Sun Lan returned home in a short while, while Li Xiulian was changing the sheets and quilt.
"Mom, I'm here to help." Sun Lan said and stepped forward to help, which stunned Li Xiulian. Didn't this girl treat her as an enemy just now? Why did she look like a different person when she went out?
However, seeing that her face had improved a lot, Li Xiulian did not dare to bring up the previous topic and talked about washing clothes with her daughter.
"Lanzi, with your help we can go much faster. Let's try to get a good place this time." Li Xiulian said while speeding up her hand.
Sun Lan glanced at her mother and said nothing.
The couple had been busy for a while and had almost prepared the things they were going to wash at the river. At this time, they saw several military wives walking past their door carrying big basins, laughing and joking.
Li Xiulian became a little anxious when she saw them: "Lanzi, let's hurry up, they are already going there."
"Oh, I'll go find Mengmeng." Sun Lan responded.
"What are you taking her for? We're going to wash clothes and we don't have time to take care of her?" Li Xiulian said disapprovingly.
It was so safe to stay in the compound. Why take the children out? Although many military families also took their children to play by the river, she was lazy and didn't want to watch Mengmeng at all.
"Now that woman is seducing Brother Guoping, I have to think of something to do with the child?"
After hearing what her daughter said, what else could Li Xiulian do besides support? She sighed: "Oh, I don't know when Platoon Leader Xu will be able to see how good my Lanzi is."
Sun Lan ignored her and went out to find Mengmeng. She saw Mengmeng playing with the children in the courtyard, her little face already stained with dust and became dirty. She curled her lips in disgust, then put on a smile and said, "Mengmeng, Auntie will go to the river to wash clothes later. I heard that there are many beautiful pebbles by the river, can I take you there?"
When Mengmeng heard that Aunt Lanzi wanted to take her to play by the river, she nodded hurriedly. She hadn't been out for a long time. Her brother wanted to take her out before, but her father didn't agree. Now she can finally go to the river. It’s time to touch shrimps and catch toads!
Sun Lan asked again: "Where is Huzi? Fat Sister, will you take him with you?"
Huzi was beside Mengmeng. When he heard that Sun Lan was going to take Mengmeng to play by the river, he also wanted to go. He said to Mengmeng, "You go first, and I will ask my mother to take me there soon."
Sun Lan said understandingly: "I'll take you with me. You and Mengmeng can also be companions."
When Huzi heard this, there was no reason to disagree, so Sun Lan and Li Xiulian walked to the river with a large bucket of clothes and two children.
Walking on the road, Sun Lan asked: "Mengmeng, have you brought the little red flower?"
Mengmeng then remembered that Aunt Lanzi wanted to see Little Red Flower. She originally wanted to wait until her father finished reading it before showing it to Aunt Lanzi, but her father did not come back last night. Now Aunt Lanzi took her out to play again. Mengmeng After thinking for a while, she said in a sweet voice: "Aunt Lanzi, I brought it, and I will show it to you."
Sun Lan said: "Don't worry, don't drop it on the way. Wait until you get to the river and show it to me. I have to take a good look. This little flower is so beautiful."
Hearing what she said, Huzi's curiosity was aroused, and he wanted to see the little red flowers. Mengmeng was afraid that the flowers would be lost, so she said she would take them out when she got to the river.
At this time, Wu Xia and Fat Sister also returned home. Fat Sister said: "Sister, you also go and clean up. We will go to the river to wash clothes later. I will call my tigers later. You can Mengmeng, please come too, just in time to give the children a bath."
"Okay." Wu Xia agreed.
Arriving at Li's house and seeing the door closed, Wu Xia asked the children playing in the yard and found out that Li Xiulian had taken Mengmeng to the river to wash clothes. Upon hearing this, Wu Xia's heart suddenly tightened, feeling something bad. The premonition gave her goosebumps all over her body.
Mengmeng may be in danger!
Wu Xia didn't care about waiting for the fat sister, and ran towards the river. The body that came through had long arms and legs, and it ran much faster than ordinary people. The fat sister saw Wu Xia coming from behind like the wind. She was passing by her, and when she was about to chase her, she looked down at her legs.
forget it.
She asked the children where Huzi had gone. She heard that Huzi had also gone to the river. The fat sister also walked to the river with her things.
At this time, Mengmeng took out the little red flower. Huzi was encouraged by Sun Lan and insisted on holding it to look at it. Mengmeng refused, but someone knocked her down. Mengmeng fell down and the little red flower fell. Arrived in the river.
"What should I do? Your dad hasn't seen it yet?" Sun Lan whispered in Mengmeng's ear with vicious eyes.
Then, she raised her voice and said, "Don't move, all of you. I'll find a branch and fish it out."
All the women washing clothes on the river beach saw it, and some even shouted: "Isn't it just a little flower? If it's gone, it's gone. Lanzi, you are really good at spoiling children."
While Sun Lan chatted with them, she walked quickly towards the bushes. Mengmeng saw the little red flower being swept further and further away by the current. After a wave passed, the little red flower was about to sink into the water.
She was so anxious that her little eyebrows turned red. She no longer cared about waiting for Sun Lan to get the branch, and ran towards the most dangerous river beach.
Huzi took one look and chased after him: "Mengmeng, let me help you."
The place where Sun Lan washes clothes is only a few steps away from the most dangerous river beach. By the time the adults reacted and started shouting to stop the children, Mengmeng and Huzi were already standing in the river.
They were almost there. Mengmeng reached forward with her hands. She and Huzi were about to catch the little red flower, but they didn't expect that the little red flower was washed away by the water.
The two children walked forward again, as if they didn't hear the adults' shouts, and there were only little red flowers in their eyes.
"Enough!"
Mengmeng stretched out her hand to catch the little red flower. Before she could laugh, the suction force in the river made her unsteady and she was directly rolled into the river. Huzi wanted to catch Mengmeng, but he was only better than Mengmeng. One year older, how could he withstand the undercurrent in the water? The two children were taken into the river by the undercurrent one after another.
"Hurry up and save people!" A military wife saw this scene and shouted with a white face. Sun Lan pretended to run forward two steps to save the child, then tripped and fell to the ground.
After such a delay, the two children were submerged in the river water, and only their two little hands could be seen struggling desperately out of the water.
The military wives ran over. This is the northern region. Most people don't know how to swim and people have drowned here before, so everyone only dared to find branches to fish out their children.
At the critical moment, people saw a man rushing into the river with long legs.
Sun Lan sat on the ground with a vicious smile on her face. She calculated just right. She just saw Wu Xia's figure before she started to act.
In this way, if Wu Xia doesn't save the child, she can be labeled as unwilling to save the child. If she saves the child, then she will die with the oil bottle, hahahaha!
