This is the first time Chen Wen has used a brush to draw a design draft, although it is not difficult to draw, but the paper is not big, and it feels very fragile, but fortunately, it can be used on both sides, and Chen Wen has been very careful.

It's probably not difficult to draw a pattern, but it's the pattern, because the ink is pure black, and the colors of the pattern she envisioned are diverse.

Sister Shuhua said that she wanted to be tied to the lotus, and the lotus flower was not difficult to draw, but she had to arrange other patterns that matched it, and it consumed a lot of Chen Wen's brain cells.

I was so busy with work, and before I knew it, the sky was getting dark.

Chen Wen looked up, and was illuminated by the candle flame, only to realize that her grandmother had lit a candle for her that she had been reluctant to light all along, and the candle was only half cut off, and a lot of wax oil had flowed.

The candle stands in a small dish, and after it burns, all the wax oil flows into the dish, and when the candle is gone, make a wick for the wax oil, and it can continue to burn.

Chen Wen's eyes unblinkingly watched the candle flame melt little by little, and after a long time, he only felt that his eyes were sour and unbearable, so he blinked vigorously, but fortunately, it was relieved a lot.

Li Suniang saw that she no longer used her pen, and after helping her put everything away, she persuaded her: "Let's paint again tomorrow, don't hurt your eyes." ”

Chen Wen nodded, she had this intention. So he pouted and blew out the candle and tried to put it away, but the back of his hand was dripping with wax oil, and it was still a little hot.

After a while, it solidified, adhering to the concept that candles are expensive and can't afford them, Chen Wen took off the wax oil on the back of his hand, put it in the dishes, and put it back on the cabinet, not wasting it at all.

After doing this, Chen Wen still laughed secretly. I didn't expect that I would have this day, not to mention the bright headlights, I could only occasionally light candles, and I was reluctant to waste a drop of wax oil after lighting the candles.

Going outside to pour out the washing water in the dark, Chen Wen dared to guarantee that it must be less than eight o'clock now, but looking around, none of the households were lit with lights, and everything was quiet.

Chen Wen also hurried back to the house, locked the door, and lay on the bed, emptying his head and letting himself fall asleep.

Soon fell asleep. Well, the quality of her sleep is getting better and better.

Living like this, not only can he breathe fresh air, but he is also troubled by dust, and he goes to bed early and gets up early every day.

The next day, Chen Wen was woken up by the sound of rain. Before dawn, the rain began to pour down and fall, and by the time the day dawned, it began to fall even more.

When it rains, even in a daze, Chen Wen can smell a smell of earth.

Chen Wen sat up and rubbed his eyes, yawned, stretched, got dressed, opened the door and went out, and could see his grandmother at a glance.

Grandma got up earlier than she did, and was sitting on the doorframe, picking wild vegetables.

Chen Wen frowned and looked out to see that there were two wooden basins and a small water tank in the courtyard, which were used to collect rainwater.

This was the first time she had come to this world to meet a rainy day, because of the rain, the sky was darker than usual, and it seemed to be a long time coming.

Li Suniang raised her head and said to her, "Wash your face and have breakfast." ”

"Hmm."

Chen Wen bit off the willow branch, dipped it in some salt and brushed her teeth, spit out a mouthful of flocculent when rinsing her mouth with water, and sighed secretly, she has to be like this tomorrow, she is used to it.

I touched the kettle on the stove again, it was still warm, just enough to wash my face.

After washing, I drank another bowl of porridge, and my stomach was full. After washing the pots and dishes, he sat idly on the door frame and helped his grandmother pick wild vegetables together.

After sorting, the sky was much brighter again, but the rain still didn't stop, and it was getting heavier and heavier.

Grandma said, "It's going to start getting hot." ”

In the summer, Chen Wen was silent. She doesn't like cold winters, but she doesn't like summers more than cold ones, even though she's heat-tolerant.

And this time should be ...... There's no such thing as short sleeves, right?

The rain kept falling, crackling and lapping on the eaves.

In this way, listening to the sound of the rain, Chen Wen was in an unhappy mood since the morning, sitting and sketching until noon, after eating and painting, he had a sense of accomplishment, but he couldn't make his mood happy.

Then, something even worse happened.

Aunt Yuzhen was wearing a lily robe, her feet were full of muddy water, and she shouted loudly through the fence of their house: "Aunt Li, Chen Wen, the water in the field is about to overflow." ”

Chen Wen heard a little inexplicable, at this time, the rice is in the heading stage, and when she needs water, she has to irrigate the rice every time she goes to the ground...... Isn't it just right now that it's raining?

Grandma slapped her leg suddenly, "It's almost a big problem." ”

Then he took off the coat hanging on the wall, took one to Chen Wen, looked at her blank look, and said to her: "It's not good if there is a lot of rain, we haven't dug drainage ditches in our rice fields, I'm afraid of drowning." ”

As soon as he heard that the situation was urgent, Chen Wen hurriedly put on his robe, took farm tools, and went to the field with his grandmother.

The village is full of dirt roads, and it is fine to do it on a sunny day, but on a rainy day, when you step on it, your shoes are full of mud.

Afraid that the shoes would be difficult to wash if they were stained with mud, grandma took off her shoes by herself, and asked Chen Wen to take off her shoes and go barefoot, and Chen Wen obediently did so.

When the two walked to the ridge, her grandmother reminded her, "Walk slowly and be careful of falling." ”

Chen Wen promised to do well, because it was the first time to walk on such a slippery path, and he walked very slowly.

However, even if she walked slowly, but in the next second, she was covered by the rain and couldn't see the road clearly, Chen Wen didn't know which hard stone she was knocking on, and she gasped in pain, and subconsciously jumped in small steps.

Woe didn't go alone, she slipped and fell.

Falling backwards, his head was blank, he sat down suddenly, his tail vertebrae were hurting, and Chen Wen, who was in pain, grinned and grabbed a hand of mud.

"Are you alright?"

Grandma wanted to come over to help her, but Chen Wen endured the pain and refused: "It's okay, it's okay, don't come over." ”

After relieving for a while, it didn't hurt too much, so Chen Wen used the farm tools in his hand to stand up.

After standing up, Chen Wen walked more carefully, and he could be regarded as walking into his own field.

I don't know if it's because I drank too much water, or if it was smashed by the rain, anyway, the rice that was going to be tasseled was sluggish.

Grandma dug a drainage ditch with a hoe, and Chen Wen learned to dig one side by one, and it was dug after a while.

Chen Wen picked up the last bent rice and touched its leaves.

He muttered in a low voice: "I take care of you diligently, you can't just go through a small hardship and stop growing rice." ”

After speaking, Chen Wen followed his grandmother back.

On the way home, her grandmother asked her, "Does that fall hurt?" ”

At first, grandma didn't ask, Chen Wen didn't feel anything, but now when grandma asked, Chen Wen felt that the foot that had hit the stone just now was very painful, but the foot was wrapped in mud and couldn't see anything.

It wasn't until he went back to take a shower and rinse off the mud on his feet that Chen Wen saw that his toes were bleeding, and they looked a little swollen, and his fingernails were full of bruises.

Tsk, what luck today.

Chen Wen pursed his lips, endured the pain, and covered the wound with a clean cloth.
