Chapter 11: Heavy Rain

The bud rice sorghum is planted, and the land behind the house is almost finished, and there is a little ridge side field, grandpa planted pumpkins, watermelons and sunflowers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info there are a few points of green onions, green onions are planted after autumn every year, to spend a winter in the ground, germinate in the spring, at this time has a green tip.

The land in the front yard is more miscellaneous, kidney beans, cowpeas, cucumbers, eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, leeks, lettuce, garlic, a small piece, a small piece of each kind of planting, this thing is ripe can not be put away, planted more is also thrown away, even to eat a little and leave a little seed, it does not use much land. It is more troublesome to grow kidney beans and cucumbers, so you have to build a shelf for it.

Zhang Xingming and his brother each had two wooden poles, the lower heads were inserted into the soil, and the upper heads were crossed together, and the grandfather used the cut rattan to tie the four wooden poles together and tie them together, and the little brothers ran to get two each, and the grandfather tied them again. The wooden pole is a kind of branch cut from the mountain, which is white and tough, and I don't know what it is called. There is no bamboo in the Northeast.

After the ridge is completed, it is necessary to use branches to connect the shelves together and tie them up. In this way, the shelves will not fall over after being weighted.

The cucumber rack is different from the kidney bean rack, because the ripe cucumber is very heavy, and the requirements for the rack are higher. It should be like building a shed, with poles and vines, and the adult-shaped shape should be built between the ridges, one for two ridges, and not with branches, but with real wooden poles.

The land is not big, and the three of them have all the shelves set up in a few days.

In this way, the spring ploughing of their own family is over, and then the grandparents have to participate in the spring ploughing of the production team, planting sorghum soybeans and peanuts, going to work every day, and the children do not have to work, free activities. The children began to be active, going up and down the mountain and down the river were busy, and the mountains were full of groups of children, running and screaming and laughing, provoking chickens and dogs to jump, this is the most lively time of the year in the mountain village.

The work in the field is almost over, and spring is almost over.

At this time, the mountains were already green, the catkins had flown by, the trees had grown with new leaves, and even the pines and cypresses had changed their ink clothes and put on national defense green.

The tall poplar tree has been strung up, the locust tree has also sent new thorns, all kinds of small flowers all over the mountains and fields are popping up under the grass and trees, at a glance, the white, blue, purple, red, yellow, pink, big, small, tall standing on the grass, the short ones are hidden in the bushes, or three or two dots in the grass, or a bunch of bunches of windward blows, the whole world is dyed with vitality, large and small butterflies of all colors are flying among the grass and flowers, busy, the clear stream meanders through this scene, the river reflects the blue sky and green grass, flashing in the sun, a bay of blue is a beating songใ€‚

The mountains are full of flowers, the vegetation is abundant, and summer is coming. Compared with the long winter, the spring and summer in the Northeast seem very short, but more intense, just like the summer rain in the Northeast. The rain in the northeast is completely different from the south, the rain in the south is gentle, lingering, a rain is a day or two or even a week, the rain in the northeast is violent, the same amount of water, the south is three or four days, and the northeast only takes two or three hours.

The chickens walked in the yard, pecking a few stones from time to time, the pigs lazily lay in the sun and basking their bellies, making a few satisfied hums, the cat squatted on the windowsill and licked its paws slowly, Zhang Xingming sat on the stone platform under the eaves to put himself sleepy, and his brother sat beside him with a few wickers to weave hats. Grandma and Grandpa were busy in the vegetable garden, not knowing whether they were hoeing or doing, talking and playing slowly.

The sky was varanvaran, floating with white clouds, sometimes like a veil, sometimes like a mountain, and more like a large patch of fish scales, attached to the blue background.

Then a gust of wind suddenly blew over, and the wind was still warm, and the tail of the wind carried some cool air. The first one was still gentle, and the latter was violent, and the floating sand on the ground hit the windowpane, crackling, and the wind was more rapid, and the whining of the wind sounded in the sky, and everything that could move shook in the wind at this moment. The wind is cooler. The floating clouds in the sky, which had been quiet just now, seemed to have something urgent at this time, and quickly ran towards the east.

Grandma put down the work in his hand and hurried out of the vegetable garden, grandma went to cover the sauce jar, pressed a stone on the lid of the jar, took off the clothes drying on the wooden tent, and shouted as she walked into the house: "Enter the house, enter the house, it's raining." Zhang Xingming and his brother followed his grandmother into the house and climbed onto the kang.

Grandpa is installing windows. At this time, the windows in the rural areas of Northeast China were divided into two sections, the upper part was pasted with window paper, and the lower section was glass. The upper half of the window is opened with a wooden stick and turned up, and the lower half of the window is taken off and put aside. Grandpa put the lower half of the window in place, twisted the small wooden block on the window frame, clamped the window steadily, and then lowered the upper half of the window. By the time the four windows in front and back were completed, the gray sand blown into the sky could already be seen on the gravel pavement of National Defense Road, making the sky look dark.

The branches and leaves of all the trees were tilting and shaking in one direction, making a rattling sound, and the grass was rippling like water. The chickens cooed and huddled in a pile under the eaves, and the old cat also entered the house, crowded around Zhang Xingming, and lay on the windowsill with his front paws like Zhang Xingming, looking out of the window.

Grandpa and grandpa just cleaned up and closed the door and sat down, the sky outside suddenly darkened, and a thick ink-like black cloud surged over the Xishan Pass, and when I saw it, it was still above the pass, and the next glance was already overhead, and the wind was more violent, with a breath of moisture, the animals in the yard screamed, and there were adults shouting and running outside the yard. Suddenly, the sky, which had darkened, brightened, and with a deafening thunderclap, the rain poured down.

The sky was completely dark in an instant, and in the afternoon, I couldn't see my five fingers, only to see lightning flying like a silver snake in the mountains, and I couldn't hear anything else between heaven and earth except the sound of falling rain, Zhang Xingming and his brother lay on the glass window and looked out, but they could only see their reflection in the light.

Suddenly, a reddish lightning bolt swept through the air, illuminating the distant mountains and land in an instant, the thunder sounded like pressing on the roof, the lights trembled in the thunder, Zhang Xingming, his brother and the old cat sat next to each other on the kang in front of the window, quietly looking at the darkness outside. Feel the power of nature.

After a while, the sky gradually began to brighten, and gradually I could see things, the mountains and forests in the distance became hazy and looming, and the houses in the distance seemed to be moving, and the dim light was emitted through the glass windows. At this time, I saw that the heaven and the earth seemed to be pulled up a water curtain, from time to time in the wind to change the shape, a straight fall and a will be oblique, the yard has been full of water, forming a stream with the depth of the adult's instep, the water flows down the national defense roadbed, into the stream in the yard, and then flows out of the courtyard gate, into the small river outside.

The black clouds in the sky gradually became transparent, as if they were flying high all of a sudden, the feeling of pressing on the top of the head gradually dissipated, the wind gradually became lighter, the raindrops fell vertically, hitting everything on the ground, the trees in the yard had risen again, and the verdant trees on the mountains had shed their dust and become verdant.

It seemed like a long time, and in an instant, the rain had already passed, leaving wet footprints.

A rainbow rose from the top of the mountain, birds flapped their wings and flew up, and a crisp chirping resounded in the valley.

Except for the damp air and the dripping water droplets on the eaves and the muddy ground in the yard, the rain left nothing, the sun shone on the earth again, the mist rose in the mountains and forests, everything seemed so fresh, even the air was refreshing, only the mountain breeze was still cool, blowing down the drops of water on the trees.

Coming violently, going resolutely, this is the rain in the northeast.

With the fall of several rains, the weather began to get hotter and hotter, and before you know it, summer has arrived, and the artemisia grass all over the mountains has turned dark green, more than one meter high, and the low ones are densely spread on the ground, and the crops in the field have grown into a large piece of green gauze tent, and the wind blows through the formation of rolling green waves, rustling. At this time, the children in the fort ran to Nangou, which was the largest area of sorghum land in the team and had many fruit trees.

So there were more children playing together, jumping up and down, and the older children climbed the fruit tree, picking the unripe fruit, and saw who could eat more, and those who ate were covered with sour teeth and jumped, and laughed around the watch. Then there is which child eats and has diarrhea, in exchange for an adult beating.

My brother is involved, but he doesn't eat raw fruits stupidly, he always tricks other children into eating them, he laughs on the side. Zhang Xingming watched and felt the fun.
