Rebirth 1983: The counterattack started from hunting in the mountains

Chapter 19: Protecting Mother and Meeting Relatives

Qingyang Town, Shaxiwan Village, is actually quite far away from Zhaojia Village. It takes half a day to walk along the mountain road, and a whole day to walk along the main road.

Zhang Yaoyang's grandmother's home is located here. It is said that there is a lush and flourishing red flowering tree at the door.

It is early spring now, all the trees are reviving, and the pink flowers of the red trees are in full bloom. The scenery should be pretty.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good. Just as Zhang Yaoyang predicted, at four o'clock in the middle of the night, heavy rain fell.

This lasted for three hours without any break.

Liu Huifang put on new clothes and new shoes early in the morning and prepared gifts to take back to her parents' home.

But the rain was so heavy that I couldn’t go out. I could only sit at home and suffer.

Zhang Yaoyang knew his mother's heart knot. She had been married for more than 20 years and had never been able to return to her parents' home. Every time she went there she would be ruthlessly driven away.

In the past few years, I used to go there once a year, but recently I haven’t been there for three years.

When you get hurt too many times, you slowly become discouraged.

However, when the Zhang family had completely cut off contact, the sudden invitation from her mother's family naturally could not be a good thing.

Poor Liu Huifang was still dreaming, imagining that her family had accepted her again, so she was very anxious.

Zhang Yaoyang saw this and knew that if he didn't resolve the matter, his mother would definitely be unhappy.

So he found his straw raincoat and put it on, then put on a bamboo hat, dragged out a large piece of tarpaulin that was covering the firewood, and covered the tricycle with it.

"Mom, bring your stuff up here, and then stay in the car under this cloth to avoid the rain. I'll take you to Shaxi Village."

"No, no, you can't stand such heavy rain just wearing this. You'll get sick if you get wet. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe the rain will stop."

Zhang Yaoyang's body is now as strong as a calf, and it is impossible for him to get sick.

He had to persuade her: "Mom, I looked at the sky last night, and the rain will not stop today."

"If we don't leave now, the rain will break the river channel, and it will be absolutely impossible to get to Shaxi Village."

After hearing his analysis, Zhang Yongqiang was the first to jump out.

"Let me do it. I'll go and take Mom there. I'm much stronger than you, little brother."

Zhang Yaoyang didn't respond and made an excuse.

"Brother, I have a classmate whose family lives in Shaxi Town. I want to consult him about something. Don't fight with me for it. That's it!"

Zhang Yaoyang spoke very convincingly and quickly tricked Liu Huifang into getting into the car.

He propped up the tarpaulin with a bamboo pole in the middle, which would both maintain space for movement and prevent rainwater from accumulating and leaking into the car, soaking the precious gifts.

After making all the necessary preparations, he rode out on his bike in the heavy rain.

There was only one set of rain gear prepared at home, and the others were all broken.

If the weather was good, Zhang Yongshou would be willing to accompany Liu Huifang back to her parents' home. Even if he would be scolded by the Liu family, he would endure it.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good and we could only watch the mother and son go.

The rain was unreasonably heavy.

As soon as I stepped out of the house, I felt a stream of cold rain running down my neck and into my clothes.

Within ten minutes he was soaked.

But it doesn’t matter. There are dry clothes prepared in the space, so you can change into them when you get to the destination.

The conditions in the countryside are not very good. There is not even a place to buy and sell umbrellas. All needs can only be met at the supply and marketing cooperatives, which is quite troublesome.

He had a plan in his mind to open a convenience store.

Some necessities such as oil, rice, ginger, vinegar and tea are needed by every family. He only needs to find a supply channel and he can start the business naturally.

Moreover, it can also provide cover for the sales of mountain products in the future.

Sure enough, when the mother and son were still half an hour away from Shaxi Village, they were trapped in front of a river.

The river water here has already submerged the bridgehead. If the system had not identified the existence of the bridge, he, who is not familiar with the road, would not have been able to see the location of the bridge at all, let alone dare to set out on the road rashly.

"Second brother, this is too risky. Forget it. Let's go back quickly. Mom will go home and boil some water for you..."

Liu Huifang poked her head out from the tarpaulin and saw Zhang Yaoyang, who was soaked all over. She then looked at the swollen river surface and felt extremely regretful. She was no longer so persistent in her desire to see her relatives.

If she couldn't go back, then she couldn't go back. If her family didn't recognize her because of this natural disaster, then she couldn't do anything about it. The right thing to do now was to take care of her children first.

Zhang Yaoyang looked at the water depth, which was only half the height of a wheel. He used his top student brain to calculate the water flow rate. As long as he didn't go off track, he could still cross the bridge.

"Mom, we're just one step away. Just sit tight and leave the rest to me."

"But……"

While Liu Huifang was trembling with fear, Zhang Yaoyang decisively threw some more stones into the carriage to increase the weight, and then pedaled the wheels onto the bridge.

At the same time, I felt very fortunate that I didn't buy a tractor.

That thing runs on oil, and in this kind of heavy rain, it won't last long before it stalls.

Although it took three hours of effort, Zhang Yaoyang felt that his body could still hold on and he was not panicked at all.

The car was washed by the huge water flow, but because the things it was carrying weighed two or three hundred kilograms, as long as Zhang Yaoyang kept the steering wheel steady, he could rush through.

Liu Huifang was shocked by Zhang Yaoyang's crazy behavior. She didn't dare to breathe, for fear that any sound she made would disrupt his pace of work.

Fortunately, ten minutes later, under Zhang Yaoyang's strong control, the mother and son safely reached the other side.

We were busy until 12 noon when we finally arrived at our destination.

A very ordinary red mud thatched house, with a lobby in the middle and side rooms for living on both sides.

After parking the tricycle under the red flower tree, Zhang Yaoyang pulled the tarpaulin and protected Liu Huifang as they came under the eaves.

During these several hours, his mother was not exposed to the rain at all, and even her shoes were dry. He really took very good care of her.

In contrast, Zhang Yaoyang can only be described as a drowned rat, and he looks like he had just been pulled out of the water.

Liu Huifang didn't have time to knock on the door. She just helped Zhang Yaoyang take off his raincoat with concern so that he could feel more comfortable.

It was at this moment that the cursing voice of a middle-aged man suddenly rang out.

"What a rotten weather this is. It keeps raining non-stop. It's really annoying. If it keeps raining, the roof will collapse and we won't be able to sleep anymore."

Then, the voice of one of the cousins ​​came from inside the house: "Oh no, there's another leak. What are you guys still standing there for? Find a way to fix the roof!"

Zhang Yaoyang raised his eyebrows. These cousins ​​all looked quite rich, but no one of them was willing to pay to renovate this old house.

It seems that my grandpa and parents-in-law's life is not as good as I imagined.

Several cousins ​​were sent out to repair the roof, and naturally they discovered the presence of the mother and son. The atmosphere became tense and solemn for a while.
