Ling Xiaowei was thinking beautifully in her heart, but when she turned around, she found that Ming Ming was gone, "Ming Ming!" Ling Xiaowei shouted, and suddenly began to panic in her heart. She obviously didn't run to the river to play!
The houses in her house are built along the river, and every house has a pier facing the river. The pier is made of stones, small and steep. At this time, the river water is still very clear, clear to the bottom.
, you can clearly see the fish and shrimp on the bottom of the river.
Every summer, adults and children would go swimming in the river, and Ling Xiaowei also learned to swim silently with everyone.
There was a small dock next to the river next to her house. She usually went to the dock to do laundry and vegetables. She threw down the iron fork in her hand and ran to the river to find Mingming.
There are not many steps from the door to the river. It is obviously not on the river, so it must have been off the pier.
The pier is small and slippery, and there are many shrubs and weeds on both sides. It is obvious that if it really goes down, it will fall into the river.
When Ling Xiaowei ran to the pier, she saw a small figure squatting on the stone steps of the pier, holding a slender reed pole in her hand. This must have been picked up from the river. She was obviously holding
I am playing with this pole by slapping the river water.
Ling Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this. It was really scary. If she fell into the river, it would be fatal.
"Mingming, come up quickly!" Ling Xiaowei walked down the steps and pulled Mingming ashore.
Mingming turned around and saw Ling Xiaowei, raised a sunny smile, and shouted with a smile: "Sister, look, there is a big fish in the water!"
As he spoke, Ming Ming stood up happily and poked the river water with a pole. Suddenly, his body fell forward uncontrollably. With a pop, Ming Ming fell into the river with lightning speed, causing a splash of water.
, Ling Xiaowei’s face was splashed.
"Sister...help..." Mingming was frightened and flopped in the river, shouting loudly.
"Mingming!" Ling Xiaowei shouted in shock, ran a few steps forward, jumped into the river desperately, and grabbed Mingming, who was sinking.
The river is not shallow, and the mud at the bottom of the river is also very deep. Ling Xiaowei is a small person and has little strength. She obviously fell into the water. She was as shocked as a rabbit. She kept thrashing around. As soon as she hugged Ling Xiaowei's arm, she was like an eight-year-old.
Like a clawed fish, he held her arm tightly and wouldn't let go.
She held her arms and how to paddle. Ling Xiaowei was not tall, but she could just keep her head above the water to breathe. She kept paddling with her legs, pulling Mingming and holding Mingming's butt toward the shore.
Ling Guoqiang, who was sewing clothes in the room, vaguely heard Ling Xiaowei's scream, but the sound was wrong.
He moved his body and went out of the house with his hands on the crutches. The sunlight outside was dazzling. He squinted to see that there was no one at the door, and he panicked. Where had the two children gone?
When he thought that the child might have gone to the river, he was so panicked that he couldn't breathe. He leaned against the wall and moved all the way to the intersection. When he reached the intersection, he heard Mingming crying, "Sister, I'm so scared!"
"Mingming, Xiaowei, where are you?" Ling Guoqiang shouted, his voice seemed particularly loud in the quiet village.
"Dad...Dad, save us!" Mingming heard Ling Guoqiang's cry and hurriedly cried.
"Obviously, don't call me daddy, my sister will save you." Ling Xiaowei whispered, but the movement of her feet did not stop. She walked towards the river step by step, and stretched out her hands to pull the water plants by the river, hoping to use the water plants
The force pulled them ashore.
Hearing the cry, Ling Guoqiang was really frightened. At this moment, he wished he could run to the river and pull the two children ashore, but he was so useless that he could not move even an inch.
Zhang Cuifen, who had returned from the fields, was on her way home when she heard a cry similar to Mingming's in the distance. She was so frightened that she dropped the car and ran to the river. When she saw two people in the river, she shouted in shock:
"My dear mother!" After saying that, she quickly got into the river, picked up Mingming with one hand, and pulled Ling Xiaowei with the other, and pulled the two of them to the shore.
Grandma followed closely behind, and saw two people who looked like drowned rats, with frightened expressions on their faces.
After returning home, grandma quickly boiled a pot of hot water and put bath water in the side room of the hut. Ling Xiaowei and Mingming took turns taking a hot bath.
From ashore to home, Zhang Cuifen didn't ask any questions, nor did she ask how she fell into the water. She even asked her if she was okay from time to time. Ling Xiaowei was quite surprised by this.
This scene happened once in her previous life. That time, she and Mingming were playing by the river, and then they both fell into the river. At that time, Zhang Cuifen only focused on saving Mingming and went back, but she was pulled ashore by her grandmother.
After returning home, Zhang Cuifen kept scolding her and called her all kinds of unpleasant words.
This time, something was a little unusual.
Zhang Cuifen doesn't have any resentment. She keeps it deep in her heart and doesn't say it!
After a lot of trouble, the family arrived at the dinner table.
At this time, Zhang Cuifen gave Mingming a slap in the face and said fiercely: "Didn't my mother tell you not to go to the river to play in the water? Why are you disobedient?"
With a crying face, Mingming broke away from Zhang Cuifen's arms and got into Ling Xiaowei's arms. He felt that his sister was better to him. She had been holding him in the river just now.
Although a person is small, he knows very well who is good to him.
"Aunt Zhang, it's my fault for not taking a good look at Mingming!" Ling Xiaowei took the initiative to admit her mistake.
The anger on Zhang Cuifen's face gradually disappeared. After hearing Ling Xiaowei's words and seeing how clinging to Xiaowei she was, she felt that she had gone too far. How could she blame Xiaowei in her heart.
Xiaowei is so good these days. She helps with housework, cooks during the farm work, and makes money. She really shouldn't.
"No, Auntie doesn't blame you. It's my fault. It's my fault. If it weren't for you, I would be gone!" Zhang Cuifen explained quickly.
"Okay, let's eat! The children are fine." Grandma said from the side.
She was also a little unsure in her heart, whether Cuifen was blaming Xiaowei and saying that it was hard to be a stepmother. She suddenly felt sorry for Xiaowei's child. Xiaowei was also soaked today.
Zhang Cuifen opened her mouth and wanted to explain that she really didn't mean to blame Xiaowei, but seeing that everyone was eating, no one wanted to hear her explanation. Alas! She really didn't mean that, it's hard to be a stepmother!
The meal was finished in a quiet state. After the meal, Ling Xiaowei was supposed to clean up, but Zhang Cuifen took care of it all and let Ling Xiaowei go to rest.
Ling Xiaowei was also confused, but it was nice not to have to wash the pots and dishes!
After returning to the house, Mingming, this little follower, also came over and consciously sat beside Ling Xiaowei's bed, very well-behaved.
