People were marveling at Tang's father's far-sightedness, but for the first time, Tang's father, who was the object of everyone's admiration, couldn't see through his son Tang Yinlai.
As a young man who is still in school, he has a wise perspective that even so-called experts do not have. Is this his son who has never been striving to make progress?
Tang's father really wanted to talk to Tang Yin about what could make Tang Yin make such a judgment. But Tang's father finally chose to remain silent. If this kind of thing was known to outsiders, it would definitely not be a good thing for his son.
With this incident, Tang's father became more concerned about the affairs of Houshan Township. He asked observers to divide into three shifts to monitor the conditions of the slopes in Houshan Township 24 hours a day. Once it rained and the slope collapsed, he immediately arranged for the villagers to relocate and adopted the method
No means will be spared.
Although Father Tang was also very nervous about the safety of the Houshan Township Dam, he was somewhat confident. After all, he personally led people to reinforce it, so under normal circumstances there would be no problems.
In early August, various high schools in Cangshan City issued announcements about the admission score. The admission score of No. 1 Middle School in Cangshan City was 641 points. According to Tang Yin’s high school entrance examination results, there is no problem in listing No. 1 Middle School.
But the strange thing is that Tang Yin's family has not received relevant calls or written notices for a long time. This makes Tang's mother somewhat anxious. Her son finally got super high scores in the exam, but the city's No. 1 Middle School did not send a notice. How could she do it?
No rush.
According to the information she got, other candidates who were admitted to the No. 1 Middle School were notified to participate in the pre-school military training of the No. 1 Middle School at the end of August. Only her son Tang Yin had no movement. Isn't this bullying?
She was so uneasy inside, even more uneasy than when Tang Yin was waiting for her scores after the high school entrance exam, and she was so close to finishing.
For this reason, she didn't even pay much attention to the new store. She ran around outside all day long to inquire about the specific situation, but unfortunately she couldn't get in.
Compared to Tang's mother's anxiety, Tang's father had no intention of taking this into consideration, because the second test in Houshan Township was about to come.
Due to the huge amount of drainage from the upper reaches, the water level of the river has not receded after the first plum rainy season. Now it is about to usher in the second plum rainy season, which makes him focus all his attention on work. Compared with his son's schooling
, the safety of the people in Houshan Township becomes even more important.
As the person involved, Tang Yin, like his father, was worried about the condition of the rural slopes in the back mountains, and he did not worry too much about his own schooling. Where his scores were placed, could it be that the No. 1 Middle School in the city would exclude him?
In early August, heavy rains began to fall in most of the northern part of Cangshan City. After August 7, the Shanxiang Dam peaked again, with a flow rate of 56,000 cubic meters per second.
At the same time, the rain belt gradually affected Cangshan City. On August 8, heavy rain began to fall in Cangshan City. The rainfall in 3 hours reached 110 mm, exceeding the 100 mm level of the heavy rain red alert ten years later.
On August 9, the heavy rain not only did not subside, but became more violent, reaching a terrifying 118 mm or more. Faced with such a terrifying heavy rain, Tang Yin appeared on the slope of the mountain behind Laolin Village.
In the evening, Tang Yin, soaked all over, appeared on the Houshan Township dam like a drowned rat. Among the crowd at the dam site, he found his father, Tang Kangming.
Looking at his father who took the lead and personally led the team to continue to strengthen the dam in the heavy rain, Tang Yin's cheeks were mixed with rain and tears. The wind was very strong, and in the heavy rain, Tang's father fell to the ground from time to time, but he stubbornly got up and continued to work.
matter.
The scene in front of him reminded Tang Yin of the past. At that time, his father was overwhelmed by the burden of life, his body collapsed early, and he became old before he was old. At this time, although he was too busy to touch the ground, he remained high-spirited.
Tang Yin didn't even know whether he was right or wrong in trying to find ways for his father to come to Houshan Township to take up a job.
But when he saw the people in Houshan Township looking up at his father with admiration, and when he saw the fiery passion bursting out from his father, he knew he had done the right thing.
Tang's father accidentally saw Tang Yin appearing on the dam. He was stunned at first, and then rushed to Tang Yin and yelled at Tang Yin with a low face: "What's going on? What are you doing on the dam? Go back, this is not you."
Where you should come, the wind and rain are so strong, don’t you know it’s very dangerous?”
Tang Yin was not angry at his father's scolding. Instead, he cried and shouted to his father stubbornly: "Dad, you are my idol, and my son is proud of you!..."
Father Tang's whole body was shaken. His son's proud mood, worried expression, and crisp words were like a heavy hammer, making his eyes wet but his blood boiling. He put down the shovel in his hand, walked closer to Tang Yin, and stroked his son's head.
, was surprised to find that his son had grown taller: "Don't worry, go back, dad will be fine."
Tang Yin shook his head persistently and stared at his father firmly: "Dad, do you believe me?"
Tang's father looked at his son in astonishment, his eyes full of questions: "Huh?...Tell me what is going on?"
Tang Yin pointed at the roaring sky, then at the dam, and then pointed in the direction of Laolin Village: "Dad, there will be heavier rainstorms today and tomorrow. You have thrown sandbags into the dam and bamboo tendons.
, the dam foundation has been consolidated and a flood control wall has been built, there should be no worries.
"But the hillside behind Laolin Village has been severely cut down, and there are no remedial measures. I just went to take a look at the hillside behind Laolin Village. According to the situation, all residents of Laolin Village must move out tonight, because the slopes in the back mountain area may collapse at any time!"
In fact, Tang Yin knew that a horrific mudslide suddenly broke out on the hillside behind Laolin Village at about 7 a.m. the next day, August 10. Laolin Village suddenly became a hellish scene, and the villagers fled in a hurry. However, in the face of natural disasters, human beings
It seems really small.
Whenever he wakes up from nightmares in the middle of the night, Tang Yin feels a little heavier. He must not let this kind of tragedy happen again. Even if he is treated as a guinea pig, he must do his best to prevent it from happening.
Tang's father stared at his son for a long time. Looking at his son's firm and persistent eyes, he sighed deeply. He took off his poncho and put it on his son. He turned around and walked to the house with firm steps.
Dam command post.
A moment later, Tang's father's sonorous and powerful voice came from the loudspeaker in the temporary headquarters of the dam: "Dam No. 1 and No. 2 teams are commanded by Mayor Qiu. All actions are carried out according to the original plan.
"The special response team of the Flood Control Headquarters, as well as the convoys except the first and second response teams, and other convoys rushed to Laolin Village with me to carry out the task of evacuating the people. Immediately!"
Tang Yin smiled happily. With his father's decision, he could hide behind the scenes again, and the villagers of Laolin Village were saved.
Lao Lin Village is actually a village deep in a dense forest. Not all villagers are named Lin. However, the current village party secretary in the village is named Lin, and everyone calls him Lao Lin.
Party Secretary Lao Lin has great prestige in Laolin Village. This is not only because he is a Party Secretary who wholeheartedly serves everyone, but also because his family’s old man, who is in his seventies, is the father of Party Secretary Lao Lin. He was the former Party Secretary of Laolin Village.
Old Mrs. Lin's prestige in Laolin Village is unmatched by anyone. He is also very stubborn. What he says is far more useful than his son, the real Party Secretary. Lin Party Secretary is also very filial to him.
It rained so hard today that people were hiding at home and did not dare to go out. Secretary Lao Lin was no exception. He was hiding in the main room, smoking a dry pipe and staring outside the house in a daze.
There was a very rare second plum rain this year, and the amount of rain was greater than what he remembered in 1954. He was thinking that this year would be another flood year, and the village's crop harvest might be halved.
He wondered whether he should wait until the next season and find a way to let the villagers plant some orchards, which might be safer than crops.
In his eyes, the new Secretary Tang is a good official. When he first came to Houshan Township, he focused on the Houshan Township dam. It was not like some cadres who didn't care about the lives of the people and just thought about how to improve the targets all day long.
If you develop data, you will be promoted and make a fortune.
Suddenly, a shrill sound of car horns came from the entrance of the village, waking up Party Secretary Lin: Most people were going to bed, who would drive into the village? According to common sense, it shouldn't be!
Party Secretary Lao Lin stood up and stretched his head to look outside the door, but it was already dark and the rain was falling heavily, so he could not see clearly what was going on outside. He had to close the door, return to the main room, and sit back on the chair again.
But not long after, there was a knock on his door: "Who is it?..." Old Party Secretary Lin asked loudly outside the door in surprise.
"I am Tang Kangming from the countryside." A middle-aged man's voice came from outside the door.
Party Secretary Lao Lin stood up from his chair. He was very familiar with this voice. Recently, he heard it almost every day. It was exactly what he was thinking of just now, Tang Kangming, the new party secretary of Houshan Township.
"Ah, Secretary Tang, why are you here? What's going on? Please come in and sit down." Secretary Lin quickly opened the door and found that it was Tang Kangming, secretary of the township party committee, who had appeared at his home with a large group of people.
outside the door.
"It's too late to sit down. Immediately notify all village cadres to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. Emergency meeting, hurry up!" Tang Kangming did not twist around, but directly ordered Party Secretary Lao Lin.
Party Secretary Lao Lin also realized the seriousness of the problem and immediately started arranging the meeting without having time to think about it.
The Houshan Township Dam is not far from Laolin Village, only about twenty miles away, but Tang Kangming and his team traveled for a full hour.
It was raining heavily outside and the road was so muddy that the car couldn't pick up the speed at all.
When the huge motorcade arrived outside Laolin Village, there was no one in Laolin Village. Even the guard dog hid at home and refused to go out.
Laolin Village is located in a "mountainous area" with limited traffic. Most of the houses are brick and tile houses, and there are even a few mud walls. It is a very poor natural village in Houshan Township.
When he arrived outside the village, Tang Kangming had a moment of hesitation. Everything in the village was quiet. Will the danger of mudslides mentioned by his son Tang Yin happen?
But when he thought about the serious consequences of a mudslide, he quickly made up his mind. Even if a mudslide did not occur in the future, and even if he was punished by his superiors for it, he could not allow a trace of danger to threaten the safety of the people.
The driver used a huge umbrella to cover Tang Yin, his son, and himself, but even so, everyone's lower bodies were still soaked up to their waists.
Tang Kangming set up the luminous telescope he brought and looked at the back hillside. What made him change his mind was that on the dark back hillside, there were large rocks and mud falling from time to time. It was obvious that the mountain did exist.
The possibility of a mountain collapse.
What made him angry was that after hearing the sound of a car, the observers he arranged hurriedly rushed out of the temporary observation room wearing raincoats. Apparently because of the heavy rain, they did not really conduct the 24-hour inspection responsibly.
observe.
When the two observers on duty stumbled towards Tang Kangming, Tang Kangming, who was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot, raised a big slap and each slapped his mouth: "You bastards, is this how you observe? Yamashita
There are hundreds of lives of ordinary people!
"Look back at the hillside and touch your heart. Is it still warm there?"
