This is the touching moment two brothers rushed to carry freshly harvested corn indoors as a storm approached their city.

The thoughtful children took matters into their own hands to help their grandparents by moving the cobs from the front yard amid a drizzle in Yibin, China.

CCTV footage shows the eldest brother dragging a pile of leaves and placing them under the eaves, while his sibling scooped up the crops using a container on August 6.

After securing the plants under cover, the older boy helped his younger brother gather the remaining corn scattered on the pavement and put them in the garage.

China frequently experiences heavy rainfall and storms, especially during the summer monsoon season, with southern and central regions often hit by flash floods and severe downpours.
