Chapter 404 Flood
Diao Yulian kept everyone in suspense before speaking: "I saw Jia Zhenzhen driving a taxi on Qianmen Street yesterday!"
Zhang Dazui pressed the issue, "Is he driving a red Xiali or a yellow van?"
"Red Charlie."
Diao Yulian was very sure that she had very good eyesight and would definitely not be wrong.
Gao Xiulan was a little puzzled: "Didn't you say you were selling newspapers on a bicycle?"
I heard Caixia mention it before. After Jia Yuhe's death, Jia Zhenzhen's house in Yingtaogou was burned down in a fire.
He has always been single and has a bad reputation in the village.
Due to the propaganda of Fan Qi Gu and Cai Ba Po, Jia Zhenzhen had difficulty finding a partner within a ten-mile radius.
There was a man who was not afraid of death. His wife had died, and a man with several dependents came over and wanted to live with him, but his behavior was not very decent.
Jia Zhenzhen kicked the man's balls to pieces, patted her butt, packed up her bedding and ran away.
Jin Qiaofeng also admired her: "She is really capable. Driving a taxi is quite profitable."
Gao Xiulan stood up and massaged her shoulders.
"She's alone now, earning her own money and spending it herself. Maybe she's more comfortable than when she was with Jia Yuhe."
Yu Afen sighed: "Such a good person, but she has such a mother!"
She is also a mother, and she really doesn't understand why Jia Yuhe would treat her own daughter like this and completely brainwash her.
Zhang Dazui curled his lips and said, "It's their choice. There's no point in saying more.
The mother and daughter are both willing to fight and be beaten."
Guan Nana hurried out of the courtyard: "Mom, have you seen our Mingzhu?"
Diao Yulian was horrified: "No, isn't he at home?"
"I woke up and I wasn't in the bed."
Guan Nana scratched her hair. Wangfujing Commercial Street was undergoing renovation this summer, and her women's clothing store was closed.
Mingzhu is only four years old, but she loves to jump around everywhere and has a tanned skin.
If you don't keep an eye on it, the little short legs will run off to who knows where.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law live together and see each other all day long, so some friction is inevitable.
It was common for the two of them to have conflicts and quarrel in the west room.
When the two men, Wu Shengli and Wu Jiabao, came back, they were dragged in and beaten up before they even touched the bench.
Wu Jiabao always complains to Xie Yi: When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fight, the man suffers.
Diao Yulian was about to start cursing when she caught a glimpse of Guan Lamei coming out and swallowed the words back.
I could only complain quietly: "It's okay, maybe he fell asleep under the bed, let's go back and look for him."
"good."
The Wu family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurried in and searched the house.
Finally, Mingzhu was found sleeping soundly under the sofa, face down on the ground with her butt sticking up.
I picked the child up and spanked his little butt. Then the child's loud crying came from the west room again.
Gao Xiulan came back and sat in the main room. Even with the fan on, she felt the heat burning her face.
"It's so hot and humid today. The weather is abnormal. Is it going to rain heavily?"
"No one can say for sure."
Xie Da Jiao just came back from his third uncle's house. He officially retired in 1996 and received his pension on time every month, living a leisurely retirement life.
I get up in the morning and buy breakfast in the alley. After eating, I take my small stool and go to chat with Lao Zhou, Lao Xia and others.
By the way, I took advantage of the free fan and tea at the third uncle's house. Life was very comfortable.
Xie Yi, who works every day, often works overtime, and occasionally cancels his weekends off, feels extremely envious and wishes he could retire where he is.
When the weather is not so hot, he goes to the flower and bird market in Houhai with his hands behind his back.
A few days ago, I brought back a little turtle. Orange bought me a fish tank and placed it on the cabinet.
Gao Xiulan glanced at the black cat who had come back to drink water and asked, "Why is Zhima bald on the top of his head?"
"It must have been the little green bird from Uncle Three's family that pecked it."
Xiaolu is a parrot with a strand of emerald green hair in the middle of its head. Even at such a young age, he always speaks greetings to other people's parents.
The third uncle laughed and scolded the parrot for being naughty, pinched its mouth, and bought it back in his arms.
Before Gao Xiulan could finish worrying, it started raining the next afternoon, with intermittent thunderstorms.
The dark clouds rolled in, so close that it seemed as if you could touch them if you stood on the roof.
The rain fell heavily in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, and a strong smell of earth filled the air.
Lin Xiaotong had just started her summer vacation and had originally agreed to make an appointment with Xie Yi to go swimming at the gymnasium on the weekend.
The sky was not kind and heavy rain fell intermittently for several days. The yellow apricots on the apricot tree in front of the window fell to the ground.
The gaps between the bricks and tiles on the roof were washed clean by the rain. When the rain stopped and the sun came out, the roofs of every household were shining with golden light.
"Look, a rainbow."
As soon as Lin Xiaotong looked up, she saw the beautiful scenery after the rain.
Xie Yi was bending over to sweep the branches under the steps with a broom when he looked up and saw it.
"It really is, a double rainbow!"
I ran to the room, took out the camera, and took a few pictures.
He turned around and saw the calico cat Guoba, who had climbed up onto the cabinet and was reaching his claws into the fish tank, trying to fish out the little turtle.
The man and the cat fell in love with each other at first sight.
Lin Xiaotong took the camera and took a picture of Guoba's crime.
Guoba meowed, jumped off the cabinet, and ran away with his tail dragging.
When in doubt, the first thing to do is to pack up and run away.
She glanced at the clock on the wall and said, "It's almost evening. Mom and the others will be back soon. Let's cut some cucumber into strips and make some cold noodles."
Xie Yi rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll cut some shredded pork and stir-fry it."
The couple cooked dinner together in the kitchen, one cutting and the other frying.
The smell of rice soon came from the east room.
Gao Xiulan hurried back out the door: "Something terrible has happened! Several provinces and cities along the Yangtze River have experienced severe flooding. The water has even reached the roofs!"
Yang Shujuan poked her head out from the next room. "Is it that serious? Haven't you heard about it on the news?"
"Really! Xiaohui's sister-in-law married and moved to a town in Hunan Province.
In mid-June, heavy rains lasted for more than ten days, and the embankments collapsed.
Everyone nearby has moved to other places, and they just called to tell me after they settled down."
This flood was mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River Basin, during the rainy season, with excessive rainfall.
Natural reservoirs such as rivers are overloaded and cannot drain the influx of water in a timely manner.
The surface runoff and subsurface runoff cycle cannot keep up with the sustained rainfall.
The water rushed onto the shore, flooding farmland, collapsing houses, and breaking dams. Emergency situations occurred in many places and the disaster was serious.
Jin Qiaofeng came out from the front yard and asked, "Can I donate?"
I remember the last time such a big thing happened was the Phoenix earthquake.
Yu Afen heard the commotion and came out: "I guess the neighborhood office will mobilize everyone to donate in the next few days."
After Ma Baoguo retired, Xiao Hu took over.
Xie Da Jiao came back carrying a bench, and anyone who heard the news would be heartbroken.
"The People's Liberation Army must have gone there, and everything will be fine."
Lin Xiaotong comforted Gao Xiulan: "If you lose your home, you can rebuild it. As long as everyone is safe, that's all that matters."
Zhang Dazui couldn't bear it: "When I went to Phoenix before, I saw many PLA soldiers who were young men in their teens and early twenties. I hope they can be safe too."
In the summer of 1998, a severe flood touched the hearts of people across the country.
Upon hearing the news, 320,000 People's Liberation Army soldiers rushed to various disaster areas and launched a relay race against the flood.
Truckloads of sandbags were brought to the dam in an attempt to stem the rushing water.
Later, there were not enough sandbags, so the PLA soldiers jumped into the river half a person's height, holding hands and standing shoulder to shoulder, forming a human wall with their bodies.
When someone falls, someone else will immediately take his place.
Water is ruthless, but people are kind.
"Forget about losing your home. Just come up."
