On the last big day off before the college entrance examination, Ye Xiaoxiao also returned to Baishi Village with her two brothers.

After Ye Changyuan returned to the village, he went straight to his home, waving as he ran.

"I'll come see you later."

Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Changyuan continued walking towards home.

When I returned home this time, Ye Changqing happened to be at home.

It's rare for them to meet each other.

Ye Changsheng: "Brother, you are back from the mine."

Ye Changqing invited his younger brother and sister into the house, "Yes, I'm not going to go to the mine again this time."

Ye Changsheng asked: "Brother, is there something wrong with the mine?"

Ye Changqing sighed, with worry between his brows: "A few days ago, I found some anomalies in the mine. After reporting to the leaders above, there has been no feedback. It's too unsafe, so I came back first."

When Ye Changqing was in school, he liked to read books about ores and mining.

Later, when I was in the army, I was assigned to the engineering corps, where I came into contact with some big names in surveying and engineering, and learned a lot.

In short, the mining area is not safe anymore. Before he came back, he told the people close to him about the problems in the mining area and gave them only advice.

But most people are reluctant to leave, after all, this is a job that supports their families.

And Ye Changsheng did not publicize it widely, otherwise he would go to jail for spreading rumors.

Ye Changsheng frowned: "Isn't that very dangerous? It's a real disaster that will destroy several families."

Ye Changqing: "I hope the rain won't be so frequent this summer. As long as there isn't a heavy rain, it'll be fine."

Miao Cuifang was teaching Ye Baocheng how to write calligraphy in the room. The child's wrists were weak, and a few words were written crookedly.

Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao and the others coming back, Miao Cuifang immediately went to work to prepare the meal she would cook later.

"Xiaoxiao, your father and I have discussed this. When you take the college entrance examination, I will stay with you for a few days and help you cook and so on."

If the three children were living in the school dormitory, Miao Cuifang would not have such an idea. But now they are renting a house outside, and their home is spacious and can accommodate more people, so it is reasonable for her to propose this idea.

Ye Xiaoxiao nodded: "Okay, okay."

It's just the right time to buy the sewing machine.

When Miao Cuifang saw that Ye Xiaoxiao agreed, she immediately smiled and said, "Go back to the house and sit down. Mother will cook for you."

Ye Xiaoxiao went to see Ye Baocheng practicing calligraphy. His handwriting was crooked, but the calligraphy that Miao Cuifang gave him was smooth and flowing, with the style of Yan Jin and Liu Gu.

"Where did you find this calligraphy?"

Ye Xiaoxiao thought the handwriting didn't look like Grandma Miao's.

Ye Changsheng picked up the paper and took a look. "This is my mother's handwriting. She is not only good at calligraphy, but also good at painting. Women in the village all come to her to ask her to draw patterns for their insoles."

Ye Xiaoxiao sighed in her heart that Miao Cuifang was really wasting her talents and talents in the village.

With this level of calligraphy, she could have opened a calligraphy class at her age.

Yes, I can paint, and Chinese painting is also very popular.

Ye Baocheng sat in Ye Changsheng's arms, "Uncle, I don't want to write. Can you take me out to play?"

Ye Changqing picked him up and held him in his arms: "Your uncle is usually very tired from studying, why is he still trying to coax you now?"

Ye Baocheng tilted his little face up and said, "But I miss my uncle so much."

Ye Changsheng looked at the situation outside and said, "Then uncle will take you to the river to play."

In the hot summer, the children in the village would go to the river to catch fish and shrimps, but their parents would not allow them to play in deep water.

Ye Baocheng was young and was never allowed to go on his own.

Now if someone is willing to take him out to play, he will immediately shout happily: "Okay! Let's go fishing."

When Ye Xiaoxiao came to Baishi Village, it was covered with ice and snow. When the grass and trees were lush, she seldom came back. She only knew that the river in the village was very wide, with several branches entering the village, which became a creek for the villagers to wash clothes and vegetables.

It was still early, so Ye Xiaoxiao, Ye Changsheng and Ye Baocheng went to the river.

There were some half-grown kids fishing by the river, with half their bodies submerged in the water. Occasionally, they would raise their hands and find a small fish the size of a palm in their hands.

“There really are fish.”

Ye Xiaoxiao also squatted by the river, but could see nothing.

Ye Baocheng clenched his fist and said, "Aunt, there are not only fish, but also shrimps."

Ye Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to teach him a lesson: "Then why don't you go play in the river? Be careful that the river water will wash you away."

Ye Baocheng: "I'm not going. Grandpa said only fools go to places with fast-flowing water. Aunt, what do you mean by fast-flowing water?"

Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”

Ye Changsheng took off Ye Baocheng's shoes and took him to play in the shallow water near the shore.

After a while, 껗游 didn't know what happened, and many young people in the village ran over there.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry...it seems like someone jumped into the river at the bridge."

"The water on the bridge is so deep, whose child is this?"

Some young men and some women carrying basins of laundry all ran angrily toward the bridgehead.

Ye Xiaoxiao also looked over there, having no idea what they were talking about.

Ye Changsheng brought Ye Baocheng over, "Let's go over and take a look."

By the time they reached the bridge, the people in the river had been rescued.

It turned out to be Zhang Erni, who hadn't been to class for many days.

"Er Ni, wake up and don't scare your mother."

"Er Ni!"

Wang Meili lay on top of Zhang Erni and shook desperately.

The people watching nearby were also talking about it.

"How could it be Zhang Erni? Her family was living such a good life, but she was so depressed that she jumped into the river."

"Does it really have anything to do with the Li family? I heard that the forest farm is not allowed to cut down trees. They say it is to protect the forest. It seems that the Li family does not intend to recognize the marriage with the Zhang family."

"Why don't the Li family keep their word? Isn't this embarrassing?"

"They are planning to move their whole family to the city. Who cares about our relatives in the remote countryside?"

Ye Xiaoxiao pushed through the crowd and saw Zhang Erni lying there, but no one was giving her first aid.

"Stop crying, get out of the way, if you delay me any further, I'll be in trouble."

Ye Xiaoxiao pulled Wang Meili away and squatted down to perform CPR on Zhang Erni.

A sound of "Wow".

Zhang Erni leaned over and spit out a mouthful of water, then started coughing violently.

"Er Ni, you're okay now, I'm glad you're okay, but I was scared to death."

Wang Meili still felt sorry for her daughter, so she hugged Zhang Erni and cried loudly.

After she finished crying, she began to curse Li Deshu's family, "Don't worry, Erni, I will definitely seek justice for you."

Zhang Erni's eldest brother stood aside at a loss, "Mom, take our little sister home first."

Zhang Erni was rescued from the water, her body soaked.

Summer clothes are thin and stick to the body when wet.

After all, she is a lady of wealth, and this really doesn't look good.

Wang Meili hugged the person and said, "Be obedient, Ni. Let's go home first."
