Chapter 295: Looking for Someone in the Rain
This rural person, most of them went to the field when they were not at home, and the village cadres turned around and went around the Gu family's field, but they didn't see anyone.
I asked a few people who were working in the fields next to them, and they all said that they had not seen anyone from the Gu family go down to the field today.
So where did this man go? The village cadres wondered in their hearts, but they couldn't find anyone, so they had to just give up.
This toss passed in half the morning.
When I went back to the village committee office, I thought I'd go back at noon later, no matter where I went, I had to come back for lunch.
On the other hand, Song Yuhua went to do something else after making the call, she also knew that the communication technology was too poor now, and the Gu family's parents were not necessarily at home, so she didn't sit by the phone and wait for the call back.
At noon, the scorching sun shone on the earth, and the extremely high temperature was not much different from the summer season.
The village cadres looked at the meal and set off for Gu's house again, but the door of Gu's house was still closed, but the neighbor next to him was eating in the house.
They were all acquaintances from the same village, and the village cadres went straight in to ask the people in the house where the Gu family had gone.
"The two of them, they left early in the morning, saying that they would go into the city to see their son and daughter-in-law, and let me help them look at the house in the morning."
The village cadres were stunned, and they actually went into the city? Then why did Song Yuhua call back to find them? Broken! I'm afraid these two didn't greet the juniors before entering the city!
Thinking of this, the village cadres didn't care about the villagers who were shouting for their dinner, and hurried to the office.
He strode extremely fast, and as soon as he arrived at the office, he took out Song Yuhua's phone and called there.
In the office of the garment factory, the landline on the desktop rang again and again, and then the room was empty.
Most of the people in this village, especially the elderly, have never been to the city, and I have heard that the city is full of buildings, and they all look similar, what if they get lost.
Thinking of this, the village cadres were really relieved, and pressed the replay button again, and they had to wait for the phone to be connected.
At the same time, Song Yuhua was standing at the door of the kitchen, so hot that he was holding a bamboo pu fan vigorously, praying in his heart for the rain to come quickly.
As the old saying goes, an autumn rain and a cold rain, and when it rains, the temperature drops.
I don't know if it was her inner prayer that worked, and it didn't take long for the sky to gradually darken, and black clouds gathered in the sky.
With a happy face, God really gave her face, if it was changed to ancient times, maybe she could still earn a national teacher, and she would ask for rain if she had nothing to do.
Song Yuhua thought wildly in his heart, this was Zhuang Qing coming over, looking at the sky, and frowning slightly, "It looks like it's going to rain." ”
"It's long overdue for rain, it's cool when it rains, by the way, did you bring an umbrella?" Song Yuhua asked.
Zhuang Qing shook her head at her, "No." ”
"Then you're miserable." Song Yuhua made no secret of his schadenfreude, "When the time comes, I will be drenched in soup as soon as I go out." ”
Zhuang Qing glanced at her, "I saw two umbrellas in the office, and I wasn't stupid and didn't know how to use them." ”
After speaking, he ignored the person next to him, turned around and walked into the kitchen to prepare to cook, Song Yuhua saw it and hurriedly followed.
The weather is hot, and the heat is even greater when the big guys are crowded together, Song Yuhua and Zhuang Qing are reluctant to squeeze together with everyone, so they stand next to them and wait for most of the people to eat first, and then they get together after watching the number of people gradually decrease.
After serving the meal, the two went back to the office, and as soon as they walked to the door, they heard the landline ringing inside clearly.
"Who is this, really good at picking time." Song Yuhua complained that few people would call people at the meal.
Picked up the phone and said politely: "Hey, hello, this is Meritus Garment Factory." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the person opposite hurriedly say, "Is it Song Yuhua?" ”
"yes, I am." Song Yuhua glanced down at the number, and then she knew who the person opposite was, and she was about to ask if the Gu family's parents were here and asked them to answer the phone.
Then I heard the person on the other side say quickly: "They entered the city early in the morning, saying that they were going to see their son and daughter-in-law, and now they are afraid that they are all about to arrive, so you should hurry up and pick them up at the station." ”
"What?" Song Yuhua was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrong, "They didn't tell us they were coming." ”
"That's why I'm worried, that Rongcheng is so big, they don't know where to find you."
Listening to the person on the other side didn't seem to be joking, Song Yuhua also began to worry, there were only two buses from his hometown to Rongcheng in the morning and noon, and the journey took more than four hours, if the two old people really set off in the morning, they should arrive at this time.
I really want to scold the other party a few words, "Why didn't you say it earlier", but she also knew that it was no wonder that people were okay with this.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Song Yuhua didn't care about the lunch on the table, dropped the sentence "I'll go out", and hurriedly walked out.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and layers of black clouds piled up together, as if they were about to crush the sky.
Song Yuhua rode a car through the street quickly, the whistling wind blowing through his ears, with a hint of coolness.
Suddenly, there was a thunderclap that rumbled through the sky, followed by another bolt of lightning, like a sharp sword about to split the black cloud in half.
I don't know what came from that family: "It's going to rain, hurry up and collect your clothes." ”
Immediately, the raindrops the size of beans fell down, first one by one, but soon they were connected into pieces, pressing on the roof, canopy, and ground crackling.
Pedestrians on the street were running quickly to both sides, looking for a place to hide from the rain, but Song Yuhua rode his bicycle faster and faster.
The clothes were soaking wet, and the rain was sliding down his forehead, clutching his eyelashes, blurring his vision.
Song Yuhua had to wipe his face in three or five minutes, wipe off the water beads on his eyelashes, and after more than ten minutes, finally, the bus stopped.
The rain came so suddenly that there were many people standing under the surrounding eaves. Song Yuhua parked the bicycle directly at the exit of the bus station, and then rushed inside.
I found a staff member at the station and inquired, and learned that the bus from my hometown had arrived at the station ten minutes earlier.
Song Yuhua was a little overwhelmed suddenly, the sea of people was vast and it was raining heavily, where should she go to find the two of them.
But this helplessness only lasted for a few seconds, and soon she thought that it was already raining when the car arrived at the station, and it was impossible for Gu's father and his wife to go far if they were not familiar with each other, and they must still be around here.
"Dad! Mother! I'm Yuhua, where are you? She stood in the street and shouted at the streets on both sides.
The rain was so loud that it drowned out her voice a lot, but she kept shouting along the street, and people in a certain range could still hear it.
Not far away, the door of a small shop was crowded with people sheltering from the rain, and Gu's father and Tao Wan were also among them, and the two rubbed their hands together, discussing what to do with such a heavy rain.
Suddenly, Tao Wan looked up and asked suspiciously, "Old man, listen, is it Yuhua's voice?" ”
Gu's father waved his hand, "Impossible, she didn't know that the two of us were in the city." ”
"That's just as well." Tao Wan nodded, but the voice kept ringing again, getting closer and closer, louder and louder?
Although she felt that it was impossible in her heart, Tao Wan couldn't help but stretch her neck to follow the prestige.
I saw a figure walking on the side of the street in the heavy rain, shouting loudly as he walked, as if looking for something.
"Old man, look, is that Yuhua?"
Father Gu looked over, stunned, rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then grabbed Tao Wan's hand suddenly, "It's really Yuhua, you heard it right." ”
"Ouch, it's raining so hard, why is she here?" Tao Wan frowned, her heart was sweet and angry, and she raised her hand and waved at Song Yuhua: "Yuhua, we are here, we are here!" ”
Song Yuhua heard the voice, looked for the direction, and soon saw the two of them, raised his steps and ran over, and squeezed under the small canopy with them.
Seeing the people, Song Yuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help complaining, "Dad, Mom, why don't you come and say it in advance, if I didn't call back to the village today, what are you two going to do." ”
Tao Wan smiled, and felt that she was too impulsive, "I didn't want to come and see you." After speaking, she glared at Father Gu next to her, and complained in a low voice, "I said to leave, you don't know how to stop me." ”
Gu's father, who was wronged, stared at him, a little unconvinced, "I don't know who wants his son and daughter-in-law to be unable to eat." ”
Tao Wan didn't speak, but just twisted it Gu's father's waist, and Gu's father immediately became honest.
