Rebirth as an official

Xu Kai's suggestion made Li An feel slightly, and then he shook his head and said, "I still want you to stay. It just rained and the road up the mountain was a bit muddy. Your off-road vehicle is very powerful and is used to transport all kinds of daily necessities." It’s best to go to the village.”

Xu Kai rolled his eyes and complained feebly, "Landlords don't exploit long-term workers like this."

Pushing open the door and walking into the village committee office, Chen Shanhe, who was cleaning, looked up and saw Xu Kai and the two of them. He smiled and joked: "What a good day it is today to allow Master Xu to go up the mountain in person."

Xu Kai turned on the irony mode without hesitation, "If I don't admire Brother Pheasant's style these days, I will feel uncomfortable."

When Chen Shanhe heard the word "pheasant", he immediately became anxious. He punched the mop in his hand and said loudly: "Xu Kai, you..."

As a result, Chen Shanhe was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say about Xu Kai.

Li An shook his head helplessly. Chen Shanhe, his friend, was really "a good guy and fun-loving". He clearly couldn't beat Xu Kai, but he always liked to provoke him in advance.

"Okay, let's stop making trouble and get down to business. Shanhe, please inform Wang Defu to come over." After Li An finished speaking, he made a call to Liu Changfa.

It didn't take long for the two of them to rush over.

Wang Defu, still covered in mud and water, came in and said half-jokingly: "Mr. Li, why are you calling us here in such a hurry? Yesterday's heavy rain washed away the pig pen at home. It's really repairing it."

"Zhishu Liu, Director Wang, I called you here today because there is something important that you need to do." Li An didn't have time to say polite words and went straight to the point.

"Chief Li, please tell me." Seeing Li An's solemn expression, Wang Defu immediately corrected his attitude and listened carefully.

"According to reliable information, in the next few days we will have heavy rains that have not been seen in 50 years, and landslides and mudslides are very likely to occur. Now we must seize the time to prepare for flood prevention and disaster relief."

"Mr. Li, is the news reliable?" Liu Changfa stood up nervously.

Liu Changfa is the oldest here. He experienced flash floods when he was a child and knows how terrifying mudslides can be.

"Absolutely reliable, there will be continuous heavy rains in less than five days." Li An nodded in affirmation.

"Then we have to get ready quickly. Mayor Li, what do you need me to do?" Liu Changfa's expression also became serious.

"Chief Li, just give your orders. I, Old Wang, will definitely obey the arrangements." Wang Defu also stood up to express his position.

Chen Shanhe was stunned when he heard this. What's going on? Wasn't this a drought that just happened?Why is the flood coming again?

Li An saw that the main leaders of the village committee had expressed their opinions, so he stopped talking nonsense and went directly to arrange the work.

He first looked at Wang Defu and said: "Director Wang, you are relatively young and familiar with the distribution of households in our village. Please find out the population of our village in the past few days. I want to know the accurate living situation. How many households there are? Halfway up the mountain and at the foot of the mountain. How many people live at home? Give me an accurate list. If a mudslide occurs, these residents are most at risk. These people must move to a safe place before the heavy rain comes."

"Okay, I'll go for a walk later and visit every house."

Li An also looked at Liu Changfa and said: "Liu Party Secretary, you are responsible for gathering people to reinforce the classrooms of our primary school. The terrain of the primary school is high, and I want to place the relocated villagers nearby in the primary school. Then build a house next to it. to store necessary supplies.”

"No problem. I will gather people later, prepare the materials and start working." Liu Changfa nodded.

"Li An, what about my mission?" Chen Shanhe finally realized what he was doing and quickly stood up and asked urgently.

Seeing his friend's impatient look, Li An handed him a bank card and said with a smile: "Shanhe, there is 5 yuan in this card. Your task is more important. You and Xu Kai are responsible for going to the city." We purchase daily necessities here. For example, mineral water, instant noodles, etc. are needed to accommodate the villagers for a week. It is not an easy task to transport all these things back to the village."

When Liu Changfa saw the bank card handed over by Li An, he said with some emotion: "Head Li, how can I spend your money? Our village should pay for it."

Li An waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Now is not the time to divide it between you and me. Let's use this money first. I'll leave Murakami's affairs to you. I have other important things to deal with, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, Li An told them a few more words to pay attention to their safety, and then hurriedly took Xu Kai's car to the train station.

Xu Kai watched silently as Li An finished all this without saying a word.

On the way back, Xu Kai finally couldn't help but said: "Li An, is it worth it for you to do all this? If the flood had not happened, have you thought about the consequences? You are gambling with your political future."

Li An kept looking at the mountain road ahead, with a hint of self-mockery at the corner of his mouth: "With a clear conscience, I hope there will be no floods, even if the price paid for this will be high."

At seven o'clock in the evening, a black Buick Regal parked under the No. [-] Building of the Municipal Party Committee Family Courtyard.

Wang Xuguang got out of the car first and walked quickly to the rear door and opened it.

Chen Xingsheng dragged his tired body out of the car. Wang Xuguang handed over the briefcase in his hand and said respectfully: "Secretary Chen, please go to bed early."

Chen Xingsheng took the briefcase from Wang Xuguang's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, you and the driver should go back to Yangdong early. I can just take the car back on Sunday."

Wang Xuguang said quickly: "Secretary Chen, you have to take more breaks these days when you are running back and forth from the countryside to the county and then to the city. It doesn't matter if we make one more trip."

Chen Xingsheng shook his head, forced a smile on his tired face and said, "I'm not that pretentious, just do as I say."

After Chen Xingsheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the building, but as soon as he took a few steps, a figure flashed out.

Since the sky was completely dark, the sudden appearance of a person was startling.

Wang Xuguang reacted quickly, immediately stepped forward to block the figure, and said sternly: "Who is that person?"

"Secretary Chen, it's me, Li An." Li An scratched his head.

Only then did Wang Xuguang see the person clearly through the moonlight. He breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help complaining: "Li An, why are you so sneaky?"

"I was just looking for a place to smoke, and I hurried over when I saw the secretary's car." Li An said a little embarrassed.

"Xiao Li, why are you looking for me so late?" Chen Xingsheng patted Wang Xuguang and motioned for him to get out of the way.

"Secretary Chen, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. But I have something important to report to you. Can you delay for a few minutes?" Li An said urgently.

"It doesn't matter, just say it." There was no bored look on Chen Xingsheng's face.

Li An collected his thoughts and said: "Secretary Chen, in a few days, the Yangdong area will usher in the heaviest rainstorm in 50 years, and it will last for more than a week. I just want to come over and tell you that we must each The township should make preparations for flood prevention and disaster relief in advance.”

Chen Xingsheng's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "Xiao Li, where did you get this news?"

Li An smiled bitterly in his heart, "I knew I would ask this, hey, how should I explain it."
