144 Sleepless Nights
The whole village was without power, and the rain outside turned into a light rain after 12 o'clock.
The sound of the flood was stronger than ever, and Lu Qiang couldn't sleep at all. Not only was he worried about Lu Qinghe's fever, but he was also worried about the flood that had been rising outside.
"Qinghe, be good, go to sleep, it's been a tiring day." Lu Qiang patted Qinghe's back: "Are you afraid?" It's okay, no matter how much the flood rises, it can't go up. ”
Shanggu Village is a hillside, starting from Lu Kanghui's house and going up, at least 300 meters above sea level. Xiagu Village is originally a low-lying area, and water will enter the house when it rains a little more.
"Dad, I can't sleep, why don't I go out with you." The sound of water outside, and the sound of footsteps and conversations, Lu Qinghe couldn't sleep on such a night.
Lu Qiang lowered his head and thought for a few seconds, then nodded in agreement. just wrapped up Lu Qinghe's grandfather's coat with Lu Guan, and put on a raincoat for her, and Lu Qiang himself held a big black cloth umbrella. As soon as their father and daughter opened the door, Lu Guan came over with his coat on, and handed them two flashlights: "Come back early, don't catch a cold." ”
It's really awkward and cute.
"Dad, grandpa and grandma are so nice today, I used to think that they didn't like our family the most. I almost hated them. Lu Qinghe didn't mean to laugh, she still remembers that when she was sick, her sister took her to her grandfather to see a doctor and get medicine, but she was directly ignored by her grandfather.
The eldest sister and the second sister all cried urgently.
In the previous life, was this unfair treatment still less?
It's not a lot at all, or it's not a lot more than the grandparents hurt their five sisters.
The only ones who can make Lu Qinghe hate are these relatives.
Lu Qiang stopped, squatted down and gently touched Qinghe's head: "I promise, the grandparents in the future will be better than now, and they will be better and better for Qinghe and your five sisters." "Even if they don't treat you well, I will do my best to make your life better.
"Little four, isn't it little four?" Lao Wu's voice came from the front.
But after a while, the fifth child ran to Lu Qinghe: "Little fourth, why haven't you slept yet?" Isn't it as excited as I am? Oh my God, I've grown so big, I've never seen such a big flood. Tsk, especially when I saw my big house swallowed up by the flood, I was so scared that I ate four bowls of rice. ”
"Hahahaha, Fifth Brother, can you stop being so funny?" Lu Qinghe was amused by Lao Wu's stupid words.
"Uncle Qiang, I'll take Xiaosi to Teacher Lu's house to play, is it okay? I promise not to take her to the water's edge. "Teacher Lu's family is full of children and the elderly, and the elder brothers are not at home, and the other children can't play with the fifth child.
"Okay, the fifth child can't let Qinghe touch the water, I'll come and pick her up later." Lu Qiang also needs to go to other places to see if there is anything he needs his help with.
Lao Wu took the flashlight in Lu Qinghe's hand with his right hand, and took Lu Qinghe's hand with his left hand: "Little Four, you seem to have lost weight again, look at my palm is much bigger than yours." "He's a few months younger than Junior.
As soon as they walked into the living room of Teacher Lu's house, several familiar people surrounded them: "Lu Qinghe, why are you here?" Didn't you fall into the river and drown? ”
It was Xie Chunlan who spoke, what a disgusting child.
Lu Qinghe shook off the fifth child's hand, made a ghost appearance and rushed to Xie Chunlan: "I'm dead, I'm a ghost now, give me back my life." Xie Chunlan and the other little girls screamed in fright and ran away: "Haha, coward." ”
Alas, it's nice to have children to play with.
Lu Qinghe felt that he was really falling. Fell.
The fifth brother stood aside and laughed, the two laughed for a while, and the fifth said: "Little four, did my fourth brother write to you?" He hadn't called home for two weeks, and my mother was about to scold my fourth brother. What has no conscience, what really recognizes my uncle as a family. I was annoyed when I heard it, my fourth brother didn't agree to go to the county seat, my mother had to send it, take a look, send it, this is reluctant, that can't be thought of. ”
A look of trouble!
"I wrote a letter, and I received a letter from him a week ago, saying that he would come back after the exam. It is normal for him to be busy in the Olympiad before. You. Mom doesn't know? Speaking of Aunt Xiang, Lu Qinghe couldn't help but touch his nose, Aunt Xiang seemed to be getting more and more distant from herself.
Lu Qinghe didn't know if he was thinking too much, in short, he didn't feel as kind as before.
Lao Wu spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, anyway, my fourth brother is the smartest person in my family, smarter than the third brother, there will be nothing wrong." My eldest brother didn't make a phone call for most of the year, and he didn't see his mother talking. Little four, when do you think the rain will stop? You see, the flood has flooded all the ancient villages, and even if the flood waters subside, we won't have a home to live in. ”
If you don't have a home, what will you do in the future?
Worry about!
――――
"Qiangzi, why haven't you slept yet? I'm in a hurry, the ancient village is all gone, and I don't know what happened to other people's villages. "The road in front of Lingu Village was all flooded, and there was no way out, no way in, and no electricity. If it has to work for several days in a row, it's really a bad day.
It's like an island, you can't get out, you can't get in.
"Third brother, fourth brother, Uncle Hui" Lu Qiang took out a cigarette and handed a cigarette to everyone present, but he didn't take it himself. Lu Kanghui's house was particularly lively tonight, with a few candles lit in the living room, seven or eight benches at the door, and a full crowd of village men.
Lu Qiang listened to everyone's discussion and looked at the waves of floods in the dark.
"This is bigger than the flood fifty years ago, alas, it's a pity that there are so many houses, what will I do in the future?"
"If you don't move things early today, you can talk about the pig, cow, chicken, duck and dog, I'm afraid you won't be able to live."
"Yes, this afternoon, the village chief shouted the radio, I thought it was a joke. Fortunately, my mother said that we had to listen to the village chief, otherwise, our family would not be able to keep anything valuable. ”
"Who's to say it isn't? After 80 years of life, it was the first time I had seen such a great flood. In the afternoon, the houses in the ancient village fell into the water one after another, which was really scary. If I have to guess, I don't know how many places in the province have suffered. ”
"Hehe, what's there to worry about, we don't have a power outage here, there is rice and rice, vegetables can be picked up on the mountain, and water is also available. Even if it rains for another ten days, the people in our village will be fine. Mainly, to put it mildly, it's better to be the cadres in our village, if the village chief's broadcast is an hour late, I see how many families in the ancient village will cry for the early years. ”
"That's right, we're just a small Xijiang River, the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and other big places, maybe we really need the help of the comrades of the People's Liberation Army. However, I heard from the village chief that this year, we saved the notice of flood control early, and the county heard that it was still the waterproof project that Lu Qili helped do. I think the county leaders are rising this time. ”
"Who said it wasn't, I didn't expect that our Lu family in Lingu Village could do such a big thing."
While they don't know it, the whole province is doing flood prevention and disaster relief work.
In Ansha City, Chu Anhui called the teacher to report that he was safe, but he had to sigh: "Teacher, how did you know that there would be such a big flood this time." I heard, this time it was you who brought it up to the top? If you look at the TV, all of them are reporting on flood prevention and disaster relief, and so far, our province has suffered the least damage. ”
Chu Anhui was actually reminded by Lu Qinghe, during the week of high fever, Lu Qinghe was only watching her father's absence, and she would secretly go online to see the situation in other areas, the amount of rainfall, flood control remarks or something. Of course, her novels have not been interrupted, but she reminds everyone at the end of the novel to prevent floods, so that her readers and fans spread.
There are also some tips on flood control.
"Don't be too happy, there will be rain in the next half a month, it's hard to say. By the way, Xiao Qinghe heard that she was going to come to Ansha City to participate in the finals of the Olympiad during the summer vacation, did you make an appointment with her? We'll have dinner together, and I'm going to bring her over for my birthday. ”
Chu Anhui heard what the teacher meant, and he had the intention to mention Lu Qinghe, a little kid: "It's an appointment, she said that if you can't make it to the finals in the Olympiad competition, you can stay in Ansha City for a week, and if you enter the finals, half a month will be a problem." It also happens to be the time period of your birthday. ”
"That's good, this kid, I like it very much, he's smart and well-behaved." Of course, Lu Qinghe, a little girl, in Guo Qing's heart, is not just smart and well-behaved. This is a magical little girl, who, as soon as she enters the flood, thinks of calling him, an old man, to help him and ask him to deliver a message to it.
In fact, without his handover, the above will also do flood control work, but his handover will pay more attention to and be more comprehensive, and expand greater influence. Everyone knows that intellectuals, in any era, will have a certain way to deal with politics/governance.
An old scholar like Guo Qing is even more peach and plum all over the world, and there are always so many students in special departments. The power of one or two may be small and not obvious, but if they can all be added together, it is a strong force. No one can stop it.
If there were no such severe floods, then flood control would be nothing, just a waste of time and money; As long as there are no casualties in front of human life, the other losses can be saved and earned.
Those students of Guo Qing, when this busy period is over, they have to come to celebrate the birthday of this teacher.
――――-
"Why haven't you slept yet? Still watching the news of Ansa City and Qilin City? ”
When Lu Zheheng came home from work, he saw that the light in his son's room was still on, and he knew what his son was doing without looking at the picture on the computer.
In the past 10 days, all the TV and computers have been flooded across the country. Judging from the current situation, Lingu Village is basically spared, and the phone cannot be called, and I heard that most areas of Hunan Province are without electricity. The soldiers of the whole province have already gone to the disaster-stricken areas to provide rescue.
Every day, the number of people swallowed up by floods or the lives taken by mudslides is updated on TV and computers.
Many of those who are worried about Lu Qiang's family are Lu Yichen alone, and their whole family is worried. His grandfather even went directly to the front line of the flood, and many areas in Guangdong were also affected.
"Dad, do you also say that the Qingqing family will also be submerged?" Lu Yichen remembered that Lu Qinghe's home in Lingu Village was in Xiagu Village, and the place where there was definitely a flood. "You said Uncle Qiang, why did you bring Qingqing back to Lingu Village? Such a dangerous place, if you come out now, and if you can't get in, you will die in a hurry. ”
After he knew it for the first time, he called Lu Qinghe's house, whether the call was made to Wanlu Supermarket, or the second sister answered the phone, saying that his father brought Qinghe back to the village, and during this time, the whole village was surrounded by floods. Not to mention that they went to find someone, they couldn't get in at all.
"You can only say this in front of me, if Qingqing hears you talk about her father like this, she will have to find you desperately. Don't worry, didn't you say it over there Uncle Xie, Lin Gucun issued a relocation notice early, and they will be fine, you might as well rest early, the final exam is coming up. Isn't Qingqing going to Ansa City to participate in the Olympiad during the summer vacation? You might as well please you. Mom, your grandma, let you go on a trip? ”
Sure enough, he is worthy of being a father, and even such information has helped his son think about it.
"Oh, Dad, you're so nice." Lu Yichen's sorrow dissipated in an instant, he was in his first year of high school, hugged his father and sprinkled his coquettishness, so he rushed into the bathroom to take a bath, ready to rest early, his final grades were good, and it was much more convenient to talk to his grandmother and mother about the conditions.
For more than a year, Lu Yichen has been particularly interested in reading points, although he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but except for a few retired old writers, the other employees are personally recruited by him, as long as there is something in the south of Jianjiangnan, he will immediately run over to help.
There is also a real estate company, in two years, he bought back the shares that he planned to withdraw from, and only he and Lu Qinghe were left.
Now he has found that the real estate company is not so easy, not that the land can be collected and collected, but also needs to build houses or shops. Fortunately, his family supported him to start a business at a young age, and gave him 5 million to send and receive shares in his hands and expand the land.
He really bought a piece of land according to the places that Lu Qinghe painted for him. In cooperation with a construction company, a commercial building is under construction.
As long as he thought that Qingqing could be seen in Ansha City during the summer vacation, Lu Yichen's whole person was full of vitality.
"What did you say to Chenchen, he was willing to listen to you and go to bed early?" Wang Shu asked with a smile.
"Of course, I mentioned your future daughter-in-law Qingqing, saying that Qingqing is going to Ansha City to participate in the Olympiad in the summer vacation, so that your son's final results will be better, and let him go to Ansha City alone to find Qingqing to play. I mentioned it casually, and your son took it seriously, humming happily and taking a bath. ”
His son is really, the older he gets, the less cute he becomes. Usually not serious, like taking a bath need to sing, before the age of ten, every day in the bath to sing to them. As a result, after the car accident, it seems to have scared this cute point away.
"Really? I don't think it's just bathing and singing. ”
"Of course, your son is still looking for me to be coquettish." Saying that, the smile on the corner of Lu Zheheng's mouth couldn't be contained at all.
Wang Shu laughed even more: "Your son is so old, and he is still looking for you to be coquettish, if you don't say him, forget it, he is still proud here, I think your father and son are living more and more back." However, I will let Chenchen be coquettish to me tomorrow, and I will let him go to Ansha City. But really let him go alone? He's only fourteen or fifteen years old, so is that really good? ”
"You can rest assured about this, I will arrange the rest." (To be continued.) )
