Thunder rumbled one after another, accompanied by terrifyingly bright lightning.
Before long, an urgent "tap-tap!" sound came from the window.
It's raining.
Yan Xiao was relieved that the little girl wouldn't be woken up, otherwise he didn't know if she would have nightmares.
…
The rain didn't stop until dawn.
The hazy rain obscured the color of the sky, making it appear as if a large hole had been torn in the sky when looking out.
The flooding of the former educated youth settlement last year still leaves a lingering sense of unease among the residents.
Feng Dabing puffed on his pipe, hoping that the rain would be more considerate and stop ravaging the people just before the harvest!
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.
...
It rained for a whole week.
The day the rain stopped, the sky was blue, and a beautiful rainbow arched across the sky.
But no one had the heart to appreciate it.
When Feng Dabing, wearing rain boots, led the village's laborers to check the fields, he had anticipated this.
But I still couldn't help but break through her defenses.
He hunched over, covered his eyes, and trembled uncontrollably.
That's all.
It's all gone.
The fields were flooded.
Standing at the edge of the field, you can't see any crops at all.
Yellow puddles were everywhere.
A thin male educated youth standing in the back row slipped and fell straight into a puddle at the edge of the field.
The terrain here isn't low, but the water was up to his waist.
"Lele, how are you? Are you alright?"
Yao Min carefully pulled the person up.
The originally gray pants were now covered in mud from the waist down.
Feng Dabing suppressed his near-collapse and took a deep breath.
A natural disaster. No matter how much he collapses, the crops will never recover.
All we can do now is grab as much as we can.
Report any damage promptly.
If this continues, none of us will have anything to eat this year.
Having figured all this out, he wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes and turned to make arrangements:
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, can you still walk? If you can, hurry back and change your clothes. That fall was quite hard. Don't come this afternoon, just rest in your dorm."
"The others take the tools, let's hurry up and dig a canal to get the water flowing. Let's see if we can save some of the situation."
They all looked incredibly silent and dejected.
"Cheer up! Save as many as you can! Now is not the time to lose heart! The higher-ups won't watch us starve to death."
