Chapter 69: Heavy Rain
The rain lasted for more than five hours, and when the rain subsided, the village was immediately filled with sighs and wails.
It's not because of anything else, but because most of the people's houses are thatched roofs at this time, and after such a heavy rainstorm that lasted for five hours, few houses in the village could withstand the destruction, and the houses of every family were seriously damaged, and after the rainstorm, the water spread to the streets and alleys, fields and crops, and ditches everywhere.
The villagers looked at the ruined houses at home, and at the fields where the crops that had just begun to bear ears were soaked in the ocean, and they were almost crying.
The house is destroyed, they just need to work hard to repair it, this crop is drowned, what will they eat next season?
Who would have thought that after a few years of drought, July 7 this year should have been a good day for the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to meet, and God would give them such a disaster?
This is not as good as the drought in previous years, when the drought is dry, there are still a few crops growing in the ground, this rain down, the crops are soaked in water, how can it still produce food?
One by one, the villagers were as uncomfortable as their dead fathers and mothers, and they hurriedly cleaned up the destroyed houses with sad faces.
And the Fang family, in fact, is a little better than most people in the village, except that the house is fine, and there is a lot of water in the yard.
At this moment, Fang Youshun was extremely glad that he listened to his son-in-law's advice when he built the house and raised the roof platform, otherwise, his house would not be flooded with water, but the house where he slept would be flooded.
The sorrow of the adults, the children are not so deeply understood, especially those who are young, when they see water on the street, they want to go in and splash, which can scare the adults a lot, and they stared at the younger children at home for a moment, for fear that they would accidentally step into the water and not be able to climb out.
On the other hand, the older children, especially the boys, are fluttering in the water on the street with only one pants on, competing to see who can hold their breath for a long time, who can swim fast, and laugh and laugh without knowing the slightest sorrow.
Of course, in places like the inlet, the adults also sternly warned them not to go.
You know, the water there is very deep now, and now the adults don't have time to watch them every day, if one accidentally cramps his leg in the water, he may not be able to pounce, and he may not be able to wait for the adults to save him.
Now that the crops are hopeless, their most important task now is to repair the house as soon as possible, and it is the rainy season, if they don't repair the house quickly, when it rains again, where will they live?
While the villagers were busy, the team leader and the team leaders quickly collected the disaster situation of each family and reported it, and within a few days, the county distributed relief materials.
may be because he was a soldier, Fang Youshun looked at the soldiers who came over with disaster relief materials and was very kind, and hurriedly stepped forward to help carry and distribute, and at the same time heard more news about this heavy rain, ah no, it was a heavy rainstorm.
It turned out that it was not only their village that was affected by the heavy rain, but the whole county.
It is said that the rain fell more than 460 millimeters, causing a huge flood in the county, in comparison, their village did not hurt people are good, some villages, because the house collapsed when the dodge is not timely, the head is smashed and bleeding, injured arms and legs are not a few.
Fang Youshun heard that the blue tendons on his forehead jumped and jumped, and he turned around to look at the roof of his daughter's house that had leaked several holes, and slapped Shen Jinggui on the shoulder.
"Just change the roof, and when the water recedes, you can buy tiles, and the roof will be replaced with tiles, and if your money is not enough, I will add it."
Listening to Fang Youshun's words, Shen Jinggui opened his mouth, wanting to say no, but he couldn't say anything to refuse, and finally only held back one sentence: "Okay, then Daddy Qian, you will give me a cushion first, and I will pay it back later." ”
"Let's not talk about that, aren't you planning to build two rooms for Yuwen to marry a daughter-in-law this year? It happens to be built together into a tiled roof, so that even if it rains heavily in the future, it will not be afraid. Fang Youshun said with great emotion.
It's better to build a sturdy house.
Fortunately, the two years were good, and the grain produced in his own land and the food earned by his daughter and son-in-law every year were enough to eat, and he saved up his monthly allowance and the money from the basket he sold. Otherwise, even if he wanted to change the roof of his son-in-law's house now, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Fang Youshun didn't think that he had anything to pay for his son-in-law to change the roof, anyway, he and Grandma Fang were already at this age, and the money was kept in their hands, and it was not time for Xiao Sleeve to spend money, so it was important to make the children live safely.
Seeing that his father-in-law was thinking so thoroughly, Shen Jinggui was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and in the end he would just keep nodding his head.
First, this rain is too scary, although his house is only leaking and not collapsing, but he is really afraid that he will encounter such heavy rain in the future, and the roof will not collapse and then smash the adults and children in the family.
Second, he also knew that Fang Youshun didn't like to say thank you all the time.
After getting along for a few years, Shen Jinggui also knew a little about the other party, this old man didn't value money so much, but was happy to spend money on his family and children. Because of this, the children in the family are not less clean, especially the two second children, who eat, wear, and pay tuition every year are all managed by the two old people.
These two old men really treat their children as their own children, and they really treat his son-in-law as half a child, if he always says thank you, this old man is afraid that he will have to think more.
What he can do is to do his best to support the two old people and give them their old age.
After the matter of changing the roof was finalized, Shen Jinggui no longer thought about repairing the house quickly, but packed up his things at home and moved to the Fang family, and temporarily lived in the Fang family with the children, because there was water everywhere in the field and he couldn't go to work, so he usually took Shen Yuwen and Shen Yulin to help other people in the village repair the house first.
After all, now there is nothing but water and mud on the road, even if he has the ability to buy bricks and tiles, he can't transport them back, so it is better to take advantage of this time to help others repair the house first, and when he repairs the house himself, people will come to help.
No one can say that he is realistic, this is the thing, you don't help when people have something, and when you have something, do you want to let people help with empty mouths and white teeth?
No one is a fool, doing things for others is like this, you help me, I help you, you have to come and go. If you want to empty the gloves white wolf, it's okay once or twice, who will be fooled after a long time?
