Fortunately, the He family was some distance away from the mountain and was not seriously affected.
After the situation calmed down, He's father and He Huaishu hurriedly ran towards the house at the foot of the mountain.
At the same time, other villagers who were awakened also ran towards the houses at the foot of the mountain.
As I ran, I felt my heart filled with despair.
Is God still giving us a way to live?
The hailstorm had already cut off their food supply, and now this landslide would damage so many houses, and maybe even injure some people.
When the village chief led the villagers to the foot of the mountain, they saw that the houses near the foot of the mountain had been buried under stones and collapsed.
Fortunately, the villagers were awakened by the sound and ran out immediately.
There were only two or three people buried underneath, and the village chief quickly organized people to rescue them.
In addition, in the village, the villagers are more or less related to each other.
Those whose houses collapsed also went to stay temporarily with their relatives in the village.
The village chief stayed awake all night that night, and of course, the villagers also stayed awake with despair in their hearts until dawn.
When the village chief arrived at the brigade early the next morning.
The leaders of the brigade were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. They were busy counting the losses.
The village chief was just about to say how terrible things had happened to their village when he discovered that the village next door had suffered even worse.
The hillside in their village is relatively flat, needless to say the other villages.
The people who were previously injured by hail had not yet been accommodated, and now there are countless more injured people.
The village chief went around the brigade several times, but his uncle had no time to receive him.
He could only return to the village and shake his head at the villagers.
Perhaps they had a premonition in their hearts. Seeing the village chief shaking his head, the villagers just sighed, returned home in frustration, and sorted out the remaining food.
The village chief also returned home and thought about the next countermeasures.
The village chief made a plan for himself, the first of which was to lead the villagers to sow new seeds again.
The second point is to take the villagers to rebuild houses for those whose houses were damaged.
There are many people in the village, and these houses can be repaired within half a month.
Under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers began to work in an orderly manner according to the village chief's instructions.
As the food supply became less and less day by day, the villagers couldn't help but feel worried.
I’m afraid that one day when the food is gone, they will have to scramble to eat tree bark.
Every day when the village chief returned home and looked at his wife's face, he knew that the rice jar at home would soon be empty.
But what can he, the village chief, do?
He couldn't just go and ask the villagers for rice, could he?
Chen Hua's family was the first to run out of rice.
No one in the village knew what the future would be like, so they were extremely cautious about food supplies and no one was willing to lend food to others.
In addition, Chen Hua had bought new clothes before, and she was so proud of herself in the village that her head was almost raised to the sky.
At this time, Chen Hua found He Huai's home, looked at He's mother with tears in her eyes and said softly.
"Auntie, can you lend us some rice?
Our family really can’t make ends meet and can’t afford to eat.
My parents are old, I can’t just watch them go hungry.
Auntie, please lend me some rice. I will definitely pay you back. Please help our family."
At this time, He's mother looked at Chen Hua who was borrowing rice from her, pursed her lips as if thinking about something.
Yu Wan watched from the side without saying anything but waiting for He's mother to make her own decision.
Although He's mother was soft-hearted, she knew better than anyone that the opportunity to borrow food could not be opened.
Once it opens, who knows how many people in the village will come to them to borrow rice.
The rice at home is already scarce enough for the family to eat, what will happen if we lend it to others?
So He's mother looked at Chen Hua who was crying so sadly in front of her, and shook her head firmly.
"I'm sorry, Comrade Chen, I can't lend you any food. We're out of rice at home."
Hearing this, Chen Hua cried even harder.
"Aunt, I know you are from the city. You must have brought food to the village. Please help our family."
The reason why Chen Hua chose to borrow food from the He family.
Firstly, he wanted to use this grain borrowing matter to establish a relationship with the He family.
Secondly, their family was not very popular in the village, and not many people were willing to lend them food.
What's more, she and her mother had bought new clothes before, and when they were showing off in the village, countless villagers saw this scene.
Now that they know that they have used the old grain to buy new clothes, they are even more reluctant to lend them grain.
Looking at the person who was crying as if she was about to faint in the next second, He's mother shook her head firmly at her and then closed the door.
He Huaishi looked at the woman crying so sadly in front of him, looked at his mother hesitantly and said.
"Mom, we still have food at home, why don't you lend it to her?"
Seeing her daughter being so innocent under the protection of her family, He's mother sighed helplessly in her heart, but still chose to break down the truth and explain it to He Huaishi in detail.
"Huai Shi, you may think I'm cruel. Even though the other person was crying like that, I still rejected him.
But what I want to tell you is that we cannot open this loophole when it comes to borrowing grain.
