Chapter 115 Heavy Rain
Spring has already begun in May, and the heavy downpour made it impossible to go to the town. When Lin Xiangrong saw her, she got into bed and fell asleep with her small clothes in her arms. With such heavy rain, she was not willing to go to town or even walk a little distance. The calico cat curled up under the quilt for a while and then lay on her chest to sleep. Lin Xiangrong dozed off for a while, his vision constantly intertwined with black and white. He couldn't resist the sleepiness and soon fell into a deep sleep. Lin Yuannan, who opened the door, looked over and said to Lu Xiao, who was behind him: "She's already asleep. Go back and rest. How about sleeping in the side room? Your aunt cleaned it out this morning and all the quilts are ready." .” Lu Xiao was holding a half-new umbrella, half of the umbrella and sleeves were soaked by the rain. His face was slightly pale, and his black hair was slightly longer and covered a little of his eyebrows. He took a glance at it. The little girl sleeping soundly on the big kang had a calico cat that was brought back by the three rich men the day before yesterday lying on her chest. Her curly hair was bent on both sides of her face, and Yuxue's cute little face was flushed with sleep. He shook his head and said, "I'm not going to rest anymore. I'm going to go home and work for a while. When the rain stops, I'll go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables." Originally, he came to tell Lin Xiangrong that there were a few small prey in the cage on the mountain, and he had already caught them. However, since they were already asleep, let's continue sleeping. "Uncle, I put the hares and wild ducks here. When the girl wakes up, let's talk to her and I'll go back first." Lu Xiao greeted politely and talked to the girl who had just returned from harvesting the grains because of heavy rain. After Zhou Zhaodi said hello, she walked away slowly with her back straight. This guy is steady and polite.
After just one meeting, Zhou Zhaodi had a very good impression of Lu Xiao: "This kid is really polite, and his education seems to be good." She praised her daughter and Lu Xiao for playing together, but when she thought about two children who were not even the same shoe size together and started making money, she felt funny and sad at the same time. If the adults in the family could do their best to provide a good environment for the children, This seems to be the age when you are acting bad at home, how can you think of making money. "Yes, this is a good boy." And it's very difficult to mess with. Lin Yuannan had seen Lu Xiao's feat of chatting with others in the shopping mall. One person, with his eloquent tongue, overpowered several adults who looked like they were seasoned, and forcefully bought the jade pendant that his daughter wanted to buy at a low price. When I came back, my daughter was very happy for a long time. He has the shrewdness and indifference of a businessman, the childishness and liveliness that an ordinary child should have, and more importantly, the reserve and arrogance exuding from his bones. The heavy rain didn't stop until noon, and there were many people doing activities in the front and back yards. Mrs. Wang and her family, who had just gone to the village to deliver the letter of guarantee, recommendation letter and two dollars, were overjoyed to clean the old house at the foot of the mountain. They also took advantage of the heavy rain to grab several men from Lao Lin's family to repair the house. The house was dilapidated and easy to repair, but it was easy to fall down due to heavy rain and slippery conditions. Wang Youfu and Wang Youcai were useless, so they left the most dangerous job of repairing the roof to Yuandong and Guangzong. One of these two people's ears doesn't work very well, and one of them has one missing eyeball. Each one of them feels like a cobbler can't stand up to three Zhuge Liangs, but will make things worse. Lin Yuannan put his hands on his hips: "Let's just stop the rain and repair it. Does it have to be today?" When he first arrived, his daughter had just woken up and was sitting on a small chair with her face next to the calico cat's, waiting for her meal. Before even getting close to her, she was dragged to work. Lin Yuannan was filled with resentment. "When will it be repaired? Hurry up." After getting the house and dividing the land, everything was done quickly. Wang Po felt that she had established a firm foothold in Xingjia Village and could display her majesty in Wangjia Village. She scolded: "A bunch of lazy guys, the young man who listens to the boss, can't even go up to the roof?" Zhang Miao, who had one missing eyeball in his family, was afraid that something would happen to him when he followed him and heard these words. Staring, one hand on his hips and one pointing at the roof, the red mole on the corner of his mouth seemed to turn a little red because of the harsh words he was about to blurt out: "What, this is my house?" "It's not my house. We are here to help. My family will do all the work. Why, mistress, the three men in your family are cripples who can't go to the ground?!" Guangzong smiled naively and did not stop Zhang Miao. He carried the shovel and poked the soil. He was reluctant to go to the roof. After all, the rain had not stopped, and the tile roof was covered with a layer of tarpaulin. You can tell by looking at it that it is slipperier than ice. I accidentally fell while going up here. Whose fault is it if something happens if it falls? Mrs. Wang will definitely not lose money, she will even scold them and say that they brought it upon themselves to come and meddle in other people’s business!
Grandma Wang's face darkened: "Women are talking everywhere, what right do you have to come and interfere?" She looked Zhang Miao up and down: "You will think you have straightened your back after giving birth to a son, but don't forget that you also gave birth to two bastards who can kill boys. What are you so arrogant about here?!" After spitting on the ground, Granny Wang was about to let the men of Lao Lin's family continue to go up to the roof, when a thunder struck down and directly broke a tree not far away. The tree fell down and almost hit the yard and collapsed the fence. A group of people were frightened for a moment, but then they breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that nothing happened. "It's raining heavily." Lin Yuannan stretched out his hand and saw that the drizzle had turned into heavy rain. In just the blink of an eye, the heavy rain was white and had already blocked a lot of the scenery in the distance. He said: "Everyone, go back. We can't repair the roof today. Let's wait until the rain stops tomorrow." As a result, heavy rain continued for several days, and the water line of the river blocked by the embankment outside the village began to rise crazily. Seeing that it was about to rise to the top, the heavy rain finally stopped. The water in that dike is very deep. A tall boy went down with a rope around his waist to test the depth of the water. He didn't take more than two steps when his feet staggered and his body fell. The water directly reached his neck. If the rope around his waist hadn't worked, I'm afraid he would have died. The person was swept away in an instant. "The water is so deep." Lin Xiangrong stared worriedly at the embankment and the stone arch bridge in the distance: "Brother Xiao Xiao, do you think the water is so heavy, will it collapse the bridge and flood it into the village?" He thought for a moment and shook his head; "No." The dike is some distance away from the village. Even if there is a small river in the village, and the water level rises along with it, it will not flood the entire village. He calculated carefully: "But don't go down to the deep cellar in the house recently. There is probably water down there. Even if there is no water, it is probably not safe." Forget it if you're lucky, but if you're not so lucky, you can step down and fall into a mud pit that has been turned into a soft bottom by water, but you can't fish it out. After all, the foundations in rural areas are not deep, and houses close to the river bank can easily sink some distance into the ground. The mud was turned soft by the water. (End of this chapter)
