Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Chen Xu did not hide in the tent, but stood outside with an umbrella and watched the rising flood.

I breathed a sigh of relief. This place was far away from the breach, so the water was not that fast. After passing through the various streets and alleys of the old city, there was no longer any threat when I reached the Red Star Siheyuan.

It was still drizzling, but luckily there was no wind. If it was windy and rainy, it would be more troublesome.

"Chen Xu, do you want to come in and rest for a while?"

"No, just look after Mom and Little Moon while I see how high the water can rise."

"Ah."

Lin Chan nodded. She knew very well how strong her man's body was. It didn't matter if he didn't sleep for a few days, let alone just one night.

Compared to Chen Xu's calmness, the people around him on the roof were somewhat impatient. The water level kept rising and it looked somewhat scary. Some people even doubted whether the water would flood the roof.

Chen Xu knew very well that this was impossible. The water level would be at most about one meter and would recede soon. The amount of water in Sijiu City was not that large, but it was hard to say about Tianjin.

Everyone looked at the collapsed houses in the distance and couldn't help but become more worried.

There are many old houses in the city that have been in disrepair for a long time. They are prone to problems if they are rented out, and there are quite a few of them.

There are four main drainage rivers in the suburbs of the old city: Qinghe River, Bahe River, Tonghui River and Liangshui River. There are more than 30 small tributaries. Although they have been under repair in the past two years, they are still powerless in the face of such a large amount of water.

After finally making it to daybreak, someone brought news that several rivers had overflowed their banks. The five villages and a farm in the worst-hit Louzizhuang area were all flooded, leaving only the roofs, and transportation was cut off.

Chen Xu tried hard to retrieve the vague memories of his previous life from his mind. He remembered that the losses caused by this flood were extremely large.

During the rainstorm, a total of 295 factories in Beijing were damaged, and 85 of them stopped production completely.

The three woolen spinning mills in Qinghe and the Qinghe vermicelli factory were the worst hit by the water.

The city's industrial losses exceeded 10 million yuan.

In agriculture, nearly 300,000 mu of land was flooded in the three suburban areas of Chaoyang, Haidian and Fengtai, 98,000 mu of land was damaged, and more than 100 million kilograms of vegetables and 120,000 kilograms of grain were lost.

Thirty-five people died.

All this information is available for review.

Nanluoguxiang was actually relatively safe. Although it was also flooded, the water level stopped at about one meter.

Compared to the uneasiness in the darkness, the light of the day soothes people's hearts, as at least they can see clearly what is happening around them.

Those who were brave enough went down from the roof to check the situation at home. They found that the furniture and other things were definitely soaked in water. Fortunately, they had made preparations in advance and placed food, clothes, bedding and other things in the cupboard. They were not flooded at all. It was a blessing in disguise.

Chen Xu had no plans to go downstairs. There were not many things in the house, just some tables, chairs and benches.

The rain has stopped, but the sky is still gloomy.

Some people rowed small boats to distribute dry food and other supplies, as well as some pancakes, medicines, garlic and other supplies.

After being caught in the rain all night, many people caught a cold and had a fever.

Chen Xu looked around.

On the roof on the left were He Daqing, Li Xiulan, and the deaf old lady. He Daqing got a canvas from somewhere to cover the two women. He himself had been standing outside all night like Chen Xu. When he saw Chen Xu looking at him, he was in the mood to smile and say hello.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's not a big problem."

Chen Xu responded with a smile, and the two of them chatted like shouting, which made the lifeless courtyard a lot more lively.

The second uncle's family across the street were sitting on the roof in a daze. Liu Haizhong sat there sighing. There were only him and his wife at home. Now Old Liu began to worry about his two younger sons.

Although he didn't like the two little ones, they were his own children after all, and he didn't want to ignore their life or death. Now the two little ones were on the other side of the canal, and God knew what their situation was.

Over at the middle court.

Xu Damao crawled out of the tent with a confused look on his face. He was a very careless guy and fell asleep in the middle of the night. He was woken up by the noise outside and then he remembered that he was still sleeping on the roof.

Fortunately, the slope of the roof of the courtyard house is not too steep in some places. If it was a gable-shaped roof, it would be good enough to be able to stand steadily all night without falling.

Seeing Chen Xu chatting with He Daqing, Xu Damao wanted to start a conversation but because they were far away, he lost interest after just a few words. Although the distance was not far, he still had to shout, which was somewhat tiring, so he simply went back to the tent to check on his wife.

Little Yueyue woke up and babbled, asking for her father to hold her.

Chen Xu turned around and carried the little girl out. The little girl looked around with great interest, observing the people standing on the roof. The little girl was naughty, but it was the child's curiosity about the unfamiliar environment that was at work. Chen Xu was well aware of the preciousness of this nature.

Guidance is needed, but children’s curiosity cannot be extinguished.

Many parents like to use adult subjective consciousness to judge children's feelings, which is wrong.

The world of children is completely different from that of adults.

For example, the current floods are probably quite interesting in the eyes of children. This environment with water everywhere looks like each family lives on an island.

Unreliable parents break their children's wings when they are young, but then complain that their children can't fly.

Even more despicable are parents who themselves cannot fly, and then use their own pitiful worldview to forcibly change their children's thinking.

Make the other person become as mediocre as yourself, and in the end say that you are doing it for the good of the child, everything is for the child, and finally complain that the child is not motivated.

Chen Xu tapped Little Moon on her lips. Little Moon tilted her head cutely and blinked her big eyes twice, indicating she understood what her father meant. Just as she was about to speak, she immediately babbled.

Chen Xu felt amused. The little moon was his lucky star because it made him understand some ways to use space, such as the ability of telepathic communication, which the creatures in his own world could use in the outside world.

The next second Chen Xu felt a little depressed. Little Yueyue seemed to have discovered something interesting and quickly learned to talk to his father through telepathic communication, and he never stopped. Chen Xu had a headache.

A woman is equivalent to eight hundred ducks. A baby girl a few months old is no less talkative than an adult woman, and may even be more talkative.

Chen Xu was not impatient and responded to the little girl's childish questions one by one in his heart.

Being born extraordinary does not mean you are born wise, there is always a learning process.

Two screams from the right interrupted the conversation between Chen Xu and Xiao Yueliang.

Chen Xu turned his head and looked to the right.

Banggeng slid down and fell directly into the water in the middle courtyard. The screams just now came from Banggeng and Qin Huairu.

When Chen Xu looked at the time, the little stick dog had already fallen into the water and was still struggling in the water.

Chen Xu didn't make any move. He knew Banggeng could swim and the water was not deep.

In fact, many adults don’t know that children can swim. If you are interested, you can go home and ask your children whether they can swim.

In his previous life, Chen Xu also had the experience of sneaking around to swim with his friends but was eventually pulled back by the director of the orphanage.

He once saw Banggeng and a bunch of other little kids splashing around in the water in Shichahai. They were doggy paddling, of course, but they could indeed swim.

Qin Huairu's worries were put to rest. Banggeng came back to his senses after drinking a few sips of water and began to swim and play loudly.

Qin Huairu had just put her mind at ease when the voice of Chen Xu educating Xiao Yueliang came from beside her.

"Little Moon, don't learn from that little fat boy. The flood is dirty and contains all kinds of things, such as feces and dead animals. If you drink dirty water, you will get sick..."

"Ya ...
