Although Li Yongzhong from the County Educated Youth Office was dealt with, the affairs of several educated youth in the factory have not yet been concluded.
Because several of Chen Beilei's places have already been reported to the city, if they can be changed by making a fuss, I wonder how many people will follow suit.
The factory was very troubled by this, so when they saw Chen Beilei and the others, they naturally tried to persuade them and give them as much comfort as possible.
"It would be good for you guys to go out and relax."
The director of the factory's youth office readily signed the note.
Chen Beilei, who received the note, still did not forget Zhang Hongcheng's instructions and responded loudly.
"Director, we have not forgotten our original aspirations and are earnestly fulfilling our responsibilities as young people! We are organizing our own training camps and are also receiving re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!"
"Okay, okay," the director waved his hand nonchalantly, "Be careful on the road."
Nowadays, anyone can be associated with the word "training".
It was obvious that these young people couldn't stay there and wanted to go to the countryside, so they deliberately found an excuse to ask him to reimburse their travel expenses and food expenses.
If someone else did the same thing, he would be lucky if he didn't scold them, but these guys are being coaxed by the factory now, so he just turns a blind eye.
The place Zhang Hongcheng took a few classmates to was Huangniushan Reservoir.
This place has beautiful mountains and clear waters, and is a great place to go hiking.
At the end of June, the commune at the foot of the mountain was bustling with activity, and not a single person could be seen on the reservoir side.
Six young figures, each wearing a green military uniform and carrying a green shoulder bag slung across their shoulders, rushed happily to the top of the mountain.
There were no tablecloths or other bedding like in later generations. Everyone lay or sat casually in the grass, and soon everyone had a grass stem in their mouth.
Jian Yong rested his head on his hands, looked at the white clouds in the sky, and spat out the dogtail grass in his mouth.
"I used to think the mountains and rivers of Taoling County were boring, but just before leaving, I felt a little reluctant to leave."
Chen Beilei and Lu Yan were catching butterflies with their hats. Zhao Ganmei, who was sitting not far away, picked a wild flower in her hand and turned to look at Zhang Hongcheng.
"Zhang Hongcheng, where are the snacks you brought? Why don't you take them out?"
Without waiting for Zhang Hongcheng to say anything, Du Gang walked up and took off Zhang Hongcheng's backpack.
Soon several people exclaimed in surprise.
"If you weren't my classmate, I would have reported you as a capitalist long ago!"
"Plum blossom cakes, cool cakes, mung bean cakes, small twisted dough sticks, and melon seeds. Comrade Zhang, you're not using your sister's travel expenses, are you?"
Several people expressed regret, but their hands did not slow down at all.
After eating a few pieces of cake and drinking a few sips of water from the green iron kettle, all the fatigue from climbing the mountain was gone.
Young people are always full of energy.
Zhang Hongcheng observed the situation of the reservoir below calmly.
The continuous heavy rains in the past two days have indeed filled the reservoir to the brim.
To the east of the reservoir is a dam made of earth and stone. He had inquired about it before coming here and learned that it was built by the local commune itself and was completely incomparable to the concrete dams of later generations.
His gaze finally fell on the west side of the reservoir.
It was a towering cliff.
Fatty Hu spent a lot of money to collect information about this mudslide.
The main cause of the mudslide was the loosening of a large amount of soil on the hillside due to the rain in the previous few days.
Several villages in Shanxia Commune were busy with the double harvest and had no time to release floodwaters from the reservoir.
As a result, the cliff on the west side of the reservoir suddenly collapsed and landslided, causing the water level of the reservoir to rise sharply. Several large holes were opened in the embankment on the east side, and a large amount of water gushed out, carrying away the loose soil and causing a mudslide.
He stared at the towering cliff to the west, his brows furrowed deeply.
Because he couldn't judge how much time they would have left to inform the two villages at the foot of the mountain after the cliff slid into the reservoir.
If a flash flood occurs too quickly, it will be very dangerous for people who run down the mountain to report the news.
"Lao Zhang, what are you looking at?"
Du Gang walked over with a fried dough twist in his mouth, chewing it.
Zhang Hongcheng pointed at the cliff.
"I seemed to see that cliff move just now?"
Jian Yong used the water in the iron kettle to wash down the cool cake stuck in his throat, and rushed to tease Zhang Hongcheng.
"Are you dazzled? How is it possible that there's such a huge cliff?"
Chen Beilei just caught a butterfly with her hat, but the butterfly escaped from the hat the next second, and Chen Beilei didn't react at all.
She looked at the cliff in the distance in surprise - the cliff was slowly but steadily sliding into the reservoir.
Even Zhang Hongcheng, who knew what was going to happen, was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, they finally understood the power of nature.
A cliff nearly a hundred meters high collapsed, stirring up waves seven or eight meters high that surged toward the east like a wall.
The six people looked at the weak stone embankment and their faces turned pale.
"Let's get down the mountain quickly!"
Zhao Ganmei, slightly panicked, immediately proposed.
Zhang Hongcheng pointed seriously towards the east.
"Over there are the Yinjia and Maqiao brigades. If a breach in the reservoir dam occurs, there's a long, gentle slope to the east. The trees on top have long been cut down by several brigades, so the most likely disaster would be a mudslide!"
"I estimate that if a mudslide really did occur, it would have reached the two brigades around noon, when everyone would be at home eating and resting..."
The expressions of the other five people changed instantly.
"Boom~~~."
The stone dam was torn into several large holes by the waves.
