Chapter 37 Typhoon day
As Lin Wei’s learning to swim has been put on the agenda, the time has also entered August.
Lin Wei has never liked August very much. First, because of the heat, the countryside often refers to the dog days, which refers to the period from mid-July to mid-August, and Lin Wei felt that the beginning of August was the most difficult.
Second, because of the busy schedule, the double robbery also started in late July, and it will be busy until late August. In the busiest days, the entire team, men, women, and children, have to move. Even after those few days, the adults in the family were not allowed to relax, and all the housework fell on her head, such as washing and cooking, raising chickens and feeding ducks, and doing homework, she could only squeeze time between her teeth.
Things were a little better after the marriage, but once in the army, I had that dream, so that in the few days of August, Lin Wei was restless.
Especially in the morning of August 1, Zong Shao suddenly remembered before going to the military camp and said, “There may be a typhoon these days, you should be careful at home, it is best to avoid going out.”
Originally, Lin Wei was still half asleep, but she immediately woke up when she heard this: “Typhoon? When?”
“These days, I’m not sure when.” Seeing Lin Wei’s eyes full of apprehension, Zong Shao sat down beside the bed and said, “Don’t worry, I heard that the typhoon is not big this time, even if it goes ashore, it should only be windy and rainy. , you will be fine if you stay at home. And the situation at sea is changing rapidly, maybe the typhoon will turn before it goes ashore.”
In fact, Lin Wei knew that this typhoon would not happen. In the original book, she died in the typhoon day next year.
And from the current clues, it can only be determined that she died on that day, but the specific reason for her death, whether it has anything to do with the typhoon, is uncertain.
Because of this, Lin Wei immediately told Zong Shao that she would go back to Shicheng after she didn’t go to the island.
If she wasn’t destined to die, she, who already knew the future, might change her fate on the island. On the contrary, if she is destined to die, even if she returns to Shicheng, she may not be able to change anything.
It’s just that although Lin Wei was intellectually clear, when she learned that the typhoon was coming, her heart couldn’t help but twitch, and she felt a little bit of fear.
She grabbed Zong Shao’s hand, raised her head and asked, “Are you going out these days?”
Seeing her unease, Zong Shao touched her hair and said warmly, “No, going to sea on a typhoon day is risky.”
Lin Wei asked again, “What about that night? Will you come back?”
Although an officer like Zong Shao with family members could stay at home at night, the battalion had to have a leader every day, so he had to take turns every three or four days.
Calculate the time, Zong Shao will be on duty tomorrow night.
Zong Shao pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll change classes with Lao Zhou and come back in the evening these few days.”
Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief: “Well.”
…
Zong Shao told Lin Wei about looking for Zhou Jianhai to change shifts, and he saw him when he came out of the house.
After hearing this, Zhou Jianhai asked, “Why do you suddenly have to change shifts?” He was either unwilling to change shifts, or just wondering, he had worked with Zong Shao for so many years, but he had never encountered such a time.
Zong Shao explained: “Doesn’t this mean a typhoon is coming? Wei Wei and the children have just come to the island. If there is a typhoon, they may be afraid when I’m not there.”
“Brother and sister are afraid of typhoons? Not really, right?” Zhou Jianhai said, rubbing his chin.
The two families lived in front of each other, and the daughters-in-law also got close. Zhou Jianhai and Lin Wei also had to communicate with each other. They knew her well, knowing that this girl looked weak, but she was sturdy in her bones.
Said she was afraid of typhoons? Zhou Jianhai couldn’t believe it.
He looked up at Zong Shao and asked jokingly, “It’s not that your daughter-in-law is afraid, but you are worried that she is afraid?”
Zong Shao didn’t answer, he just said, “Just tell me if you want to change.”
The more Zong Shao avoided, the more Zhou Jianhai felt that he had guessed the truth. He smiled and said, “Change, of course I would like to change. My younger brother and sister just came to the island and have never experienced a typhoon, so I might be afraid.”
When I went back in the evening, I told my daughter-in-law about it: “You said that Lao Zong, who looks confused, actually cares about his daughter-in-law.”
After listening to Deng Xiangyun, he said, “You are too embarrassed to say that people don’t understand the style. In my opinion, you are not as good as him.”
“Just Zong Shao’s icy appearance, I’m not as good as him?” Zhou Jianhai couldn’t believe it, pointed to his nose and asked, “Daughter-in-law, are your eyes alright?” Then he leaned closer to look at Deng Xiangyun’s eyes.
Deng Xiangyun slapped him away with a slap: “What’s wrong with Leng Bingbing? He doesn’t do this to his family. Really, Deputy Battalion Commander Zong is at best cold on the outside and hot on the inside. In my opinion, someone like him can be compared to those who are clearly tied. Married, and the people who make fun of little girls are much stronger.”
Zhou Jianhai felt something was wrong: “Daughter-in-law, there is something in your words.”
Deng Xiangyun looked at him sideways: “Oh? What do you think is hidden in my words?”
Zhou Jianhai was suddenly shocked, raised his watch and said faithfully: “Daughter-in-law, I never make fun of little girls. In front of other women, I’m cold and ignorant.”
Hearing that the more he talked, the less formal he was, Deng Xiangyun laughed: “Okay, I didn’t talk about you again.”
“Then who are you talking about? Can you let me listen?” Zhou Jianhai leaned into his wife’s ear and asked.
“You want to know who does what?”
In fact, Zhou Jianhai was just curious, but he knew that his daughter-in-law would definitely not pay attention to him, so he said solemnly: “After I know who it is, I can keep a distance from this kind of person, and take it as a warning, right?”
“It’s okay, you don’t know anyone well.”
Although Zhou Jianhai always smiles and looks unsteady, in terms of life style, he is still very reliable.
Outsiders always feel that with Deng Xiangyun’s ingredients, if someone is willing to give up the future to marry her, she should nod without hesitation. But in fact, Deng Xiangyun nodded his head after experiencing a difficult ideological struggle.
He sacrificed so much for her. Of course, when the love is strong, everything is fine, but when the relationship subsides, he may regret it, and even feel that she owes him, and she will not be able to hold her head up in the marriage because of this.
She didn’t want to live like that, so she hesitated.
But in the end, she chose to believe in his character, so she made up her mind to bet this time.
At present, she made the right bet. It was difficult for him all these years, but he never showed any regret in front of her, so she believed him.
The daughter-in-law believed in herself, and Zhou Jianhai was very happy, so she didn’t ask any further questions. But he thinks one thing must be made clear: “Although Lao Zong is worse than those guys who make fun of little girls in your mouth, he is definitely not as good as me when it comes to caring for his daughter-in-law.”
After finishing the conclusion, Zhou Jianhai explained appropriately: “This time, I agreed to change shifts with him because I saw so many years of war camaraderie, and because his daughter-in-law had just come to join the army and had never seen a typhoon. It won’t be so easy to talk, because I will also come back to sleep with my wife.”
“I’m not afraid of typhoons. I can sleep if you don’t come back.” A girl who grew up by the sea, how could she be afraid when she saw a lot of typhoons.
Zhou Jianhai said with kindness: “I need my daughter-in-law to accompany me.”
A faint smile appeared on Deng Xiangyun’s face. old shígG duga
…
August 2nd, a full year after Lin Wei’s accident in the original novel.
Lin Wei and the two children had just finished breakfast, and when they were washing the dishes, the sky turned cloudy, and a shout came from the family area: “The typhoon is coming, put away your clothes and close the windows!”
Lin Wei suddenly regained her senses, and quickly cleaned the dishes and put them in the kitchen, then climbed up to the kitchen and put the clothes that were about to dry into the room.
He closed the kitchen window again, and when he locked the door, he saw Mingming Ruirui playing outside the yard, so he hurriedly called them back: “The typhoon is coming, come back soon!”
After shouting, Lin Wei went to move the dining table and stools. When the brothers came back and saw them, they also helped move two stools into the house, and followed their mother to close the windows one by one.
As soon as she closed the window of the second master bedroom, Lin Wei saw the rain pouring down, crackling on the glass. Because the window was not completely closed, cold raindrops poured in with the wind, and Lin Wei was instantly wet, and the ground quickly accumulated water.
Lin Wei hurriedly closed the remaining half of the windows, then turned around to close the back windows.
The wind came from the sea, and the rain did not come in from behind. But as soon as the window was closed, Lin Wei remembered that the pot of mandarin duck jasmine that was transplanted back a while ago was still on the balcony, and hurriedly opened the back door to move the flowers.
Although the wind was blowing from the front to the back, the balcony was extended. Lin Wei was chilled as soon as she went out.
However, two petals of the flower in the pot were knocked off by the rain, and one flower stem was broken. If it is not moved in, it may not be able to survive this typhoon day.
Lin Wei was heartless and rushed out to hug the flowerpot.
The flower pot is actually an enamel basin for washing the face. It is a bit heavy to hold it empty, not to mention that there is so much soil in it. After Lin Wei took it down, she bent down and had to put the flower pot on the ground.
“Mother!”
The brothers who followed from the main house saw that she was soaking wet, and wanted to come out. Lin Wei glanced at her out of the corner of the eye and quickly shouted, “Don’t come out!”
The two children stopped and stopped moving forward.
Lin Wei bent down and dragged the flowerpot in, and closed the door to the balcony, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Too tired to move.
Mingming walked up to Lin Wei, wiped the rain on her face with his hand, and said, “Mom, you are all wet.”
Lin Wei snorted, raised her head and asked, “Can you two go down and get me a towel?”
The two children agreed and went downstairs one after another.
After they left, Lin Wei stretched out her hand to support the flower whose stem was broken and made it stand upright. But this is obviously in vain. Although it can stand up again with external force, the stem has been broken and there is no chance for growth.
Lin Wei was thinking when footsteps came from downstairs, and after a while, the two children came up with towels.
Lin Wei thanked her, raised her head and covered her face with a towel, wiped the water off her face, and rubbed her wet hair slightly.
When she lowered her head, she saw that Rui Rui was squatting in front of the flower pot, and Rui Rui reached out and grabbed the flower whose stem was broken, looked up and said, “Mom, is it dying?”
Although the two mandarin duck jasmine plants were mainly taken care of by Lin Wei after they were transplanted, the brothers also liked them very much, and they pushed open the back door every day to take a look.
Rarity is more sensitive, and it will be a little sad to see the flower broken.
Lin Wei touched the little guy’s head and comforted: “If the rhizome is fine, the flower will not die. This flower is at most its hands and feet. Now that it is broken, it will grow new flowers after recuperating for a while. Come out, as for this flower…”
Lin Wei reached out and folded the flower completely and said, “We can raise it with water so that it can live for a few more days.”
Rarity said immediately, “Then I’ll go get some water.”
Lin Wei hurriedly grabbed Rarity: “It’s raining heavily outside, I’ll go out later.”
Rarity turned her head, walked through the door and window of the second bedroom, saw the wind and rain outside, said “Okay”, and crouched back.
Lin Wei had enough rest, she handed the flower to Rarity, pushed the flower pot to the wall, got up and said to the two children, “Mom is going to take a bath, you guys go back to the room to rest for a while, don’t run around, you know?”
“Got it! It’s raining so hard outside, so we won’t run around.” Mingming didn’t think he was stupid, but his mother was really worrying, “Go take a shower, don’t worry about us!” After speaking, he took his brother back to the room .
Lin Wei shook her head helplessly, went back to the house to find a skirt, and went downstairs to take a shower.
The faucet was outside, and there was no water tank in the bathroom to store cold water, so Lin Wei was talking about taking a shower, but in fact she just wiped her body with hot water. Of course, the hair cannot be washed, so I can only dry it with a towel as much as possible, and then take a good bath when the rain stops.
Although it was just scrubbing, after changing into dry clothes, Lin Wei felt much more comfortable on her body than before, and her mood also improved a lot.
But her good mood only lasted until noon. As time went on, the wind outside became stronger and stronger, and all the windows upstairs and downstairs were blown.
What was even more frightening was that because of the white fog on the windows and the wind and rain blocking the view, Lin Wei had no idea what was going on outside.
She and her two children seemed to be trapped in an island.
Lin Wei was in a low mood, and the two children were not much better. When it first rained, he was obviously still a little excited. He had never seen such heavy rain before, so he felt it was very novel.
But as time went by, the novelty gradually faded away. He nestled in Lin Wei’s arms and asked, “Mom, when will the rain stop?”
Lin Wei had heard people say before that it is possible for a typhoon to rain for a few days, and she was not sure when the rain would stop. But she thought about it and said, “It’s been down all morning, and it should be about to stop. Would you like to sleep with your brother? Maybe the rain will stop when you wake up.”
It was really boring to sit in the room, and it was obvious that I was a little sleepy, so I yawned and said, “Well, mother, do you want to sleep together?”
Lin Wei snorted and said, “You go to bed first, and mom will sleep later.”
Mingming snorted, his body slipped, and he quickly lay down and fell asleep.
However, Lin Wei couldn’t sleep. After sitting for a while, she rolled over and got out of bed. She walked to the window again, looked at the foggy window, and fell into thinking.
When the typhoon first came, she was indeed a little scared, especially when she found out that she couldn’t see what was going on outside, she was very uncertain.
But now, Lin Wei gradually calmed down, looking at the window glass that vibrated in front of her, but did not shatter.
The location of each military port is carefully selected, and the troops will also have measures to deal with typhoons. If the typhoon makes landfall here, they will definitely evacuate the crowd urgently.
For example, this time, I just told everyone that there was a typhoon in advance and told everyone not to go out, which means that the typhoon did not land here. Therefore, although it is windy and rainy outside, as long as you hide in the house, you will be fine.
Therefore, in the original book, she must not have died because of a typhoon accident.
She would die, either because of something, she went out in the torrential rain, or she bumped into it at home.
It’s easy for the former to escape, she just needs to stay at home as honest as she is today. In the latter case, she can only be careful and careful, it’s really not good, the big deal is that she prepares food and drinks in advance, and she lies in bed that day and doesn’t go anywhere!
You won’t be choked to death by drinking water, will you?
It was still windy and rainy outside, but Lin Wei finally became enlightened after thinking about some things.
