Chapter 41

Guo Xiang first walked around the living area. The whole living area is quite large. There is a four storey building, which should be the cadre's house as Li Chun said.

Gu Zhennan lives in two rows of single rooms, most of which are for married but not enough leaders or ordinary workers.

Two rows of bungalows are collective dormitories for single ordinary workers.

There is also a large open space behind the building, which has planted a lot of vegetables. It seems that some families have cultivated them themselves. If they grow vegetables, they don't have to buy them. As long as they buy meat and vegetables, they can save a little money.

The canteen is located between the single bungalow and the building, and the bathhouse is also there, which is obviously more convenient for cadres.

The oil well is still far away and can't be seen.

Li Chun said it would take an hour by car.

Yes, the living area can't be too close to the oil area, which will cause pollution.

Guo Xiang walked out along the vegetable field. After a long walk, he actually saw a lake.

The lake is clear and there is a large reed marsh by the lake.

During the summer vacation, several children were playing by the lake, splashing and laughing. They were all tanned and had a lot of fun.

The scorching sun hung high, and the reed marsh was covered with green leaves. As soon as the wind blew, the green waves surged, and several egrets soared up.

Guo Xiang approached the reed marsh and smelled the fragrance of the reed. The breeze brushed his face and the air was fresh. He was really relaxed and happy.

Suddenly Guo Xiang found several wild duck eggs in the reeds. He was happy and was about to pick them up. Suddenly there came a scream, "help, come on, brother Xiaopeng fell into the water!"

"Brother Xiaopeng..."

"Help..." the cry has sobbed.

Fall into the water? Aren't they just playing in the water? Is that... Deep water?

Guo Xiang jumped in his heart and hurried out.

Only a few children of five or six years old were crying on the shore. A boy of seven or eight years old was fluttering about ten meters away from the shore and was about to sink.

Guo Xiang ran quickly, jumped into the lake, rowed quickly and swam quickly.

He hugged the child. The child was confused. He got a life-saving straw and hugged Guo Xiang with both hands.

Guo Xiang's hands were too big for him to row. He shouted, "children, children, relax. My sister has come to save you. You have been saved. Don't be afraid..."

The child opened his eyes and saw that he had come out of the water. A good-looking sister hugged him and cried at once.

Guo Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he should have just choked a few salivas and scared. He was fine.

"Come on, relax, let go of my sister's hand, and my sister will take you back. Don't be afraid!" Guo Xiang said softly.

"Well, well..." the child sobbed and nodded, hugging Guo Xiang's neck with one hand and letting go of her arm with the other.

Guo Xiang picked up the child, rowed with one hand and slowly swam to the shore.

"Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?"

"Brother Xiaopeng, are you okay?"

"Brother Xiaopeng..."

Several children gathered around, their eyes still red.

Xiaopeng wiped his tears and shook his head. "I'm fine. Don't worry. I can't die!"

"I was scared to death just now!" A little girl with two pigtails patted her chest and said in a charming voice.

"If brother Xiaopeng drowns, my mother will kill me!" Said the other boy.

"Bah, you drowned!" Xiaopeng spat.

"Can't we come back to the lake in the future? I still want to play. " A child said anxiously.

Guo Xiang couldn't laugh or cry. Several bear children just had an accident. Did the scar forget to hurt?

"Why are you playing here by yourself? And no adult with him? " Asked Guo Xiang.

"My parents won't let us play. They say it's dangerous, but I just learned to swim. I want to try. Who knows..." Xiaopeng's voice gradually weakened.

It must be that the bear child felt he could swim, so he swam deep. Unexpectedly, he didn't pass the technology and almost drowned.

"Then you can't come by yourself. What if something happens? Like today, if I hadn't just come here, wouldn't you have drowned? " Guo Xiang said seriously.

"I was wrong..." Xiao Peng admitted his mistake very quickly, so that Guo Xiang didn't know what to say.

"Sister, I really thank you today. If it weren't for you, we would all be scolded by our parents." Said the little girl.

"Thank you, sister!"

"Thank you, sister!"

The children are still very polite.

The little girl looked up at Guo Xiang with adoration on her face. "My sister is good at swimming."

"Yes, it's great. It swam past at once. It's faster than a wild duck."

Guo Xiang can't laugh or cry. What's the metaphor?

"Let's go home!" Said a boy.

"Go, go, it'll be terrible if my parents know later!" The children agreed.

"Sister, who are you? Why haven't we met you? Are you from our oil team? " Xiao Peng raised his head and asked Guo Xiang.

Guo Xiang shook his head. "I'm not. I came to visit my relatives. I just arrived yesterday. Of course you don't know me."

"Can you not tell my parents about today?" Xiaopeng looked at Guo Xiang pitifully.

This... Guo Xiang really dare not promise. If he doesn't tell the story, what if the children don't learn a lesson and come out to play again next time? It's not as coincidence as today. What if something happens?

"Sister, please!"

"Sister, please!" Several children begged to be beaten by their parents.

Guo Xiang was thinking about how to answer, when he saw a woman running over in a panic. He seemed relieved to see several children, but when he saw that Xiaopeng and Guo Xiang were wet all over, his face sank, "did you go to the lake to play?"

"No, we're just by the lake..." a boy said quickly.

"By the lake? Who are you lying to? Xiao Peng is wet all over. How dare you lie to me? Didn't you tell me not to play in the lake? Why are you so disobedient? "

The woman roared loudly, grabbed the boy, twisted his body, took off her pants and slapped him heavily on her ass, "you dare to lie, I let you lie, I let you lie..."

"Mom, mom, I won't dare again!" The little boy screamed with fear, struggled with his life, cried and screamed.

"And next time!" The woman was so angry that she patted it again and again, and the boy's little ass was photographed red.

Guo Xiang couldn't stand it. "Sister-in-law, have something to say!"

The woman was stunned and stood up straight. "Are you?"

"Aunt Zhang, brother Xiaopeng fell into the water just now. It was this sister who saved him!" The little girl said.

"Yes, yes, we were almost scared to death just now."

"Brother Xiaopeng almost died!"

Several children are full of gossip. Guo Xiang can't cry or laugh. Just now he asked him to keep it a secret. Now he has said it himself. He's still too young.

"Really? Thank you so much! " Sister-in-law Zhang hurriedly said that she guessed something when she saw Guo Xiang wet.

"Xiaopeng's parents asked me to take care of the children and let them slip away if I wasn't careful. If something really happened to the child, how can I tell his parents!" Sister Zhang said with red eyes, "thank you so much!"

"Nothing!" Guo Xiang waved his hand.

"Are you new to the oil team? Why haven't I seen you before? " Sister Zhang asked curiously.

"I'm not from the oil team... I'm here to visit my relatives. I just arrived yesterday. It's Gu Zhennan's..." Guo Xiang didn't know what to say.

"Are you the daughter-in-law of deputy Gu? You are not... "Sister-in-law Zhang didn't go on.

Fool, yes, it's me. Guo Xiang smiled bitterly.

I didn't expect my silly name to spread far and wide.
