Crime and Punishment: Female Secretary

Chapter 31
On the hundredth day, Zhao Feiyang and Qin Yao returned to Haizhou.

Lin Ruonan asked the driver to drive to the special rice demonstration base after breakfast.

Hundreds of acres of paddy fields are planted with special rice, which is lush green.The growth of special rice is gratifying, which makes Lin Ruonan very happy.Over the rice fields, tens of thousands of dragonflies are flying low in the sky. Today, the weather is extremely sultry, and the clouds are curled together, getting thicker and thicker. There are thick clouds rolling over right in front of us, and the sky is slowly getting darker.

"Maybe it's going to rain heavily, it's hot today." The driver stood aside and said.

"Yeah, May and June are demon days, so they can change as they say."

"I heard from the weather forecast that there will be heavy rain."

"It's abnormally dry today." The sweltering air made Lin Ruonan feel like prickly heat all over his body, cursing the ghostly weather in his heart.

The wind started to blow, getting stronger and stronger, like a pack of wolves howling, and the seedlings in the rice fields danced with the wind, like waves, one after another, looking from a distance, it looked like a green ocean.

"It's going to rain heavily, let's get in the car." The driver reminded.

Lin Ruonan looked up and saw that the sky, which was still clear when he came here, was now covered by thick clouds.The wind blew over in bursts, blowing her hair wildly.

"Get in the car." Realizing that it was going to rain heavily, Lin Ruonan hurriedly walked towards the car on the side of the road. It broke the sky, shook the ground, scared Lin Ruonan into the car as if running away.As soon as the car door was closed, big raindrops fell like hailstones, and a mist of water quickly rose from the ground. The car could only drive slowly in the misty rain and mist.

In the courtyard of the township government, the heavy rain was still so strong that the driver drove the car to the rain-shielding area of ​​the office building and stopped.Lin Ruonan got out of the car, walked to the balcony of the office door on the second floor, and watched the heavy rain in front of him.

In the early morning, Lin Ruonan was awakened by the sound of "swooshing" rain. Lin Ruonan got out of bed with eyes wide open, opened the curtains, and saw that the rain was still falling and the wind was still blowing.Lin Ruonan put on a coat, opened the door, and stood in the corridor to watch. The ground was covered with rainwater, and there was no one in the yard.

It had been raining for a day and a night and it was still not possible to stop, so Lin Ruonan hurriedly called the clerk and told him to ring at 08:30.

After breakfast, Lin Ruonan organized all the township cadres to hold an emergency meeting, and arranged for the cadres to go to the village: first, to check the water conditions in the rivers and dams of each village, and eliminate dangers; Old buildings and adobe houses were mobilized to move out quickly (there are 52 natural villages in Pilong Township, and 24 natural villages are not new rural construction sites, and there are still many dilapidated houses, old buildings, and adobe houses in non-new rural construction villages).

After the meeting, all the cadres in Pilong Township were divided into 8 groups and stationed in each village. The cadres held umbrellas or wore raincoats, and rode motorcycles, electric vehicles, and bicycles to brave the rain.Lin Ruonan and Ge Xiangzhang also brought a team to the village to check the situation.

Lin Ruonan brought Zhang Gongzhu and other three township cadres to Jiangkou Village, where some villagers lived scattered at the foot of remote mountains.

In the mountainous area, the yellow mud road leading to the farmer's house became muddy and difficult to walk due to the torrential rain all day and night. The low-lying road was covered with muddy water above the ankles, and the rain and mist were misty. Lin Ruonan was wearing a raincoat and was one foot taller than the other cadres. Driving on the uneven mountain path with one foot, the strong wind mixed with raindrops kept hitting their faces.

"Secretary Lin, the rain is really heavy. I wonder if it will stop." Zhang Gongzhu followed behind.

"The weather forecast says that there will be heavy rainfall for a few days. Judging by the situation, it will not stop for a while." Lin Ruonan said.

"Secretary Lin, many villagers are unwilling to move in this rainy day," said Secretary Zhong of Jiangkou Village.

"It's raining like this, and it keeps falling. I'm afraid of landslides. In the early years, landslides killed people in our county. We can't be careless about this, and we can't make fun of people's lives." Lin Ruonan was very serious said.

"Well, yes, Xiao Yulian's house is in front of her. Her house is built next to the hillside. Why don't we go there and have a look." Secretary Zhong said.

"Go, go."

Lin Ruonan and his gang came to Xiao Yulian's home. Xiao Yulian was a 72-year-old woman who was widowed in her early years. She had two sons and a daughter. two grandchildren.

Lin Ruonan checked the condition of Xiao Yulian's house. The adobe house built in the late 60s had very old beams and wood that appeared jet-black. Rainwater seeped into the corner of the hall, and cracks began to appear in the corners of the walls. The continuous rain soaked the surrounding walls in a state of turmoil. an extremely wet state.The house is located at the foot of a high mountain. The mountain is very steep. The strong wash of the heavy rain caused a pile of yellow soil with weeds to go down the slope and slide to the bottom of the ditch at the foot of the mountain, tightly against the back wall of the house.

Lin Ruonan walked around the house, and finally said to Xiao Yulian who was sitting in the middle of the hall: "Grandma Xiao, your house is located at the foot of the mountain, it is very dangerous. The continuous heavy rainfall has loosened all the soil on the mountain, which is very dangerous. The possibility of a landslide, you must not live here."

Xiao Yulian was a little deaf and couldn't hear clearly, so she asked loudly: "What are you talking about, I can't hear clearly."

"You don't want to live here these days, it's very dangerous." Lin Ruonan leaned into Xiao Yulian's ear and said loudly.

"Ah, it's dangerous, no, I've lived here for decades, I'm fine, don't worry." After hearing what Lin Ruonan meant, Xiao Yulian replied nonchalantly.

"Secretary Zhong, are there any relatives of Xiao Yulian in the neighborhood?" Lin Ruonan asked.

"No, but there is a house in the open space in front of it. This is a new ancestral hall built by the village committee. I told her to move there in the next two days, but she will stay in this dilapidated house if she refuses to move. Secretary Zhong shook his head helplessly.

"No, look at this house. There is a crack in the corner of the wall. It is very dangerous. There are signs of landslides on the mountain. If you can no longer live here, you must move out." Lin Ruonan said worriedly.

"Yes, but she just won't move."

Lin Ruonan clung to Xiao Yulian's ear again, loudly explaining her interests, but after talking for a long time, Xiao Yulian's mind still did not loosen.There is no way, Lin Ruonan ordered: "Move, she won't do it, we will do it, we will move her food, clothing, housing and transportation for her."

After Lin Ruonan finished speaking, he led several village cadres who accompanied him to cover Xiao Yulian's electrical appliances, beds, quilts, tables, etc. with rainproof cloth one by one, and carried them in the heavy rain. One by one, they were transported to the ancestral hall.Shouting not to move, Xiao Yulian pulled Lin Ruonan's clothes and said, "Secretary Lin, I won't move. I've lived in this house for decades and it's fine."

After several hours of tossing and tossing, all the important furniture and belongings of Xiao Yulian's family were moved into the ancestral hall. Seeing that there was no other way, Xiao Yulian moved everything there.

After Lin Ruonan and his team helped Xiao Yulian settle in a new residence, they continued to brave the rain and ran to other farmers' homes. Lin Ruonan's clothes were soaked.

Lin Ruonan and his team were busy until five o'clock in the afternoon before rushing to the secretary's house of Jiangkou Village for dinner.

During dinner, Secretary Zhong received a call from Xiao Yulian, saying that the back mountain of her house had collapsed and the house had been overwhelmed. She was very grateful to the township officials for forcing her to move out of the house. Otherwise, how could she and her two grandchildren be safe and sound? .

When Secretary Zhong reported the matter to Lin Ruonan and others, Lin Ruonan smiled and said that as long as it was for the benefit of the villagers, even if the working methods were rough, the masses would understand.

After dinner, Lin Ruonan ordered several other township cadres who came with him to stay in the village tonight.Lin Ruonan arranged to stay at the house of Zou Xiaoxiang, director of the village women's committee.

Standing on the third-floor balcony of Zou Xiaoxiang's house, Lin Ruonan looked into the distance, and at a glance, he saw several factory buildings with a height of three meters on the open space near the south of Jiangkou Village. It was Zhao Feiyang's investment and construction of a branch factory in Ganning. Lin Ruonan looked at the factory buildings under construction from a distance, and suddenly remembered that Zhao Feiyang had told her before leaving that she would help him collect the clothes hanging on the balcony when she was free, and had given her a bunch of keys.Thinking that the factory was only one kilometer away from Zou Xiaoxiang's home, Lin Ruonan greeted Zou Xiaoxiang and said to go out to do something.Seeing that it was getting dark, Zou Xiaoxiang expressed concern that she would go with her, but Lin Ruonan politely refused, carrying a flashlight, and walked along the path towards the factory alone.

When Lin Ruonan arrived at the factory, there was no one in the factory. It was raining and all construction work was forced to stop.Lin Ruonan saw that Zhao Feiyang's clothes hanging on the balcony on the third floor were still fluttering wildly in the wind, so she quickly took out the key, opened the iron door, and went straight to the third floor.

Lin Ruonan put away the clothes, folded them and put them in the closet.Zhao Feiyang's living room is still as simple as when he came here, with a bed, a set of wardrobes, two tables and a few chairs.Lin Ruonan admired Zhao Feiyang very much, the general manager of a listed company was willing to live in such a simple building to live and eat at the construction site in order to supervise the infrastructure work of the factory day and night.

Lin Ruonan looked at the room for a while, and was about to go out. At this time, it was dark, Lin Ruonan turned on the flashlight switch, when she turned around and walked to the door, she saw an off-road vehicle driving into the factory area in the rain and fog from a distance. Lin Ruonan took a flashlight to take a picture, it was Zhao Feiyang's car, Lin Ruonan suddenly became ecstatic, how he returned to Gan Ning so quickly, it was amazing speed.

Sitting in the car, Zhao Feiyang saw a black figure standing at the door of the room, holding a flashlight to shine it around, and he hurriedly drove the car to the bottom of the dormitory.Zhao Feiyang thought, so late, who is there?
Lin Ruonan had already stepped out of the room, but Lin Ruonan retreated back. After getting off the car, Zhao Feiyang ran to the third floor in three steps at a time.Taking a closer look, it was Lin Ruonan. She was wearing a large and thick raincoat, and a lovely head protruded from the raincoat. Her hair was scattered behind her head, and the ends of her hair were still clinging to raindrops.

"Nan Nan, why are you here?" Zhao Feiyang said happily.

"You promised to collect the clothes, and you only remembered to collect them at this time. Why did you come back so soon?"

"I want to see you soon, little guy." After finishing speaking, Zhao Feiyang stretched out a hand to caress Lin Ruonan's wet hair lovingly.

"Tch, I want to come, and I didn't call in advance." Lin Ruonan said with squinted eyes.

"Originally, I wanted to go to your unit to find you first, and give you an unexpected surprise. But there is a suitcase that needs to be put back here first, so I came here first." When Zhao Feiyang finished speaking, he couldn't help saying that Lin Ruonan He hugged her tightly to his chest.Lin Ruonan heard Zhao Feiyang's heart pounding.

"Ah, I haven't taken off my raincoat yet, it will get your clothes wet." Lin Ruonan said coquettishly.

"Ha, I can't find anyone with a small coat and big clothes. Take off this cumbersome raincoat." Zhao Feiyang immediately let go of his hand, and pressed the bedside switch casually, and the wall lamp on the wall turned on.

Lin Ruonan unbuttoned, took off the raincoat, and put it on the chair next to her. Lin Ruonan was wearing a purple short-sleeved knit top, denim tight mid-length trousers, and white flat sandals. She looked so dainty and attractive. pity.

"Nan Nan, I'm finally free." Zhao Feiyang put his hands on Lin Ruonan's shoulders and looked at her affectionately.

"Ha, now we're finally even!" Lin Ruonan raised her head slightly and said playfully.

"Even? What do you mean?"

"Second-married man and second-married woman, both dragging a bottle of oil!"

Zhao Feiyang was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that Lin Ruonan was joking about him being the father of a child for no reason.

"You little brat, how dare you make fun of me, let's see how I deal with you." After finishing speaking, Zhao Feiyang hugged Lin Ruonan in the air.

"Ah." Lin Ruonan screamed.

Seeing Lin Ruonan's appearance, Zhao Feiyang smiled, but he didn't pay attention, but continued to hold Lin Ruonan and came to the bedside, bent down, put her down on the bed, and then pressed her armpits with both hands. Next, while scratching the itch gently, he said: "Little guy! Hurry up and ask for forgiveness from your husband. As long as you say something, husband, I was wrong, I won't hit you hard, I will only punish you lightly."

"My child's father, I was wrong, so please forgive me."

"Okay, you little guy, it seems that you don't need to destroy the 36th style, you won't surrender." Zhao Feiyang increased the intensity of scratching and lowered his body.

"Ah, let me go, don't, don't," Lin Ruonan exaggeratedly shouted, with a sweet smile on her face.

"Even if the sky falls today, I won't let you go."

"Haha, the sky is not falling, the bed is about to collapse!"

"The bed collapsed, you don't even want to escape, just accept my insults obediently, haha, my little guy."
