After being widowed, I pampered the rough man general by farming

It's windy.

It was noon, and the sky had already turned black with the gust of wind like nightfall.

The hem of Zhu Jiangjiang's clothes was blown loudly, his trouser legs were close to his body, he pressed the straw hat on his head with one hand, and blocked the dusty and gritty wind with the other.

When I opened my eyes again, all the rice that could not be harvested in the future had been blown down, and the earth seemed to be covered with a golden quilt.

The bean-heavy rain fell in an instant, and it was painful and cold when it hit the body.

"Zhou Liang, go back!"

Zhu Jiangjiang yelled at Zhou Liang, and ran towards Pei's house together to protect the children closest to her.

There are still four or five acres of crops left, even if they are given another half a day, they can all be harvested.

It's a pity that God doesn't show affection.

The rain fell too fast and too fast, and the villagers who were digging wild vegetables and chopping firewood rushed home one after another, and their bodies were completely soaked in just a few steps.

"After this rain, the crops can be harvested."

The neighbor opposite Pei's house at the entrance of the village stood under the eaves, watching the heavy rain, and nodded with satisfaction.

When the rain is over and the rice is harvested, the ground will be nourished by the rain, and it will be much easier to plant the next crop of rice.

Zhu Jiangjiang was not in such a good mood as them.

She brought back the rice that hadn't had time to thresh and spread it out to dry in the house, and before she could change her clothes, she rushed into the rain again and went to the kitchen.

Although the new house is built higher than the old one, she still prepared wooden boards to block the water in advance just in case.

The wooden boards were buckled in front of the threshold of the gate on the first floor, and two bags of mud were installed to fix it, and the door had to be straddled to enter and exit.

In the room, Zhou Liang and the others were already dealing with their wet clothes, and continued to wear them after they were wrung out.

Then come out, stand under the eaves of the terrace, and let the wind dry.

"It doesn't look like summer rain, I don't know how long it will last..."

There are occasional showers in summer, and everyone thought that this rain was also a shower, and it stopped after a while.

Unexpectedly, after the rain fell at noon, there was no sign of stopping until the next day.

The pond in front of Pei's house was already full of water, and together with the fields in the distance, it became a cloudy muddy yellow.

In the yard higher than the pond, the water flowed like a flowing stream, gurgling continuously towards the pond, and it soon accumulated water.

"Why doesn't it stop raining?" The villagers stood in front of their houses, looking at the fields, and muttered to themselves.

The crops have been flooded. If the rain doesn't fade away soon, the rice will not germinate after soaking for a long time.

"Don't look, let's eat."

Zhu Jiangjiang, who responded in advance, has a much more stable mind. Although there are still a few acres of land confiscated, it has little impact on her.

The more than 40 acres of grain collected from the land weighed three to four thousand catties, and she became cumbersome when placed in the space.

"Little lady, you are right to worry. Fortunately, you harvested the crops in advance, otherwise you don't know how much you will lose." Zhou Liang admired Zhu Jiangjiang's foresight.

I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, and even if it stops, the crops won't be harvested until the water fades away.

At that time, there must be losses, it's just a matter of how much.

loss?

Zhu Jiangjiang felt that this statement was too euphemistic. Now it is only raining and flooding. When the river embankment upstream is washed away, the entire Jiangnan Town will not only be lost.

Ugh!

Perhaps from the beginning, she should have gone to the state capital upstream to remind her.

However, no one should believe what she said, right?Maybe, before the fire broke out, she would be regarded as a person who confuses the public, and beheaded in the street.

Zhu Jiangjiang stood in front of the window of the room on the second floor, staring closely at the direction of the river bank, motionless.

It has been raining heavily for two days in a row, without stopping for a moment.

The fields, rivers, and villages in the distance all seemed to be floating on the water, with no road or people in sight.

"His mother, you can't go, you can't go..."

"Let me go, I'm going to harvest my crops!"

In the rain where I said I couldn't see anyone, suddenly a few people broke in.

It's Xu Laosan and his wife!

Xu San's daughter-in-law, wearing a straw hat and holding a sickle, walked out of the village in the knee-high water. Behind her was Xu San who was always pulling her.

The appearance of the couple seemed to encourage the villagers.

More and more villagers appeared in the rain, shouting and rushing to the fields in the rain.

The location of the paddy field is low. When walking on the ridge, the accumulated water is only up to the knees, and the water directly reaches the heels of the legs when I go down the ground.

The crops are soaked in water and cannot be seen, only by touching them.

The harvested ears of rice were thrown into the basket behind him, and together with the rainwater, he was so heavy that he couldn't straighten his back.

Zhu Jiangjiang looked at everything that happened in front of her with a calm expression. She couldn't persuade them, and she didn't want to persuade them.

Only by doing this can they make themselves feel at ease, so why should she bother herself?

"Sister-in-law, there is water in the house."

Pei Xiaoyu ran upstairs, looking flustered.

Zhou Liang and the others always stayed on the first floor and never dared to go upstairs, so Pei Xiaoyu always came to her if there was anything.

After hearing this, Zhu Jiangjiang turned around and went downstairs.

When I went downstairs, I saw Zhou Liang and the others pouring water out with buckets and ladles. The mud bag at the door was washed away by the stagnant water. As soon as the board was loosened, the water came in.

The room is full of wooden floors, so I can't help soaking, Zhu Jiangjiang turned around and went to hug two quilts, one bed blocked the water inlet, and the other bed was placed at the door to absorb water.

After finishing all this, before they wiped the floor of the house, there was a dull and turbulent sound from the distant mountains.

Is it a dike break?

Zhu Jiangjiang rolled up her trouser legs and ran out to watch. In the blink of an eye, she felt the water level on her calf rise a lot.

"It's time to come..."

"Go, go back, or it will be too late!"

"Everyone is coming back soon, the water is rising..."

All kinds of shouts and screams came and went at the entrance of the village, and people in the fields started to walk back.

It's just that the water from the upper reaches came in fiercely. When the flood flowed to the lower river, the impact was strong. The villagers who rushed back stumbled and were knocked down by the water several times. They were soaked and embarrassed.

It is said that the flood is like a beast, and it is not only Xiaohuang Village that is affected by the disaster, the entire village of Jiangnan Town will be washed away more or less.

County Yali.

When Zhu Lin learned that the embankment broke upstream and caused the entire Jiangnan Town to be affected, he fell directly into the chair, his face ashen.

He has served as the county magistrate of Jiangnan Town for many years, and this is the first time he has encountered such a big thing.

After hurriedly writing a memorial, Zhu Lin was at a loss, pacing back and forth in front of the court, not knowing what to do next.

It was Zhu Qingran who reminded in time that Zhu Lin sent people to check the situation of the people affected by the disaster.

It's just that the rain was too heavy, and the river in the city was flooded. The people sent out couldn't get out of the city at all, and they couldn't know the situation of the people outside the city.
