Li Wenhui smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of them."
Chen Jianguo nodded, and everyone went back with a heavy heart.
Jiang Wan bought a lot of supplements for the children, and she cried all the way back.
When she was a child, her grandmother and her great-grandmother said that she was a lucky child.
Her parents came back from the battlefield. Some children either lost their father or their mother, but her parents both came back alive.
Jiang Wan will also go back to school tomorrow. This summer vacation is a sad one for her.
Early the next morning, she set out for the provincial capital.
Li Wenhui looked at the stranger's house and the familiar furniture and couldn't sleep that night.
On the first day of school, the sun was very strong for two days. Li Wenhui adjusted her mindset and started teaching the children.
In the past few days, the school has repeatedly reminded the children not to go swimming in the river.
It is easiest to happen during a summer vacation or the beginning of a school year.
But no matter how much you remind me, I still have to do it.
After class that afternoon, Li Wenhui prepared dinner for her three children.
After Feng Daqiang left, the children didn't eat well, so Li Wenhui made them cold noodles in the evening.
Soon, two children came running out of the yard.
"Teacher Li, Teacher Li, Yadan and Niu went to play by the river, and both of them fell into the river."
When Li Wenhui heard this, her mind went blank.
Lin Wenbin lived next door. Li Wenhui ran over to take a look and then she remembered that Lin Wenbin had gone to the back mountain to carry firewood.
There are only two of them in the whole school.
She told the three children, "Xueqin, take good care of your brother and sister. Eat first, mom will be back soon.
You two, go to the back hill to look for Teacher Lin. I'll go to the river to take a look."
The two children were almost crying and ran towards the back mountain.
Li Wenhui walked out of the school's big iron gate and suddenly remembered that she couldn't swim and couldn't save people blindly.
She saw a bamboo pole standing next to the courtyard wall, and she ran towards the river while holding the pole and shouting for help.
Logically speaking, the sun is about to set at this time, and there should be people walking by the river.
Perhaps, by the time she rushed over, the children had already been rescued.
Li Wenhui ran all the way to the river, but it was as if she had seen a ghost. There was no one in sight, just a few crying children squatting by the river.
When Li Wenhui ran over, this was the place where the river turned. The water was deeper in this place. The two children were naked and were already floating.
Li Wenhui could not care less and yelled to the children next to her: "Stand back, be careful not to fall."
As she spoke, she stretched out the bamboo pole in her hand towards the two children. She wanted to push the child to the shore.
What she didn't know was that where the river turned, the channel became narrow, the flow slowed down, and the water surface looked unusually calm, but in fact the bottom had long been washed away and the riverbed was full of silt.
At the bend, the river water rushes down and it is prone to collapse.
When she saw the child was about to reach the shore, she carefully took a step to the side. The soil under her feet suddenly became loose and collapsed, and she fell down.
What's worse is that another large piece of soil collapsed where the soil just collapsed.
Li Wenhui was pressed underneath.
She struggled desperately.
She can't die.
Can’t die…
If you die, what will happen to the children?
Perhaps, people can’t think so much before they die.
She only felt mud and water rushing into her mouth, her eyes went dark, and she couldn't breathe and her lungs were about to explode.
She is unwilling...
I'm not willing to accept this...
But, it seems like she has no chance...
She can't die...
Can’t die…
When the two children were looking for Lin Wenbin, when Lin Wenbin hurried over, the two children were still floating in the river, and there was a bamboo pole floating on the surface of the river.
Where is the shadow of Li Wenhui?
For a moment, Lin Wenbin panicked. He jumped down and pulled the two children to the shore.
Let the children on the shore go to the village to find someone.
By the way, the brigade was holding a meeting for all members that afternoon, so there was no one by the river.
When Chen Jianguo and his companions came back from the training ground and just passed through the small door, they saw villagers from the village in front standing at the bottom of the corridor, pacing back and forth anxiously.
Look at Chen Jianguo and others. This villager knows Chen Jianguo. A few years ago, their village was hit by a flood and this comrade saved the children in their village.
The villagers rushed forward and said anxiously: "Comrade, the military wife in the school is out..."
Boom boom
Chen Jianguo, Zhang Qingdong and others felt as if they were struck by lightning.
After several people asked about the situation, Zhang Qingdong turned around and went to Political Commissar Zhou to get the car keys.
Chen Jianguo, Jiang Dahai and a few others ran towards the gate of the compound.
Feng Xueqin, her younger brother and sister, didn't even touch the noodles on the table.
Feng Xueyan was scared.
It was the beginning of the hottest days of summer, but the house was unusually quiet, which was terrifying.
Feng Xueqin was also afraid.
Feng Zhidong said: "Sister, why don't we go to the river and take a look. We can just watch from the side."
Feng Xueqin looked at her younger brothers and sisters' eager eyes, and she finally nodded.
The three siblings went out and locked the big iron gate. Feng Xueqin held her brother's left hand and her sister's right hand and walked towards the river.
Tian Wenjun was coming back from get off work and happened to see these three children when she passed by the intersection.
Feng Xueyan called out "Auntie Tian" in a soft voice.
Tian Wenjun got off her bicycle and asked with a smile, "Where are you three going?"
Feng Xueyan said in a childish voice: "We went to see Mom. Two children fell into the river, and Mom went to save them."
Tian Wenjun's heart skipped a beat. She looked towards the river and saw that there seemed to be a lot of people gathered there.
Before she could look away, she saw a military green off-road vehicle flying towards her from a distance.
Before the car stopped, Chen Jianguo and Zhang Qingdong jumped out of the car. He looked serious and quickly glanced at Tian Wenjun, then ran towards the shore.
Tian Wenjun became even more panicked.
She said to the three children, "Xueqin, take your brothers and sisters and wait for me in the car. I'll go take a look."
Feng Xueqin nodded and got in the car with her younger brother and sister.
When Tian Wenjun ran over, Chen Jianguo, with his bare chest, a rope tied around his waist, dived into the river.
On the shore, two children were covered with clothes, and the adults were slumped beside them, crying loudly.
The entire river seemed to exude a chilling desolation.
Zhang Qingdong and Jiang Dahai held the rope tightly in their hands. Chen Jianguo went down for two minutes and didn't find anyone. He emerged from the water, took a deep breath, and went down again.
The three children in the car were extremely anxious and finally could not wait any longer and appeared on the shore.
The villagers stood aside and discussed.
“Oh, what will happen to these three children in the future?
Dad is gone, and now Mom is probably drowned too. I don’t know if her body has been washed away.”
When Feng Xueyan heard this, she burst into tears.
"Mom...Mom, come back, where are you?
Don’t abandon us.”
Tian Wenjun was heartbroken when she heard the child's voice.
She quickly turned around and hugged Feng Xueyan in her arms.
She held back her tears and reached out to wipe Feng Xueyan's tears. Feng Xueqin and Feng Zhidong also burst into tears.
Soon, the river water gurgled and bubbled, and Li Wenhui's body floated up from the water. Then Chen Jianguo popped up, carefully put his arm around Li Wenhui's neck, and pulled her to the shore.
Seeing this, Tian Wenjun quickly reached out and covered Feng Xueyan and Feng Zhidong's eyes.
