Wei asked, hoping his request would be supported by his old friends.Zh: "当然，我们都明白这块地对你的重要性。" 贾点头答应。En: "Of course, we all understand how important this land is to you," Jia nodded in agreement.Zh: 田也在一旁笑了说："是啊，而且我们还可以一边干活一边谈谈节日准备。"En: Tian also smiled and said, "Yes, and we can talk about festival preparations as we work."Zh: 于是，他们一同在稻田边忙碌起来，加固土堤，确保水不侵入田中。En: So, they busily worked on reinforcing the earth embankments, ensuring the water did not invade the fields.Zh: 夕阳渐渐西下，汗水浸湿了每个人的背，他们脸上却挂着振奋的微笑。En: As the sun gradually set in the west, sweat soaked each of their backs, but there was a vibrant smile on their faces.Zh: 到了七夕节当晚，一家人和朋友都聚在小空地上，彩灯在夜色中闪烁。En: By the evening of the Qixijie, family and friends gathered in a small open space, with colorful lights twinkling in the night.Zh: 空气中弥漫着稻田的气息和晚餐的香味，孩子们欢快地玩耍，围绕在大人身边。En: The air was filled with the scent of the rice fields and the aroma of dinner, while children played joyfully around the adults.Zh: 魏终于舒了一口气，心想着一切都如愿以偿。En: Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking everything had gone as planned.Zh: 然而，就在这时，天边突然乌云密布，雷声滚滚而来。En: However, just then, dark clouds suddenly gathered at the horizon, with thunder rumbling.Zh: "我们必须快速行动！" 魏对贾和田喊道。En: "We must act quickly!"
