In Yuzhou City, there were strong winds, lightning and thunder, the sky seemed to have cracked open in countless openings, and the heavy rain formed a waterfall, pouring towards the earth.
River dam bungalow.
Warm yellow lights filled every corner of the house. In the small flowerpot on the desk, the heart-shaped green leaves of pothos hung down.
The floor fan is set to the shaking mode, swinging left and right to deliver gentle wind.
The girls' laughter and laughter came from the room, which was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.
There was a bed on the floor, and Xue Yuantong was lying on the mat on the bed, playing Landlord with sisters Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu.
Although there were four of them, they played a three-player version of Landlord. Because the twins were not smart enough, they chose to merge into one.
Jiang Ning held the tablet and sat on the edge of the bed to play games and watch the battle.
At this moment, the game has reached the final stage. As the landlords, the twins have only three cards left in their hands, a 6 and a pair of queens.
As farmers, Xue Yuantong and Bai Yuxia each had only one card left in their hands.
Chen Siyu held three cards, and now it was her turn to play.
She observed the two of them vigilantly, while her sister Chen Siqing stood aside to prepare for her.
Xue Yuantong gave Bai Yuxia a look, indicating that the situation was not good, and she wrote down all the cards that had been played.
So, she calculated the cards in the hands of several people present.
Her remaining card is K, and Bai Yuxia is 7.
The landlord Chen Siyu played first and had a pair in his hand... Xue Yuantong was bound to lose in this round.
Bai Yuxia remained calm in the face of danger and gave Xue Yuantong a reassuring look.
Chen Siyu continued to stare at the two of them solemnly. She had lost 7 of the 8 games she played before, and the reason why she won one was because she was so lucky that she played out all her cards at once.
Xue Yuantong urged: "Let's do it quickly!"
Chen Siyu didn't wait for her sister's reaction and threw out a single card: "Little 6!"
Bai Yuxia: "What a coincidence, my little one is 7."
She played her last card and won the game.
Chen Siyu: "Ah?"
Chen Siqing accused: "Sister, you know they only have one card, why don't you play a pair?"
Chen Siyu blamed it: "Didn't you see that I was thinking for half a minute? Since you know this truth, why didn't you remind me earlier?"
Sister Chen Siqing hated him for not fighting, "I thought you were enjoying the joy before victory."
Chen Siyu: “…”
Chen Siqing is really disappointed. My sister is such a fool. What should I do in the future?
You will definitely be deceived!
In this case, as a sister, no matter what happens in the future, I should help her and support her.
…
After playing cards, Xue Yuantong opened the window and saw that the outside was filled with moisture.
There was a loud thunder, and the clouds and lightning suddenly lit up, illuminating a large area of the gloomy sky, just like the end of the world.
She was so frightened that she quickly closed the window.
"Sister, sister, it's so scary!" Chen Siyu trembled, it was so scary outside.
Xue Yuantong picked up her mobile phone and quietly turned off the Internet, because she heard that connecting to the Internet during thunderstorms is prone to being struck by lightning.
When she was a child, every time there was a thunderstorm, she would immediately unplug the TV at home.
Compared with the extreme weather outside, Chen Siyu felt that the room was particularly warm. She happily picked up the pistachios on the plate and enjoyed them beautifully.
Xue Yuantong specially prepared a lot of snacks for the guests at home, and even gave her the birthday gift she received, which was really a sumptuous gift.
Several people gathered around a platter of snacks and watched the bright lightning outside the window.
Jiang Ning originally wanted to take out the script and let them play with it, but they started chatting instead.
We chatted about our experiences during the summer vacation, beautiful clothes, jade pendants, and new classmates after school started. We chatted and chatted, as if there were endless things to say.
Although they communicate online, this kind of communication at home, face to face, and with timely feedback is indeed very comfortable.
Jiang Ning was brushing the tablet, occasionally joining in and adding a few words.
The topic changed again and again. Xue Yuantong talked about what she had seen at the train station, saying that some train stations had set up doll machines in order to make money. Fortunately, she had Jiang Ning around and grabbed the dolls hard.
As she spoke, she opened the closet and showed off half a closet filled with colorful bears, rabbits, puppies, kittens... dolls:
"Look, they are all my trophies and they didn't cost much!"
The twins and Bai Yuxia were very envious. The claw machine was a very magical machine. Although the dolls inside were not particularly pretty, if they asked if they wanted it, of course they would.
Chen Siqing was quick-thinking and thought to herself that next time she invited Jiang Ning out to get them dolls, it would be best to ask Jiang Ning to get them a pair of twin dolls.
In contrast, her younger sister Chen Siyu is more inclined to support herself. She said that she bought a dart board at home and played with the darts when she had nothing to do.
Later, when we went to the street, we played darts and hit balloons, and the boss who won burst into tears.
Xue Yuantong felt that darts were too difficult, and slingshots were more fun.
Chen Siyu said to herself that her accuracy was greatly improved now, and she could hit wherever she pointed.
Bai Yuxia said: "I heard that people with superb slingshot skills can open bottle caps."
Pretending, she drank the last sip of mineral water.
As if by magic, Jiang Ning took out a slingshot and brought a few yellow soft rubber bullets, which had almost no lethality.
Xue Yuantong took the slingshot and volunteered, "I'll do it!"
She had seen Jiang Ning playing with a slingshot and felt that her skills should be strong enough.
Xue Yuantong's room is quite large, with two beds and a small desk, and there is still a little extra space.
Bai Yuxia moved a small stool and placed it behind the door. Then she unscrewed the cap of the mineral water bottle and gently covered the mouth of the bottle.
Xue Yuantong: "Watch it!"
She pulled up the rubber band and fired a shot, hitting the bench.
Seeing Tongtong's failure, Chen Siyu geared up, "It's my turn!"
She felt that she was in particularly good condition today, "Please take a good look at what technology is."
Xue Yuantong handed over the slingshot in frustration.
Chen Siyu murmured in her heart that she was not as good at studying as Tong Tong, and her cooking was not as delicious as Tong Tong's, but when it came to shooting, that was what she was good at!
It's time for Yu Xia, Tong Tong, and Jiang Ning to look at each other with admiration.
Chen Siyu held the slingshot, closed her left eye, and aimed at the water bottle.
Chen Siqing chose to believe in her sister, "She can definitely do it."
Seeing that she still wanted to speak, Chen Siyu made a gesture, very expertly.
Suddenly, the whole place was quiet, except for the slight breathing of everyone.
The atmosphere reached a climax.
Chen Siyu loaded the soft rubber bullet, pulled the rubber band, and aimed at the bottle cap.
One pull, one release.
The rubber band hit Chen Siyu's hand with a "pop" sound.
She grinned in pain and threw the slingshot away. The wooden slingshot flew behind the door and knocked over the bottle.
Xue Yuantong laughed: "Giggle."
Bai Yuxia commented: "Very accurate."
…
During the night, the heavy rain continued to rage.
At three o'clock in the morning, there was a chaos outside.
Jiang Ning slept alone in his room. Next door, Xue Yuantong and Chen Siqing slept on the bed, while Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu made the floor.
This was my first time sleeping on the floor, and no one disliked it. On the contrary, I really liked the experience.
Jiang Ning's consciousness came around, and even though it was early in the morning, the neighbors were standing at the door of the bungalow.
Uncle Tang turned on the light at the door of his house, and the bright light shone out. The flat land outside was full of water, like an endless lake, and the big black trees in the distance seemed to grow in the water.
Fortunately, the bungalow is located on a high ground and water cannot enter. Otherwise, we would have to use a basin to pour water outside.
"Dear me, it's raining hard enough!" Uncle Tang sighed.
Teacher Qian put on his raincoat, brought a flashlight and a shovel, and hurriedly said:
"Stop thinking about it, go to the fields quickly and dig drainage channels, otherwise the crops will suffer!"
Teacher Qian is an honest teacher, and his wife is unemployed. He has several acres of land at home and still farms every year.
Uncle Tang: "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll call Brother Zhang. This grandson is very strong."
After a brief panic, three figures stepped into the vast waters and rushed to the fields overnight to fight against God for their lives.
…
My sister, Chen Siqing, drank too much water and was woken up at around four o'clock.
I vaguely touched the mobile phone on the bedside, squinted my eyes again, turned on the flashlight of the mobile phone, and prepared to get up to solve personal problems.
She was stunned when she saw the unfamiliar room, and suddenly remembered that she was not at home, but at Tongtong's house.
As for the younger sisters, Tongtong and Xiaxia, they are still sleeping!
Be sure not to wake them up.
After waking up for a while, Chen Siqing's head felt much clearer. She remembered that she and her sister lived in the dormitory last semester.
Sometimes during lunch breaks and it rains outside, they would invite Bai Yuxia to take a nap in their dormitory.
Every time she takes a nap, Bai Yuxia is always the first to wake up. She makes no sound when she gets out of bed and will never wake up her roommates in the same dormitory.
After she washed her face and it was almost time for class, she would gently wake up the two sisters.
She is of extremely high quality. Chen Siqing admires such an outstanding girl.
So, today, Chen Siqing decided to learn from Bai Yuxia.
She stood up gently and gently lifted the quilt.
Very good, I didn't disturb Xue Yuantong, who was in the same bed.
'make persistent efforts!'
My sister, Chen Siqing, cheered me up as if it were a solemn ceremony. Be careful, be careful, be more careful!
She moved her legs gently and moved outside the bed.
'good!'
Chen Siqing stood up and stepped off the bed with her left foot. Because she didn't estimate the distance well, she missed the step with her left foot.
She exclaimed and quickly stepped out with her right foot in order to maintain her unbalanced body.
As a result, because I was too panicked, I didn't find the right position and stepped on my sister's chest.
The innocent Chen Siyu suffered an unreasonable disaster in her sleep.
…
Six o'clock in the morning, cloudy.
In the humid courtyard, the air after the rain was particularly fresh. Chen Siyu covered her chest with a resentful look in her eyes.
Chen Siqing was embarrassed because she was stepped on by her sister and woke up Tongtong and Xia Xia last night.
"The meal is almost ready!" Xue Yuantong put down the shovel and ran out of the kitchen.
"Tongtong, you?" Bai Yuxia asked.
"I'm telling Jiang Ning to get up!" After saying this, Xue Yuantong's figure disappeared from the doorway of the house.
Bai Yuxia was thoughtful.
Chen Siyu complained: "Tongtong and Jiang Ning are not siblings. You can call me to eat before dinner. It's better for you, sister. Not only did you not call me, but you also took my food."
Chen Siqing wanted to retort, you obviously did this kind of thing first, but last night, she was too unreasonable and had no face to care.
Jiang Ning actually woke up early and deliberately waited for Tongtong to call.
He followed Tongtong out.
The ground outside was muddy. Needless to say, the ditches and ditches near the river dam must be full of water.
She looked forward to: "Let's eat quickly and go to the Internet cafe!"
…
After meal.
Xue Yuantong held a big plastic basin in his arms, Bai Yuxia picked up a bucket, and the twins were empty-handed, acting as minions who cheered.
Jiang Ning picked up a piece of wood for a tripod, with a fishing net attached to the back of the wood.
Several people went out lively.
When Zhang Ruyun next door saw it, he showed his envy and dissatisfaction, and the steamed bun in his mouth no longer tasted good.
He thought very philosophically that if a person gains something, he will lose something.
Jiang Ning got a beautiful girl, so it is normal for her to come back with nothing.
At the far east end, Old Man Bi and his family were sitting at the door eating.
Bi Yue was violently attacked by the girl from Xue Yuantong's family last night. She was humiliated and was shocked and angry.
She was assigned to a foreign country during university, had no worries about food and clothing, was lawless, had a strong sense of superiority, and cared about face the most.
"Xue Yuantong, that miserable mother, went out early in the morning. Gee, it's so hard!" Bi Yue didn't hide her voice at all.
"She's old, she's not still working as a waitress in a hotel, right? Lao Tang, do you know where she works? Another day I'll go to the restaurant to book a table and ask her to serve, hahaha."
Uncle Tang frowned when he heard her address. If anyone in the bungalow didn't call him "Uncle Tang" when meeting him, this girl would have too many things to do.
He was annoyed in his heart and said with a smile on his face: "Xiao Gu is doing great now. He works at Changqingye in the city!"
"Evergreen Liquid? What, you mean Evergreen Liquid?" Bi Yue said sharply, "Are you crazy? Do you know how difficult it is to get Evergreen Liquid now?"
"Based on her cultural level?" Bi Yue kept denying it.
Uncle Tang felt much better: "Xiao Gu is such a good cook, why can't he go to work?"
"A few years ago, Xiao Gu made steamed buns during the Chinese New Year, and every family would get one package. Who wouldn't praise her for her skill?" Uncle Tang yelled.
Teacher Qian praised: "It's delicious, much better than the big buns sold on the street."
Bi Yue finally remembered that the woman surnamed Gu did come to her house to deliver steamed buns during the Chinese New Year that year, but she thought they were dirty and threw them all away behind her back.
Therefore, she has never tasted the other party's craftsmanship.
Bi Yue's face turned ugly, "What about Chang Qingye going to work? For someone like her, even if she gets in, she will be a chef for the rest of her life."
Bi Yue has a foreign female friend who happens to work at the Changqing Yeshen City branch and is responsible for marketing.
That friend told her privately that there was a lot of money for the promotion of Changqing Liquid now, and there were a lot of things she could do with it, so he recommended her to go there. Bi Yue was preparing for an interview.
After she gets in, she will find a way to contact Gu, a low-level chef, haha.
…
South of the river dam, beside the fields.
In front of the crop field, a water channel more than one meter wide stretches from west to winter.
The water flowed "swish", and white water splashed wildly, carrying a special river smell, which was particularly violent.
Xue Yuantong stood on the edge holding the basin, too timid to step forward. With her weight, if she fell into the water, she would be swept away in an instant.
Chen Siyu looked at the water and couldn't imagine: "How to catch fish?"
Bai Yuxia was equally surprised that the children they grew up in the city had never been exposed to.
Many pedestrians gathered on the river dam. Most of them stood on the dam and watched the rising water on the north side of the river dam.
Only a few people noticed Jiang Ning and the others.
Jiang Ning was wearing shorts, holding a triangular fishing net in her arms, and said: "Lay the net into the water to intercept the water flow."
After saying that, he flicked his feet and jumped into the rushing water.
