Chapter 231 230. The heavy rain continues
"Crash..."

Lin Xiao was driving on the highway. Heavy rain was pouring down, hitting the dark body of the car in the dark sky, making urgent crackling sounds.

If you pull the camera far away, then add highlights.

This scene vaguely has the solemnity and charm of "Maybach in the rain".

It’s a pity that Lin Xiao’s car is not a Maybach, and it’s not late at night, so the atmosphere has dropped by 88%.

The typhoon made landfall on the southeast coast 24 hours ago.

Although Anyang County is thousands of kilometers away from the coast, the power of the typhoon decreases as it moves inland. When it reaches Anyang County, it is still enough to trigger a yellow rainstorm warning.

This is the highest level of heavy rain warning issued by Yizhou City since the beginning of this year's flood season.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be nervous.

Although he is not the leader in charge of flood control, after working at the grassroots level for several months, his concepts and mindsets have been successfully transformed, from the mentality of a "worker" in the provincial capital's streets to a mentality of a master.

This change in mentality can essentially be seen as a transformation from an ordinary cadre to a grassroots leader.

Although the deputy mayor is not considered a leader.

When team members joked privately, they all self-deprecatingly said, "I've become a deputy section chief, and I've got deputy section chief disease. I get stabbed every day, and it feels good but it's also cruel."

To put it in detail, he does not have as much freedom as an ordinary clerk, nor can he be in charge of a region as a regular clerk.

To put it nicely, he is a grassroots leader, but in fact he is just a slightly higher-level worker. He has to do all the dirty and tiring work, and he will be held accountable if something goes wrong.

It sounds like a very miserable existence, as if everyone dislikes this position.

But in fact, those who really sit in this position have immediately upgraded their positioning from "low-level minions" to "mainstays of the unit" since the day the promotion notice was posted.

The more grassroots the unit, the more valuable the deputy section-level position is, and the quicker one can adapt to the "leadership" identity.

This is the charm of power.

Power is the aphrodisiac of a man's life. Lin Xiao can feel the value of this sentence more and more.

Of course, as a deputy mayor who is not in charge of flood control, the reason why he cares so much about flood control is not because he wants to seize power or enjoy the feeling of power.

He simply felt that the heavy rain caused by this typhoon was different from the sparse rain in the previous two months.

His intuition told him that this time it was very dangerous.

That's why he was so worried.

Although he is not in charge of flood prevention, he is also a member of the Chaobai Town flood prevention team and a member of the main leadership team of Chaobai Town.

Plus, he is a native of Anyang County.

Psychologically, his position as deputy mayor is no longer just a job, but one that requires a strong sense of ownership.

Driven by this mentality.

Not only flood prevention, but all the work in the town that requires his cooperation and participation, he is willing to work tirelessly and take on all of them - except when he meets an idiot.

Of course, Lin Xiao did not have this awareness as soon as he arrived in Chaobai Town.

Although he served as deputy mayor for less than a year.

But his mentality has changed several times, and his current dedication, responsibility and proactiveness are the result of several transformations and emergence from cocoon to butterfly.

When he first signed up for the "Young Talent Program", his original intention was not pure.

The idea of ​​building grassroots organizations only accounts for 30%, while the other 70% are tired of the cog in the original unit and avoid and resist the idea that "my father-in-law and mother-in-law want to work hard to cultivate me."

The combination of these three factors prompted him to decide to go to the countryside.

At the beginning, I was also full of energy.

Revitalizing unfinished buildings and attracting investment to build factories have driven Chaobai Town's economic indicators to rise steadily.

Since the beginning of this year, we have set the general direction of developing rural tourism projects. Based on this goal, we have completed the construction of highway entrances and exits, revitalized the development of Laoya Mountain and the hot springs at the foot of the mountain, and are now steadily advancing the development of characteristic tourism projects in Xiaguan Village and Jiajia Village.

Although there were many accidents and twists and turns in the process.

But the overall construction direction is moving towards the established goal amid twists and turns, and a bright future is just around the corner.

Seeing his plans become a reality step by step, Lin Xiao feels very satisfied and has experienced unprecedented value in this career.

This kind of satisfaction and value is completely incomparable to being chased by fanatical fans shouting "I love you" every day when I was a top star in my previous life.

Lin Xiao also felt that he had found the meaning of life.

However, in the past two months, villagers have been making trouble, companies have been making trouble, and colleagues have been acting weird, all of which have impacted Lin Xiao's newly-formed professional ethics and life ideals.

Of course, under the gentle comfort of Han Xixi, the flower of eloquence.

Lin Xiao quickly digested these negative factors and recognized and absorbed a value, which is: just do good things and don’t worry about the future!
He regained his strength and continued to devote himself to those tedious, messy and even poorly understood grassroots undertakings.

The truth always lies in the hands of a few people.

He used this sentence to drive himself forward and work hard towards the goal of seeking welfare for the 50,000 people in Chaobai Town and boosting the economy.

With the support and comfort of his wife, the gossip outside no longer has much impact on him.

He had the courage to never return until he had conquered Loulan.

However, before arriving at Loulan, an accident happened again.

The deputy town chief Qin Zhenggang, whom he had always respected, was suddenly punished by the organization. When he asked about the inside story, it turned out that it was not because of how big a mistake he had made, but that he was pulled out to take the blame for the deputy county chief Ma Yongqiang...

Lin Xiao has heard this kind of "gossip" in the past few years since he started working.

I used to watch it for fun and didn’t think much of it.

But now, this kind of thing is happening around me, happening to the seniors and leaders I respect the most.

The impact this had on him was undoubtedly huge.

Logically, he and Qin Zhenggang were not close friends, and they had only been together as superiors and subordinates for a few months. Their revolutionary friendship was far less than that of the two deputy mayors, Tu Hui and Jia Minglu.

As for how Qin Zhen took care of him and guided him, there was even less.

Lin Xiao shouldn't have reacted too much to the fact that he was "dealt with". At most, he should have acknowledged his integrity and felt a little sorry for it, and that was it.

But in fact, this incident had no less impact on Lin Xiao than the accusations, disgust and hostility he suffered from relatives, the masses and Deputy Mayor Qiao Xuyang a while ago.

The reason.

The reason is simply that Qin Zhenggang's steadiness, dedication and responsibility are the epitome of many grassroots cadres.

Since Lin Xiao has devoted himself to this industry, he naturally hopes to see good people rewarded and good cadres promoted.

It was precisely because he held on to such beautiful expectations that when he saw Qin Zhenggang become a victim of the struggle among county leaders, he was so deeply touched that the life values ​​that he had worked so hard to reshape suffered a severe impact and were questioned.

Indeed, Lin Xiao has the support of his father-in-law who is at the deputy-department level, and the help of musician Ma Yao, so he doesn't have to worry about promotion or money.

But precisely because he had everything, and did not care about the meager salary of the deputy mayor, and did not worry about staying at the grassroots level for the rest of his life with no hope of promotion, he saw what happened to Qin Zhenggang and felt a sense of grief for the others.

So after some hesitation, he chose to rescue Qin Zhenggang.

Rather than saying that he saved a good grassroots mayor who was conscientious and people-oriented, it would be better to say that he saved the moral order in his own heart and his sense of belief and values ​​that would last his whole life.

After some tossing.

Qin Zhenggang turned danger into safety and escaped the fate of becoming a victim of the leaders' struggle. With the help of public opinion, he became a rising star of justice in Anyang County.

Lin Xiao also rebuilt the order in his heart and could continue to work hard for this career all his life with a clear conscience.

Hence the present situation.

Heavy rain collapsed and the sky rumbled.

He could have hidden in Ninghai, taking a nonchalant attitude and enjoying the rain with his wife.

But in the end, he still drove onto the highway.

The wipers were turned to the highest gear, making a "whooshing" sound like crazy.

He stepped on the brake pads carefully, controlled the speed of the car to 100 miles per hour, and sped away towards Chaobai Town, leaving a trail of steaming white smoke in the dim rain.

……

"Crash..."

Lin Xiao got off the highway in Anyang County and headed towards Chaobai Town. Before he reached the town government, he arrived at the Zengjiaqiao Reservoir.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it feels like the rain is getting heavier.

The wipers were already at maximum speed, but they still couldn't wipe away the heavy rain, and there was always a layer of flying rain mist on the windshield.

Turn from the national highway onto the provincial highway towards Zengjia Village.

Soon, we arrived at the direction of Zengjiaqiao Reservoir. The gloomy clouds and heavy rain brought the sky and the earth closer together, so that through a piece of farmland, the Zengjiaqiao Reservoir seemed to be standing in the mid-clouds.

Lin Xiao looked up and saw that the reservoir dam was full of people.

A few were holding umbrellas and most were wearing raincoats, but they seemed to be of no use in the sudden rainstorm and everyone was soaked.

On the high embankment, people were running back and forth.

Although it was difficult to see who was who, the chaos was so intense that I could still feel the haste and urgency on the shore even from a distance of several hundred meters.

Soon, two excavators and several sand and gravel trucks drove onto the embankment.

Lin Xiao knew about it in advance.

Although pipe bursts are dangerous, there is a high probability that they can be remedied if they are discovered in time.

For example, use the reverse filtration well method, find the outlet of the pipe burst, quickly build a reverse filtration well at the outlet, fill the well with sand and gravel for filtering, and install a water pipe at the wellhead to divert the seeping clean water.

The reason for this is that pipe burst points generally occur under the earth, stone or concrete structure of the dam, and the pores seep outward and carry away the silt.

As more and more silt is carried away, the holes will become larger and larger, and the support for the dam will become weaker and weaker.

In severe cases, dam breach or collapse may occur.

The reverse filtration well method is to set up filtration wells at the outlet point of the pipe burst to drain the seepage but prevent the sediment from being carried away. This can reduce the loss of sediment and maintain the support for the dam, preventing the dam from bursting or collapsing.

As long as the foundation is stabilized, the points where the pipe burst occurs can be repaired slowly until the danger of pipe burst is completely eliminated.

Of course, there are many ways to deal with pipe burst hazards. Solutions should be formulated based on the actual location, emergency situation and on-site characteristics.

Now.

Lin Xiao watched from afar as the workers on the embankment had already started digging well trenches in the downstream farmland. He also saw the sand and gravel transport trucks and guessed that they were going to use the reverse filtration well enclosure method to deal with the current dangerous situation.

Generally speaking, anti-filtration wells are used when there are few piping points and the situation is not so critical.

If there are multiple pipe burst points or the holes at the bottom are too large.

It would be too late to dig wells and filter them slowly, and I am afraid that the dam will burst before the filter well is completed.

So when Lin Xiao saw the disposal plan on the dam from a distance, he knew that the danger was discovered in time and everything was still under control.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Instead of rushing up to cause more trouble, he drove back to the town. After all, Chaobai Town not only has Zengjiaqiao Reservoir, a key flood prevention point, but also 16 administrative villages, 4 medium-sized and small reservoirs, more than 20 ponds, and the Chaoshu River which stretches for 15 kilometers. There are more than 200 dilapidated houses in various villages.

A typhoon passed through and heavy rain occurred suddenly.

Chaobai Town is difficult to find even on the map, but it is also the home of 50,000 registered residents. This is the duty and mission of grassroots cadres to stick to their posts.

Lin Xiao returned to Chaobai Town.

Qin Zhenggang was at the reservoir. The town's flood prevention work was presided over by Qiao Xuyang. Deputy town mayors Tu Hui and Jia Minglu had already arrived. There were also several committee members, department heads and some senior cadres with higher honorary titles. They were now sitting in the flood prevention and drought relief command center which was converted from a large conference room.

The conference room was full of water stains and footprints, and the air was so humid that it seemed as if it was going to soak people's hands and feet.

Lin Xiao arrived late, but no one blamed him.

When he sat down, he found that the chairs on both sides of the long table were occupied by the village heads of several administrative villages.

No one spoke in the meeting room and the atmosphere was very depressing and serious.

Lin Xiao felt strange and leaned over to Jia Minglu's ear and asked, "What are you waiting for?"

Jia Minglu had never gotten along with Lin Xiao before. He thought that he was a young man who came from above to gain experience and could do nothing but show off, so he was very dissatisfied with him.

Later, Lin Xiao won several large projects in succession and made the rural tourism development project very successful.

Jia Minglu was gradually convinced by him and began to have a good impression of him.

But although we have a good impression of each other, we can’t say that our relationship is very good.

The two people's responsibilities are clearly defined, with almost no overlap, and no need for cooperation.

So we don't usually have much contact.

The only intersection was the Jiajia Village rural reconstruction project promoted by Lin Xiao, which caused many twists and turns.

As an "official" from Jiajia Village, Jia Minglu was naturally placed with high hopes by his fellow villagers - those who did not get any advantage went to him for reasoning, and those who got any advantage went to him hoping to get even more advantage.

In this back and forth, Jia Minglu, who clearly had nothing to do with this project, was caught between Lin Xiao and the villagers and suffered from both sides.

Naturally, he also had some complaints about Lin Xiao's impartiality.

But complaints aside, Jia Minglu was still a good official with an open mind and an open mind. He also knew that Lin Xiao was strict and dedicated to the public, so he had no complaints when he suffered a little injustice.

In addition, there is a new deputy director in the town named Qiao Xuyang.

Compared with him, Lin Xiao is simply a rare talent, a man with great righteousness and a glorious character.

None of Jia Minglu's previous guesses about Lin Xiao came true for him, but they all came true for Qiao Xuyang.

Deputy Mayor Qiao is a young cadre sent down from higher authorities. He has no grass-roots experience and is only able to speak official language and use official rhetoric.

He can explain something that can be explained in one sentence, from the historical evolution to the current basis, from the ideals and beliefs to the development of the whole town, and finally say "analyze specific matters specifically", which makes you more dizzy than riding a roller coaster.

It’s not clear whether this leader can do his job well.

But he is definitely good at putting on airs.

Compared with him, Jia Minglu felt that Lin Xiao was so cute and adorable, and he became close to him inexplicably. Not only would he take the initiative to sit next to him in meetings, but he would also chat with him before the meetings and talk about family matters after the meetings, which caught Lin Xiao off guard.

Lin Xiao: Brother Ming, I still like your previous rebellious look!

As for Lin Xiao, he knew that Jia Minglu was actually a sincere person, so he was not opposed to interacting with him, and their relationship became better and better.

Now, he asked Jia Minglu about the situation.

Jia Minglu didn't hide anything and whispered in his ear: "Our deputy commander-in-chief is putting on airs and insisting on asking the heads of the 16 administrative villages to come to the town for a dispatch meeting to arrange the key tasks of this flood prevention emergency response!"

Jia Minglu smiled and emphasized the word "key point".

Lin Xiao frowned as he listened. "It's raining so hard that the Zengjiaqiao Reservoir has burst its pipes. The county has also issued an orange rainstorm warning. At this critical moment, why don't they let the village director stay in the village and call him to the town for a dispatch meeting? Aren't they just bored?"

Jia Minglu sneered, "Who says it's not true? This is the way the higher authorities behave. No matter how urgent the matter is, they have to put on a show of authority first!"

Lin Xiao was speechless: "No, each village has installed a video conferencing system, so can't we just hold a video conference to arrange it?"

Jia Minglu shook his head and said, "Our deputy commander said that the video conferencing systems in two villages have not been debugged yet, so for the sake of fairness, all village directors should come to the town for a meeting, which will also make it easier to dispatch and arrange!"

Lin Xiao was completely speechless at this train of thought.

Chaobai Town covers a large area. The farthest Fanjia Village is nearly 10 kilometers away from the town government and is not close to the provincial or national highway. If you want to come to the town, you must first cross the cement road between two villages and then drive on the national highway for ten minutes to reach the town.

In heavy rain and with so many twists and turns, not to mention whether the safety on the road is guaranteed, it will take at least an hour to arrive safely.

This is when you have a car.

But in fact, Nanzhou Province is not a developed coastal province. Its economic situation is not poor, but at least it still has a long way to go before it can become prosperous.

Among the village heads of the 16 administrative villages in Chaobai Town, only two have private cars. They usually come to the town for meetings by electric cars or motorcycles.

Such weather today.

No matter how the village heads choose to travel, it will take at least an hour and a half to gather all these people.

What's more, based on Lin Xiao's understanding of these village directors, it is impossible for them to come.

As expected, Jia Minglu sneered and said, "You didn't see it just now. Our deputy commander asked someone to call the village directors to come to the town for a meeting. Several village directors started cursing on the phone. These big brothers are ruthless. Sometimes they don't even give face to Qin Town. The village directors usually don't like Qiao Xuyang, a pretty boy sent from above. Now they ask them to come to the meeting in the heavy rain... Good guy, they didn't open fire on the spot!
"It seems that the deputy commander-in-chief is so embarrassed by the village directors that he is sulking here. He just slammed the table and said that the meeting cannot be held unless everyone is present. He also said that this is a discipline issue and a style issue. My goodness, he keeps accusing them of crimes. Even the most powerful person who passes by will be accused of a crime. I think we are going to have a hard time today!"

Jia Minglu had a tone of someone who was looking forward to watching the fun.

He worked his way up from the grassroots level and had seen bigger rainstorms and floods. So he naturally knew that today's rain was not serious and nothing dangerous would happen.

That's why now he can leisurely watch the fun here.

Lin Xiao was speechless.

He used to think that Qiao Xuyang was pedantic and had an air of authority, but now he realized that this man was really stupid and evil.

He couldn't help but speak up immediately: "Qiao Zhen, it's raining so hard now, it's not a good idea for so many of us to waste time here, let's hold a meeting to arrange the tasks first. Anyway, the 16 administrative villages have already been divided into groups, and several team members are here now. After you dispatch and assign tasks, we will go and connect with the village directors of the villages we are responsible for... Is this okay?"

As soon as Lin Xiao said this, everyone in the meeting room nodded, and they all realized that Deputy Mayor Lin was giving Deputy Mayor Qiao a way out.

After all, the rain is so heavy and the flood prevention task cannot wait.

If nothing dangerous happened this time, it would be fine.

If something really happens due to inadequate flood prevention arrangements, Qiao Xuyang, the deputy commander-in-chief, will be the first to bear the consequences.

There is no way Qiao Xuyang didn't understand this.

The reason why he was being so stubborn was simply because he was embarrassed by several village directors just now. Now that Lin Xiao was giving him a way out, his best choice was to come down quickly, arrange the work, and then adjourn the meeting.

Everyone felt that although Qiao Xuyang was insidious, hypocritical, and arrogant, he was not stupid.

So right now, he should wisely accept Lin Xiao's ladder and swallow his anger temporarily.

However, what no one expected was.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, Qiao Xuyang did not respond for a full five seconds.

Outside the window, the sound of rain continues.

In the conference room, five seconds are enough to change the atmosphere from expectation to doubt, and then to brew a thick layer of embarrassment and uneasiness.

Everyone in the room stared at each other in bewilderment.

Deputy Mayor Tu Hui had to speak up to smooth things over.

Qiao Xuyang spoke before he could, sneering at Lin Xiao: "Deputy Mayor Lin, the meeting was notified at 2 o'clock, but you came at 2:10. You were late for such an urgent matter as flood control... Is this your self-awareness as a member of the flood control command leadership team?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, he never expected that this guy would fire at him.

Everyone in the conference room was even more shocked.

Deputy Mayor Tu Hui was originally considering the right time to take control of the situation, but when he heard that Qiao Xuyang was about to overturn the table, he could no longer sit still.

He said quickly: "Xuyang, the meeting notice was urgent. We live close to each other so we can come faster. Lin Xiao lives in the county so it's normal that he came later... The rain came suddenly and everyone is worried and angry. This is normal. Let's control our emotions and talk about the business first, okay?"

After all, Tu Hui's qualifications are there, and no matter how arrogant Qiao Xuyang is, he dare not ignore Deputy Mayor Tu's face.

So I could only suppress my anger.

Of course Lin Xiao also gave Tu Hui face, but even if Tu Hui didn't speak, he would not fight with Qiao Xuyang.

With heavy rains approaching, reservoir pipes are bursting. The situation is not only critical, but it is also the most serious and urgent moment since the flood season.

No matter what, he would not fight with the deputy commander-in-chief in charge of flood prevention at this critical juncture. Doing so would only cause the situation to get out of control and would not be of any help to flood prevention work.

So even though the anger in his heart reached his head, he still forced himself to hold it back.

When Qiao Xuyang saw this, he felt that his face had been saved a little and his expression looked much better.

His tone was heroic and his words were sonorous. He first relayed the contents of the county's dispatch meeting at noon, and then arranged and deployed the key points, key groups, and important tasks in the town one by one.

That sounds about right.

But the fact is, because the flood season has already begun for more than two months, during the previous heavy rains, Qin Zhenggang presided over the meetings and had already explained the key points and relevant arrangements of flood prevention.

What Qiao Xuyang said now was exactly what Qin Zhenggang had said before, without any deviation.

However, the amazing thing about Deputy Mayor Qiao is that he can turn Qin Zhenggang's down-to-earth dialect into passionate official language full of parallel sentences, giving people a feeling that they can understand it but at the same time they can't.

So everyone felt that it was impressive.

But after the meeting, I thought about it for a while and realized: he is sick!
……

"Crash..."

The heavy rain is still continuing. The county meteorological bureau issues weather reports every half an hour. The latest data shows that the rain will weaken after four hours.

After the town meeting ended.

The team members led their teams to go deep into the villages they were responsible for and conduct inspections together with the village cadres.

It was afternoon and heavy rain covered the sky.

The early rice in Nanzhou Province has been harvested and the late rice has been planted. The seedlings in the paddy fields are happily enjoying the nourishment of the rain.

The villagers rarely have free time, so they stay at home playing cards, watching TV, or peeling peanuts.

Under the pouring rain.

There were also some people wearing dark raincoats, rushing through the rain, rushing to the river bank, dilapidated buildings, and low-lying spots, checking one by one, observing the water level, doing seemingly useless but actually useful inspection work.

The heavy rain continued and the inspection never stopped.

Night falls.

Lin Xiao returned to the town. As soon as he took off his raincoat at the office building, he learned that Qin Zhen had returned.

Upon further inquiry, we learned that the pipe burst hazard at Zengjiaqiao Reservoir had been successfully resolved.

Although he had expected this, he was still relieved to hear the good news.

I went to the office to drink some water, and then went to Qin Zhen's office.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard Qin Zhenggang's thunderous scolding from inside, almost drowning out the crackling sound of rain outside.

Lin Xiao didn't want to be disturbed, so he left quickly.

But just from a few words, he knew that Qin Zhen was upset because of Deputy Mayor Qiao's abuse of power in the afternoon.

As for how Qin Zhenggang knew about it - those village directors are not pushovers. In the whole town, only the mayor Qin Zhenggang can really control them. If they get a chance, they will definitely make up stories with exaggerated details.

As a result, Qiao Xuyang was immediately held accountable and was scolded by Qin Zhenggang.

Lin Xiao didn't have the evil taste to gloat over other people's misfortunes.

I returned to the office, opened the window and looked at the darkening sky and the heavy rain outside.

His face was very gloomy.

The weather forecast released by the county meteorological bureau in the afternoon said that the heavy rain would weaken in four hours.

But now five hours have passed.

The heavy rain showed no sign of slowing down. Instead, there were rumbling thunder and heavy rain, and it seemed like it was getting more and more intense.

It was getting dark.

The command center upstairs started video dispatch again.

That night, all the town cadres were stationed in the compound, and everyone slept uneasily.

Fortunately, the rain had indeed subsided when we woke up early the next morning.

Several puddles had already formed on the cement floor of the government compound. The raindrops from the sky could finally be seen clearly, creating egg-sized bubbles on the ground.

Although the rain is still not small, compared with the heavy rain that lasted for two whole days, the slightly weakened rain is considered good news.

All the cadres breathed a sigh of relief.

It's already Monday and we're back to work as normal, but almost all work has given way to flood prevention efforts.

The command center holds scheduling meetings several times a day.

All the cadres waded through the water and walked around the village.

Everyone hopes that the typhoon will pass quickly and the rain will stop, but the meteorological bureau's monitoring never gives an accurate time for the rain to stop. It just keeps delaying the time when the rain will subside, like a scumbag who is at ease.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...

Three days passed and the rain came and went.

The dark clouds in the sky never dispersed, and the rain switched between torrential rain and heavy rain with great difficulty, making people almost depressed.

Lin Xiao's hands and feet were all swollen and pale, looking very similar to pickled chicken feet, but a plus version.

The same is true for other cadres.

However, the heavy rain continued and everyone didn't even have the energy to complain. They could only grit their teeth and stand firm, feeling increasingly depressed.

Especially Qin Zhenggang.

As a town mayor who grew up at the grassroots level, he had the impression that such continuous heavy rain was not common even in South China.

Although the rain was not heavy overall.

However, because there have been intermittent heavy rains since the beginning of the flood season, the water levels of reservoirs and rivers have increased significantly compared to before the flood season.

On Sunday, a pipe burst suddenly occurred in Zengjiaqiao Reservoir. Based on his experience, he concluded that it was caused by the rapid rise in water levels.

The dam of Zengjiaqiao Reservoir was built 30 years ago.

It has been reinforced several times in recent years, but there are still safety hazards. Before this pipe burst occurred, a more serious danger had already occurred a few years ago.

Qin Zhenggang dared not to be careless.

Now the heavy rain is still continuing, and the water level of Zengjiaqiao Reservoir has approached the flood control limit level last night.

In theory, this water level is still safe.

But if the rain continues, considering that there have been two pipe bursts in the Zengjiaqiao Reservoir... we will have to consider emergency plans for flood discharge and evacuation of surrounding residents.

Qin Zhenggang stood in the corridor on the first floor of the office building, looking at the heavy rain in the yard that was as dense as sharp arrows.

His brows furrowed further.
