They in the 70s

The rain has not stopped, the road is muddy, and walking is extremely slow.

It never occurred to Lu Zhansheng that when he arrived at the county seat, it was already evening.

He first went to the post office to post the letter, and then went to buy medicine immediately.

There are no private medical clinics or small pharmacies in the county seat. You need to go to the hospital to buy any medicine, and you have to find a doctor to write a prescription. Most of the doctors in the hospital are off work in the evening, and there are only a few in the emergency department. Busy, registering, queuing, looking for a doctor...

After a toss.

When Lu Zhansheng finally got the medicine and came out of the hospital, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and the supply and marketing cooperative had already closed down.

The one-way journey from the county seat to Shimen Village was more than 30 miles. It was such a long way to come here. If he didn't buy something for He Zhi to bring back, Lu Zhansheng would feel a little bit at a loss no matter what he thought.

So, he hesitated whether to stay for one night, wait until the supply and marketing cooperative opens tomorrow, and go back after shopping.

Just as he was standing at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative thinking about this matter, Liu Dawei from the Educated Youth Office passed by on the street and happened to see him.

"Huh, Comrade Xiao Lu?"

Liu Dawei was surprised to see Lu Zhansheng, so he immediately stopped and asked him, "Why did you come to the county?"

Lu Zhansheng shook the medicine in his hand.

"What's wrong?"

Liu Dawei suddenly felt a little nervous. "Is someone in the village sick again?"

"... "

It was estimated that this person was scared by the plague, so Lu Zhansheng had no choice but to explain: "It's not a serious illness, the weather is bad recently, grandma Sun in our village is getting old, and her waist always hurts, so I bought it for her. "

"Oh."

Liu Dawei immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt relieved.

Speaking of it, Liu Dawei didn't know Grandma Sun, but he had heard about it, because every year when Wu Changde came to the county to apply for the number of extremely poor families in the village, she would be mentioned in particular, so Liu Dawei knew that Grandma Sun was a widowed old man who had no one to rely on. Life is not easy when you are helpless.

As the director of the Educated Youth Office, Liu Dawei is usually responsible for dealing with all matters and problems of the educated youths. In his impression before, Lu Zhansheng was a very troublesome young man, and he had a lot of troubles shortly after he arrived in Shimen Village. I was very worried, afraid that Lu Zhansheng would cause some trouble.

So now that Lu Zhansheng will protect the children in the village and help the lonely old people in the village. It seems that he has integrated into Shimen Village better and better. Liu Dawei can finally feel relieved and is really gratified.

"Then why are you standing here? It's getting dark, why don't you hurry back?"

Lu Zhansheng looked back at the supply and marketing cooperative with its door closed. "There are still things I haven't bought, and I'm considering whether to come back tomorrow."

"Oh."

Liu Dawei said: "Then come back tomorrow, it happens to be raining, and it's not safe to drive at night."

Lu Zhansheng still hesitated, after all, if he stayed, he would have to live in a hostel, wasting money.

Seeing that Lu Zhansheng didn't answer, Liu Dawei stood on the spot and hesitated. After thinking about it, he probably understood Lu Zhansheng's concerns. He smiled and said, "There are still a few vacant dormitories at the Educated Youth Office. You can stay there for one night. .”

"... "

Lu Zhansheng hesitated again, thinking that it seemed to be God's will, so he went with Liu Dawei.

The Educated Youth Office not only has a dormitory where you can live, but also free meals. After arriving, Liu Dawei was in a good mood, and even took out the good wine he had collected.

Lu Zhansheng's drinking capacity was not very good, and he became confused after a few sips. He fell asleep and didn't wake up at all. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

The rainy weather outside is no longer there, replaced by fresh air and bright sunshine.

When Lu Zhansheng came out of the dormitory, he was even a little happy.

After all, the autumn harvest is just around the corner.

It is said that during these days of light rain, Lu Zhansheng has been worried about the autumn harvest, just in case something happens.

But now that the dark clouds have dissipated and the weather has turned better, it basically means that the belated rainy season in northern Shaanxi has passed, and the crops can grow safely until they are fully harvested, so Lu Zhansheng can finally rest assured.

He was in a good mood, and Lu Zhansheng felt that his steps were brisk. He planned to go back to Shimen Village after shopping at the supply and marketing agency, and say goodbye to Liu Dawei before leaving the Educated Youth Office.

But when he got to Liu Dawei's office, he found no one there, so he went to other offices and found no one...

The entire office compound of the Educated Youth Office was empty, and there was no one there.

Lu Zhansheng was very strange. He thought hard about today's day, and found that it didn't seem to be a rest day, and according to the working habits of people in the border and Sui areas, they all wished to work 360 days a year, and there was no rest day at all. .

After wondering for a long time, Lu Zhansheng continued to look for people in other places, and finally found an old man who was cleaning in the canteen run by the educated youth.

As soon as the old man saw him, he immediately took the initiative to talk to him: "Hey! You woke up, baby!"

Lu Zhansheng was stunned: "Master, what happened, where are the educated youth staff?"

"They all went to the countryside to help harvest food!"

The old man said: "Last night there was a sudden heavy rain!"

"what?"

Hearing those words, Lu Zhansheng was even more stunned for a moment, and he immediately looked up at the blue sky and beautiful sun in the sky.

Seeing his surprised face, the old man sighed, "You are amazing, you can really sleep!"

Lu Zhansheng: ...

In other words, last night after Lu Zhan fell asleep with too much alcohol, the sky began to change within a short time. After a burst of violent lightning and thunder, the wind and rain poured down.

The rain came quickly and violently. The leaders of the county party committee were afraid that the villages below would be flooded, so they organized public officials from all over the county to go to the villages one by one overnight to remind the villagers and help the villagers collect food.

Lu Zhansheng's quality of sleep after drinking was too good, he couldn't hear the loud thunder, Liu Dawei went to the room to call him, and he even kicked Liu Dawei's feet in agitation because his dreams were disturbed.

It was raining heavily on the county side, so I don't know what's going on in Shimen Village. Although it's more than 30 miles away, it's still under the same sky.

The more Lu Zhansheng thought about it, the more anxious he became, he no longer cared about going to the supply and marketing cooperative, bid farewell to the old man, and went straight out of the city after leaving the Educated Youth Office.

As soon as he left the city, Lu Zhansheng was taken aback by the sight in front of him.

People in the Bian Sui area like to live on high slopes, and the county seat is high, so there is nothing to see in the city after the rain, but the low-lying places outside the city are completely different.

Lu Zhansheng didn't know how much rain and how strong the wind was blowing last night, but when he looked around, as far as he could see, it was a dilapidated mess.

The surrounding farmland was flooded into one piece, and the ridges were no longer visible. The corn, sorghum and other crops were blown to and fro by the wind, and the fruits were all soaked in water.

After leaving the city, the main road was submerged within a short distance, and in some places it was even impossible to see where the road was.

Relying on the memory of several times of going back and forth, Lu Zhansheng waded through deep water and mud, and walked anxiously towards home.

As he walked, he saw two familiar figures from afar.

"He Zhi! Zheng Yan!!"

Lu Zhansheng yelled twice, and then ran forward immediately.

But as soon as he ran up to him, Zheng Yan suddenly came up to him angrily and kicked him hard without saying a word.

"Student Lu Zhan! What the hell are you doing!!"
