After arranging for Lao Lou to purchase irrigation facilities, Cui Xiangdong felt much more at ease.
The water pump factory in Tianbei Province is famous in the Jiangbei area, and its quality is absolutely must-have.
certainly.
Even if Cui Xiangdong takes out all the money for this purchase, the water pumps and water pipes purchased will not be able to supply the entire Yunhu County, or even several towns, for emergency use.
But he can ensure that the crops of the more than 30 natural villages in Rainbow Town, which he presides over, are protected from death by the scorching sun.
Currently, this is how powerful he is as the mayor.
Cui Xiangdong couldn't go to the county or city and tell the main leaders that Qingshan was about to experience a severe drought, right?
To be honest, no one will believe it.
Afterwards, you will definitely wonder how he has the ability to predict the unknown: "Hey, young man, you must be stunned. Come on, let's go to the laboratory and do a full-body biopsy."
"No matter what, I have to persuade Xiaoya downstairs. I hope she can listen to me and use part of the money from selling fish to buy as much irrigation equipment as possible in advance."
When Cui Xiangdong whispered these words to himself, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Click!
Before he could react, a thunder exploded in the dark night sky.
All the glass in the factory trembled rapidly.
Immediately afterwards.
Raindrops fell from the sky.
The last heavy rain before the severe drought and the biggest rainstorm in several years came just on time.
Not even a little bit of face was left for Cui Xiangdong, a reborn person.
Cui Xiangdong quickly turned around and rushed into the office and came to the rest room.
He was afraid that the thunder would wake up Jiaojiao, who was sleeping soundly.
Children, especially little girls, are afraid of thunder at night.
fine.
Because there are more people in the factory after unloading goods during the day, Jiaojiao, who used to take naps, has gone crazy without taking a nap, and now she is terribly sleepy.
The loud thunder did not wake her up.
This is a good thing.
After making sure that the child was still sleeping soundly, Cui Xiangdong helped her cover the mosquito net, turned around and hurried out.
Because Cui Xiangdong decided to work overtime tonight to install the production line tonight, Lao Zhangtou asked for leave after seeing the message, saying that he would go home to see his grandson tonight.
There is no one in the communication room.
Cui Xiangdong braved the pouring rain and came to the communication room. He looked at the windows and doors to make sure there was no water.
"With this heavy rain, there won't be any house collapse or other accidents in the villages, right?"
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window and the lightning flashing in the sky from time to time, Cui Xiangdong was really worried.
He returned to the office in the rain, picked up the phone, and called Lou Xiaoya.
Before the thunder exploded, Lou Xiaoya had just returned from Dean's house.
As agreed with Dean Wen, she saw her natal brother tonight.
As President Wen said, my mother-in-law's brother is an honest and honest man, and he also listens to his sister's words.
When Lou Xiaoya stared at him with scrutinizing eyes, her natal brother named Wen Rulong was so nervous that he almost wet his pants.
For such an honest man, no wonder his wife ran away with someone else.
well.
Anyway.
Lou Xiaoya was very satisfied with Wen Rulong and asked Dean Wen to go under the overpass in the city tomorrow and find a forger to apply for a fake marriage certificate.
Even if it was a fake marriage, Lou Xiaoya still couldn't cross the threshold of getting married to Wen Rulong for real!
She decided to get a fake marriage certificate.
Anyway, no one would deliberately go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check her ID.
In today's era, people recognize a couple mainly based on whether they have held a wedding.
After obtaining the false certificate, Lou Xiaoya will send wedding candies to the leading cadres in the town to announce the good news.
But they don't set up a banquet, let alone hold a wedding ceremony or anything like that.
She believes that all colleagues will definitely understand the difficulties of a second-married woman.
After being widely advertised, Lou Xiaoya would go to Dean Wen's house for a period of time at night (lied to the public that she went to Wen Rulong's house).
so.
No one would think that this is Cui Zhen's seed because her belly is getting bigger.
After finally settling the "life-long event", Lou Xiaoya felt even more relaxed.
But he was frightened half to death by this thunder!
She has been afraid of thunder at night since she was a child.
After her marriage, every time there was thunder, she would hide in Cui Xiangdong's arms and tremble.
Besides, she was pregnant with a baby now, so her fear of thunder was even more sensitive.
But the man who could give her a great sense of security was no longer by her side.
Toot.
The sudden ringing of the phone made the pale Lou Xiaoya, as if she saw light in the dark night, quickly pick up the phone and put it to her ear.
No matter it was a phone call to her, as long as she could hear a human voice, the fear in her heart would be reduced.
"Secretary Lou, I am Cui Xiangdong!"
The man's voice from the microphone made the trembling Lou Xiaoya calm down in an instant: "I think the rain will not be light today. We'd better notify the villages in advance and take precautions." Prepare for the possibility that the house will collapse. Evacuate the villagers who are still living in the adobe houses to safe areas overnight. We should also ask the cadres of the whole town to be prepared for emergency rescue at any time."
"good."
Lou Xiaoya immediately said: "I am responsible for calling the village cadres in the South District (south of the town center), and you are responsible for the North District. In addition, you are responsible for notifying the deputy mayors, and I am responsible for notifying the members of the Standing Committee."
Cui Xiangdong replied: "Okay, I will return to town for duty immediately after making the call."
After calling the village chiefs and others, Cui Xiangdong rushed out of the office in the rain and came to the workshop.
The delicate appearance is not like the lightning and thunder outside the workshop. It just carefully checks every screw on the equipment.
But she is afraid of the dark——
Just after Cui Xiangdong told her that he was going to town and asked her to stay with Jiaojiao in the rest room, the power went out.
It is completely normal for circuits to trip due to lightning and thunder, or heavy rain.
"ah!"
The sudden darkness made Min Rou scream in fright. Out of pure instinct, she jumped into Cui Xiangdong's arms.
Cui Xiangdong was startled: "What are you doing?"
"I-I'm afraid of the dark."
Min Rou replied with a trembling voice.
"You're afraid of the dark, and you can see it in my arms? It's true."
Cui Xiangdong complained, pushed her away, turned and left: "Let's go, I'll take you to the office."
There are not only flashlights but also candles in the office.
Click!
When another thunder exploded, the rainstorm became even heavier.
The strong wind was like an invisible hand, breaking a branch of the sycamore tree in the yard.
The branch as thick as a bowl, with a crown of several square meters, hit Min Rou, who was covering her head with her hands and running towards the office.
"careful!"
With the help of lightning, Cui Xiangdong saw all this clearly. He shouted hurriedly, raised his hand and grabbed Min Rou's arm, pulled her into his arms, and turned around suddenly.
boom.
Cui Xiangdong felt as if his back was hit hard by a big hammer, and he fell to the ground while holding Min Rou.
"It hurts."
When Cui Xiangdong thought this subconsciously, he heard Min Rou in his arms shout in horror: "Uncle!"
