The day after the levee burst, it rained again and stopped in the evening. The water level of the Nanhe River has also risen a lot, and the uncle strictly forbids the children to go to the river to play.

"Daddy! We're not going to be flooded, I'm afraid! Ruyani asked, hugging her father's neck.

"Nope! Our regiment is a treasure land, even if the water rises, Yani is not afraid, with Dad here, lift you high! Don't be afraid of anything! Lu Xiufeng pinched his daughter's armpit and lifted her daughter high, and Lu Yani let out a happy laugh.

Shen Mengxi looked at it and smiled, this is a complete childhood.

Lu Xiufeng found his niece's gaze, put down his daughter, and lifted his niece again, causing Shen Mengxi to scream in fright.

"Hahaha!" Lu Xiufeng laughed and threw it up, "Zhuzhu is too light, you have to eat more!" ”

"Daddy!" Lu Yani protested dissatisfiedly by hugging her father's thigh, "I want it too!" ”

******

The water was still rushing upstream, and it wasn't until five days later that the water level gradually dropped.

Although sufficient preparations have been made, due to the sudden burst of the embankment, two people are still missing, many people are injured, livestock and poultry have suffered countless losses, thousands of houses have collapsed, tens of thousands of acres of fertile land have been flooded, and the economic losses are immeasurable.

The forestry bureaus of various districts and counties under Yi City quickly organized rescue teams to go to Jiayang County to help, contribute people, donate money and materials, and build roads and houses.

If you want to go to Jiayang, the Corps is the only way to go. The day after the water receded, a convoy passed by on the road, and Shen Mengxi and a group of children rushed to the intersection to watch the teams of cars pulling machines and workers towards Jiayang.

Qi security guard shouted to go home, but was persuaded by his uncle, "If you go back at this time, you will add to the chaos!" ”

"Leave the orb, I'll go back, I can work!" What a mess! Qi Baoan was despised by his uncle and was very hurt, "You don't have to look down on me, if you don't send me, I'll walk back by myself, isn't it forty miles away?" ”

Lu Xiufeng couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, okay, uncle, arrange the work at hand, and I'll send you back!" ”

When Shen Mengxi and Qi Baoan returned to Jiayang County, it was five days after the flood receded.

Lu Xiufeng still drove the tractor to send his nephews back.

As soon as I entered the county seat, a foul smell came to my face.

"Huh? What a smell, so stinky! Qi Baoan pinched his nose in disgust.

"Stinky beans, the grain depot has been flooded, the rice and white flour have been transported up the mountain, there are too many soybeans, and some of them have not had time to be transported. It stinks! "Lu Xiufeng was also smoked to the point of disgusting." Forget it, you two should go back to the Corps with me, I'll find someone for you, and study in the Corps for a semester first, I don't know when it stinks, how can I live there! ”

Qi Baoan disagreed and insisted on returning to the county seat.

On the houses one by one, the waterline flush with the door frame reminds people of the height of this flood, and Shen Mengxi imagined that all the houses were soaked in water, and the situation of Zeguo was sighing.

There is still uncleaned mud on the streets and on the walls of buildings, and there is garbage everywhere on the roadside, and occasionally dead chickens and cats that have not had time to clean up. A stone bridge over the South River was washed away, and it did not collapse on the day it burst, but collapsed after heavy rain the next day. Now there are a few logs on it, and people are staggering across the bridge. A cart of stinky soybeans was pulled out from the grain depot, and passers-by covered their noses one after another.

"There's fertilizer in the field now!" After meeting with a stinky bean car, Lu Xiufeng said.

"Uncle, do you want to buy it?" Shen Mengxi asked.

"Huh?" Lu Xiufeng was stunned, "Yes, yes, of course my uncle has to buy it!" ”

The water line of the Qi family is only a little under the windowsill, which shows the high terrain, Lu Xiufeng stopped the car and shouted: "Second sister!" Second sister! ”

Qi Youheng came over from the backyard and saw his brother-in-law hurriedly greeting, Qi security guards rushed over and hugged his father, "Dad!" I'm afraid you'll let the water wash away! ”

"Fuck you! Can't think of something good! Qi Youheng raised his foot to kick, Qi security guard screamed and jumped away, Lu Xiuzhi came out of the house and looked Shen Mengxi up and down, "Uncle's food is good, my girls are fat!" Xiufeng, the two children have caused trouble for you and Zhou Peiyi. ”

"Don't bother, your own children, they're sensible! Baozhu knows that she washes her hair and socks, which is much better than my Anicole! ”

Lu Xiuzhi looked at her daughter in surprise, "Zhuzhu really knows how to wash her hair and socks?" ”

"Second sister, our mother said that you can cook at the age of seven."

"How could I compare then, now it's a good time for the children to give birth." Lu Xiuzhi looked unbearable, "Entering the house, entering the house, the house is messy." ”

The Qi family is indeed in chaos, although the firewood stacks are bundled, but still floated away a lot of halberds, and there are only large pieces of coal left in the coal shed, which have been washed and shiny, there are still traces of silt on the bricks in the yard, and the vegetables in the back garden are also waterlogged, and the water pressed out of the well is still a little turbid.

There is also mud in the house, which is the most troublesome to clean up, and they have to go to work during the day, so Qi Baoping slowly picks it up at home. The kang and stove were just built, Qi Youheng and his brother-in-law said: "My family Baoping will pan the kang, do you believe it?" ”

"Believe, your daughter can wash her hair, and your son can pan kang, I believe it!" After saying that, he laughed.

"Look at you, you still don't believe it!" Qi Youheng was dissatisfied.

"Yo, the old hen is still alive?"

"I've put the roof on the door!" Lu Xiuzhi smiled a little smugly.

"You can really do it, second sister, you sacrifice your life and money, just stay on the roof like this, you know what our mother is in a hurry!"

"Hey, I said I always sneeze, you tell our mom, I'm fine anywhere, don't worry about it!"

"How unconscionable these words are! Zhuzhu, you see how conscienceless your mother is, your grandfather can't wait to swim to rescue their two girls, your mother doesn't appreciate it here at all! ”

"Come on, I'm so spoiled!" Lu Xiuzhi rolled her eyes.

"See what I've brought?" Lu Xiufeng turned to point to his tractor tow bucket and said proudly.

"What?" Lu Xiuzhi went to see, it turned out that Lu Xiufeng brought half a cart of vegetables, and several large buckets of water, twenty catties of white wine barrels filled with clean water, and a few water baskets, also full of water, covered with sunflower leaves.

"Xiufeng, you are too hearty!" Qi Youheng patted his brother-in-law on the shoulder, "Baoping!" Come on! ”

Qi Baoping came out of the ceiling in response, put down the hammer in his hand, greeted Lu Xiufeng, got off the ladder, and unloaded the water down.

Shen Mengxi looked at Qi Baoping, saw that he had lost some weight, and when he finished moving, he handed him a handkerchief, Qi Baoping smiled and touched her hair, "I'm about to become a little chubby!" ”

"Third brother, you've lost weight."

"It's okay! Mom and Dad have lost weight. Qi Baoping still said with a smile.

"Did you go up the mountain?"

"No, the three of us have been living on the canopy all along."

"Are you scared?"

"No, the third brother is not afraid. The water is rumbling over, and it's kind of fun! Qi Baoping said with a smile.

Shen Mengxi didn't believe it.
