Lin Shufen was writing to a crucial point when she suddenly heard her daughter crying. The tip of her pen pierced the paper, and she hurried over to check what happened.
What's going on? Are you having a nightmare? My daughter has never been like this at night. Even when she is hungry and wants to feed, she will just whimper and push her.
"Oh~ Tiantian, don't cry. What's wrong? Are you scared when you wake up and can't see your mother? Don't be afraid!"
She held her daughter in her arms and tried to comfort her, but it didn't work.
Chu Linyu kept crying and her voice became a little hoarse.
Lin Shufen also began to panic. The last time her daughter cried like this was when her husband’s house collapsed under the snow. Could it be that her husband was in danger again?
She kept her head down because she was worried about her daughter and didn't notice anything unusual outside the window.
Jia Chunhua was a light sleeper and vaguely heard some noise coming from the east room. Half asleep and half awake, she listened carefully - oh no, it was her little darling crying!
She quickly got off the kang and ran straight to the east room.
Halfway through the walk, I passed the door of the outer room and discovered something unusual.
Why is it so bright outside? She stopped and looked carefully - oh my god, her firewood pile is on fire. It's windy outside, and the flames are about to reach the window of Guodong's room!
"It's on fire! Put out the fire! Old man, Guodong, Honglian, wake up! Our house is on fire!"
While shouting anxiously, she picked up a basin, scooped a full basin of water from the water tank, and rushed out to put out the fire.
The people at home were awakened by her screams and found that the yard was on fire.
They woke up instantly and jumped up. They didn't even bother to put on thick clothes. They ran out wearing only autumn shirts and autumn pants to help put out the fire.
When Lin Shufen heard this, she quickly woke up Lin Zheng and ran away.
She didn't have time to put on her cotton jacket, but she did not forget to wrap her daughter tightly and ran out of the east room.
Jia Chunhua poured a basin of water on the fire, but it did not die down. Instead, the flames spread along with the water flow and burned to other parts of the yard.
"Oh my god, why can't this fire be put out?" Lin Feng shouted.
He and Lin Guodong and his wife were sleeping in the side room tonight. The side room was closest to the firewood pile and he was nearly burned by the flames when he left the room just now.
Jia Chunhua didn't think much about it, nor did she understand what was going on, and wanted to call people to go and scoop water together.
But Lin Jun stopped her: "Grandma, wait, smell it, is there a smell of motor oil?"
After hearing this, everyone stopped what they were doing and sniffed.
“Yes, it smells like organic oil!”
Lin Guodong worked in a spare parts factory and was very familiar with the smell of engine oil.
Then Lin Jun asked hurriedly: "Where is the sand or soil? You can't use water if the engine oil is on fire, you have to cover it with something non-flammable!"
sand? earth? Old man Lin remembered that the Sun family, who lived across the yard, were planning to build a small house recently and had stored a lot of sand and soil in the yard.
"The Sun family, the Sun family has it!"
Lin Qin acted quickly, assigning tasks quickly, and ran out with his men carrying baskets and shovels.
At this time, the neighbors who were nearby were also awakened by the noise from the Lin family and came out to check the situation.
"Oh my god, the Lin family is on fire, please help put out the fire."
"Hurry up!"
Neighbors came running over with basins and buckets of water.
Jia Chunhua quickly stopped him: "Hey, wait, you can't use water for this fire. There's oil in it. If the water flows all over the yard, the fire will follow the water. My grandson said we should use sand and soil!"
"Let's go find some sand!"
Lin Qin also instructed everyone not to panic and to cooperate well.
There is strength in numbers. It just so happened that the Sun family, who lived not far away, had some sand, so more than a dozen people came back and forth to carry the sand and cover the open fire.
With everyone's concerted efforts, the fire was finally put out. This chapter has been read (please click on the next chapter to continue reading!)
