Jiang Dahai smiled, then lay down again, resting his hands on the pillow, his eyes fixed on the blue sky and white clouds above his head.
He held a dry cat grass in the corner of his mouth and said, "I am going to quit this year too. I really envy you for having someone to help you.
I have to work hard in the future, so that when we have the chance to get together in the future, I can’t do too badly. "
Zhang Qingdong felt sad when he heard this.
He lowered his head to look at Jiang Dahai's eyes as he looked at the blue sky and white clouds, and fell silent for a moment.
The three grown men remained silent.
They all knew very well that after coming here for more than ten years, they would leave one after another, it was just a matter of time.
Time seems to pass quickly, and another summer vacation is here in the blink of an eye.
After the New Year, Tian Yujun is doing well and she is becoming more and more motivated.
As for Jiang Wan, she stayed at home during the summer vacation.
The weather is hot, but fortunately there are two fruit trees in the yard. Jiang Wan can go to the yard to enjoy the cool in the afternoon.
She is now more than six months pregnant and the baby is due in September.
There is a telephone at home, and she would call Tian Yujun every once in a while.
The two mothers took good care of Jiang Wan. Jiang Wan gained some weight and had a baby face that looked hydrated and fair.
Four adults accompanied Jiang Wan to take photos and mailed them to Zhang Qingdong. Late at night, Zhang Qingdong lay on the bed holding the photos. His rough big hands gently stroked the people in the photos, sometimes kissing Jiang Wan's face, sometimes kissing her belly.
I miss her so much. I want to hug her and touch her belly.
Zhang Qingdong looked at the ugly little babies at the bedside and sometimes couldn't help but smile, with doting in his eyes.
Jiang Wan's mind is too pure, and he is not afraid of anything frightening or scary at all.
She dug soil from the cemetery, and he made a few dolls and placed them at the head of the bed. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be scared to death in their midnight dreams.
This summer vacation was really too hard for Zhang Qingdong.
In the middle of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, there was another heavy rainstorm in Tian Yujun's area, which was even heavier than the one in 1977.
Chen Jianguo led a large group of people to fight the flood. The road between the town and the county seat was washed away. They worked for four days and five nights to repair the road overnight.
During the days of heavy rain, Tian Yujun's store was full of people. She was anxious because she couldn't get through to Chen Jianguo on the phone.
She had just purchased a three-wheeled motorcycle, and as soon as the road was opened that afternoon, she asked Wang Daqing to steam buns for a day, stir-fry meat sauce for a day, and boil a lot of eggs.
She was riding her three-wheeled motorcycle to the town alone, and it started to rain heavily halfway.
She used oilcloth to wrap up all the steamed buns and vegetables on the back of the three-wheeled motorcycle, rolled up her trouser legs, and pedaled the three-wheeled motorcycle forward with difficulty.
Fortunately, this road is gravel, and mud won't get stuck in the chain of the three-wheeled motorcycle. If it gets stuck in mud, she won't be able to ride it at all.
When Tian Yujun was in the town, the villagers in the town suffered from floods in the past few years. Most of the houses were newly built, and the damage this year was not very serious, but the villagers were also scared.
On both sides of the road were several little kids sleeping soundly in the heavy rain. They were covered in mud and you couldn’t even see what they looked like on their faces.
Tian Yujun felt sad when he saw this.
She squatted aside and shook the person lying next to her.
"Xiao Zhi, wake up and eat something."
Xiao Zhizhi opened his eyes, looked at the person in front of him, and was stunned and surprised.
Xiao Zhizhi looked at the white flour buns that Tian Xiaojun handed over and said, "Thank you, big sister. We are not hungry. Let's give them to the villagers first."
Tian 㫧君 交: "Eat first."
It’s not that the team’s logistical support is bad, it’s just that there are too many affected villagers in the town, and they must take care of them first.
Tian 㫧君夢: "Eat quickly, I brought a lot."
As Tian Yujun spoke, he broke the steamed bun, put a spoonful of meat sauce inside and spread it, then passed it to a few people and stuffed an egg into each person's mouth.
Tian Junyu: "Have you seen your Captain Chen?"
Xiao Zhiyu: "Captain Chen went to the river. There was a serious landslide near the river. The villagers gathered over there to protect the area."
After Xiao Xiaozhi finished answering, another Xiao Xiaozhi beside him recognized Tian Xiaojun and said, "You are my sister-in-law, right?"
Tian Yujun smiled and said, "Take your time to eat. I'll go find your Captain Chen."
There was mud on the road in the town, and Tian Yujun couldn't push his three-wheeled motorcycle forward.
When Jiang Dahai and a group of people passed by the granary, he saw Tian Xiaojun pause and said to the people around him: "Wait a minute, go help your sister-in-law."
These people strode towards Tian Yujun.
The heavy rain was still falling, Jiang Dahai asked: "Why are you here?
Your husband, Chen, will definitely get angry if he sees this."
Tian 㫧君妤: "I couldn't contact him, so I came to see him."
Jiang Dahai: "Let them move the things, I'll take you to find him."
Tian Yujun's trouser legs were covered in mud, and his black cloth shoes were filled with mud.
Tian 㫧君妤: "Eat a steamed bun first."
Jiang Dahai glanced at the steamed bun in Tian Xiaojun's hand and his stomach growled.
He said, "I've eaten it, save it for Lao Chen."
Tian Yujun followed behind Jiang Dahai silently. In Tian Yujun's impression, Jiang Dahai had always been a talkative person, but now he seemed to talk much less than before.
By the river, Chen Jianguo led a group of people to fill sandbags.
The rain is still falling, but the amount of rain upstream has decreased a lot, which means that it is no longer raining upstream.
The rain before us is probably just a few gusts of rain.
A big hole in the fields by the river was washed away by the river and it needs to be repaired as soon as possible.
Their work speed slowed down, and no one could lose weight after several days and nights without a good rest.
When Tian Yujun came, Chen Jianguo was working with an iron spade, and the way he looked was heartbreaking.
Tian Yujun's eyes were red, and Jiang Dahai called out, "Old Chen, your wife is here."
Chen Jianguo took a breath when he woke up. His face looked very red, and his lips were dry, white and cracked.
Chen Jianguo looked at Tian Xiaojun and his pupils shrank. He frowned when he saw that her rolled up trouser legs and calves were covered in mud.
It's so dangerous and raining so hard, why did she come here alone?
Chen Jianguo dropped the iron baton in his hand and strode towards Tian Yujun. His voice was neither loud nor soft, but his tone was tense and reprimanding: "Why are you here?"
Tian Yujun paused, knowing that he was angry.
This was the first time he spoke to her in such a fierce voice after they had been together for so long.
Xiao Zhizhi at the side stopped what he was doing and looked at the two of them.
Jiang Dahai: "What are you looking at? Put down your tools and eat. Your sister-in-law is here to bring you steamed buns, and the logistics department has also brought you some things."
The group of young idiots glanced at Chen Jianguo and waved their hands, signaling them to hurry up.
"Hurry up and go eat."
After the older kid kicked one of the younger kids on the butt, the group went to eat.
Jiang Dahai glanced at the two of them and left.
