The ditch is a newly dug drainage canal in the village, and there is not much running water in normal times. It's just that a few days ago, there was a heavy rainstorm, and the water in the ditch swelled so deep that it was half a meter deep. After a burst of exclamation, the small dark red tricycle was turned upside down in the bubbling water.

Zhang Yuanchun got up from the muddy water in a panic and looked around blankly. Zhang Tanchun was half-lying in the water, and the flowing water was about to pass her mouth. But the youngest Zhang Xichun quietly disappeared, and he didn't know where he fell.

Zhang Yuanchun suddenly burst into tears in fright, his face full of panic. She hurriedly waded through the water, bypassed the tricycle that was upside down in the water, and hurriedly helped Zhang Tanchun up.

Zhang Tanchun's face was pale, and he was trembling all over his body, obviously overfrightened, and he couldn't say a word. Zhang Yuanchun hurriedly lifted the tricycle again, but found that there was no little sister Zhang Xichun under the tricycle. She searched carefully again, but still found no trace of Zhang Xichun.

When Zhang Yuanchun saw that he had lost his little sister, he was immediately overwhelmed with fright, and cried "wow". Zhang Tanchun saw his sister crying, and he also cried with Wow Wow.

The sisters' cries soon caught the attention of passers-by. Someone knew that this was the daughter of the Zhang family, so he hurriedly jumped into the ditch and pulled the two little girls up.

Lin Miaoxiang was changing Zhang Xiaohun's diaper, when she heard the fat aunt next door calling her name loudly at the gate, shouting that Yuanchun and Tanchun had fallen into the water.

When Lin Miaoxiang heard this, she was frightened. She hurriedly left Zhang Xiaohun who was lying on the bed, and didn't bother to say anything to Wei Chunhua, so she hurriedly ran out.

There were already good Samaritans who had helped push the dark red tricycle up. The two sisters, Zhang Yuanchun and Zhang Tanchun, stood aside in a daze and kept sobbing, covered with muddy water, and their hair was wet and scattered, looking embarrassed.

When Lin Miaoxiang saw it, her heart suddenly hurt. She hurriedly ran forward, reached out and held her two daughters in her arms, and asked what was going on.

As soon as Zhang Yuanchun saw his mother coming, he was so aggrieved that he cried. Zhang Tanchun sobbed and said intermittently: "Mom.. Mom, sister...... My sister is gone. ”

"What?" Lin Miaoxiang suddenly panicked. She shook Zhang Tanchun's shoulders vigorously and screamed, "Girl, what are you talking about?" What about your sister? ”

"Sister...... My sister is gone. Zhang Tanchun was so frightened by Lin Miaoxiang's reaction that he burst into tears.

Lin Miaoxiang suddenly seemed to be crazy, hurriedly turned around and jumped into the ditch, and called Zhang Xichun's name repeatedly. When everyone heard that a four-year-old girl had also fallen into the water, they all helped to find it.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "Come on, she's here." It turned out that Zhang Xichun was thrown into the rice field on the other side of the ditch when the tricycle rolled, and he had fainted.

Lin Miaoxiang crawled to Zhang Xichun's side, knelt on the ground and hugged Zhang Xichun in her arms. "Child, wake up, wake up......" Lin Miaoxiang shook Xiao Xichun in her arms vigorously, trying to wake her up.

Zhang Xichun's eyes were closed, her lips were purple, and her face was covered with muddy water. No matter how Lin Miaoxiang swayed, Zhang Xichun was motionless, as if he was asleep.

Lin Miaoxiang suddenly collapsed. She buried her head tightly on Zhang Xichun's body and began to cry. Everyone around also felt that the young girl in front of them woke up hopelessly, and couldn't help but sigh.

Who knew that at this moment, Zhang Xichun opened his eyes leisurely. She was dazed and saw her mother lying on top of her, sobbing in pain, and her face was dazed. She struggled to turn her head and look around before she called out to her mother weakly.

When everyone saw that the child woke up and was safe, they were all relieved, and their hanging hearts finally let go. Lin Miaoxiang also burst into tears and laughed, holding Zhang Xichun tightly in her arms, for fear that she would lose her.

In the evening, Zhang Longfei went home from work. When he heard about several children falling into the water, he was also nervous and afraid. When he wanted to criticize Zhang Yuanchun for not bringing his sister well, he saw Zhang Yuanchun standing to the side in a daze, hanging his head and saying nothing, as if he had made a big mistake.

Zhang Longfei knew that his eldest daughter had always been well-behaved and sensible, and he did his best to take care of his younger sister. Today she made such a mistake, it must have been a last resort. Zhang Longfei couldn't bear to blame Zhang Yuanchun too much, so he walked over gently.

"Girl, did you fall somewhere?"

Zhang Tanchun shook his head blankly and remained silent. She seemed ready to await her father's criticism, her hands clutching the hem of her shirt tightly and rubbing.

Zhang Longfei reached out and touched Zhang Yuanchun's head. "My sisters are still young and ignorant, so you, the elder sister, must think about it for them. Dad won't blame you for this today, you must pay attention to it in the future, okay? ”

Zhang Tanchun nodded vigorously, and the whole person seemed to be a lot more relaxed.

Zhang Longfei touched Zhang Yuanchun's head again and asked her to take her sisters to dinner first and rest early. Zhang Tanchun happily answered, and ran out of the house with Zhang Yingchun and Zhang Tanchun's two younger sisters.

Zhang Xichun's rag doll has been rinsed by Wei Chunhua and hung on a clothesline in the yard. A breeze blew, and the rag doll swayed.

Lin Miaoxiang was sitting on a stool combing Zhang Xichun's hair, her expression was blank, and her heart was heavy. Zhang Xichun obediently snuggled in her mother's arms, smiling, as if she had forgotten what happened at noon.

"Daddy." Zhang Xichun saw Zhang Longfei coming over at a glance, so he called softly.

Zhang Longfei did not respond. He walked straight to Zhang Xichun, squatted down, raised his hand and touched Zhang Xichun's head.

"Does it still hurt?" Zhang Longfei asked in a low voice.

"It doesn't hurt. The doll doesn't hurt either. Zhang Xichun replied in a milky voice. But my clothes are wet, and so are the doll's clothes. ”

Zhang Longfei laughed dryly, comforted Zhang Xichun softly, and asked her to comb her hair and go to dinner with her sisters.

After Lin Miaoxiang combed Zhang Xichun's hair, Zhang Xichun jumped out to find her sisters. Lin Miaoxiang held the wooden comb tightly with both hands, her eyebrows were tightly locked, and she stared at Zhang Xichun's back leisurely. When Zhang Longfei saw it, he also felt a pain in his heart, so he sat down next to Lin Miaoxiang.

"In a few days, the project over there will be over."

"Oh." Lin Miaoxiang just answered in a low voice, and there were no other words.

"I'll have time then. In fact, time flies quickly, this year starts, the three girls can also go to primary school, only the four girls and Xiaohun are left. Speaking of this, Zhang Longfei couldn't help but pause, and only after a while did he continue: "By the way, what about Xiao Hun? ”

"Her grandmother took her to bed."

"Oh." Zhang Longfei responded casually, and then fell into silence, without saying anything else.

In the room, Wei Chunhua stared blankly at Zhang Xiaohun, who was asleep, and her head was full of words of "little fairy". After a while, Wei Chunhua's face became full of sorrow again, tears couldn't help but flow, and her cloudy eyes were full of infinite despair and helplessness.

It was late at night. Lin Miaoxiang was still sleepy, and her heart was gloomy. She lay quietly in Zhang Longfei's arms, and her mind kept imagining what it would be like for her daughter to fall into the water.

"Husband, I'm so scared." Lin Miaoxiang's eyes were slightly closed, and her expression was gloomy.

Zhang Longfei raised his hand and gently rubbed Lin Miaoxiang's back, and responded softly: "I know." Don't be afraid, I've got you. ”

"It's all my fault. If I borrowed the car, I should return it myself, and I shouldn't let the child return the car. If the child hadn't returned the car, this wouldn't have happened. Lin Miaoxiang muttered, with a look of self-blame.

Zhang Longfei gently patted Lin Miaoxiang's back and said comfortingly: "How can I blame you for this?" If you want to blame me, you have to blame me. If I had the money to buy you a bike, you wouldn't have to go to other people's homes to borrow a bike. ”

Lin Miaoxiang sighed slightly and hugged Zhang Longfei tightly. "When I came back from Xiaowangzhuang today, I noticed that something was wrong with my mother. When I asked her, she didn't say anything, and when I got home, she was still silent and didn't say a word. ”

"My mom is probably tired. Her legs and feet are not good, and she hasn't rested well these days. She's getting older and less energetic than she used to be. Zhang Longfei speculated.

"Before leaving, the 'little fairy' called my mother aside, muttering that she didn't know what to say. Then I found out that my mom had become very lost. Lin Miaoxiang suddenly remembered the situation when she left Xiaowangzhuang.

"It's fine. Don't think about it. By the way, that little hun, did the 'little fairy' say anything? Zhang Longfei raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Xiaohun who was lying on the side. Zhang Xiao was dressed in shorts and shorts, facing the sky on his back, and fell asleep.

"I don't know. She asked me and my mom to stay outside, and then walked into the room with Xiaohun in her arms. It took about ten minutes before she came out with Xiao Hun in her arms. Husband, are you weird? Xiao Hun is very well-behaved in her arms, not crying or making trouble. Lin Miaoxiang frowned, puzzled.

"As long as he doesn't cry or make trouble tonight, it's Amitabha." Zhang Longfei opened his mouth and yawned heavily.

"And, husband. Her family actually has two big dogs, the big ones. The point is that the two big dogs are not fierce at all, nor do they bark. "Lin Miaoxiang has always been afraid of dogs, let alone the two huge yellow dogs.

Zhang Longfei's expression moved, and he said leisurely: "Haven't you heard that foxes and dogs are good friends?" ”

"Ah......" Lin Miaoxiang suddenly grew her mouth in surprise, raised her head and stared at Zhang Longfei. Could it be that the 'little fairy' is really a fox fairy? ”

"This kind of thing, as long as she doesn't admit it herself, no one can prove it. But it doesn't matter, as long as our son can sleep quietly tonight. Zhang Longfei raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Xiaohun again.

"Will he be okay?" Lin Miaoxiang also raised her eyes to look at Zhang Xiaohun, her expression gloomy.

"I think it will." As he spoke, Zhang Longfei turned sideways and hugged Lin Miaoxiang in his arms. "You're tired today, let's go to sleep first."

Lin Miaoxiang responded slightly. She drilled hard into Zhang Longfei's arms, clinging to his chest. It didn't take long for Lin Miaoxiang to fall asleep.
