60s Splendid Life

Chapter 397 The Flood Is Coming

The radio in the village rang again, and Captain Lu’s voice spread through the loudspeaker throughout the entire Lujia Village: “Fathers and folks, here I want to tell you a piece of bad news. It has risen, please adults and children in the village do not go to the river to play or fish, and every household should be prepared to prevent floods..."

"I repeat...if anyone needs help, please go to the commune office to apply."

"Every household, please be prepared to prevent floods, and do not leave the village unless necessary..."

The radio in the village rang for half an hour, and everyone in the village knew the news that the river outside the village was rising.The old people in the village have all experienced various natural disasters and floods, and they all looked a little dignified after hearing the news.

Secretary Lu led the village cadres to brave the heavy rain, and a group of households went to inform everyone to get ready.

Adults and children from every household in the village worked together to pack up the food, clothes and important items stored at home and move them to higher places.There are also some men who are building ladders, just in case there is a real flood, they can climb to the roof to take refuge as soon as possible.

At this time, Lu Jin in the factory also received the notice. The workers in the whole factory stopped their work at hand, and all of them braved the heavy rain to go to the warehouse to move things, and transferred the grain and goods in the warehouse to the second floor of the factory. room to put.

The river rose faster than they expected. At five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the river overflowed and entered their village. Walking on the road, the water reached people's ankles.

Fortunately, when everyone in their village built new houses in the past few years, they raised the floor a little higher, and the houses with higher floors are still safe for the time being.However, most of the old houses in the village are relatively low-lying, and some people living in old houses are more troublesome.

Families whose homes were in danger of flooding were moved to the homes of those with higher buildings to live temporarily, and the food stored in the home was also moved to other homes for storage. On the way, I saw many adults and children moving things in the heavy rain. The young and strong people in the village also dispatched to help.

"Grandpa, there is a lot of water outside, and there are fish!" Lu Haochen ran to the door of their house to have a look, and the door of their house turned into a pool.

Little Bao'er and Shen Xing also held umbrellas and ran to the door after their brother.

Seeing fish swimming in the water, little Bao'er's eyes lit up, and he discussed with his third brother: "Brother, let's catch fish!"

"Okay." Lu Haochen agreed without thinking.

"Don't run outside, it's raining heavily, come back quickly." Seeing the three boys running outside with umbrellas, Grandpa Yu shouted anxiously.

"I'll tell my brother if you don't come back." Lu Qinglian threatened.

"...You accuser!" Lu Haochen took his two younger brothers home because of his brother's threats.

Little Baoer was still thinking about the fish outside, and was dragged home by his brother reluctantly.

Compared with the kids at home, Lu Jin is not so relaxed in the factory. There are so many people in the factory that need to be arranged, and there are ten large warehouses that need to be moved. Hundreds of people in their factory Busy from noon to afternoon.

Fortunately, there are many people in their factory, and so many things are basically moved in one afternoon.

Since no one delivered food from the cafeteria, there may be no food delivered at this time, and the vegetables in the field may have been drowned by water.Fortunately, their factory is engaged in the food processing industry. In addition to storing enough food, there is no shortage of pickles and peppers. The dining hall still serves meals as usual, but the food is not as good as it used to be.

However, compared to some people who have no food to eat, hundreds of people in their factory can still eat their stomachs, which is already quite good.

Therefore, seeing that the food in the canteen is not as good as usual, no one has any complaints.

When Lu Jin finished arranging things in the factory and went home, it was already dark. The few of them waded all the way back, and the water outside was almost up to their knees.The water had reached the third step in front of their house, and there were three more steps above.

"Be careful on the way, come and find me if you need something." Lu Jin returned to the door of the house and waved to Lu Bowen and the others.

"Okay. Pay attention to your safety at home." Lu Bowen, his wife, and his younger brother and daughter-in-law went back to the village together.

***

"elder brother!"

Lu Haochen, who was at home, heard his brother's voice coming back, and ran to the door, with a few little heads protruding from behind.

One, two, three, four, five, exactly five.

My sister stood behind alone.

"Hey, how are you guys doing at home? Did you install the sandbags at the door? You did a good job." Lu Jin stepped over the sandbags blocked outside the door of the house, went into the yard, and closed the door with his backhand , went home.

"That's right, we pretended." Lu Haochen raised his head and chest, with a look of pride on our face, brother, please praise us quickly.

The other boys who also helped looked at their brother expectantly, waiting to be praised by him.

Lai Xiaodun, who came to the Lu family for a while, was assimilated, and even behaved like the Lu family.

"We are fine at home, but Lu Haochen still wants to take Xiaobao and the others to catch fish." Lu Qinglian saw that her brother's face and head were covered with water, and hurriedly brought a dry towel for her brother.

"You brat, don't you need a beating?" Lu Jin took the towel and wiped his face, then raised his hand and slapped the brat in their family.

"..." Lu Haochen held his head in both hands, and looked at his brother with eyes full of shock and disbelief: Brother, I was wronged!Fish catching was obviously proposed by Yu Xiaobao, so don't just think he's a good boy and just put all the crimes on me.

"Hee hee, brother, I like you the most." Xiao Bao'er threw herself into her brother's arms, turned to look at the third brother who helped him take the blame, and smiled slyly.

Lu Haochen: Forget it, whoever made my younger brother so cute can take the blame. Anyway, he has been used to it since he was a child.Then he fell into the sofa with a face full of lovelessness, and he swore: From now on, he will be a good boy!

"Have you eaten yet? Why did you come back so late?" Grandpa Yu asked.

Lu Jin poured himself a cup of hot water, drank a couple of sips, and then responded, "I've eaten. Let someone move things in the factory, and move the goods from the warehouse to the second floor of the factory building, so that the water won't really flood into it." In the warehouse, there are so many goods in the warehouse, if it really floods, it is really over."

However, the ten large warehouses of their factory are full of goods. If the goods in those ten large warehouses are destroyed, it will definitely affect the production of their factory. If there is no raw material for production, where can the goods be sold?And judging from the situation, some villages below are probably going to be submerged, and they might have to donate some money to help the disaster.

A lot of employees in their factory are going home arguing today, and some of them insist on leaving, but they can't stop them, so they have to let them go back.But some girls can't help them when they go back, they try their best to persuade these little girls to come down.

So it was a busy day, and Lu Jin felt very tired physically and mentally.

After slapping the boy who occupied the entire sofa, Lu Jin sat down in the vacated seat and asked the grandpa and children at home, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, eat, we've all eaten. There are rice and vegetables in the pot for you. If you are hungry, go eat." Grandpa said.

"Well. You guys should go take a shower and go to bed early today." Lu Jin was worried that the water would overflow in the second half of the night, and if it really overflowed, they would have to get up in the middle of the night to scoop water.This is not the most troublesome thing. They are afraid that if they fail to scoop them up, they will really have to climb the roof to take refuge.

At this moment, Lu Jin was very regretful that he didn't build his family's house into a small building on the second floor when he built the house. In case of a flood, he can sleep on the second floor, right?

It should be that after this incident, people in the village will build houses and small buildings in the future.Smaller buildings in the countryside should be an inevitable trend of rural development in the future, but now in their entire Lujia Village, except for the small buildings on the factory side, the houses in the village are all tile houses.

Fearing that something unexpected would happen in the middle of the night, Lu Jin asked his grandpa and the children at home to take a bath and go to bed. After the children finished their bath, he also took a bath, changed into clean clothes and went back out of the house.

Shen Yu didn't come back that day, so he didn't know what happened to that man in the town.

When Lu Jin was lying on the bed, he still couldn't sleep. He kept thinking about the water outside and the people in the town.His uncle may have taken people to rescue the disaster at this time, and I don't know what's going on with his uncle, hey...

I fell asleep with my head full of cranky thoughts, but woke up after a short sleep.

This time when Lu Jin woke up, he couldn't help but went out to look at the water, and found that the water was almost overflowing to their door.

Sandbags half a person's height were built in front of their house. Lu Jin was still not at ease, and ran up to carry the sofa in the middle of the night without sleeping.There were packed sandbags under the corner of their yard, and he carried them to the door one by one, and piled another layer of sandbags at the door where the sofas were piled up.

"Brother, I'll help you." Lu Haochen woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and saw a man moving things in the yard. Seeing that it was his brother, he found a raincoat and put it on, and ran over in the rain Move things with his brother.

"Brother, I'm coming too."

"And I."

"I want to help too."

One, two, three, four, five, six, even my sister came out.

All the children in their family ran out.

"...Aren't you all sleeping?" Lu Jin saw a group of children running out in the rain, and wanted to drive them away, but he didn't do that, and allowed them to help together.

"Hey, I got up to go to the toilet."

"I also got up to go to the bathroom."

Five boys, all five of them were reasons to go to the bathroom.

Only the elder sister was embarrassed and didn't say that she couldn't sleep. She heard the sound of the younger brothers running out, and she also came out.

Lu Jin found that he couldn't refute.

"Hurry up, go back to sleep after moving." Seeing that his grandpa had opened a house, he told his grandpa not to come over, and carried sandbags to the door with his group of children, blocking the gate.

When he came back after moving the sandbags, he asked a group of boys and his sisters to go to sleep, and he went back to the house to sleep.
