He looked up at the sky, and there was an indescribable taste in his eyes.

At this time, Wen Xiaoxiao, a reporter standing under the embankment, quickly took out his camera and preserved this scene forever. She has already decided that tomorrow's Henan Daily will use this photo as the cover, and if the editor-in-chief does not agree, she will fire the editor-in-chief.

At this time, Sun Xiaoqing and I didn't know Lu Daowen's small thoughts. Sun Xiaoqing and I walked up and said hello to Lin Guoqing. When Lin Guoqing saw us coming, his whole jaw almost dropped, and he lost his voice: "Why are you here?" Will you teleport? ”

"It's your sister." I despised him and made things clear.

……

The levee broke, but the rain gradually lightened.

Lin Guoqing came to the village brigade, looked at the village brigade in the room where the flood water receded, and sighed. The village brigade is located on a high place, just enough to overlook the whole village, and from here, Shitiben Village, Beiwangzhuang, and Ganquan Village below Shiti Village, these three villages are all spared. The worst is Beiwangzhuang, where my home is located, the lowest reaches of the river.

It's still very close to the river, after this flood. The whole village is of good quality except for a few houses built by large families that have not yet been washed away. Other people's houses were all washed away.

Lin Guoqing turned his head to look at me and asked me, "Which of you has a car, I'm going to go to town now." ”

Wen Xiaoxiao said: "I have it, and I have to rush back to make tomorrow's draft, I'll send you there." ”

Lin Guoqing nodded, and Sun Xiaoqing and I glanced at each other and decided to help Lin Guoqing watch the scene. I did post-disaster comfort work, and Sun Xiaoqing and I also brought some drinking water and food in our backpacks, so we could just distribute them to everyone.

Lin Guoqing and Wen Xiaoxiao got in the car and went back to the town, while Sun Xiaoqing and I went back to the village. Now that the rain had been light, the villagers had only taken their savings and passbooks with them when they left their homes at night, without food or clothing. Now that the day is just dawning, they all go back to find salt, rice, and oil tea from the ruins.

The most important thing in the village is fresh water resources, even if it is water from the river, as long as it is clear, it can be drunk. So now you just need to find some rice and you can cook rice in the pot. When Sun Xiaoqing and I returned to the village, my parents were looking for something in the ruins of my house.

Seeing this, Sun Xiaoqing hurriedly stopped his parents and took out bread, beef jerky, sausages, instant noodles, and mineral water from his backpack to his parents. My parents had been hungry all night, and now they finally saw me and Sun Xiaoqing come back, and the backbone of the family also came, so they took our things and feasted on them. While eating, I said to my parents, "Mom, since the house has collapsed this time, then we will buy you a house in the city, you can live in the city, if you build a house here again, it will not be cost-effective." ”

The parents who were eating were stunned, the two parents looked at each other, pondered for a while, and the mother said: "Hao Ren, you don't know what to do, the village chief has promised to give your father a job, and our village is about to be relocated, and the three forks will be overturned, where a new village will be built, a house will be more than 90,000 yuan, and the state subsidy plus the brigade subsidy will be able to buy 50,000 yuan." If you go to the city to buy it, it will cost two or three hundred thousand yuan for a set, which is too expensive, and the cost of where to live is also high, and your father and I are not used to it. ”

I sighed and said helplessly, "My mother, now you two are going to face a housing problem. You can buy a new rural house in the village, but that thing can be built if you say you can build it? It will take at least two years to start construction, and the development cycle of a tourist area should be at least more than ten years, the cycle is long, and the development is slow, where are you going to live in these two years? ”

When I said this, my parents were stunned again, and they didn't know what to say.

Sun Xiaoqing pinched me and said: "Mom and Dad, according to me, let's rent a house for you in the city first, you live first, if the village really builds a new rural house, it will not be too late for you to buy it at that time, anyway, rent a two-bedroom house in the city, it will be a few hundred yuan a month, let's come out, rent it for two or three years, is this good?" ”

Sun Xiaoqing's words are reasonable and reasonable, and after listening to it, I immediately applauded: "Then it's decided." Mom and Dad, let's go to the city first, now that the village is flooded, we have no place to live, so we will stay in a hotel in the city first, and then look for a house. ”

My parents looked at the two of us and were a little embarrassed. The father said tentatively: "Do you want to listen to Xiaoren?" ”

My mother didn't speak, so I knew and my mother agreed.

The passbook and ID card of the family were taken out by the parents, and my father still wanted to get the original things in the house, but I stopped my father, and the things were smashed by the house, and they couldn't be used, so what do you want those things for. When my father thought about it, it seemed that they had worked hard all their lives, and only that passbook was the most valuable, so he didn't take it.

The people in the village are cooking in a pot in front of the Dragon King Temple, using rice, flour, oil and salt from the ruins of each family. There was a large family that was not washed, and the granary was on the roof of the building, so he took out all the rice and noodles of their family and let the whole village eat. Although rural people have peasant stinginess and cunning, they are absolutely unambiguous when faced with major issues.

Before I left, I left the instant noodles, beef jerky, bread, and drinking water in my bag for the village children. There were also two or three salted eggs, which I gave to a mother who was still holding her baby. The child is only half a year old, and he can't eat yet, so he is holding his mother's chest to feed, but unfortunately his mother hasn't eaten either, and the milk is a little barren. These eggs are just right for her to replenish a little energy, after all, it is one person who eats the meal of two people.

The catastrophe caused so much suffering to the people of this small village that it almost destroyed the common home and spiritual support of all of them.

……

I knew that I was going back, so I might as well make a small car. But now I have no choice but to walk back. However, as soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, I met Wang Shaojun, a classmate I met at my house this morning, who drove a farm tricycle to the town to buy things.

Despite the tricycles, the trail was covered in mud and landslides. Some of the bridges were also washed down, but fortunately Wang Shaojun had lived here for more than 20 years, knew some small roads, and the agricultural tricycle could run no matter how bad the road was, so he arrived in the town at one o'clock in the afternoon.

When I arrived in town, I realized that the things in the town had already been snapped up. And so far, there have been no rescue teams to fight the floods. And the bus from the town to the city was also out of service, so my parents and I had no choice but to hitchhike on the road.
