The Era of Hard Work

   Chapter 830 Epilogue

  In the courtyard of the huge villa, an old woman with gray hair stood in the vegetable field that had been opened, picking cucumbers with a basket.

   A red radio hangs on the cucumber rack at the head of the vegetable field.

"On August 9, 2019, Qingzhao District Radio Station continued to broadcast news for you. Just yesterday afternoon, Fortune Chinese.com's top 500 national enterprises were released. Two enterprises in our district were on the list, and the top one was No. 29. Lv’s Holding Group Co., Ltd. and the 59th Lv’s Holding Group Co., Ltd. are listed in the top 50 for six consecutive years, and Lv’s holding group for ten consecutive years in the top 100…”

   Hearing this, Hu Chunlan raised her head, looking to the south and west from Lujia Village New Village, it was full of high-rise buildings. The former fields have long been replaced by residential quarters and business centers.

  Ningxiu Street, Qingzhao District, bordered the University Town in 2010 and became a part of the urban area.

  Life is changing every year, getting better and better!

   "Grandma! Grandma!"

   A teenage boy ran into the yard, found Hu Chunlan who was busy with the vegetable field, and said, "My dad said that he won't come to eat at noon. There will be a meeting in the village at eleven o'clock, and we will have a working meal in the village."

   This child is tall and sturdy like Lu Dong, and his facial features are delicate and more like Song Na.

  Hu Chunlan asked: "Lu Yang, where is your mother?"

   Lu Yang took a cucumber from the basket: "She is in a meeting at the company!"

   A fair and beautiful girl came in from the door: "Grandma Lan, my dad is also going to the meeting."

  Lu Yang took another cucumber and gave it to the girl: "Li Miaomiao, give you one."

   "Miaomiao, your grandparents are not at home, so you will eat here at noon." Hu Chunlan went to pick tomatoes again, and asked her grandson and Wenyue's daughter next door: "Why did you have a meeting?"

   Lu Yang said carelessly, "I didn't ask."

  Li Miaomiao said: "I asked Lan Langu, who works in the branch, and she said that Uncle Dong asked to guard against any horses..."

  The three people were talking, and the news on the radio broadcasted related content.

"The Taidong Meteorological Observatory predicts that Typhoon Likima will land in the southeastern part of the peninsula on the evening of the 11th and gradually move to the northeast. Affected by it, from the night of the 11th to the 14th, the island city, Kite City, Linzi and Quannan, etc. There will be heavy rains and heavy rains in prefectures and cities, and there will be very heavy rains in some areas..."

  …………

   At the same time, more than a dozen people gathered in the meeting room of the Lvjiacun village branch. The latest weather forecast was playing on the giant LCD screen at the front of the meeting room.

   Standing at the front of the long conference table, Lu Dong, although nearly forty years old, maintains a good figure, but has a few more gray hairs on his temples.

   "The disaster caused by Likima has been on the news for the past few days." Lu Dong's voice was loud and strong: "It will come to Taidong and Qingzhao soon. We must be prepared."

   These words reminded Li Wenyue, who was sitting on the left of Lu Dong, to think of the flood in the summer of 1998, 21 years ago, which almost killed Lujia Village.

   Li Hongxing on the right said, "Can it be compared to 1998?"

   Lu Dong said: "Be prepared."

   In fact, the heavy rain mentioned in the weather forecast once fell on Qingzhao, in the upper reaches of the Qingzhao River.

  Lu Dong began to arrange the work: "Wen Yue, you are responsible for contacting your superiors, you must keep the communication channels smooth, and you can report the situation to the district government and the city government as soon as possible."

   "Red Star, from now on, all the stored sand and gravel will be transported to the material reserve under the river bank, and other woven bags, large packaging bags, and various disaster relief tools are all ready!"

   "Nails, you are in charge of construction machinery. Cranes, trucks, forklifts and forklifts will be on standby under the embankment as planned before the evening of the 11th!"

   "Lu Kun, immediately organize a river bank patrol team to patrol the shore from the night of the 11th!"

   "Lanlan, you are in charge of publicity, prepare for the broadcast in the afternoon, mobilize the villagers to stand by, and put up notices on propaganda boards everywhere!"

   The various tasks were arranged, and the discussions were completed during the lunch time, and the afternoon began to be busy.

   In recent years, although there have been no major floods, the river has experienced several surges in summer. Lu Dong specially set up a drought and flood resistance team in Lujia Village, and he has some practical experience.

   After the disaster preparedness meeting, Lv Dong personally called Ningxiu Street and Qingzhao District Government to discuss the specific work.

  Going home for dinner in the evening, Song Na came back from the company, looked at Lu Dong who kept sending and receiving messages in the WeChat group, and said, "The flood disaster in 1998 has passed, this is a typhoon."

   Lu Dong put down his smartphone and said the same thing: "It doesn't matter if the rain is heavy or small, it's always right to be prepared."

  Song Na looked at her son who was going to sneak out after dinner, and said, "Don't patronize and play, come back to do your homework."

  Lu Yang said with a bitter face: "I'll go to Miaomiao, but I won't go anywhere else."

   Song Na waved her hand, and Lu Yang dared to go out.

   Lu Dong said: "You are too strict, Lu Yang is afraid of seeing you."

   "Isn't it okay to be stricter? He hasn't gone to heaven yet."

   In this family, Lu Dong is a loving father, and he plays with his nephew and son, Song Na can only be a strict mother: "Just play all day, won't you become a scumbag in the future?"

   Lu Dong was speechless for a moment and bowed his head to eat.

   "Yes, boys have to be stricter!" Hu Chunlan has always been in the same camp with her daughter-in-law: "To put it poorly, our family is rich and powerful now, and if we ignore it strictly, it will easily become a disaster in the future."

  Perhaps she thought she shouldn't be called a scumbag, Song Na gently touched Lu Dong with her feet under the dining table, and when he looked over, she smiled slightly.

  Song Na is almost forty, but she is well-maintained and looks like she is not in her thirties.

  The weather forecast is not particularly accurate, or no one expected that Leach is menacing, and it is still very powerful when it reaches Taidong in the north.

  From noon on August 11, Qingzhao started to rain heavily, and it escalated to heavy rain several times during the period. The water seemed to fall from the sky.

  Reservoirs in Qingzhao District have already been draining water one after another. Before Likima arrived, the water level was lowered to the lowest level, but it still could not withstand the water flowing in all directions.

  Heavy rain, torrential rain and heavy rain alternated alternately for more than 20 hours. By the afternoon of the 12th, it finally stabilized on moderate to heavy rain.

   But the reservoirs were in emergency, and the water flow quickly exceeded the warning level and continued to rise.

The    Reservoir can only discharge floods, and the Qingzhao River surged. By the morning of the 13th, the water in Lujia Village had risen to less than two meters from the embankment.

   In the past few years, driven by Lvjia Village, the embankment of Qingzhao River has been continuously raised and strengthened. If it is still the old embankment, it will not last at this time.

   Lu Dong casually put on a red raincoat, walked on the embankment of the Lujia Village section, and personally checked the conditions of the river embankments.

   Lu Kun, who was in charge of the river bank patrol team, ran over: "Brother Dong."

  Lu Dong nodded and exhorted: "You must keep an eye on it, and you must not relax! Don't think that the embankment is made of stones, so there is no danger!"

  The river embankments in the Lujia Village section are all stone embankments more than three meters wide.

The S bend of the river is the most severely washed by the river water. On the spacious asphalt road under the river embankment, the crane puts down the support frame, and the ton bag full of sand and gravel is placed on the edge of the river embankment. If there is any danger in any place, immediately Can put down the big bag to block the opening.

   A few dozen meters ahead, five forklifts are on standby, and bags of sand and gravel are stacked on the wooden raft in front of the forklifts.

   A truck full of gravel and a man-high excavator on the wheel are also on standby nearby.

   There is not only one such combination, but each 100-meter section is allocated.

   No matter how dangerous the situation is, there is no need for someone to carry it on the shoulders. The mechanized operation of only one section can surpass the hundreds of people who worked in the summer of 1998.

  If the river bank really breaks, a truck with a load of dozens of tons can rush directly under the river bank, and use the body and the gravel on the truck to block the opening.

   When he came to the last S Bay, Li Wenyue was standing on the Triangle Dam, watching the rolling torrent under his feet, and said, "This flood is bigger than in 1998."

   The rain was getting lighter, and Lu Dong took off his raincoat and hat: "If the river bank in 1998, it would have collapsed by this time."

   Li Wenyue said: "After all, our economic conditions are better, we have money and equipment to fight disasters!"

   Lu Dong laughed: "The future will only get better and better!"

  Likima in 2019 brought serious natural disasters and direct economic losses of more than 15 billion yuan, but Lujia Village survived without any danger.

   The miracle of Lujia Village is still going on, and the market gradually has the saying of the Lujia in the northwest of Nanhua.

   (end of book)

   This book is finished here.

   First of all, I would like to thank all book friends for their support and for your company along the way.

   Secondly, this book is over, it has been affected by my health to some extent, that is, what happened last month, what a shame!

I ate fried grasshoppers, and the grasshopper's legs got stuck in my throat. It was unfortunate. The place where the stabbed was the tonsils, which caused severe inflammation. Doctors in the hospital all said that the tonsils began to proliferate because of inflammation, and it is recommended to cut them off as soon as possible to prevent lesions.

   At the thought of having surgery, I was in a panic, and I kept dragging it out. It was not a solution. If the situation allowed, the surgery might be performed this month.

   There is also a good side to the operation. The doctor said that after the operation, you can't eat for a while, and you can lose about 20 pounds.

   You can lose weight.

   Then there is the new book. I have thought about a few topics, but haven’t made a decision yet. I don’t think about it recently. I will look at the condition of my throat first, and then I will talk about the new book when my tonsils are cut.

   Finally, I wish all book friends good health and a lot of money.
