Longdao County Public Security Bureau, Xinying Police Station.

Director He Pingyuan put down the phone and walked out of the office, opened the aluminum alloy window and shouted downstairs: "Old Chang, Tianqing, the instructor has received someone and is rushing back. If you don't cook at night, you can go to Ermei Hotel to greet the comrades who came to communicate with Yanyang Municipal Public Security Bureau. You can hurry up and clean the toilet, especially the toilet, it's not enough to make some water."

When colleagues from big cities come to communicate, they must do a good job of hygiene.

The police officers in charge of the case often ran to the corner to pick up the broom, raised their heads and asked, "Where are you, how many people are here?"

"One," He Pingyuan felt it was necessary to explain it clearly to his comrades, and couldn't help but smile: "The policeman who came to our place to communicate with him was Han, and his name was Han Chaoyang. He is quite famous online. Although he was still in the probation period, his work performed well and became popular online. He was known as the most handsome policeman in Yanyang. The leader of the Yandong Branch asked him to come to our class to study, which shows that he is the key training target of the Yandong Branch."

"The most handsome policeman in Yanyang, who is, how handsome is he?" Zhang Tianxiang couldn't help asking.

"You will know by searching the Internet. I guess I must be more handsome than you. I won't be kidding, so hurry up and get hygiene."

"He Su, there is another question, where will he stay at night?"

"In the residence," He Pingyuan, who was about to clean up, turned around and said: "In view of the harsh conditions of our rural police station, they may not be able to get used to it. They originally planned to let them live in the county town and planned to let us pick them up and drop them off every morning and evening. As a result, their leaders disagreed and said that if you study with the class, you should be the same as the classmate."

"But……"

"It's nothing, but the leaders of the Accommodation Bureau considered it and specially purchased bedding and bedding and some daily necessities for them. There are both rooms and beds upstairs, so you can live in it by tidying up."

"Luckily they are here this year. If they were put last year, we wouldn't know how to receive it." Now this second-story building was completed and put into use this spring. Thinking of the office conditions last year, Lao Chang was very moved while cleaning the yard.

Zhang Tianxiang studied in a big city for four years and saw the world. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Old Chang, for you and me, the conditions are very good now, very good, but in other people's eyes, our conditions probably have nothing to do with good."

"Except for the fact that the transportation is not very convenient, there are no people or big cities that are lively. I don't think it's worse than big cities in other aspects!"

"It's not enough to be lively in big cities. If you don't believe it, he will definitely not get used to it."

...

When he arrived in Longdao County, Han Chaoyang finally knew what a large area is, and finally how large the area of ​​Longdao County Public Security Bureau is, and he has an intuitive and profound concept.

It took a 16-hour train from Yanyang to Xinlan City, and it only took 7 hours to wait for the high-speed rail under construction. It took only two hours to take a car sent by the Longdao County Public Security Bureau to the county bureau. The distance is not far, and the road conditions are quite good.

But it is far from the county town to Xinying Township, and it is said that it is nearly three hours' drive.

The police car driven by the instructor of Xinying Police Station was driven by himself, and set out from a county town that was not even a small town. Looking around, there was loess, no vegetation, no rivers, and all the dirt mountains.

The winding highway is winding and you can see pedestrians and vehicles at first. It is difficult to see people and vehicles as you drive. One side of the road is like a dirt mountain cut with a knife, and the other side is a cliff.

Turn left and right, turning around, it is not only fast but also steep. I really dare not drive without some skills.

As he walked, there was no signal again. Han Chaoyang put down his cell phone and asked curiously: "Instructor, what are the holes on the roadside for? I saw many of them passing by, which were gloomy. Did someone die? Dig a hole in the mountain and stuff the coffin directly into it?"

Instructor Hang subconsciously looked at the roadside, held the steering wheel and smiled: "Imagination is quite rich. I guessed it wrong. These are not coffin holes, but water cellars. They were all dug in the past. When it rains, the rainwater will flow into the cellar along the surface. There was no such condition before, so I was reluctant to use cement and yellow sand. I just dig one simply. It will leak underneath and evaporate on the top. It can't be preserved for a short time. Now it's all abandoned and no one uses it."

It turned out that it was loading water. Han Chaoyang thought about it and asked again: "Instructor, the left side is so steep, the mountain is so high, and it is still a dirt mountain. Will you step down? In the small village I passed just now, many houses were also built on the mountainside, both high and low, and there was dirt mountain behind the house. What if it rained and caused mudslides?"

It's really a worry!

But it is understandable, after all, he has never passed the Great Northwest and the Loess Plateau.

Instructor Hangzhou lit a cigarette and patiently explained: "Xiao Han, the terrain of our Longdao County is mainly mountain valleys and Liangma, with an altitude of more than 2,200 meters. The annual rainfall is about 350 mm, and the evaporation is as high as more than 1,600 mm. It has drought and rain all year round, and the natural conditions are poor. Farmers rely on the weather for their meals. If there are a few heavy rainstorms that can cause mudslides every year, it is really not a bad thing for us."

“Not it rains?”

"Still, but less."

"I didn't see the river all the way, and it didn't rain much. How do I water the crops? What do people and animals drink?"

"So the farmers here rely on the weather to make a living, and the crops do not mention watering at all. As for drinking water from people and animals, they mainly rely on rainwater to collect. Every household has a water cellar, and some have several. The new, spherical ones are usually built under the yard and can store dozens of cubic meters. Under normal circumstances, there is not much problem with domestic water, but this year is not. This year is a year of drought, with less rain, and many people's cellars are almost out of water."

"What should I do if anyone can't drink it?"

"The summer grain has been lost, and the autumn grain production is probably a foregone conclusion," said Instructor Hang, who is facing the loess and facing the sky, said: "The Wuyan Water Cellar in my elder brother's yard and outside the yard, for half a month. Fortunately, the neighbor is only at home, and he can carry two loads of water from the neighbor's water cellar every day to solve the problem in front of him."

"No wonder I couldn't see green vegetation along the way. It turned out that I encountered a drought year."

“It’s not a normal year of drought.”

Instructor Hangzhou said solemnly: "The precipitation in normal years is about 350 mm, and the precipitation in drought years is about 280 mm. However, the precipitation in the county in the first half of this year is not as small as that in drought years. Some villages have all dried up, and the villagers have no choice but to drive Sanmazi to buy water in towns with water. The water is not particularly expensive, and it costs five yuan per square meter. However, the transportation cost is high, and some have to travel fifty or sixty kilometers. The cost of one square meter of water is nearly 50 yuan, and the cost of water transport in the villages farther away can reach 80 or 90."

Flood control can strengthen the embankment, etc., how can we resist drought?

There is no water source around, and it doesn't rain. Most of the farmers live on the mountainside and cannot dig the groundwater even if they dig down. Han Chaoyang finally realized how messy the hair of Instructor Hang was and why the police uniform was so dirty.

Just as he thought that Xinying Police Station must save water like his peers, instructor Hang suddenly smiled and said, "Xiao Han, you are our lucky star. As soon as you come to the meteorological observatory, you will say that there will be raining today and tomorrow. Look at the sky and the clouds in the sky, the meteorological observatory should have made no mistakes in predictions."

I saw the clouds and knew the weather. I seemed to have learned this text when I was a child.

But Han Chaoyang had only learned the text. He looked up at the sky and could not see that it was going to rain.

For those who are in a drought, rain is a very important thing.

Instructor Hang slowed down his vehicle, took out his cell phone to check, confirmed that there was a signal, dialed a number, said a few words in local dialect, and then said apologetically: "Xiao Han, I just told He Su that it was not far from my house in front, and my old mother was at home alone. I went back to check it out, helped her clean the yard, and collected some water when it rained."

"Instructor, you are busy with yours, and I am not in a hurry."

He said his home was not far away, but it was not close.

Turn left and enter a gravel road, drill into a ravine, and circle around. After nearly half an hour, I finally saw a small mountain village that I couldn't see before. The driving skills are amazing, and the last section of the road is particularly steep, which makes ordinary people drive and it may be a big mistake.

But before he could reach his house, he parked the police car in front of a dilapidated donkey shed and the two began to walk.

Rather than walking, it is better to rush down the mountain, all downhill roads. If you don’t maintain a good center of gravity and don’t pay attention to your feet, you will fall off if you accidentally step on it. If you step on it, you will be completely soil, and thick places can flood the upper.

The leather boots were dirty, the pants were dirty, and the loess wall was dirty, and the hands were dirty, even the police uniforms were dirty, like a fake bag to change!

There are not many people in the village, and they are all old people.

I saw an old man who saw the clouds in the sky, and he was overjoyed in local dialect and rushed to clean his yard.

The rain here is so expensive. Instructor Hang ran into a small yard surrounded by earthen walls, said a few words to the old lady who was cleaning the yard in local terms, took the broom and started to work.

Sweep the floor, open the cellar door, and take the basin and place it in the yard.

After that, he ran into the house and found a shovel, ran onto the path behind the house, and built a side ditch with soil. One end of the side ditch connected the road surface, and the other end reached the entrance of the water cellar behind his house... A series of movements were orderly and tense, like a well-trained soldier.

"Xiao Han, come in and sit in the house."

"Instructor, are you ready?" Han Chaoyang was embarrassed.

"It's done. As long as water rises on the ground when it rains, there will be water in the cellar."

However, things went against my wishes. The two chatted in the yard while waiting for the rain with the old lady. As a result, the falling rain stars were fleeting. Instructor Hang squatted down and touched the ground, and said helplessly: "I just got down the wetland, and I don't know if it was too big in other places."

"Otherwise, you'll take your mother to the office, there should be water in the office."
