Nanling has a subtropical oceanic monsoon climate, due to the influence of the monsoon, southeasterly winds prevail in summer, and low-pressure tropical cyclones sometimes visit.

The stars in the sky were covered by dark clouds again, and the weather could change, Fang Wei felt hot all over, looked up, and thought, maybe after a while, it will rain again.

He didn't know if it was because he drank too much wine, or if the temperature was rising, and his clothes were soaked, so he had to take off his long sleeves, go bare-chested, and leave his vest.

He felt much cooler, and the pedestrians who walked by him noticeably quickened their pace, and when he realized that it was raining, he turned sideways and stretched out his hand, and the raindrops fell on the back of his hand.

Fang Wei said casually, "Brother Ma, it's raining again, you guys drink first, I have to leave for a while to see my daughter-in-law and children." ”

Ma Juren said; Brother, it's normal for us to rain here, there's no fuss, if you want to go home, go back with your daughter-in-law.

Without waiting for him to answer, Boss Sun took over and said; "This old man, you left as soon as I sat down, did I sit here and make you feel uncomfortable, or do you dislike my little brother?"

Fang Wei said with a smile; "Boss Sun, how can you talk like this, what do you think of me, my daughter-in-law with a child is waiting for me nearby, if you don't believe it, ask Brother Ma, is it me lying to you."

Ma Juren explained; "Boss Sun, what he said is the truth, his daughter-in-law with the child is indeed waiting for him over there, so let him go."

Boss Sun raised his head, looked nearby, and said; "What stall is your daughter-in-law in? Tell me about it, let my wife call her over, and we'll get to know each other. ”

Fang Wei said; "Boss Sun, don't worry, you are doing business, there are guests here, your wife can't leave, I'll go to see the children, are you asleep, if you fall asleep, I won't come, we'll leave directly, and it's starting to rain again." I often come to the night market, and there will be opportunities in the future, as long as you don't dislike it, I will come often. ”

Ma Juren said; "Brother, go ahead, it looks like the rain will get heavier and heavier, and the time is not early, you can go back with your wife and children, we and Boss Sun, and it will be lively for a while."

Fang Wei said goodbye to the people present and came to the booth of the two old men, Xiaoli held the child in her arms, sat with her back to him, and chatted happily with the two old men without distraction.

Fang Wei walked over, she didn't notice that the old aunt saw Fang Wei and said; "Young man, you are here, daughter-in-law and child, put it here with me, you are quite relieved, sit down quickly."

Fang Wei said with a smile; "Auntie, I won't sit down, look at this little guy, he has already slept, we have to go back quickly, seeing that the rain is about to fall heavily, if we leave late, I'm afraid we will all get wet."

Xiaoli also stood up, Fang Wei took the child from her hand and said; "Uncle, auntie, I'm sorry for the trouble and the delay in your business."

The old master said; "Young man, don't be so polite, your daughter-in-law is very good, not only did not delay my business, but also brought happiness to our old couple, this child is tiger-headed, very cute, amused my wife is very happy, I will come often in the future, bring the child over, even if the business is delayed, it doesn't matter, my wife feels very sorry for your son, if we can have such a big grandson, it would be a good thing."

What the old master said touched Fang Wei's weakness, he thought of his parents in his hometown, hesitated, wanted to speak, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Xiaoli said; "Uncle, aunt, let's go, don't stand up for the second elder, please stay."

Fang Wei said goodbye to the two old men, and the family of three left their stall and walked a long distance, looking back at the old couple, who were still standing there reluctantly.

…………

The rain became heavier and heavier, and the heavy rain turned into a torrential rain, and the whole street was flooded, and it became like a big river that was rolling endlessly.

Fang Wei drove the car, but he couldn't see the road, he had to reduce the speed of the car, staring forward with wide eyes, because the light was too dim, when he saw a whirlpool, he quickly stepped on the brakes, it was too late, due to the inertia of the car, the front wheel quickly slid into the pit.

Xiaoli sat in the co-pilot's seat, defenseless, her body leaned forward all of a sudden, Fang Wei hurriedly stretched out her hand to block it, she almost let go of the child in her arms, but she was frightened.

Her heart was beating so hard that she complained angrily; "How do you drive? I can't even see the road clearly, how dangerous it was just now, if I really dropped the child, I can't spare you. ”

Fang Wei was also a little angry, and it was not easy to send it out, so he could only hold the steering wheel with his hand, look at the pouring rain outside, and shake his head in frustration.

He came to his senses and said; "Xiaoli, it's useless for you to be angry with me, I didn't mean it, it rained so hard, I couldn't see the road clearly, who knew that the well didn't have a manhole cover, or it might have been stolen, these people who stole the manhole cover were really hateful, the manhole cover made of pig iron was not worth a few dollars, and I don't know what those people thought, the well has no cover, and when it rains, it is going to be a big thing, and it is likely to make a lot of trouble, it is really a lack of virtue for eight lifetimes, and there is not even a bottom line of being a man, which is described as madness, Not too much at all. ”

Fang Wei was furious for a long time, and the anger in his heart was not gone, he glanced at Xiaoli, and thought to himself, it was raining so hard, where to find someone to ask for help, his wife and children were trapped in the car, and he had no choice.

Xiaoli looked at him and said; "What's the use of you getting angry, can you solve the problem, you can only wait for the rain to stop, and then we will find a way to find someone to help."

Fang Wei sighed and said; "It seems that this is the only way, then wait for the rain to stop, and we will talk about it."

Xiaoli said; "Those who steal manhole covers are really annoying, their conscience is eaten by dogs, completely ignoring the danger of others, I really can't figure out, those who steal manhole covers, who are they, dare to be so bold, is there no one to take care of it?"

Fang Wei said; "Alas, those who have no moral bottom line, just want to steal and sell for money, they don't care about the lives of others, if they say who they are, others will think that I am discriminating against the region, forget it, it's better not to say it."

Xiaoli asked; "Fang Wei, where are those people? You name it and let me know. ”

Fang Wei said; "Xiaoli, these people who stole manhole covers, how much I still know some, I know one, working at the police station, in a small talk, he told me that these people, most of them are in one place, from the scrap acquisition station to sales, forming a one-stop production and marketing, most of them are fellow villagers, I asked him, don't you care about the police station, he said that the management is to be managed, they have no evidence, and they can't find it, and no one reports, then again, who dares to report their fellow villagers, is to smash their own jobs, but also to cut off their own way, They cooperate very tacitly, protect each other, and sometimes report the news, even if the police come, they can't catch them, and there is nothing they can do, right? ”

Xiaoli said with a smile; "Fang Wei, I'm surprised, you know so much, I don't know anything about it, and I haven't heard anyone say it, it seems that I'm really lonely."

Fang Wei looked at Xiaoli and said; "What's so strange about this, it's useless if you know, besides, you're a woman, these roadside news, even if you know, it's not interesting."

Xiaoli didn't speak, handed the child to Fang Wei, got up and stepped over the backrest, took her son, laid it flat on the back seat, and waited until she slept steadily, and then padd it with clothes to prevent her son from rolling over and falling down.

Xiaoli returned to the passenger seat, a little uneasy, she turned around, her eyes fell on her red face, looking at her son who was sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, her eyes full of love.

Xiaoli asked; "My son is already asleep, so I'm relieved."

Fang Wei didn't speak immediately, he also looked back for a while before he spoke; "Such a big child, really blessed, don't have to think about anything, know how to eat all day long, sleep when sleepy, carefree, and can also get the favor of his mother, this is better than the treatment of the gods, I really want to live again."

Xiaoli said with a smile; "What kind of person have you become, how can you be jealous with your child, and you can say such a thing, are you shy or not?"

Fang Wei looked at the heavy rain outside, accompanied by lightning and thunder, there was no intention to stop, the water on the street was getting bigger and bigger, and he was very anxious.

He regretted it very much in his heart, who can be blamed for this, he can only blame himself, he always can't wipe off his face, if he had left half an hour earlier, he would not have been trapped in the car, and he would have caused so much trouble to his wife and children.

Xiaoli said; "We were in the car, we sat for a long time, and we didn't even see a taxi, maybe it was raining too much, and the driver was afraid of accidents, didn't he dare to come out?"

Fang Wei said; "Even if there is a taxi, it is raining so heavily, even if you see it, you can't stop it, there are already passengers in the car."

Xiaoli said; "What you said is also true, rainy days are taxis, the best time for business, but also a good opportunity to make money, I have encountered once, the driver privately raised the price, took advantage of people's difficulty in taking a taxi, sharpened the knife quickly, and dominated those passengers who were eager to go home,"

Fang Wei said; I'll look at it for a while, the rain can't stop, let's wait for a while, it's not a way, or let's go separately, once a taxi comes, I'll go down to stop the car, do you think it's okay?

Xiaoli thought for a moment and said; "It's useless for you to stop, there must be guests in the car, forget it, or you can call Ma Juren to see if he is still in the night market, if he is, you can ask him to come over and help us carry the car out."

Fang Wei said; "Don't bother people, it's raining so hard, everyone gets wet, they'll catch a cold, I don't think it's good, it's better to wait for the rain to lighten, and we'll find a way."

Xiaoli opened the car window, stretched out the window and tried it, and said happily; "The two of us patronized and talked, the glass was wet and blurred by the heat we exhaled, and I couldn't see the size of the rain outside, I felt it with my hands, and now the rain is light, and it may stop after a while."

Fang Wei rolled down the window glass, stretched out his hand, and said; "The rain is really light, let's wait a little longer, once the rain stops, see if we can find someone to help, if we can't find it, let's lock the car and find a way to go home."

As soon as his words fell, a car stopped next to him, and before Fang Wei could react, a few people got out of the car, walked to the side of the car in the rain, and knocked on his window.

Fang Wei recognized it at a glance, it was Ma Juren and a few colleagues, he said; "Brother Ma, thanks to you coming, or we will have to spend the night here."

Ma Juren's face was covered with rain and said with a smile; "Brother, your driving skills are really good, there is only one pit on the road, and you really let you drive in, you are not an ordinary level, don't talk nonsense, let's help you, lift the front of the car, and then you start the car again, slowly reverse the car, okay?"

Fang Wei said; "Thank you, Brother Ma, pay attention, don't hurt yourself, you lift the front of the car, give me a color, I'm reversing."

Xiaoli looked at Fang Wei and said; "You tell Brother Ma, don't be in a hurry to do it first, and when I go down, you can let them have a trolley, okay?"

Before he could speak, Xiaoli was opening the car door, and at this moment, he heard a shout, the front of the car had been raised, Fang Wei hurriedly started the car and slowly fell backwards.

In just a few seconds, Fang Wei felt that the wheels had hit the ground, and he opened the car door to thank them, and before he could speak, Ma Juren waved his hand to him, and several people quickly got into the car, started the car and drove away.

Fang Wei watched the horse giant leave, but he was very grateful in his heart, Xiaoli said beside him; "Fang Wei, your friends are good, they helped us, they didn't say anything, they didn't accept our thanks, they drove away directly, this kind of friend can make deep friends."

Fang Wei didn't say anything, took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and just clicked on it, Xiaoli held his hand and said; "I knew that when you were excited, you wanted to smoke, and don't forget, there were children in the car."

He put the cigarette in his pocket, started the car, and took a direction, bypassing the sewer well, and driving along the shallow street in the direction of his home.

When Xiaoli pushed the door open, her mother was still sitting in the living room, and when she saw her daughter coming in, she said anxiously; "What's going on with you? Where did this go? Why did you come back now, and I didn't look at what time it was, and I didn't even have a phone call, what happened? ”

Mother's series of resentments, Xiaoli said with a smile; "Mom, we're all such big people, can we still lose it? I had come back a long time ago, but Fang Wei drove carelessly, and the water on the street was so big that he fell into the pit carelessly, if it weren't for the help of others, he wouldn't have come back now. ”

Mother asked with concern; "It's really dangerous that something so big happened, why don't you make a phone call, the child is not hurt, hug me quickly, let me see, you two are okay, right?"

Xiaoli hurriedly sent her sleeping son into her mother's arms and said; "Mom, the child is fine, if you don't feel at ease, then you can take a good look at it for a while."

The mother hugged her grandson, looked up and down, and then she was relieved, patted her grandson distressedly, shook it gently, and after a while, said; "It's a shame that I didn't hurt the child, if I really scratched some skin, I really can't spare you two, you're such a big person, and let me worry about it."

Fang Wei stood beside him, not daring to interject, for fear that he would say something wrong and make his mother-in-law angry, so he gave Xiaoli a color and turned around to dodge.
