Ruan Xingxing nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, our teacher said that from now on we will shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the motherland! We are members of socialism, be good children, help the elderly cross the road, etc...
...It's a pity that we don't have any roads here..."
Ruan Hai looked at the road in the village and smiled bitterly.
As the days passed, Ruan Xingxing, as she said, really seemed like a different person from this day on. She began to take the initiative to do housework, and even helped people in the village carry things. It was simply
He is just a little Lei Feng. Everyone in the village is praising Ruan Xingxing for being well-behaved and sensible. Ruan Hai can hear similar words wherever he goes. He is even prouder than Ruan Xingxing. He just needs to put up a sign and shout: Ruan Xingxing is
My daughter!
As soon as the scene turned, there was a thunder in the sky, as if it was exploding in the ears, then strong winds rose, dark clouds rolled in, and heavy rain fell from the sky. Although the rain had not yet come, you could still see the smoke coming from it.
The scene of rain coming quickly!
"Dad, I have never seen such heavy rain." Ruan Xingxing stood at the door and looked into the distance.
"There are a lot of things you haven't seen before. Please help pack things quickly, otherwise when the rain comes later, all these dishes will be ruined." Ruan Hai shouted.
Ruan Xingxing quickly ran over to help clean up the peppers, eggplants and other things that were being dried, while Ruan Hai's wife was packing up clothes.
The three people were busy, and finally the moment they entered the house, the sound of rain pouring outside could be heard, and the rain came...
The pouring rain was so dense that it could stir up smoke and dust at first, but the next moment a layer of rainwater covered the ground. Ruan Hai looked outside with some worry and said: "This rain is too heavy..."
Ruan Hai's wife said nonchalantly: "What's so strange about this? Isn't it like this in the Northeast of China? It doesn't matter if the rain is heavier, it will stop raining lightly, so it won't delay things."
Ruan Hai and Ruan Xingxing nodded. Although they had never seen such heavy rain, they had seen too many thunderstorms in the Northeast. The thunder was loud, the wind was strong, and the rain was violent, but it passed after a while.
Ruan Hai couldn't help but sigh: "The soil and water support the people. The character of the Northeastern people is similar to the weather. They are like a gust of wind in everything they do. They are impatient, shake their fists when they disagree, and then the two of them go to the hospital together."
, rushing to pay each other’s medical bills..."
Hearing this sigh, Ruan Xingxing and Ruan Hai's wife laughed at the same time. It is undeniable that Northeastern people are indeed like this. They fight when they disagree, and eventually they end up in the underworld...
However, Ruan Hai's words did not come true. An hour later, the heavy rain was still falling and the strong wind was still blowing. The blown window frames made a whistling sound like the howling of ghosts and wolves, which was a bit scary.
"Dad, why doesn't it stop raining? It's raining so hard that I can't go to school." Ruan Xingxing went home for lunch, but he didn't know how to go to school after eating this meal.
"Dad will take you there later. Wear a raincoat. It's okay." Ruan Hai said this, but his eyes became a little gloomy.
At this moment, the loudspeaker in the village sounded: "Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, this heavy rain..."
However, the sound only rang twice before it cut off.
Although there are mobile phones in this era, they are too expensive. Who can afford it for ordinary rural people? Even landlines are only available in villages. With information being extremely limited, Ruan Hai knows nothing about the outside world, but with his experience
And instinctively, he knew that this heavy rain might cause trouble.
Ruan Hai's wife said depressingly: "I have long said that the broken speaker should be repaired. It makes noise all day long when I have nothing to do. But when I use it, it shuts up again."
Ruan Hai said: "Okay, stop talking, you stay at home, I will go to the village committee to check on the situation."
After saying that, Ruan Hai put on his raincoat and ran out.
However, just as he went out, Ruan Hai was almost knocked over. His eyes were full of horror. It was the first time he had seen such heavy rain, and it was also the first time he had encountered such strong wind! Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky,
His heart sank. Ruan Hai quickly ran to the village committee. As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned. There was a police car parked in the yard of the village committee!
When I pushed the door open, I saw a policeman and a soldier sitting inside. The village party secretary and the village chief were all sitting there with serious faces, not knowing what they were talking about.
"Ruan Hai, why are you here?" asked the village party secretary.
"It's raining too much. The speaker just broke. I don't know what you said. Come and ask." Ruan Hai said.
"It's nothing, it's just that the rain is a bit heavy, and the weather forecast says it will rain for a while. It's hard to say how long it will take. This is a comrade from the county who came to inform about this matter." The village party secretary looked towards him.
That soldier.
The soldier man stood up and said: "Hello, Comrade Ruan Hai, my name is Li Cheng. I came from the army. This time the rain clouds came from the mountain side. It rained very heavily along the way and moved slowly. The Meteorological Bureau's
The comrade said that the rain is likely to continue for a while, and the government is afraid of causing any trouble, so it has sent people to each village to monitor the situation along the river at any time. If you need help, you can always come to me."
This was the first time Ruan Hai saw a soldier and was saluted. He was a little confused. He didn't know whether he should salute or shake hands...
Seeing this, the village party secretary smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't think about those useless things. By the way, the school is closed, so tell Xiaoxing not to go to school. If anything happens, come to us here. If
If you’re not there, you’ll just go to the river embankment.”
Ruan Hai nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go back."
On the way back, Ruan Hai made a special trip to the river. The water on the river had indeed swelled a lot, but the embankment was still more than one meter high, so Ruan Hai didn't pay much attention.
After returning home, I told my family about the situation. I heard that people from the army had come down to help. The family suddenly had a backbone and they were not so panicked. But Ruan Hai felt that this matter was not that simple...
At night, Ruan Xingxing lay by the window, looking at the heavy rain outside, and said, "Dad, it's been raining all day."
"Well, it's okay. Go to sleep. It will stop tomorrow." Ruan Hai rubbed Ruan Xingxing's head and said.
"Oh..." Ruan Xingxing got into bed and went to sleep.
The night passed in this violent storm...
The next day, the sky still showed no sign of clearing up. Instead, it became even gloomier. The wind was much lighter, but the rain was still heavy, and it hit the windows with a loud banging sound.
Ruan Hai got up early and went out for a walk. As soon as he went out, he found that something was wrong. There was water everywhere in the village! In the past, when it rained heavily, the water flowed into the drainage ditch and then into the Dongjiang River. But now,
The water seems to have stopped flowing!
Ruan Hai stepped into the water and quickly ran to the river. He was horrified to find that the water was almost level with the river bank!
