Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Zhao Baogen sat next to Gu Zhan, took a few deep puffs of his pipe, and squinted his eyes as he said, "I've been worried about the hidden dangers of this flood channel for several years. I never thought that this hidden danger would one day threaten us."

The weather was extremely stuffy at noon, and Zhao Baogen was 100% sure that what Gu Zhan said was correct. A heavy rainstorm was indeed brewing that day.

"How do you think the progress is?" Zhao Baogen stopped sighing and pointed at the drainage channel.

Gu Zhan said seriously, "If nothing unexpected happens, it will be completed by three in the afternoon."

"Well, almost." Zhao Baogen took a puff of his cigarette and said.

The next step is to ask everyone to go home and eliminate the risk factors in their homes. If there is a leak in the house, it should be repaired immediately.

Liu Xiaoxi and Huang Guihua went home together. When they reached a fork in the road, Huang Guihua called her daughter when Liu Xiaoxi was about to go home.

"Xiaoxi, you don't have to go back. You'll be alone at home, and you'll have to cook and send it to Gu Zhan. It's too much trouble. Besides, you've been tired all morning. Go home for dinner, and send your son-in-law's portion along with your dad, brother, and theirs."

Seeing her mother-in-law trying hard to persuade Liu Xiaoxi to come home for dinner, Wang Yuehong spoke up at the right time: "Yes, little sister, just go home for dinner. You are still pregnant. If you don't think about yourself, you should think more about the child, right?"

Under the persuasion of her mother and sister-in-law, Liu Xiaoxi gave up the idea of ​​going home to cook and send it to Gu Zhan, and instead followed her mother and sister-in-law back to her parents' home.

After the meal was ready, Huang Guihua took it to the drainage channel to deliver it, and Wang Yuehong invited Liu Xiaoxi and her son Liu Jianguo to have dinner.

A little after twelve o'clock, people on the drainage channel began to eat the food brought by their families.

In this era, everyone's family conditions are similar. Those with better financial conditions have thicker meals, while those with less labor and poor financial conditions have thinner meals, but they are all basically the same.

The men cheered each other up and joked with each other. After a full meal, they had enough energy to continue working.

As expected by Gu Zhan and Zhao Baogen, by three o'clock in the afternoon, the drainage channel had been completely cleared.

As the crowd dispersed, Zhao Baogen reminded everyone again: "If there is a leak in your house, please take advantage of the afternoon to fix it. Let's all show our solidarity and help each other fix it."

Finally, the work was done and everyone rushed home to repair the house, as they were afraid that the heavy rain would come and the weak house that had been passed down for two or three generations would collapse.

Liu Dawei and Gu Jun were walking together. Gu Jun was walking fast. Liu Dawei caught up with Gu Jun breathlessly and asked mysteriously, "Do you know who told the captain in advance that there would be heavy rain in the next few days?"

Looking at Liu Dawei's interested eyes, Gu Jun intuitively didn't want to know the answer to this question, but Liu Dawei didn't care what Gu Jun was thinking at the moment.

He continued to himself, "It's your cousin Gu Zhan. I heard that he told the director of the water conservancy station half a month ago that there would be heavy rain in the next few days."

Glancing at the expression of suppressed anger on Gu Jun's face, Liu Dawei continued, "He's truly amazing."

Gu Jun looked at Liu Dawei coldly and walked away quickly.

Liu Dawei glanced at Gu Jun's back with contempt. Gu Jun really thought that he was the only smart person in the world. Relying on his relationship with his friend, he repeatedly instigated him to bully Gu Zhan. If his family had not reminded him in time, he would have really been instigated to embarrass Gu Zhan.

People like Gu Jun, who treat others as guns, are they worthy of being friends?

He said this just now just to deliberately anger Gu Jun.

Gu Jun is so narrow-minded that he can't stand his cousin being better than him. He must be so angry that he almost dies now, right?

When Gu Jun returned to the Gu family, he saw that the door of the house where Gu Zhan used to live was open as soon as he entered the gate. It was like Gu Zhan's bottomless eyes, staring at him intently.

Gu Jun was furious. He walked to the door and pulled it hard. However, the already dilapidated wooden door did not close as he wished, but directly broke away from the door frame and hit Gu Jun behind him with a "clang".

Gu Jun was startled and turned around angrily. He stomped on the wooden door that fell to the ground several times before leaving angrily.

Zhao Hongmei looked at her abusive husband through the window, her heart trembling a few times, and she was glad that those kicks were not on herself.

After a while, Gu Mancang and Gu Dali also came back.

Gu Mancang glanced at the sky above him hesitantly and asked Gu Dali, "Dad, do you think it will rain today?"

Gu Dali was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "In recent years, it rarely rains at this time of year. If it does rain, it's usually just thunder with little rain."

"Dad, I think so too."

On their way back, the two heard everyone talking about how it was Gu Zhan who brought up this matter.

Gu Dali and Gu Mancang's first reaction was that it was impossible. How could Zhao Baogen fool around with a young man? But the fact was that Zhao Baogen was indeed fooled by a young man into doing so many things.

Gu Dali still retained a trace of rationality in his heart. At most, he was afraid that Gu Zhan's lies were too outrageous, and if the team investigated, it would involve other people in the Gu family.

But Gu Mancang was different. He had a hunch that this bastard Gu Zhan was just talking nonsense. What heavy rain? He hadn't seen what heavy rain looked like in recent years. How come it was suddenly going to rain heavily this year?

Not at all.

"Dad, are we going to repair this house or not?"

Although Gu Mancang had his own decision, he was still a little afraid, so he threw the question to Gu Dali.

"Let's take a look first!" Gu Dali sighed and walked into the house.

When Gu Zhan returned home, Liu Xiaoxi was already waiting for him.

After a morning of hard work, Liu Xiaoxi's face still looked a little red. Gu Zhan touched Liu Xiaoxi's face with concern and asked, "Are you tired?"

"It's not as tiring as you think."

"It's good that you're not tired!"

The air was already starting to feel damp.

Gu Zhan didn't have time to change his dirty clothes, and hurriedly moved the firewood piled in the yard into the built shed.

In this era, there was no unplanned coal, and firewood was almost the only option for cooking in every household. If the firewood got wet, he and Liu Xiaoxi would go hungry.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the heavy rain to come.

Gu Zhan was awake the whole time. He remembered that in his previous life, the rain started falling in the middle of the night. Everyone thought it was just an ordinary thunderstorm, but who knew that this rain would bring a devastating disaster to Shanghe Village.

At around midnight, with a loud thunder that resounded through the sky, raindrops as big as soybeans fell densely on the long-dried land.
