Zhang Ran was sitting in the classroom, staring at the rain outside the window in a daze. Suddenly, she felt someone poking her arm with a pen. She turned her head to meet Fu Qin's curious eyes, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong with you recently? Why are you always staring at the rain outside in a daze?" The final exams are in half a month. At this most critical moment, Xiaoyue will only study harder than usual, instead of staring at the rain in a daze like she does now.

Zhang Ran looked serious: "The rainfall has exceeded the limit. We are in trouble."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Not wanting to disturb other students' studies, Fu Qin leaned in and whispered, "What are you talking about?"

Zhang Ran: "The neighbor's land is low-lying. It has been raining heavily for half a month. They are going to open the gates to release water again."

Fu Qin finally understood what Zhang Ran said. She bit her lips in anger, her eyes full of sadness. "Isn't this year going to be ruined again?"

Because of this, Fu Qin had no mood to study. She would stare at the heavy rain outside from time to time, praying to the heavens in her heart, "Stop it, stop it," but it was useless. The heavens could not hear their prayers, and the rain got heavier and heavier, as if someone had pierced the sky and the rain poured down.

Just three days had passed, and before the final exam holiday, the school decided to close early and the final exam was not held.

The head teacher stood on the podium and said with a serious face: "Due to frequent heavy rains, the superiors have decided to give all students a holiday and suspend classes. As for the final exam, it will be held next semester, so you must study hard during the holidays at home and don't slack off. The exam at the beginning of the semester will determine whether you will be divided into arts or science classes."

The students were so happy about the early holiday that they rushed out of the classroom, into the dormitory, and out of the school.

Zhang Ran returned to the store with a serious expression, dragging his suitcase and carrying a heavy schoolbag.

I went upstairs to put my luggage away and went to the backyard to help bring the food cooked by Daya to the table. Then I walked to the front shop and called the new female clerk to eat together.

The female clerk took her bowl and went to the front of the store to look after it.

Daya looked at Zhang Ran and said, "Xiaoyue, have you heard? The higher-ups have ordered that everyone in the county town must evacuate within three days. Those with relatives can go to live with them, and those without relatives can be settled in the mountains behind our town."

Zhang Ran was already used to it, "Yeah."

Daya sighed deeply: "It's over now, alas!"

Zhang Ran: "After dinner, let's go to the warehouse outside and move all the clothes over and put them upstairs on our side."

"Yes, yes, yes." Daya nodded repeatedly. In case the town was flooded, it would be safer to put the clothes on the second floor. After all, the warehouse over there was just a bungalow.

"Give her a paid vacation and let her go home." The "she" Zhang Ran was referring to was the newly hired female clerk.

"I understand what a holiday is, but what does a paid holiday mean?" Daya was a little confused for a moment.

"She will still receive her salary during the holiday." Zhang Ran explained, "You have observed her for several months. She works diligently and hard. This is what she deserves."

"Yeah." Daya nodded in agreement. After dinner, she gave the female clerk a day off and asked her to come back to work after the flood receded.

The salesgirl went home happily.

After closing the shop, Zhang Ran and Daya went to the warehouse outside. Seeing the warehouse full of clothes, Daya was dumbfounded, "Why are there so many?! Even if we work ourselves to death to move them all in, there won't be enough space on the second floor." She didn't think it was a lot normally!

Zhang Ran thought for a moment and remembered that he hadn't given the female driver a holiday yet, so he suggested, "When she comes back, let's help load all the clothes onto the car and have her transport them to City S."
