The carriage galloped along the boulevard, and the sound of the bells on the neck of the big white horse and the clattering of the horse's hooves under the feet overlapped and rang rhythmically, and these scorching sounds drifted all the way through the dense shade and spread far away. A cool breeze blew through the sky, and the branches of the trees on both sides of the road began to shake wildly, and a storm was coming.

Xiaohong's mother raised her eyes to see the mossy sky, and she immediately became nervous. The sky that was clear just now suddenly darkened, and a large area of dark clouds quickly gathered and pressed low to the ground, like a huge python, constantly rolling in front of him.

Another gust of wind passed, and the rumbling thunder, a rush of thunder, exploded in the sky. The summer rain is falling rapidly, and it comes as soon as it is said, leaving no respite. Xiaohong's mother looked at the cloudy sky, she was so frightened that she quickly curled her head in the collar, it seemed that they couldn't avoid this rainstorm, they could only stare at the big rain and smash their heads.

There was no rain protection on the carriage, and there was only a thin plastic sheet in the carriage, which could only be shared by two people. The rain became heavier and heavier, and Xiaohong's mother suddenly took out a dozen black plastic bags from a bag. She pulled out two of the plastic bags, one for her five sons, and one for Sun Guodong, and then took out another one from it and put it on her head, so that the three of them could sit back to back to ensure that the heads of the three could not be wet by the rain.

The carriage ran at a high speed, but before it had gone far, the big white horse could not run with its head shaking, and the overwhelming raindrops fell cracklingly, and the splashing mist spread everywhere, and suddenly the sky and the earth were turned into chaos. Fortunately, the carriage was driving on a painted road, and the two rows of tall poplars on both sides had a huge umbrella canopy in mid-air, and instead of the dirt roads on both sides, the carriage must have been difficult to move an inch. Going out to sell vegetables in such a ghost weather is simply a kind of masochism.

About half an hour later, the thunder had subsided, but the rain was still falling. The road was flooded into a river, and the dirty rainwater, mixed with some fine debris, flowed around arbitrarily. The hailstones that fell in an instant hit the surface of the water, and immediately stirred up water bubbles layer after layer. These bouncing water bubbles, always exuding the smell of fish, drift along the undulating road, like the anchor of a small boat. The big white horse was a little timid, and the dirty water was no longer above its knees. Its four legs tentatively walked forward, and with each step, it hesitated for a long time with a splash.

Not far from the entrance of the village, Sun Guodong suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse. In the rain and fog, he saw that the corn in the field that had been destroyed by the wind and rain fell down in large areas, he was anxious for a while, and immediately thought about whether the shack in the vegetable field was blown down by the wind, so he sent the horse whip in his hand to Xiaohong's mother's hand: "The rain is too heavy today, you drive back first, I will go to the vegetable field with my five sons now to see if the shack has fallen!" It's raining so hard that if it falls, everything inside will have to be ruined! ”

Without waiting for Xiaohong's mother to answer, Sun Guodong had already jumped out of the carriage, he bent his waist, wrapped his coat tightly, shrunk his neck, hugged his two arms to his chest, and staggered into the pouring rain. Wuzi answered, ripped off the plastic bag above his head, jumped out of the carriage, followed him, and the two of them slid step by step in the direction of the vegetable field.

Xiaohong's mother held the whip, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted loudly at their backs: "The rain is so heavy, the shack can't be rebuilt even if it falls, you go, there is not even a place to shelter from the rain in the vegetable field, I think you two don't go, it's in vain to go, come back quickly!" ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you go back first! When the rain stops, you can send me some clothes. Sun Guodong stubbornly turned his head, waved his hand at her, turned around and continued to walk forward.

The rain was still falling, and a terrifying electric light, flashing with snowy light, swept through the air, and a thunderbolt exploded overhead, and the thunder sounded, and a tall poplar tree on the side of the road was suddenly cut off. The huge canopy of trees, drenched and dripping, staggered across the middle of the road.

This tree is very close to the carriage, if it is not for the carriage to take a few steps forward, it may really hit the carriage, Xiaohong's mother saw it, and hurriedly covered her ears, her heart was so frightened that she jumped up, and it took him a long time to recover.

Today's rain is very heavy, if it weren't for the eggplants in the field yesterday and sold them, maybe they are all rotten in the ground now, thinking of these, people don't count the sky, Xiaohong's mother couldn't help but secretly rejoice. She got up and sat down on the wheel, and shouted loudly at the big white horse, who shook his head and shook the rain from his body, and ran forward quickly.

When Sun Xiaohong woke up from her dream, it was already dawn. At this time, Sun Guodong had already come out of the vegetable market with a carriage. Sun Xiaohong squinted her eyes and walked out of the door in a daze, she looked up and saw that the weather was gloomy, and it seemed that it was difficult to have sunny days in the past few days, and she couldn't help but feel sad in her heart.

Grandma came to her and said, "Your father and your mother went to the city to sell vegetables, I don't know if they are sold out now, if they come back late, it will be bad to catch the rain." "Grandma's worries are not superfluous. When they were about to go out, it was not good. But none of them thought of bringing raincoats, and if they were caught in the rain halfway through, they wouldn't catch a cold.

Sun Xiaohong's heart tightened when she heard this, and she looked at the sky sadly. She thought that the books she had studied in school for so many years were all provided by her father and mother who grew vegetables. But now, she didn't help anything, she stayed at home all day and only cared about herself, and she was very ashamed.

She thought in a daze, a gloomy cold wind blew overhead, and the sky suddenly overwhelmed with black clouds, and the whole world became like a black sky. She stood restlessly in the courtyard, calculating where the carriage had gone. She saw her grandmother tidying up in the yard, so she hurried over to help, and when they had finished cleaning up all the things they were afraid of watering in the yard, they had just entered the house with their front feet, and then a burst of rain fell in front of the window.

The sloping rain splashed like ink, constantly washing the glass on the doors and windows. The sky suddenly became terrifyingly dark, Sun Xiaohong saw it, her heart became more anxious, and she became more and more worried. She hoped that the rain would soon end, so that she could go to the village to deliver raincoats to her father and mother. But the rain outside became heavier and heavier, like a monstrous wave on the turbulent sea, as if God had a grudge against anyone, and he wanted to pour all the water in the Pacific Ocean cruelly onto this land.

Looking at the rain and fog in the sky, Sun Xiaohong couldn't sit still in the room. She found a few raincoats in the house, folded them, put them in a bag, bent down and pulled up her trousers with an umbrella, and walked out of the house.

After hurriing out of the courtyard gate, she quickly walked out of the narrow alley. The alley was empty, like a rushing river, driving everyone into the house. She stood in the alley and looked south, there was no one on the road, and the vast rain and fog shrouded the whole village.

She took a few more steps forward when she heard the rapid sound of a horse bell coming towards her. This familiar voice made her heart happy, and she couldn't help but speed up her pace. Sure enough, not far from the village, she saw her mother driving a carriage towards the village.

Mother didn't sit in the car, her dripping footsteps followed the four hooves of the big white horse, moving forward with difficulty. Her entire body was exposed to the rain, and she was drenched in the rain because she didn't have any rain gear. Sun Xiaohong saw that her mother was overwhelmed by the rain, and she was even more ashamed.

In the midst of a loud thunder, a torrent of rain poured down on her head, and her hair clung to her face, revealing her pale cheeks and frozen purple lips. Falling rain was running down the cuffs and trouser legs. Either scared or clammy and cold, her legs kept shaking, she staggered forward, and Sun Xiaohong's heart trembled with her footsteps.

In the air, the rain is getting heavier and the thunder is getting louder. She stubbornly leaned sideways, holding the whip in one hand and tightening the reins of her horse with the other, and walked forward with all her might. In the midst of her incessant shouting, the exhausted yellow horse, shaking its splashing head, kept cooperating with its master's every move, and struggled to move forward.

Yu ...... Yu ......" In the sound of her mother's continuous shouting, the carriage staggered to Sun Xiaohong. It was the biggest rainstorm she'd ever seen in her life, and it was also the one that broke her down. In this rain, she felt her mother's hardships and hardships.

"Mom, give you a raincoat! Hurry up and put it on! What about my dad and my five sons? What did they do? Sun Xiaohong immediately took out a raincoat from the bag and handed it to her mother.

"They're going to see the shack in the vegetable patch!" Mom trembled and took the raincoat with both hands and draped it over her body. Sun Xiaohong saw her mother drenched like this, she didn't bother to ask more, her heart was sour, and tears almost fell.

The carriage moved forward again. The alley was full of rain, and the sound of bubbling water and rain in the air resounded in a sea of white and bright, and soon overflowed all the gutters, big and small. The whole village felt as if it had been soaked in cold rainwater, and it was uneasy.

Seeing that the carriage had arrived at the door of the house, in the alley, the turbulent stagnant water flowed here and blocked the road with a whirlpool. Mother tightened the faucet of the big white horse, she stared at the water under her feet, and looked into the depths of the alley with difficulty, and then stuck the horsewhip in the vegetable basket on the car, she wiped the rain from her face with both hands, and stroked the hair that was blocking her eyes a few times, she wanted to test how deep the water was, so she bent down and pulled up her trousers, hesitated a little, and walked into the blister decisively.

In the dirty water, my mother took a few tentative steps. The water on the ground had reached her knees, and she tugged at the reins of her horse, and walked forward with a deep and shallow foot, and her raincoat almost fell off because of the force.

When Sun Xiaohong saw it, she couldn't wait to run over, and she raised the umbrella to her mother's head.
