Chapter 1626 Jumping Into the River to Save People, the Wronged Li Si

"Xiaochen, are you ready?"

After lunch, Sun Xiuyun was ready and stood at the door waiting for Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

"Aunt, I just need to buy two pieces of clothes. I can go by myself. You can rest at home."

"No, I'll go with you. I can help you choose and bargain. If I let you go, you won't even bargain and get ripped off."

Because Zhou Chen has grown very fast in the past few months and is now 1.82 meters tall, the clothes he bought before can no longer fit him and he needs to buy new clothes.

So Sun Xiuyun deliberately chose the weekend, changed shifts with others, and prepared to take Zhou Chen to buy clothes.

Zhou Chen didn't refuse again, because what Sun Xiuyun said was indeed right. Bargaining was indeed not his forte, nor could he be considered unskilled. It was just that he had his own set of judgments on buying things. He would bargain, and as long as he could accept and be satisfied, he would buy.

But Sun Xiuyun is different. She bargains with a knife. She doesn't care what you say. She will just cut the price first, directly on the aorta, and then slowly sew and mend it. Anyway, she will cut until she can't cut it anymore. If she is satisfied, she will buy it. If she is not satisfied, she will leave.

After shopping for more than two hours, Sun Xiuyun bought three sets of clothes, pants and shoes for Zhou Chen. If Zhou Chen hadn't stopped her, she would probably continue shopping.

Zhou Chen just returned to the dormitory building on his bicycle when he heard his neighbor downstairs, Wu Haiyang, who was in the second grade of junior high school, running over to tell him.

"Brother Chen, something happened. Hu Qiumin is going to jump into the river. She is over there on the bridge."

"Ah?"

Sun Xiuyun was startled. Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else. He quickly stopped his bicycle and handed the clothes and things to Sun Xiuyun.

"Aunt, go back first, I'll go over and take a look."

Sun Xiuyun shouted at Zhou Chen who was running away: "Xiaochen, be careful."

In the plot, Hu Qiumin was slapped by her mother Hu Yue because of the quarrel between her mother and Yang Songbai, and then she was so angry that she wanted to jump into the river.

Zhou Chen and Hu Qiumin have known each other for such a long time, and they have a very good relationship with each other. Hu Qiumin is also a very good girl, so he naturally doesn't want to see Hu Qiumin get into trouble.

As for the conflict between Hu Yue and Yang Songbai in Hu Qiumin's family, it is not something that an outsider like him can intervene in. The conflict between them cannot be resolved. With Hu Qiumin's personality, something big will happen sooner or later.

Don't look at Hu Qiumin as a girl, but in fact she is a girl with a more intense personality. When stimulated, she will easily make extreme choices.

Zhou Chen ran very fast. It only took him a few minutes to run to the bridge at the border of the base. Seeing a group of people gathered there, he rushed in without thinking.

As the saying goes, it is better to come at the right time than to come early.

Zhou Chen wanted to run over to persuade them as quickly as possible, but as soon as he rushed into the crowd, he saw Hu Yue jump down, and Li Si also fell down in order to pull Hu Yue down.

Without even a chance to shout "Fuck", Zhou Chen pushed Yang Songbai in front of him away, jumped up, and also jumped off the bridge.

"Ah, Zhou Chen!"

Cheng Miaomiao was already scared when she saw Li Si and Hu Yue fall down, and suddenly saw Zhou Chen jump down, and she was completely shocked.

Not only him, but the people around him were also scared. They all lay on the railings of the bridge, staring nervously at the river below.

Zhou Chen jumped into the water from the bridge, and the impact did not affect him. After falling into the water, he quickly looked for the location of Li Si and Hu Yue, and soon saw that they were sinking, so he immediately swam over.

He can easily dive even on the seabed. Although he has no equipment now, he still moves freely and feels like a fish in water even in the water with his superb water ability and physical strength.

Soon he swam to the position of Li Si and Hu Yue. Because Li Si was holding Hu Yue, they were not far apart. Zhou Chen grabbed Li Si first, and then Hu Yue.

Even though he had no hands, his legs swung flexibly, and his body cooperated very flexibly, slowly floating to the surface of the water.

"Wow!"

Zhou Chen rushed out of the water first, and then pulled Li Si and Hu Yue to the surface.

Li Si fluttered with both hands, and after floating to the surface, he kept spitting water from his mouth and breathing heavily. As for Hu Yue on the other side, she was frantically moving her hands and feet. If Zhou Chen was not strong enough, he really couldn't control her, and might be dragged down by her fluttering.

"They are coming up, they are coming up, hurry up and pull them up."

The people on the bridge saw Zhou Chen pulling Li Si and Hu Yue out of the water, and they all cheered excitedly, and then someone rushed under the bridge and jumped into the water to help.

Zhou Chen pulled them to the riverside, and then saw Gao Feiyang and Qiang Xiaowa who also went into the water. One of them just passed by, and the other heard that something happened here and rushed over, and then went into the water to help.

Zhou Chen handed Hu Yue to them, and he pulled Li Si to the shore.

After getting ashore, Zhou Chen didn't care about anything else and immediately went to see Li Si's situation. He was not worried about Hu Yue, but Li Si's situation was different.

Li Si kept coughing, and river water came out of his mouth. Zhou Chen stood behind him and patted his back.

"Li Si, how are you?"

"Cough, cough, cough, a little uncomfortable."

Li Si choked on the water and couldn't stop coughing, so Zhou Chen immediately carried him on his back.

"Don't move first, I'll carry you to the hospital."

"No, cough, no need."

"Shut up."

After Zhou Chen carried Li Si on his back, he ran directly to the hospital.

"Zhou Chen." Cheng Miaomiao ran over and shouted hurriedly.

"Miaomiao, I'll take Li Si to the hospital. You go and notify his parents."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay."

Cheng Miaomiao also realized that Li Si was different from others. Just two months after surgery for cancer, he suddenly jumped into the water. If something happened, he would be in trouble.

Zhou Chen ran all the way. He started running, really faster than riding a bicycle, and soon arrived at the oil field hospital.

…………

After Li Dahai and Niu Lingling learned of the situation, they came to the hospital as quickly as possible, and then saw Zhou Chen and Cheng Pengfei outside the ward.

"Pengfei, Xiaochen, how is Li Si doing now?"

When they heard that Li Si was rescuing people from jumping off the bridge, especially Niu Lingling, they were so frightened that they almost fainted.

Li Si is different now from before. The surgery has just taken place and he is still in the observation period. If something goes wrong at this time, they really can't handle it.

Cheng Pengfei comforted: "Dahai, Lingling, don't worry. Zhou Chen sent it in time. He just checked Li Si. There is nothing serious for the time being. He just choked on water and his lungs may be affected a little. He is undergoing infusion." I will be hospitalized for a few days for observation.”

Zhou Chen has much more experience than Cheng Pengfei. He can roughly judge Li Si's situation. Li Si cannot swim. When he fell into the water, he choked and the water entered his lungs and trachea. Although he was rescued in time. It has improved, but there is still a high probability of lung infection, and in severe cases, pneumonia.

Li Dahai and Niu Lingling were still worried. They hurriedly walked into the ward and saw Li Si who was undergoing an infusion. At this time, Li Si had fallen asleep and Cheng Miaomiao was sitting next to him and staring.

Seeing that Li Si was in no danger, the couple relaxed a little, and Li Dahai patted Zhou Chen's shoulder gratefully.

"Brother, thank you, I really appreciate it. You saved Li Si once again. This brat can't even swim, yet he dares to save others. He's so reckless. He hasn't inherited any of my stability."

Niu Lingling was actually very dissatisfied in her heart. Even though Li Si saved her good sister, Li Si was her son. In such a situation, with so many people at the time, it was not Li Si's turn to save her.

But the matter had come to this, and she couldn't complain, especially when she saw Li Si lying on the hospital bed again, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Cheng Miaomiao said: "Uncle, Aunt Ling, you really can't blame Li Si this time. It happened so suddenly. He acted bravely and didn't even have time to think about it. Fortunately, Zhou Chen came in time and jumped down to rescue them. If If it were any later, the consequences would be disastrous.”

Even now, when she recalls the situation at that time, she still has lingering fears. If Zhou Chen hadn't arrived in time, she really couldn't imagine what the consequences would have been.

Niu Lingling and Li Dahai once again expressed their gratitude to Zhou Chen. They were really grateful to Zhou Chen. Twice in a row, Zhou Chen saved Li Si and was the great benefactor of their family.

Zhou Chen and Cheng Miaomiao went home together. On the way, Cheng Miaomiao also said to Zhou Chen very gratefully: "Zhou Chen, it's lucky to have you this time, otherwise something might have happened."

Zhou Chen smiled slightly and said: "It's not as serious as you think. Even without me, with so many people there at the time, someone would definitely have gone into the water to save people. Didn't Teacher Gao and Qiang Xiaowa also go into the water to help? I wasn't here. If so, there will be them.”

"That's different. The sooner you rescue him, the less dangerous he will be."

Hu Qiumin originally wanted to jump into the river today, but Hu Qiumin didn't jump in. Instead, Hu Yue jumped, taking Li Si with him. This also made Cheng Miaomiao understand why Hu Qiumin wanted to jump into the river so desperately.

Because the situation in their family was really suffocating, Hu Qiumin was about to jump into the river, but his parents were still arguing and quarreling there, which made her an outsider feel angry, let alone Hu Qiumin who was in this family atmosphere all day long. .

"You can enlighten Hu Qiumin more in the future. After what happened today, she should feel better."

Although Hu Qiumin didn't jump into the river today, she still vented her anger. If she gets angry at Yang Songbai again like in the plot, she will definitely be released after being suppressed for a long time, and she will no longer be so extreme. , did something like jumping into the river.

A week has passed in a flash, and the time has come to October. Because the National Day holiday will not be implemented until 1999, there is no seven-day National Day holiday yet.

On the second day of hospitalization, Li Si did develop a cold and fever, which was a lung infection. Fortunately, with timely infusion treatment, the pneumonia was under control, but he still needed to be hospitalized for a few days.

The oil base is so big, and the story of Hu Qiumin jumping into the river has spread. Many people in school and class have looked at Hu Qiumin strangely these days.

But Hu Qiumin didn't care. When she jumped into the river, she was surrounded by so many people. She didn't care anymore. Why would she still be afraid of being commented on by others?

However, Cheng Miaomiao was very unhappy and defended Hu Qiumin's injustice and tried to persuade Hu Qiumin.

"Xiao Min, don't worry about those guys who only talk about others behind their backs."

Hu Qiumin smiled and said: "Miao, don't worry about me. I don't care what others think of me. They talk about me behind my back and they won't let me lose any meat. It doesn't matter what they do."

Zhou Chen gave Hu Qiumin a thumbs up.

"Our Comrade Hu Qiumin has matured now, and that's actually true. You even scolded Yang Songbai so badly. How could you take those students seriously?"

Hu Qiumin frowned slightly, showing dissatisfaction: "Why do you say I look like a tigress? Am I that fierce?"

"I didn't say that. I was praising you for being a woman and a man, even a tomboy."

"Go away, you are a tomboy, I am a pure and beautiful girl."

Hu Qiumin shook her head, but then she realized that her hair had been cut off and now it was short and she couldn't shake it off.

"But Zhou Chen, I really didn't see it. You can actually swim, and your swimming skills are so good. You pulled my mother and Li Si out of the water by yourself. It's amazing."

Growing up in the base, whether it was Li Si, Cheng Miaomiao or Hu Qiumin, they were all landlubbers.

But even if they are not good at water, they understand how difficult it is for Zhou Chen to pull two people who can't swim out of the water by himself.

"That's necessary. This is really not bragging. I am definitely an expert among experts when it comes to water properties. If you want to learn how to swim, I can teach you."

Hu Qiumin quickly waved her hands: "No need, I have a problem with water now, and I will never learn to swim."

"That's such a pity. Let me tell you, there is actually a kind of beautiful scenery in the world called the undersea starry sky. If you dive under the sea, you can see the natural beauty that is similar to the starry sky, but different from the real starry sky. People who can't swim or dive are You will never see such beauty.”

Zhou Chen was also deeply impressed by the starry sky under the sea that could kill people.

Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin were both attracted by what Zhou Chen said.

"Really or not, you can still see the stars under the sea?"

"certainly."

Cheng Miaomiao said with great interest: "Listening to what you said, I am really interested. I will also learn to swim in the future. Then we can go see the starry sky under the sea together?"

Hu Qiumin shook his head again: "I won't go. I'd rather not look at the starry sky under the sea. I don't even want to learn how to swim, let alone dive to the bottom of the sea. It's scary just thinking about it."

The three of them walked and chatted. When they almost arrived home, Cheng Miaomiao said goodbye to Zhou Chen and Hu Qiumin and went home.

Li Si stayed in the hospital for a week and was discharged after all his symptoms recovered. He rested at home for another two days before putting on his schoolbag and going to school with Zhou Chen and the others.

"Oh, it's such a pity when you think about it. I obviously did something brave this time, but I didn't get any praise. Instead, I was scolded by my parents in turn."

While walking on the road, Li Si and Zhou Chen complained.

Cheng Miaomiao retorted without being polite at all: "You are right to act bravely, but you almost got yourself involved. Don't you know what your level is? If Zhou Chen hadn't arrived in time, you would have been in trouble. Next time Before rescuing others, consider yourself first and don’t be so impulsive.”

Li Si said depressedly: "I didn't have time to think so much at that time. When I saw Husband's mother jumping down, I rushed to catch her. Even if she fell into the water, I didn't let go."

"Li Si, I really want to thank you for what happened last time. As a daughter, I didn't even react at that time. Fortunately, I have you."

Although Hu Qiumin often harmed Li Si with Cheng Miaomiao, she was really grateful to Li Si from the bottom of her heart when she jumped into the river last time.

Being so grateful by Hu Qiumin, all the depression was swept away, and Li Si waved his hand proudly.

"That's right, Husband, no matter what our relationship is, it's all what I should do."

"Look how proud you are."

"Cheng Miaomiao, can't you say a few nice words to praise me?"

"No, I'm afraid if I praise you a few times, you'll be proud of yourself."

…………

"Dingle bell!"

The bell rang, and Han Shu announced that get out of class was over.

"Zhou Chen, come to the office with me."

"Um?"

Zhou Chen was a little confused, but he still stood up and followed him.

Arriving at the office, Han Shu took out several tapes from the drawer.

"These tapes are all English listening tapes. The midterm exam is coming soon. I know your English is very good, but you still need to listen to more English listening when you go back."

Taking the English listening tape from Han Shu, Zhou Chen was startled. Looking at Han Shu's serious look, he smiled.

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Han. I will definitely not let you down."

Han Shu corrected: "It's not that you don't let me down, it's that you don't let your family down, and don't let yourself down."

"clear."

Zhou Chen nodded and then talked about what happened in class just now.

"Teacher Han, in class just now, there was something wrong with what you said in one section, that is..."

Zhou Chen's English proficiency was definitely ahead of Han Shu's. Although Han Shu was an English teacher, her English proficiency could only be considered average, not particularly outstanding. He would know if there were any problems with what she said.

After listening to what Zhou Chen said, Han Shu looked surprised. Although there were only two differences, the meaning of what Zhou Chen said was very different from what she said. After thinking about it carefully, she actually felt that Zhou Chen Chen was right, she was indeed wrong.

This made her blush slightly. She was a teacher, but she made a mistake and asked Zhou Chen, a student, to tell her.

"Well, I understand. What you said is right. Keep it up in the future."

Zhou Chen saw Han Shu's embarrassment, so he left the office without saying anything more.

As soon as he returned to the classroom, Zhou Chen found that the atmosphere in the classroom was not right. Li Si sat in his seat with an unhappy look on his face, and Cheng Miaomiao and Hu Qiumin stood beside him; Liu Junbao in the front row was lying on the table crying, and several classmates around him were comforting him, and some of them looked at Li Si with unfriendly eyes.

"What's the situation?"

Hu Qiumin explained in a low voice: "Liu Junbao's father seems to be fired by Li Si's father, and he quarreled with Li Si for a few words."

"Is it this matter?"

There is this part in the plot, Liu Junbao's father Liu Gang, together with outsiders, stole oil from the factory and was caught red-handed.

This is a very serious matter, so the factory wants to expel him, but it happened that Li Dahai was the one who handled this matter. Liu Junbao and his mother did not dare to go to the factory leaders to argue, so they pushed all the responsibilities onto Li Dahai. Liu Junbao hated Li Si because of this, so the two of them had conflicts and quarrels in the class.

This matter was originally Liu Junbao's father's problem, but in the end it became Li Dahai's fault, and even Li Si was implicated. He was really wronged for no reason.

Zhou Chen patted Li Si's shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, why are you angry? It's the adults' business, and it has nothing to do with you. You have just been discharged from the hospital for a few days, why are you so angry?"

His comfort made Li Si feel better, and he muttered depressedly: "It has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with my father. He is just a small director. How can he have the power to fire people? It's not the decision of the factory leaders. Why are you venting your anger on me?"

Cheng Miaomiao also whispered a few words of persuasion. The class bell rang, so they returned to their seats.

Because of this incident, Li Si was in a bad mood all day. He didn't run out to play, but just lay on his seat. Cheng Miaomiao called him but didn't respond.
