Chapter 69 Heavy Rain

The rain lasted for more than five hours at a time. After finally waiting for the rain to subside, the village was immediately filled with sighs and cries. The cadres of the brigade and the cadres of the small team were wearing raincoats, looking at the situation from house to house, and they were so busy.

Does not touch the ground.

Not because of anything else, but because most of people's houses at this time had thatched roofs. After such a heavy rainstorm that lasted for five hours, few houses in the village could withstand the damage, and every household's house was seriously damaged.

, after the heavy rain, the water spread to the streets and alleys, fields and crops, and ditches and trenches were everywhere.

The villagers looked at the ruined houses at home and at the patches of crops in the fields that had just begun to bear ears and were soaked in the ocean. They almost wanted to cry without tears.

If the house is destroyed, they can just put some effort into repairing it. If the crops are drowned, what will they eat next season?

Who would have thought that after several years of drought, on July 7 this year, which was supposed to be a good day for the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to meet, God would send them such a disaster?

This is not as good as during the drought in previous years. During the drought, there were still a few crops growing on the ground. But after this rain, the crops were soaked in water, so how could they still produce food?

The villagers felt as sad as if their parents had died, crying and hurriedly cleaning up the ruined houses.

As for the Fang family, it is actually a little better than most families in the village. Apart from the fact that the house is fine, there is also a lot of water in the yard.

At this moment, Fang Youshun was extremely grateful that he had listened to his son-in-law's advice and raised the roof when building his house. Otherwise, not only would the yard of his house be flooded with water, but the sleeping room would also be flooded.

Children don’t understand the worries of adults so deeply, especially those who are younger. When they see water on the street, they want to jump in and splash around. This scares the adults so much that their eyes are open for a moment.

I stared at the younger children at home, fearing that they would accidentally step into the water and not be able to climb out.

On the contrary, the older children, especially the boys, were all wearing only their underpants and splashing in the water on the street, competing to see who could hold their breath for longer or who could swim faster, laughing and joking without any trace of sadness.

.

Of course, adults strictly warned them not to go to places like Shuiwan.

You know, the water there is very deep now, and the adults don't have time to watch them every day. If someone accidentally gets a leg cramp in the water, he may not be able to jump up, and he may not be able to wait until the adults go.

save.

Now that the crops are hopeless, their most important task now is to repair the house quickly. It is the rainy season. If they don't repair the house quickly, where will they live when it rains again?

While the villagers were busy, the team leader and team leaders quickly collected information on the damage to each household and reported it. Within a few days, the county distributed relief supplies.

Perhaps because he had been a soldier, Fang Youshun was particularly kind to the soldiers who were wading over carrying relief supplies. He hurried forward to help carry and distribute them. At the same time, he also heard about the heavy rain, ah no, it was a heavy rain.

More news on.

It turned out that not only their village was affected by the heavy rain, but the entire county was affected.

It is said that the rain fell more than 460 millimeters, causing severe flooding throughout the county. In comparison, no one was hurt in their village, which was good. In some villages, villagers were hit because they failed to escape in time when their houses collapsed. Many suffered head injuries, broken arms and legs.

Fang Youshun felt the veins on his forehead twitching when he heard that. He turned back to look at the roof of his daughter's house, which had several holes, and slapped Shen Jinggui on the shoulder.

"Just replace the roof. When the water recedes, you can buy tiles. The roof will be replaced directly with tiles. If you don't have enough money, I will add more."

After listening to Fang Youshun's words, Shen Jinggui opened his mouth and wanted to say no, but he couldn't say no. In the end, he only said: "Okay, daddy, please give me the money first, and I will pay it back later." .”

"Let's not talk about that. Don't you plan to build two houses for Yu Wen this year to marry him? They just happen to be built with tile roofs, so you won't be afraid of heavy rain in the future." Fang Youshun said with emotion.

The house should be built more solidly.

Fortunately, the past two years have been good. The grain produced in the private plot and the grain earned by his daughter and son-in-law every year are enough to eat. He has saved up his monthly allowance and the money from selling baskets. Otherwise, he would be counted as him now. Even if I want to replace the roof of my son-in-law's house, I can't.

Fang Youshun didn't think there was any point in paying for his son-in-law to replace the roof. Anyway, he and Grandma Fang were already at this age, so they could only look at the money in their hands. Xiao Xiu hadn't spent money yet, so he had to let the children live first. Safety is the most important thing.

Seeing that his father-in-law had thought so carefully, Shen Jinggui was so moved that he didn't know what to say, and in the end he just kept nodding.

First, the rain was so scary. Although his house only leaked and did not collapse, he was really afraid that if he encountered such heavy rain again in the future, the roof would collapse and hit the adults and children in the house. Good or bad.

Secondly, he also knew that Fang Youshun didn't like him saying thank you all the time.

After getting along with each other for several years, Shen Jinggui got to know the other party Youshun to some extent. This old man did not value money so much, but was happy to spend money on his family and children. Because of this, the children in the family benefited a lot, especially The two elders are in charge of food, clothing, and annual tuition fees.

These two old men really cared about their children as their own, and they really treated their son-in-law as if they were half a son. If he always said thank you in front of others, the old man might think too much.

All he can do is to do his best to support the two old people and provide them with care until they die.

After the roof replacement was finalized, Shen Jinggui no longer thought about repairing the house quickly. Instead, he packed up his belongings and moved to Fang's house. He temporarily lived in Fang's house with his children, because the fields were now full of There was too much water to work on, so I usually took Shen Yuwen and Shen Yulin to help other families in the village repair their houses.

After all, there is only water and mud on the road now. Even if he could afford to buy bricks and tiles, he would not be able to transport them back. He might as well take advantage of this moment to help others repair their houses first, and then others can come and help him when he repairs his own house.

Don't let anyone tell you that he is realistic. That's just the way it is. If you don't help others when they have trouble, do you think that when you have trouble, you just want to have people come to help you?

No one is a fool, that's how people do things, you help me, I help you, there has to be a back and forth. If you want to use nothing, it's okay once or twice, but who will be fooled after a long time?
