Secretary Du himself had no objection to the young man Su Sangong going with him.
Although Shen Zizhen was willing to help, he was not young after all, and Secretary Du was really afraid that if he made a mistake on the dam, he would not be able to explain it to his superiors.
It would be much more convenient if Su Sangong could go with him and he could take good care of Shen Zizhen.
"It's so good. Please ask Comrade Xiao Su to take care of Teacher Shen."
After saying this, Secretary Du turned to look at Su Xiaotian.
The little girl stayed at home. My wife and little daughter happened to be at home, so it was okay to keep the little girl.
However, before Secretary Du could speak, he heard Su Xiaotian shouting loudly.
"Uncle Shen, third brother, I'll go too!"
It wasn't that Su Xiaotian wanted to shout loudly, but the main reason was that the wind was strong and the thunder was loud. She happened to be standing downwind. If she didn't shout louder, no one else would be able to hear her.
Even so, Secretary Du thought he had heard wrongly.
Yes, Secretary Du thought he heard it wrong. He felt that what Su Xiaotian said should be: Uncle Shen, third brother, I'm scared!
Yes, it must be so!
The more Secretary Du thought about it, the more he felt that it was normal for the little girl to be afraid.
After all, lightning flashed across the sky and landmines exploded over the village. People who were not accustomed to hearing this must be scared!
The little girl Su Xiaotian is said to be capable, but no matter how capable the girl is, she is still just a little girl after all.
"Little girl, you don't have to be afraid, there is someone at home with you."
Secretary Du also shouted in a loud voice. There was no thunder at this time, so Su Xiaotian heard it very clearly.
She hurriedly replied: "Secretary Du, I want to follow you to the embankment."
"What?"
Secretary Du insisted that he must have been hallucinating today. How could a little girl want to go to the embankment?
At this time, big raindrops were already falling down.
Secretary Du didn't have time to talk to Su Xiaotian anymore.
"Little girl, it's safer for you to stay at home. It's too dangerous on the embankment."
For such a delicate little girl, when she gets to the embankment, someone will have to take care of her. Isn't this distracting?
Secretary Du looked Su Xiaotian up and down several times and firmly believed that his judgment was correct.
Such a little girl is really not suitable to go to the dam.
But at this moment, she heard Shen Zizhen say: "Let Xiaotian go!"
Shen Zizhen felt that Xiaotian might be able to play a role.
After all, he and Su Sangong didn't know much about geological disasters, but Su Xiaotian was different.
Su Xiaotian has always read a lot of books, maybe she has seen similar problems before.
Secretary Du obviously didn't expect that Shen Zizhen would take the initiative to ask Su Xiaotian to go.
He could see that Shen Zizhen really loved the child Su Xiaotian, but no matter how much she loved the child, she could not be so unprincipled.
At this time, letting the child go to the embankment is not really loving the child, but making fun of the child's life.
"Teacher Shen, you'd better advise Xiaotian to stay. It's too dangerous on the dam at this time."
Apart from anything else, with such a strong wind, the little girl looks so fragile, will she be blown away by the wind?
"Secretary Du, you don't know Xiaotian. Don't look at me and San Gong, two grown men. But if there is really any problem, Xiaotian might be able to help solve it."
Shen Zizhen smiled bitterly, although she didn't want to admit it, but it was the truth.
Secretary Du originally wanted to give a few more words of advice.
He has heard that Comrade Su Xiaotian is a doctor. How can a doctor solve the problem of natural disasters?
He really doesn't believe it!
But the elders had expressed their willingness to follow, so his advice didn't seem to mean much.
"Comrade Xiao Su, Comrade Xiao Tian, I need you to take more care of me!"
Su Sangong understood what Secretary Du meant and smiled and thanked him.
"Secretary Du, don't worry, I will take good care of Xiaotian. You don't have to worry, Xiaotian might be the one to protect me at the critical moment!"
Shen Zizhen felt lost after hearing what her student said.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have wanted to beat Su Sangong directly.
Do you still have any ambition?
Waiting to be protected by a little girl?
He dared to say this, but he did not dare to listen.
When Secretary Du heard what Su Sangong said, he did not feel relieved. Instead, he felt that these people really loved their children to the point of boundless love.
"Okay, mother Sui'er, you can find all the coir raincoats at home. Da Zhuangzi, go from house to house and say hello to the young and old men from each house to hurry up and go to the dam."
Secretary Du made a prompt decision and did not waste too much time on Su Xiaotian's problem. Instead, he directly arranged work for the family.
Secretary Du's wife and her daughter Sui'er came out immediately and took out the few sets of raincoats they had in the house.
Several people each dressed in one suit, put on their hats, and headed out.
Secretary Du's son, Da Zhuangzi, immediately went out to find other people in the village after getting dressed.
The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the rain is getting denser and denser. Although I am wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat, it is basically of no use in the face of such wind and rain.
Su Xiaotian and the others walked towards the embankment, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Along the way, some people had already gone out with tools, obviously heading in the direction of the dam.
On the way, Secretary Du briefly explained the situation of the dam, almost in a roaring manner.
"The dam above us was found to have problems this summer, and there was no time to maintain it. If the dam collapses, all the water in the reservoir will pour down, and the villages below us will not be able to survive."
Several villages below the embankment belong to two townships respectively. In addition, Secretary Du and Mayor Liang also live in the villages, so it is strange that they are not in a hurry.
"Why didn't you fix it earlier?"
Shen Zizhen said with a cold face.
Is there anything more important than building solid dams and protecting human lives?
"It's not like everyone has been busy. We originally planned to repair it after the crops are harvested in a few days."
It's also because things have been going smoothly this year, so they don't have a sense of urgency.
Who knew, it was already late autumn, but it was going to rain heavily.
Yes, according to Secretary Du's guess, the rain today will definitely not be light.
In the past, weather like this has been heavy with heavy rains. This time, there should be no exceptions.
Although Mayor Liang didn't say it explicitly, he probably saw the problem, so he ran to the embankment as soon as possible.
However, Mayor Liang's idea at that time was to let Secretary Du stay at home with the guests.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zizhen would actually ask to go up the dam.
