HCB Chapter 75 Flood
Chapter 75 Flood
"Ugh! This weather's so unpredictable, it's been raining for days!" Liu Meili said worriedly, looking at the weather outside.
"I heard it's raining everywhere today, and many places are flooded," Li Aiguo said casually to Liu Meili.
"The town officials notified the school, requiring all teachers to go to the river embankment for flood control and disaster relief."
Of course, it's not just schools; all adults in Longyuan Town are participating in this flood relief effort. I don't know where the news came from, but this continuous heavy rain is very likely to cause flooding. The water level on the river embankment has already reached the warning line.
Longyuan Town is a small town surrounded by water on three sides, and many people say that it is very likely that Longyuan Town will be flooded this time.
For a time, people were filled with anxiety. But through Yufei's efforts, the people of Longyuan Town watched their homeland gradually change for the better.
The relentless rain, falling day and night, may very well ruin everything they've been hoping for. Some pessimistic souls have already contacted relatives and friends in Longyang County to stay temporarily, while others are praying for divine intervention.
Many others, defying fate, actively went up to the river embankment, sweating and exerting their utmost strength to reinforce it.
Having experienced similar events in her past life, Yufei knew that many places suffered devastating floods in 1998, and many children of officials and soldiers lost their lives in the flood relief efforts.
Although Longyuan Town is surrounded by water on three sides, perhaps due to divine protection, the town was completely unaffected. There seemed to be only a small leak, which was quickly plugged, and everything else was fine.
In this life, the people of Longyuan Town are even more proactive in fighting floods and providing disaster relief. Yufei had heard in her previous life that the small opening was caused by a lobster.
In the past three years, crayfish have become known to the world ahead of time due to Yufei, which has led to the crayfish in Longyuan Town being consumed prematurely and replaced with farmed crayfish. Crayfish are now virtually nowhere to be seen in the Jiangti area.
Yufei has great confidence in their hometown; there won't be any problems.
However, because of these rumors, my aunt and uncle sent my younger and older cousins to her house.
In the past two years, Liu Meili and Yufei's grandfather funded the construction of a four-story Western-style house. The third and fourth floors belong to Yufei's family, while the first and second floors belong to Yufei's grandparents. Her aunts and uncles occasionally come to stay there.
My aunt has made a lot of money working for Junlin Group, and recently their gas station was finally privatized.
My aunt has significantly more savings in this life than in her previous one. Besides the shares her company allocated to its employees, she also purchased a considerable number of shares at Yufei's suggestion.
Liu Meijun also sensed that the flow of people in Longyuan Town was starting to increase. More people meant more sales for the gas station. After discussing it with her husband, they decided to invest the money they had originally planned to use to build a house into buying shares in the gas station.
Therefore, if something like this happens this summer, the only option is to send the child to Yufei's grandfather or Jiang Yifeng's maternal grandfather's house, in case the dam really breaks and the child is swept away by the flood.
Although Lin Tiantian's family moved out of the veterinary station and bought a house nearby, they bought a lower floor, the second floor.
After discussing it, Lin Tiantian's parents, somewhat reluctantly, asked if they could let the two siblings stay at Yufei's house for a few days.
Liu Meili definitely had no objections; her whole family was busy with the rescue efforts, and it was good that Yufei would have company at home.
So she simply invited Xu Junyi, her best friend's son, and a group of teachers' children to their home, along with several of Yufei's friends. There were plenty of rooms on the third and fourth floors, enough for them to sleep in.
If the situation is not optimistic, everyone should go to sleep on the fourth floor, with one or two people sharing a room.
Children love being around people, especially when they're with a group of close friends.
Xu Jun was precocious from a young age, and his growth over the past few years has made him even more like a leader; everyone trusts and respects him.
As usual, they completed their studies together in the morning. However, since Yufei implemented reforms at the school, the difficulty level of the lessons has been gradually increasing.
Originally, studying posed no challenge for Xu Junyi, but now that he had access to materials from the four major universities, he immediately became interested. He realized that there was indeed a significant gap between them and people in big cities; their social circles were too narrow.
This conclusion was reached by primary and secondary school teachers in Longyuan Town after careful research.
If it weren't for the disaster this year, Yufei, or rather, the Junlin Group as they knew them, would definitely have sent them abroad for further training again.
Last year I went to Beijing and participated in academic exchanges with some famous universities there. Strictly speaking, it was a one-way learning experience.
They gained a lot from the experience, and this year's students felt that the teachers' classes were easier to follow, which also boosted the teachers' confidence.
I had originally planned to study abroad again this summer, but with the disaster, my hometown has to come first. Without a home, there's no purpose in striving.
Xu Jun was so surprised by the wall of books in Yu Fei's study that he couldn't express it in words.
He looked around in amazement, as if he had entered an ideal land.
Yufei has some of the books he's longed for.
"These were all gifts from my parents' business partners. They know I love reading, so some of them travel all over the country and go to bookstores wherever they go to find good books for me. Of course, some of them even went abroad to find books for me."
When Yufei mentioned it to Xu Jun, Xu Jun nodded and began flipping through his favorite books without any hesitation. He also told the others that they could ask him if they had any questions about their homework in the morning.
Then he distributed the study plans he had created for each person over the past few days, telling them that he would check them at 12 o'clock, and if anyone hadn't finished, they wouldn't be allowed to play in the afternoon; they would have to stay with that person to complete the task and play together.
They certainly didn't want to be the ones holding everyone back, so they all put in their best effort to complete the tasks assigned to them by Boss Xu.
Of course, people's abilities vary. Some completed all the tasks in less than two hours and then very conscientiously went to Yufei's bookshelf to find their favorite books to read.
Some were still struggling with their homework, and those who had no other choice but to seek help from Boss Xu.
Whenever someone asks Xu Jun a question, he puts down his book and patiently explains the knowledge to the seeker.
Zhao Jing asked the most questions. She knew she wasn't very bright; she understood what the teacher said in class, but forgot it afterwards.
She was also very distressed. There was nothing she could do; now she felt that Boss Xu was like a god in her eyes! How could there be such a smart person in the world? Not only did he figure it out himself, but Zhao Jing also felt that his explanations were better than her teacher's.
What she had only vaguely understood from the teacher became crystal clear to her with his explanation, and she remembered it perfectly.
Look, this question was covered a couple of days ago, and she's writing it down like a pro! He's also incredibly patient; even though she's such a slow learner and asks so many questions, he doesn't show the slightest impatience and patiently explains everything to her.
Yufei's brother is such a nice guy!
