The sky in May is already like a woman’s face, and it changes as soon as it changes. Last night, the sky was full of stars and deep and far away. This morning, it is already covered with dark clouds, and the gray sky has replaced the clear blue sky.In the early morning, it gives people a feeling that it is already evening, which only adds to the depression.

Zhang Taiping got up early and moved his body to look at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, and shouted into the room: "Dumb, the weather outside is changing, and there will be a heavy rain, do you think there is anything that needs to be packed in advance?" There was a sound from inside and he started to get up.

"Chichi." A voice came from the eaves behind.Zhang Taiping turned his head and saw that four bird's nests had been built under the eaves, the sound came from one of them, he stood in front of it and looked inside.They turned out to be two baby swallows, not long after they were born, the feathers on their bodies were not fully stretched, and they looked a bit ugly, not much better than a chicken with its feathers removed.Maybe he was hungry, and he was screaming with his mouth open.

It didn't take long for two big swallows to fly back, with food in their mouths, landed on the edge of the nest and turned their heads to watch Zhang Taiping warily.Zhang Taiping took two steps back with a smile before they turned around and fed the food in their mouths to the two baby swallows.

Zhang Taiping was walking by the pond, and the waterfowl by the pond could feel the change of the weather, and began to look for places to hide.Even the two red-crowned cranes of the black swan fish came out of the yard and walked around and felt that the humid and dreary air was a sign before the heavy rain, so they went back to the backyard without staying by the pool.Only stupid chickens and stupid ducks still come out fearlessly.

When he walked to the junction between the pond and the hillside full of peach trees, something rushed towards him. Zhang Taiping quickly caught it. It turned out to be Xiao Zi who had disappeared for two days, followed by Yaya's little squirrel.The little squirrel jumped down from the tree, and its big fluffy tail swayed in the air like a propeller, making it hit the ground without any impact.

The little squirrel was spoiled by Xiao Zi, and even studied with it for two days and nights.The two little ones got carried away playing outside, if they hadn't sensed that the heavy rain was coming, they probably wouldn't be able to remember to go home.

Deng Xianming also got up early and went to the pond to talk about it: "It's comfortable in the mountains. Not to mention that I slept soundly last night. I got up at six o'clock in the morning and came out to breathe fresh air. If I drink it in the city at night Liquor, you have to sleep until eleven or twelve o'clock the next morning."

Zhang Taiping knew that the reason why he slept soundly was not because he slept in a mountain village, but because he drank some wine last night. It can soothe the nerves and refresh the mind, and wake up with more energy.He smiled and said, "The air in the morning is really good. It's a good time to exercise. It's just that it may rain heavily today. Your plan to go around the nearby hills will probably be ruined."

Deng Xianming looked at the swallows passing by the water, and then looked up at the sky: "It seems that a heavy rain is indeed inevitable. But there is no regret. It is also good to see the scenery in the mountains after the rain."

When Zhang Taiping led the two little guys back to the door, he happened to meet Cai Yazhi who was about to go out with a rope and a sickle.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Taiping asked as he put the boy on the ground.

"Mow some grass before the rain. It may rain for several days in a row, so we need to prepare some grass."

Think about it, if it rains for several days in a row, it will be inconvenient to go out to herd sheep during the period, and you have to prepare some grass in advance.So he said: "Wait a minute." He also went into the house to find the sickle, and the two went together.

The grass near the yard has been cut by Cai Yazhi to feed the fish, so I walked a little further into the mountain.Both of them were not slow in their hands, and they cut two large bundles in a short time.

He raised his head and looked at the sky and said, "Okay, that's all. It's enough for the sheep to eat for a few days. Even if it's not enough, I can find a way." As he spoke, he picked up two bundles of grass by himself, and Cai Yazhi was just responsible for holding them by the side. Two sickles.

When I got to the edge of the pond, it came down at [-] o'clock, and the coming was very urgent!The bean-sized raindrops crackled on the lotus leaves, and a wonderful song was played in an instant.The raindrops fell on the water surface and splashed a circle of ripples. Instead of evading, the fish jumped out of the water, accepting the baptism of the raindrops.

When the two of them quickened their pace and ran under the eaves, their clothes were already slightly wet. Looking back, the bean-sized raindrops turned into broken beads and slanted down in a straight line, and air and water mist rose from the ground. Gradually increase the rain and fog to fill everything, so that everything is in a kind of haze, can't see clearly, as if suddenly came to the world of a dream.

Cai Yazhi raised the wet hair on her forehead and said happily, "It's fortunate that I came back one step earlier, otherwise I would have become a drowned rat." Her face was a little flushed due to running, coupled with a grateful smile, scattered The hair is also unique, Zhang Taiping couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

Cai Yazhi couldn't bear Zhang Taiping's fiery eyes, and said happily, "Are the ducks in the pond okay?" When the two ran over from the pond, they saw the ducks and big white geese on the water, not only did they not have the idea of ​​avoiding the rain , but had fun on the water, so Cai Yazhi was a little worried.

Zhang Taiping withdrew his gaze, he just liked his wife, no matter how much time passed, she was always as shy as a girl.Looking at a bunch of stupid chickens huddled together under the eaves, he replied: "The ducks are in the water, and the pool water and rainwater are all water, so don't worry about them, just like you don't have to worry about the fish in the water when it rains." .”

Cai Yazhi went into the house to change clothes to make breakfast, while Zhang Taiping continued to stay under the eaves watching the scene in the heavy rain.

This is the first thunderstorm of the year.The raindrops are connected in a line, falling on the ground or splashing into water mist or quickly converging into a stream of water and gathering towards low-lying places.The dark clouds in the sky were tumbling, and from time to time there was a rumbling sound like rolling thunder between the collisions, and the crackling lightning could make the dark sky brighten up for a moment.

Animals always have an inexplicable awe of Tianwei. The ducks and big white geese that were playing in the pool just now ran towards the shack in the backyard under the dense thunder.Little animals like Xiaoxi and Xiaozi no longer came out to stand on Zhang Taiping's shoulders.Only two parrots stood on the wooden pole hanging by the door and shouted: "It's thundering. It's thundering." "It's raining. It's raining."

"The mountain is empty and rainy is also strange" somehow reminds me of this poem by Su Shi. The mountain not far away is shrouded in rain and fog, and the rain is falling like a curtain. Doesn't this poem fit the scene?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zhang Taiping was a little worried, so he put on his raincoat and stepped into the rainwater to check around the garden.Especially when I walked around the edge of the pond, I thought that such a day was foreseen when the drain was built, so although the rain was heavy, it did not overflow the edge of the pond, and the fish in the pond did not flow with the rainwater. into the river outside.It's a pity that I can't pick strawberries today, and the strawberry wine might go bad in the field after a continuous rain.

Go back to the eaves and take off the raincoat. Such a big raincoat is not very effective, and the head and legs are still soaked.Zhang Taiping didn't enter the house, but stood under the eaves and looked at the rainwater that was pouring down, and he didn't know why he just liked the pleasure of pouring down.

While staring at the misty rain, he gently wiped his forehead with a towel.Without looking back, he asked, "Is the meal ready?"

"Not yet, sister Cai is busy."

Zhang Taiping was taken aback, he avoided the towel to wipe his body, turned his head, he thought it was Cai Yazhi who came to wipe the rainwater for him.I didn't expect it to be like water, and I didn't know who it was when I was stunned just now.

Xing Rushui looked at Zhang Taiping's dodging action and smiled, and continued to wipe, this time he did not dodge again.Then the two stood side by side under the eaves silently looking at Yukong, neither of them spoke.

It is common sense that rainstorms generally do not last long.By the time we ate, the rain had stopped.After the meal, Zhang Taiping walked alone on the mountainside after the rain. Although the torrential rain stopped, the dark clouds in the sky did not dissipate.

After being washed by the rain, the whole world seems to be a little bit cleaner, and the air exudes the smell of green grass and soil, which makes you feel refreshed and happy.There are still clouds and mists that do not want to disperse in the mountains, adding a little mysterious atmosphere to the mountains, which looks deep and spiritual.

Zhang Taiping walked alone on the path among the mountains, feeling the tranquility of nature with his heart.Old man Qian walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

"Where is Uncle Qian going?" Zhang Taiping greeted first. In fact, in terms of seniority, old man Qian is at most an uncle's generation, but he prefers to be called "Uncle Qian".

Old Man Qian laughed: "It just rained and I couldn't stay inside the house, so I went out for a walk. It's still cool outside. What are you doing, Commander?"

"Just walk around." In fact, greetings are just two unnutritious words, just like when you meet in the village, you usually say "Have you eaten?" What to eat or what to eat, but it has become a greeting similar to "Hello" in the rural areas of the Guanzhong area.

"It's the right time for this rain." Old Man Qian commented.

Zhang Taiping nodded: "It's really good rain." Leaving aside the strawberries in his house, this rain is indeed a timely rain for the crops.Wheat is heading or forming grains. With this heavy rain, this year's little sister will definitely have a bumper harvest.

Not long after, there were quite a few villagers who came to the field wearing boots. After a heavy rain, they couldn't stay in the house anymore. They ran out to check the situation in the field, and gathered in a group to chat and talk nonsense. , feel the joy of this year's harvest in advance.
