Chapter 183 Rainstorm

torrential rain

Li Chengji knew that the little sister was doing it on purpose, and gave her a head-scratcher gently.

"You, you can't be like this after high school!"

The villagers in the Bamboo Forest still go to the river to fetch water every day and pour it into the fields and fields. The river water is also receding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The speed of   irrigation cannot keep up with the speed of drying up. The wells in the village can no longer produce water. Now the villagers use the river to fetch water.

Li Chengji and Li Chengyi are both strong laborers. Two thin teenagers, carrying water, shuttled through the fields. Sweat like rain, but the pace is steady, and the water will not spill a little.

Li Xiaoyu couldn't help having a headache when she saw the two of them working hard. These two idiots are too sincere, didn't they look at how the people around them chose them? Isn't this telling others that they have food at home?

As expected, when I got home from work at noon, two people came to the house, it was Li Erma and Li Fangfang.

"Fourth younger brother and sister, I really have no choice. There is no food at home. Can you lend me some red glutinous rice? I will pay you back first after the food is distributed."

Li Erma told Li Ma about the difficulties of her family earnestly and with choked words. Li Ma refused, but she was too ruthless to do it.

During the time between her sister-in-law, she had a better relationship with Li Erma, and she could still talk a few words on weekdays. Suddenly, she came to borrow food, which really embarrassed her. She looked up at her little daughter and motioned for her to take it. idea.

Li Xiaoyu nodded to his mother, signaling for her to agree.

Li Ma thought for a while: "Second sister-in-law, you can take some back for lunch, and come back to my house later in the evening."

Mr Li went home with a sackcloth bag with great gratitude. When she got home and opened it, her eyes were red again. In the bag lay half a bag of grains and a few red stalks, mixed with wild vegetables, enough for a family's rations for ten days.

Li's second mother asked Li Xiuwu to take the packaged grains to grind on his own mill, and he was still waiting for the pot at noon.

Li's kitchen, Li's mother asked her little daughter, "Little Yu'er, why did you agree to lend your second mother's food?"

"Mom, the second mother is different from that family. Besides, the second father did not do anything bad to the old man. He is an honest man. He knows how to work hard and doesn't like to talk. It’s good for family members to bully. Fortunately, I don’t live in a yard, otherwise I don’t know what it will be like to be bullied!”

"As long as you know as much as you want, help if you want! Lend them the food from our family."

"Mom, you are very smart!"

"Ghost girl, your mother is a stupid person and doesn't understand anything!"

"Yes, yes, my mother doesn't understand anything, but she understands everything in her heart!"

At night, Li Xiaoyu's house where Li's second father and Li's second mother went together, Li's mother asked them to move back the two packed sacks, and told the two: "Second brother and second sister-in-law, be careful on the road, don't let people see already."

"Second mother, I'll help you move out." Li Chengji carried the sack on his shoulders, supported it with one hand, and carried a sack with the other, and walked out with a relaxed pace.

The stunned Erpa Li and Erma Li didn't react until after a while, and hurried out, for fear that Li Chengji would run away.

Li Xiaoyu knew that it was the second brother who was showing off his strength and was also shocking. This second brother was no one at ease now.

Li Xiaoyu saw that the second brother came back soon, and thought he sent it to his home, but he did not expect it to be another.

"Little sister, Li Changyuan and Li Changming were waiting outside with their bags, probably thinking that in case they didn't borrow much, or if they didn't, they could save face for themselves."

Hearing the second brother's words, Li Xiaoyu remembered his previous life, when his old man went to borrow food, but he didn't dare to take the guy to someone else's door. Every time, I hide the bag in the bamboo forest outside, and then take it out after others agree to borrow food.

Although Li Xiaoyu had never experienced the taste of   , she understood the embarrassment and sourness in it. Who doesn't want face, but when there is no way to support the child, the old man can only throw away all these things.

The second father Li's family who returned home were so excited that they burst into tears when they opened the sacks. This can all save lives! Having borrowed so many families, only the family of four siblings lent to their own family.

"Mom, we have something to eat, and we don't have to drink wild vegetable soup every day!"

"Yes, there is food, but none of you can go out and say where the food came from. That is harming people. You must remember who gave us a chance to live!"

The taciturn second father Li is humane to his family. Although he is honest and does not like to talk, he knows very well which of his brothers is the most reliable. He does not want his children to be white-eyed wolves.

"We all understand, we won't go out and talk nonsense."

There was a strong wind at night, lightning and thunder, and raindrops crashed on the ground. Li Xiaoyu was awakened by the sound of thunder, and when she realized that it was raining heavily outside, it also started to rain lightly in the house.

"did dah dah" beep.

"Sister, get up, it's raining in the house."

The rain was heavy and the wind was strong, and the Li family's house was leaking everywhere. Because the house and grass have not been changed for several years, some places have aged, and the roof will leak faster due to the wind and rain.

There was not even a place to stay in the house, so the family had to hide in the woodshed. Fortunately, the firewood house has been renovated, and there is no rain leakage for the time being.

Other families in the village are in the same situation as the Li family, and every family is leaking rain. But when I thought that there was no need to carry water anymore, the dryness of the ground could be alleviated, and I didn't care about the current rain.

Some people even rushed into the rainstorm and let the rain wash away.

On the second day, the torrential rain and wind suddenly stopped, and the sun appeared as scheduled. If it weren't for the lodging of the rice fields that were blooming in the fields, people would think that the rainstorm was an illusion.

The hard work of the past few days has all come to nothing, and many villagers are crying.

Li Xiaoyu is also watching the rice lying down in the field, it is really God that no one can live! No amount of effort will help.

Captain Li also had red eyes and choked in his throat, but he couldn't cry like the villagers, and he had to find a way to rescue him. How much can be saved is counted, if not, other crops must be replanted.

"Don't cry, let's see how many can be rescued. Li Shuangming, go to the field to see the situation of Baogu."

The captain led people down the field to see how many could be rescued. After checking, except for a thin field that was not collapsed, all the others were not saved.

To make matters worse, Li Shuangming brought back the news that the baogu in the ground also fell over a large area, and even turned over, which means that the baogu pole was uprooted by the storm.

Many of them were broken by the wind. Li Shuangming brought back a few broken ground-packing sticks.
