Ahu's mother is older than Wang Qingxin, shouting: "Hold your head! Just hold your head!"
After a while, Ahu ran back in panic with his head in his hands, and explained with a sad face: "The windshield of the car is broken! The car window is just scratched, the windshield cannot be used!"
Xiao Huzi was extremely excited and asked with a smile: "Dad, if there is no windshield, do we not have to go back to the county? We can live here tonight, right?"
Ahu couldn't help but gave his son a small fist and snorted: "You bastard!"
Tiger Girl laughed loudly and shouted excitedly: "Brother Yang! We are staying tonight! Let's watch cartoons together!"
Ahu smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said to Wang Qing: "Find a place to repair the glass tomorrow morning, otherwise it will be rainy and cold outside, making it unsafe to drive, and it will be too cold to sit in the car."
Wang Qing took out a pile of tissues and gently helped him wipe the rain off his face.
"Then go back tomorrow. If you squeeze in a bit tonight, you should be able to sleep. This villa is so spacious, with so many beds and so many sofas, so you don't have to worry about not having a place to sleep. If you can't go back, the children will be happier."
Ah Hu's mother didn't care, and said: "This room can sleep hundreds of people, let alone just a few of us. If it's too cold at night, it will definitely be warmer if everyone huddles together."
Liu Ying couldn't help but nod: "Don't be afraid, sister, let's squeeze in at night."
Cheng Muhai and Xue's parents were still gathered at the window, looking back and forth.
Ranran shouted: "No more! All that's left now is rain!"
Xiao Chong was gnawing slices of bread while shouting: "Mom! I want to go out to pick up ice cubes! They look white and fun!"
"No." Xue Ling immediately objected: "They are all cold ice cubes, not much fun. The temperature outside is very low now, and it is raining. It is easy to catch a cold if you get wet."
Xiao Chong was very disappointed and muttered: "I'm not afraid of catching a cold."
"I'm afraid. I'm afraid. Okay?"
"
"Then... let's forget it." Xiao Chong was immediately afraid. He didn't want to drink the bitter concoction or anything like that.
Xue Ling looked at the heavy rain and couldn't help but frown: "I don't know where your father is now?"
She simply took out her cell phone and called Cheng Tianyuan.
——Daughter-in-law, I still have something to do! The north side of the village is in chaos right now, I’m here to help! Don’t come out, stay at home, eat well and wear warm clothes!
Then he hung up.
Xue Ling was secretly worried, feeling that he was getting wet in the rain.
It was so cold outside and a storm was falling. She stood at the window and looked more and more worried.
She hurried upstairs, took his clothes and baked them in front of the heater.
"Of course, go and collect all the big towels you are using! Turn on the heater! We have to dry the clothes and towels now, otherwise there won't be enough for the night."
Everyone was busy running up and down.
…
Ahu's mother and Liu Ying prepared dinner and let the seven children eat first.
Xue Yang was making braised noodles, laughing and shouting: "Grandma Tiger, why are you so awesome? The noodles you make are so delicious!"
Ahu's mother smiled from ear to ear and said, "Why is this kid so sweet? I like it! Have another bowl, okay?"
"Okay!" Xue Yang immediately held up the big bowl.
Seeing that he was eating a lot and fast, Ah Hu's mother couldn't help but said to Liu Ying who was standing aside: "This kid is really strong, just like Ah Hu when he was a child!"
Liu Ying chuckled: "This child has been bigger than others since he was born."
After the children finished eating, they went upstairs to watch TV, and the adults started eating and drinking.
Cheng Muhai shook his head and sighed: "I have no appetite at all, you can eat."
Xue Ling was worried and specially spooned a bowl of porridge to him.
"Dad, no matter how sad you are, you still have to take care of your health. You still have to help with Chang Bo's funeral!"
After hearing this, Cheng Muhai slowly took the bowl and drank.
Ah Hu had a good appetite. He ate three large bowls of braised noodles and nibbled on five or six pieces of large ham.
Wang Qing on the side couldn't help but remind: "Don't eat too much, try to diet verbally."
"Yeah." Ahu responded confusedly.
Xue Ling was worried about her husband who was away, so she was a little absent-minded. She only ate a small bowl of noodles and put down her chopsticks.
Liu Ying couldn't help but remind: "Ling Ling, please call A Yuan again and ask him to go home for dinner. It's dark outside, why hasn't he come back yet?"
"No." Xue Ling whispered: "He must not be able to leave. Let's wait a little longer."
The rain gradually lightened up, and the wind was freezing outside.
Everyone was sitting in the room, still feeling cold all over, and couldn't help but pity Cheng Tianyuan who was soaking in the rain outside.
"Why haven't you come back yet?"
"It's almost eight o'clock."
Everyone waited and waited until after nine o'clock in the evening, Cheng Tianyuan came back in a hurry.
He was wet all over, and his coat was extremely wet.
Xue Ling picked up his clothes, handed him a glass of warm water, and said hurriedly: "Go to the bathroom and take a hot bath! Hurry!"
Cheng Tianyuan took a sip and drank it, then hurriedly went to take a shower.
After a while, he came out full of heat.
Liu Ying shouted: "Come and eat noodles, it's hot!"
While Cheng Tianyuan was eating, he told everyone what he had been busy with in the afternoon.
"The police quickly found clues. The dagger that killed Chang Bo was still by the river on the mountainside, and there were several vague footprints. The police concluded that the man was hiding in the mountains, and immediately went up the mountain with police dogs to search for Chang Bo's
The body cannot be buried for the time being, and forensic analysis is still needed, so the funeral cannot be held until the case is finally revealed."
Cheng Muhai quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and swallowed: "Damn it..."
Liu Ying asked: "Then what are you doing in the north of the village?"
"Three adobe houses collapsed over there." Cheng Tianyuan explained: "The hail was really severe and broke a big hole in the roof. Fortunately, people hid in time, otherwise something would have happened. The village chief took the strong men in the village to help move out of the adobe houses.
The food and furniture were carried to the village committee for settlement. The roofs of more than 20 households were smashed, and the houses were in a mess. Uncle Shui Gen's forehead was injured and he was bleeding.
It was bandaged at the clinic, and I'm still getting an intravenous drip."
"It's okay that it's not serious." Xue Ling whispered: "There were no major casualties, which is also a great blessing among misfortunes. The hailstorm earlier was really scary."
Cheng Tianyuan said: "The village chief and several cadres in the village are busy going in and out. People in need are temporarily going to the village committee for resettlement. When the weather gets better tomorrow, we will discuss how to deal with it. Just after a man-made disaster happened, another one came
It’s really troublesome to have a natural disaster happen!”
Ahu blew out a puff of smoke and sighed: "This is just a coincidence. The weather forecast on the TV station two days ago always said that there will be some kind of strong convective weather recently, and there may be extreme weather phenomena. How can we avoid such natural disasters?
.”
"Man-made disasters can't be avoided just because you want to." Liu Ying added, "Uncle Chang just left like that... Who would have thought that he would be fine at noon, talking and laughing with us."
Everyone was silent again, each feeling sad.
Cheng Tianyuan helplessly whispered: "It's cold, please take the children to rest early."
Everyone went upstairs one after another.
Mother Xue took her daughter's hand and pulled it gently.
Xue Ling felt it immediately, gave her a "wait a moment" look, and turned around to find a few children first.
After putting the child to bed, she took the opportunity to go to her parents' room.
Xue's father was covered with quilt and was drowsy. Xue's mother was pacing back and forth in the room, frowning.
As soon as Xue Ling walked in, the old man immediately lowered his voice and asked: "Ling Ling, when will we leave here?"
