A Rural Life in the 70s

In the early summer, Xiaoqiu seems to have just slept for a while, and the sky in the east is gradually grayish.

After another small aftershock shocked Xiaoqiu, she no longer slept. Looking at the horseshoe clock through the morning sun, it was already 5:40 in the morning, but the sky was still not bright. The gray sky was thick with clouds... Obviously, as in her memory, the scene after the earthquake Three days of rain are coming.

The house has not been checked by himself, and the aftershocks are still going on. At this time, no one dares to go to sleep. Then it is an inevitable choice to take shelter from the rain in the yard or in the open area.

Xiao Qiuyan had some eyes that swelled and fevered. While talking to Song Xiulian, she got up and jumped out of bed: "Mother, Tianyin came down. Where did I go to the county to buy plastic sheets a few days ago? Have to take a ride, so as not to rain, the chickens have no place to hide!"

Song Xiulian had a weak temper, and the earthquake in the night made her frightened. After that, she only knew that she was holding her child in the woods, and she was always on guard, but did not notice the change of the sky. So Xiaoqiu reminded her, she looked up and looked at it, then panicked down the little winter in her arms and said: "It’s under the bed of your sisters! Xiaoqiu, you take out the plastic cloth, go Looking for you, you can’t do it..."

Xiaoqiu has already put on her shoes. Listening to Song Xiulian said, she smiled back and said: "Mother, you didn't pay attention. When I took the mosquito net last night, I let him use the thick bamboo. Now, we only use Pick up the plastic cloth and take a layer on it... Oh, mother, you go to the backyard and move a few bricks. After you set up the plastic sheet, you need to press it with bricks!"

The best way to get rid of fear and get rid of sorrow is to do something. Xiaoqiu gave Song Xiulian a good job, and then she went to get the plastic sheet and went to the stove to move the chair and stool...

For this day, Xiaoqiu had already prepared early, and even after all the various countermeasures, she also practiced countless times in her mind. Therefore, what was done at the moment was well organized and busy.

She squatted the stool on the chair, then climbed and stepped on it, and tied the plastic sheet to the bamboo poles on the corners with fine linen. Being busy with concentration, suddenly a wave of aftershocks struck, the chair stool under her feet swayed...

Song Xiulian was moving five or six bricks back from the backyard. The aftershocks came. She subconsciously used her shoulders to lean against the house, stabilized her body, and then looked up at the books and children in the yard, but she was shocked to see her eldest daughter standing. Got high on the chair stool.

The chair stools that were together were not stable. The earthquake struck, and it was crumbling. Xiaoqiu held the bamboo poles in both hands and was already on the stool above. She had expected this situation before, in anticipation, in case On the aftershocks, she only needs to kneel down, then step on a chair and jump off, and move the chair stool away as soon as possible. The province is swaying, and maybe the younger brother and sister who are on the bed.

However, she really can't get down from the crumbling stool!

After the shock, the chair stool was shaking a lot. She held the bamboo pole and barely let herself fall, but she could not withdraw one leg and leave the stool to step on the chair.

Song Xiulian suddenly broke out at this moment. She refused to shake the earth under her feet and forgot to throw away the bricks in her hands. Then she held five or six heavy bricks and rushed to the bed at a slow speed. Throw away the bricks in his hand, then pounce on it, open his hand and grab the stool under the foot of Xiaoqiu, and pull hard to her own arms, while shouting: "Little autumn hand!"

Upon hearing the shouts of Song Xiulian, Xiaoqiu subconsciously let go, and the body fell down with the stool. In the next second, she fell into a warm and soft embrace!

In an emergency, Song Xiulian unexpectedly pulled the eldest daughter off the stool and opened her arm to take a full look - but her body was not good, and she was experiencing an aftershock. She took the eldest daughter and hugged her. At the same time, the body could not stand, and fell straight backwards.

The two of them fell together like this, except that Song Xiulian was under the scene and gave Xiaoqiu a humanoid cushion.

The moment when the two fell, the end of the aftershock, the two fell on the ground, but the earth re- quieted, Xiaoqiu quickly got up, and then went to see the situation of Song Xiulian: "Mother, are you okay? Where is it? Legs? Waist? Arms..."

Song Xiulian, who had wrestled, reacted, but suddenly hugged her eldest daughter and cried: "You are a dead child, you can scare the mother! Oh..."

Listening to her crying, Xiaoqiu suddenly let go of her heart. She slowly raised her hand and hugged her own mother. She took a deep breath and raised her head. The tears still uncontrollably followed the eyes and two slips. Come down.

She always thought that her aging mother was too soft, too warm, and even deep inside, it was not useless for her aging mother... But today, she knows that when she sees her child in danger, her aging mother can also become invincible. King Kong!

The two of them cried for a while and soon settled down.

Xiaoqiu went up to Qiongzhuo, and Song Xiulian did not dare to leave, insisting on holding the chair stool underneath. The two girls worked together. Song Xiulian not only could hold the chair, but also handed a hemp rope and the like, and whispered something, but soon tied the four horizontal bamboo poles.

As Xiaoqiu said, when the tent was set up the day before, Xiaoqiu let Wang Limin use the thick bamboo raft, and one root bamboo has her calf thick, and each bamboo raft is close to the top, Xiaoqiu makes Wang Limin screw The iron wire, the excuse of the previous is to hang the mosquito net, but now, it is just tied to the fixed horizontal bamboo pole.

Then, Xiao Qiu and Song Xiulian, together with a thin bamboo raft, picked up a thick plastic sheet and took it from the top of the mosquito net. Then Xiaoqiu stepped on the chair stool that was picked up, and tied the four corners of the plastic sheet with the hemp rope at the four corners of the bamboo pole. on. The four sides of the plastic cloth hang down, and then the bricks are pressed, and the wind is not strong, so they are not afraid of being blown over.

The shed was set up, Song Xiulian went to the water, and the girls washed their hands.

"Autumn, you didn't sleep well in the night, I am still early, I will sleep a little longer, I will cook!" Song Xiulian poured a dirty water on her face and said to Xiaoqiu.

As he said, Chengjiang Chenghe’s brothers hurried in and looked up at the shed in the middle of the yard. Chenghe laughed: “I said that Xiaoqiu Lili, the designation is packed, and the second brother is not at ease...”
