Not long after, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin also got up.
As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw it was gloomy outside and I was stunned for a long time.
Then I realized it was going to rain soon!
After finishing their breakfast, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin hurried to find Uncle Lu.
"Uncle Lu, do you think it's going to rain soon?" Li Tugen asked, with some anticipation in his eyes.
"Um."
"Really? That's great!"
The food system, which had just been scolded by the boss, was a little depressed. Seeing that the humans bound by the boss were so stupid, he couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.
[What are you laughing at? How can it be a good thing if it rains now? You fool!]
"Why is rain not a good thing?" Li Xiaomin, who was standing by, asked in confusion when she heard her system say this.
[Haven’t you heard the saying that after a long drought there will be a great flood?]
"ah?!"
Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin were both shocked when they heard this.
"Uncle Lu..." They both looked at Uncle Lu.
"We will leave Jincheng in a few days. There is a Daxing Mountain outside the city. We can hide there for a while." Lu Changge said.
Coming out of the kitchen, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin looked at each other in silence.
Finally, Li Tugen said, "Let's end our cooperation with Fugui Building and Feiyun Building ahead of schedule. Let them know when they come over tomorrow."
"good."
Knowing that there might be flood disasters in the future, the joy brought by the rain is greatly reduced.
However, other people don't know this.
All they knew was that after more than a year of drought, it was finally going to rain.
Even at home, you can hear the joyful cheers coming from outside.
As time passed, the dark clouds gathered more and more.
The clouds were rolling and surging, and flashes of lightning occasionally pierced through the dense clouds.
The dull thunder slowly brewed from far to near, from low to high.
The kids ran into the yard and looked up at the sky.
"Boom--" another muffled thunder sounded.
"Daddy, what is that shiny thing in the sky?" Little Dumpling asked, pointing to the sky.
It hasn’t rained for more than a year, and little Tuanzi has a bad memory. His memory of when he was one or two years old is almost zero.
"That's thunder and lightning."
"Oh...what is thunder and lightning?" the little dumpling asked again.
Lu Changge: “…”
He knew what thunder and lightning were, but he didn't know how to explain it.
Fortunately, Xiaotuanzi is not the kind of person who likes to get to the bottom of things, so he skipped the topic.
The dark clouds and thunder were brewing more and more.
It was pitch black outside, which made the little girl feel inexplicably scared, so she quickly ran back into the house.
It was not even noon yet, but the oil lamps were already lit in the house.
With a "bang", the little dumpling closed the door and shut the thunder outside.
The door and windows were closed, and the noise outside could not be heard clearly, as if there was a layer of separation.
"Mom, it's dark outside and there's a loud noise. It's so scary..." The little girl ran to the bed, took off her shoes and climbed up.
"It's scary... But I won't be scared if I stay in the house with my mother." Su Qingyun said with a smile.
"Are you scared, little brother?" Little Dumpling sat in front of his brother and asked with a smile.
"Aaaah...ahhh..." Erbao saw his brother coming and rushed over with a grin.
Worried that he couldn't go out because of the rain, Lu Changge went into the kitchen early to make lunch.
Today's lunch consists mainly of rice and a few ordinary home-cooked dishes.
The highlight is the beef brisket pot.
The side dishes for the beef brisket pot include tomatoes, carrots, celery, and an apple.
After washing everything, dice tomatoes, chop carrots and apples into cubes, remove the tendons from celery and cut into sections.
After preparing the side dishes, start stir-frying.
Heat oil in a pan, add scallions and ginger slices and sauté until fragrant.
Next, add the side dishes one by one and stir-fry, then add the cooked beef brisket and stir-fry for a few times, then add water.
Finally, place all ingredients in a casserole and simmer for 20 minutes.
After lunch was ready, the thunder outside became louder and louder, and even the wind started to blow.
Lu Changge put the food into the lunch box, holding it in one hand and the bowl and chopsticks in the other.
The second time I came back I brought the beef brisket pot.
After entering the house, Lu Changge locked the door from the inside.
After Daddy came in, Little Dumpling felt completely relieved.
"Daddy, can I eat now?" Little Dumpling said in surprise.
"Okay, come and have dinner." Lu Changge said as he put the food out.
When Su Qingyun heard this, she got off the bed, picked up Erbao and walked over.
The second baby is still young and was a little scared by the increasingly loud thunder. He needs someone to hold him to feel safe.
Lu Changge served the rice, put a bib on Tuanzi, and then brought Erbao over.
"Are you scared?" Lu Changge looked up and asked when he saw Erbao's red eyes.
"Yeah, he cries when no one holds him." Su Qingyun said helplessly.
“Aiya…” Erbao, who had been feeling somewhat aggrieved, instantly grinned when he saw his daddy.
Lu Changge held Erbao in one hand and sat down to eat.
"Dad, brother Jinbao didn't come today." Tuanzi, who was originally concentrating on eating, suddenly looked up and said.
"Yeah." Lu Changge responded.
"Is Brother Jinbao also scared and doesn't dare to come?" asked the little dumpling.
"Yes, he is timid." Lu Changge nodded.
Jin Bao, whose reputation was harmed, didn't know that his uncle Lu was framing him. At this time, he was detained in the room by his uncle and was not allowed to leave.
They waited until they had dinner and took a shower, but the rain didn't start.
There was still thunder outside. Tuanzi would sleep in his father and mother's room tonight.
At around nine o'clock in the evening, the rain that had been brewing all day finally came.
Thunder rumbled, and the occasional lightning made the pitch-black room as bright as day.
Tuanzi, who had fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a sound like thunder striking his ears.
"Oh, Daddy, Mom..." Tuanzi, who was awakened by the fright, sobbed and his eyes were full of tears.
"It's okay, it's okay. Daddy and Mom are here." Su Qingyun, who was lying next to him, took the dumpling over.
As for Lu Changge, he was sitting aside and comforting Erbao who was crying out of fear.
Lu Changge took out a diminished note that he had taken from the system earlier and stuck it on Erbao's back.
Soon, after adapting to the thunder which had weakened by a large margin, Erbao slowly fell asleep.
Lu Changge put the sleeping Erbao aside and also put the last diminished note on Tuanzi.
After both children fell asleep, Lu Changge lay down and held his wife in his arms from behind.
The thunder was still rumbling, as if a mountain was collapsing and the earth was splitting.
However, inside the house, on the bed, Lu Changge and his family of four were sleeping soundly.
Overnight
When I woke up the next day, there was only the sound of rain outside.
The sound of rain is not loud, but it seems like a lullaby.
Su Qingyun lay in the quilt, listened for a while and then fell asleep again.
When he woke up again, his husband and Tuanzi were no longer on the bed.
Only the second baby was lying there, with his big eyes wide open, neither crying nor making any noise.
Su Qingyun turned sideways and reached out to touch Erbao's little face.
"Erbao, wake up."
"Ah!" Seeing his grandfather wake up, Erbao kicked his little feet excitedly.
In the kitchen
Tuanzi brushed his teeth and washed his face, then stood at the door of the kitchenette and looked out.
"Daddy, there's so much water outside!"
"Um."
It rained heavily all night, and the rain water in the yard has now accumulated to the ankles.
Now, the rain outside has changed from heavy rain to light rain, and it is still drizzling.
"Daddy, is Brother Jinbao not coming again today?" asked the little girl.
"right."
Not only did Jin Bao fail to come today, but people from Fugui Building and Feiyun Building also failed to come.
There was more water on the street outside than in the yard, making it difficult for carriages to move.
Jincheng's original drainage channels and other drainage systems were occupied by other things and filled with soil.
Now that the problem has emerged, Feng Xunyuan directly ordered the troops stationed in Jincheng and the people in the government office to clean it up.
It’s just that those people just agreed on the surface but actually didn’t take it seriously.
After all, rain is just a common thing, and it may even stop in less than half a day.
Why bother doing this kind of dirty and tiring work?
So, after a few days, the rain continued to fall.
But the water in the city kept increasing.
Feng Xunyuan knew that the gang was secretly obeying their orders.
This time, Feng Xunyuan used tough measures to force them to clean up immediately.
After three days of working day and night, Jincheng's drainage system was finally able to operate normally.
However, the rain kept falling and it never stopped for more than half a day at most.
The accumulated water in the city never decreased.
"Uncle Lu, it has been raining for eight days in a row. When will it stop?" Li Tugen, standing under the eaves, looked up at the sky and said worriedly.
The rain never stopped and they couldn't leave.
"Let's wait a few more days and see." Lu Changge said.
If they don't stop, they will have to leave even if it rains heavily.
A few days passed, and finally on the last day of May, the sky cleared up.
Li Tugen woke up early in the morning and saw the sun rising outside, so he quickly ran to Uncle Lu's small kitchen.
"Uncle Lu, are you leaving today?"
"Well, leave after breakfast."
"Okay, I'll go tell Sister Xiaomin!" Li Tugen said, and ran back.
Their things had been packed up long before, and except for some daily necessities, everything else was placed in the system space.
Knowing that they were leaving today, the kids were very excited. After breakfast, they ran around in the corridor.
Their brothers, sisters and grandfather were cleaning up the remaining things in the house.
"Dad, we're gone. What should we do if Brother Jinbao comes and can't find us?" Tuanzi frowned and said hesitantly.
"It's okay, I'll go to his house and tell him later." Lu Changge said.
"good!"
After packing up their things, Lu Changge, Li Tugen and Li Xiaomin went out, found a deserted place to take out the carriage, and then drove back.
After moving all the things onto the carriage, Lu Changge went back and forth twice to carry Tuanzi, his wife and Erbao onto the carriage.
Dahei and Erhei also sat in their seats and set off.
Although there was no water on the streets, they were still muddy.
One step and the whole shoe is covered with mud.
Two roads were created where the carriage passed.
The wheels were also covered with a thick layer of mud.
Arriving at the place where Jinbao and his uncle were temporarily staying, Lu Changge picked a clean spot to park the car.
When he reached the gate, Lu Changge knocked a few times.
Soon the door opened and Jin Bao's eunuch came out.
"Mr. Lu? What brings you here?"
"Our family is leaving Jincheng today, and Tuanzi wants to come over and say hello to Jinbao." Lu Changge said.
"Please wait a moment. I'll go in and report." The eunuch felt something was wrong and turned back to ask, "How about you and your family come in and sit for a while?"
"Need not."
Seeing this, the eunuch had to quicken his pace.
When the eunuch went to report to the young prince, the young prince was also there.
"What?! Tuanzi and Uncle Lu are leaving!" Jinbao stood up suddenly.
"In that case..." Feng Xunyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Jin Bao, you go with them."
"ah?"
