In October 2021, many places in Shanxi Province suffered a rare flood, Nanqiaotou Village is a very seriously affected village in Jiexiu City, the entire village was flooded, all houses were damaged to varying degrees, of which 47 villagers' houses were seriously damaged and uninhabitable.
Zhang Jipeng said: "After the flood, my family's house was identified as a D-class dangerous house, and a family of 4 could only go to the city to temporarily rent a house, and they did not dare to think that they could go back to the village for the New Year. Fortunately, the government provided temporary resettlement housing for us to spend a 'warm' Spring Festival. ”
"Recovery and reconstruction after the disaster is the most important task of the local government." Chen Kongrui, deputy secretary of the party branch of Nanqiaotou Village, said that with the support of governments at all levels, Nanqiaotou Village has carried out the reconstruction of the original site and the construction of resettlement houses. Houses identified as generally damaged have been repaired and reinforced, and in 2022, seriously damaged houses will be repaired and rebuilt. It is understood that Jiexiu City has allocated 71.5476 million yuan of subsidies for the repair and reconstruction of various farm houses damaged by the disaster.
An Yufei, 49, said: "I hope that the grain harvest will be great." ”
"I hope that this year the wind and rain will be smooth and there will be a good harvest." According to An Yufei, a poverty alleviation mass in Nanqiaotou Village, the family's three acres and two points of land were lost due to the disaster, and there was not a single long yam left in the field, losing nearly 30,000 yuan. ”

In this flood, the farmland in Nanqiaotou Village was nearly two meters deep, and although corn, sorghum and other grain crops were harvested, they were soaked in the yard and lost about half. Field vegetables and long yam are not yet harvested because the harvest season is not yet in place.
Seeing that the poverty-alleviated households encountered difficulties, cadres at the three levels of Jiexiu City, Township and Village understood and helped solve the "urgent difficulties and anxieties" of the disaster-stricken masses while rebuilding after the disaster. The government subsidizes 75 yuan per mu for the disaster victims; after repeated communications with insurance companies, the city pays some crops such as corn and other crops according to the absolute income; the damaged rural roads give priority to arranging the villagers affected by the disaster to participate in maintenance and reconstruction, so that the people can work nearby to earn money.
"Although the disaster was so serious, with the care of the party and the government, I did not return to poverty. In any case, the land cannot be scarce, and I decided to wait until the spring of the lunar calendar is warm in March, and I will grow some vegetables to increase my income. An Yufei said.
Lu Zengwen, 72, said: "I hope that the homeland can be rebuilt. ”
In this flood, the 5 brick and tile houses of the 72-year-old Lu Zengwen's family have all collapsed, and the optimistic old man hopes that in 2022, Guotai Min'an will be safe and the home can be rebuilt. "Post-disaster reconstruction is in the hearts of the people, as long as everyone unites and helps each other, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome, and I firmly believe that the homeland will be built better." Lu Zengwen said.
