No one expected that this gang fight would be interrupted by the sudden heavy rain.

Dark clouds hung low, and the air was very hot, followed by lightning, thunder, and strong winds.

In an instant, pouring rain fell with the trend.

"It's raining!"

I don't know who yelled, and everyone immediately went home regardless of who slapped or kicked whom.

Even Mei Berry and the others had to go back to their home.

"Hurry up and drink the ginger soup! Hurry up!"

Mei Berry and Wei Meiliang also got a little rain, but Mei Youqian, who didn't join in the fun just now, was drenched in the rain because he and Mei Sanma cut a few hangers for drying in the depths of the bamboo forest and didn't have time to come out.

Wei Meili boiled a pot of thick ginger tea and asked each of them to share a bowl.

"Good guy, it's raining so fast!"

After drinking the hot ginger tea in one gulp, Mei Youqian couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion as he looked at the rainwater outside the door that looked like a broken jade bead.

"It's been almost two months, but it's raining."

Mei Berry sat at the door, and the playful rainwater splashed over the threshold and splashed on Mei Berry's calf.

She lowered her head, looked at the raindrops bouncing on the ground, and couldn't help stretching out her hand, letting the cold rainwater fall on her palm.

Hearing her father's emotion, Mei Berry looked up at the overturned dark clouds in the sky, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know how long it will take?"

"It looks like it's still worth it!"

Mei Youqian put down the empty bowl and stood up and looked into his yard. The rain was heavy and urgent.

Because the yard of Mei Berry's house was paved with bluestone slabs, the rainwater suddenly gathered into a small waterfall and rushed out.

Seeing this scene, Wei Meimei couldn't help but frowned and said: "After a long drought, there is a torrential rain. The underground rain has not yet been fully absorbed, and the rain on this road has gathered into a torrent to harm people."

Wei Meili's words were true, the heavy rain continued for a whole day and night.

I haven't seen anything wrong with Meiberry, a small stream outside the village, but the thatched roof of Meiberry's house is almost unbearable, and some places have started to leak.

The ground in the house also became muddy due to the heavy moisture outside.

Fat Tiger has almost been on the kang for the past few days, occasionally getting out of bed to deal with Mao Mao's own "big things in life", and when he goes on the kang, he will be chased by Mei Berry and asked him to deal with his jio wrapped in muddy water jio.

But just when Meiberry's family was worried because the roof was about to collapse, the sky finally cleared up.

After the sun cleared, Mei Youqian immediately took care of the roof of his house. After the yard was exposed to the sun for a day, and the sun was scorching again the next day, Mei Berry moved the things in the house out to dry.

When everyone thought everything was going well, an official came and dealt a heavy blow to everyone——

Because many people participated in the dredging of the river this time, the heavy rain in the past few days was so violent that not only the river was not dredged, but also because of the sudden flood, many people who participated in the corvee were directly drowned by the flood. washed away.

God knows how many people in Jinshui Village who were present just rolled their eyes and passed out when they heard the news.

The only good news is that the service time has also been shortened this time, and the surviving civilian husbands will return in a few days.

Those who did not return were either missing or dying.

When she heard the news for the first time, Mei Berry shook her hand as she fed the mule cubs, and turned her head in a panic to see her father standing at the gate of the yard, and then heaved a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but rejoice [-] times that their family finally made the decision to let her father pay for the corvee.

"I heard from my mother that Grandma Wang was about to go blind from crying, because Aunt Cuihua was pregnant, and Uncle Huo was supposed to go to serve this year, but Uncle Mu took the initiative to ask him to go.

Uncle Mumu hasn't married yet. My mother said that Grandma Wang and Uncle Dahuo regret it now. "

In the morning of this day, Mei Berry and Mei You went to the stream by the entrance of the village to wash vegetables with their baskets, and they talked about it.

This heavy rain made the creek, which was about to run dry, full of water again.

"Well, Mrs. Gerhardt's youngest daughter-in-law has also come to our house these few days.

She said that whenever she cried at home, Mrs. Gerhardt scolded her and despised her for being unlucky.But she couldn't help it anymore, she felt uncomfortable when she thought of her husband whose life or death was unknown, so she went outside to cry for a while. "

When Mei You heard the news, she said that it was impossible without any fluctuations.

But she was even more fortunate that the people she cared about didn't have any accidents, that's enough.

"Well, Mrs. Gerhardt hasn't learned her lesson enough last time?"

"It doesn't matter if you eat it, after all, no one cares about her if she is a tyrant at home."

After the two washed the dishes, they turned around and walked from the stream to the road to go home.

At this time, Mei Berry was sensitive, turned her head to look at the road, and exclaimed excitedly:
"came back!"

"Ok?"

"Those who participated in the corvée, they are back!"

Mei You followed Mei Berry's gaze and looked over.

A group of people in ragged clothes, who looked similar to the beggars outside, were staggering towards them.

Seeing a group of black and white people coming towards them, Mei Berry immediately lifted the hem of her clothes and ran back. Mei You didn't know why, but subconsciously followed Mei Berry.

While Meiyou was running, she listened to Meiberry yelling towards the village that those people had returned.

There was almost no need for Mei to shout a second time, and there were sounds of surprise and suspicion in the village. After they subconsciously pushed open their doors and looked outside, more and more people walked out of the house.

"B-Back?!"

"came back!!"

"Ah—my son!"

"Master!"

"father!!"

People in the village walked out of their homes and ran towards the entrance of the village. Seeing that Mei Berry had hidden merit and fame, Mei You and Mei You soon returned home.

After that, Mei Berry was in the yard again, glancing at the figures running out of the village from the village from time to time.

Some walk swiftly, others falter;
Some looked serious, some wept with joy;

The sound of crying and laughing outside the yard spread into her ears one after another. Mei Berry walked back to the kitchen silently, and when she looked up, she saw that her mother was handling a big carp.

It was caught by her father by accident by the river in the morning, but Mei Youqian, who hadn't eaten any meat, was very happy.

Right now, Mei Berry didn't mind Wei Meili's handling of carp's fishy smell, and she just plunged into her mother's arms like an unweaned child, which surprised Wei Meili.

"what happened?"

After realizing it, Wei Meimei put down the kitchen knife, only then did he hear something outside, and said, "What's wrong outside? Someone bullied you?"

"No, those who participated in the corvee are back... Many people in the village have come out to welcome them."

"Oh~ that's a good thing."

"But... there should be some people who can't come back..."

Probably found out why her daughter was depressed, Wei Meili sighed in her heart but didn't say anything.

Her daughter has never experienced so many life and death since she was a child.

Wei Meili pulled the rag to wipe her hands, then gently reached out and patted Mei Berry's back, but asked after a while, "Sauerkraut fish or braised fish for lunch?"

Plum Berry: "...?"

A kind of unexplainable soreness was spreading in Mei Berry's chest, but in the blink of an eye, Mei Berry was stuck by her mother's question of what fish to eat for lunch.

"Braised fish..."

Forget it, let's cook the rice first.

Mei Berry, a soft hearted but not much silly girl hahahaha
