The team leader nodded: "We're back. We asked our relatives to take us here in a small boat. When we came here, the water level in the river was much higher. If it rains tonight, the water will probably rise even more."

Several people said a few more polite words, Lin Changyou took the team leader to sit down and had dinner together, and when he left, he gave him the two black stick fish.

After seeing off the captain, Lin Changyou looked up at the sky, frowned and said, "The mountain ridge in the northeast corner is covered by dark clouds, it looks like it will rain heavily tonight."

Experienced farmers on this side of the river know that once the mountain ridge in the northeast corner is covered by dark clouds and persists, it will rain heavily in nine out of ten cases.

Wu Shufen looked at it after listening, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, the embankment is so high, even if it rains heavily, the water will not overflow the embankment."

Lao Li said: "There has been no flood for many years."

Lin Changyou thought for a moment: "Three or forty years?"

Lao Li nodded: "Almost."

Wu Shufen cleaned up, boiled hot water, and everyone washed up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

In the middle of the night, a thunder blasted on the roof, Lin Lan woke up startled, and saw a flash of lightning flashing by, illuminating the window brightly.

"Xiaolan, are you awake?"

"The thunder woke me up."

"It's going to rain heavily." Wu Shufen said as she pulled the light cord with her magical hand, but the light didn't turn on. "The power is out."

The power supply in the mountains is unstable, and the electricity is cut off seven or eight days a month.

Lin Lan yawned and said, "There's lightning and thunder, the brakes may have been pulled."

While talking, I heard the sound of "tick, tick" raindrops hitting the roof tiles, which became more and more dense, but after a while, the heavy rain began to rain.

Wu Shufen said to Lin Lan: "Go to sleep, we just picked up the roof before we left, so it won't leak."

"En!" Lin Lan covered the quilt, thinking of Xiaodouzi and Li Xiangyang sleeping in the same bed, she didn't worry about him being afraid, and fell asleep listening to the sound of rain.

Woke up the next morning feeling much better.I thought to myself, it is better to be young, with better resistance and faster recovery.

She put on her clothes and went out. The heavy rain had stopped, and the drizzle was rustling, falling on the layers of roofs, and falling along the dark eaves.

Li Xiangyang came out of the room, saw her standing at the door of the main room, and said with a smile: "Is it better?"

Lin Lan nodded: "Okay, it's much more comfortable."

Xiaodouzi came out, saw her well, and happily ran over to hold her: "Mom, how about we go fishing by the river today?"

Before Lin Lan could speak, Li Xiangyang said, "Mom just has a cold, and it's too windy to go by the river."

Lin Changyou came out of the kitchen and said, "That's right, it's still raining, there must be a lot of water, I can't take you guys fishing by the river."

"Oh!" Xiaodouzi looked at Lin Lan, "Can I go fish in the ditch with Brother Xiaojun?"

Lin Lan nodded: "Go after the rain stops."

After everyone had eaten and played for a while, the rain was still falling, with no sign of stopping.

Lin Changyou took the coir raincoat and came out, and said to Li Xiangyang and Lao Li, "Dear-in-law, Xiangyang, let's go to the river to see if there is a flood?"

Lao Li smiled and said, "Take the fishing net and cast a net to see."

Chief Lin nodded, turned around and went back to the house to take the fishing net and a urea bag, and the three of them were ready to go out.

Lin Jun pulled Lin Changyou: "Grandpa, we are going too."

Lin Changyou glared at him: "At home, when the rain stops, you are allowed to take your younger siblings to fish in the ditch. Let me tell you, don't go to the river secretly, and I will break your legs if I catch you."

Lin Jun pouted and looked at him: "It's not that I want to go alone."

Lin Changyou tapped his forehead with his fingers: "No matter who wants to go, you are the biggest. If you don't take good care of your siblings, I will find you."

Under the high pressure from Chief Lin, Lin Jun and the others nodded in confusion and unwillingness: "Understood."

"You guys are at home. Let's catch shrimp and fry them." Li Xiangyang waved to Lin Lan and Xiaodouzi, and went out with the old man and his father-in-law.

Seeing the three of them leaving, Lin Jun and the others looked at the continuous light rain, feeling restless like a cat's paw.

Wu Shufen remembered that the river prawns that came back from the Internet yesterday hadn't been eaten yet, so she said to a few people: "Go and do your homework, and your sister-in-law and I will fry the prawns for you to eat."

Xiaodouzi nodded: "Mom, I want salt and pepper flavor!"

Lin Lan smiled and pinched his nose: "You are the only one who knows how to eat."

Lin Jun also said that they want salt and pepper flavor.

Lin Lan and Wu Shufen dumped the river prawns in the bucket into the Shau Kei, picked out the dirty things inside, rinsed them with water, drained them, and poured them into the clay bowl.

Cut some ginger slices, pour some white wine, sprinkle some salt, mix well, marinate for ten minutes, pick out ginger slices, sprinkle a little flour and mix well, try to make the surface of each shrimp stick to dry flour.

Wu Shufen lit the firewood, and Lin Lan picked up the oil pot and poured a lot of oil into the pot.

Wu Shufen sighed: "Fried food is delicious, but it consumes too much oil."

"that is!"

Lin Lan waited until the oil was hot, poured the prawns into the pan, and slide the prawns with chopsticks to make the prawns heated evenly, fry them on a medium-low heat until crispy, remove the oil and pour them into a clay bowl, sprinkle two tablespoons of salt and pepper, mix well, and taste it. Crispy and delicious.

After Lin Lan pinched two for Wu Shufen to taste, she said, "Mom, Xiaojun and the others have been writing for more than half an hour, take it to them to eat!"

Wu Shufen nodded: "Go, I'll scoop out the oil in the pot and filter it out."

Lin Lan carried salt and pepper shrimp to the main room: "The shrimp are fried, eat and play for a while, then continue to do homework."

Lin Jun put down his pen, pinched one, put it in his mouth, chewed it twice, and praised: "It smells so good."

Lin Lan patted him, put the pottery bowl in the center of the Eight Immortals table, and looked at the people: "Go and wash your hands before eating, and you are not allowed to take it with your hands if you don't wash it."

"Sister Xiaohong, you have to hold the little shrimps with your hands to enjoy eating." Xiaodouzi slid off the bench while talking, and ran towards the pot stand in the corner of the verandah.

The children chattered and washed their hands, and ate up the salt and pepper fried shrimp in the clay bowl in a short while lying on the table.

Lin Jun licked his fingers: "Salt and pepper taste is delicious. When grandpa comes back from casting a net, sister-in-law will fry shrimp for us to eat."

Lin Lan picked up the pottery bowl and cast a sideways glance at him: "If you want to eat delicious food, you must study hard, otherwise I will let you be the commander of the sheep."

Lin Jun pouted and pointed at Lin Lan: "Sister-in-law, you have changed, you have become the same as your grandparents."

Lin Lan nodded at him: "No matter how poor you are!"

Lin Jun looked at her and laughed.

At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Sister-in-law Wu, Xiaolan, are you there?"

"Here!" Lin Lan ran to the gate of the courtyard, opened the door, and saw Wan Jiao and her mother Chen Zhaodi standing at the door, "Auntie, Jiao Jiao, come in quickly."

Wan Jiao looked at Lin Lan embarrassedly and said, "Miss Xiaolan, I should have come to thank you yesterday, but I was too tired and fell asleep when I got home."
