Zhou Bin was sitting in the yard, daydreaming, when suddenly the door rang and a small figure walked in.

She lowered her head, looking lonely, as if she had no strength left in her body.

She raised her head, looked blankly at the yard, and was stunned for a moment.

When Zhou Bin saw that it was Xiaohua who came back, he stood up quickly.

He shouted with a smile: "Xiaohua, are you done with school?"

Xiaohua was stunned for a while, then suddenly screamed: "Dad! It's really Dad!"

As she said this, she cried and threw herself into Zhou Bin's arms.

Zhou Bin lovingly held Xiaohua in his arms, stroked her hair gently, and said, "Xiaohua, Daddy is back."

Xiaohua's face was all red from crying. She wiped her face, raised her head and stared at her father blankly. After a long while, she said, "Dad, are you okay?"

Zhou Bin smiled and said, "Dad is fine now. Look, isn't he fine?"

Xiaohua couldn't believe her eyes. She looked at Zhou Bin carefully again and then shouted, "Dad, you're really okay! Xiaohua is so happy!"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but jump up, and her face turned into a flower.

Looking at his daughter's cheerful appearance, Zhou Bin thought to himself that he couldn't let anything happen to him again.

If I were gone, Xiaohua and Li Nan would be so sad and pitiful!

Xiaohua shouted at the top of her voice: "Mom, Dad is back, come quickly!"

Li Nan heard Xiaohua's call and came out of the kitchen with a smile: "Xiaohua, go put your schoolbag down and wash your hands. We'll have dinner later."

Xiaohua was still very excited: "Mom, I told you that Dad will be fine. You didn't believe it yet. Do you believe it now?"

Li Nan smiled and said, "I believe it. I believe everything our Xiaohua says."

Xiaohua held Zhou Bin's hand affectionately and was reluctant to leave. Zhou Bin advised her to wash her hands quickly as it was time to eat.

After Zhou Bin's persuasion, Xiaohua reluctantly turned around and went to wash her hands.

At this time, Zhou Jianming came back from outside with a smile, holding a bottle of Xifeng in his hand, and said with a smile: "Binbin, drink with dad later."

Zhou Bin stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Dad, you sit down first, I'll serve us the dishes."

By this time the food was ready, and Zhou Bin and Li Nan brought it up together.

The family sat together, full of happiness and excitement. Zhou Bin poured his father's glass of wine, poured soda for Li Nan and Xiaohua, and finally poured himself some wine.

Several people raised their glasses together to celebrate Zhou Bin's safe return.

Then everyone started eating with great enthusiasm. They had hardly eaten since yesterday and were all starving.

So the whole family started to eat up the food without even talking.

Just like that, laughter and joy reappeared in Zhou Bin's home, and the family's laughter once again echoed over the yard.

On the third day, the people invited by the township arrived. Zhou Bin, Zhou Defu, Aniu, Li Jun and Liu Junyi accompanied them to find the causes of the coal pit collapse and water flooding.

Several people came to the front of the cave, at which time the water in the cave had receded a lot.

Only then did everyone see clearly that the holes that had been dug previously had collapsed, and there was a pool of black sewage inside.

Then several people surrounded the coal pit and took a closer look. When they walked to the east side of the coal pit, a deep hole suddenly appeared in front of them.

This stunned the county experts, who then began a careful investigation.

Zhou Bin was also very curious. How come he didn't know that there was such a deep cave here?

Zhou Defu and Liu Junyi were also very curious, as they had never discovered the entrance to the cave.

When everyone got closer to take a look, they saw that the cave was also full of black water.

What is going on? No one knows the reason.

After the expert looked around carefully, he had some idea in his mind.

He told everyone seriously that this deep hole seemed to have been dug recently.

Because the hole was very close to Zhou Bin's coal pit and it was dug to the riverside, river water flowed in.

Gradually, the river water softened the surrounding cave walls.

They were unaware of the situation in the coal pit and were just digging coal. They accidentally dug open the thin wall of the cave and the river water poured in. This was the cause of the collapse of Zhou Bin Coal Mine.

As for how Zhou Bin fell into the river, he was washed directly into the river through this deep hole.

After listening to him, everyone was amazed. He is indeed an expert. He is so amazing. Now everyone understands.

However, Zhou Bin was still a little confused. How could a deep hole appear here out of nowhere?

Could it be that their people dug it out randomly nearby?

So Zhou Bin turned around and asked everyone, and everyone said that they had never seen this hole and no one had ever dug it.

When Zhou Bin saw that everyone said they didn't know, he stopped asking.

When he returned to the village, Zhou Bin asked other people, and they all said that no one had ever dug this hole.

Zhou Bin shook his head. It seemed that this matter could not be figured out for the time being.

After the experts found the cause, they left, and this deep hole became an unsolved case.

And just like that, a week passed.

This incident gradually passed. Due to the coal pit collapse, everyone had to go back to work in the fields.

Zhou Bin thought, we can't just sit there and wait! We have to find a way for everyone to make a living.

He immediately thought of planting apples. It was spring now, and if he didn't plant them now, it would be too late.

So Zhou Bin called everyone together and invited the village chief Zhou Defu to introduce to everyone the benefits of planting apple trees.

He enthusiastically invited everyone to plant apple trees in the fields, but everyone had only grown wheat before and had never grown apples, so they were a little hesitant.
