It was less than 4pm when we arrived at the provincial capital.

It is difficult to tell what time it is today because of the heavy rain.

I have to rely on the watch on Qin Hong's wrist to tell the time.

Mo Yan could actually tell the approximate time, but she still felt that a watch would be more convenient.

I thought I should buy one too.

Pei Zaizai saw the look on his mother's face. Although his mother did not show any envy, Pei Zaizai felt that it was just a watch, and it was so ugly at that. It was completely incomparable with the fancy ones in later generations.

But my mother doesn’t even have such a watch. How can this be possible?

I have to buy one for my mom too.

The little girl touched the pocket inside her skirt. It was sewn for her by her grandmother. Knowing that she liked to count money, she sewed an invisible hidden pocket inside her blouses and skirts.

There is more than a hundred yuan in the pocket now.

Pei Zaizai thought that with the current prices, more than a hundred yuan seemed not enough to buy a good watch for his mother.

I feel a little regretful that I should have brought the small bamboo bag that I used to hold my money.

Oops, bad decision!

"You shouldn't be off work by now, right?"

Mo Yan asked subconsciously, which immediately attracted surprised looks from Meng Qin and the others.

"How can we possibly get off work? With such a severe rainstorm, all the D staff and office workers are on duty 24 hours a day and have no time to rest. Who dares to rest?"

"Comrade Mo Yan, how about we go directly to my boss's office building?"

Qin Hong asked at this time.

Of course Mo Yan has no objection.

"Okay, show me where it is."

As Mo Yan spoke, she saw that the window, which was originally the size of an A4 paper, opened a little wider, allowing Qin Hong to stick his head out to see the environment.

The situation in the provincial capital is actually not much better than that in Peijia Village.

But the provincial capital is the provincial capital after all, and the proportion of buildings is not comparable to that of remote poor communes and poor county towns.

Although the water depth is the same one or two meters, the people here are much more enthusiastic and quicker in disaster relief than those in the county town.

The office building where Shannan No. 1 is located has not yet lost power.

Outside the entire compound, there are still people on duty at the duty posts.

If the heavy rain wasn't still pouring down, Mo Yan would almost feel that this moment was the same as usual.

You know what, doing this really gives people a sense of peace of mind.

Give the people the impression that these are just minor problems and difficulties that will soon pass.

The people on duty had already clenched their weapons at their waists when they saw a special boat that would make everyone look sideways coming straight towards the gate of the compound.

Just wait and see if the other party breaks in by force, then take up weapons to stop them.

As a result, he saw the small boat stopped accurately in the water in front of him.

Then a familiar face poked its head out of the boat's window, "Wang Dazhi, it's me!"

Wang Dazhi opened his mouth wide, and after a while he stood still and saluted, "Hello, Director Qin!"

"I have something urgent to report to my boss. I'll be in right now!"

"Yes!"

Wang Dazhi saluted again and put down his other hand that was holding the weapon.

Originally, they should have opened another door, but now it's flooded and the gate has been dismantled and has become useless.

Then the boat was seen speeding towards the compound again, heading towards the office building where No. 1 was located.

When Comrade Jiang Zhenguo saw Qin Hong and others, he was surprised at first, and then his eyes lit up.

Especially after seeing Mo Yan holding Pei Zaizai.

Without waiting for Qin Hong to introduce himself, he stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, "You must be Comrade Mo Yan, right? I am Jiang Zhenguo, and I am currently the head official of Shannan Province."

"Hello, Chief Jiang, I'm Mo Yan, and this is my cub, Pei Cub."

"Hey, don't call me Chief Jiang. If you don't mind, I'm older than you, so just call me Uncle Jiang. I'll call you Mo Yan too. This must be the very cute Niuniu that Qin Hong has always talked about. Hey, she is indeed cute and well-behaved. Hello, Niuniu, I'm Grandpa Jiang."

Pei Zaizai was stunned.

Then she smiled, revealing her small teeth. "Hello, Grandpa Jiang! I'm Pei Zaizai, my mother calls me Zaizai, and other uncles and aunts call me Niu Niu! I'm glad to meet Grandpa Jiang!"

"Hey, Grandpa Jiang is also very happy to see Niuniu! Has Niuniu eaten yet? It must not be easy for you to follow your mother all the way here. It's raining heavily outside!"

This time, Jiang Zhenguo's smile was obviously much more friendly and kind, and he even accidentally revealed his Shannan Mandarin with a cute accent.

"It's easy. Mom made a boat that can run very fast in the water. It has a roof and small windows on both sides so you can see outside, but the damn rain can't get in. Very quickly, we arrived at Grandpa Jiang's place. If you don't believe me, go to the window and look. Our boat is still downstairs!"

Pei Zaizai is a child, so he made full use of the characteristics of a little kid who can't lie and only tells the truth, and showed off that the heavy rain was no hindrance to them.

He even took the initiative to reach out and pull Jiang Zhenguo's sleeve, wanting him to go to the window of his office to look.

Jiang Zhenguo actually followed her force and went to the window.

I opened the window and stuck my head out, and I really saw the cylindrical green "boat" next to the steps in front of the building.

Rather than a boat, it was more like a large log with a section of it sawed off.

The so-called window cannot be seen from above.

I can't believe that such a large piece of wood can move so fast in the water.

Is this the effect achieved by plant-based abilities?

Otherwise, for such a small thing, being able to float in the water is already its greatest ability.

“Is this the way you came back?”

Jiang Zhenguo closed the window again and returned to his desk. His tone was more of emotion than confusion.

"Yes, leader, Comrade Mo Yan also lent a hand to rescue many trapped people along the way."

Qin Hong took the initiative to take over the conversation at this moment and reported to Jiang Zhenguo what he had seen and heard along the way and his judgment.

The purpose is to let the leaders know some of the situation at the grassroots level. After all, the heavy rain came so suddenly, and the manpower and material resources of the province are probably not enough to take care of all the prefecture-level cities, not to mention the counties and township communes below.

It is precisely because of this that we need a comprehensive and coordinated flood prevention plan.

Otherwise, if we rely on the local capabilities to carry out disaster rescue, there will be huge problems.

It's still okay in some slightly wealthier places, but in poor places where there may not even be a few boats, how can the trapped people be evacuated in such heavy rain?

After listening to Qin Hong's report and Meng Chang's occasional supplements, Jiang Zhenguo looked serious and thoughtful for several minutes.

Only then did he turn his gaze to Mo Yan and her daughter.

It was mainly directed at Mo Yan's face.
