Chapter 39 It Won't Rain at All

Shen He once again joined the team carrying sandbags.

The originally low riverbank was raised up by people one bag at a time, and soon it was half a meter high.

The officers and soldiers of the army have long been experienced in flood control and disaster relief.

Therefore, the location they reinforced was close to the village entrance.

A hole was left in the low-lying areas of the village to allow water to flow into the lower reaches of the river.

The villagers living in low-lying areas can only move to higher places in advance.

Su Ranran stood there for a while before turning around and walking towards the shifting crowd.

The rice that the team had just harvested and dried had all been moved to the abandoned house of the former landlord.

The terrain there is the highest, and even if there is a flood, it will not be flooded.

The clever villagers sent their valuables over early on.

Pan Shuifang treated her two hens like treasures and secretly hid them somewhere.

Seeing Su Ranran coming, she told her to take good care of the two chickens, and she also had to go back to bring up the sweet potatoes from home.

There were many rooms in the landlord's abandoned house, which could easily accommodate half a brigade of people.

Although there were holes in the roofs of many rooms, it was still sturdier than the houses of many other people in the team.

Staying here, you won't be flooded even if there is a flood.

In the previous life, the team members didn’t know that the rain would last so long. By the time they thought about evacuating, all the houses in the village were flooded.

Even if they had extraordinary abilities, they could not fly to the landlord's house.

Only Li Xueqiu's family moved their things to Mr. Huang's house early.

He also occupied the best house of the rich man, and the whole family lived a life of luxury.

He watched coldly as the people of the Shuiqiao Brigade struggled hard in the flood, and finally appeared in the name of a savior, using the excuse that he had found food left by Mr. Huang in the cellar.

The villagers almost worshipped her as a deity.

Admittedly, Li Xueqiu had no obligation to save the villagers. After all, if he made trouble, he would be blamed by others.

What she did was undoubtedly in her best interest.

But Su Ranran knew very well that even if she could ignore it, Shen He would never abandon the villagers and walk away.

The military uniform meant that he would never abandon the common people.

She warned the villagers in advance, wasn't it so that he wouldn't have to go out to rescue others when the flood came?

Under Wang Fulai's command, everyone evacuated to Mr. Huang's house in an orderly manner.

The rest of those who were on high ground and unwilling to leave stayed in their own homes.

Everything is ready and time is passing by little by little.

There are only three hours left before it rained in the last life.

But the sun is still hanging high in the sky.

The sky was clear without a single white cloud, and there was no sign of rain at all.

At this time, someone couldn't help but mutter.

"Will there really be a heavy rain? Are we working for nothing?"

Su Ranran, who was standing at the door, heard this, but she didn't pay any attention to it.

Her eyes were fixed on the gate, and her palms were already soaked with sweat.

The sky was so blue that it seemed like ink was dripping, and the air was so stuffy that it was hard to breathe.

The weather in July was already extremely hot, and with so many people crowded into Mr. Huang's house, it was even hotter and more irritable.

I don't know how much time had passed, the sky was still blue, but the landlord's house became increasingly hot and stuffy.

Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore, cursed, and ran out of the house.

"It's so hot, the workers have gone home, if the rain comes, it will come, I don't believe it can drown me!"

Seeing someone rushing out, those who had been reluctant to come up could no longer stay.

After a while, more than a dozen people walked out of Mr. Huang's house.

Wang Fulai hurried forward to stop the man.

Although there is no sign of rain in the weather, it is more like a drought as the young expert said.

But now it is not up to him to decide whether it is drought or rain. The higher-ups have already issued an order for him to do a good job of resettling the members.

Not only that, the army also sent people to reinforce the river embankment.

Seeing such a huge battle, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.

But everything was ready, but it still didn't rain. How could those people listen to the advice?

After a while, the dozen or so people rushed out the door forcefully.

The remaining hundreds of people were also restless and looked like they wanted to leave at any time.

Su Ranran saw it all and became extremely anxious.

What she was worried about was not their safety, but she was afraid that they would run away and her man would have to go and find them.

Fortunately, Secretary Qi had already made a prompt decision and sent militiamen to guard the gate of the house to prevent anyone from leaving.

Two more hours passed and the weather became increasingly hot and humid.

Su Ranran stood at the door of the hall and could barely breathe some air.

But the people in the house couldn't bear it anymore.

Not long after, another twenty or thirty people walked to the gate of the house.

Some people even took their own food with them, as if they were not going to come back.

Secretary Qi was now anxious, and he earnestly urged them to wait a little longer.

But humans are such strange animals, once they decide that it won't rain, no matter how much you persuade them, it's useless.

Not only did they want to leave, they also cursed that the experts were all liars and that they had harvested the rice early.

If we wait a few more days, won't the rice grow more fully?

Moreover, they had been harvesting for so many days, but there was not a single sign of the person who was judging the model workers.

The more he talked, the angrier he became, and suddenly the gate became noisy.

Some people are clamoring to bring together experts for a "conference", but they have no real skills and can only fool people.

Experts like this should be sent to the brigade for transformation!

Just as the situation was about to get out of control, suddenly, the sound of orderly footsteps was heard outside the door!

Su Ranran looked up and saw a group of soldiers in military uniforms walking in.

Shen He was among them!

When she saw him, Su Ranran's eyes suddenly lit up with amazing light.

Unable to resist, she waved at him.

Naturally, Shen He saw his daughter-in-law waiting at the door at a glance.

But the people in the room were obviously making trouble, and he didn't have time to say more to her.

But when he passed by her, he put her in a corner again, and then led the others into the house.

Seeing the soldiers coming, the troublemakers suddenly stopped talking loudly.

But no one dares to use the hard approach, but there are still people who dare to speak up for the soft approach.

"Comrade Soldier, please talk to the secretary and let us go home. It won't rain today!"

"That's right, it's too hot here, I'm about to get heat stroke, let's go back!"

Everyone was talking at once, and the room was about to become noisy again.

Shen He raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
