Chapter 97 Hail

Then he gave up the idea of ​​following them to grab food.

Time was running out, so she said nothing more.

He got up and went to the utility room to find a raincoat for Gu Cheng.

These were the simple straw hats and raincoats of that era. When Liu Yinyin went to the village market before, she bought two sets for backup at home.

However, because it hadn't rained, the raincoat was not needed, so Liu Yinyin threw it among the sundries and left it there.

He told him, "Then you should be careful."

After Gu Cheng left, Liu Yinyin couldn't sleep at home.

After coaxing Gu Yanyan to sleep, she opened the window and looked out.

The wind was blowing hard outside. When the window was opened, the strong wind whistled past her ears, and Liu Yinyin's hair was all messy.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin seemed to hear the sound of branches being broken by the wind outside.

Seeing this, Liu Yinyin quickly closed the window, fastened the bolt, and turned around to close the door.

For safety reasons, the doors and windows of the house were rebuilt to be very sturdy.

The weather suddenly turned cold, and Liu Yinyin found a small blanket to cover Gu Yanyan.

Not long after, Liu Yinyin suddenly heard a crackling sound coming from outside.

Oh my God!

Is it raining?

However, this movement seems a bit loud!

There was a ding-dong sound on the roof, not like raindrops, but more like...

Liu Yinyin's heart was pounding. If it hailed, not only the crops in the fields but also people would be in danger.

I don’t know what happened to the people in the village who went to rob.

Liu Yinyin was extremely anxious for a moment. In this situation, she didn't even dare to open the window because there were children at home.

Besides, it was most likely hailing outside and she couldn't go out at all.

There was a bang bang sound on the roof, and Liu Yinyin was a little worried that the tiles on the roof would be broken by the hail.

I don't know how much time passed, but the noise finally died down.

Tick-tick, tick-tick. Listening to the sound, it sounds like it's really raining now.

Liu Yinyin was very nervous. After waiting for a while, Gu Cheng still didn't come back.

It's still raining heavily outside.

The village chief Liu Changquan was currently harvesting food in the fields. Not only him, but other villagers were also crowding into the fields.

It was dark and couldn't see anything, but the villagers didn't dare to stop because they had to carry food!

There was a heavy hailstorm just now. Suddenly, hailstones as big as stones fell from the sky, covering our heads.

The crops in the field were instantly smashed to pieces, and the grains fell all over the ground. It was a horrible sight.

There were cries, curses and wails in the crowd.

The villagers found a place to hide for nearly half an hour before the hail stopped, and then came a heavy rainstorm.

Thinking of the food in the fields, the villagers ignored everything and plunged into the heavy rain.

When harvesting rice and corn, the fallen grains must be gathered from the ground.

Grains that have been soaked in water are prone to sprouting and mold, but no one cares too much about it. They just pick them up, dry them, and cook them. At least they can be eaten.

There were strong winds and heavy rain. Some people were too thin and were blown into the ground. They shook their heads, got up and continued to harvest food.

At this time, people can no longer see clearly. They rely on their instincts and think only of grabbing food, grabbing food, grabbing food......

We can't let the food be washed away by the heavy rain.

Food is life. Without food, how are they going to survive for the next year?

Braving the strong wind and heavy rain, the villagers worked hard with all their might.

Some people fell down with bruises on their faces but they did not dare to stop for a moment, and finally fainted on the ground from exhaustion.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but the heavy rain has not subsided at all. It seems to be making up for the missing rain this year.

Liu Yinyin had already left the room by now and took a basin from the kitchen and returned to her room.

After a heavy hailstorm, she just checked and found that there was a hole in the roof of the house and rain was pouring in.

There was no way to go to the roof to fix the leak now, so Liu Yinyin could only use a basin to collect the water.

The room was relatively okay, with only one hole broken into it; the kitchen and utility room were even worse.

Fortunately, there were many basins and buckets at home, and wherever there was a leak, Liu Yinyin placed a basin to collect the water.

There is food in the kitchen, firewood in the utility room, and all kinds of food, including rabbits, cannot be soaked in water.

There are also pig pens and chicken pens, and I don’t know what’s going on with them.

Before anyone even left, Liu Yinyin was so exhausted that her hair and clothes were all wet.

Thinking about Gu Cheng and the Liu family, Liu Yinyin put on her raincoat and wanted to go out to see what the situation was.

However, before she even went out, she heard Gu Yanyan crying.

Maybe it was because tonight was too unusual. Gu Yanyan was awakened several times. She felt insecure and was crying heartbreakingly.

What can Liu Yinyin do!

He hurriedly took off his raincoat, changed into dry clothes, and picked up Gu Yanyan to coax him.

Gu Yanyan was sobbing, his little hands holding on to his mother's collar tightly, and his little body shivered from time to time.

Liu Yinyin was almost crying in anxiety, and she didn't dare to put the child down.

After a while, the outside door banged.

Liu Yinyin put the child on the bed and hurried to open the door.

It wasn’t Gu Cheng who came back, it was Jiang Cuihua.

Jiang Cuihua was wearing a straw raincoat and was soaked all over.

Liu Yinyin's heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, "Mom, what happened?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing." Jiang Cuihua wiped the rain off her face, her voice a little hoarse, "Gu Cheng and your father are still brave the rain to collect food, I can't stand it anymore, so I'm coming back first."

Jiang Cuihua was old and couldn't hold on any longer so she went home, but she didn't stay at home for long because she thought that she was the only one at home with her daughter and the child.

There was no neighbor to tell her that she was safe, so she must be extremely worried now.

Jiang Cuihua was feeling very nervous. The more she thought about it, the more worried she became. She couldn't sit still at home any longer, so she put on her straw raincoat and came over to take a look.

The Liu family has Sister-in-law Liu at home taking care of the children, so there is no big problem.

After hearing this, the heavy stone in Liu Yinyin's heart finally fell to the ground. She sighed and took a dry towel to wipe Jiang Cuihua's hair.

Seeing that her clothes were all wet, she found a set of clean clothes and pants for her: "Mom, change quickly."

The weather is hot and cold, and it is easy to get sick in this kind of weather.

It's still raining heavily outside.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Cuihua was not in a hurry to go back, so she simply stayed here with her lady.

Liu Yinyin picked up Gu Yanyan again. She was not so anxious now. She patted his back and asked Jiang Cuihua, "Mom, how is it outside now? Is everything okay at home?"

Jiang Cuihua sighed and said with a sad face: "The crops in the fields are basically destroyed."

The crop growth was already poor this year, and they were hit by a heavy hailstorm.
