The children who were initially enjoying the drama panicked when they saw Jiang Jiu and Jiang Siyan's heads bobbing up and down in the water and finally screamed for adults.
Fortunately, some adults nearby heard the children's cries and, with collective effort, used long bamboo poles to block Jiang Jiu and Jiang Siyan and gradually pulled them back to shore.
Because of the water they had choked on, the two of them ended up staying in the hospital for nearly half a month, terrifying Grandma Jiang and Grandpa Jiang.
But Jiang Jiu had a short memory. Even while in the hospital, she became exceptionally friendly with the doctors and nurses, coaxing them to go easy with the injections, and scrounging for fruit and candy every day to share with Jiang Siyan.
Reflecting on it now, Jiang Jiu had shown the makings of a journalist since she was young; during her hospital stay, she even wrote an article praising the hospital staff which earned her an excellent grade.
