Traveling through the ages with the hotel, being doted on by four brothers

Chapter 337: Even if we gallop, we can’t catch up

The team leader shouted again, "The production team across the street, hurry to the river to see if there are any people in the river. There is heavy rainfall upstream, and a flash flood is coming soon. Everyone hurry to get ashore."

After shouting, the team leader went home, got on his bicycle, and set off on his way.

Those who were swimming by the river reluctantly came out of the river after hearing the captain's voice. After waiting for a while and seeing that there was no so-called flash flood, they planned to go into the water again. As a result, they found that the color of the water in front of them had changed and the water level was slowly rising. Everyone was scared and ran to the shore.

Those who were far away from the river put their hands on their chests, their hearts beating violently. The impact of the water was so strong that even adults could not stand. If they did not get out, what would be their fate?
Fortunately, they came up obediently, otherwise they would have been carried away by the flash flood.

When the summer cicadas received the notice, they went home. If someone disobeyed, they deserved to suffer.

She was also quite puzzled. The good weather and harvest this year were too abnormal. It turned out that something like this was waiting for her. Otherwise, many families would have suffered huge tragedies.

When Xia Chan arrived at the mountain, he first went to take a look at the small stream. The water level had reached the shore, and the stones used for washing clothes were also flooded, but it did not reach the shore. It seemed that the water flow was only this strong, so he returned home with peace of mind.

Xiao Tiantian and Yuan Bingbing had already taken a shower, changed their clothes, and packed up the child.

Seeing Xia Chan coming back, Yuan Bingbing said, "Xiao Chan, there is still warm water in the pot, you can take a bath too!"

"Okay." Xia Chan took the clothes and went to the bathroom with hot water. The weather was hot now, and it was not cold to take a shower outside, so there was no need to go to the hotel bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Xia Chan went to the kitchen to cut a watermelon, brought it to the room, put it on the table, and invited them to eat watermelon.

"Is the flash flood really coming?" Yuan Bingbing asked with some fear.

Xia Chan nodded, "I just went to check, the water level is already level with the shore."

"How did you find out?" Xiao Tiantian was full of admiration. They were playing in the water, but Xia Chan happened to find out.

"Because I saw that the original water level line was submerged and could not be seen, that means the water level has risen, and it hasn't rained, so how could the water level rise? It is possible that there was heavy rain upstream. Although heavy rain does not necessarily mean there will be flash floods, it will always be okay if we are careful, right?" Xia Chan only said the part that could be said, and did not say the part that could not be said.

The team leader also called the commune. After all, time was urgent and some production teams did not have telephones, so he could not notify them. He could only report the matter. Otherwise, if something happened to other production teams, he would be blamed.

There is a lot of rainfall in the summer, so things like this are indeed prone to happen. After a subsequent meeting, it was decided that each production team would send out two villagers to patrol and report any flooding in the river upstream immediately, which could also avoid tragedies.

Zhou Ji also came back soon and said gratefully, "Xia Chan, I really want to thank you today. If you hadn't reminded everyone, many people would have been affected. The flash flood came too fast."

"Are you swimming too?" Xia Chan raised his eyebrows.

Zhou Ji shook his head. "I'm enjoying the cool under a nearby tree. If I don't leave, I'll probably be swept away by the flash flood."

"You have only taken a few days off, so just take a good rest!" Xia Chan said. He was reminded not to go to crowded places, but he still went. What if he was recognized?
The old couple in the old house are still alive and well. If they find out that Zhou Ji is also their grandson, will they really not ask him for money?
Definitely!

Zhou Ji was not a member of the production team, so if they went to Zhou Ji, it would not be considered as causing trouble in the production team, and they could always get some benefits from Zhou Ji. Zhou Ji nodded, "I will also rest well for the next two days and not go to the team."

"When do you plan to take the child to meet his grandmother?" Xia Chan asked.

"Let's go tomorrow morning. I'll go by myself then and won't take the children into the mountains to prevent them from being bitten by insects. Some of the insects on the mountain are very poisonous, and children's skin is too delicate to withstand it." Zhou Ji said.

Xia Chan nodded, "Okay."

Zhou Ji's biological mother's grave is in the mountains. There are all kinds of snakes, rats, insects, and plants on the mountain. Don't scratch the child. The child is only a hundred days old. No one will blame them. You can wait until the child is older before going there.

Yuan Bingbing and Zhou Ji played by the river for five days and then went back. They happened to catch the day when the team's tractor was going into the city, so they took the tractor directly to the town without letting Xia Chan take them there.

Xia Chan prepared a lot of mountain products for them to take back and eat slowly. She also gave the baby five red envelopes, including those for her brothers. Since it was the first time they met, she must give the child a gift.

If I give it to them in advance, I’m afraid they won’t want it, or I’m also afraid they will quietly put it down, so I give it to them when they leave.

Thanks to Xia Chan's reminder, all the people in the team who were playing in the river got ashore in time, avoiding tragedy. Therefore, the production team held a commendation meeting to praise Xia Chan's good deeds, which saved many lives and many families.

All the members of the team, including the educated youth, stood in the threshing ground, watching Xia Chan standing next to the team leader and reaching out to take the bonus and reward given by the team leader.

And it’s double.

Because one of them was issued by the commune.

In the past few years, everyone has seen that the family that was originally the poorest has become better and better, and even surpassed everyone else. In the past, everyone thought that Xia Chan's family was too poor, and that the boys would definitely not be able to afford to marry and would have to be bachelors for the rest of their lives. However, they did not expect that Jin Pengyuan had already married a girl from a wealthy family.

The poorest families are the ones that no one else can catch up with even if they rush forward.

"I know everyone will doubt how I discovered the flash flood. Next, I will share with you the experience I read in the book. The first is the rise of the water level. If it has not rained, but the water level rises suddenly, then the upstream is either releasing water or it is raining. The second is that the water becomes turbid. Why would the good water become turbid? There must be something big going on. Since we don't know what it is, we must hurry to get ashore!"

"Although studying costs money, it is really important because you can learn and know a lot of things. I hope everyone can let their children study well." Xia Chan said seriously.

Everyone at the educated youth point stood together. The old educated youth all knew Xia Chan, but the new educated youth didn't know much about him. After all, Xia Chan was no longer a tractor driver and rarely appeared in the production team.

After listening to everyone's popular science about summer cicadas, some people felt a strong admiration in their hearts and decisively saved everyone's lives time and time again.

Some people were sneering, saying that what's the point for a woman to be so powerful? She was still abandoned by her fiancé, her reputation was ruined, and now she can't get married.

Xia Chan stood next to the team leader and could not hear what everyone was discussing in whispers. Even if she heard it, she would not take it seriously. Everyone had different goals. Some people just wanted to get married and depend on men to live, but in the end they realized that men were unreliable and that they had to rely more on themselves.

She is happy and relaxed without getting married!
