Huo Xuan looked at Xie Mingzhu's back, his eyes darkened, and his breathing became disordered.

Rubbing his hands, he warmed his slightly cool hands that had just touched the cold water, and then picked up the ointment, squeezed out some, and applied it to Xie Mingzhu.

Before she could touch her skin, her back straightened suddenly.

Huo Qian paused, turned his head to look at her, and asked softly, "It hurts?" ”

Xie Mingzhu was a little embarrassed and shook his head: "It doesn't hurt." ”

Huo Xuan continued his movements.

"I see that the rain is a little light at this time, and I will put away the things next door first, and then go to the team to find the captain to see if I can arrange someone to repair this roof." Huo Xuan continued.

Xie Mingzhu replied softly.

Huo moved quickly, but applied the ointment very gently, and then turned around and exhaled deeply.

Not daring to look at Xie Mingzhu again, he put away the ointment, and then said, "I'll go and clean up the things next door." ”

Xie Mingzhu silently tidied up his clothes and let out a light "um".

Soon, Huo Xuan went to the next room.

After a while, she got up and went to the next room.

Most of the roof had fallen, the rain was still falling, and the sheets on the bed were already soaked.

Huo Xuan was putting away the wet mattress and waiting for the rain to stop before taking it out to blow it.

There was also the other half of the room that hadn't rained, so Huo Xuan moved the table over there and put the mattress on it.

Xie Mingzhu was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by him: "You stand there first, be careful that you get wet." ”

Hearing his words, Xie Mingzhu didn't step forward again.

In addition to the sheets and bedding, the rest was a change of clothes that Xie Mingzhu gave him, but they were all already wet.

"When the rain stops in a while, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy two more." Xie Mingzhu said softly.

Huo Xuan nodded in response.

When the house was almost cleaned up, the rain stopped.

Huo Xuan glanced outside, and then said, "I'll go find the captain in the team now." ”

After saying this, he went out.

After a while, he returned.

Looking at the expression on his face, you can know that he must have hit a wall.

"What's wrong? The brigade said that it would not be repaired? Xie Mingzhu asked.

Huo Xuan nodded: "That's pretty much it, the captain said that it's almost summer harvest now, and the team is busy harvesting wheat, so they can't spare manpower to repair this house." ”

Actually, to put it bluntly, I just don't want to repair.

Huo Xuan is no longer regarded as a rural educated youth, and his household registration has long since moved back to the city, and he is not a collective household of the brigade. As soon as Xie Mingzhu left, the dormitory of the educated youth was idle, so why did the brigade bother to pay for the repair of this house?

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and muttered for a moment, then whispered: "Anyway, we won't be able to stay for a few days, so you will sleep in my room for the next two days." ”

The latter sentence is said quietly.

Huo Xuan coughed lightly twice, and then shook his head: "There was no way to do it last night, if it was seen by others, it would not be good for your reputation." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the room with the roof broken again, and continued, "I'll drag the bed out and dry it outside, so I can sleep at night." ”

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and didn't speak, only nodded slightly.

Huo Xuan glanced at her sideways and said, "Did you change your clothes yesterday, bring them and I'll wash them for you." ”

"Huh?"

Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and waved his hand and said, "This...... No...... No, I'll wash it myself. ”

Not to mention the close-fitting clothes inside, even the outer shirt, she can't let Huo Xuan wash it for her.

Without waiting for Huo Xuan to say anything, she quickly turned around and returned to her room, for fear that Huo Xuan would really come and take away her clothes and wash them.

Huo Xuan looked at her back as if she was fleeing, but he didn't catch up again.

After lunch, the sun came out outside.

Huo Xuan saw that the sky was very good, so he prepared to go to the commune.

Go buy two suitable changes of clothes and come back and go buy some groceries.

Xie Mingzhu was originally going to go with him.

Huo Xuan saw that it was muddy outside, and said to her: "It has just rained overnight, and the road outside is designated as muddy. ”

Xie Mingzhu thought about it, there are no asphalt roads in the countryside, there are only muddy land, and it rained all night, and the ground is all muddy water, so it's better not to go.

Just when she was about to say no, Huo Xuan changed her mind again: "It's okay to go out for a walk together, take the stone road on the side of Chenjiazhuang, there shouldn't be so much muddy water." ”

Xie Mingzhu glanced at him and agreed.

took his small cloth bag, locked the door, and went out with Huo Xuan.

The road in the village is also a dirt road, and as soon as he went out, Huo Xuan let Xie Mingzhu sit on the back seat of the bicycle.

Xie Mingzhu also deliberately changed into a pair of rain boots before going out, so that they would be easy to wash when he came back.

It had just rained heavily outside, and the villagers had not worked in the fields, so they all gathered at the entrance of the village to chat and gossip.

When he saw the two of them coming out, he greeted him with a smile: "Xie Zhiqing, it's only been raining heavily, it's hard to walk outside, where are you going?" Going out into the street with your brother again? ”

Everyone has always thought that Huo Xuan is Xie Mingzhu's brother, which is also the reason why the two of them live in Zhiqing Point and no one gossip.

Xie Mingzhu also responded with a smile.

When he got out of the village, Huo Xuan drove Xie Mingzhu around from behind Chenjiazhuang.

Although it is far away, the road is relatively easy to walk.

Half an hour later, the two came to the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperatives sell ready-to-wear clothes, so Huo Xuan directly took two sets of white shirts and black pants.

Turning his head to look at Xie Mingzhu, he asked again, "You also buy two clothes?" ”

Xie Mingzhu shook his head: "I have a lot of clothes." ”

Huo Xuan didn't care about her words, his eyes turned around the clothes, and finally stopped at a very bright orange floral dress.

Now the times are different from previous years, not to mention before, even the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside in the first two years will not see such bright and dazzling skirts.

"Does this dress look good?" Huo Xuan looked back at Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu followed his gaze and nodded: "Good-looking." ”

"Do you want to try it?"

Xie Mingzhu shook his head again: "I really have a lot of clothes, don't waste money." ”

Huo Xuan insisted: "I didn't buy what you have, I want to buy it for you." ”

Seeing that he insisted, Xie Mingzhu nodded.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan immediately laughed and said to the salesman: "Comrade, please take down that skirt and try it." ”

The salesperson was an eldest sister in her thirties, first looked at him, then at Xie Mingzhu, and said loudly: "This dress is not cheap, I will give it to you if you buy it!" ”
