An Ning and Wang Xiuzhen were busy with the family's meals together, and Liu Guoqiang had nothing to do, so he joined in the fun on the sidelines, chatting with An Ning from time to time.

When it was time to get out of school, Liu Guodong went to pick up Liu Guoqing with an umbrella.

In Liu Guodong's impression, Liu Guoqing is so old that he seems to have never been picked up and picked up. In fact, it is not only Liu Guoqing himself, including him and Liu Guoqiang, and even many children in the village, from the day they first grade, their parents send them to school, and then they don't care anymore, and from then on, they have to rely on themselves to go home and school.

Liu Guodong was waiting at the school gate, the rain was still falling, and the rain was crackling on the umbrella. There weren't many parents waiting at the school gate, and no one seemed to realize that the weather was supposed to pick up their children. Children who grow up in the countryside are generally self-reliant, and they are more comfortable going home.

When it was time to get out of school, Liu Guodong looked for Liu Guoqing's figure through the mist and looked at it, all he saw were umbrellas, all colors, which was simply dazzling.

Liu Guodong couldn't find Liu Guoqing's figure, so he shouted at the door: "National Day, National Day!" ”

Liu Guoqing was in school, he saw Liu Guodong from a distance, he never thought that the eldest brother would come to pick him up, he couldn't help but be happy, he jumped up involuntarily, and waved his hand at Liu Guodong: "Big brother, big brother, I'm here." ”

The students were too crowded after school, and Liu Guoqing couldn't run to Liu Guodong at the first time.

"Liu Guoqing, who is here to pick you up?" A classmate asked.

"My eldest brother." Liu Guoqing said proudly.

"Your eldest brother is so kind to you, and he came to pick you up from school." The classmate said enviously.

"My eldest brother and sister-in-law are the best people in our family." Liu Guoqing said.

Finally squeezed in front of Liu Guodong in the crowd, Liu Guoqing's eyes were about to narrow into a slit, and the joy in his heart was self-evident: "Big brother, why do you want to pick me up?" ”

"When it rains, the ditches are flooded, and I'm worried about you." Liu Guodong said and waved his hand at him: "Let's go!" Today, your sister-in-law and I are resting, my mother is making dumplings at home, and our family is also getting together for a good meal. ”

Liu Guoqing was overjoyed, he liked this harmonious atmosphere very much, and followed Liu Guodong with an umbrella.

"Big brother, did you ask my sister-in-law?" Liu Guoqing's voice was originally small, and now the rain crackled and fell on the umbrella, and from time to time there would be a muffled thunder, Liu Guodong didn't hear what he said clearly, so he said to him: "What did you say?" Big and small, talk like a gentleman, speak loudly. ”

"Big brother, did I say you asked my sister-in-law?" Liu Guoqing followed Liu Guodong's example and shouted with an open voice.

Liu Guodong likes Liu Guoqing like this, no matter how he says it, he is also a boy, and he is always introverted like a little girl. Liu Guodong gave Liu Guoqing a thumbs up with satisfaction, and responded with a smile: "What are you asking?" ”

"It's just that I went to work with you and my second brother on the weekend!"

Liu Guodong suddenly realized, smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I forgot." When you get home, ask your sister-in-law in person. ”

"Big brother, can my sister-in-law agree?" Liu Guoqing asked with some apprehension.

"Your sister-in-law! Although she wants you to study hard and win glory for our old Liu family, she is also a good person to discuss, I think you should think about a few benefits to tell your sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law can agree. Liu Guodong deliberately teased at Liu Guoqing.

As they spoke, the two brothers had already come to the river. When Liu Guodong came over, the road was already submerged, connected to the river, and he found the road to wade through it completely by feeling. There are two ways to get back to the village from school, and there is another one, and the other road is so far that it takes a lot of time to go around to another village next to it, and to cross from other people's villages to your own village.

The other village is near, so take that road. But some are lazy, so they can only take this road.

There were two boys in front of them, holding hands and wading slowly through the river. Because of the mixing of river water and rainwater, many stones in the river have been washed up onto the road, which is particularly difficult to walk.

The heavy rain began in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was already very heavy when I went to school in the morning, and the roads in the village were not easy to walk, so the students consciously wore rain boots to school. Rain boots are no bigger than ordinary shoes, they are a bit bulky to wear, and you have to be careful when walking.

Liu Guodong was worried about Liu Guoqing, so he stretched out his hand and signaled to take his hand. Liu Guoqing was also obedient, so he took Liu Guodong's hand and cautiously followed him forward.

"Ahh

Liu Guodong was wading through the water to explore the way, but he heard a scream, looked up, and saw the two children in front of him, one accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the river. Because the two were holding hands, the child fell into the river, and the other was dragged down. Both children, who could not swim, fluttered in the river and their umbrellas floated on the water.

Liu Guodong watched the two children fall into the river, anxious, but worried about Liu Guoqing's comfort, so he turned his head to him and ordered: "You stand here and don't move, I'll go and rescue them." ”

Liu Guoqing was taken aback, he had never seen this kind of scene, so he could only nod heavily.

Liu Guodong let go of Liu Guoqing's hand with confidence and rushed towards the two children.

At this time, two classmates happened to come from behind, and when they saw the situation here, they asked Liu Guoqing, "What's wrong?" Liu Guoqing! ”

"Liu Shigen and Liu Haisheng fell into the river." Liu Guoqing turned his head to look at the two classmates behind him, who were also from their village, one level lower than Liu Guoqing. The children in the village can't keep up with a lot of nutrition, and they are not tall, and these two little girls don't look like junior high school students, but more like elementary school students.

As soon as they heard that someone had fallen into the river, the two little girls were a little frightened, and their hands were held tightly, and the umbrellas slammed together.

The road is not particularly wide, and when it doesn't rain, up to four people can fill the road side by side, and there are ditches on the left and right. But fortunately, this road is not particularly long, twenty or thirty meters away, and the river in front of it does not fork, and it becomes a wide avenue.

It is more vivid to say that it is a road, but the only thing about this bridge is that there is no bridge hole. It was after the river forked, and the impact over time formed a road.

Originally, the people in the village did not take this road, because earlier there was no road here, and everyone took another road.

But then the road was hit here, and there were more people walking, and it became a road after all. Because a lot of times, people prefer to take a closer path.
