Chapter 3: Shirtless
Seeing Liu Qingyu's face becoming more and more ugly, Hong Sanjin's heart began to sink, especially he could feel a strong murderous aura from Liu Qingyu's body, this murderous aura was like cold frost, making him chill, Hong Sanjin is a very flexible person, he knew that for Liu Qingyu, who achieved this position at a young age, he must not offend, so he rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "Mayor Liu, otherwise, use my private car, although the car is a little broken, it can still be used." β
Although Liu Qingyu was angry, he didn't intend to explode immediately, he knew very well that now that he had just arrived in Guanshan Town, everything had to start from scratch, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold, he had to go step by step, from point to face, especially Hong Sanjin's words made Liu Qingyu ease up a little, he nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then it's hard Director Hong." You go and get the car ready, and by the way, prepare a big horn, and meet downstairs in 15 minutes. After speaking, Liu Qingyu once again looked at the map on the table and thought about it. Hong Sanjin wisely left immediately.
However, although Liu Qingyu temporarily calmed down his anger, he had already written down this matter in his heart, and when he had the opportunity, he would definitely get this game back, because Liu Qingyu had never surrendered to anyone.
Fifteen minutes later, after Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin converged, they got into Hong Sanjin's private car, and Hong Sanjin asked, "Mayor Liu, where are we going?"
Liu Qingyu said without hesitation: "Go to Malan Village, which is relatively close to the Guanshan Reservoir. β
The car sped in the rain, lightning and thunder and drove towards Malan Village, and stopped in front of the house of the village chief, Tian Laozhuo.
After the two got out of the car, they directly pushed open the door of the village chief's house and walked in.
At this moment, the village chief Tian Laozhuan, who is in his 50s and has a wrinkled face, is sitting in the hall and playing mahjong with a few people.
When they saw Liu Qingyu and them walking in, they were stunned. Immediately, Tian Laozhuan saw Hong Sanjin, the director of the government office, and immediately stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Oh, isn't this Director Hong? Why did you come to my house on a rainy day?
Between speaking, although Tian Laozhuan was full of smiles, he did not have any respect for Hong Sanjin in his tone.
Several other people were playing mahjong and the onlookers were also laughing.
Hong Sanjin knew that he had no prestige in the eyes of Tian Laozhuan and other village chiefs, so he could only look at Tian Laozhuan with a serious face and said: "Lao Tian, this is the newly appointed mayor of our Guanshan Town, and I informed you that the evacuation and resettlement work and the reinforcement and protection of the Guanshan Reservoir dam were personally instructed by Mayor Liu to do it. How are you preparing for your work now?" Hong Sanjin and Tian Lao Xuan spoke, completely in a businesslike tone.
After Tian Laozhuan listened, he just glanced at Liu Qingyu lightly, and found that Liu Qingyu was just a baby in his early twenties, and there was a faint smile on his face when he looked at Liu Qingyu, but there was a strong disdain hidden in the depths of his eyes, Lao Tiantou had been the village chief for many years, and he had seen a lot of various things, in his opinion, most of the officials like Liu Qingyu were the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich people who came down to gild, and they were quickly transferred away, and there was no ability at all, but Lao Tiantou knew very well that such a person must not be offended, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to Liu Qingyu and said: "Oh, it's Mayor Liu, I really didn't expect you to be so young, this rainy day, I don't know what instructions you have for coming in the rain in person?"
Liu Qingyu saw that Tian Laozhuan was still pretending to be confused in front of him until now, and he could only smile bitterly in his heart, he knew very well that farmers had the wisdom of farmers, Tian Laozhuan had lived for such a long time, he was definitely an old fox, he held Tian Laoshuo's hand and shook it vigorously, and said in a somewhat anxious voice: "Village Chief Tian, to be honest, I am here to advise you to immediately organize the villagers to be ready to evacuate at any time to raise manpower to prepare to strengthen the Guanshan Reservoir dam." I have received a message that it is very likely that there will be a series of torrential rains in Guanshan Town in the past few days, and the situation is very critical. I hope you will cooperate with my work. β
Liu Qingyu didn't go around in circles with Tian Lao, and went straight to the point.
It's time to see the real thing!
After listening to Liu Qingyu's words, Tian Laoshuan's face sank, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn. Everyone's eyes were all on Tian Laoshuan's body.
Tian Laozhuan was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Qingyu and said, "Mayor Liu, it's not that I don't support your work, but I don't dare to support your work." β
Liu Qingyu was stunned: "What are you doing?"
Tian Laozhuan said in a deep voice: "Mayor Liu, you may not know what to do when you first came, but the villagers of our Malan Village were pitted by the leaders of the town a few years ago. A few years ago, the town organized our villagers to grow mushrooms in greenhouses, saying that as long as we planted them, we could make a lot of money, and the town said that there was a special trading company to come to our side to buy them. The town can do the guarantee. At that time, we thought that the words of the town leaders were credible, so we pooled our money to build a few mushroom greenhouses, and a year later, there was a bumper harvest of mushrooms, but the company that the town said about collecting mushrooms never came. The so-called guarantee in the town is also gone, we suffered heavy losses, and then the town organized us to plant apple trees, and said that the town is responsible for marketing, to ensure that there is no problem, this time there are many people in our village who are unwilling to plant, but the town said that if you do not plant fruit trees, there will be no agricultural subsidies in the future, in desperation, we can only plant fruit trees, as a result of the apple harvest season in recent years, the big apples that are red and clear all over the mountains are crisp and sweet, but because of the inconvenience of transportation, they can not be transported, all can only rot on the trees, in the ground, Mayor Liu, you said that such things have happened one after another, can we still believe the words of the town leadersAnd you said that you want me to organize the villagers to prepare for evacuation, do you think it is possible to organize an evacuation? Moreover, the weather forecast says that tomorrow will only be cloudy, and today will be at most heavy to heavy rain in some areas, so there will be no danger at all in the reservoir. So Mayor Liu, with all due respect, I can't take your instructions. β
Listening to Tian Laozhuan say this, Liu Qingyu's heart was entangled, he never thought that such a thing had been done in the town, his eyes looked at Hong Sanjin next to him with a bit of questioning, Hong Sanjin nodded with an embarrassed wry smile, proving that what Tian Laozhuan said was true.
Liu Qingyu was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, Chief Tian, since you have so many hardships, I understand it, and I don't force it, but I hope you can borrow the loudspeaker in my village to use it, I hope to remind the villagers in advance, so that everyone can be mentally prepared, do you think it's okay?"
Liu Qingyu said very sincerely, Tian Laozhuan naturally refutes Liu Qingyu's face again, nodded, took Liu Qingyu to the house, turned on the small radio station, let Liu Qingyu sit next to him, and signaled that Liu Qingyu could speak.
Liu Qingyu took the microphone, muttered slightly, and then began to speak, he talked about the meteorological information he had obtained about Guanshan Town, talked about the pressure that the Guanshan Reservoir may be under once the heavy rain fell continuously, and talked about the flood situation and crisis that the village may suffer once the dam of the Guanshan Reservoir burstsγ After finishing speaking, Liu Qingyu stood up and looked at Tian Laozhuan and said: "Village Chief Tian, I know that I, the new mayor, have no prestige in the eyes of your village party secretaries and village heads, but I want to tell you that everything I say is true, and I sincerely hope that the villagers will no longer be hurt in the face of such a big disaster as the flood." I will go to other villages to publicize it later, and after the propaganda is done, I will always be stationed at the dam, and I hope that you will carefully consider my opinion. Farewell. After speaking, Liu Qingyu walked out with his head held high.
The bean-sized raindrops crackled on Liu Qingyu's head and body, and Liu Qingyu didn't dodge it at all, and walked directly towards the car. Hong Sanjin held an umbrella and followed closely behind Liu Qingyu.
Looking at Liu Qingyu's departing back, Tian Laozhuan fell into deep thought: "Could it be that this new mayor really wants to do something for our people?"
At this moment, Liu Qingyu, who got into the car, was not very angry, although Tian Laoshuan's tone was not very friendly, but Liu Qingyu understood him very well, because he knew in his heart that although Tian Laozhuan was a little disrespectful to himself, but his attitude was responsible for the people in the village, as a leader, he must have this kind of tolerant mind.
After Hong Sanjin got into the car, he immediately said to Liu Qingyu: "Mayor Liu, don't be angry, these village chiefs and village party secretaries are all thieves, and it is difficult to move them without benefits." Why don't we go back first?"
Liu Qingyu shook his head, "It's normal to encounter some difficulties in doing things, let's continue to walk to the next village, go to Meng Erzhuang next door, and we will continue to do the work of the village chief and the villagers, at least let the villagers know that there are tents on the side of Tianwangling, in case of a crisis, the villagers will not be at a loss, and have a psychological preparation and expectation." β
Hong Sanjin was very depressed in his heart, and he felt very unhappy when he was caught, but he could only go into battle hard, who made himself the director of the town government office.
Next, Hong Sanjin took Liu Qingyu to turn around all the 25 administrative villages one by one, and after the transfer, it was already more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they didn't even eat lunch, and Liu Qingyu's voice was already hoarse. After the last village was turned, Hong Sanjin looked at Liu Qingyu and said, "Mayor Liu, shouldn't we go back?"
Liu Qingyu waved his hand, "I can't go back, since no village is willing to respond to my call now, then I'll go into battle shirtless, they won't come, I will be responsible for reinforcing the dam alone, I will do my best, how much effort can be made." β
Subsequently, Liu Qingyu took Hong Sanjin to the town to buy shovels, pickaxes, sacks, raincoats and other materials, and asked Hong Sanjin to drive straight to the Guanshan Reservoir Dam.
After coming to the dam, Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin inspected the area, and Liu Qingyu found a section of the river where the embankment looked relatively fragile, and began to drive piles and carry sand and soil.
The heavy rain kept falling, the raincoat couldn't stop the pouring rain at all, Liu Qingyu and Hong Sanjin's bodies were all wet, and later, Hong Sanjin's body couldn't bear it, Liu Qingyu asked him to go back to the car to rest, while he continued to struggle on the dam.
The night gradually darkened, and Liu Qingyu's body gradually became hazy. Sweat and rain were mixed with Liu Qingyu's face, and it was no longer distinguishable, Liu Qingyu's hands and feet had already been soaked in the rain and turned a little white, but he was still persevering.
The water on the dam has been rising.
At this moment, in Malan Village, the closest to the dam, the village chief Tian Laozhuan found that the heavy rain had been raining all day, and there was no sign of stopping, he couldn't sit still, and immediately said hello to his family, and then beckoned his son Tian Xiaozhuan and several young people in the village to go to the dam together.
Tian Laozhuan knew the situation of the dam well, and found the fragile section of the embankment that Liu Qingyu was reinforcing without waste, and he was stunned when he saw that this section of the embankment had a lot of stumps and a lot of sacks piled up.
At this time, Tian Xiaoshui suddenly shouted: "Dad, the water level has been rising, and it is only less than 1 meter away from the warning water level." The water level of the Guanshan River is more than a meter away from before the rain. The situation is a little dangerous. β
Tian Laozhuan had already discovered this situation, and at this moment, he began to remember what Liu Qingyu said, and his brows furrowed tightly. So far, he has not seen Liu Qingyu's shadow, in his opinion, Liu Qingyu said that he would personally be stationed on the dam at that time, I am afraid it was just empty words.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps mixed with a snapping sound of footboards walking in muddy water came from afar, and bursts of heavy wheezing were gradually clearly audible, and Tian Xiaoshuo's flashlight shone in the direction of the sound.
Under the light, Liu Qingyu walked over with difficulty carrying a bag of crushed sand and gravel on his shoulder.
Tian Laoshuan's eyes also looked at the light, and everyone was stunned at once. They never imagined that Liu Qingyu would really keep his promise, and everyone was shocked when they looked at the wooden piles under the dam and the reinforced embankment section piled up with dozens of sacks.
Tian Laoshuan's eyes showed a hint of disbelief, he didn't expect that the newly appointed mayor had no shelf at all, and was doing things in obscurity.
Liu Qingyu also saw Tian Laozhuan and the others at this time, but he didn't speak, but silently put the sack away, picked up another empty sack, and walked towards the direction of filling the sand and gravel on the other side of the dam.
At this moment, the rain is falling more urgently, Liu Qingyu's body will slip after taking a few steps, and under the dam, the river is also rising wildly, and a crisis can happen at any time. However, for this situation, Liu Qingyu didn't seem to see it at all, and was still silently busy.
