When Xu's father heard his daughter-in-law's noisy voice, he frowned and looked at his eldest son with a puzzled look on his face: "Where is your mother shouting?"

Brother Xu ran over to listen, and soon turned back with a look of surprise on his face.

"Dad, something big happened. My little sister is on the newspaper!" Brother Xu's face was full of joy and pride.

Mr. Xu was still learning how to repair the machine and didn't react until someone reminded him.

"Captain, your daughter is in the newspaper?"

"What? It's in the newspaper?" Father Xu finally reacted and walked quickly towards Mother Xu.

When he saw his wife, he snatched the newspaper away, put on his glasses, and read it carefully. The more he read, the more his smile corners raised.

"Captain, what's written in the newspaper? What great thing did Yingying do again?"

During this period of time, everyone has become accustomed to the fact that the captain's girl is a capable person. As long as you hear her name, you know that this girl must have done something great again.

Father Xu had the excitement of an old father on his face: "My daughter sold the products from our food factory and textile factory to the Friendship Building.

Do you know what the Friendship Building is for? "

Everyone was puzzled. The Friendship Building sounded similar to a department store. Could it be that it was a place that sold things? If selling things was something special, their department store would already be selling things from food factories and textile factories.

The deputy captain couldn't bear to watch it anymore and urged, "Brother Jianguo, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us all right away."

Father Xu laughed and said, “The Friendship Building is a place that sells things to foreigners.

It's not easy to get into that place. We Chinese can't get in at all. Only big foreign businessmen can get in.

The products of the Magic City Food Factory couldn’t be sold, but our products were sold. What does this prove? It proves how great our food factory is.”

Everyone understood what Father Xu said. Their faces were filled with shock, followed by joy.

As everyone's faces were filled with smiles, drops of water splashed on the ground in the yard, one drop after another.

Following lightning and thunder, heavy rain fell like crazy.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a layer of gauze between the sky and the earth, and it was hazy. The rain was getting heavier, as if someone was pouring large basins of water down. The raindrops hit the windows, making crackling sounds.

It makes people's hearts tremble.

Father Xu didn't care about it at first, but when he thought about how his daughter had been concerned about the dam for some time, his heart suddenly tightened.

After the daughter fell into the river last time, she woke up and told them that she had a big dream.

At that time, Xu's father realized that something was wrong. Maybe this was not a dream, but his daughter could predict future changes.

Looking at the heavy rain outside the window, Father Xu's face was full of worry.

Everyone in the workshop was all smiles when they saw the heavy rain: "Finally it rains. It's been more than a month since the Chinese New Year and there has been no rain. If it doesn't rain again, the crops in the fields will dry up."

Although they have jobs now, the farmers still depend on the weather for their livelihood.

If God blesses them with smooth sailing, then those who farm the land will suffer less and the harvests from the fields will be better.

But if there is a drought or flood, there may be no harvest for the whole year.

The lack of food affects not only the common people, but also the people in big cities who eat food that comes from their countryside.

But as the raindrops grew bigger and bigger, the originally compact raindrops turned into heavy rain, and the rain poured out as if there was a big hole in the sky.

Everyone's expressions changed again and again.

An elderly man said solemnly: "This rain doesn't look like good rain."

The speaker is the oldest elder in the village. He experienced famine when he was young. At this moment, looking at the heavy rain outside the window, he was full of fear and hoped that it was not what he thought.

Grandpa Xu is the oldest person in the village and is usually in charge of observing the weather.

After all, country people don’t have televisions or radios, and have no tools to check the weather at all. They have to rely on the weather for their livelihood.

Uncle Xu walked to the gate, raised his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky, his brows furrowed even deeper, thinking about that girl Yingying who asked him to check the dam before, could it be that she knew something?

That girl is smart, who knows what news she heard from somewhere.

Uncle Xu looked at Father Xu with a complicated expression on his face: "Jianguo, take me to find Yingying.

The rest of you should hurry home.”

Those who can go home should go back quickly before the rain water accumulates. Otherwise, so many people will be trapped in a village without enough food, which will make the situation even worse.

When the others heard Grandpa Xu's words, their hearts skipped a beat. The people from other villages didn't dare to ask any more questions and rushed back home in the rain.

The remaining villagers looked at Uncle Xu with serious expressions: "Uncle Xu, what's wrong with this rain?"

Uncle Xu kept silent.

Now everyone was even more frightened.

"Uncle Xu, why don't you tell everyone?" Everyone was extremely anxious.

Uncle Xu's weathered face was filled with worry: "I dare not comment on this matter in private, let's wait a few days.

Jianguo, let's go to your house first. I have something to ask Yingying."

Father Xu made a rough guess, and the others were not stupid either.

Everyone has been disobedient when they were young and has been scared by the elders in the family.

Everyone still remembers the flood in Yu County decades ago, when heavy rain destroyed houses and all nearby villages were submerged.

"It's okay. We have built houses this year. They are all two-story and sturdy. Nothing will happen for sure." One of the villagers said, trying to reassure people.

Everyone was amazed when they heard this. The newly built house is very solid.

Father Xu took Uncle Xu and hurried home. Mother Xu, Father Xu's younger brothers, and cousins ​​followed them home.

Uncle Xu saw Xu Ying and asked directly, "Yingying, you asked us to pay attention to the dam before. Did you know about the heavy rain a long time ago?"

The others were all shocked and looked at Xu Ying.

How could she have known this already? She is not a god.

Xu Ying nodded: "What Master Xu said is true. I was on a business trip before, and I happened to see the weather forecast on TV one time. It said that it would rain in our city.

What's more, it was a rainstorm. I didn't know whether it was true or not at the time, but I knew how important the dam issue was. My father was the team leader, and I had heard about it since I was a child, so I naturally knew it.

I just reminded my dad to pay attention to the dam, but I don’t know the rest.

"Did Master Xu see something?"

After hearing Xu Ying's explanation, Uncle Xu sighed and thought he was overthinking it.

"I can tell from the weather that the rain won't stop any time soon, at least for the next week.

If it keeps raining this hard, the crops in our fields will definitely be flooded. What will we do then?"
