Chapter 41: Overboard

Guo Xiang first took a turn in the living area, the whole living area is quite large, there is a four-story building, it should be the housing of the cadres mentioned by Li Chun.

There are two rows of single rooms on the side where Gu Zhennan lives, most of which are for small leaders or ordinary workers who are married but do not have enough positions.

There are also two rows of bungalows that are collective dormitories, which are for single ordinary workers.

There is also a large vacant land behind the building, where a lot of vegetables are planted, and it seems that some family members have cultivated it themselves, and they don't need to buy vegetables when they grow them, just buy meat and vegetables, and you can save a little money.

The cafeteria is located in the middle of a single bungalow and a building, and there is also a bathhouse, which is obviously more convenient for the cadres.

The oil wells are still far away and are largely invisible.

Li Chun said that it would take an hour to take the car.

Yes, the living area should not be too close to the oil area, there will be pollution.

Guo Xiang walked out along the vegetable field, walked a long way, and actually saw a lake.

The water of the lake is clear, and there is a large area of reeds on the edge of the lake.

It was the summer vacation, and several children were playing by the lake, splashing water and playing, laughing and laughing.

The sun is high, the reeds are full of green leaves, the wind blows, the green waves are surging, and a few egrets soar up.

Guo Xiang approached the reeds, smelling the fragrance of the reeds, the breeze was blowing, and the air was fresh, which was really refreshing.

Suddenly, Guo Xiang found a few wild duck eggs in the reeds, he was overjoyed, and was about to go over to pick them up, when suddenly there was a scream, "Help, come on, Brother Xiaopeng fell into the water!" ”

"Brother ...... Little Friends"

"Help......" cries were already sobbing.

Falling into the water? Aren't they just playing in the water? Is that...... Into deep water?

Guo Xiang's heart jumped, and he hurriedly ran out.

I saw a few children who were only five or six years old crying on the shore, and a boy of seven or eight years old was fluttering about ten meters from the shore, and he was about to sink.

Guo Xiang ran over quickly, jumped into the lake, paddled quickly with his hands and feet, and quickly swam over.

hugged the child, the child was in a daze, and suddenly got a life-saving straw, and hugged Guo Xiang with both hands.

Guo Xiang's hand was so hugged by him that he couldn't paddle the water, and shouted loudly, "Little friend, little friend, relax, my sister is here to save you, you are saved, don't be afraid ......"

When the child opened his eyes, he saw that he had come out of the water, and a good-looking sister hugged him, and cried out with a "wow".

Guo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he should have just choked a few mouthfuls of water and scared, and the person was fine.

"Come, relax, let go of my sister's hand, my sister will swim you back, don't be afraid!" Guo Xiang said softly.

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......" The child nodded while sobbing, put one hand around Guo Xiang's neck, and let go of her arm with the other.

Guo Xiang picked up the child, paddled with one hand, and slowly swam to the shore.

"Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?"

"Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?"

"Brother ...... Little Friends"

Several children gathered around, their eyes still red.

Xiao Peng wiped his tears embarrassedly and shook his head, "I'm fine, don't worry, you can't die!" ”

"It scared me to death just now!" A little girl with two pigtails patted her chest and said in a coquettish voice.

"If Brother Xiaopeng drowns, my mother will definitely kill me!" Another boy said.

"Phew, you're drowning!" Xiao Peng took a sip.

"Then we can't come to the lake anymore? I still want to play. One child said worriedly.

Guo Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, a few bear children just had an accident, and the scar forgot the pain?

"How are you playing around by yourself? Don't have any adults with you? Guo Xiang asked.

"My parents won't let us play, saying it's dangerous, but I just learned to swim and want to try it, who knows, ......" Xiaopeng's voice gradually weakened.

It must have been the bear child who thought he could swim, so he swam deep, but he didn't expect that his skills were not up to par, and he almost drowned.

"Then you can't come by yourself, what if something happens? Like today, if I hadn't just come here, wouldn't you have drowned? Guo Xiang said solemnly.

"I was wrong......" Xiaopeng admitted his mistake quickly, so that Guo Xiang didn't know what to say.

"Sister, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, we would definitely be scolded to death by our parents." The little girl said.

"Thank you, sister!"

"Thank you, sister!"

The children were still very polite.

The little girl looked up at Guo Xiang with a look of adoration, "My sister is a great swimmer." ”

"yes, it's amazing, it swam over in one fell swoop, faster than a wild duck."

Guo Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of metaphor is this?

"Let's go home!" A boy said.

"Go, go, it'll be miserable when my parents know about it later!" The children chimed in.

"Sister, who are you? Why haven't we seen you? Are you from our oil team? Xiaopeng looked up and asked Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang shook his head, "I'm not, I'm here to visit relatives, I just arrived yesterday, of course you don't know me." ”

"Can you not tell my parents about today's events?" Xiaopeng looked at Guo Xiang pitifully.

This...... Guo Xiang really didn't dare to agree, if he didn't say it, what if the children didn't learn a lesson and came out to play next time, it wasn't as coincidental as today, what if something happened?

"Sister, please!"

"Sister, please!" Several children begged to get up, and their parents knew that they would inevitably be beaten.

Guo Xiang was thinking about how to answer, when he saw a woman running over in a panic, and seemed relieved to see a few children, but when he saw Xiaopeng and Guo Xiang all wet, his face sank, "How many of you went to play in the lake?" ”

"No, we're just ...... by the lake," one boy said hurriedly.

"By the lake? Who are you fooling? Xiaopeng's whole body is wet, you still dare to lie to me? Isn't it a thousand instructions that you can't go to the lake to play? Why are you so disobedient? ”

The woman roared loudly, grabbed the boy, twisted his body, pulled off his pants, and slapped it heavily on the ass, "You still dare to lie, I let you lie, I let you lie......"

"Mom, Mom, I won't dare next time!" The little boy screamed in fright, took the order and struggled, crying and screaming.

"There's another time!" The woman was so angry that she continued to shoot again, and the boy's little buttocks were red.

Guo Xiang couldn't stand it a little, "Sister-in-law, I have something to say!" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment and straightened up, "Are you?" ”

"Aunt Zhang, just now Brother Xiaopeng fell into the water, and it was this sister who saved him!" The little girl spoke.

"yes, yes, you almost scared us to death just now."

"Brother Xiaopeng almost died!"

A few children talked about it, Guo Xiang couldn't cry or laugh, he kept it secret just now, but now he has said it, it's still too young.

"Really? Thank you so much! Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said, seeing that Guo Xiang was wet, she also guessed something.

"Xiaopeng's parents asked me to take care of the children, and let them slip away without paying attention, if something really happens to the child, how do you say I will explain it to his parents!" Sister-in-law Zhang's eyes were red as she spoke, "Thank you so much!" ”

"It's fine!" Guo Xiang waved his hand.

"You're new to the Oil team? Why haven't I seen you before? Sister-in-law Zhang asked curiously.

"I'm not on the oil team...... I'm here to visit relatives, I just arrived yesterday, it's Gu Zhennan's ......" Guo Xiang didn't know what to say.

"Are you Deputy Gu's daughter-in-law? You're not ......," Sister-in-law Zhang didn't continue.

Fool, yes, it's me, Guo Xiang smiled bitterly.

I can't imagine that I am stupid.
