Rebirth: Don’t be a coward and be a mother’s baby

Chapter 210 Discovering Flood Control Sandbags ([-]st update)
Everyone in the Dong family's yard was worried about Dong Ming's condition and couldn't sleep.

Lu Xiang felt uneasy as he listened to the pounding rain outside. Xie Jianjia's words flashed through his mind and he forced himself to sleep.

Early the next morning, there was drizzle in the sky.

Although the rain is still falling, it basically does not affect the progress of the search and rescue team.

Zhou Chunyan accompanied several elderly people at home and waited for news, while Dong Feng and others set off with the search and rescue team.

The car was driving on the bumpy land full of mud. Xie Jianjia was lying by the window. Whenever she saw a river or a puddle of water in the area she looked at, she immediately asked Dong Feng to stop the car and a few people got out of the car to search carefully.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the ridge and looked around. There were crop fields on both sides.

Huang Qiaoxiu was sitting in the passenger seat, her face getting paler and paler.

Since yesterday, she had been forcing herself to drive for several hours while enduring the discomfort, thinking it was due to a bad stomach. However, after a night's rest, the discomfort did not go away, but became more severe.

She couldn't bear it and pulled Dong Feng's arm.

"Dafeng, I want to vomit..."

Upon hearing this, Dong Feng stepped on the brakes and pulled the car over.

"Are you cold? Drink some warm water?"

Huang Qiaoxiu shook his head: "I don't know. I just drank it and still can't hold it down. I'll get out of the car and find a place to vomit."

Dong Feng looked back at Lu Xiang, "Sister-in-law, Qiaoxiu isn't feeling well. I'll stop the car and let her vomit for a while."

Lu Xiang nodded, looking worried.

"Go quickly. I must have not slept well since I came back so late yesterday. I didn't eat anything in the morning. I probably got motion sickness."

Xie Jianjia's attention was attracted by the groups of people outside the car. A man was pushing a trolley with a stack of dark green packaged items on it. The remaining people were also holding a group of green items in their hands, far away. I can't see clearly what it is, I can only see the color.

Xie Jianjia thought for a while and suddenly remembered that an important thing in flood prevention work was this color.

I couldn't help but feel a little excited. After saying something to Lu Xiang, I got out of the car and ran towards the crowd.

"Hello uncles and aunts, I would like to ask, where did you buy the sandbags you have?" The tone was very polite.

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the little girl's question. Several people moved the green sandbags with the words on them closer together, trying to cover up the words on them.

Xie Jianjia showed kind and innocent eyes.

"Uncle and aunt, I don't want your things. It's just that the front door of my house is flooded. If the rain continues, I'm afraid the house will be flooded. The yellow sandbags my father bought are of no use. I heard that green sandbags are more effective. My mother asked me to come out and find out who has green sandbags, so our family can spend a little more money to buy them!"

Hearing the pitiful words of the beautiful and well-behaved little girl, a fat woman immediately took out a sandbag of her own and wanted to stuff it into Xie Jianjia's hand, but when she caught a glimpse of her slender arms, she could only throw the sandbag in front of her.

"Girl, please call your dad. You have thin arms and legs. You can't carry a sandbag without asking for your money. It's hard for every household because of the floods."

Xie Jianjia lowered her head to look at the sandbags on the ground, and a few big characters came into view.

Special sandbags for fire and flood prevention.

It’s obviously the government’s flood control supplies!

Thank you Jianjia for your continued efforts.

"One is not enough. Water has already flowed in at the entrance of my yard. Auntie, just tell me where to buy it. I will buy it myself!"

The fat woman looked hesitant, wondering whether to tell the little girl. The short-haired man standing next to her coughed twice, and the woman sighed and shook her head.

"Little girl, that person has sold out. Don't go there. Ask your dad to buy more ordinary sandbags. As long as you pile them up more, the effect will be the same."

Xie Jianjia saw that several people who had been relaxed had closed their mouths because of the short-haired man's slight cough, and immediately realized that the man was the leader of these people.He should also have discovered the flood control sandbags.

"My mother broke her foot and can't go out. My father is taking care of her. Our house only has one floor. If water floods in, my mother won't even be able to go to the hospital for dressing..."

As he spoke, there was a hint of crying in his tone.

"Brother Li, it's just her doll. Tell her how much the family can use. We don't have much left over there after we moved it. The rest will be left to the doll. It's not easy for everyone these days."

It was still the fat woman who spoke first.

A middle-aged man who looked older also agreed.

"Yeah, we didn't steal this thing. It's just sitting there. We don't feel guilty about it. You're making us look like thieves."

The man who was called Brother Li became less stiff after being persuaded by others. He looked at Xie Jianjia and saw that her expression did not seem to be fake.

The man freed his hand and pointed at the bare field ridge in front of him.

"Go forward about a kilometer along the field ridge and go downhill to the left. There is a relatively low-lying field. That field... belongs to my family. Originally, the field was full of crops, but because of the continuous rain for several weeks, all the crops died. It has formed a small river, and I go there to drain it every morning. There is too much water and I can’t drain it away. When I went there this morning, I found that there were more of these things.”

When Xie Jianjia heard the word "Xiaohe", her eyes lit up and her tone was full of surprise.

"Thank you, uncle! I'll ask my dad to move it!"

After speaking, he bowed to the man, picked up the sandbags on the ground, thanked several people, and quickly ran back to the car to find Dong Feng.

Leaving everyone with a hurried back view.

"Brother Li, this girl is so polite."

"Is there a car there? It doesn't belong to that girl's family, right? Didn't she say that her father is taking care of her mother at home?"

Everyone looked at the car parked on the fence, and the little girl got in holding the sandbag.

Several people claimed that they had been deceived.

"Let's go, let's give the rest to this girl. She just cheated. She didn't cheat us out of money. It's not too much to ask for some sandbags. What we got is enough. After all, it's government stuff. Take it." I feel very uneasy..."

"It's just a few sandbags! The government has too many. If it washes into the river at my home, it belongs to me. My land is flooded like that and I don't know how I will survive this year. Is it too much to take a few sandbags?!"

After hearing Brother Li's words, the guys closed their mouths and stopped talking.

Once there is a flood, farmers like them will have nothing to do for a whole year.

But God won’t reason with you, and there’s nothing you can do about it no matter how much you scold him…

"Uncle Dafeng, uncle Dafeng! Hurry, drive the car further, almost one kilometer."

Huang Qiaoxiu felt better after vomiting. She was rinsing her mouth with warm water when Dong Feng applied some Fengyou essence to her temples.

After hearing Xie Jianjia's words, Dong Feng quickly asked: "What's going on with that group of people? Have you found any missing persons?"

All three people in the car looked at Xie Jianjia.

Xie Jianjia shook her head, "No, I found that the dark green things and sandbags on their hands were very similar to the government's special flood control sandbags. I took a closer look curiously and guessed it right. This place is not far from Changyun River Dam. It's very Maybe they came from over there."
