The next day, the rain did not abate in the slightest, and the sky seemed to freeze at the time of dawn.

"Mother, I checked the ditch again, and it wasn't blocked." Li Cong took off the coat and hat on his body, shook off the rain on the hat, and said.

"Got it, you go and change your clothes first." Ho said.

Yesterday there was such a sudden rain, Yang Liu and Li Qiang were lying on the kang and couldn't get up, Li Cong occasionally coughed twice, but it was no big deal, and He didn't dare to relax his vigilance at all. Two adults have already fallen in the family, and if Li Cong falls again, she will look good in this house.

"Mother, I want to go to town to buy some medicine." Li Cong stood still and said: "I have to pull two more pieces of oilcloth back, I don't know how long it will rain again, our house is really leaking, and we didn't dare to sleep last night." ”

After sitting for half a night, he added some straw this morning to keep it from leaking, but who knows how long it will last. He hurried to the town, so as not to sit for half the night tonight, and it would still be quite cold at night.

"Go ahead." He Shi listened to the constant coughing sound, and his heart was also a little irritable. Nodding his head, he instructed: "Be careful on the road, if you can catch a car, take a ride, don't save a few dollars." ”

"I know, mother." Li Cong answered, and asked the rest of the family if there was anything to buy, and he brought it back.

If he needed it, he said what he wanted to bring, and gave the money to Li Cong, but he pushed it back.

Yu's room, because it was renovated some time ago when she cut the dog's room, didn't leak rain, but she hadn't been to town for a few days. He didn't do anything on a rainy day, and he didn't work hard. The porridge and pickles are very bland in the stomach. Under the banner of being good for the dog's eggs, he told him to cut a few catties of meat and come back.

"It's better to be fat." She added.

Just thinking about buying, why don't you see the money? Can't you think about anything else in a day besides eating? He Shi asked angrily: "Don't give you a word or something?" ”

"Yes, yes." Yu nodded hurriedly, "Let's let the fifth child change his clothes." ”

Li Cong quickly changed his clothes, and asked Xiao He to take care of Yang Liu, and then walked into the rain curtain wearing a hat.

***

Wang Yuan sat on the big kang near the window with his hair scattered, staring blankly at the heavy rain outside. With such heavy rain, it was naturally impossible to attend classes. He had slept well. The rain was so rapid that the water in the dam could not be drained out, and it had accumulated about an inch of water. A drop of rain ripples in a circle, a rain, the water in the entire courtyard and dam are turbulent.

Jade walked in with the boiling water that naturally dried to the right temperature, and was just about to open her mouth to let Wang Yuan freshen up, when she saw a drop of water falling.

"Young Master, be careful." She was busy.

It's just a small drop of water. It's the one who loves cleanliness the most.

I didn't see how Wang Yuan panicked, and the next moment, a cyan oil-paper umbrella had been opened, which could block the drop of water.

Smack. Water droplets fall onto the surface of the umbrella and fall apart.

Jade breathed a sigh of relief, and when she walked near Wang Yuan, she looked up at the place where the rain was leaking just now. Sure enough, another drop of water was forming.

It's leaking.

The house that Lao Li is pointing them out. The pattern is not bad, it is an old showman who has lived. After moving in, some villagers came to renovate it. Probably because you didn't turn it carefully, or because you were too old, it still leaked under the continuous impact of such a heavy rainstorm. Jade also understands that in a place like Lijiatun, the requirements can't be too high.

"Say, why on earth did I come here to suffer this sin?" Wang Yuan didn't look back at Jade and muttered.

The action of Jade twisting the handkerchief was paused.

Now I know that I have come to find sin. I have already persuaded you, casually talking about a family affair, the woman is already married, what are you doing here?

"Let's go back, young master, it's not worth it." Jade handed the veil to Wang Yuan.

The key is not a question of worthiness now, how can anyone trample on his face at will?

"This place can't be stayed." Wang Yuan took the handkerchief and said.

Think... Figured it out, this figured it out? Before the surprise on Jade's face could bloom, the water droplets that had been gaining momentum were rolling and dripping.

It's cold. She shuddered.

"Bundle your hair." Wang Yuan threw the used sub back and stood up.

The young master is still as resolute as ever.

Jade nodded: "Yes." ”

The road was muddy, and there was no one or carriage on the way, and the master and servant made it to the town with difficulty. Jade felt that this was the most worthwhile journey, and the more difficult it was, the more confident the young master would be to leave here.

"Find a place to stay first." Wang Yuan said. The wetness on his body made him feel very uncomfortable, but after only a day of rain, he felt as if he was moldy, and everything was strange.

Jade naturally fully agrees with this time. The two lived in Yunkelou, and she went out to help Wang Yuan buy clothes. When they left, they only took silver tickets, and did not take any clothes, and when the rain stopped, they were afraid that they would rush to the capital without stopping. Although the clothes here are not very good, you have to buy two or three sets of clothes, which is comfortable, and you can't pay too much attention to going out.

When she looked at the clothes in the ready-to-wear store, she felt a little remorseful, she knew that she should bring a few sets of Wang Yuan's clothes, these clothes were too low-grade for the young master. But now I have no choice, so I have to settle.

"This, this, and that." The jadeite pointed one by one.

Big customers, the store is delighted, and when they see the other party casually draw out a silver ticket, they will serve more attentively. "I see that when Madame came, there was no hired car, and it was not convenient to take so many things, so it happened that there was a carriage in the shop, so I would give Madame a ride."

Jade nodded, took a set of selected dresses and went to the back to change.

The man held an umbrella and sent Jade into the carriage. Jade sat in the carriage and specially instructed the carriage to slip around the Yang Mansion, and saw that the gate of the Yang Mansion was closed, and the wind and rain were beating the two lanterns in front of the gate. She put down the sedan curtain and said, "Let's go, go to the Yunke Building." ”

It's better to miss each other than to see each other. Zhang Wenshan had long wanted her to stay away, so why did he run to ask for his own interest? Anyway, the young master is ready to stop and go back to the capital. I don't think I'm likely to have a chance to come back...... Forget it, in fact, what's the difference between seeing and not seeing? Bores him, and only adds to his own troubles.

In Yang's mansion, Zhang Wenshan finally sat down to take a breath at this time.

In the ten years in Basin Town, he had never seen such a heavy rain, and in a panic, he remembered to ask his subordinates to see if there was any rain leakage on the roofs everywhere, and if there was rain leakage, he should quickly plug it, otherwise he would damage the furniture inside, and he, the big housekeeper, would not escape his responsibility. Check it out. There are really a few places, but fortunately, they were found in time and the broken tiles were replaced, so they didn't cause disasters.

Thankfully, it's a good thing! He let out a long breath, then picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table, and before he could drink it, he put it down again, and stood up suddenly, his face changed greatly. "Yes."

A blue brick and tiled house like Yang's Mansion will leak rain, so how can the mud thatched house where Yang Liu lives be better? Now I can't live there, and people still talk about it.

"Hurry up, prepare some oilcloth, ingredients and firewood. That's right, medicine, medicine for wind and cold. He commanded in a loud voice.

He is a person who is used to being a big housekeeper. Only he would think so carefully in a short period of time, the Li family is not short of firewood and vegetables. It's not that there isn't one at home. It's just put in the backyard, and it won't burn when it rains. They had to choose some to stand under the corner. The water is empty, and some are left to bake in the stove while cooking. The leaves in the vegetable garden were damaged a lot, so they had to be replanted after the heavy rain. It's okay to say that it's okay to be hungry for one or two meals, the key is that there are still two pigs at home, and they don't care if it's raining or not, and if you can't eat enough, you'll turn the sky upside down. The rain fell so suddenly, and the Li family didn't have time to get the pigweed, seeing that tomorrow's pig food would not be settled.

He pulled his trouser legs high, wore a coat and a hat, and said to Yu: "Follow me to get pigweed." ”

"Mother, it's not me on duty today." Yu was clearly unwilling. In this kind of weather, you will feel cold when you stand outside for a while, let alone step into the mud with your bare feet and have to get the watery pigweed. She doesn't want to, she just doesn't want to. Besides, she is not on duty, why should she go?

"You didn't cut pigweed when you were on duty yesterday, and your sister-in-law made breakfast for you." He was not at home yesterday, which does not mean that he does not know.

"That was yesterday, and besides, the pig wasn't hungry today. Just let my sister-in-law help me once, and I will pay her back in the future. Yu said: "My little day is coming, and my body is not cool, and I can't touch the cold." ”

Xiuxiu is turning over the clothes on the bamboo cage covered by the brazier, on a rainy day, it is not easy to dry the clothes, and when you go out, the clothes will be wet, and you will bake them on it, and you will wear them. It's better to smell smoke than to wear it wet. She tilted her head and interjected, "Mother, I'll go with you, the second sister-in-law will come and help me watch the fire." ”

"You girl's family, why are you getting so wet?" He said with a dark face. She married so many daughters-in-law, and she actually asked her daughters to go out in the rain, so why marry these women?

"yes." Yu also disagreed, "It's not who I'm targeting, whoever should go is who goes, otherwise everyone will have something to say in the future." ”

He Shi was silent, she didn't know this truth, then Li Qiang was sick and lying on the kang, and Wen still had three children to take care of, how could she open this mouth? Calling Yu was also a decision she made after thinking about it for a long time.

Wen naturally knew that she was on duty today, but she was not stupid, who would want to brave such a heavy rain to get pigweed? Soaked in the rain, her whole body was uncomfortable, listening to the conversation between He and Yu under the corridor, she also pretended to be deaf and dumb, anyway, He didn't open her mouth to let her go, and she didn't have to jump out in such a hurry to earn a watch. And He Shi is not hesitating, which shows that she is still inclined not to let her go.

"Mother, what are you hesitating about?" Yu whispered: "I know that the third child also suffered from the cold, and the Wen family also has three children, where can they run on a rainy day?" Besides, we adults are at home, and we can't take care of a few children? Don't say that you want to take care of the third child, the fifth daughter-in-law is also sick and can't get up, why don't you see the fifth child guarding every step? What's the use of guarding? ”

He sighed, she always wanted to pay attention to fairness between brothers, and the most basic requirement for fairness was to abide by the rules. She wanted to follow the rules, but when there was a slight influence, she hesitated, took the idea for them, and made a decision. She has been in charge of the family for so many years, but she can't see it as clearly as Yu.

Sure enough, it's old.

"Go and get Wen out of here." Ho said.

Wen is not a fool, he must know that He changed his mind and she helped in it. Anyway, they all offended people, and it wasn't bad for such a thing, so Yu responded happily.

As soon as the words came, there was no accident that she was stabbed by Wen's many eyes, but so what, she would not lose a piece of meat. Dead friends don't die poor Dao, that's what you should do, she's just helping the He family.

Yu Shi went back to the house, but he still put his ear on the door panel to pay attention to the conversation of the two, although he didn't hear it very really, but when she heard the courtyard door ringing, when she opened the door to see, He and Wen were no longer in sight.

How did it turn out, didn't you go yet? Yu snorted lightly, and pushed the door of the dog's room open a crack, seeing that the dogan was still holding the book and reading, he was comforted and distressed, and hurriedly opened the door, and said distressedly: "It's too dark, why don't you light the lamp, what should I do if I see my eyes bad?" As he spoke, he picked up the fire on the side and blew out the candle.

"Mother, it's out of the way." Goudan put down the book and said, "Mother, help me prepare a stove." "It's cold when it's raining, and it's even colder when sitting without exercise, and it's good to wear more clothes on your body, but your feet are freezing and you don't feel conscious.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Yu took the dog's hand and touched it, "It's cold, why don't you hide in the bed?" ”

He also wanted to, but as soon as he shrunk into the quilt, it was so comfortable that he fell asleep, how could he still read?

Yu didn't say much, and went out to find the stove. The so-called stove in the dog's mouth is nothing more than a small basket made of bamboo, with a crockpot lid at the bottom. Xiuxiu is baking clothes, and this fire is quite easy to make.

Hearing that this fire is for dog eggs, Xiuxiu scooped another wooden scoop of firewood and charcoal, and said, "Second sister-in-law, this smoke is burning, and it is just right for dog eggs." ”

"Hao Xiuxiu, sister-in-law didn't hurt you in vain." Yu smiled and wanted to pinch Xiuxiu's face.

"Don't, sister-in-law, your soot has stained my face, and I have to work hard to wash it." Xiuxiu put aside her face to avoid, "How cold is the water on your face." ”

"The stinky girl still dares to dislike it."

"Who said I'm good?" Xiuxiu pouted.

Yu was about to stretch out his hand, when he heard the courtyard door pop and someone kicked it open.

"Is there anybody? Let's help! (To be continued......)
