Chapter 234: Heavy rain pours
Zhou Cuilan didn't try out Anxia, and the village chief was very annoyed, but Anxia hid in Cheng's house and didn't come out, he really couldn't help it for a while, and he was very busy with work today, because it had been raining heavily for three days and three nights in Wushi.
Wushi is located in the central plain, the city is composed of three towns, surrounded by two rivers, a Han River and a Yangtze River, Wushi is rich in water resources, known as the city of a thousand lakes, but this water is too much, it is not very good.
This year, the weather is abnormal, it began to be hot and dry in early April, and in late April, you can wear short sleeves, and the rainy season in June is just a few light rains occasionally, and the villagers of Shanpo Village say that this year is dry, and the rain is not good, and the weather is hot as if to evaporate all the water.
But suddenly, the Wushi Weather Forecast Management Center issued several rainstorm warnings in a row, and the sky suddenly sank.
An earth-shattering thunder, kicked off the prelude to the rainstorm, mixed with the compelling wind, the pouring rain is like a stone, hitting the body of the painful, do not play the umbrella, just go out of the house will be drenched into the soup chicken, the arrival of this heavy rain, to the drought of rice seedlings brought rich water resources, to the dry fields filled with water.
The heavy rain also brought coolness, the temperature of more than 30 degrees of exposure, instantly became more than 20 degrees, cool and comfortable, some of us took the opportunity to work in the fields, some sat at home to rest, of course, the work of the end also ran home, the rain hit the body and hurt not to say, the rain water kept flowing down from the top of the head, just like someone brought a basin of water, without intermittent water anytime and anywhere, the water has covered the eyes, and how to work.
On the first day, the men sitting at home ate the good dishes cooked by their daughters-in-law, and the monkey children ran and danced in the rain, and everyone was very happy about the arrival of the rainstorm.
After a day of rain, the rice fields were full of water, and the big and small pits in the village were also filled with rainwater, and the low-lying tree pits were all filled with water.
On the second day, the heavy rain continued, and everyone sat in the house, looking at the heavy sky outside, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the glass, and everyone hoped that the rain would stop and that the rain would not fall again.
But the rain is still unabated, many villagers living in old houses, there are large water stains on the walls of their homes, and some roofs have begun to leak, and everyone begins to look forward to the rain stopping.
An Xia, who lives in Cheng's house, looked at the local TV station in Wu City, and heard that in the past six hours, the average rainfall in Wu City has reached 100 milliliters, which is equivalent to giving Wu City thirteen East Lake water, East Lake is the largest lake in Wu City, there is no edge in sight, and the water is very deep, thirteen East Lakes splashed in Wu City.
Rural people don't understand this, but everyone can see that the road in the past is no longer visible, all are water, some families live in low-lying areas, water actually overflows into the yard from the outside, suddenly a thunderstorm, the whole village power outage, nothing.
Everyone began to panic, and the old people began to smoke and sigh, saying that the sky was pierced by the dragon king, and this rain was going to be a disaster.
There is no electricity, fortunately, it is not hot, every household has grain and vegetables, but every household has a heavy heart, like a lead-colored dark cloud in the sky, this rain is like this, the rice seedlings are about to be drowned.
An Jiaye braved the heavy rain to go to the field and opened several irrigation ditches, but he found that it was useless, because there was too much water in the whole field, and there was no place to flow.
The rainstorm shows no signs of stopping, it just takes a short rest, occasionally turning from heavy rain to moderate rain, but after a while, after resting, the heavy rain is mixed with the wind, the Cheng family's house is a cement and brick house, but it is very solid, the window is closed, not a drop of rain can come in.
An Xia looked at the sky outside with heavy eyes, hoping that the rain would stop soon, because her grandmother lived in a fifty or sixty-year-old house, which was built by her grandfather with adobe.
And the tiles on the roof are all old tiles that have been used for twenty or thirty years, they have long been broken, it used to rain heavily outside, it rained lightly in the house, and the walls were full of water stains, which were all rained down, and after all the soil clods were wet, the water seeped in from the outside, so Anxia would replace the wall with new calendar paper every year.
Otherwise, the white paper on the wall is all like a child's diaper, and there are lumps of yellow water stains everywhere, which makes you feel disgusting to look at.
Anxia was a little worried that her grandfather could build a house back then, and whether he could survive this year's rainstorm.
"Grandpa Cheng, is it going to rain again?"
Seeing Cheng Dezhong looking out of the window with solemn eyes, An Xia couldn't help but feel more worried.
Cheng Dezhong sighed, "I'm afraid that in the second half of this year, there will be no harvest, hey!" ”
There was no electricity, I couldn't watch the TV, and I didn't know what the weather forecast said, Anxia looked at the gloomy rainy day outside, and her heart was also sullen.
And her grandfather's house, which she was worried about, had leaked into a water curtain hole, and it was An Jiaqing's turn to take care of the old lady in the house in the past two days, and now An Jiaqing is the main force to take care of the old lady, the eldest An Jiaguo was hospitalized, and he became the boss, he wanted the third brother to top the eldest brother's class, but the third child directly gave An Jiaqing thirty yuan, only saying that his share was also troublesome to the second brother, and he didn't come.
An Jiaqing was really happy for a few days when he first got the money, and told his daughter-in-law Li Juhua that when the time comes, he will ask the boss for thirty yuan, so that the old lady can earn ninety a month, which is more cost-effective.
Li Juhua was not happy, her husband made money to work by himself, until An Jiaqing gave her thirty yuan, she was happy, anyway, it was not difficult to greet the old lady, she would eat one meal a day, and only give a shallow cup of water to drink, and there was a lot less feces and urine than before.
But who knew that after the heavy rainstorm, first the old lady's house leaked and could not live, in addition to the water leakage, occasionally a piece of mud fell down, and then Anxia's house could not be lived, and it was also leaking everywhere, so the two could only move the bed to the hall house, and found two places where the leakage was not so bad, and there were a few basins on the bed, curled up at a dry foot.
Looking at the torrential rain outside, Li Juhua felt a little unspeakably scared in her heart, and Yang Jinying was also uncomfortable.
The meat that was raised with great difficulty before is all gone in these days, and it used to be the turn of the third and fourth to take care of it, eat a full meal, and the fourth child also washed clothes and wiped his body.
But now it's Li Chrysanthemum every day, no food is given and no water is given, the old lady is lying on the bed, her eyes are cloudy, after the rain is heavy, the small kitchen with linoleum in the yard is also leaking, the firewood is also wet, and there is no hot food at home.
Eat hard steamed buns and drink cold water every day, and every bite of the steamed buns swallowed is like a sharp blade, pulling your throat and eyes.
