The Era of Hard Work

Chapter 369: shocking river embankment

   Chapter 369 The shocking river bank

  In the early morning, after putting on the camera and backpack, Lv Dong came to Jijie and asked Li Wenyue to go to the Qingzhao River for a walk together.

  The people from the village committee got up earlier. Accounting Li was bringing Red Star and other people to paint the walls along the street. The slogans such as common prosperity and prosperity were replaced by brand new slogans.

At the gate of the    brigade, the new red slogan is quite eye-catching.

   "Only one is good!"

  Li Wenyue was watching people spray painting, and Lu Dong also went over.

   Accountant Li saw the two of them and asked, "Where is this going?"

   Lu Dong said, "Turning along the river." He pointed to the new slogan that was spray-painted, and asked, "Uncle Ma came over last month and only sprayed a new one, why did you change it again?"

"The superior's request." Accountant Li shook his head and said, "Last year, the county's family planning work was not done well, and was named and criticized by the above. The family planning commission was under great pressure. The county has also issued documents, and we must cooperate.”

   Li Wenyue said: "People from the Family Planning Commission kept seeing us start work before leaving."

   Accountant Li sighed and said, "Whoever wants to do this offending work has to hand over the fine, and the village can't afford it..."

   Lu Dong said, "We will do whatever the above asks."

   "Yes." Accountant Li said, "I heard that it's going to be real."

   Lu Dong greeted Li Wenyue: "Let's go."

  The two went north along Jijie Street and found many new slogans painted on the walls along the street.

   "Equality between men and women, both boys and girls are the same!"

   "Late marriage and childbearing, fewer births and better births!"

   "Witness pregnancy, birth certificate!"

  It was probably specially selected before the painting in the village, and there were basically no severe slogans like "one person exceeds the whole village ligation".

From the north entrance of Jijie, in front of the bridge leading to Majia Village, along the small dam and on the embankment, Lv Dong and Li Wenyue walked eastward first, and stopped after a few dozen meters. There is a ten-meter-long opening on the embankment across the river. The inner edge of the opening is a normal soil embankment, and the outer edge is a temporary plug built by sandbags.

   This was the breach in the summer of 1998 when the officers and soldiers of the army formed a human wall with their flesh and blood.

  A year and a half later, the outer woven bag has long been damaged, and a lot of dry soil has fallen on the riverbed. Occasionally, the wind blows, and there will be bursts of dust.

  The opening didn't burst, the opening was blocked, and the flood was held back, without causing serious consequences.

   Then, it seems to be forgotten by everyone up and down, and no one has repaired it for such a long time.

   The embankment on the side of Lvjia Village was repaired once last spring, and no one in Majia Village took care of it.

  Li Wenyue hasn't been here for a long time, pointed to the other side and asked, "Is it always like this?"

   Lu Dong opened his backpack and took out his camera: "When the flood falls, everyone forgets it. Last year, the water was not big, so I didn't think it was a problem."

  Li Wenyue looked at the embankment that was obviously reinforced under his feet: "This side of our village is easy to repair, and there is no fear of flooding over there, and the scar is forgotten."

   "Majia Village has no money, and the village committee has no appeal." Lu Dong has learned specifically: "If the above does not support, who will pay? After the flood, no one is willing to pay."

   Lujia Village repaired the river embankment, the third grandfather never thought of asking the villagers to raise funds, because he knew that it would be extremely difficult.

  Lu Dong took out his camera, squatted on the river bank, and took pictures at the gap on the opposite side.

  Li Wenyue took the folder and recorded the relevant damage with a pen.

  The two went further east along the river bank, and soon left the area of ​​Lvjia Village, but below were the responsible fields of Lvjia Village, and the river bank naturally belonged to the Lujia Village section.

  This area has also been reinforced, all the way to Tiger Head, which is more than a thousand meters to the east, and even the pits dug out of the outside of the embankment have been carefully filled.

  The contrast between the north and south banks is stark. The embankment has been washed and baptized by the flood of 98, and then the rain forest is exposed to the wind and the sun, and it seems that the aging speed is faster than before.

   On the side of the river bank in the north facing the riverbed, there are too many places, and the rammed layer of the outer layer of the three-heaped earth has fallen off, exposing the loess part inside.

   Without the protection of the outer three-layer soil, the ordinary soil layer inside cannot withstand flooding at all.

   When I didn’t look carefully, I didn’t think it was a big deal. I looked at it carefully and thought of the flood in 1998, which can only be said to be shocking.

  Lu Dong kept taking pictures, and soon finished a film, and then changed the film and battery to continue shooting.

Li Wenyue followed him without using written records. The two walked farther and farther, and soon passed Laohukou. There is a river crossing bridge on the Quandao Expressway, the river embankment in the section of Lujia Village and Majia Village, and the east side of Kangjia Village. Take this bridge as the dividing line.

The section of the river under the    bridge is almost filled with garbage. All kinds of industrial waste and domestic waste are almost blocked under the bridge into a garbage dam.

   Lu Dong and Li Wenyue avoided the garbage and carefully crossed under the bridge. The embankment on this side was even more dilapidated.

On the north and south sides, not only the inner rammed soil layer has fallen off in large areas, but the outer soil layer can see large pits dug by people from time to time. The river embankment, which was originally a few meters thick, can run a tricycle. In some places, the soil is even two meters thick. Not anymore.

Building houses or factories in rural areas requires a lot of good soil. It is not practical to dig soil in responsible fields or private plots. They are all peasants who dig and eat in the ground. Everyone knows the importance of good soil, and they dig a lot. production will be severely affected.

   Soil embankments don’t need to be considered so much. It’s not in their own land, and no one cares. Just dig as much as you want, and don’t dig the levee that collapses.

  The inside and top of the river embankment are made of rammed soil, and the outer layer is ordinary soil, so there will be grass and jujube trees on it.

  It is extremely rare for such a long embankment to have to catch one place and dig it down and collapse, so all I see is a big hole dug every other section.

   Not to mention the river reaches of these outer villages, before the maintenance last year, similar situations were not uncommon in Lujia Village.

   There are also many people who build new houses in Lujia Village. No one is stupid enough to dig their own land. They must find a way to dig soil.

   As for digging other people's land, except for those who have a hole in their brains, they will not do it. It will really show a full martial arts.

   There are too many pits to take pictures, so Lu Dong can only choose the biggest ones to shoot.

  Li Wenyue had personally experienced the great flood and felt it personally. Looking at the openings in the riverbank, he couldn't help but say, "This is going to be another one. It's a miracle to last a day."

   Lu Dong was not so optimistic: "With two-thirds of the previous year's game, we have to become a mud swamp country."

   After another film was shot, Lu Dong stopped to change a new film.

   Li Wenyue squatted on the river bank, threw a piece of dirt into the river with thin ice, and asked, "Dongzi, you hand in this proposal at the meeting, will someone take care of it?"

   Lu Dong told the truth: "I'm not sure, I'm not sure at all. I'm optimistic."

He thought about it and said: "There is a 20% possibility that the above will pay attention to it and send people to inspect it immediately. It is included in the key construction and renovation projects of Qingzhao in the past two years. There is a 40% possibility that the above can pay attention. But it is limited to various factors such as financial income and economic environment, and it is left to the next one to solve it. There is still a 40% possibility, just like the report that the third grandfather makes every year, the mud cow goes into the sea. "

   "I hope it's not useless." Li Wenyue is a college student and is used to thinking on the bright side.

   Lu Dong smiled: "No way."

   Li Wenyue said again: "The big flood was unable to wash down, I hope it won't be poured out in a smaller flood."

   Lu Dong said: "I hope there will be no floods in the next few years."

  Although every summer rainy season, the water of Qingzhao River will skyrocket. Sometimes the bridge deck between Lvjia Village and Majia Village is only forty or fifty centimeters away, but the flood that really threatens the river embankment has never happened again.

   This situation has been until 2019, in Likima in 2019, because of the torrential rain that fell in a short period of time, from the upstream reservoir to the downstream villages, there was an emergency.

   But during this period, the embankment of the Qingzhao River withstood the test.

  Thinking of this, Lu Dong suddenly realized that he had been ignoring an extremely important issue!

   A problem that was easy to think of, but because of misunderstanding, it fell into the dark under the lights.

Very, very important, because Qingzhao didn't have another major flood until Likima, and even part of the river burst, let him always remember that from 1998 to 2019, the Qingzhao River embankment has received every rainy season. test……

   But he forgot one thing, this embankment is not another embankment!

  The great flood in the summer of 1998 submerged Lujia Village, and most of the entire village was washed away. The flood went south all the way to Luozhuang, and many villages were affected, shaking the spring up and down.

  It must be rebuilt after the disaster, and the embankment is naturally the top priority. The embankment in the Lujia Village section was rebuilt, and the other sections also underwent a major repair.

  After the flood, the entire Qingzhao River embankment was re-reinforced!

   Therefore, in the rainy season every summer, the turbid river water cannot threaten the embankment of the Qingzhao River!

   In the past two years, there may not be a lot of water, but after a few years, it is hard to say.

   Lu Dong knew very well that because of him, the Qingzhao River did not burst its banks in Lujia Village, and the subsequent series of reactions did not occur. From Lujia Village to the surrounding Liuwan, Zhangwan, and even Luozhuang, all the fates had undergone a huge change.

   This influence even expanded the university town and even the entire Qingzhao.

   Correspondingly, because the embankment did not burst, not only did a commendation meeting for flood fighting and disaster relief were held, but the problem of the embankment was not paid much attention to.

   Is this a negative influence from him?

   Lu Dong thought for a while, and it was not difficult to see why he ignored such an important issue, because in some respects, he was rather selfish.

   Basically what I think about is how Lvjia Village is, and I rarely think about other villages.

   Seventh Uncle's words are all spoken directly, but he doesn't say it, why doesn't he agree with Seventh Uncle's words about the river bank?

   He pushed the third grandpa to repair the embankment of the Lujia Village section, promote the reconstruction of the village primary school, and promote the development of factories.

   As for the outside of Lvjia Village, if you think about it carefully, it might not have been the Seventh Uncle's idea that Lvjia Village would be safe if the dykes burst upstream.

   Lu Dong would not take the unmaintained pot of the Qingzhao River embankment against himself, but his determination to promote this proposal has become even greater.

   Packed up the camera, Lu Dong continued to walk forward: "Wen Yue, let's go forward a bit, then go to the north bank, turn back and go west."

   Li Wenyue followed: "Okay, I'll follow you."
