Entering the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar, it was the hottest time in previous years, but this year it has been raining for days. The high school entrance examination was held on June 20th, and at this time, Zimei had been on holiday for half a month.

"Sister, I'll go to you too. Zijun called home and heard her sister say this.

"No, I can't. ”

"But ...... at home"

"You don't have to worry about it at home, the debts you owe will always be paid off one day, and once the opportunity is lost, there will never be again. "When I think that I often dream that I am still studying in school, I feel more tormented.

"Sister, if you can't get into a middle school, you won't be able to go to it. "It's been half a month since the exam, and probably the score is already in her heart, and it's estimated that it's a bit hanging to enter Longcheng No. 1 Middle School. It's not impossible, it's relatively unlikely. If you can get into the best middle school in the county, you have a much better chance of going to college, and it is worth working hard for a few years. But what if she can't get in? My sister is so hard, can she continue to sit in the classroom with peace of mind?

"Zimei, sister believes that you are a smart girl. Entering a middle school does not necessarily mean entering a safe, the key depends on your own efforts. In the past year, my sister knows that you have worked hard, and my sister believes that as long as you can continue to work hard, you can be admitted to a good university no matter where you are."

My brother's tuition fee The third grandfather promised to continue to help, and he has earned his own living expenses through work-study, and when he graduates, the family situation will be much better, and the difficulties are only temporary. It's enough for her to be the one who can't go to school, even if her sister can't get into a middle school, she has to let her continue to study.

The food in the cafeteria, even though he has eaten it for a year, still can't get used to it, and after a few bites, Zijun lost his appetite.

"Zijun, your hometown is in the Lake District, right?" Yao Zi looked at Zijun's remaining half of the bowl of rice. I remember calling home yesterday and hearing from my father that the weather this year was particularly bad, and it rained heavily every day. Although the mountainous areas are not as flooded as the lake areas, they are also afraid of mudslides.

"Well, the shore of Dongting Lake. "The eight hundred miles of the sunset of the Dongting smoke and waves, now only less than five hundred miles, she lives within the three hundred miles of the reduction, around the lake to create fields, are made of sediment siltation, the land is fertile, the water and grass are abundant, and the production is abundant, which is the most proud of the hometown people in previous years. However, in the past few years of flooding, nature seems to warn people of greed and selfishness, and the walled embankments have burst one after another, and people have been displaced.

"Then isn't it dangerous for you there?" She naturally knew the situation of Zijun's family, and if there was another big flood, it would be tantamount to making it worse.

"Well, I hope I can get through it. Zijun smiled at Yao Zi gratefully, lowered his head and ate a few more bites of food, his body couldn't collapse.

For several days in a row, there was bad news on television, and many places had broken their banks and floods were raging. This is no longer a matter of a small place, CCTV news is broadcast every day, and the affected areas and the number of people affected are rising every day, and Zijun's hometown is a hard-hit area.

"Ah Zi, will you go for a run with me?" I was in a dull mood for a long time, and I suddenly wanted to experience the feeling of sweating, otherwise I would be suffocated to death. The rain wasn't out of her control, but she wanted to keep her mood in check.

"Ahh

"Come on, stay with me, and I'll treat you to a barbecue in a moment." Zijun pulled Yao Zi's arm and ran out, and not far from it was a leisure square, which was just right for running.

"Oh, I'm so tired that I can't run. After only running for about ten minutes, Yao Zi refused to run one more step and supported his waist with both hands, and stood there panting with his back hunched.

"It's been less than a year since I graduated, and I've regressed a lot. Zijun panted while spinning in circles, she grew up in the countryside, and what she was best at was running.

"When I was in school, I was most afraid of running. Yao Zi remembered the time when she was studying, she could hide when she ran, run slower and wait for the one in front to catch up, she could run one less lap, if Zijun didn't have to pull her to run today, she wouldn't have done it alive or dead.

"I love to run, and I feel refreshed when I sweat it. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zijun really felt that he was much weaker than before. Since entering the factory, she has been either a workshop or a dormitory all day long, and she rarely even goes out for a walk, let alone runs. Although I was tired, my mood was a little brighter.

The bad news is still coming, although I have already thought about it, natural disasters are not something I can control, Zijun's mood will still be affected to some extent, and when I think of my father's efforts for half a year and have to go down the drain, my heart is still stuffed. The data reported on television has been refreshed again and again, and it has changed from a few decades to a once-in-a-century catastrophic flood, and Zijun's hometown is also the place most severely affected, and Premier Zhu has already gone to inspect it. She has been calling home every week lately, hoping that her father will move out of the dangerous place sooner and stop living on the side of the flood storage wall.

However, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, how can Chen Zhili be willing to give up? The preparations for escaping at any time are ready, but no one wants to leave early, just because they are peasants, and there are still many people like him who still stick to this land, and that is the foundation of their survival. Chen Zhili's body has been much better after nearly a year of recuperation, but recently because he was worried about farming, he was a little overwhelmed, he lost a lot of weight, and he also gave birth to a lot of gray hair, Wang Lanfang felt distressed on the side.

The power of the once-in-a-century catastrophic flood disaster was really huge, and Zijun's hometown was also looted.

News on flood relief is broadcast on television all day long, and disaster relief materials are also being delivered to the disaster areas. Since the embankment burst, the phone of Chen Zi's family in the group has been unable to get through, and Zijun can only learn about the situation at home through TV, but fortunately, there are no reports of casualties. After a few days, the weather finally cleared up, the temperature in northern Hunan was rising, the flood was slowly receding, and the news of rebuilding homes was also broadcast on TV. The third uncle is used to watching the news, and he told her excitedly that day,

"Zijun, Premier Zhu went to inspect us, saying that he wanted to emigrate to build a town, and all the residents on our side would move to the city. Chen Zhixiao said this, his face was full of irrepressible joy.

"Immigrant to build a town?" Zijun didn't quite understand.

"That's right, it is said that it is to return the land to the lake and level the flood. The government will give each family a housing base, and those who are willing to move will also be given a subsidy of 10,000 yuan. "No wonder the third uncle is so excited, his house is basically uninhabitable after the flood in 95 years. I originally planned to rebuild it in the same place this year, but now I can move to the outskirts of the city, with a foundation and a housing fund, which is not too good.

"Dad, when are we going to move our family?" Zijun asked Chen Zhili on the phone. Their house survived two floods. I remember that after the first time the water receded, there were cracks in the wall, and now it is ......

"Let's live together first, maybe the rest of the place will be better. It's still just a plan, and it should be a while before it is implemented. "Dad doesn't say that Zijun also understands that the key reason is money.

The government attaches great importance to this relocation operation, and the state financial allocation is in place very quickly. After all, it was once a wealthy township, and some families still had a lot of background, and the first batch of people quickly participated in the relocation operation, and Chen Zhixiao also took leave to go home to repair the house. Zijun also took this opportunity to ask Chen Zhixiao to bring some things back to his family, and the happiest thing was that Zimei was successfully admitted to Longcheng No. 1 Middle School with a score of one point above the score line.
