The flood peak carried a large amount of sediment, dead branches and leaves, as well as the remains of countless animals and plants.
This makes the tide that first hits the embankment extremely turbid and dirty.
This tide is so turbid that even if you stand on the embankment, only two meters away from the flood, you can't see clearly the violent ups and downs and tumbling debris in the flood.
in this case,
The heads of the victims who were swept into the flood were like little black specks floating in the torrential flood.
These small heads are still spinning, floating, and mixed in countless other debris, making it impossible for people on the shore to distinguish clearly who is the victim who fell into the flood and who is not.
The dead branches of life?
At this time, Accountant Li and Chen Xiaobai, who were standing on the embankment and filled with anxiety, had thrown all the ropes in their hands into the water.
They were pinning their hopes on Luo Xuan and that girl being able to grab hold of one of the ropes in the torrential flood in order to get even the slightest chance of survival.
Unfortunately,
Everyone waited on the embankment for a long time. After the flood peak passed and the water level dropped several meters, there was no sign of Luo Xuan.
"Take Miss Huang Xuan back on your back."
Accountant Li sighed: "Luo Xuanfu has a great destiny, and the auspicious man has his own destiny. I believe he will return safely."
Return safely?
I'm afraid Accountant Li himself wouldn't believe it if he said this.
Chen Xiaobai, Jian Teng and others standing aside were speechless. They could only open their eyes silently and carefully watch the receding torrent. Everyone hoped that a miracle would happen.
"Plop——" a sound,
Li Li, the second among the three sisters, suddenly fell to her knees with empty eyes, looking at the turbid flood water and murmuring to herself: "Sister, please come back quickly. Without you, how can we live in the future?"
Our mother died early, and our father is missing now. Sister, you can't leave our sister behind. Come back quickly!
I know that in the past, sister, you have always allowed me to share any delicious food or pretty clothes with me secretly.
As long as you come back, sister, I will give you everything I have in the future, and I will treat all the good things as yours, sister."
"Plop——"
Li Na also knelt on the embankment, her big eyes that were originally very smart, now staring blankly at the receding flood water, and shouted in a low voice: "Sister, I can't live without you! Come back soon, sister."
The last time you celebrated your birthday, your uncle gave you the box of 'smooth cream'. In fact, I hid it and it was not the second sister who took it away.
I see that you are both so beautiful and big. I am actually very jealous of my sister and my second sister. I feel that only a woman like you can be considered a real woman. Sister, please come back quickly. I promise not to steal anything from you in the future.
Yeah, woo woo woo.”
Li Na's tears fell down like strings of broken pearls: "I know that I am not Han, and I look completely different from the girls around me. I really feel guilty.
So I usually pretend to be fierce and powerful, but actually I am afraid! I am afraid that my uncle will be taken away by them because of me;
I'm afraid that people around me will say that I'm a bastard. I'm even more afraid that someone will say that my motives are impure and that I'm an undercover agent.
Sister, I hid your cream on purpose last time. In fact, I was jealous! Sister, you are already so beautiful. Wouldn’t it be even more charming if you put on makeup? Sister, I was wrong. Come back quickly.
I won’t be naughty anymore, and I will never make trouble behind your back.”
Chen Xiaobai asked Aunt Bai Fugui, together with several other stronger aunts in the production team, to take turns carrying Huang Xuan back to rest.
After finishing this, Chen Xiaobai turned to Li Li and Li Na said: "Let's go, we can still remove the dam while the flood has receded.
The village is already crowded with people, so hurry up and go to Huang Xuan's cave dwelling to drink some hot porridge, take a rest, and take good care of Huang Xuan to prevent her from thinking wildly and doing anything irrational."
"I do not go!"
Li Na pursed her thin lips tightly, "I want to wait for you, my sister, here. As long as my sister doesn't come back for a day, I will wait here forever."
"Take away!"
Accountant Li was very irritated. Li Na was so patient and willful. "Hurry to the resettlement site for educated youths. There are dozens of people affected by the disaster in the courtyard over there. There are still a lot of messy things!"
Don't worry about anything. From now on, your two tasks are to cooperate with Bai Fugui's mother-in-law and take good care of Comrade Huang Xuan!"
Said,
Accountant Li's tone suddenly became extremely stern: "You must take good care of Comrade Huang Xuan and never let any accidents happen to her!
Even if Comrade Huang Xuan loses a hair, I can't spare you! Do you hear me?!"
Looking at Accountant Li, whose eyes were red and looking like a raging beast, Li Li was frightened!
"Leave quickly."
Chen Xiaobai picked up Li Li and pushed her toward the slope at the end of the embankment: "Get off the embankment from there, and then walk north. After exiting the village entrance, there is Luo Xuan and their educated youth resettlement site."
Li Li did not dare to speak, so she and her sister Li Na limped towards the direction Chen Xiaobai said.
The two sisters were not familiar with the environment, but fortunately from a distance, they could still see Huang Xuan and the others on the backs of Bai Fugui's mother-in-law.
Anyway, you can't go wrong by following them.
at the same time,
The girl named Erni, together with Ai Meili and others, had been taken to the village by the aunties from the Shilipu production team and placed in the homes of the commune members.
"Auntie, are there any young people in this village who haven't married a shameless wife?"
Ai Meili had a little plan in mind. She had just gone into the house to drink a bowl of millet porridge and wolfed down a yellow steamed bun.
He couldn't wait to drag an old aunt from the Shilipu production team and hid in the yard and asked: "Auntie, the land of my hometown production team has been completely destroyed and the houses have collapsed.
You know, in this case, even if I return to my original production team, I probably won’t be able to survive this spring famine. Auntie, can you help me?"
Before the old lady could react,
There was only a "pop" sound, and Ai Meili suddenly knelt in front of her and begged with tears in her eyes: "Auntie, please help me this time. From now on in the production team, you will be my mother-in-law.
My dearest and dearest relatives.
I will definitely honor you and serve you well, and I will take care of you till the end of your life."
At this time, the old lady finally understood what the handsome young daughter-in-law in front of her was thinking.
The old lady sighed, lovingly stretched out her hand to help Ai Meili up, and said softly: "Get up, woman, you can't kowtow to me."
There are not a few people who think like you nowadays.
In our production team, those young men who have not yet married are already being targeted by interested people, so there is no room for them!"
When Ai Meili heard this, she immediately felt that the little energy she had in her body had been drained away.
I felt dizzy and dizzy in my head, and suddenly there was no strength left in my body!
He escaped from death, and before he had time to rejoice, he had to face the huge test of how to survive in the future.
Fortunately, even if a woman is born in the wrong child, she still has a second choice: to get married.
If Ai Meili can smoothly marry a junior member of the Shilipu production team, then Ai Meili's settlement and food problems will be effectively solved in the future.
But now.
The wife's aunt in front of me is named Li. Her family is in the Shilipu production team and her status is very low.
In her family, she actually has a young son who has not yet married. Because Aunt Li's family is relatively poor, and their reputation among the production team is not very good.
So much so that the youngest son of Aunt Li's family has become one of the few in the Shilipu production team who has difficulty finding a wife.
However, with the influx of older girls into the Shilipu production team, more and more young daughters-in-law are left with no family and no one to rely on.
Now Aunt Li is qualified to pick and choose among these women and marry the best.
The reason why Aunt Li is at the bottom of the Shilipu production team can actually be seen from the place where she is assigned to work: just because now the Shilipu production team is fully mobilized, and everyone is busy rescuing people and fighting disasters.
And he had to be busy, cooking porridge for so many people rescued from the disaster, sewing cotton-padded clothes and other things.
Everyone is very busy, literally on their backs.
The men, women, and children in the production team were actually divided into several groups according to their own abilities and images: gay men, according to their physical fitness and water quality, were all sent to the Wuding River.
, busy rescuing those victims soaked in floods.
Among the women, the youngest and most beautiful ones, the young wives, work as cosmetics promoters in major department stores and daily chemical stores in Tuocheng.
It is also a good idea to earn high profits for the cosmetics factory of the Shilipu production team to increase the income of the production team.
besides,
In the Shilipu production team, the ones whose looks are second only to those of the cosmetics promoters are the eldest girls and young wives. Among them, those who have good image, decent style, nimble hands and feet, and are not afraid of hardship are the ones with the strongest ability to do things and the best personal image.
Those who work in batches work in the restaurant of the production team.
The remaining women in the production team, those who worked hard, had some brains, and had a decent image, were arranged by Accountant Li to help in the resettlement site for educated youth.
Because there were really too many people rescued this time.
The Shilipu production team is overcrowded everywhere and cannot be accommodated.
therefore,
On weekdays, even members of the production team could not easily set foot in the resettlement site for educated youth. At this time, about 30 men and women affected by the disaster were crowded in.
As for the aunts who are helping there, their leader is Bai Fugui's wife.
Only a simple and honest old lady like Aunt Li with no ability to do anything would be sent here to do odd jobs.
Seeing Ai Meili slumped on the ground, her face full of despair.
After all, Aunt Li couldn't bear it. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Woman, there is a brother in my natal family who has not married yet. Do you think he has a wife?"
"Auntie, your natal brother?"
Ai Meili's despairing eyes became a little more angry, but then they dimmed again: "Aunt, you are not too young, aren't you? Speaking of which, your brother from your mother's family is probably not too young either.
And, and aunt, I, I”
For a while, Ai Meili didn't know how to reject the other party: she only wanted to get married because she wanted to settle down in the Shilipu production team and establish a firm foothold.
But the other party is from this village after all. Even if Ai Meili has no interest in Aunt Li's bachelor brother, she does not dare to offend him easily, for fear that in the end she will lose even her last life-saving straw.
Aunt Li is honest and honest, but not stupid either.
Aunt Li could guess what was going on in the mind of this handsome young daughter-in-law who was 90% new in front of her.
She sighed slightly and tried to persuade Emily in a low voice: "Daughter, you are in a very difficult situation now. You know better than me.
My brother from my mother’s side, although he is a bit older and has one leg that is inconvenient, he is still the only child in my mother’s family.”
"After you marry him, my daughter, you will become my natal family."
Aunt Li started to argue: "At that time, our Shilipu production team's cosmetics factory, let you think of a way, talk to the production team cadres, and let you join as a worker! The wages in that factory,
That’s 17 bucks and 5 miles a month!”
Seeing the fire of hope flashing in Ai Meili's eyes, Aunt Li continued to encourage her: "You are handsome, and judging from your actions just now, Aunt Li can see that you are also a girl who can risk everything.
If you really have that ability, I can even go to the cadres of the production team and let you go to the cosmetics factory and the office in Tuocheng to be a promoter and work in a department store in the city!
Working there is easy and decent, and I heard that people who do a good job can get 32 yuan for one month's salary! Think about it, how decent will that make you live?"
"real?"
As soon as I heard that I could work in a factory or even in the city.
Ai Meili was finally moved. She grabbed Aunt Li's hand and refused to let go: "Aunt, can you really get me to work in the factory?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Aunt Li's face was firm: "There is a cosmetics factory at the entrance to the village of our production team. Didn't you see it when you came?"
Ai Meili nodded: "It was only after I saw that factory that I believed that your Shilipu production team is really a bit different. The members may be really wealthy."
"Isn't this the end?"
Aunt Li smiled and said: "Originally, the factory gave each family a quota of two young girls to work in the factory.
It's a pity that the Er family only has one daughter, and she has already been married to another village. So, Er called her back to take her place!
There was nothing I could do about the other quota, so I could only throw it there in vain and never use it. Originally, I planned to let my future daughter-in-law enter the factory.
Now, don’t we have you as my brother-in-law from my mother’s family? Well, why are you favoring me and letting you occupy this place first? If I don’t help you, who else can I help?”
finally,
Aunt Li, who suddenly became shrewd, used an illusory promise to seduce a beautiful daughter-in-law for her one-eyed, crippled old bachelor brother.
This kind of thing,
In the coming time, similar scenes will continue to happen in the Shilipu production team.
Thanks to Luo Xuan, a prosperous hotel and a cosmetics factory with good profits were built for the production team.
This made the lives of all the members of the Shilipu production team live in prosperity.
The small life of the members of the Shilipu production team is countless times better than that of other nearby production teams!
So much so that now, there are many girls who want to marry from the Shilipu production team!
They would often entrust a matchmaker to come to the Shilipu production team and ask: Whose family has any unmarried children?
But these days are getting better and better.
But Luo Xuan, the man who created all this for the members, can he come back?
Alas. After settling down Ai Meili, Aunt Li looked at the gloomy sky with a longing sigh: God, you must protect Luo Xuan!
Even if my life is shortened by ten years, I am still willing to exchange for Luo Xuan's peace!
