Chapter 433 Breaking the Flood
In this fight against the flood, Qi Tongwei not only has to deal with the immediate danger, but also has to worry about the safety of the villagers and the future of the village. He knows that he has a heavy responsibility, which is his commitment to this land and people. No matter how fierce the flood is, he is determined to fight to the end.
The sky gradually darkened, but the flood showed no signs of weakening. Qi Tongwei's physical strength was constantly depleting, but his eyes remained firm. He silently told himself in his heart that he must protect everything here. The lights in the village flickered in the flood, which was a symbol of hope. Qi Tongwei knew that he had to lead everyone to find a way out in this darkness and flood...
While directing the orderly progress of the rescue work, he was thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, he thought of the small hill next to the village, where the villagers could be temporarily transferred. So he quickly arranged for some people to continue to hold the defense line, while he led another group of people to organize the transfer of villagers.
"The elderly and children should go first, don't panic!" Qi Tongwei's voice was clearly audible amid the noisy flood. Under his organization, the villagers began to move toward the hill in an orderly manner. Qi Tongwei supported an elderly man with limited mobility and walked carefully on the muddy road. The flood raged around them and almost knocked them down several times, but Qi Tongwei protected the elderly man tightly and moved forward steadily.
When they reached the hill, Qi Tongwei immediately returned to the village to continue the rescue. At this time, the flood had already submerged some houses. He was anxious and quickened his pace. In front of a house surrounded by floods, he heard the cry of a child. Qi Tongwei swam over without hesitation, got into the house through the window, picked up the child and swam out again.
Throughout the rescue process, Qi Tongwei constantly encouraged the villagers to keep their confidence. His figure shuttled through the flood and became the light of hope in the hearts of the villagers. Although exhausted, he still persisted. Every time he successfully rescued a villager, he felt more determined.
As time went by, the floods finally receded. Qi Tongwei looked at the ruined village and felt sad. But he quickly cheered up and started to organize the villagers to carry out post-disaster reconstruction. He ran around to get aid materials and led the villagers to clean up the silt, repair houses and re-cultivate farmland.
During this process, Qi Tongwei encountered many difficulties, including a shortage of funds, insufficient supplies, and low spirits among some villagers. However, he was not defeated by these difficulties, but actively sought solutions. He encouraged the villagers, saying, "As long as we are still here, we will be able to rebuild our home."
After a period of hard work, the village gradually regained its vitality. Green crops grew again in the farmland, and the houses were repaired one by one. Qi Tongwei looked at all this with a gratified smile on his face. He knew that his fate was closely linked to this village. In this disaster, he not only showed his courage and responsibility, but also maximized his life value. The road ahead is still long, but he will continue to contribute his strength to the development of this village.
He began to think about how to strengthen the village's flood prevention facilities to prevent similar disasters from happening again. He organized a meeting with villagers to discuss flood prevention plans and actively sought support from higher authorities. At the same time, he did not forget the plan to develop characteristic agriculture and rural tourism. He believed that after this disaster, the village needed more diversified development to enhance its ability to resist risks.
Qi Tongwei led the villagers to rebuild a beautiful home on the ruins. His name was passed on by word of mouth in the village, and he became a hero in everyone's heart. His story, like an exciting hymn, will forever echo in this land. And he himself has also gained growth and tenacity in this experience. He will continue to walk firmly along the path he has chosen.
After the flood receded, the village was slowly recovering. Qi Tongwei looked at the land with a lot of emotion in his heart. At this time, his family received an unexpected and pleasant news - Liang Lu was pregnant.
When Liang Lu told Qi Tongwei the news with tears in her eyes and a smile, Qi Tongwei was stunned. In an instant, all the past flashed through his mind like a slide show. Their marriage used to be full of twists and turns and contradictions, those quarrels, cold wars, and countless nights of silence. But after experiencing this flood and working together for the village, their relationship has subtly changed.
Qi Tongwei slowly walked towards Liang Lu, and then gently embraced her in his arms. Liang Lu leaned on his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and couldn't help but shed tears. "Tongwei, we have another child." Liang Lu's voice was trembling. Qi Tongwei hugged her tightly, "Well, we will be fine."
At night, the moonlight shone in the yard. They sat on a bench in the yard and began to talk about the upcoming little life.
Liang Lu gently stroked her belly, which had not yet bulged, with a gentle look and a hint of worry, "Tongwei, who do you think this child will look like?" Qi Tongwei held her hand, "No matter who he looks like, he will be our baby."
Liang Lu recalled her first pregnancy. At that time, she was young, proud, and full of fantasy about the future. But as time went by, the disappointments in life gradually made her lose that brilliance. "When I was pregnant for the first time, I was full of joy and ready to welcome the new life, but I didn't expect there would be so many bumps and bruises later." Liang Lu's voice was a little low.
Qi Tongwei sighed, "What's past is past. This time we must give our children a warm home." He recalled his struggles in his career, the compromises he made for power and status, and the neglect of his family. During the flood relief work, he saw the fragility and preciousness of life, and re-examined his own life.
"Let's give the child a name." Liang Lu looked up at Qi Tongwei. Qi Tongwei pondered for a moment and said, "If it's a boy, let's name him Qi Chen. I hope he can open up new hopes and be as energetic as the morning sun. If it's a girl, let's name her Yuening. I hope she will live a happy and peaceful life." Liang Lu nodded slightly, "This is a great name."
As Liang Lu's pregnancy progressed, she began to experience various discomforts. Qi Tongwei put aside many things at hand and concentrated on accompanying her. He would make nutritious soup for Liang Lu, and would immediately get up to massage her when she had leg cramps in the middle of the night.
