Chapter 735

Arriving at the town government, the staff said that Mayor Su was on the embankment. They didn't even sit down and went straight to the embankment. As soon as they went to the embankment, someone told them that the one who was carrying sandbags and running the fastest was Mayor Su.

Zhang Kaishan laughed, "You run so fast while carrying sandbags!"

Su Xinghui laughed, "It's okay, this sandbag is not heavy, one is only 80 or 90 jin. I am young and strong, carrying this is like playing. If I run faster, I can carry a few more."

Jian Mingli laughed, "I have worked for so many years, and I have never seen a mayor like you. You are more powerful than anyone else when carrying sandbags."

Su Xinghui laughed, "I am so young, if I stand on the embankment and watch others work, I will feel uncomfortable."

Zhang Kaishan said, "Comrade Mingli, let's go ahead and turn around, don't disturb the young people talking."

Jian Mingli nodded and continued to walk forward with Zhang Kaishan.

Su Xinghui looked at Lu Xiaoya, and he laughed so much that his mouth couldn't close. At this moment, it seemed that the drizzling rain, the roaring and rolling river water, and the people running on the embankment had all disappeared, and only he and Lu Xiaoya were left in the world.

Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui's silly smiling face and his scorching eyes, and she said shyly, "Xinghui, let's not stand here, we are blocking other people's way."

Su Xinghui realized that they were standing in the middle of the embankment. People carrying sandbags had to pass by and had to go around them. He hurriedly held Lu Xiaoya's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the bottom of the embankment to talk."

Lu Xiaoya followed Su Xinghui to the bottom of the embankment. Su Xinghui said, "You wait at our town government when you come. It's raining. You are a girl, don't get sick."

Lu Xiaoya said, "You said this, the agency sent me to interview, so I just wait at your town government? Then how can I interview."

Su Xinghui said, "I'm not feeling sorry for you?"

Lu Xiaoya looked at Su Xinghui's face, and she reached out and gently wiped a piece of mud on Su Xinghui's face: "Xinghui, I feel sorry for you when I see you, you have lost weight."

Su Xinghui smiled. During this period, he ran between the embankment and the town government every day. Sometimes, he had to go to the village to solve some problems. There was no day off. He slept at most five hours a day, and his meals were irregular. Can he not lose weight?

Su Xinghui held Lu Xiaoya's hand and said, "Xiaoya, I'm fine. I am young and strong. It's just that I haven't slept well these days. After the flood season ends, I will sleep a few good sleeps and the meat will grow back."

Lu Xiaoya said, "Then you must pay attention to your health, and don't get tired and sick."

Su Xinghui said, "Actually, I am still good. I can return to the town government to sleep every day, and I can eat hot soup and rice when I go back. Many flood control masses sleep on the embankment every day. When they are hungry, they can only gnaw on some dry food. When they are thirsty, they drink the water they brought. Some farmers drink rainwater or even river water directly. I feel sorry when I see it!"

Lu Xiaoya said in surprise, "How can rainwater and river water be drunk? That's so dirty?"

Su Xinghui said, "Yes, we have tried our best to let people below boil water and send it up. However, there are so many people on the embankment, and the boiling water cannot be sent up. They are all doing heavy physical work on the embankment, and they are easily thirsty. If the boiling water cannot keep up, what can they do if they don't drink rainwater and river water? They said that they often did this when they worked before, and they didn't see anything happen."

Lu Xiaoya said, "This is really incredible, Xinghui, don't do this, it won't be good if you have a stomachache."

Su Xinghui nodded, "I won't. Let's go, since you want to interview, go to the embankment to interview. After the interview is finished early, you can go back to the town government to take a hot bath and have a good rest. You are a girl, unlike us, you can't stand the cold."

Lu Xiaoya nodded sweetly, and then followed Su Xinghui to the embankment.

Lu Xiaoya found the flood control masses and started to interview. Su Xinghui carried sandbags again. He would not stand there and command others to work while watching.

At noon, the cook of the town government sent food to the people on the embankment. The food they sent was steaming big steamed buns, and a large bucket of seaweed and egg drop soup.

Su Xinghui called Zhang Kaishan, Jian Mingli, and Lu Xiaoya. They sat together and started eating. He said to Zhang Kaishan and Jian Mingli, "Mayor Zhang, Minister Jian, I have wronged you today."

Zhang Kaishan took a big steamed bun, took a bite, and laughed, "What kind of grievance is this? This is a big white steamed bun. It was not easy to eat ten years ago. It is quite good to have such conditions on the embankment."

Jian Mingli also said, "Yes, when I was a reporter, I went to the countryside below for interviews. It was not bad to be able to eat a mouthful of dry food. Now such conditions are already very good."

Su Xinghui said, "Our town government is now trying its best to improve the living conditions of the flood control masses, hoping to save their physical strength as much as possible. Otherwise, if everyone is dragged tired, and the situation is really critical, no one will be able to top it."

Zhang Kaishan nodded, "This flood control and disaster relief work, logistics support must be done well."

Jian Mingli asked Lu Xiaoya with a smile, "Xiaoya, are you used to eating?"

Lu Xiaoya also took a big steamed bun and said, "I am used to eating. I am not so delicate. Don't I often go to the countryside below for interviews? I am used to eating everything."

In this way, the few people finished this meal with rainwater. Su Xinghui ate the most. He ate at least seven or eight steamed buns and drank two large bowls of soup. This is also a normal thing. He is originally at the age with the largest appetite, and he has been doing such heavy physical labor on the embankment. Eating more is right.

Zhang Kaishan said, "Xinghui, your work is really good, organized, everyone is conscientious, and your party members and cadres are also on the front line, no one slacks off. It would be good if every township was like you."

Su Xinghui said, "Sigh, Mayor Zhang, didn't we have disciplinary violations here a few days ago?"

Zhang Kaishan said, "That matter has nothing to do with you. On the contrary, you discovered the disciplinary violation in time and handled it very well, turning bad things into good things. Now the morale of the flood control masses here is not very high?"

Su Xinghui said, "I have leadership responsibility after all. By the way, Mayor Zhang, when can you send us a deputy town mayor in charge of water conservancy in Pengjiawan? Now the work originally in charge of Zhang Lihui has all fallen on me. I am alone, and I really can't be busy."

Zhang Kaishan laughed, "Are you complaining to me? During this period, the biggest thing in the whole county is flood control and disaster relief. So the sudden shortage of personnel here, the county can't take care of it for a while. It's really hard for you. Let's do this, I will suggest convening a standing committee meeting as soon as possible after I go back and send you a deputy town mayor."

Su Xinghui nodded happily, "That's great. You have to send us a strong general."

Zhang Kaishan nodded, "Okay, I know."

Several people were talking, and more than a dozen trucks drove from a road to the embankment. They couldn't help but look at the truck team suspiciously.
