Chapter 123 Heavy Rain

Tan Xiaowei had just sold the first batch of cantaloupe, and as soon as they took it back, the cantaloupes in the field were all white, and each one was very juicy.

She inspected all the fields of the cooperative members and calculated the output. This year must be a good harvest year, as long as they can survive the rainy season.

Just entered June, the rain has not stopped.

On June [-]th, it rained heavily overnight. Tan Xiaowei got up several times listening to the sound of the rain. Shi Ruochen didn't sleep, and told her about the situation in her village:

【Weiwei, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, I can even hear the sound of running water from the small river in our village, rushing down from the mountain】

【Your mountains are made of earthen ridges, you should be more alert at night, I am afraid that the rain will continue to fall like this and cause landslides】

【Well, my dad has not slept, just listening to the movement behind him】

[Thunder is loud, stop talking]

Just finished speaking, the power went out!
Fortunately, she has the habit of charging her mobile phone before going to bed. The battery is already fully charged, and she still has three charging treasures, which are enough for a day.

After tossing and turning, Tan Xiaowei couldn't fall asleep. Xia Shengan woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. Hearing the sound of rain, he felt something was wrong. He wanted to send a message to Tan Xiaowei, but found that the whole village was pitch black!
This is?

Something must have happened!
He hurriedly got up, grabbed an umbrella, and went to Tan Xiaowei's house. When he arrived, Tan Jisong had already got up, and the village came to knock on the door overnight, asking the team leader to gather to fight the flood.

"Xiao Xia, why are you here?" Tan Jisong held an umbrella and was about to go out.

"Uncle Tan, where are you going?"

"The village is calling for assembly. I guess the situation is not good."

"Uncle, be careful, the river probably has spread to the road."

"Well, I know, Xiaowei is in the room and probably hasn't slept yet."

When he got up, he heard footsteps upstairs, back and forth, and everyone would not be able to sleep well tonight.

Tan Xiaowei went downstairs wearing slippers, and saw the back of her father leaving in a hurry.

"Sheng'an, what is my dad doing?" Tan Xiaowei asked hastily.

"Uncle Tan said that the village called the team leader to gather, maybe there is something that needs everyone's help."

"The rain feels like it's falling backwards. It hasn't stopped all day and night. The river at the entrance of the village probably hasn't crossed."

There was also the sound of mountains and rivers flowing down the alley, "rumbling", like drumming, Tan Xiaowei had never seen such a battle since she could remember.

Xia Shengan, who was born in the north, had never seen him before!
"I'm worried that something will happen at night. Uncle Tan went to the village committee again. I'll be with you tonight." Xia Shengan took Tan Xiaowei's hand, closed the door and went back upstairs.

"Yeah. That's good." I hope my father is safe, and I hope that the rain will stop at dawn.

In the second half of the night, the rain did not tend to decrease. Tan Xiaowei slept in a daze. When she woke up the next morning, the WeChat group exploded.

Many villages were flooded!
She hurriedly put on her clothes, and wanted to go out with her rain boots and raincoat. Xia Shengan followed behind: "Weiwei, don't worry, go to the roof to check the situation first."

The Tan family is located on a high ground, and standing on the top of the building can see the situation of the whole village.

"Alright."

He Lingyu went to the field early in the morning, and she will not be here, only Tan Jihui is eating breakfast.

At the top of the building, you can see a vast ocean, the water is very turbid, and there are still some floating branches. The bridge deck entering the village has been submerged, and the field near the river can't be seen at all.

Tan Xiaowei's heart sank again and again. There is this year's rice project in the village. If it is all submerged, it is not clear whether it can be kept.

"I have to go and see the melons of the members. I hope that the field will not be affected too much."

Once the rain stops, the sun will definitely come out, and Melon is most afraid of such weather.

Melons are perishable!

"I'll go with you, don't be in a hurry, you won't be able to solve the problem in a hurry." Xia Shengan reassured.

"Well, the terrain is higher. When I raised the ridges, I asked them to raise the ridges higher than in previous years, hoping to reduce some losses."

The two of them didn't eat breakfast, and went straight to the field with hoes and other tools.

When she arrived, Tan Xiaowei saw Uncle Jiu, a member of the cooperative: "Uncle Jiu, how are the melons in the field?"

When Uncle Jiu saw her, it was like meeting the backbone: "Our field is not flooded, but I am worried about the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests after the rain."

"Well, I'll contact the technicians in the city later and ask if they have a good solution, and I'll ask other experienced people." Tan Xiaowei had calmed down and started working immediately.

After the WeChat message was sent, it took about ten minutes to receive a reply.

The technicians asked them to apply pesticides to the melons, as well as drain and fertilize the fields.

Tan Xiaowei memorized them one by one, searched the Internet, and suggested the same.

"Uncle Nine, after the rain stops, we will organize people to come over and apply the medicine. This batch of melons must be saved no matter what."

"Okay. I will follow your arrangement."

"Well, since everyone is here, go home quickly to get the tools and unblock it immediately. Don't let the roots of the melon soak in the water for too long."

The members hurried home, took the tools and came over and prepared to do it.

Tan Xiaowei and Xia Sheng'an had already started work, while Uncle Jiu and the others went home to get pesticides and sprayers. It seemed that the rain had stopped temporarily.

Gotta take a chance.

He Lingyu brought them breakfast, the steamed buns and steamed buns that she and Aunt Wu brought out: "Weiwei, Xiaoxia, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat first."

"Okay." Tan Xiaowei greeted everyone to come up, and only after eating did they have the strength to do it.

On this day, Tan Xiaowei was soaking in the field, and Xia Shengan went back to work in the clinic after breakfast. He had to be on duty at this time.

At the end of the day, Tan Xiaowei's ankles were soaked white. Fortunately, the [-] acres of melons were drained, and fertilizers were applied.

Tired, but finally at ease.

On the way back, Tan Xiaowei broke up with the others at the intersection.

As soon as I got home, I saw Tan Jisong with a dignified face: "Dad, what's the matter?"

"The villages next door suffered a lot, especially the villages near the river in the town."

Tan Xiaowei opened WeChat and saw the circle of friends posted by some people.

"Well, I'll donate some supplies to the town. I'll go to the city and order some things back. How about the village, is the area affected by the disaster large?"

"Our village is fine. The main thing is that our village is far away from the river. Only the crops in the field near the river were damaged, and your rice was flooded. Now the water has receded a little. Let's see what happens tonight. .”

Several villages in the town were seriously affected by the disaster, and many old houses collapsed. The town organized a rescue team and is searching.

The city also sent a team down, hoping that it won't rain again tonight.

Tan Xiaowei was tired all day, and He Lingyu was the same. The mother and daughter sat on the chairs and didn't want to move, but Tan Jihui yelled that it was eight o'clock and she couldn't make dinner...

There was no other way, Tan Xiaowei and He Lingyu stood up, went to the kitchen to get something to eat for the night.

Tan Xiaowei got up before five o'clock the next day, and she had to go to the back mountain to have a look.

The soil in the back mountain is loose, and she is worried that there will be landslides.

When Xia Shengan sent her a message, her car had just arrived at the intersection, "Weiwei, wait for me for a while, I will go with you."

"Ah."

The two entered the mountain.

The scene in front of her almost made Tan Xiaowei unsteady. The already emerald green Luo Han Guo was buried in the loess, which was in a mess, and it was estimated that dozens of mu of fruit seedlings had been destroyed.
