Dinner is simple, sweet potatoes and dried corn grits, fried shiitake mushrooms with green vegetables, onion cold fungus, pepper eggs, all ready-made at home.

"It's been so busy, God can't stand it, let's take a good rest." Mu Xiu said with a smile.

"Rest early, tomorrow the rain will stop, and I don't know if the sesame soybeans in the field will have an impact." Chen Xuhui said worriedly.

"Don't think too much, it's not a flood, a few rains are fine." Mu Xiu reassured.

"Yes." Chen Xuhui nodded, held an umbrella, and went home.

Mu Xiu lay on the bed, listening to the rumbling thunder outside and the sound of heavy rain pouring on the ground, his heart was extremely peaceful, and he fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Mu Xiu was woken up by the crackling sound of the window, but unexpectedly, the heavy rain that fell all night did not stop, but became bigger and bigger, like a beaded curtain covering the earth, and the rain wandered down from under the eaves, like a rushing stream.

Zhou Shuilian was already cooking on the fire, and Mu Xiaocao was chopping the vegetables eaten by chickens, ducks and geese next to her.

"I'll go to the field in a while, and the rain is so heavy that don't drown the crops." Mu Xiu saw that the water under the eaves had accumulated small puddles, and if it wasn't for the good drainage in the courtyard, I am afraid that the water would have reached the calves at this time.

"Chen Xuhui and he have already gone to the field, saying that it is not in the way, our crops are on high ground, even if there is standing water, dig a few ditches and divert them to the side." Mu Xiaocao replied without raising his head.

"Hurry up and eat, after eating, go and feed the chickens, ducks and geese, as well as cows and pigs, I see that the hens are clucking non-stop today, and they should be scared." Zhou Shuilian lifted the pot and began to serve rice.

Mu Xiu looked at the raindrops outside the window, it was already dark in the early morning, and he couldn't see the end of the sky, and he was a little depressed in his heart, but for Chen Xuhui, it was a rare opportunity, although he did not give up studying these days, but he did not make much progress, he had to do heavy farm work during the day, and he was so tired that he couldn't open his eyes when he went back at night, and he fell asleep many times when he wrote with a pen, and when he got up in the morning and looked at it, he didn't even know what he was writing.

In the morning, Chen Xuhui went to the field early to read it, returned to the house, took out the book and began to read, Li Pandi also pestered Mu Xiu to tell her a story, the rain outside was loud, Xiaohua lay there sleeping Huhuxiang, Mu Xiaocao and Zhou Shuilian also took out cotton cloth, ruler and needlework, and made summer sweatshirts.

Mu Xiu hadn't relaxed like this for a long time, and after lunch, he couldn't hold on to his kung fu and fell asleep quickly. When she woke up in the afternoon, the rain was still falling, not only was it not small at all, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

Mu Xiu got dressed, held up an umbrella, went out to take a look, opened the door of the backyard, the outside was already muddy, although the land behind the house was not flooded, but the sesame seeds with shells looked extremely thin in the rain, as if they would fall down at any time.

Mu Xiu originally wanted to go to the village to see the rice, but after walking for a while, the soles of his feet were covered with a thick layer of mud, and the more he walked, the more he smuggled, and his heavy legs couldn't lift up, so he had to give up.

This rain has been falling for four days in a row and still has no intention of stopping, the rain in the sky still seems to be endless, Mu Xiu couldn't help frowning, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it's going to be flooded.

Because of the heavy rain, Mu Xiu's family stayed at home all day long, doing needlework, learning and learning, Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui, but they went to the field in their clothes and dug a lot of drainage ditches.

"Brother Chen, what's like this outside?" Mu Xiu looked at Chen Xuhui, who had just come back from outside, and asked.

"The rice in the village, originally only five or six points full of water due to the drought, has now risen to nine points full, and the water in the low-lying houses in the village is up to the knees." Chen Xuhui said with palpitations.

Mu Xiu's house and land, are in a high place, although this rainy day is terrible, except for no fresh vegetables to eat, but there is no impact, but the houses by the river and the houses under the village are not so lucky, all of them are bitter, Chen Xiangyang is even more anxious to fill his mouth with blisters, the rice field is full of water, there is no big problem, the key is that several of their households have raised fish, these days, everyone is braving the heavy rain to raise the ridges, fortunately, when the fish were raised, it has been raised once, otherwise, By this time, the fish in it had already run out.

"If the rain doesn't stop, the rice will be fine, I'm afraid that the fish in the rice field will run away." After listening to Chen Xuhui's words, Mu Xiu felt a strong worry in his heart.

In fact, not only Mu Xiu thought of it, but also many villagers who did not catch up with the rice field to raise fish, and many of them gloated while secretly glad that they did not raise fish together.

In the evening, as soon as Mu Xiu's family finished eating, he heard someone calling outside the door, Zhou Shuilian went out with an umbrella to open the door, and saw that it was Chen Xiangyang, the village party secretary, and hurriedly let him come into the hall.

Mu Xiu didn't expect Chen Xiangyang to come over, so he quickly stood up, greeted him, and asked strangely, "Uncle Chen, it's raining heavily, why are you here?" ”

Mu Xiaocao hurriedly brought a bowl of hot sugar water and put it in front of Chen Xiangyang.

Chen Xiangyang came to Mu Xiu's house for the second time, although he came to the bottom of the pot last time, he just felt that the green bricks on the ground were very beautiful, but he came today, but he sighed in his heart, even if it rained, the yard was clean, not with his own home, muddy, the ground in Mu Xiu's house was cleaner than his shoes and trouser legs.

"Ah, look at me, it's all muddy." Chen Xiangyang was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, take the water and rinse it in a while, don't get in the way, don't get in the way, you drink hot water, this weather, be careful of catching a cold." Mu Xiu said enthusiastically.

Chen Xiangyang's body was a little cold, and he was warmed by Mu Xiu's words.

"I thought that the rain would stop in a few days, but I didn't expect that it would fall more and more, and I saw that it couldn't stop, in the rice field, I took them to strengthen and raise it twice, but I still couldn't withstand the more and more water, and the big cow family went to me this morning, saying that the ridge collapsed a small piece, and there were already fish running away." Chen Xiangyang frowned, sighed, and looked at Mu Xiu with eager eyes, "Mu Xiu, what should I do now?" ”

Mu Xiu pondered for a while, and then said slowly: "Uncle Chen, make a few more water outlets in the original water outlet to increase the drainage capacity, the fish ditch in the rice field is easy to collapse, you must patrol every day, right now, you must let the people in the rice field flow, in and out at the same time, so that it is not easy to collapse." ”

Mu Xiu thought for a while, and added: "Then use the pumping machine to pump out the water in the rice field." ”
