In the past few days when Xiao Xiangdong was not at home, Meng Xiaoman tried to schedule his time as full as possible so that he would not have random thoughts. I go to the sea every morning and pick up the seafood and go home to clean it up. After lunch, I take a lunch break and either take my shoe soles to chat with Gu Mengjie, or I clean up the vegetable plot and garden.

The harvest this morning was great, and Meng Xiaoman was busy until one o'clock before eating lunch. She was taking a nap when she was suddenly awakened by the tapping of the window. When she got up, she found that the sky was overcast and the wind was extremely strong. She quickly took the dried vegetables and seafood in the yard into the house.

As soon as she finished collecting her things, Gu Mengjie came to tell her that a typhoon was coming, and asked her to quickly seal the windows and put all the things in the yard into the house. She also asked her to pick more vegetables and go home. It was raining so hard that it was hard to even go out.

After talking to Meng Xiaoman, Gu Mengjie turned around and walked home. She also had to be prepared. Seeing that her body was a little unstable due to the wind, Meng Xiaoman shouted to her: "You can move in with me for a few days, and we will also have care."

Gu Mengjie didn't grow vegetables on her private plot. She usually went to the supply and marketing cooperative or the market to buy vegetables. Today, the typhoon came suddenly, so she didn't stock up on anything at home. Thinking of this, Gu Mengjie agreed to Meng Xiaoman's proposal. "Okay, come over after I finish getting the house ready."

After tidying up the things at home and moving the potted flowers under the eaves, Meng Xiaoman took a hoe and a basket and went to the private plot.

She had to pick all the edible vegetables, otherwise they would be soaked in rain for several days and they would definitely go bad.

There are many people in the private plot, including people from various families who are stocking vegetables and strengthening vegetable shelves. There are also many children helping to pick vegetables.

It took two trips back and forth before Meng Xiaoman finished transporting the vegetables. Fortunately, he had pickled a lot of dried radishes and beans some time ago, otherwise he would have had to make two trips.

The remaining vegetable seedlings were too young to pick, so Meng Xiaoman kept them.

After finishing the dishes, Meng Xiaoman also dismantled the bean rack that was blown crooked by the wind. Before the bamboo poles were cleaned, big raindrops fell down. In an instant, it turned into a heavy downpour, and the wind became stronger and stronger.

"Go back quickly!"

"Go home quickly and stop doing this!"

When he got home, he put the bamboo pole in the storage room. Seeing that Gu Mengjie hadn't come yet, Meng Xiaoman found a bamboo hat and put it on before looking for her.

Gu Mengjie was fighting with a window. When she saw Meng Xiaoman coming over, she seemed to see a savior, "Come and help me, the window can't be nailed."

The two of them worked together to nail the window shut. Gu Mengjie took two more clothes, locked the door, and then walked to Meng Xiaoman's house.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the two of them held hands tightly to avoid being blown away by the wind, and the rain seemed to be splashing on them.

When they returned to the house, both of them were soaked to the skin. Gu Mengjie survived by putting her clothes in her purse.

The two of them changed into dry clothes and wiped their hair. The originally bright sky was now like night. The huge lightning that lit up in the sky seemed to split the sky. The rumble of thunder was deafening, and the wind blew the doors and windows. ring.

"I don't know what happened this year. It's already November, and there's still such a big typhoon." Gu Mengjie said.

"I hope those fishing boats going out to sea are fine," Meng Xiaoman said.

"Yeah, the camp has sent people to respond. It should be fine. I just don't know if Changqing and the others are at sea. What will they do in such a big typhoon?"

"Don't worry too much, they may be performing tasks in other sea areas."

"Hopefully."

The two of them were caught in the rain, so in the evening Meng Xiaoman made ginger soup to ward off the cold, picked some seafood, and made a pot of seafood noodles. After the two of them finished eating, they washed up and went to sleep.

Meng Xiaoman thought that the typhoon would be over in one night, but he did not expect that it lasted for two days and did not stop until the afternoon of the third day.

The flowers and plants in the yard were blown here and there, their branches and leaves were dull, and the woody tree in the corner of the yard was almost uprooted.

"You clean up the yard, and I'll go home and take a look. I've been troubling you for the past two days. When Changqing comes back, I'll treat you to dinner."

"You can bring some vegetables with you. The market may not be open these two days." Meng Xiaoman loaded a basket of vegetables for her to carry.

After Gu Mengjie left, Meng Xiaoman began to tidy up the flowers and plants in the yard. Thanks to the topography of her home, there was no accumulation of water in the yard.

Use a wood saw to cut the bamboo pole into a suitable length, insert it next to the fallen flower branch, straighten the trunk of the fallen flower branch, and tie it to the bamboo pole with a hemp rope. After a while, it will grow straight on its own.

After finishing the flowers, Meng Xiaoman replanted the woody tree in the corner and buried two fish in the pit to replenish nutrients for the root system.

After finishing my yard work, it was already dark. The power on the island was cut off on the day the typhoon came. Although there are power cuts in normal times, there is still electricity at least, unlike now, when everything is dark.

Meng Xiaoman finished eating early and lay down. I don't know if it's because I've slept too much in the past two days or something, but I don't feel sleepy at all.

Xiao Xiangdong has been on a mission for more than a week and he hasn't come back yet. Is there any accident? No, no, Meng Xiaoman quickly got rid of the bad thoughts in his mind. Could it be that he was injured? Need to be treated for a while? Meng Xiaoman thought again, otherwise why it took so long.

In order to stop himself from thinking wildly, Meng Xiaoman simply went to space to harvest crops.

This season, glutinous rice was planted in the space. It was already the harvest season. Meng Xiaoman simply collected it all and returned it to the warehouse. By the way, he also planted the sweet potatoes and potatoes that were distributed.

It's the same thing going back and forth, and nothing new is given. Meng Xiaoman complained while planting.

After planting, Meng Xiaoman felt a little tired.

Now her mental strength is much higher than before. If we put it all together, these tasks would have to be done in at least two days.

After staying at home for a few days, Meng Xiaoman felt so depressed that she went to the market after breakfast.

There were very few people in the market. There were only a few families selling vegetables at small stalls, and a few women picking and choosing. Sister-in-law Wu’s fish stall was not open, and Uncle Chen, the fruit seller, didn’t come either.

Meng Xiaoman asked a nearby vegetable seller and found out that Captain Chen had been injured at sea two days ago.

"A lot of fishermen were injured in this typhoon, and two of them fell into the sea. They couldn't even find their bodies," said the vegetable seller. "Hey, Captain Chen was also seriously injured. It is said that even the military hospital can't treat him. , I have to transfer him to a big hospital in Lu City.”

Another aunt also said, "I live next door to Lao Chen, and I heard Sister-in-law Wu crying several times in the past two days. It seems that Lao Chen's head is afraid of spending money and doesn't want to be treated, but Sister-in-law Wu doesn't agree. And her son and daughter-in-law What, it’s a mess anyway.”

Meng Xiaoman asked Captain Chen's address and planned to visit the village.
