After Yang Xiangbei came back from work in the evening, Lin Qingmiao filled a pot of sugar water and asked him to send it to the people in the old house first, and then boiled a pot of hot water and waited for Yang Xiangbei to come back and take a hot bath.

Yang Xiangbei came directly to the east house of the old house with two warm pots, and Mrs. Li saw her son coming over under the heavy rain, so she hurriedly took a towel to him, "What are you doing here in such a heavy rain, and you are still holding two warm pots?" ”

Yang Xiangbei put down the kettle, took the towel and wiped his face, "Qingmiao made ginger jujube brown sugar water and asked me to come over and send some to you,"

Hearing that it was to deliver sugar water, Yang Xiaoxiao ran to the kitchen to get a big basin and poured out the water from the two thermoses.

Mrs. Li was a little unhappy, "It's not worth it to order brown sugar water, when you come here on purpose, it's all soaked."

Yang Xiangbei hurriedly explained, "Mother, I didn't come here on purpose, I came back from the brick factory and brought sugar water by the way."

Hearing that his son didn't pour sugar water like this for his daughter-in-law, he didn't say anything anymore. "Daddy, I'm going back, I'm wet and uncomfortable," Yang Xiangbei said.

Seeing her son like this, Mrs. Li was distressed, "Drink a bowl of sugar water and then go"

Yang Xiangbei refused, "Don't drink it, Qingmiao left it for me at home" After speaking, Yang Xiangbei ran home with two empty thermoses.

Old man Yang looked at the sugar water in the basin and said, "Qingmiao, this kid, he looks very aggressive, but he is actually very careful and very sensible. You see, this sugar water is enough for the whole family. ”

Mrs. Li nodded, but she still said seriously: "But this can really spend money lavishly, although our whole family follows the light, but when I think of the money spent, I have angina." ”

Old man Yang: "What do you hurt and didn't cost you money"

Yang Xiaoxiao was afraid that the two of them would quarrel again, so she hurriedly interrupted, "Daddy, I'll call my brother and sister-in-law to come over, otherwise the sugar water will be cold after a while." ”

In the evening, the village chief and several members of the team came back from patrolling the fields, and their expressions were not very good. If it was still raining heavily in the morning and they were still overjoyed, they were really worried now, although the rain was heavy and light for a while. But heavy rain is always more than light rain, and there is no sign of stopping at all.

It's the same no matter what, it's too much. There was too much rain and it was worrying. The rain had been raining for four days in a row, and it was very sad for the people in the village.

Although Lin Qingmiao didn't understand anything, he also had common sense, and the rain would definitely affect the autumn harvest after raining for so long. She became worried, she lived here, naturally hoping that life in their village would be better, although the people in the village were a little broken-mouthed, but there were no bad people.

The heavy rain fell for three days in a row, and one night when the heavy rain was still in a hurry, there was a sudden sound of slamming the door, which woke up Yang Xiangbei's family, the little girl seemed to be frightened, and she cried, Lin Qingmiao hurriedly picked up the little girl and coaxed her, Yang Xiangbei ran to the door with her shoes and shouted loudly, "Who, what's the matter"

People outside also shouted loudly, "Fourth uncle, I am a dog leftover, several houses in the village have collapsed, my father asked me to call someone to come over to help" Listening to the voice, it was a half-grown boy.

"I'll go over right away" dropped a sentence and put on a raincoat when he entered the house, picked up a flashlight and was about to run out, and asked Qingmiao with some worry before leaving, "The village is not peaceful tonight, use me to call Xiaoxiao to accompany you?" ”

Lin Qingmiao also heard the words of the kid outside the door just now, "You go, pay attention to safety, don't call Xiaoxiao over, I'm not afraid"

"Okay, then you two lock the door at home" Yang Xiangbei explained and ran into the rain.

Lin Qingmiao put down the maid and ran out with an umbrella, and first plugged in the gate in the yard.

He came back and bolted the door of the house. Only then did he go to the kang to coax the little girl.

After a while, the little girl fell asleep, but Lin Qingmiao had no intention of sleeping, looked at the time at more than 3 o'clock, and lay on the kang for a while It was really uneasy, she was not only worried about Yang Xiangbei, but also worried about her father and brothers in this life.

I really couldn't sleep, so Lin Qingmiao boiled a pot of ginger jujube brown sugar water and put it in a warm pot, waiting for Yang Xiangbei to come back.

When it was dawn and the rain stopped, Yang Xiangbei came back, and Lin Qingmiao handed Yang Xiangbei a towel and asked "How is the situation?"

Yang Xiangbei took off his raincoat and wiped his face with a towel, "There are three houses in total, collapsed"

Seeing that he wiped his face, Lin Qingmiao poured a bowl of brown sugar water and handed it to him: "There are so many houses collapsed, that person is okay?"

Yang Xiangbei drank the sugar water in one breath and said, "No one died, fortunately they are all adobe houses, and the injury will not be too serious if they are not hit by the beams, the most serious thing is that the third aunt's sternum seems to be broken, and her leg is broken and she has to go to the hospital for surgery, the third uncle drove the ox cart to send the third aunt to the commune hospital, and the others are not seriously injured, and the second aunt can bandage it." ”

Lin Qingmiaosong sighed, "These three aunts are too unlucky"

Looking at the muddy water on Yang Xiangbei's body, although Lin Qingmiao also felt sorry for Yang Xiangbei, who had worked hard to dig the house all night, she still wanted to go home and see, "I want to go back to my parents' house to see"

Yang Xiangbei nodded, "Let's eat first, I'll accompany you back after eating"

"Good" Just because of this sentence, Lin Qingmiao's depression in one night seemed to be all loosened, "I'll go cook now" Taking advantage of Lin Qingmiao's cooking time, Yang Xiangbei simply rinsed and changed his clothes.

In order to eat quickly, Lin Qingmiao cooked pimple soup for breakfast. First chop the tomatoes and pour them into the pot to fry the juice, then add water and boil until boiling, pour the adjusted gnocchi into the pot, watch the gnocchi when the gnocchi is almost cooked, beat the four eggs, pour them into the pot, add a little salt and drop two drops of sesame oil before leaving the pot. In this weather, drinking hot pimple soup, the whole person warmed up.

After eating, Yang Xiangbei sent the little girl to Lao Yang's house. Lin Qingmiao was preparing things to bring back to her parents' house at home.

Although the rain stopped, the muddy water on the dirt road in the countryside had not dried so quickly, and the road was slippery and muddy.

Lin Qingmiao's small cloth shoes have been pasted with mud layer after layer, and the shoes have been glued off several times, but fortunately, Yang Xiangbei is pushing the bicycle with one hand and supporting Lin Qingmiao with the other, otherwise Lin Qingmiao will definitely fall and be covered in mud.

Usually a distance that can be reached by bicycle for about 20 minutes, the two walked for more than an hour without stumbling before they arrived at Lao Lin's house, and seeing that the house at home was fine, Lin Qingmiao's heart finally let go.
