"Mom and Dad, it keeps raining. Is there any food left?"
"No more! I just told your dad that there is no food left and the children have nothing to eat." Liu Xiaofeng looked worried.
Xu Yan's brows were furrowed all the time. The children were at home and it was definitely not okay for them to go without food.
"Where's my second brother?"
He planned to call Xu Lin and Xu Tao, and the three of them would go to the city to buy food.
"Xu Lin, come out." Liu Xiaofeng shouted, and Xu Lin, who was in the room, came out.
"Second brother, let's go to the city in the afternoon to buy some food. We don't know how many days the rain will last, so we should prepare some food." Xu Yan said to Xu Lin.
"Okay, I'll wear the straw raincoat, and we'll go there by pulling the cart."
"Well, I'll go borrow a car and ask Xu Tao to come with us. It will be easier for the three of us to go." Xu Yan said as he went out and walked towards Xu Er's house.
Xu Er was watching the continuous heavy rain at home and was scratching his head anxiously.
"What horrible weather! Why is it raining at this time? It's been raining for two days and it doesn't seem to stop. If it keeps raining, the crops in the fields will be flooded. What will happen to the harvest?"
His wife Wu Yuxiang said, "You'd better think about what we're going to eat these days. The food at home is almost gone, and there will be nothing to eat tomorrow.
You should think of a solution quickly."
"How can I find a solution? It's raining so hard, where can I find food? It's not safe for me to go into the city alone. The rice and flour will definitely get wet."
Wu Yuxiang had no choice but to sit aside, sighing and cursing the bad weather.
"Xu Er!" Xu Yan shouted outside.
Xu Er heard the voice and was a little puzzled: "Who would come to see me in such a rainy day?"
"You'll know if you go and take a look. Go now!"
After putting on his shoes, he came out and saw that it was Xu Yan, so he quickly let her in.
"I'm not going in. I came to borrow your cart because I want to go into the city." Xu Yan said directly.
When Xu Er heard that he was going into the city, he quickly asked, "Are you going into the city to buy food?"
"I'm going too. I'll go with you." Without waiting for Xu Yan to reply, he turned around, went in to get his raincoat, and then came out again.
Wu Yuxiang called him from behind, but he didn't answer and waited for Xu Yan to leave in a hurry.
"Go find Xu Tao. You said I was the one who called him. I'm going home." After saying that, he walked towards home. He wanted to tell Tang Yiyi that he was going to the city.
I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find me when she woke up.
Without disturbing Tang Yiyi's sleep, he called Xiao Baozi, gave him some instructions, and then went out with the oilcloth in the space.
When the three of them came back, it was already dark.
The cart stopped in Xu Er's yard, and then they carried their own food back home.
Xu Yan also delivered the portion for Liu Xiaofeng and the others, then carried the portion he bought back home, put the things in the new house, and then returned to the space.
Tang Yiyi was watching TV. When she heard the voice, she knew Xu Yan was back.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I made dinner, hurry up and eat, Xiao Baozi and I have already eaten."
Xu Yan picked up the pancake and started eating: "I also bought some rice and flour, so that they won't get suspicious. I put it in the new house, and it won't go bad in this weather."
"Well, it all depends on when the rain stops. Otherwise, not only will the crops be bad, but everyone will probably starve."
Xu Yan was eating with a lot on her mind. There were so many people in the village and they couldn't take care of them.
After dinner, Xu Yan took a shower, then lay on the bed and started reading.
Xu Yan was very obsessed with math problems and could never stop solving them once he started. Finally, Tang Yiyi felt sleepy and called him to go to bed, so he put down his pen and went to sleep with her.
This kind of days lasted for another two days. Tang Yiyi and Xu Yan stayed in the space for two days. Tang Yiyi couldn't stay any longer and wanted to go out and take a look.
When I went outside, I saw that it was no longer raining, but the sky was still dark, and there was water everywhere on the ground with some weeds floating on it.
"It finally stopped. The water is so high. Do you think there are any fish in the fields?"
She remembered that when she was a child, there were heavy rains and floods. Afterwards, the water was full of fish and everyone went fishing, having a lot of fun.
"There must be fish. Let's go check it out later."
Xu Yan took the bricks at the door back to the new house, then came back to pick up the fishing basket and net bag and went out.
"Watch your step."
"Okay, let's hurry up. I want to go catch fish." Tang Yiyi couldn't wait any longer. Her hands were itching to do something, and she had to show off her skills today.
Xu Yan held her hand, and seeing her anxious look, his face was full of doting and helplessness.
The two of them walked one after the other into the fields ahead. The shallowest water along the way was above the ankles, and in some fields the water was above the knees.
Someone saw Xu Yan and Tang Yiyi carrying things and walking towards the fields. They asked curiously, "Where are you going? It looks like it might rain again. There's so much water, it's dangerous!"
Wow, this guy is pretty nice!
"Auntie, let's go ahead and see if there are any fish. The water is so deep, there should be fish."
When the old lady heard there was a fish, her squinting eyes widened several times and she shouted at the top of her voice, "Fish? I'll catch one too!"
There were a few people standing and chatting not far away. When they heard that a fish had been caught, they all ran home to get their tools.
Finally, everyone in the village went to the fields to catch fish.
Just as Tang Yiyi said, there were a lot of fish in the fields. The villagers who had not had enough food in the past few days were like people with chicken blood, catching fish like crazy.
Tang Yiyi also joined the fishing team and hurriedly went into the water. As soon as he entered the water, he saw a two-pound crucian carp swimming in front of him.
