Hard times have room

Chapter 309 The Water Recedes

At noon, I finally drank the porridge I had been looking forward to for more than an hour, although it was only half a spoonful of gruel.

But Xu Wen really guessed it right, the porridge was brought up by the dormitory in a bucket and divided.

However, although the porridge was very thin, everyone was in a good mood, even Kuang Lili, who had a stinky face, burst into a smile.

That's right, it was the drizzle, the drizzle that had been falling, finally stopped.

Although the water can't go back for the time being, but the rain has stopped, there is hope, maybe I wake up tomorrow morning, alas, the water has receded.

Even Pauline was excited for an afternoon. When talking to someone, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, revealing an imperceptible smile.

At night, they couldn't be happy anymore, because they ran out of food, and even though they had cooked porridge, they could even count the beans in it.

It was still hard to bite, and her teeth were broken. Anyway, Pauline tried to take a bite, but she couldn't bite at all. In the end, she swallowed it hard, and she didn't even chew it. It wasn't that she didn't want to chew, but she couldn't chew it!
When going to bed at night, few people in the entire dormitory said that they could sleep as soon as they felt sleepy like before.

There are a lot of things in my heart, one is that there is no food, I will be hungry, the obvious thing, and the other is that the rain has stopped, and I don't know if the water level will drop in the morning tomorrow.

Early the next morning, the people who were sleeping soundly in the dormitory were awakened by the exclamations outside. It seemed that the water had receded. He lifted the quilt over his body, slipped out of bed, put on his shoes and left.

Pauline is no exception. She can be said to be one of the people in the dormitory who is most eager to go home. When she heard the water receding, she didn't even think about it, she just climbed down the ladder, dragged her straw shoes, and walked out. , she went directly to the stairwell on the first floor to see how many steps were left flooded.

It's still early in the morning, the sky is not very bright, but within two meters, you can see clearly.

Looking at the bottom of the situation, Pauline is both happy and worried. She is happy that the water has really receded, but she is worried that it has not completely receded. Before, the water level was probably at her waist, but now it should be at her thigh. , after all, the bottom stairs on this floor have four steps that are completely submerged by water.

After thinking about it, Paulin decided to give it a try. She had to go to No. [-] Middle School to have a look. If Xu Zihua and Xu Zhao were still at school, she would go back with them. If they were gone, she would wait for the water level. Go back a little further.

For Xu Wen and the others, the current water level is knee-deep. When the school runs out of food, the two sisters may find some people from the same place to go home together.

Hongxing Town studied a lot in Jiangning No. [-] Middle School, but she didn't know much!
Oh, by the way, there is also Kwong Lili, and a guy named Kwong Changlin. It seems that he has a brother, but as long as you ask Kwong Lili, it shouldn't be a big problem, she will connect these people together.

After all, according to what Kwong Lili said before, the family in the city has no other food, and her father has not come back. If he does, he will definitely come to pick her up and not let her stay in the dormitory alone. The same is true for her brother. She doesn't care about her, she won't let her stay here and ignore her.

Now, except for her mother in Hongxing Town, Kwong Lili seems to have no other place to go, so there is a high probability that she will agree with her statement.

If Kwong Lili gathers a group of people back to Hongxing Town, it seems that Xu Zhao and Xu Zihua will not need to call, but let's go and see, a village.

Besides, there are definitely not only the first middle school who returned to Hongxing Town, but also the second middle school. Many of them are friends, neighbors, and brothers.

Just do it when she thinks of it, and Pauline hurriedly ran back.

As soon as she saw Kuang Lili standing in the corridor looking down, she asked directly, "Are you going back to Hongxing Town?"

"I just went down to see it. Now the water is about the middle of my thigh. You are much taller than me. It should be at the knee. The water has receded a lot."

"If we want to go back, we can call more people from Hongxing Town and go back together, it's safe."

"You also ate dinner yesterday. There is definitely not much food here. If you continue to stay in the dormitory, you will only be starving. The candy you have left will not be able to support your stomach."

Bao Lin Xiaozhi showed her affection, and she moved with reason. In short, she said a lot of words, just hoping that Kwong Lili would agree to return together.

She is the key. Those years in Hongxing Town were not for nothing. Hongxing Town was in high school in Jiangning County. Even if she didn't recognize it completely, she could rely on a network of connections to convince these people. All assembled.

At that time, a large group of people will be on the road, and their safety will be guaranteed. After such a big flood, who knows if someone on the road will have the idea of ​​​​the person who has been left alone, and she does not dare to gamble with her own life. an indeterminate result.

As for the car, I don’t know how long it will take to wait. Maybe the bus got into the water and there is a problem. If this is the case, I don’t know how long it will take to repair, even if it is not soaked, it is not broken. , then the current road does not allow this car to drive up!
Now the road connecting Jiangning County to the towns and villages under the bottom, the good point is the gravel road, the bad point is directly the yellow mud road, it rained and the road was wet, the car was walking in fear, slowly, and now it is soaked. It's been a few days' drive, but it's not so easy to go, plus the water that hasn't completely receded yet, this car will definitely not be able to go on the road within three or four days.

Kwong Lili was also surprised. She didn't expect that Wang Baolin would take the initiative to come over and talk to her, and she was talking about returning to Hongxing Town.

To be honest, she was a little moved, but she was also hesitant, not knowing whether to go or not.

"I'm not very clear, you allow me to think about it, I'll give you the answer in half an hour at the latest."

After speaking, Kwong Lili turned around and went back to the dormitory. She had to think carefully about whether she would return.

Her mother is still working in Hongxing Town, her father should not come back yet, otherwise, he will definitely come to pick her up.

As for her brother, who is working in a steel factory in the county, he hasn't come home for more than a month since he slammed out the door last time.

Because Kuang Mingyuan knew how Kuang Lili's place in the No. [-] middle school came about, after a big quarrel with his father Kuang Yuanchen, he went straight to eat and live in the factory, and didn't even plan to return home.

On weekdays, his father loves Kwong Lili, and he often buys her the rare and expensive things he doesn't say. All the savings in the family are spent on Kwong Lili without even saying hello. This is too partial, what should he do? Don't be angry, don't be angry, you must know that he treats all the things in the family as belongings.

After all, he is the eldest and only son in the family, isn't that what it should be?Why is his parents so rare about Kwong Lili, since they are in the first year of junior high, don't blame him for being in the fifteenth, he doesn't plan to go back to this family, and if they are troubled, let their family of three come over!
