He squatted down, put the shoulder pole on his shoulders, straightened his back, straightened his knees, and picked up both baskets.
There was a half frame in each. Tian Xiaolan went out to take a look first and found that she was not peeking. Her head was still buried in the wall. She waved to Lei Zhong and told him to leave quickly.
Lei Zhongtiao walked out steadily. Tian Xiaolan waited until he left before closing the door.
He warned: "If you dare to call for help, I will come find you at night!"
Wang Cuihua quickly shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
After coming out, Lei Zhong asked: "Where did you put the rice? And how do you get it out?"
"So, you can take it to the big pot first. I've won a bonus before, so just consider it as something I bought and specially share it with everyone."
This rice can only be explained by saying it in her name. Tian Xiaolan looked behind her vigilantly to make sure there was no rice left before walking back to the front.
"Of course you can, but if you take out the rice now, Wang Long will definitely be suspicious of you!"
Tian Xiaolan said nonchalantly, "I doubt it, but I also suspect he stole everyone's food!"
"Then go to you now."
Tian Xiaolan asked, "Let's go, can you hold on?"
This little bit of rice is nothing. He always carries a full basket. His waist will feel a little tired after carrying it for a long time, but everything else is fine.
Lei Zhong surpassed her in a few steps: "It's not heavy, you should walk faster too."
Tian Xiaolan walked past him and arrived soon.
Walking into the yard where everyone was cooking together, the gate was ajar. Tian Xiaolan called him in, and Lei Zhong then walked into the house carrying two baskets, swaying slightly.
He didn't put it down after entering the house. He looked at Tian Xiaolan, waiting for her instructions.
Tian Xiaolan thought for a moment and said to him, "Come with me."
Take him to the kitchen and walk to the rice jar: "Uncle, put it down."
"Just put it here?"
Seeing that she looked calm, as if she had done nothing, Lei Zhong admired her from the bottom of his heart!
"Yes, only here will it be okay," Tian Xiaolan replied with a smile, pointing to the rice jar. "Let me tell you, if we put it somewhere else, he'll say we came from the wrong place and why we're hiding it so well. So just pour it in here."
Lei Zhong thought about it and realized that this was the case. He lifted the basket and held the bottom of the basket with his hands. He placed the mouth of the basket against the jar and poured the liquid in. "Okay."
"You can go back now. Remember what I said. It's best to go on the radio now to eliminate your alibi?"
Lei Zhong was stunned and asked, "What is an alibi?"
"You just haven't been to his house, understand?"
Before I said this, the sky suddenly darkened. It was sunny before noon, but now it was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Tian Xiaolan's heart skipped a beat and she ran to the yard and looked up at the sky.
A black cloud floated in the sky from somewhere, rolling towards this direction, and the wind started to blow.
Then, a loud thunder "exploded" and Tian Xiaolan trembled with fear. The thunder was really powerful, and even the house seemed to tremble.
Behind them, silver lightning flashed across the sky, and the rumbling thunder became louder and louder.
Comparing the two, food is more important than human life, so she now has to change her strategy.
Tian Xiaolan urged him anxiously: "Take me to the broadcasting room quickly. It's going to rain soon and there might be a landslide."
"Okay, let's go."
Tian Xiaolan turned around and shouted, "Master Zhu, drive the machine to the village quickly. Don't leave it in the fields, or it will be buried in the soil."
Zhu Zhi heard her shouting, and although he didn't know whether it was true or not, he had to ensure the integrity of the machine, so he went out in the wind to drive the machine back.
After saying that, Tian Xiaolan followed Lei Zhong outside. Passing by the houses of some villagers who were woken up by the thunder and came out to see what was happening, they saw Tian Xiaolan running very fast after Lei Zhong and asked, "Captain, where are you going?"
Lei Zhong shouted to him, "Hurry up and harvest the grain! It's going to rain."
The villagers were surprised and said, "What's the big deal about the rain? At most, some of the millet will be threshed, and some of the unripe millet will turn yellow after being soaked by the rain."
Seeing that her explanation was not convincing, Tian Xiaolan spoke up: "Think about it, the millet harvested in the fields will sprout after being exposed to rain. Then you can eat the sprouted millet!"
The man was indeed shaken after hearing this. His mother advised him, "Listen to the captain and go collect it quickly."
The two of them shouted as they walked. Those who lived far away had to be notified via radio to save time. When they arrived at the broadcasting room, it was still locked. Tian Xiaolan kicked the door and it fell down.
Tian Xiaolan walked through the door and came to a long, curved microphone. She turned it on, tapped the microphone twice, and said, "I'm Tian Xiaolan. Everyone, listen to me. The land god and land goddess in my dream told me that the rain coming now will wash away our mountain. Don't panic, everyone. In order to have food to eat next year, we must unite as one and listen to my arrangements. This is not an act, it is really going to happen. Now, the children and the elderly should stay at home, and the women should rush to harvest the millet drying in the dam. The rest of you should go to the fields to harvest rice. Grab as much as you can. If you believe me, go now! If you don't believe me, you will only have less food to eat next year!"
Hu Chunsheng heard Tian Xiaolan's voice on the radio at home, but he didn't care at all what she said, thinking she must be talking nonsense.
Plans cannot keep up with changes. The soil on that mountain is loose and some rocks fall from time to time. After being notified, all she has to do now is go to the mountain. She knows it is dangerous, but if she doesn't do it, no one else will.
Tian Xiaolan spread her hands and said, "Let's go. I'm done. Let's go harvest the grain."
Lei Zhong also joined the ranks of harvesting rice with a sickle.
Most people were shocked after hearing what Tian Xiaolan said on the radio. If there really was a landslide, they had only harvested half of the millet, which was not enough to hand in. They would be in big trouble then.
We must rescue the food. Any hesitation would be disrespectful to the food. Many people picked up sickles and ran to the fields.
At this time, it had started to rain, and the rain was densely interwoven above the rice fields. The drizzle fell as softly as cow hair, covering the golden rice fields.
The farmers brought nothing but straw raincoats and worked hard to harvest rice in the rain. They bent down quickly, with nervousness on their faces, and waved their sickles skillfully. One stalk of plump rice after another was harvested in the rain and put into baskets and backpacks.
After Tian Xiaolan finished speaking, she strode towards the fish pond. She was now racing against time. Although her throat was already filled with blood, she swallowed it and continued to run straight up the mountain.
When passing by the fish pond, Xing Yifei saw her hurriedly running up the mountain and frowned to stop her: "You said there was going to be a landslide, why are you still going up the mountain now? Are you trying to kill yourself?!"
Xing Yifei did not doubt the truthfulness of her words, but was angry that she did not take care of herself. Raindrops fell on her face. After she went up, the mountain road was so slippery due to the rain. How was she supposed to come down?
