Chapter 2360

The heavy rain stopped, which made others breathe a sigh of relief. Although this year's water level is lower than last year's, compared with previous years, it is still relatively high, and it is still up to the standard of a flood that is not encountered in thirty years. The heavy rain kept falling, which also fueled the ferocity of the flood. Now that the heavy rain stopped, the water level immediately stopped rising and had a downward trend.

You know, last year, from the beginning of the flood season, the water level basically had no downward trend and was always rising. This is because in the entire Yangtze River Basin, the rain area was constantly moving, either in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River or in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, which made the embankments along the Yangtze River unable to get a chance to breathe.

And now, basically, the entire Yangtze River line has cleared up, which is a rare chance to breathe.

As soon as the weather cleared up, the various projects in the county started again immediately, and now they are basically working day and night, because they want to win back the time delayed by the continuous heavy rain and complete the work within the scheduled construction period.

You know, in Chongjin County, the speed of the projects here is very amazing. In Jiangyou Province, there is a special term, which is "Chongjin Speed," to describe that the projects in Chongjin County are done quickly and well.

This continuous heavy rain had an unexpected gain, that is, in the shantytown of Gulou Street, many people signed demolition contracts with the old city renovation office again. Now in the area of Gulou Street, the vast majority of residents have signed demolition contracts and moved to the New District. The only ones left are some residents on Gulou Street who are still unwilling to move.

This is because this continuous heavy rain made the residents of this shantytown suffer from waterlogging again.

Most of the sheds in the shantytown are built with wooden frames, covered with a layer of asphalt felt on the outside, and nailed with nails to fix them. A few with better conditions will build a few walls with bricks and cover them with asphalt felt on the top to shade from wind and rain.

Although asphalt felt can prevent wind and rain, its ability to prevent wind and rain certainly cannot be compared with bricks and tiles. This is just a helpless move by poor workers. How can it withstand such strong winds and heavy rains?

Last year, the residents here suffered from waterlogging once. Some families' asphalt felt was blown open by strong winds, and heavy rain poured directly into the house. Some better ones, the asphalt felt was not blown open, but because the infrastructure of the shantytown was poor and the drainage system was not smooth, the water could not be discharged. How could this shed built with asphalt felt withstand the accumulation of water entering the shed?

Precisely because of this, these residents couldn't hold on anymore, so they signed the demolition compensation contract early and moved to the New District. The houses in the New District have been simply renovated, which is much better than the sheds they live in now, and the conditions offered by the county government have also been improved compared to before, which is relatively reasonable. What reason do they have not to move?

This heavy rain made almost half of the residents of the shantytown sign contracts with the county government and move away at once. Added to those who moved away earlier, there are not many people left in this shantytown now.
