The springboard has dozens of meters, all of them are flooded by the river, fortunately, there are iron railings on both sides of the springboard, so that people know the position of the springboard, and the springboard is very wide, very strong, it is a whole piece of steel plate, there is no situation that will step on the empty and fall in the river, but people step on the springboard that sinks into the river, the springboard trembles and trembles, and the people's hearts also tremble and tremble to the throat and eyes.

Tang Xiaofu had lived on the edge of the Yangtze River since she was a child in her previous life, and she was used to this kind of situation, but Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaolan would be afraid, and they would be afraid of every step.

Not only the two of them were afraid, but all outsiders were very afraid of walking this steel springboard, and a wave came over, and some people almost sat on the springboard.

Tang Xiaofu walked in the front and asked Xiaolan to pull her clothes, and then Fang Wenjing pulled one of Xiaolan's arms, and the mother and daughter waded forward like a string of insects.

Waiting for the ferry and looking at the frighteningly wide river, Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaolan's faces turned white.

The river roared forward, slapping the ferry vigorously from time to time, and the waves splashed into the boat, causing bursts of exclamations from passengers, and the ferry shook more than usual, but Tang Xiaofu knew that the boat would not capsize.

If the weather is really bad enough to sail the boat, the ferry company will stop it and will not joke with the lives of the passengers.

Some timid passengers have begun to lift their feet to open the small iron cabinet on the top of the cabin where the lifebuoys are placed, trying to take a lifebuoy in their hands to prevent it, but they find that it is empty, and their expressions are even more alarmed.

A quarter of an hour later, the ferry docked, and Tang Xiaofu, mother and daughter, picked up their things and got off the boat head to end, walked across the gangplank, and finally stepped on the ground.

Fang Wenjing didn't know whether she was scared or seasick, and vomited a mess.

Out of the ferry station, Tang Xiaofu looked left and right, after many days of heavy rain, there was not even a stall for tea, so she had to go to the store to buy a large enamel cup, and then cheekily asked a family for a cup of tap water for Fang Wenjing to rinse her mouth, and then went to the door of the division to see if her house was flooded.

Tang Xiaofu opened the door, and the cement floor at home was only a little damp, but there was no trace of water, and the mother and daughter were relieved.

The entrance of the division is very close to the Jiyu Bridge, and it is only two stops away, as long as you get to the Jiyu Bridge, it is not far from the experimental middle school, so the mother and daughter walked to it.

The terrain of the Jade Bridge is relatively low, so the more you go in the direction of the Jade Bridge, the more water will accumulate on the road, and when you reach the Jade Bridge, the water will reach your knees.

Tang Xiaofu and Tang Xiaolan rolled up the skirt slightly and pinched it with one hand, Fang Wenjing rolled the trouser leg to the knee, and the mother and daughter waded through the water to the experimental middle school under the leadership of Tang Xiaofu.

The school's freshman registration office is very lively, not to mention the flood, even the world's knives can't resist the enthusiasm of students and students' parents, no matter what era, it is not easy to be admitted to this key middle school, who does not cherish the opportunity to study here!

Tang Xiaofu took Xiaolan to sign up, high school is not compulsory teaching, so the tuition fee is a bit expensive, 20 yuan, and the accommodation fee is charged by semester, 5 yuan a semester.

When I signed up, I was divided into classes, and the classes were divided according to the results of the entrance examination, Tang Xiaolan's grades were not outstanding among the freshmen, and she was only assigned to the sixth class of high school.

Candidates' scores are graded from high to low to classes one to six.

Tang Xiaofu remembered that in her previous life, there were more than a dozen classes in a grade in this school, but now there are only six classes.

was assigned to the worst class, Tang Xiaolan was a little disappointed.

Tang Xiaofu comforted her, it would be good to be admitted, not to mention Yuhong Middle School, even in the entire county, there are very few students who can be admitted to the provincial capital to study in key middle schools.

"As long as you work hard and your grades come up, I think the teacher will transfer you to a key class." Tang Xiaofu said.

Tang Xiaolan nodded vigorously.

After registering and paying the accommodation fee, a teacher gave Tang Xiaolan a key with the dormitory number on it.

Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter all walked to the dormitory building with their things.

There are two dormitories, one for men and one for women.

Tang Xiaolan's dormitory building is in room 302, and when Tang Xiaolan entered, there were only two girls living in it, and the two girls were chatting excitedly in Wuhan dialect, indicating that they were both local girls.

When the two girls saw someone coming in, they both stopped talking and asked Tang Xiaolan enthusiastically if she was also a freshman and which class she was assigned to.

Tang Xiaolan replied in a low voice with a slight inferiority complex, she was assigned to class six.

The chubby girl didn't talk to Tang Xiaolan much anymore with a hint of contempt, and the other one was still very enthusiastic, saying that she was also in class six, and then several girls asked each other for their names.

Tang Xiaofu saw that they were talking endlessly, so he interrupted them and asked Tang Xiaolan which bed she wanted.

Fang Wenjing said that it is better to sleep on the bed below, and it is dangerous to sleep on the bed above for fear of falling from above when sleeping at night.

Tang Xiaofu looked at the upper bunk, there were also guardrails, but compared to the guardrails of the student dormitory in her previous life, it was fine in summer, and the bed was cushioned with cotton wool in winter, so such a low guardrail was the same as nothing.

So Tang Xiaofu obeyed Fang Wenjing and picked a lower bunk for Tang Xiaolan.

After settling Tang Xiaolan, it was noon, and the mother and daughter went to the cafeteria of Tang Xiaolan's school for a meal.

The school meals are okay, and the price is not expensive, Tang Xiaofu glanced at the price of the dishes, the most expensive meat dishes are only one dollar, and the rice is even cheaper, five cents and two taels.

After eating, Tang Xiaofu gave Tang Xiaolan thirty yuan for living expenses, and another ten yuan for pocket money.

Tang Xiaolan returned half of the money to Tang Xiaofu: "The living expenses are only fifteen yuan, and the monthly pocket money of five yuan is enough." ”

Tang Xiaofu pushed her hand back with the money: "You are growing up now, you have to eat better, don't be reluctant to pay money, we are not without money now." My mother and I are not with you, and if you have more pocket money, you will not have enough money to borrow when you need it urgently. ”

Fang Wenjing also persuaded her: "Listen to your sister, take all the money, you just need to study hard, don't worry about other things." ”

Tang Xiaolan accepted the money and put it away closely.

After eating, the mother and daughter returned to the door of the division and bought new toiletries, blankets, and the fragrance of hand rubbing, bee flower brand shampoo and conditioner, lunch boxes for cooking, boiling water bottles, and basins for washing faces and feet in the mall......

Then she returned to Tang Xiaolan's dormitory, put her things in place, Fang Wenjing said a few more words, and then reluctantly left with Xiaofu and returned to their home at the door of the division.

It was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and they couldn't catch the last long-distance bus, so Fang Wenjing and Tang Xiaofu decided to spend the night in the provincial capital and go back tomorrow.

Tang Xiaofu fried the peanuts at home and sent them to the neighbors together with Fang Wenjing, a total of more than a dozen.

When the neighbors received the fried peanuts, they all smiled like a flower, and after a few pleasantries, they unconsciously talked about the flood.

The neighbors were very glad that they lived in Simen, on high ground, and each flood rarely reached their homes.

The terrain of Xujiapeng is very low, and every time there is a flood, all the houses on the street will be flooded, and I heard that this year's flood has overflowed to the windows.

Tang Xiaofu's heart, which was originally distracted by signing up for Tang Xiaolan, became heavy again.

Those neighbors asked Tang Xiaofu if he couldn't open a food stall.

Tang Xiaofu hesitated and said that she really wanted to continue to open the food stalls, but she couldn't come when school was about to start.

A neighbor said that she had a relative who was a leader in the experimental middle school, and if Tang Xiaofu's grades were good enough, her relative would be able to transfer her to the experimental middle school to study, but she would borrow it, and she still had to go back to her hometown school to take the college entrance examination when she took the college entrance examination.

"How high is the quality of teaching in the experimental middle school, if you go to high school there, it is equivalent to entering the university on one leg, you think about it, if you want to get in, I will help you!" The neighbor said warmly and happily, Wuhan people are like this, if you meet his eyes, he is especially willing to help you.

Tang Xiaofu looked at Fang Wenjing, and when she saw that Fang Wenjing was silent, she said to the neighbor: "Thank you Auntie first, and wait until I go home and think about it." ”

Obviously, I thought that I had only chatted with my neighbors for a short time, but the time had reached half past five, and there were still eggs and pickles at home, so Tang Xiaofu cooked a little porridge, fried two eggs, and fried a bowl of pickles, and the mother and daughter ate them casually.

After dinner, Tang Xiaofu turned on the radio again to listen to the news, in which the female announcer was impassioned and enthusiastically told the glorious deeds of the soldiers on the front line of flood fighting.

The more Tang Xiaofu listened, the more uneasy she became, she wanted to turn it off but was reluctant, her hand continued to listen, and she finally listened to the news in the entanglement, which meant that the flood situation was grim.

There was really nothing to do, and at eight o'clock in the evening, the mother and daughter took a shower and prepared to go to bed.

A neighbor knocked on their door, Tang Xiaofu opened the door, and the neighbor smiled and said, "You go to bed so early, come to my house to watch TV!" ”

Tang Xiaofu was so surprised that her eyes were about to pop out, she thought that there was no TV in this era.

Fang Wenjing was embarrassed to disturb others, so she wanted to refuse, Tang Xiaofu was a little curious, and with a little distraction, she encouraged Fang Wenjing to go together.

The neighbor smiled and said, "There are not enough stools at home, so you bring your own stools." ”

So Tang Xiaofu's mother and daughter took a small folding stool to the neighbor's house, and the living room of the neighbor's house was full of neighbors, and there were not many people who could afford to buy a TV in that poor era.

And the TVs of that era were all black and white, which looked so small, but the picture was still quite clear.

News about the flood fight was also being broadcast on television.

Tang Xiaofu was originally distracted, but watching the heroic scenes of those soldiers struggling to fight the flood on TV, her mood became even heavier.

The people around him excitedly sighed about how hard the People's Liberation Army was fighting floods while watching the news, and Fang Wenjing also carefully exchanged a few words with those neighbors from time to time.

Tang Xiaofu put her elbows on her knees, held her face in both hands, and stared at the TV in silence.

Suddenly, her body stiffened, and her neck stretched out, was Leng Chenxu in the flashing shot just now?

So handsome, who else would he be!

Without a hat, the military uniform was wet and sticking to his body, I don't know if it was wet by the waves or soaked with sweat, and he walked in waist-deep water with a heavy sandbag on his shoulder.

Seeing that he was well, Tang Xiaofu was a little relieved, but she felt sorry for him, how tired she should be after so many days on the front line of flood fighting.

After the news is over, the movie "Tunnel War" will be played, how to say it, according to the eyes of modern people, the movie "Tunnel War" is a cool article, where our anti-Japanese war personnel fought and won, but in fact, China won extremely tragic victory against Japan back then.

It is not easy to resist the war, it is not easy to make peace, and it is not easy to fight floods.

Tang Xiaofu found that she had become sentimental and could do anything to fight the flood, so she couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Knowing that Leng Chenxu was safe, Tang Xiaofu's heavy mood became clear again, and when she came back from watching "Tunnel War" from her neighbor's house, when the mother and daughter were lying on the bed and sleeping, Tang Xiaofu was in the mood to discuss with Fang Wenjing her plan to come to the city to study in high school.

Fang Wenjing was silent for a long time, and finally said: "It's okay for you to come to Wuhan to study in high school, be a companion with your sister, and besides, the quality of teaching in the middle school in the city is high, and it will be easy for you to be admitted to university next year." After speaking, he sighed faintly.

Tang Xiaofu knew that Fang Wenjing actually didn't want her to come to Wuhan to study, so she seemed so hesitant.

Xiaolan came to Wuhan to study, she went to the city to study, and Fang Wenjing didn't have a single child by her side, so she would feel empty in her heart.

Tang Xiaofu turned over and faced Fang Wenjing lying on the bed: "Mom, we have a house in the city now, why don't you come to the city too, the three of us still live together, and we can continue to do business and make money, now that the autumn harvest is basically over, we have entered the farming season, and we are idle in the countryside, so it is better to come to the city to make a few dollars." ”

Tang Xiaofu knew what to say in order to move Fang Wenjing's heart.

Fang Wenjing was really a little tempted, but after thinking about it, he hesitated again: "We still have so many chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, pigs or something at home, let's go, what about those livestock?" ”

Tang Xiaofu smiled: "This is easy to do, take the big grandfather and grandmother over to help us look after the house, and raise those domestic animals by the way, we will give the money to the big grandfather and grandmother every month." ”

Fang Wenjing groaned: "I'm afraid your grandfather and grandmother won't ask for our money." ”

Tang Xiaofu thought about it for a while, and said: "Then just ask Wang Kui to help us look at the house, and we will give her money, the two families are not relatives, so it is easy to talk about money." ”

Fang Wenjing didn't want to be separated from her two daughters, and besides, Wang Kui's family was enthusiastic, helpful, and responsible, and there was nothing to do, so she was relieved to hand over the house and the domestic animals to them, so she nodded and agreed.

"Then how much money is it appropriate for us to give you Wang Kui every month?" Fang Wenjing asked.
