Chapter 107 As long as our lives are still there

This time, he was really impressed by Xia Chan. Her courage, decisiveness, and ability to rebuke Fang Qiu were very suitable for her.

When the captain heard this, he couldn't help but smile, as if all the worries of the past few days had been wiped away, "Xia Chan is indeed capable, and she doesn't need our training, she can even take up the post directly, as long as we This small mountain village cannot keep her!”

The deputy captain thought about it. Strong people will go higher and higher. How can they stay in the countryside? Only old guys like them stay in the countryside.

Aunt Lin brought up a cup of ginger tea and handed it to the captain. After drinking it, the captain said, "It's easy to get confused when there are many people. Just maintain order below. Don't worry about me."

Although there are team leaders and deputy team leaders, they have no experience after all. Village cadres are still needed to maintain order. Aunt Lin is the female director of the production team and is also a village cadre. She supervises everyone below to maintain order and prevent everyone from getting into chaos.

When everyone is hungry, the family will take turns cooking in one pot. There are thirty pots, so it only takes two or three batches to finish the meal, and it is not troublesome. When there is no need to cook, just boil hot water for everyone. There is always hot water to warm your body, so you won't get sick from colds.

Xia Chan was walking towards her home. As she walked, she picked all the vegetables that could be picked, so as to reduce some losses. When she came near her home, she saw that the small stream was only a few meters away from their house. distance, even if it is not flooded today, it will be flooded tomorrow.

Xia Chan didn't waste any more time and hurried down the mountain.

The water in the village has already flooded the open space in front of everyone’s door. Fortunately, everyone was arranged to evacuate in time, otherwise who knows how much damage would have been caused!

Xia Chan arrived at the captain's yard and moved the tractor directly to the largest living room of the hotel suite. Then he quickly went to the "Crossing Mall" to buy a loud speaker. After recording, he walked outside with the loud speaker.

"There's going to be a flood. Everyone, move to higher ground or to the city..."

Xia Chan shouted all the way from Yong'an Production Team to the town entrance. She walked very slowly on the way and walked back and forth several times to make sure that people from the surrounding production teams could hear her. Because their production team was the only one with a tractor in the area, if she drove a tractor and shouted, everyone would know it was her, and they would definitely suspect the source of the loudspeaker in her hand, so she chose to walk.

When she returned to the village for the last time, the water had already reached her calves. Xia Chan didn't dare delay any longer and hurriedly ran up the mountain from another direction because she was afraid that the small stream near her home had already flooded to her doorstep. If she went over, wouldn't she be asking for death?

When they reached halfway up the mountain, Xia Chan was exhausted and panting. She quickly went into the hotel suite, went to the kitchen to get a bowl of hot chicken soup and drank it. Then she went to her room to rest and set the alarm for two hours later.

As soon as the alarm rang, Xia Chan got up quickly without tidying herself up. She had been down the mountain for a day or two and should have been haggard and dishevelled. If she tidied herself up neatly and easily, wouldn't others think too much?
Coming out of the hotel suite, Xia Chan carried a backpack on his back, held another backpack in his hand, and walked towards the cave, holding a bamboo pole. The backpacks were wrapped in plastic cloth so there was no need to worry about the things inside getting wet.

It took three days from the time Xia Chan went down the mountain and drove the tractor to the time she arrived at the entrance of the cave. It rained all the time during these three days. Although the rain did not increase in intensity, it did not decrease in intensity either. In other words, the rain lasted for a total of one week.

Don’t even think about the food in the fields; the most important thing is to save your life.

Seeing Xia Chan appearing breathlessly at the entrance of the cave, the captain who had just come up from the bottom of the cave hurriedly took the backpack from Xia Chan's hand, "Xiao Chan, how are you?" Xia Chan nodded, "I'm fine, the tractor has been parked on high ground, it shouldn't be flooded, don't worry, captain uncle!"

"Xiao Chan." When the brothers saw Xia Chan coming back, they all ran up hurriedly. Xia Bin took the things in Xia Chan's hand, while Xia Qi helped Xia Chan down to the area that belonged to their family to rest.

Xia Chan took clean clothes from the basket and went behind the straw mat to change clothes. Xia Qi then brought her some hot ginger tea and asked Xia Chan to drink it quickly.

Many families brought their kang mats and thin blankets with them, so everyone sat on their own kang mats, and the family squeezed together. Xia Qi also sat on the kang mat, letting Xia Chan lean on her legs to rest, and covered her with a thin blanket.

Xia Chan was really tired, so she leaned on Xia Qi's legs and fell asleep to the sound of raindrops hitting the mountain. She didn't have nightmares anymore, and it seemed that she had survived her crisis.

Those who were responsible for raising rabbits, pigs, and cattle all took good care of their animals and did not let them disturb everyone's rest. Many people were resting, so there was not that much noise in the cave. However, everyone took turns cooking. After one family finished cooking and was full, it was the next family's turn to cook. So there was always someone cooking in the cooking area. Everyone had prepared their meals, and there was not much noise while eating, as they were considerate of other people in the cave.

Everyone at the educated youth point, the male educated youth leaned together with the male educated youth, the female educated youth leaned together with the female educated youth. At this time, no one was making trouble. They all sat quietly or closed their eyes to rest.

Liu Li often glanced at Xia Chan, but there was a lot of space between them and sometimes his sight was blocked by others and he couldn't see at all.

This time we really have to thank Xia Chan for notifying them in time, otherwise, I don’t know how much loss their youth league site would have suffered.

The next morning, it was still raining, and the team leader called a few strong laborers to go out and check the situation. They walked to a place with a wide view and overlooked the village and land below the mountain. They saw that the area below had become a vast ocean, the fields were flooded, and half of the houses were flooded. Only the roofs could be seen. For some houses, even the roofs could not be seen. It was estimated that the houses were washed away.

When everyone returned to the cave and told everyone about the situation, many people burst into tears.

Xia Chan walked to the entrance of the cave and struck the gong heavily. The scene instantly became quiet. "Don't be afraid, everyone. If our house is destroyed, we can rebuild it, a better and stronger house. If we run out of food, don't worry. When the rain stops and the water level recedes, we can continue to plant. As long as we are still alive, our lives will get better and better."

"It's easy for you to say. It's already July. How can we plant anything in such a short time?" an old lady retorted, crying.

"That's right!" Immediately a group of people started to make a noise.

The captain struck the gong and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to Teacher Xia. Teacher Xia has read a lot and knows a lot."
