 1981?"

He stood there blankly and muttered to himself.

"I was caught by that magical little guy Wang Qiang! This big flood really happened."

"Jiangbei Village made the right move this year. It followed Wang Qiang's advice and made all preparations to deal with major floods early on."

"Fortunately, I made the right move! The county-wide mobilization was only one day later than the village-wide mobilization in Jiangbei Village. It also gave me a valuable buffer period to carry out the flood relief work within the entire tea city.

Basically everything is done in advance!”

He was relieved, and the huge pressure he had been carrying disappeared in an instant.

"Xiao Zhao, immediately notify the supervisors of each department and start the rescue operation according to the original plan!"

"Especially the firefighters and all the public servants, everyone should take action!"

"Everyone must be on the front line of flood relief and disaster relief to minimize the loss of life and property of the affected people!"

"Go and deliver the order right away. Just say it was me who said it. Anyone who dares to shirk responsibility will be asked to dismount immediately!"

The flood came as expected, it was really the kind of super flood that only happens once in thirty years.

This soul-level official in charge of the tea city directly ordered the entire county to carry out flood relief work nine days ago, taking a huge risk.

Today, in an instant, he received a huge reward.

Soon, he will establish unparalleled prestige in the tea city.

Indeed, the previous order for large-scale mobilization of the entire county was not something ordinary people would dare to issue.

That is simply taking a chance on your own future!

It was successful and the harvest was unprecedented.

If it fails, it is estimated that it will soon be relegated to the second line and take care of itself in old age.

Fortunately, he succeeded, perfectly.

It is no exaggeration to say that the order he issued to mobilize the entire county nine days ago was priceless.

That order at least reduced the loss of people and property by more than half in the entire tea city during this super flood, and saved countless poor families.

"yes!"

Xiao Zhao, who is also a veteran, clicked, stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and ran away.

He has been following Supervisor Xiao for several years. Knowing this supervisor who is devoted to the people and his resolute and resolute temper, he has naturally learned a little bit about it.

Seeing Xiao Zhao leaving to deliver his order, Manager Xiao couldn't wait any longer. He hurriedly turned around and went home. He spoke to his wife and children who had just gotten up, and finished washing up.

Then, he put on his raincoat, took an umbrella, walked out of the house, and strode toward the Yamen's office.

Today he had to stay by the phone, maintain a high level of tension at all times, and issue hundreds of various orders.

It can be said that it is not yet time to go to work, so he is destined to be extremely busy today.

…

Since this major flood, which had occurred once in thirty years, had hit the tea city as scheduled, Wang Qiang could guess some actions of the tea city government and the Jiangbei Village Committee without having to think about it.

However, he didn't think too much about it.

He has done his duty and has a clear conscience.

Wang Qiang knew that the rain in the tea city would stop tomorrow and it would be sunny for two days.

Late tonight, the water will begin to recede.

Then comes the intermittent rainy season of seven or eight days, which is not too big or too small. Finally, after entering June, Chacheng County will usher in two months of sunny days.

Wang Qiang also heard the loud cheers that just came from the direction of Lion Rock.

His face turned a little green and red for a while, and he was really speechless.

What the hell!

It is estimated that throughout the ages, there may have been a situation like this in Jiangbei Village: a big flood came, and not only did everyone not panic at all, but they cheered in unison!

This is absolutely unprecedented.

"Brother, come up to the balcony on the third floor and see the flood!"

"Brother, what a huge flood!"

"This flood! It's too big! Most of Jiangbei Village is flooded!"...

At this time, I must have been awakened by the loud cheers coming from the direction of Lion Rock in Jiangbei Village. Then I quickly got up and came to the balcony of the third floor, where my sister shouted loudly.

This was the first time they had seen such a huge flood.

Much larger than three years ago.

Regardless of the current water level, it is only about one meter higher than the massive flood in June 1981.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But at this height of one meter, a very large amount of water is needed to fill it.

After all, as the area ravaged by floods becomes larger and larger, the amount of water required for every inch of elevation is unimaginable.

With this one meter higher water level, there will definitely be 20 to 30% more flooded areas in Tea City County.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one meter of heaven and one meter of hell.

Hearing his sister's shouts, Wang Qiang got up, washed himself, and regained consciousness.

He even brought boiling water and top-quality tea leaves to brew a refreshing tea. He then took a set of tea sets and carried them on a tea tray, and walked slowly and slowly to the large balcony on the third floor.

There are two sets of finely carved stone tables and chairs made of large bluestone, one in the south and one in the north.

He placed the big tea tray on a stone table and shouted to the four girls, "Don't be anxious. The current situation is just to let nature take its course. It's useless to be anxious."

"Why don't you come over and sit down and drink a cup of refreshing tea to refresh yourself."

He looked at the girls who looked a little sleepy. He didn't know why they were still a little dazed because they got up early today.

After all, it's not yet six o'clock in the morning, which is the best time for a person to sleep.

"Oh, here it comes!"

"Brother, we haven't washed our faces yet. Let's go to the bathroom on the third floor to wash up before coming back."

"Yeah, brother, please help each of us fill a cup of refreshing tea first. We'll come back as soon as we go. Then it would be nice to take a look at the water and have a cup of tea."

We have already done all the preventive work in our fields and forests, but now that the flood is coming, there is no use in worrying.

It's better to do what my brother said, sit down and drink a cup of the best refreshing tea to refresh yourself, and then look at the water.

After a while, several girls turned around and sat around the big stone table with Wang Qiang.

Everyone drank hot tea and chatted while admiring the huge flood like a vast ocean.
