Shi Xiaoyuan shook his head helplessly. It was all his fault for talking nonsense and making his partner unhappy. No wonder his parents always said that he was good in other aspects except that his mouth often caused trouble.
As usual, the two men transported the soil to the bottom of the dam. Just as they were about to pour it out, they heard a group of people screaming. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw that it was Lu Genggeng holding a bug in his hand and scaring a few girls.
Shi Xiaoyuan curled his lips and said, "Compared to you, your younger brother is like heaven and earth."
Lu Chengcheng ignored his compliments and worked silently.
Suddenly, a girl screamed, "Oh my God, a mouse!"
Lu Chengcheng was shocked and saw a fat rat coming out of a hole. However, it was obviously frightened by so many people and ran towards Lu Fangfang in a panic.
Lu Fangfang had been spoiled since she was a child and had never seen such a dirty thing as a mouse. When she saw the mouse running towards her, she was so scared that she screamed and hid to the side.
Coincidentally, when Lu Fangfang dodged to the side, she bumped into her brother. Lu Genggeng was leaning over to scare the girl, and was hit hard by his sister. He suddenly lost his balance, slipped, and fell forward.
Seeing that Lu Genggeng was unable to stop and was about to fall from the top of the dam, Shi Xiaoyuan rushed out and used his body to block Lu Genggeng's forward momentum, and they both fell to the ground.
"Ah—" Lu Genggeng screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
Everyone was startled and rushed over to help them up. Shi Xiaoyuan stood up by himself, but when others moved Lu Genggeng, he screamed.
"My legs! They hurt so much!"
Only then did Lu Chengcheng notice that there was a large rock next to his leg. It seemed that when he fell just now, his leg hit the rock and he was obviously injured.
Shi Xiaoyuan said to Lu Chengcheng, "Student Lu, go and inform your father immediately. I'll help him check what's wrong with his leg."
"Okay." Lu Chengcheng turned his head to look at Lu Lu Fangfang, who was already scared silly, and nodded in agreement.
Without saying a word, Lu Chengcheng threw down the shovel in his hand and ran to the bottom of the dam. At this time, the cadres had already heard the movement on the top of the dam, but they didn't know what was going on, so they all looked up at the top of the dam.
"Dad, Dad, Geng Geng fell and got hurt."
Lu Chengyi was swinging his digging hammer to dig the ground. He was startled by Lu Chengcheng's shout and the hammer almost hit his feet.
"Chengcheng, what happened?" Lu Chengyi felt a sinking feeling in his heart when he saw his daughter running with sweat all over her forehead and a panicked look on her face.
When Wei Lingcheng heard Lu Chengcheng shout, he immediately dropped his hoe and said to Lu Chengyi, "Old Lu, I'll go up with you to take a look."
Lu Chengyi threw down his hoe and rushed to the top of the dam without saying a word. Lu Chengcheng was really exhausted from running, so he held his knees with his hands and gasped for breath.
After a long time, she managed to stand up straight and walked back along the slope.
On the top of the dam, Lu Genggeng was crying and making a fuss in pain. Everyone was so scared that they hid aside and said nothing, making her cries seem even more harsh.
Wei Lingcheng and Lu Chengyi, who had run up earlier, had long since disappeared.
When Lu Chengcheng saw Xiao Yuan with his arms crossed over his chest, looking at Lu Genggeng with disdain, he quickly walked over and asked, "What happened to my brother?"
"It's nothing, just a bump, your leg isn't broken. If it were you, you would probably be able to stand up on your own. A boy should grit his teeth and endure it even if it hurts. Why are you here screaming and howling? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"How do you know my brother's leg isn't broken?" Lu Chengcheng asked curiously, "Are you a medical student?"
"Yes, I graduated from the Clinical Department of the National Medical University of Country X. I knew his leg was fine the moment I touched it. Yet you're making such a fuss here, crying like your leg was sawed off."
Shi Xiaoyuan was clearly very unhappy with Lu Genggeng. "I told him he was fine, but your sister scolded me, telling me to stop pretending to know. Are you kidding me? I'm a medical student. If I can't even tell if a bone is broken, then all my eight years of medical school must have been wasted."
"Where's my dad? Didn't he come up a long time ago?"
"Two people came. Which one is your father?" Shi Xiaoyuan didn't seem to know Wei Lingcheng and Lu Chengyi. "From what they said, it seems they are going to the headquarters to call for a car to take your brother to the hospital, and also take us kids back."
Lu Chengcheng hadn't expected him to be a returned overseas student. He looked young, yet he had studied abroad. She had never heard her father mention anyone in the company whose children were abroad, so she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Whose family member are you?"
"I'm not a relative of anyone. I just passed by there this morning and saw a group of people gathered there. I heard they were working at the dam, so I got curious and came here too."
When Lu Chengcheng heard him say this, she immediately understood that he was unwilling to reveal his true identity. Although they worked as partners, they were not familiar with each other after all. Since he was unwilling to say, she did not ask too much and just nodded.
Lu Chengyi and Wei Lingcheng returned soon. Seeing Lu Genggeng crying so hard, Wei Lingcheng couldn't help but curl his lips and said to Lu Chengyi, "Old Lu, you stay and take care of your son. When the car arrives, take him to the hospital."
Lu Chengyi glared at his son, who was sitting on the ground wailing, and said to Wei Lingcheng apologetically, "I'm sorry for causing trouble to the leader."
"It's okay. It's my fault for not thinking carefully. I shouldn't have brought these children with me on such a heavy job. Okay, the car will be here soon. You can count the number of people and take the children back with you."
Wei Lingcheng patted his shoulder and turned away.
Lu Chengyi squatted down and looked impatiently at Lu Genggeng, whose voice was almost hoarse.
This naughty kid not only didn't work when he came here, but also played on the top of the dam and caused such a big mess. He looked so weak. His leg was just hit, and the bone was fine. But he kept crying and howling. If you didn't know, you would think he had a serious accident.
The face that Lu Chengcheng had earned for him was completely lost by him again.
But he is his own son after all, it would be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry for him. Seeing him crying so pitifully, Lu Chengyi couldn't say much.
Everyone was tormented by Lu Genggeng's crying and wailing for almost an hour. The car finally arrived. With the help of several boys, Lu Genggeng was finally helped into the car. Everyone got in one by one. Lu Chengyi counted the number of people to make sure they were all there. The truck bumped along and took everyone back to the front of the agency compound.
There was a hospital diagonally across the compound. Lu Chengyi carried Lu Genggeng on his back, while Lu Chengcheng and Lu Fangfang took care of her. The four of them came to the hospital together.
Lu Chengcheng went to the emergency room. The doctor who saw him was in his fifties. Lu Genggeng rolled up his trouser legs, and the doctor gently touched his leg. He frowned and shook his head, "It's just a bruise, so minor, is it worth going to the emergency room?"
