Binjiang Police Affairs-Chapter 989 - 654: City Committee and Municipal Government Provide a Safety Net!

Deputy Mayor Shen was eager to return and packed his luggage right after the meeting. He arranged for the driver from the Linghai Armed Forces Department to take him to Jingzhou, where he would first report to the leadership of the Jingzhou Flood Control Command.

Afterwards, he would head to Hanwu and take the evening flight to East Sea, with the development zone's Investment Promotion Bureau director who is stationed in East Sea arranging a car to pick him up at the airport, then he would return to Linghai overnight.

Leaving this afternoon, he would be home early tomorrow morning.

The leader's travel means were convenient and fast but not suitable for large groups.

As soon as Han Yu saw Deputy Mayor Shen off, he discussed with Old Ge, Old Wang, and other camp-level leaders of the Linghai Reserve Camp on how to return home in four days.

Vice Minister Li of the Linghai Armed Forces Department, together with Political Commissar Yang, Staff He, and the two active officers from the Linghai Reserve Camp, Yang Jianbo and Zhao Jiang, squeezed into the office of the "Senior Expert Group," rushing to compile and organize the achievements of the emergency rescue teams during this period, especially the advanced individuals and deeds that emerged during the flood fighting efforts.

Achievements were easy to compile.

Two major dangerous situations were addressed, the emergency situations at Old Temple Gate and Yang Liu Village dike, both alerted the National Flood Control Headquarters, even Vice President L knows about it!

Handling of boil, cracking, and collapse risks occurred 29 times, all backed by detailed and comprehensive rescue engineering documentation with signatures and seals from the major local government officials. It only required collating the engineering documents.

Strengthening of dikes and digging of drainage ditches were trivial to the emergency rescue teams but still needed to be included in the report materials.

After compiling the achievements, the next task was to compile advanced deeds and touching stories.

The story of Salted Fish was both advanced and touching. Faced with significant risks of dike breach and collapse, he commanded steadily and, while ensuring the safety of rescue soldiers and civilians to the greatest extent, fought to the death with the flood, leading the assault team through one rescue mission after another.

His father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and his sixteen-year-old nephew all came. His parents and brother were also in Jiangnan transporting various rescue materials, one could say the whole family was fighting the flood...

The stories of Hao Qiusheng, Xu Mingyuan, Li Jun, Chen Jian, and others were also very touching.

Old Cao, the leader of the tractor transport squad, was no exception, though a civilian, he cared about the safety of the Beihu people, mobilizing over a dozen individual transporters with their own tractors to travel a thousand miles to support flood relief in Beihu.

The deeds of the Navy diving team were even more touching, every time they entered the water for missions, it was with life-threatening risk.

There were also many stories from the 132nd regiment, such as Du Yuan, who leveraged his past experience as a mason to play a significant role in addressing cracking risks.

There were too many cases of slightly injured personnel not leaving the frontline, it was simply too much to document.

...

Friend Han had been "retreating" at the Jingzhou Meteorological Bureau for over ten days, too busy to make a phone call home.

Seeing his eldest son-in-law, second son-in-law, and second daughter, he couldn't help but think of his wife and eldest daughter far away at home, especially his granddaughter!

No phone? No problem, he could borrow from his son-in-law.

He sat in the office of the meteorological security team, which Old Ge and Secretary Wang had used as a dormitory, looked at his "old buddy," the 711 radar monitor that had been with him for over a decade, and used Han Yu's phone to call the duty room of the retired cadres' service center at the Binjiang Military District.

He thought his wife might not have gotten off work, but the soldier on duty said that "Dr. Xiang" seemed to have some business today and took Little Han Han home early.

Besides Ningning going back, what else could be the matter at home?

Friend Han thanked him and continued to call home.

Sure enough, his wife, daughter, and granddaughter were all at home.

"Han Han, do you miss Grandpa?"

"Yes!"

"Han Han is such a good and sensible girl, Grandpa also misses Han Han."

"Grandpa, when will you come back?"

"It depends on the situation, but it should be soon."

Her father doted on Han Han too much. If Han Han took the phone call, he could talk to Han Han for half an hour.

Han Xiangning couldn't bear the phone bill being wasted, so she snatched the phone from her daughter and asked, "Dad, Mom said you haven't called home for half a month, I thought you forgot about us!"

Friend Han hurriedly said, "How could I? I was just too busy recently."

"Where are you now, did you get to see San'er?"

"I'm with San'er, Mengmeng, Xiao Jun, and the others here, came over this afternoon…"

Friend Han briefly introduced the situation at "Linghai Port," realizing his daughter seemed to have put him on speakerphone with his wife listening beside, so he immediately changed the topic:

"It's not far from Xichuan here, it's a pity San'er is the camp commander and can't leave his troops. Otherwise, I would really like to take this opportunity to take San'er, Mengmeng, and Xiao Jun to see your grandmother and uncle. San'er and Xiao Jun haven't been to your grandma's house yet."

Xiang Fan hadn't expected her husband to say this. Warmth surged in her heart as she bent down and said, "If San'er can't leave, you and Mengmeng, Xiao Jun could, how about you go and see, and help me bring Mom over to stay for a few months."

"I should go, Mengmeng and Xiao Jun have to work, we can't interfere with their jobs."

"Then never mind, my mom's health isn't as good as your mom's. How could you, a man, take care of her on the way?"

"How about we all go to Xichuan for New Year at the end of the year?"

"How much will that cost in travel expenses for everyone?"

Marrying far away has its downside, unable to care for the elderly parents.

Xiang Fan felt uneasy, just about to say she would send some more money to her brother later when Han Xiangning couldn't help but ask: "Dad, is your prediction about the two air streams possibly meeting over the Yangtze River Basin, potentially causing heavy rain in the region, reliable?"
