Living in the village, Zhang Weifang gradually got used to this slow-paced life.

In the morning, she usually doesn't go out. She either stays at home with her mother or helps pick vegetables. When she has nothing to do, she also learns to pick up insoles.

It was a pair of white mesh insoles. Afraid that she didn't know how to embroider, Wang Fuzi drew a pattern on the insoles in advance. It was an embroidery pattern of a kitten playing with a hydrangea, which was very cute.

Wang Fuzi was very good at this, so he taught her step by step with needle and thread, and Zhang Weifang also learned very seriously.

At noon, after a nap, Zhang Weifang would take a glass of water and go under the black date tree to listen to everyone chatting. There was a lot of gossip in the village, and the gossip about the neighbors was very interesting.

Zhang Weibao's workplace is only two miles away from his home, and he can get there in a short ride every day. There are not many coal trucks on this road, so his job is very easy.

He usually has a lot of free time, and since his family only has two acres of land, he can help take care of it.

Wang Fuzi is not tall, only 1.5 meters. She is a typical housewife. No one can compare with her in cooking, washing clothes and embroidering. However, she is not strong enough, so she has to rely on others for help with farm work.

The other women around were all big and strong with tanned skin. They were very strong and could take care of all the work in the fields by themselves. Except for the autumn harvest, they didn't need help from men at other times.

Zhang Weibao goes home almost every day. He is now the new leader of the Zhang family in the village. He is responsible for all the weddings, funerals, moving and divisions in the village, so he is usually very busy.

However, Zhang Weifang gradually discovered something wrong and kindly reminded him:

"Maintenance, you have a job now. Even if your work is not busy, you can't skip work every day to help others. This is not appropriate. It would be bad if your boss found out."

Zhang Weibao disagrees:

"Sister, it's okay. Our place is remote and the leaders won't come."

Zhang Weibao is the manager of all weddings and funerals in the village. Every time something happens, he has to be away for at least two days. Everyone respects him very much, so he enjoys this kind of life more and more.

Even though he worked for free and didn't get paid, he was very happy. Fortunately, he would get a few boxes of cigarettes every time he finished the work, which could be considered a reward.

A few days after Zhang Weifang came back, Wang Fuzi started clamoring to buy a 21-inch color TV, which was now popular in the village.

Just yesterday, Zhang Weibao bought a Changhong TV for 2,300 yuan. It is such a big color TV with very clear pictures, and the whole family is very happy.

Zhang Weifang was happy for the two people when she saw them buying new color TVs. The fact that they could spend more than 2,000 yuan at one time showed their financial resources.

However, what Zhang Weifang didn't know was that the two of them had no money left. Wang Fuzi had always spent money lavishly, so this time, buying a color TV almost used up all the family savings.

However, Zhang Weibao received a salary every month, so the two of them had no worries at all.

On the morning of June 18, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and there was a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city. After a while, there were lightning and thunder in the sky, and soon, raindrops as big as beans fell.

It has been hot for several months and the crops in the fields need rain, so everyone is looking forward to this rain.

Crackle, clackle...

Raindrops as big as beans poured down, forming a curtain of rain that made it impossible to see the outside world. People on the street ran home to avoid this sudden downpour.

The people in the house looked at the scene outside through the glass windows. The rain was hitting the ground violently, splashing water, as if countless pearls were jumping in the air. They quickly gathered into small streams and flowed along the terrain.

The sounds of rain and wind intertwined to form a passionate symphony. The trees in the distance were swaying in the wind, and the branches were swaying in the wind, as if they were fighting against nature.

The people in the house sat quietly in front of the window, feeling the power of nature. They admired the beautiful scenery outside the window and were in awe of the magic of nature.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, with only the sound of rain and wind echoing in my ears.

It was soon noon and time to make lunch, but the heavy rain was still pouring down with no sign of stopping.

Wang Fuzi went to the kitchen with an umbrella and made a makeshift lunch, which everyone ate together.

In this way, heavy rain fell for a whole day and night. Early the next morning, Zhang Weifang heard a "boom" while she was still asleep. After being woken up, she thought it was thundering outside.

It was not until she heard another "crashing" sound that Zhang Weifang was completely awakened. She put on her clothes and shouted towards the door:

"Maintenance, is there something collapsed?"

"Sister, it's okay. The wall behind our house was collapsed by the flood."

As the sounds of buildings collapsing one after another were heard, the heavy rain gradually stopped.

Stepping on the steam, Zhang Weifang walked out of the room. The puddles on the ground remained the same. As soon as she walked out of the door, she saw the street full of neighbors.

Looking around, we saw that the roofs or walls of several houses around had collapsed, which shows the power of this heavy rain.

The village committee has begun to register the collapsed houses and affected livestock. Fortunately, after the final statistics, it was found that all the villagers were safe, which is a blessing in disguise.

Later, everyone found out from watching TV that this time it was not only the village that suffered the disaster, but also the Yangtze River, Nenjiang River and Songhua River basins were flooded. This was a nationwide disaster.

Compared with other places, this little disaster in the village is nothing, and the government has subsidized the cost of repairing houses and roads.

But those families who raise chickens, sheep and rabbits can only bear the loss of these poultry themselves. However, this is a minority after all, and there are only three or four households in the village that raise poultry.

What made Zhang Weifang happy was that the well at home was also full, and the water level had risen to the wellhead, so she could reach it with just her hand.

It was the first time that Zhang Weifang saw a full well. She squatted at the wellhead and watched for a long time.

However, this sudden heavy rain brought great trouble and losses to people.

The newly grown seedlings of crops were ruthlessly swept away by the surging waters, and many families had to face the dilemma of replanting.

The hope for a good harvest was instantly shattered, replaced by endless worries and helplessness.

Each seedling is the result of farmers’ hard work, and they carry their longing for a better life in the future.

But now, all of this has been destroyed by the fierce rainstorm. Everyone stood by the field, looking at the devastated scene before them, their hearts filled with helplessness and loss.
