"This rain is really urgent, it is estimated that the two of them will not be able to pack up their things when they go back As soon as they entered the house, their mother Wang Hong said while patting her clothes.

The rain poured on her body, but she was extremely happy.

After all, this rain completely solved the problem of drought.

The old peasant faces the loess with his back to the sky, sows seeds in spring, shovels grass in summer, and harvests in autumn, and counts on this harvest after a year's hard work, and if it is a famine year, he will have to go hungry.

"This rain is so timely!" Father Jiang Dashan was also overjoyed and looked out the window.

At this time, in the courtyard outside, the rain had already flowed, and the water on the eaves had turned into a waterfall, and the ground was already soaked after a while.

But that's not enough.

It is estimated that it will take several hours to completely eat the land.

"If this rain falls like this, the last one will fall, and there will be no heavy flooding tomorrow?" Mother Wang Hong said worriedly.

"No, it's a bit dangerous to look at." Jiang Dashan also said.

It is not for nothing that the two old men are worried.

In the summer of '76, there was a heavy rain, and it rained so quickly, and it rained for a day and overnight, and then a flash flood broke out, causing heavy losses and killing several people.

The flood left indelible scars in the hearts of the old people in the village.

"Cheer up tonight, don't sleep too hard, if not, we'll go to Ganlingzi." Father Jiang Dashan instructed.

Ganlingzi is a high ground in the village, the terrain is high, and there are no mountains nearby, so it is safest to run there in the event of a flood. In the great flood of 76, the people of the village were spared only where they hid.

Most of the people who died slept too hard at night and didn't know that the flood was coming, so when they encountered this unprecedented heavy rain, now the people in the village are all in good spirits, and they don't even sleep all night.

No way, there is no TV, let alone a weather forecast, and no one can figure out how much rain will fall and when it will stop.

But Jiang Nian was not worried at all.

From his memory, he had never experienced a flood in his previous life, and at this time, the wind outside gradually became smaller, and the rain gradually became more stable, and he was even better.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, this rain will be so heavy, it will be fine for a while, and there will definitely be no flood." Jiang Nian swore an oath.

"Really?"

"Yo, it's a little small."

The old couple looked out the window and saw that the rain was gradually stabilizing, and their hearts suddenly settled down a lot.

"Jiang Nian, how do you know it's going to rain today?" Father suddenly asked curiously.

Jiang Nian smiled slightly.

"Damn's old cold legs hurt badly when it rained on a cloudy day, and I took a look, and the salt in our salt tank has melted somewhat, which proves that the air is humid, so I conclude that it must be raining." Jiang Nian answered truthfully.

Jiang Dashan was stunned for a moment.

He knows best what virtues his son has, when did he understand this, he understands the matter of old cold legs, but he doesn't know the experience of looking at moisture with large grains of salt.

The son has really changed.

It even made him feel a little incomprehensible.

"Then what are you doing staring at whether it's raining or not?" Mother Wang Hong asked.

Jiang Nian suddenly smiled.

"I want to pick up some mushrooms, I sell hazelnuts today, I met a rich woman, I asked for mushrooms by name, and the rich woman said that it was not bad money." Jiang Nian said.

"Oh, this rain is enough, but our mushrooms are not easy to find, there is no nest near the village, if you want to say who dares to enter the mountain, jackals, tigers and leopards, and the forest is also large, easy to get lost." Mother Wang Hong said.

"It's okay, Xiaowen's children know about the nest, I told them that they will collect it."

"If there are a few of them, you have to be more careful." Father Jiang Dashan smoked a cigarette pouch and said: "They are all children, they are not deep or shallow, if something happens in the mountains, we will have to be happy in our hearts." ”

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Dad, can I not know about this kind of thing?" Remind them a long time ago! ”

"Well, that's good, it's always right to think about what you do." Jiang Dashan nodded, thinking that his son had finally grown up and was no longer frizzy in doing things, and he was suddenly relieved.

"Don't worry, those children are all shrewd, and they are still brought by Xiaowen, Xiaowen's child has been stable since he was a child, and he has never taken the children to the mountains." Mother Wang Hong said, "You are on the ground, bring me the dustpan." ”

Jiang Dashan walked to the cabinet silently and brought the dustpan on it.

There were needles and threads in it, and there were a few shoes, and my mother obviously wanted to buy them.

"What's wrong? Dad's shoes are broken again? Didn't I buy a pair? Just wear it! Jiang Nian asked.

"It's not for your dad, it's for you!" Mother Wang Hong began to thread the needle and thread, but her eyes were obviously a little difficult, and after trying for a long time without success, she could only hand the needle and thread to Jiang Nian for help, and she kept sighing in her mouth, "Hey, I'm old, these eyes are really bad." ”

"What are you doing with my shoes? I don't have shoes? Jiang Nian put on the thread.

"What else are you doing, of course, to wear it when you get married, and you can't wear it decently when you are a groom official?" Mother Wang Hong began to compare the shoe samples, and said: "Ming, you find a piece of paper, extend the size of Lin Guan's feet, and I will make a pair for her when I go back." ”

"Mom, don't bother with that, isn't the double side you made for me last time good? Besides, we have money now, we can buy it, isn't it better than the foreign style of the house? Jiang Nian persuaded him.

"What's the use of that foreign air? The most important thing to wear shoes on your feet is comfort, can you buy them as comfortable as your mother makes them for you? And the thing I bought, as soon as I wear it, it will break, and my mother will give you a mille-feuille bottom, you can wear it, and it won't be broken for two or three years. ”

"Besides, can't you buy it for money? Money is hard to earn and is hard to eat, you now feel that you are making more money, and you are starting to spend money lavishly, but can you guarantee that you will always make money in the wind and rain? The province is saved, and the money has to be used wisely. ”

At this time, her mother Wang Hong had already finished comparing the shoe samples and began to cut the cloth, although her eyes were not very good, but her movements were extremely skillful.

Whether her mother Wang Hong is making shoes or clothes, they are all good and fitting, and now you can still buy shoes and clothes in the supply and marketing cooperatives, where to buy them in the next few years? Most of them are made of cloth.

My mother has made shoes and clothes all her life, and her skills are naturally and unusual.

"Mom, isn't there anything you gave me before? You can wear that pair, and you won't be tired. Looking at the green silk in his mother's ears, Jiang Nian really didn't feel good in his heart.

"That's not good, that's what was prepared for your marriage with Tang Wanying before, and you still have to wear it to appear at the wedding with Lin Wan? Let's not talk about obscurity, and I don't respect Lin Wan. ”

"Okay, don't persuade you about this, it's time to go to bed."

"Go to sleep, how many pairs of shoes can your mother buy you in this life? And it's such a big thing as your marriage, you can't persuade it. Father Jiang Dashan also said.

"Hey, that's okay, but don't be too late, your eyes are not good, and the black light will hurt your eyes even more." Jiang Nian said and slowly got off the ground.

"I know, I know, when did I get as abrasive as your father......" Mother Wang Hong said impatiently.

Jiang Nian was helpless, so he could only watch for a while and walked back to his room.

Lying in the quilt, listening to the sound of the rain washing outside, Jiang Nianman's mind was full of her mother's rickety figure under the light, and the thread in her hand was as dazzling as the green silk on her head.

"In this life, I must earn a lot of money, so that my parents can enjoy Qingfu, and I will never suffer from this ......burden again."
