The weather was sunny for three days, and on Saturday night, the north wind started blowing again.
As the north wind blew, the temperature became colder, and the moon that had just hung on the branches was once again tightly covered by the dark clouds rolling out from the sky.
He Tingjun found three thick wooden sticks and made a stable tripod to support the pepper tree that had just been transplanted in the yard, so that the newly grown sapling would not be able to withstand the ravages of the wind and rain.
As soon as Yun Qiao closed the window, raindrops as big as beans began to fall from the sky, crackling like beans falling from the sky.
Seeing the heavy rain, He Tingjun quickly packed up the other things in the yard and went back to the house to close the door. He moved quickly, but even so, he was still a little wet.
Yun Qiao brought him a towel and said, "Wipe yourself."
He Tingjun took it and said, "The wind is stronger this time than last time. I think the rain will be even heavier this time."
"It's only the end of the month and we've started to have frequent heavy rains. By June and July, won't the rain flood all the crops?" Yun Qiao frowned and said worriedly.
She had been in the Great Northern Wilderness for two years and had never encountered such a situation.
In fact, the flooding of crops is a minor matter. The most dangerous thing is the increase in rainfall, which causes mountain torrents and mudslides.
The former will result in loss of food production, but once the latter occurs, people will die directly.
However, Yun Qiao was pregnant, so He Tingjun would not tell her these words, as it would increase her worries for no reason and would be detrimental to the pregnancy.
"Don't worry. Natural disasters are inevitable, but we can do our best to prevent them," He Tingjun consoled him. "Look, if ordinary people like us can think of something, the leaders above us can definitely think of it too. They'll definitely discuss countermeasures in advance."
Yun Qiao nodded, feeling a little relieved.
"I hope this rain will stop soon." she said softly.
The rain outside the window was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the window and making crackling sounds.
Yun Qiao checked the windows again to make sure there were no leaks. Then he yawned and went to the kang. "Luckily, today is Sunday, so I don't have to go to work. Otherwise, I would be embarrassed to ask for leave every time it rains."
He Tingjun said, "There aren't many patients in the clinic on rainy days. Since the leaders of the military uniform factory haven't said anything and have tacitly agreed that you can take leave, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Your health is the most important thing."
Yun Qiao hummed, "I'm just saying, you still have to ask for leave if you need it."
Cui Xuezhi's kick from behind with her big belly frightened Yun Qiao.
Everyone else was also very scared, so now no company dares to force pregnant women to go to work in the rain, and the pregnant women themselves don't dare to take the risk, for fear of something happening.
The heavy rain lasted all night and gradually stopped the next morning, but the sky was still overcast and it looked like it would rain again soon.
The two newly planted pepper trees at the base of the wall were knocked over by the rain. He Tingjun straightened them up, added soil, and built a support frame, hoping that they could withstand the rain and continue to work.
After breakfast, He Tingjun returned to the group to wait for orders. Yun Qiao, accompanied by Feng Juan, took a walk on the road not far from home so that they could return in time even if it rained.
The air after the rain is very fresh, and there is a smell of grass in the nose.
Yun Qiao met Xia Qing, who was taking her child for a walk, in the small square. They chatted for a while, and then saw that the north wind was blowing again, which seemed like a prelude to rain, so they said goodbye in a hurry and went home.
They were lucky. Just two minutes after they entered the house, raindrops started falling from the sky.
Feng Juan was bored on a rainy day, so she picked up her sewing basket and sat at the door of the main room, sewing small clothes for Yun Qiao's future children. Yun Qiao took a high school textbook and sat at the desk to review.
When she was in high school, the Red Guards were causing the most trouble. The school was in chaos, the teachers basically didn't teach anything, and she didn't learn anything. Now that she had some free time, it was a good opportunity to re-study the course so that she would have more confidence when the college entrance examination was resumed.
