24. Look at you like a popsicle

The next day, Qi Baoan endured the huge pain in his buttocks, climbed from the ladder to the roof of the partial building, observed the flood situation, and muttered wistfully, "It's up again!" ”

Han Dong next door also covered his buttocks, and went up to the side building from his house, and when he turned around, he saw Shen Mengxi across the courtyard wall, smiling and watching him climb the ladder hard, and suddenly became angry: "Laughing fart, laughing!" ”

"Laugh at you, laugh!" Shen Mengxi said with a smile.

Qi Baoan laughed when he heard this, and gave his sister a thumbs up.

"Qi Baoan, let me tell you, your sister was originally a very good child, but you took it badly!" Fourteen-year-old Han Dong said in the tone of an adult.

"Why am I bringing it bad? That's what she is! "The two brothers and sisters were separated by a house, shouting at the top of their voices.

Shen Mengxi looked at the barbaric brothers and sisters, and knew that it was extra to worry about them, they would not feel hurt because they were beaten by their parents in public, and they would die or live.

The law of "filial piety under the stick" is still working at this time, and the little boy in the Northeast who has not been beaten by his father is as rare as a cat who can't catch mice.

She shrugged and went back to her room.

In the middle of the night that day, Lu Xiuzhi decided to simulate an escape from breaking the embankment, so as not to be in a hurry when the water really happened.

I tried to shout out to the three children, "Baoping!" Security guard! Beads! Hurry up! It's a big flood! ”

shouted twice, Qi Baoping and Shen Mengxi got up, Qi Baoping got up, grabbed his sister and climbed up the ladder, they have been sleeping in clothes recently, just to prevent a sudden burst.

The neighbor Han family was all shouted, thinking that it was really watery, Han Dong's father Han Jianfu dragged Han Dong to the yard, and Han Dong's eyes were still closed.

Qi security guards were even worse, sleeping like dead pigs, and they couldn't wake up no matter how they pulled it.

"If this is coming in the middle of the night, what will happen!" Lu Xiuzhi was very sad, and said to Han Dong's mother Li Qiaofeng: "The sleeping child is dead, you can't carry him to the ceiling on your back!" ”

Due to the large spacing between the ladders, Shen Mengxi's short legs could not climb the ladder independently, and she had to be carried on and off by people. It's humiliating.

In desperation, Lu Xiuzhi decided to move to the ceiling to sleep in the days to come. Qi Baoping made a small screen door and installed it at the entrance of the ceiling.

Qi security guard was very excited, as if he had moved to a new home, he surveyed and decided to fall asleep in the innermost part, Han Dong also slept in the innermost part of his house, and the two were separated by a curtain, as if they were asleep together.

Lu Xiuzhi slept in the middle, Qi Baoping was at the small door of the canopy, and Shen Mengxi was between Lu Xiuzhi and Qi Baoping. On the first night, Shen Mengxi was bitten by mosquitoes in five packs, three of which were on the face, big and red, Lu Xiuzhi blamed herself very much, and said while rubbing toothpaste on her: "Why does this mosquito bite my girl?" Alas, the blood of children is sweet! Thinking about it, he said: "Those who live in earthen houses have moved to the south mountain to build shacks in the past two days, it is better for us, there are more mosquitoes on the mountain, and they can eat people!" ”

"I haven't lived in a shack yet, Mom! Let's go up the mountain and stay for a few days! "Security guard Qi was very curious.

Lu Xiuzhi glanced at him angrily, and stuffed the Harbin toothpaste in his hand into his hand, "Brush your teeth!" ”

"Mom, I want to eat popsicles!" The fragrance of Harbin toothpaste is somewhat similar to that of popsicles, and every time I brush my teeth, Qi Baoan will be hungry for popsicles and want to swallow the toothpaste foam.

"Get out! I think you're like a popsicle! ”

******

After living in the canopy for two days, Shen Mengxi felt that the river water was like being packed in a plastic bag, precarious, and would burst out at any time. The neighborhood organized each family to prepare a meal and send it to the dam, and Qi Baoping also went to the dam to replace his father and go home to sleep for a while and rest.

Lu Xiuzhi agreed with tears in her eyes, steamed two bags of steamed buns that day, sent them to the dam, and asked Qi Baoan to go to the street to stop a popsicle seller, Bao Yuan'er a box of popsicles, and asked the aunt who sold popsicles to push the cart directly to the dam and give it to the front-line flood fighters to eat.

Qi Baoan and Han Dong carried two buckets of water that had just been pumped out of the pressure well on bicycles, put a water scoop in the buckets, and delivered water to the dam one by one. They found a sense of accomplishment from people's heartfelt praise, and also mobilized their friends to join in and contribute to the defense of their hometown.

Shen Mengxi was placed on the ceiling by his family, and he was not even allowed to come down during the day. She stood on the roof of the building and watched the battle on the dam, thinking of the flood fighting by the Songhua River, and had a lot of thoughts for a while.

Uncle Qi Youde and brother-in-law Lu Xiufeng came to the county seat at the same time.

Old man Qi knew that his son could not take care of the family in flood fighting, and he was very worried about his granddaughter, so he asked his son to pick him up, although Taiping Village also had the risk of bursting the embankment, but he felt that at the critical moment, he could fight for his life to protect his granddaughter, and his daughter-in-law was a woman, so he would definitely not be able to protect his granddaughter.

My brother-in-law drove a farm tractor to pick up his nephews from the Corps, which was on high ground and not near the river, so my grandmother had long been thinking about it and took them all back to live.

"Second sister, if I don't come to pick it up, can't you send the child by yourself? When is this time, why are you still so foreign? Lu Xiufeng was a little angry.

"Xiufeng, the second sister is not an outsider, my house is okay, it's nothing!"

"Your home is too close to the river! If there is wood rushing downstream, can you guarantee that the brick house will withstand the impact? ”

Lu Xiuzhi's face turned pale and was frightened. Lu Xiufeng didn't say anything more, and shouted to the security guard: "Niece dog, something without conscience!" Pack up your things, your eldest uncle's house has no place to live, go to your second uncle's house! ”

Qi Youde weighed it again and again, and agreed to let his nephew and niece go to the corps, after all, it was the real safe place.

Lu Xiuzhi thought of the cleanliness of her little brother and sister, and she was very hesitant, "Why don't you let the two of them go to the eldest brother's house and squeeze with their parents!" ”

Lu Xiufeng lowered his face, "The third sister has gone back with her four children, and there is no place to live!" Second sister, I can still treat my nephew badly! Leave it to me, you still don't worry! Guaranteed to be chubby! ”

"As if you could be the master of your daughter-in-law!" Lu Xiuzhi really couldn't help it, rolled her eyes, this younger brother, in front of outsiders, is very good-looking, bragging about not paying taxes, talking about it all over the world, and when he came home and saw his Shanghai educated daughter-in-law, he immediately saw the old cat like a mouse.

But the eldest brother's family has a large population, and he still lives with his parents, plus the third sister's family, there must be no place to live, she only agrees to let the two younger ones live in her younger brother's house, which is much better than following her to live on the roof with fear.

"Security guard, when you go to your uncle's house, you have to have eyesight, you know? Don't make trouble, don't make a demon, your uncle and mother love to be clean, you don't make trouble in the house, remember? Be sure to take care of your sister and don't let her be bullied! Lu Xiuzhi said to his old son.

Qi Baoan nodded like pounding garlic, and he didn't know if he heard it.
