The rain grew heavier, thunder rang out, and lightning streaked across the sky, as if to tear a hole in the sky.

Xiaoquanzi Village is surrounded by mountains, and the rain can't slip out at the first time, and after a while, the water has reached the crook of the leg.

Qiao Xi has always been afraid of thunder, but now she seems to have forgotten everything, and her mind is only about the houses of those poor households, and she runs forward with her legs crazy again and again.

The worst few lame families in the whole village, the outermost half-man-high earthen wall has been drenched by the rain, and the houses inside are leaking in many places, and there are a few small bowls on the ground, and the rain is dripping inside, and soon the water is full, and it flows everywhere.

Zhang's lame old mother hugged her five-year-old girl tightly on the kang, the wind roared and blew the window, and the sky outside was even more thunderous, and she was already crying in fright, hugging her grandmother tightly in the quilt.

Her lips were trembling, her voice was pitiful, and her big eyes were full of tears, "Grandma, you're scared." ”

The old mother leaned on the kang head, and gently patted Nannan's back with her rough palm, "Nannan, don't be afraid, there is grandma with you." ”

Her voice was small, and her old eyes were half-lifted and flickered occasionally, revealing a deep sadness in them.

The rain dripped from time to time on the cloth above her head, and the quilt was wet, but she didn't have the strength to move her body again. When I got up just now and went to put a bowl on the ground to catch the rainwater, my weak body was blown by the cold wind, and I felt uncomfortable. Even though I'm covered with a quilt now, I'm still shivering with cold.

Nannan's head came out of the quilt, and she hesitantly put her hand on grandma's forehead, and her eyes blinked, "Grandma, your head is so hot." ”

"Grandma is fine, go to sleep, and when you fall asleep, you won't be afraid of anything." The old mother's eyes couldn't be opened, she gasped for breath, and her lips squirmed slightly.

The thunder outside was still ringing, but Nan Nan stopped crying, and her little body crawled out of the quilt and stuck her forehead to her grandmother's forehead.

Grandma had a fever.

Nan Nan became nervous, and her immature voice called out to her grandmother several times.

The old mother hummed a few lowly, and no longer had the strength to raise her eyes.

Nan Nan stayed by the old mother's side for a long time, her little forehead wrinkled, as if she was thinking about the rarest thing in the world.

She dragged the quilt on the old mother's body with all her might, carefully climbed off the kang, rummaged in the drawer for a while, and couldn't find cold medicine, and her anxious tears fell.

She hesitantly walked out of the back room, looked at the crackling rain outside the courtyard, and swallowed in fear.

But in the next moment, she rushed out without hesitation.

"Grandma, you wait for me, I will go to your neighbor's Uncle Zhang's house to borrow some cold medicine."

The water in the yard had reached the root of Nannan's legs, and she was shivering all over her body from the cold, and the thunder in the sky made her even more afraid. Covering his ears and crying, he ran out.

When I opened the door, the water outside was even deeper, and I didn't step on it, and I fell headlong and was instantly submerged by the water.

Seeing that he was about to be washed out by the water, a figure rushed over in horror, bent down and grabbed the soaked girl, and hugged it vigorously in his arms.

"What are you doing on a rainy day? Do you want to die? Qiao Xi swept the flashlight over Nan Nan Nan and shouted angrily.

Nan Nan blinked her eyes, saw that it was Qiao Xi, and cried with a wow, "Sister, go and save grandma, grandma has a fever, Nan Nan can't find cold medicine." ”

Qiao Xi's tears suddenly fell, the five-year-old Nan Nan had a sensible person who did not match her age, and it looked so distressing.

The first house she and Qian Xifeng came to was Nannan's house, and when the two of them were in the alley, Qian Xifeng went to knock on the door of the third child of the Zhang family, do the work, and let their family settle Nannan and her grandmother.

Qiao Xi first ran towards here, and then saw the scene of Nan Nan falling into the water, she rushed back to the back room with Nan Nan in her arms, the old mother on the kang had fallen into a coma, Qiao Xi pinched her people a few times before she woke up quietly.

"Secretary Qiao......" just said a few words, and it was a cough.

"Auntie, don't talk yet, the family has leaked like this, I'll place you in a neighbor's house first." She moved the old mother to the side of the kang little by little, then took off the raincoat on her body, put it on the old mother, and bent down in front of her, "Auntie, I will carry you." ”

The old mother's hot tears flowed down, and she snorted a little, "Child, if you give me the raincoat, you will be drenched in the cold." ”

At this moment, Qiao Xi is a girl in her eyes, not the first secretary of the village.

"It's not a few steps away, I'm young and I don't have anything to do." Qiao Xi spoke again, and the old mother leaned on her shoulder. She gritted her teeth hard, hugged the old mother's legs tightly with her backhand, and advised: "Auntie, you hold my neck tightly, don't let go." ”

The old mother clung to Qiao Xi's back and let her carry her out of the house.

"Don't go anywhere, wait for me at home, I'll be back soon." Qiao Xi turned his head and shouted at Nannan.

She sat down on the small bench obediently, put her little hands on her knees, and nodded honestly.

Qiao Xi braved the rain and rushed out of the door outside, sweat and rain continued to flow on his body, and the road under his feet was full of potholes, because the rain was already below his knees, so he could only grope forward with small wings.

In front of him is Zhang Laosan's home, he came to Qiao Xi some time ago to ask for a place for the renovation of a dilapidated house, because he was rejected by Qiao Xi, and he has always been angry in his heart. If Qiao Xi came to knock on the door of his house, he would definitely not open it, but it was Qian Xifeng, who also told him about the old mother of Zhang Cripple.

He stood in the door with an umbrella, watched Qiao Xi come over with his old mother on his back, hurriedly propped up the umbrella, and led the way in front without saying a word, until he was led to their side bedroom.

Zhang Laosan's daughter-in-law and Qian Xifeng were cleaning up the quilt on the kang inside, Qiao Xi put the old mother on the kang, took off the raincoat on her body and quickly covered her with the quilt, and quickly added to Qian Xifeng: "Aunt Zhang should have a fever, find some medicine for him to eat." ”

With that, she put on her raincoat and ran out the door again.

Zhang Laosan stomped his feet angrily, and there were a bunch of sarcastic words brewing in his stomach just now, but he didn't give him time, and Qiao Xi ran away.

Qiao Xi returned to Zhang Cripple's house, and sat obediently on a small stool waiting for her, because she had been planted in the water before, her whole body was trembling, and her teeth were creaking and fighting.

Qiao Xi hurriedly went to the back room and found a small quilt, wrapped it around her body, unbuttoned her raincoat, hugged her in her arms, and ran out of the room again.

She returned to Zhang Laosan's house, handed over the Nannan to Zhang Laosan's daughter-in-law, and briefly inquired about Zhang's lame mother's situation.

"I've already taken fever-reducing medicine, and I'll be fine when I sweat." Qian Xifeng replied.

Qiao Xi nodded and said decisively, "Sister Qian, let's go to other homes." ”

Zhang Laosan was burning a fire on the stove outside, planning to heat the kang and sweat Zhang's lame mother. Seeing Qiao Xi coming out of the house, he quickly stood up, he didn't say a few words to her, he was upset, but before he could open his mouth, Qiao Xi had already hurriedly walked past him.

When Qiao Xi arrived at the courtyard, he suddenly paused again, turned around and shouted to Zhang Laosan: "Brother Zhang, on behalf of the Xiaoquanzi Village Committee, thank you." ”

With that, she bent down deeply in the rain......

The next moment, she suddenly turned around and ran to other difficult families in the rain.

The rain in the sky has no intention of stopping, she and Qian Xifeng have always been in the division of labor, she went to transfer the difficult households out of the house, and Qian Xifeng first went to the neighborhood to find a family that could be resettled. If you have children or relatives nearby, ask them to come and help.

Most of the poor households are old, weak, sick and disabled, and Qiao Xi is worried that they will fall on the road, bend down again and again, and carry their ...... again and again

The shoulders that are not broad carry the hope of others and the reverence for life.

She is no longer her mother's delicate daughter, she is a party member and a resident cadre of Xiaoquanzi Village.

After more than two hours of transfer, she had already collapsed, the sweat on her body never stopped at all, and when she went to the last difficult household, she fell into the knee-high rainwater.
