Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 50 Sudden Arrival
On August 8, dark clouds began to gather over the capital, strong winds rose, and it began to rain. At 6 o'clock in the evening on August 8, it seemed as if a hole had opened in the sky, and heavy rain poured down!

After Gu Weijun woke up in the middle of the night, he stayed awake for a long time. If such a heavy rain lasted for too long, it would be no joke. Don't you see Zhengzhou in the future?
At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, seeing that the rain had not abated, Gu Weijun hurriedly woke up his younger brother and his parents, "Mom and Dad, don't go to sleep yet! It's been raining for an hour! It's still raining!" I'm worried that the rising water will enter the house. If the house is soaked in water for a long time, it will easily collapse!" After turning off the power, he found that the lights were not on. After Gu Weijun found a candle in the house and lit it, he continued:
"You guys get dressed first. I'll go out and see where the water has risen outside."

Gu Weijun opened the door while wearing a vest and big pants. As soon as he opened the door, the wind and rain blew into the house. The raindrops hit his body and hurt. When he looked out with a flashlight, he saw that the water in the yard was already there. The white flowers rose to a level.

Gu Weijun quickly closed the door, returned to the bedroom, and said to Dad and Mom, "Mom and Dad, the water has risen to a certain level. There is water in the yard and it can't be drained out. I'm going to call everyone in the yard. This house is in It’s soaked in water, it’s not a trivial matter if it collapses!”

Then Gu's mother quickly found Gu Weijun's poncho. After Gu Weijun put it on, he told Gu's mother that I would come back later to move out the bricks from under the cabinet in the main room and find a board to raise the threshold!Then Gu Weijun rushed into the wind and rain!
With such a heavy wind and rain, the poncho didn't work at all. In an instant, Gu Weijun was drenched by the rainwater coming in from his neck. Gu Weijun looked around and couldn't see clearly from 1-2 meters away. However, there was light in the second uncle's house, so he was probably worried. The rain was so heavy that everyone got up.

Gu Weijun found his way first and went to the deaf old lady's house. After waking up the old lady, he went to Xu Damao's house and called Xu Damao up, "Don't sleep, it's raining too much! The house is soaked in water! Look again." Is there any water leaking in the house?"

Then Gu Weijun rushed to the middle courtyard and knocked on the window of the first man's house. The first man in the house shouted: "Who? What's wrong?" Gu Weijun shouted: "Master, get up quickly, the water in the courtyard outside has risen to the steps! "

When the uncle opened the door, Gu Weijun wiped the rain from his face and said, "Master, the rain is too heavy. We need to shout out everyone in the courtyard quickly, especially to see if the water seepage in the house is serious? If it is serious, hurry up Move! The house has collapsed!" "Wait a minute, wake up Silly Zhu, and ask him to go stay in the old lady's room and look at the old lady's room."

"Boards should also be put up inside each house to save water from coming up later and flooding into each house!"

After hearing this, the aunt quickly found the poncho for the elder. The elder put on the poncho and went to wake up Silly Zhu and ask him to go to the old lady's house in the backyard.

Gu Weijun went to Qin Huairu's house and shouted through the door: "The water has flooded in the yard outside. Have you got up? Get up and find a wooden board to block the back of the threshold!"

Qin Huairu shouted in the room: "Junzi, there is nothing in the room!"

Gu Weijun replied: "You guys will wait a moment!" He went to the front yard again, knocking on doors and windows and calling people.Finally, Gu Weijun picked a few wooden boards from the debris in the house, handed two to Qin Huairu's family through the crack in the door, and then returned home and left two for his own family.

After Gu Weijun told his parents and mothers to go and have a look at the factory, he went straight to the steel rolling mill without entering the house!

By the time Gu Weijun made the difficult journey to the steel rolling mill, Secretary Huang, Factory Director Li, Section Chief Zheng Chao and others were already at the south gate of the factory, and workers and comrades were rushing here one after another!They are all voluntarily protecting national property!
When Secretary Huang saw Gu Weijun nodding, he continued to command despite the wind and rain, shouting: "Comrades who are coming, please go to the steel rolling workshop first, and work with Director Yang to plug all the leaks in the workshop! Don't let the equipment soak. In the water!" "Director Yang, Director Nie have gone to the steel rolling workshop to organize the comrades who arrived first to fight the flood! Comrades who come here, while protecting themselves, please be sure to protect national property!"

Then Secretary Huang said to Factory Director Li next to him: "Director Li, please organize the comrades from the logistics and canteens who have arrived at the factory to see if you can boil a few pots of ginger soup and let the comrades drink the hot soup later! "

Director Li wiped the rain off his face and replied: "Secretary, I will go to the cafeteria immediately. I am also good at making ginger soup. I just saw the director of the cafeteria coming. Let's get started!"

Secretary Huang nodded and began to arrange the security department again: "Chief Zheng, look how many comrades from the security department have come? Immediately arrange the comrades from the security department into two teams. One team will participate in the flood fight in the factory and go to the workshop to help block water. , carry the equipment; a team immediately went to the family area to inspect, and the lives of the family members must be protected!"

Section Chief Zheng Chao immediately replied: "Yes, Secretary, Section Chief Hao has already led the colleagues on duty from the Security Department to pile up slag in key locations in the factory to make it waterproof. I will immediately take the comrades who arrived to inspect the family area!"

At this time, Tiezi Zhao Chenggang also arrived at the factory gate. Secretary Huang looked at Gu Weijun next to him, suddenly remembered something, and said to Section Chief Zheng: "First take Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang to find the electrician class in the factory! Both of them are I know how to be an electrician, but I'm worried that there aren't enough people in the electrician class! We can't guarantee the power supply, and it would be a big deal if there is a leakage!"

Section Chief Zheng nodded and immediately took Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang to go to the power distribution duty room first. Lao Sun from the power distribution duty room was already running around anxiously in the duty room. When he saw Section Chief Zheng bringing someone in, he quickly said: " Section Chief Zheng, with such heavy rain, we cannot afford to lose anything in terms of power! I just went out to check the high-voltage room, and there is no problem now, but other wiring must be checked quickly!" "Chief Zheng, Gong Wang and Gong Liu have just arrived and have already gone to check the lines. Can you please arrange for the comrades from the security department to inform the people in our electrical class who haven't come yet! We don't have enough manpower!"

Section Chief Zheng pointed at Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang, "Squad Leader Sun, these are the people the secretary specially found for you first. Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang both know how to be electricians. Please help me first. In case of emergency, I will go to the family area to inspect. When I meet an electrician Comrades in the class will inform them!"

Lao Sun held Section Chief Zheng's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Thank you so much, Secretary and Section Chief Zheng!" After Section Chief Zheng left, Lao Sun said to Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang: "Little comrades, thank you! Come on, let me tell you the inspection route first. Do you hurry up and check whether the lines are damaged? We must ensure the lighting of all workshops and factories! Now the power is out and we dare not supply power. Comrades can't see clearly. In this way It's too dangerous to carry out flood control operations!" Then, Lao Sun ignored the pleasantries and took Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang to explain the route map in the factory. After planning the route, he said to Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang: "You two follow the route. This inspection route goes to Gong Wang and Gong Liu. They are more experienced. You two young comrades listen to them more. Come on, you have to carry these things!" Lao Sun pointed to the electrical equipment and equipment prepared in advance. A bundle of cables, and a ladder.

Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang carried various equipment, cables and ladders on their backs. After bidding farewell to their old grandson, they rushed into the wind and rain and rushed to the second route point, where they found Wang Gong and Liu Gong.Gong Wang and Gong Liu were struggling to straighten the wooden pole. Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang quickly took a few steps and stepped forward to help!

After straightening the wooden poles, the four people built three wooden poles diagonally into a triangle and reinforced them with iron wires to prevent the wooden poles from falling down again.Continue to the next line point. At each line point, you have to check whether the wooden pole is firm, and then climb to the top of the pole to check whether the line is complete!Climbing telephone poles is especially dangerous under strong winds and heavy rain. Gong Wang and Gong Liu asked Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang to help below because they were inexperienced. They only asked Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang to climb when they had no strength.

The most troublesome thing is that the telephone poles fall down, are broken, or are disconnected. If these three situations occur, you must first bring down the telephone poles and untie the cable lines. After the telephone poles are straightened, the cable lines must be set up again. Finally, the wires must be repaired. rod cable for testing.

Fortunately, as more and more comrades from the electrician class came to the factory, the power repairs in the factory finally accelerated, and the troubleshooting and repairs were finally completed in 2 hours.When the entire steel rolling mill started to receive electricity, cheers came from all the workshops!

Secretary Huang's voice rang out from the radio at the right time, "Comrade workers, thank you for your hard work! Our logistics department has prepared anti-cold soup and dry food for everyone. Due to manpower constraints, we cannot deliver them to all workers. Please, workers, Go to the canteens in an orderly manner to drink!" "All fellow workers, please pay attention to your own safety and protection, and pay attention to keeping warm and cold!"

As soon as Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang discussed it, they prepared to say goodbye to the people in the electrical class and go to the cafeteria to drink some ginger soup. After working hard for 2 hours, they were indeed thirsty and tired!I mentioned it to the people in the electrical class, and it turned out that a group of them went to the cafeteria together, and they were all exhausted!Comrades waiting to get off the electric power class not only ensure the power supply in the factory, but also go to support family areas.

When they arrived at the canteen, Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang found that Yang Yu was also there, pouring cold-repelling soup for the workers who came to the canteen. They were surprised to find out that it was Yang Yu who called Yang Yu when he went out and asked him to find Gu's father.After meeting Dad Gu on the way, we went to the affiliated hospital together first. After moving all the medicines from the Western and Chinese pharmacies to the second floor, Dad Gu sent him over to deliver Chinese medicine and make cold-repelling soup with jujubes, ginger, and brown sugar!
Dad Gu and several other doctors went to various workshops to check whether any workers were injured so that they could be treated in time!
The three brothers looked at each other and smiled. After chatting for a while, they sent Xiao Yu to continue distributing the cold-repelling soup.Gu Weijun and Zhao Chenggang drank the cold-repelling soup from a tea vat and ate two steamed buns. After cleaning the tea vat, they separated from each other. Zhao Chenggang went to find Secretary Huang, while Gu Weijun went to the security department duty room to find Chief Hao first.

When Gu Weijun saw Section Chief Hao Chuan in the confidential room, he almost laughed. Section Chief Hao's round face was streaked with black and yellow. The black ones were slag, and the yellow ones were the parts of his face, especially the eye circles, which were all black. With Chief Hao’s red eyes
Gu Weijun suppressed his laughter and said to Chief Hao: "Chief, you've been up for half the night. Are you sleepy? Do you want to wash your face and refresh yourself? Or squint for a while?"

Chief Hao's eyes widened, and his face was full of righteousness, "Where are you now? I remember when I was a soldier, I stayed up for days and nights, beating the Japanese to the ground!" It's a pity that it matches his picture. His face was full of comedy. Gu Weijun finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Chief Hao was very dissatisfied when he saw this, "Why did you come here? Old Zheng went to inspect the family area and didn't call you?"

Gu Weijun replied aggrievedly: "My section chief, I arrived at around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, and was arranged by Secretary Huang and Section Chief Zheng to go to the electric power class to help check and repair the lines!" He pointed at the light, "Otherwise the factory The power is restored so quickly?" "Otherwise, even if the backup diesel engine is turned on in the power distribution room, the electricity will not be able to pass through!"

Chief Hao raised his head and looked at the light, and he seemed to have let Gu Weijun go. He said to Gu Weijun: "You can sleep here for a while. It seems that the rain won't stop for a while. I guess we will continue to intensify inspections later. To prevent accidents. I’ll go out and take another walk, and I’ll rest when Lao Zheng comes back from inspection.”

Gu Weijun didn't answer. He went outside with a basin and came back with half a basin of rainwater and half a basin of tap water. "Section Chief, you'd better wash your face quickly. Your face is covered with ashes." Chief Hao finally realized what he had just done. Gu Weijun laughed that there was something on his face, glared at Gu Weijun fiercely again, picked up the soap, and washed his face vigorously.

Chief Hao threw the towel to Gu Weijun, "When I go out, you can take off your clothes in the confidential room and dry yourself to save yourself from catching a cold!" "Turn out the quilt again, squint for a while, and cover yourself. Cover it!" "I'm lighting a fire on the stove, and you can dry all your clothes."

After saying that, Chief Hao was about to go out, and Gu Weijun quickly followed, "Chief, let's go together, I'm not sleepy now!"

Chief Hao pushed Gu Weijun back to the confidential room, "You know nothing! Are you patrolling with me? Isn't the confidential room unmanned?" He turned around and walked into the wind and rain.

Gu Weijun could only shout from behind: "Section Chief, you go to the cafeteria first and have a bowl of cold-repelling soup!"

Chief Hao seemed to have heard it, but he did not turn around. He just waved his hand and gradually disappeared into the wind and rain. He could only vaguely see the light of the flashlight swaying and looming!
