Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars
Chapter 137 Flood is Coming
The days passed and soon it was late July.
The wind howled, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunders exploded in the sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky. It seemed that God wanted to let go of the rain that had been held back for several months.
In fact, there have been several heavy rains since July, and the drought has been alleviated.
But it seemed like this evil God was enjoying his rain. Each time it rained, it was getting heavier and longer, sometimes lasting for several days.
In the big river in the middle of the farm, the raging flood, mixed with grass and trees, was flowing down the river, and the river water was almost overflowing the shore.
"Liu Fuhan, Wu Guoquan, Xie Yongkang, from now on, you guys in the team will stay at the ranch and don't come here. You have to cook your own meals and bring as much vegetables as you can. Your top priority now is to ensure the safety of the chicken coop and cowshed. Nothing else matters. Do you understand?" Li Guohua shouted in the rain.
Connecting the north and south banks of the farm is a simple stone bridge. It was fine at normal times, but now that the flood has hit, they have to run back and forth all the time. Li Guohua is really afraid that something might happen.
Just let them live and eat there so they can be ready for any emergency.
"Understood, Director!" Liu Fuhan and others shouted together.
Li Guohua had mentioned these situations before and had made relevant plans, so everyone was calm and knew what they should do.
"Yutian, take your men to the west bank and check if there are any trees or debris. Make sure to clear them away immediately!"
"Okay, Director!"
"Hong Yiyou, Wang Guishan, Ma Jun, Zhou Peng, take some people to the fields to have a look. There is a canal that is blocked. Make sure to clear it in time!"
"Yes, Director!"
"Manager, what should we do?" Zhang Hongyan and Liu Yongmei asked hurriedly when they saw that everyone else had something to do except themselves.
"You guys go to the east, and remember to bring your awnings and hats. Women are different from men!" Li Guohua said, pointing to where the sun rises.
"Hmph, Manager, you look down on us too much. What men can do, we can do too!" Zhang Hongyan picked up the hoe, turned around and left.
Li Guohua was stunned. That was not what he meant. Women have their periods and getting caught in the rain will cause dysmenorrhea. But how can he explain this?
"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, a large area of cucumber racks has collapsed!" Zhao Yunhu said as he ran over from a distance.
"Go find your brother and have people pick all the fruits that can be picked, and then set up the racks again!" Li Guohua commanded.
Zhao Yunhu quickly picked up a large basket and ran out.
Looking at the crowd, some of whom were working in the rain without even wearing clothes, especially the group of women who were caught in the rain, Li Guohua said, "Xiu Xiu, Xiao Hu, go make a pot of ginger soup and add some brown sugar to drive away the cold for everyone!"
"Okay, Brother Guohua!" Zhou Xiaohu said.
Although we made a lot of preparations in advance, we didn't expect that there would be so many problems when the heavy rain really came.
The most important thing at the moment is that the farm is running out of wood. There are more than 200 people on the farm, and a lot of wood is used every day. Although Zhang Zhiyong is leading people to collect wood continuously, a lot of it is wet, and every time they cook, there is a choking smoke.
Qi Wei stood in the office, staring at Li Guohua commanding and assigning work to everyone, and couldn't help but be dazed for a moment.
He was jealous and anxious.
What made him jealous was that he reported Li Guohua's planting to the ministry, but Deputy Minister Xiao turned a blind eye, allowed him to do what he wanted, and even asked him to learn more.
At that moment, he wanted to dig open Vice Minister Xiao's brain to see what kind of nonsense Li Guohua had fed him. Planting sweet potatoes during a severe drought, what a joke.
What worries me is that after the farm finished planting, it kept raining. If I had listened to myself and planted wheat and corn, the farm's harvest this year would have been ruined.
I really doubt if this guy is God's illegitimate son. You make it rain hard when he grows sweet potatoes.
He has become a decoration on the farm now, and no one listens to him. Every day at work, he just drinks tea, reads the newspaper, or chats with He Xin and others, and then goes to eat on time.
He has become a big joke in the ministry now, a typical negative example. What he fears most is that one day, Deputy Minister Xiao will feel that he is useless and ask him to return to the ministry.
After finishing the work at Chaoyang Farm, Li Guohua asked Zhang Tao to keep an eye on it while he rushed to Nanjiao Farm.
Li Guohua was busy here, and Director Wang and Deputy Minister Xiao were also very anxious.
The heavy rain has been going on for three or four days in a row. Flooding has begun to occur in many places in the capital. In some places, the water in the streets and alleys is knee-deep.
If the streets are like this, how much better can the factories be? Materials from outside cannot come in, and finished products from inside cannot go out. Many factories have already stopped working and production.
"Wang Shaosheng, is there any news from the farm?" Deputy Minister Xiao asked anxiously.
He had invested a lot of resources and endured a lot of pressure to build the farm. If it failed, it would damage his prestige.
"Old leader, no, there is no phone at the farm, and I don't quite know what their situation is!" Wang Shaosheng complained.
This heavy rain not only affected the production process of the textile factory, but also affected the livelihoods of thousands of people in the textile industry.
I don’t know how Li Guohua is doing now. It’s raining heavily today. I don’t know if the vegetables can be supplied. He didn’t come to the factory to ask for help. Maybe something went wrong.
After talking to his old leader on the phone, Wang Shaosheng was still a little worried, so he took Zheng Aimin and rushed to Nanjiao Farm.
When he arrived, he found Li Guohua there, naked, roasting potatoes with Yuan Fu and a few others.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Zheng, why are you here?" Li Guohua asked curiously as he looked at the two men who were soaked like drowned rats.
Wang Shaosheng was fine, but Zheng Aimin, in particular, was wearing a pair of glasses and after being drenched in water, he couldn't even see the road clearly.
"You kid still have the mind to roast potatoes here. Do you know how worried I am about you at the factory? How is the farm now?" Wang Shaosheng asked unhappily.
"Hey, it's alright, so I didn't go looking for you guys!"
"Don't be so frivolous!" Zheng Aimin said.
"Reporting to the leader, everything is normal on the farm! The granary has been inspected in advance and drainage ditches have been dug. There is no water accumulation now, and the grain is very safe.
A month ago, we started planting water spinach, water celery, as well as melon, cucumber, tomato and other vegetables, which will not affect the vegetable supply of the textile factory.
But it’s raining heavily outside now, so we can’t drive. I’m afraid we’ll have to use mules and horses to transport the goods starting tomorrow.” Li Guohua stood up and said.
"Okay, well done. Is everything alright over at Chaoyang Farm? Show us around!"
The three of them braved the heavy rain and ignored the puddles and mud to take a walk around the farm. After listening to the situation report from Chaoyang Farm, Wang Shaosheng finally felt relieved and put his mind at ease.
Before leaving, he reminded him to go to the factory to find him if he had any problems, and asked Zheng Aimin to arrange someone to send some rain and cold protection supplies to the farm.
