Traditional Chinese Medicine: Back to the years when educated youths went to the countryside

Chapter 143 Sudden Heavy Rain

The threshing floor has long been in chaos.

When the two arrived, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and they were already unsteady.

However, on the towering wheat straw piles everywhere, facing the strong wind, there were many people crawling on them.

Each one of them pulled hard on the raincloth as if they were desperate for their lives.

The sky was overcast and the wind was raging.

I couldn't see their faces clearly, I could only hear each other's shouts, both young and old.

The guys took the ropes and pulled the raincloth to cover the wheat straw pile.

No matter what, you can't let the cut wheat get wet in the rain.

That is the food ration for the whole village. After getting wet, if it is cloudy for several days, the wheat will sprout and rot, and a year's hard work will be in vain.

Therefore, when the weather suddenly changed, everyone started packing their things spontaneously without any need for greetings from the village cadres.

It's just that this wind is too evil.

The sky had been clear just a moment ago, but a cloud came over and immediately turned the sky into darkness.

Some of the thin ones couldn't hold on to the rain cloth at all. They were blown up by the strong wind and tossed around like they were carrying parachutes.

However, at this time, as long as you are a man, no one will give in easily.

Not to mention that I couldn't stand upright, even if my whole body was floating, I was not willing to let go.

In the corner of the threshing floor, a small man couldn't hold on anymore. He just hugged the canvas tightly and his whole body lay on it. His legs seemed to be unruly and he was tumbling at a very fast speed, swaying from side to side with the rain cloth. .

When Lao Guotou saw it, he rushed forward without saying a word, helped him, and held down the rain cloth tightly.

He was tall and strong, despite his age, and he was able to press the raincloth to the ground in one fell swoop.

When the little man saw it, he quickly let go of his hand, ran nearby, found a piece of wood, and pressed it heavily on it.

A pile of wheat straw covers it.

Wang Chengzhou did not go up to help, but immediately rushed towards the group of children under the shade of the tree at the end of the field.

The weather changes suddenly and heavy rain is coming.

The children who went to play in the fields were frightened, hugging the tree trunks, and crying repeatedly.

Some ignorant little babies ran into the fields to find their mothers regardless.

At this time, dark clouds were gathering and the sky was dark.

Vision began to blur.

When it rains heavily, the sky and the earth become hazy. Under the rain curtain, adults, let alone children, may not know where they are.

When the time comes, something will happen.

"Don't run around, go home quickly!"

Wang Chengzhou ran forward, waving his arms and roaring so loudly that his vocal cords were almost torn.

However, those children didn't listen to him at all.

Still crying and running around.

Wang Chengzhou was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He picked up a girl who was crying loudly and insisted on finding her mother in the fields and put her back on the path.

However, he really underestimated the child's stubborn temper.

As soon as he put it down, the little girl ignored him, opened her mouth wide and cried, her tonsils were exposed, and ran into the wheat field as usual.

I grabbed this one and ran away from that one.

It was like trying to catch a chicken to nest, it made his scalp numb with anger!

old hen!
Then, something happened in my heart.

Ignoring them, I quickly followed them into the field and told the old men and women to leave.

On weekdays, the parents of these children have to go to work and are quite busy, so their grandparents usually help take care of them.

In this case, I would definitely only listen to my grandparents.

Just like an old hen cuddling her babies, they must be led by the elderly before they can follow.

However, at this moment, the old man was going crazy with anxiety.

One by one, dragging their old bodies, they insisted on helping to load the car.

At the moment, the most important thing is to load the cut wheat into the car and send it to the threshing floor.

Otherwise, it will rain.

If it is cloudy and rainy continuously, and the wheat ears stick to the soil, they will soon sprout, and they will go bad faster than those in the wheat straw pile; if it is a sunny day, with the clouds and rain falling, and the wheat ears will be exposed to the sun, they will soon germinate. It will explode and scatter all over the floor.

In either case, there will be heavy losses.

Grandpas and grandmas all came from that era and suffered too much. It is absolutely impossible for them to watch the food that is about to go into their mouths being wasted.

Suddenly, my legs and feet became much more agile, and I loaded the wheat onto the cart.

Trembling, but his movements are not much slower than those of young people.

It's just that it looks so scary.

It would rain soon and the ground would be very slippery. Wang Chengzhou was afraid that they would fall out.

He rushed into the ground and shouted loudly:
"Old man, please leave quickly!"

"It's not that I won't let you help, it's those children who need to be taken care of."

"Remember what I just said? You may get sick if you are agitated by the rain, so take the children back quickly!"

A group of old men and women immediately became angry when they heard that someone refused to let them help.

Open your mouth, ready to curse.

When he looked up and saw that it was Wang Chengzhou, he held it in forcibly.

Since the eye disease of Widow Liu of Yanggao Village was cured, his status in the eyes of his grandparents has begun to rise infinitely.

Seeing that it was him who persuaded everyone to leave, they reluctantly put down the wheat and walked towards the field cursing.

"Damn it, God doesn't care at all. He's harvesting crops, why is it raining!"

"Let's go, stop talking! If Xiao Chengzhou doesn't let us do it, we won't do it."

"Hey, I was so anxious that I forgot about the child. Hurry up, hurry up, don't get caught in the rain!"

Veteran out, one top two.

Wang Chengzhou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw those stupid kids finally being led by a group of old people and running towards the village.

Suddenly, there was a cold feeling on the top of my head.

I reached out and touched it, it was wet.

"It's raining!"

"Hurry up!"

"Come on!"

Raindrops as big as soybeans fell from the depths of the clouds, hitting the body and causing a burst of pain.

Everyone's expressions changed completely.

The eldest girl and the younger daughter-in-law had already abandoned their sickles and were hurriedly carrying wheat to load onto the cart.

The men held big forks and picked at it.

There are not enough pallets in the production team, and the turnover cannot be run. Each one is packed to the sky.

It took four or five strong young men to push and pull before it could move.

As soon as the raindrops fell, everyone became more anxious.

One by one, the veins on their necks popped out as they pushed Che Bangzi.

Three large carts were filled with wheat cut throughout the morning.

The first two cars were okay, and they finally made it to the threshing floor.

As soon as the last car was loaded, the rain started to pick up.

In the blink of an eye, the entire field turned into a vast white country.

Apart from the rain, there was no way to distinguish the scenery in the distance.

The rain was so heavy that within a short time, the fields became muddy.

The car, which could only be pulled by four or five strong men, suddenly got stuck in the mud, and a dozen or so men could no longer pull it.

Even if the lesbians came to help, the wheels of the cart would just swing back and forth in the mud, unable to move at all.

"No, the rain is too heavy, the wheat straw is soaked, it's too heavy, we can't move it!"

"You have to do it even if you can't! Such a large cart of wheat can feed ten or twenty people. We must not let it rot in the ground!"

"Damn it, you're all dragging me as hard as you can to suck the milk! How can you still not deal with the Wang Family Village?"

The rain was so loud that everyone was shouting when they spoke.

Those older girls and younger wives were so wet that they couldn't even open their eyes, and their bangs were wet and dripping down.

I was a little discouraged at first.

Encouraged by the big guys, he lost his temper. He held the back of the car with his thin shoulders, pursed his lips, and let the heavy rain fall on him, his face turning pale.

Those young men and gentlemen were even more exaggerated. They hugged the shaft of the car and kicked the dirt with their feet. The angle between their bodies and the ground was almost at an acute angle.Walking in the mud and braving the heavy rain, everyone seemed to be fighting against the world.

Sweat and rain blurred his eyes, making it difficult to breathe.

Mud and ravines blocked the way forward, and despite all the strength, the cart could not be dragged out.

Some of the lesbians were on the verge of tears.

In despair, someone began to sing:
"One clear river and one Hutou Mountain,

Dazhai is right under that mountain.

Seven ditches and eight beams, one side slopes,

Layers of terraces spread out flatly.

The chubby cattle and sheep and the new houses are brand new,

On the kang, there is a lot of food in the bed under the flower quilt.

......"

The big guys were breathing heavily and picked up in twos and threes.

After a moment, the voice was loud and clear, soaring into the sky.

It seemed to cover up the sound of rain between heaven and earth.

Everyone's eyes shone with light, as if they had seen the beautiful and wealthy scenes in the song, and a new power gradually emerged from their bodies.

"The carrying pole carries away the rotten rocky slope,

Pouting out of the Miliang River,

The one with his head pouted drove out of Miliangchuan.

Difficulties layer upon layer of songs, one after another,

Build dams in ice and move mountains in snow.

Even if there are tens of millions of disasters,

Dare to call the sun and the moon a new day.

A new day! "

When the last line of the song fell.

Wang Chengzhou and Wang Yutang each hugged a wheel and moved their energy to the Dantian, using all their strength.

Roaring angrily, he forcibly lifted the large cart filled with wet wheat straw out of the mud pit.

For a moment, there was thunderous cheers!
The tears that had not been shed finally flowed out.

However, those were tears of laughter.

Everyone sang loudly all the way, braving the heavy rain, and pulled the car to the threshing floor.

In this case, there is definitely no way to unload the truck.

Wang Chengzhou suggested that the carts and wheat should be covered with raincloths.

You guys definitely don't have any objections.

However, when everyone was pulling raincloths to cover the cart, Wang Yutang stepped back and gave up his position.

He covered his shoulders and looked slightly pale.

When Wang Chengzhou saw it, he felt something was not good.

However, the rain was strong and the wind was strong. After everyone covered the wheat straw pile, they began to run home.

For a while, there was no way to ask.

I hurriedly returned home and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Wang Aiduo and Li Yuzhu.

Wang Honghe was holding a washbasin and standing under the beam to collect water.

The whole family looked at each other neatly, and then laughed silently.

At this time, the rain outside the door was getting heavier and heavier.

Roof leaks are becoming more and more serious.

The dripping dripping wet the few pieces of furniture.

Wang Aiduo and Li Yuzhu quickly found someone, and together with Wang Honghe, they stood under the beam to collect water.

At least you have to keep your bedding, right?

Otherwise, how can you sleep at night if you are wet?

"Hey, I have to build a house this year."

Li Yuzhu sighed and looked worriedly at the hole-riddled roof, "It's not the rainy season yet."

"In two months, if there is heavy rain, no one will be able to live in this house."

"It was originally an adobe house. It has been soaked for a long time and I am afraid it will collapse."

Si Ya was caught in the rain and was already a little cold. When she heard her say this again, her face turned pale.

tremblingly said:
"Mom, don't scare people."

"This house has some leaks, but it won't collapse, right?"

"Let me tell you, I don't even dare to sleep at night."

Wang Honghe poured out the rainwater in the washbasin and returned to stand under the beam.

With a sad face:

"Don't listen to your nonsense."

"Although our house is a mud house, it won't collapse after a few rains."

"Besides, the beams of our small house are very low, made of paulownia wood, and covered with thatch. Even if it collapses, it won't kill anyone."

Si Ya grinned, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.

The bad news is that the house really could collapse.

The good news is that no one will be killed if the house collapses.

What the hell joke is this...

"When the wheat is harvested, we will start building a house."

In order to stabilize the minds of his family, Wang Chengzhou told his plan in advance, "We really can no longer live in these three adobe houses."

"Not to mention that the bathroom is unhygienic, even for safety reasons, it has to be replaced with a brick building."

"And at least three rooms must be built."

Si Ya is 16 years old and will soon be a big girl. She must have a house of her own.

Wang Honghe and Li Yuzhu must live in one room.

It was impossible for Wang Chengzhou to squeeze in with his parents or younger sister, so he had to live in one room.

The kitchen and toilet are easy to deal with.

Build it lower and still make it into a thatched house, which can still be used.

Hearing his words, Li Yuzhu and Wang Honghe felt a little worried.

"Son, building a house is not about talking."

Li Yuzhu couldn't help but speak and began to calculate the details, "The bricks and tiles alone cost several hundred yuan."

"There are also purlins and rafters, plus doors and windows. It takes a lot of wood to buy, and it costs a lot of money."

"It costs money to hire workers, it costs money to take care of food, and it costs money to smoke."

As she talked, she couldn't speak anymore and could only sigh.

Wang Honghe took over the conversation, "After all, no matter what, it will cost 500 yuan."

"Our family has saved [-] yuan in the past two years, and we are still short of [-] to [-] yuan."

"Hey, the gap is too big!"

When she heard that a new house was going to be built, Si Ya's eyes brightened a lot and she was filled with joy.

But after calculating everything, his head slowly dropped, full of frustration.

"Mom and Dad, I earned a hundred and ten yuan from selling herbaceous herbs before, but after adding more, I only earned half of that."

Wang Chengzhou made up his mind and took out the money without hesitation.

"But what to do with the other half?"

Si Ya raised her head, hope rising in her heart.

She really wanted to live in a new house.

If I could live in a bright brick house, I would wake up laughing even when I sleep.

“During this period, I can still earn some.”

Wang Chengzhou thought of his watermelon frost, frowned and analyzed:
“Also, building materials don’t always have to be purchased.”

"There are trees in the mountains, we can ask people to cut them down. The brigade has cave dwellings, we can make the embryos and burn them ourselves!"

"As long as you are determined, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome."
