It seems that the whole kindergarten children are sick in an instant, not to mention all of them, the number of people is so large that the kindergarten needs to be closed for holidays, and when this hand, foot and mouth disease subsides, the children can come to school with peace of mind.

In the originally lively compound, except for the sound of birds and the occasional meow of cats and dogs, it was really quiet. The naughty children were staying at home to recuperate. Children who are not sick are afraid to go out to play, and it is safer to stay at home during this special period. Older children feel the heavy burden of schoolwork early on, and they rarely come out to play.

In the spring when a hundred flowers are in full bloom, I inadvertently found that the magnolia has begun to wither, and in a blink of an eye, cherry blossoms, bauhinia flowers, and purple-leaved peaches have bloomed. The flowering period is short, and it has withered before you have time to appreciate it. The scenery of spring may be vibrant, bright and colorful in the eyes of you and me, but in some people it is sad, falling red into bursts, and the wind is sad.

The year 1998 was destined to be an unfavorable year. The children spent a crisis-ridden April, and the adults took the children who had already gone crazy to have a happy 5.1, followed by the children's exclusive 6.1 Children's Day, the children's fairy tale dreamland just passed not long after, the days of peace and calm did not pass a few days, and in mid to late June, continuous heavy rain began, and the climate was abnormal. That's right, in 1998 the Yangtze River experienced another basin-wide flood since 1954. Children should have unleashed their nature to spend the whole summer vacation, but a natural and man-made disaster ruined the children's summer vacation, and how many people's shelters were destroyed by the flood.

(The flooding of the Yangtze River is a direct consequence of soil erosion caused by indiscriminate deforestation in the Yangtze River basin, and the indiscriminate occupation of rivers in the middle and lower reaches of the lake.) In the mid-50s, the upper reaches of the Yangtze River were 22 percent forested, and 80 percent of the forests on both sides of the Yangtze River were cut down due to ongoing agricultural land reclamation, factory construction and urbanization. Of the 193 counties in Sichuan Province, only 12 have more than 30% forest cover, and some counties have less than 3% forest cover. As a result, 20 percent of the 1.8 million square kilometers of land in the Yangtze River basin have suffered soil erosion, 2.4 billion tons of topsoil are lost every year, and more than 500 million tons of soil and sand carried from the upstream into the East China Sea every year flow down the Yangtze River. Due to the accumulation of soil and sand year after year, the riverbed of the Yangtze River has been raised above the ground since many years ago, becoming another "hanging river" after the Yellow River. The "clear water" of the Yangtze River has long been gone, and its "muddy yellow" degree can be "comparable" with the Yellow River. On the other hand, lakes in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are shrinking rapidly, with Dongting Lake shrinking from 4,350 square kilometers in 1949 to 2,145 square kilometers, Poyang Lake shrinking by one-fifth in 40 years, and hundreds of small and medium-sized lakes have disappeared from the map forever. All this is the reason for the flooding of the Yangtze River. - From the encyclopedia)

The old town of the whole county is in the east, the terrain is relatively high, the new city is in the southwest, the terrain is lower than the old city, the county magistrate mobilized the government departments to lead the masses to fill the key plug with sandbags, first the new city to do a good job of defense, and then to the old city.

Li Huihui also took her parents to her residence, after all, the suburbs are even more serious, the residential buildings near the river are empty, and the embankment of thousands of miles is destroyed in the anthill.

In July and August, people's hearts were heavy, and they all held a heart of prayer, praying that relatives and friends from afar could survive the disaster, and holding a grateful heart, grateful to the lovely soldiers, and the lovely soldiers of the people, who would always stand on the front line. Those who lived through the 1998 flood will never forget it, and many people may still remember it now.

Fortunately, the new urban area of H County has only been newly developed for a few years, so the population is also small, and the government began to actively evacuate the people on lower ground when it got the flood situation, although some old buildings and some self-built houses in the suburbs were washed away by the flood, and some public buildings such as station signs, park seats, Lin Weilan's favorite slide, and swings were all destroyed. These things can be built after they are lost, but the relatives, family members, and friends around them, these living lives are often fragile, but fortunately, a flood did not take the lives of anyone in H County, and the flood waters receded one after another at the end of August. People cheered up again, and everyone rolled up their sleeves to try to minimize the damage caused by this natural disaster.

In September, the children ushered in the new semester of kindergarten, because the whole summer vacation is basically spent in the rainy season, flood control, adults are busy and can not be opened, Lu Weizhong works in the grain station, and it is really a great thing to send a big water committee, although the thick and high flood control wall does not fall, but the whole grain station heard the report that the flood is very serious, once something goes wrong, there may be another great famine will be over. The staff of the entire grain station are guarded in shifts, and Lu Xusheng's mother Wang Juan also works at the grain station, and in order to take care of Lu Xusheng and Lu Weizhong are on duty alternately. After all, in a flood year, leaving a 4-year-old child at home is really uneasy. What Lu Xusheng can do at home during the summer vacation is to read books and learn English, and Lu Xusheng already has the consciousness of learning English at that time, which is really admirable. (Many years later, Lin Weilan asked Lu Xusheng what your IQ was, and Lu Xusheng's cold sentence was not high, just 160)

The most lovely thing is Lin Weilan, I didn't hear the children's stories in my heart, and I was forced by Li Huihui to follow my grandfather to learn calligraphy and Chinese painting, practicing calligraphy, which is a literati thing, so that a 4-year-old child can calm down and practice for 1 hour is really difficult.

But we, Lin Weilan, who can't wait to stop for a while, can spend 3 hours a day learning and practicing calligraphy with my grandfather, not that Lin Weilan suddenly became enlightened, just because Li Huihui's father had a very fierce face. So that Lin Weilan has been afraid of her grandfather since she was a child, in fact, children are often the most easily deceived by appearances when they are young, what Lin Weilan doesn't know is that her grandfather is actually a gentle and kind person inside, but a face is fierce, as for how fierce it is, give you an example, according to Lin Weilan's grandmother's recollection, one year Li got off the night shift, Li Shan went to pick up Li from work, although the two had been married for many years, but wherever they went, Li Shan led Li, so Li Shan is a gentle person, As a result, I encountered a robber on the road that night, and there were no street lights in the county at that time. The man who robbed came to meet the two of them, holding a flashlight in his hand to shine directly at the two, at that time Li Shan was so frightened that he even held Li's hand was trembling, but for some reason, the two had not reacted from the fright, and the robber apologized again and again, "Big brother, I was wrong, I didn't rob" After speaking, he turned around and ran away, Li looked at Li Shan sideways, and by the moonlit night, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, it was also good to look fierce, if he hadn't gotten along with Li Shan for a long time, otherwise he would have seen Li Shan's face clearly by the moonlight at this moment, It's really the beginning of a horror movie.

There was such a big natural disaster, Lin Jianhua as the secretary of the county party committee was very busy, once there was no good handling, no timely prevention, timely rescue, if something happened, he, the secretary of the county party committee, could not eat and walk, Lin Jianhua's heart was hanging during the entire flood season, and he could not be stable.

On the first day of school on September 1st, the children put on their school bags, how good it was to be innocent, and a group of children walked towards the rising sun. The early autumn sky looks so clean and thorough, the sunlight is a little less dazzling, the acacia trees in Aoyama Park, the bronze tree has begun to lose its leaves, and the opening ceremony that nature can give to children is those that look like flying leaves. Before landing, I still wanted to draw a beautiful end to my last days.

On the first Saturday of September, people from all walks of life spontaneously came to Lily Square, the largest square in H County, to light candles and present flowers to pray for those who lost their precious lives in the flood this time, and wished that everything would be well in the distance. It is said that in July and August, the telephone bill of every household is much higher than usual, because in the event of such a disaster, people contact distant relatives and friends as soon as they return to normal, report safety, report safety This kind of small thing may happen around us every day, a sentence I am fine, everything is fine, we are all safe, please rest assured, these simple words form a sentence like a reassuring pill to soothe the hearts of many people, so that how many tossing and turning nights can finally sleep peacefully.
