The scorching sun was in the sky, and it was as hot as a big steamer under the embankment.

The work of filling sandbags continued, and everyone was sweating profusely. The mung bean soup sent by nearby villagers and the four large barrels of tea water sent by the logistics support team of the Linghai Reserve Battalion were quickly finished.

Seeing that everyone was thirsty again, Dongdong quickly used the intercom to notify the logistics support team that the water was out.

The picket team was now led by the logistics support team of the "Hong Kong Garrison". They quickly came and carried away the four large thermal buckets. After a short wait, they not only delivered four buckets filled with tea made from tea leaves, but I also brought a large bag of Huoxiang Zhengqi Water and Fengyoujing.

Huoxiang Zhengqi water can prevent heat stroke. One bottle per person must be drank.

Fengyoujing is used to refresh your mind. If you feel dizzy, you can apply some on your temples.

The taste of Huoxiang Zhengqi water is not really good. After drinking it, Wang Peng hurriedly went to get a cup of tea, squatted in the slit and packed shed, and looked at the No. 2 loader that was transporting steel plates to the embankment, curiously. Question: "Dongdong, why are you transporting the steel plates up there?"

"Let's build a bathroom for you."

Dongdong wiped his sweat and said with a proud smile: "My dad and the others are coming to Hanwu soon. When my dad and the others get here, we won't have to worry about running out of water. Then we can take a bath every day."

Wang Peng heard him talk about the water support company and asked in surprise: "Do you really have a water plant?"

"Of course it is true. The waterworks ship was modified by my father."

"Where's the lifeboat?"

"The life boat is just a barge. Barges already exist."

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, finally the water formation arrived.

For all the officers and soldiers of the Linghai Reserve Battalion, including Dongdong, it is really a blessing in disguise.

The more Dongdong thought about it, the more excited she became, and she said with an embarrassed look: "Brother Wang, when my dad and the others arrive, we won't live in the tent with you. We will live on the boat then."

"Can there be room for so many people on the ship?"

"It's definitely a good place to stay. It was a good idea before I came here."

Dongdong chuckled and continued: "But don't worry, except for the accommodation, everything else is the same. My uncle told Mr. Zhang last night that he would try his best to help you improve your living conditions. The food will be better than now. It's time for dinner They will be staggered so that you can line up to eat in the canteen on our ship."

Wang Peng asked in surprise: "Is there a canteen on the ship?"

"The large cafeteria is actually a large conference room that can seat hundreds of people. There is also a large air conditioner in the cafeteria."

“It even has air conditioning, the conditions are so good!”

"The big barge used to be the office of the Linghai Port Engineering Headquarters, and the conditions were certainly good. The small barge was my uncle's former police station, and it was also where my aunt worked, and the conditions were pretty good. When I was in elementary school, I would go there during the summer vacation. We go to a small barge to play, and when it’s hot, we stay on the barge because it has air conditioning.”

No one in the family runs a boat, so Wang Peng can't imagine Dongdong's childhood life.

Dongdong didn't know what Wang Peng was thinking, and said with excitement: "Brother Yang, Brother Chen, if you keep on holding on, there will be delicious food if you hold on until tomorrow!"

"What's good to eat?" A soldier turned around and asked.

"There's all kinds of delicious food. Anyway, it's better than what we've had in recent days. Have you tried the buffet? Starting from tomorrow night, we can eat the buffet every day."

"real?"

"I'm kidding you, I'm a puppy. I've seen the menu. There are steamed buns, steamed buns, and porridge in the morning. There are several dishes and soups at noon. There are also several dishes and soups in the evening. But it's not the same as at noon. Every day. It won’t be the same!”

"that is real good."

"There are also late night snacks, and there are meals to eat during the night shift. I almost forgot, there are fruits for breakfast, lunch and dinner. When the time comes, not only tea and water, but also cold drinks will be sent here."

"Any cold drinks?"

"Sour plum soup, chilled with ice."

“Where does the ice come from?”

"We have a cooking boat with a refrigerator and a big freezer!"

The soldiers were stunned for a moment, unable to believe that such a good thing could happen.

What's more important is that I already eat well, and even give out a pack of cigarettes a day. How can it be better than now?

Seeing that they didn't believe it, Dongdong said with excitement: "I have actually read the menu. If you don't agree with me then you can come to me. In fact, this is how our camp ate when we were training in our hometown."

"What's on the menu?"

"In the morning, there are meat buns, pickle buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, porridge, dried radish, pickles, fried pickles and mustard. At noon, there are hot and cold dishes. The hot dishes include at least four meat dishes, braised pork, and pickled vegetables. Meat, braised chicken drumsticks, steamed eggs with minced meat, braised chicken nuggets, braised pork ribs, shredded pork with pickled vegetables, shredded fish-flavored pork, braised lion head...it's on rotation every day."

The soldiers were drooling as they listened.

Dongdong was even more excited and said, "Vegetarian dishes include sour beans, stir-fried cabbage, stir-fried dried green peppers, stir-fried baby greens, fish-flavored eggplant, stir-fried beans, stir-fried cauliflower, braised tofu, tomatoes, eggs, and stir-fried cabbage."

“Scrambled eggs with tomatoes are not vegetarian.”

"It is a vegetarian dish in our camp, and only meat is considered a non-vegetarian dish."

"Where are the cold dishes?"

"There are many cold dishes, such as cold yuba, cold spinach, cucumbers, cold shredded tofu, cold shredded kelp, cold shredded potatoes, cold shredded radish and jellyfish, and there are so many more that I can't remember."

"Where's the soup?"

"Snow vegetable and tofu soup, seaweed and egg drop soup, winter melon and pork ribs soup, shredded radish and razor clam soup, and tomato and egg soup. Anyway, we take turns."

A soldier wiped the corner of his mouth and asked: "Where is the fruit?"

Dongdong said without thinking: "Watermelons, peaches, pears, cantaloupe... whatever Mr. Zhang can buy, I will serve it to you when the time comes. Come to think of it, Grandpa Ge also asked Mr. Zhang to buy more beer and use ice when the time comes. Ice cubes, one bottle for each person who wants to drink."

Wang Peng asked in surprise: "You eat so well?"

"It's not that good. These are home-cooked dishes. You have never been on a sea cruise ship. The food on the sea cruise ship is good. You can't even finish the food expenses. You have to quit the company every month, and the refund is all US dollars!"

Dongdong couldn't help but look forward to her future, and she smiled after thinking about it: "I will go to high school first, and then apply for the Maritime College. If I can't pass the exam, I will go to a maritime college. Anyway, I will run a ship in the future. I’m not talking about a small ship like 001, I’m talking about a seagoing ship..."

"You won't be a soldier in the future and don't want to take the military academy exam?"

"I am serving as a soldier now, and the reserve force is also a military force. I like to run boats. My family is all sailors. My father has run boats, my mother has run boats, and my uncle has also run boats. He ran on a container ship. I have been to many countries for several years, and my grandparents and my uncle are still running boats."

"Running a boat to make money?"

"Well, my family borrowed a lot of money from the bank to buy a house. I will make more money in the future to help my parents repay the loan."

"Actually, you can pass the military academy. Your family is full of cadres, and you can also become a cadre."

"What's so good about cadres? In Linghai, only the unpromising ones become cadres, while the promising ones go to make a lot of money."

"So your uncle has no future?"

"It can't be said that he is completely hopeless. Being a cadre in Linghai is not interesting anyway."

In Linghai, being a cadre is really not considered to be a capable and promising person.

Only people like Zhang Erxiao, Lin Xiaohui, and Yuzhen are capable and can truly win the respect of others. For example, when we return to the shipping company now, Lin Xiaohui and the others are definitely more popular than Han Yu.

Most of the soldiers of the 132nd Regiment came from inland provinces and could not believe everything Dongdong said.

Just when Dongdong didn't know how to explain it, the water formation of the Linghai Reserve Battalion finally arrived in the waters of Hanwu after more than five days of sailing.

For Xiaoyu, Changhang Police Academy can be regarded as his second home.

Although he had worked hard and accomplished a lot in Linghai before, he was just a temporary worker at that time, and he was doing well in Bailonggang. No one outside Bailonggang would take him seriously, or even look down on him.

Later, the staff establishment was solved, and he was transferred to the Changhang Branch, put on a police uniform, and became a fire policeman in the Changhang Public Security System.

However, the leaders and colleagues of the Changhang Branch either treated him as a child, or felt that Zhang Junyan helped him put on the police uniform, and he still did not get the respect he deserved.

It wasn't until he was transferred to Changhang Police Academy and became a police physical instructor that he truly felt that he was a policeman and finally gained confidence.

For Xiaoyu’s student Xiao Chen, returning to Hanwu is like returning to his second hometown.

Xiao Chen not only called the leaders of the police academy early, but also called the director Chen Zikun who was participating in the flood fight in Hanwu.

Colleagues and patrol boats in the institute were either fighting floods in Jingzhou, the most dangerous place, or were on their way to support Jingzhou's flood fighting and rescue operations. Chen Zikun was worried and asked his superiors to follow the boat to Jingzhou.

The leader of the Changhang Public Security Bureau could understand his mood. After all, he was the acting director of the Linghai Police Station of the Changhang Binjiang Branch, and he readily agreed.

Because of this, Chen Zikun rushed to the section of the embankment in charge of the Changhang Police School Flood Fighting Commando Team early, and waited with Principal Zhuo, Director Liu and others for the arrival of the Linghai Reserve Battalion water formation.

At 2:27 p.m., the Yangtze River Public Security Boat 110 appeared on the river with its lights flashing, and the embankment suddenly burst into joy.

Practitioners who knew Xiao Chen desperately waved to the Yangtze River Police 110 Office. Some practitioners were afraid that Xiao Chen and Xiao Gong would not see them, so they pulled out the red flags stuck on the embankment and climbed up to a high place to wave them as hard as they could.

Xiao Gong, who had also been trained at the Changhang Police Academy, was as excited as Xiao Chen and immediately turned on the gas and drove over.

"Principal, Director Liu, Suo Chen, we are back!"

"Okay, okay, drive slower."

The two brats shouted through loudspeakers, and everyone on the embankment could hear them.

Principal Zhuo shouted to the river, and the subordinates and students around him might not be able to hear clearly, let alone Xiao Gong and Xiao Chen from the Yangtze River Police 110.

Chen Zikun clearly saw that the principal's eyes were moist.

Teaching and educating people will fill the Yangtze River with students and plums!

You can imagine how happy he was at this moment when he saw that his student had become successful and came back to rescue him in an advanced and beautiful law enforcement boat. Even if I shed tears, they are tears of joy.

In the blink of an eye, the Yangtze River Public Security Bureau 110 approached.

Xiao Chen stood at the bow of the boat, standing at attention with tears in his eyes and saluting: "Hello principal, hello Director Liu, hello Teacher Qian, hello Chen Suo..."

"Okay, okay, the waves on the river are big, so be careful."

"Principal, I'm fine."

"Throw the cable!" Chen Zikun reminded.

"Oh." Xiao Chen reacted and hurriedly threw the cable.

A student was so impatient that he saw the opportunity and jumped onto the stern of the boat. He chuckled and said, "Senior, let me help you."

Principal Zhuo was about to talk about that brat when three more guys jumped on the boat.

The cables from the bow and stern of the ship were thrown up, and the condolences piled on the stern deck had already begun to be moved to the embankment. Xiao Gong no longer had to hold the steering wheel tightly, so he quickly turned off the engine and parked the car, got out of the cab and stood at attention to salute Principal Zhuo and other school leaders.

The people in charge of the nearby embankment section were extremely envious and came to watch the excitement.

"Director Liu, I didn't get the instant noodles. I got all the good stuff. Here are the hillbilly chicken legs, here are the hillbilly eggs, and here are all the ham sausages..."

"Okay, okay, is it enough?"

"That's enough. The shortbread and biscuits are on top of Supervisor 48. Supervisor 48 is at the back. They'll be there soon."

Just when Xiao Chen and Xiao Gong were "returning home in glory", Secretary Wang, a senior expert from the Linghai Reserve Battalion, was in the cab of Linggang Tow 001, holding a walkie-talkie and arguing with Zhanggang Tow 007 and the person in charge of the transport fleet.

"Who asked you to put up that banner? Why don't you put up the banner I gave you? Do you have any organizational discipline?"

"Secretary Wang, this is our tugboat from Zhangjiagang. What does it have to do with you if I hold up our Zhangjiagang banner?"

"You are now a member of our Linghai Reserve Battalion, and you must obey orders and follow orders."

"Who are you from Linghai? We have nothing to do with you in Linghai! It was Director Liu of the Port Supervision Office who asked us to help you promote the fleet through the leaders of our Port Authority. It's good that we didn't ask you for tug fees. , why are you telling us what to do?"

"Yes, Secretary Wang, no matter how big your official position is, you can't control us. We have nothing to do with you!"

"But you are now the water transportation unit of our Linghai Reserve Battalion! Reserve troops are also troops. If you dare to disobey orders, believe it or not, I will punish you!"

"Your transportation team in Linghai, we are not a reserve force. Again, we have nothing to do with you. If you don't believe me, you can call and ask the Huang Department of the China Shipping Bureau."

These guys from Okura, Shuzhou, Zhangjiagang and Jiangyin are going to rebel!

He was quite honest before and obeyed orders when sailing.

As a result, when they entered the waters of Hanwu, they unexpectedly raised their banner.

If we just look at the number of banners and slogans, or even the size of the fonts on the banners and slogans, they really can't compare to Linghai, but they are more famous than Linghai.

What about "the national health city Zhangjiagang is connected heart to heart with the people of Beihu", what about "when one side is in trouble, support from all sides, China Jiangyin supports Beihu in fighting floods", and what about "Jiangyin's Huaxi Village, China's Huaxi Village".

Everyone on the shore knows about Zhangjiagang, everyone knows about Huaxi Village, and many people know about Shuzhou, which ranks fourth among the top ten wealth counties in the country. But they have never heard of Linghai, and now everyone is looking at them.

Secretary Wang didn't expect to bring a bunch of "white-eyed wolves". Now it was useless to start a "war of words". He simply put down the walkie-talkie, picked up the intercom on the bridge, and signaled Wu Chu to open Linggang and drag 001 up. of tweeters:

"Hello comrades on the embankment, you have worked hard! The people of Linghai salute you. When one side is in trouble, support from all sides is provided. We are here to support you. Together we are united to fight the flood..."

Some people on the embankment looked at each other in confusion, looking at the gaudy Linghai formation and wondering where Linghai was. I had never heard of it.

Some people are thinking that it doesn't matter where Linghai is, what's important is that people come to support them, and they use fleets to transport supplies.

Being a grateful person, the leaders of the units responsible for each embankment section immediately waved to the fleet.

Secretary Wang was thinking that shouting would have some effect, when Zhanggang Tuo 007 and Dagang Tuo 012 followed him and started shouting.

Isn't it just a tweeter? They are all on the tugboat.

The driver dragged up by Jianggang was the most egregious. He actually wanted to take advantage of the situation and shouted in a high and low tone: "Brothers on the embankment, we know that you are in urgent need of emergency supplies. We have sent you five thousand wooden piles and four Thousands of tons of stone..."

Although it is far away from the shore, you can vaguely hear the cheers of the cadres and the masses guarding the embankment on the shore.

Secretary Wang was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, secretly cursing these Jiangnan bastards for being shameless. You sent the emergency supplies, you didn't buy them with money, so why should you be good people?

But it's too late to say anything now. After all, we all came together, and if we engage in internal strife in front of so many outsiders, we will be laughed at. I can only secretly make up my mind to ask Lao Ge to organize forces to unload emergency supplies when they arrive in Jingzhou, and then send them away as soon as possible.

The reserve officers and soldiers from the COSCO and Long-range Navigation Systems in the fleet burst into tears as they listened to their loudspeakers shouting.

On this issue, Chen Zikun also remained neutral.

Seeing Principal Zhuo happily asking about Zhang Jiagang's support, he could only smile and say perfunctorily: "Looking at the banner, it should be coming."

"Zhangjiagang's economy is doing well and it is famous throughout the country."

"Principal, Jiang Yin is better than Zhangjiagang. Jiang Yin ranks first among the top 100 counties in the country!"

"Huaxi Village belongs to Jiangyin. My dad and his company even organized a visit to Huaxi Village last year to study and study."

"Shuzhou is doing well. I heard that there is a clothing wholesale market in Shuzhou. Many of the clothes we sell here are wholesaled from Shuzhou."

Xiao Gong, unlike Chen Zikun, has a sense of belonging to Linghai. Seeing the principal, teachers and students talking like this, I secretly thought that Secretary Wang would be so angry that he would have high blood pressure if he heard it...
