Chapter 62: Heavy Rain?
The two of them said a word, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter, as if they were not there, and they were intimate as if no one was around.
When she was with him, she had never spoken so softly with Zhou Lin as she did today, and between her and him, she either quarreled or acted, otherwise the two of them broke up unhappily without saying a word.
"Hey, I said, why are you so weird-tempered, I haven't even eaten a few bites of this bread!"
Zhou Lin felt that Gu Jingcheng was inexplicable, but he was afraid that he would leave him alone if he went away, so he immediately called Gu Ruotong and asked her to pack up all the uneaten food on the table and take it away.
After delaying for so long, when Zhou Lin ran out to catch up with Gu Jingcheng, they were only one street away from the academy.
"I have something I want to ask you, I wonder if you can tell your eldest brother tomorrow.
Let him lead more of his people to patrol and patrol here, and there are many academy students eating here.
In order to prevent the gangsters in the city from making trouble, they were told to be more attentive when patrolling. ”
After coming out and blowing a cold wind, Gu Jingcheng felt that he was much more sober than just now.
The depression in his heart dissipated, and he apologized to Zhou Lindao.
"Fang Cai is a little ugly for me to speak, I hope you will bear with me."
"What's this?"
Zhou Lin shook his head and didn't take this matter to heart at all, "Between you and my brothers, if you say these words, you will be divided, and I also know that you are worried about your sister-in-law and two children." ”
In fact, he rarely saw Gu Jingcheng care about his relatives, and whenever the two of them talked about family affairs in the past, he was mostly silent.
Not now, when he would take him to eat in the same place where the people of his house worked.
"I really envy your two nieces, with your uncle who cares about them so much, we have known each other for so long, but you have never cared about me."
Zhou Lin couldn't help but make some accusations against Gu Jingcheng: "In the academy, we are best friends. ”
"If you envy my niece, it just so happens that my sister-in-law has always wanted to have a son, if you don't mind, you can give birth to her belly, so I will definitely treat you better than those two nieces."
Gu Jingcheng patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder: "It's just that, you and I can't be classmates." ”
"I really thank you."
Zhou Lin rolled his eyes.
With the care of Brother Zhou Lin, Gu Jingcheng never went to the shop again.
Su Xiaomu didn't pay attention to whether he was here or not, and in July, the weather became hotter and hotter.
She stood at the entrance of the academy and waited for the students to come and get the ice powder, and it was noon, which was the hottest time of the day.
The sultry summer breeze blew through the ends of her hair, and the heat and humidity swept together, and the air was mixed with the viscous feeling of impending rain.
The hammer head of the big tree at the entrance of the academy was scattered, and the leaves hung as if they had been drained by the scorching heat.
This is true for several days of the year, looking up at the sky, there are dark clouds on one side and the sun shining on the other.
When she goes out every day, she worries that the road will be difficult to walk in the rain, and on the other hand, she worries that the weather is too hot and the sun makes people dizzy.
But the ice powder business was good, and she was reluctant to cut off her money because she was afraid of the heat, so she persevered for a few more days, until one day when she was about to go out, a downpour fell.
The raindrops fell the size of soybeans and smashed on the ground, causing tiny pits to appear in the mud one after another.
The rain continued for a day, and the rain did not decrease until the evening.
"If it goes down like this, the water in the river will still rise."
Li stood under the eaves and watched the heavy rain, her face was full of worry that could not be dissolved.
"I'm afraid this year's harvest won't be too good, and if the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, I'm afraid the crops in the fields won't be able to hold on."
"Drought death, waterlogging death, natural and man-made disasters, the most bitter is us farmers."
Old Man Gu sat by the door, the cigarette gun in his hand knocked on the ground again and again, and the cigarette ash inside fell out and touched the water, instantly turning into a muddy puddle.
But these are their troubles, and Su Xiaomu doesn't feel much.
After all, she doesn't have to go to the shop when it rains, she can stay at home and rest.
She gets up early every day and is greedy for darkness, and she can't stay up for a few days.
"Who's to say it's not, but fortunately, our family now lives on more than just the crops in the fields."
Li Shi sighed a lot, and she moved her gaze to Su Xiaomu, which made her instantly feel like she was on her back.
Su Xiaomu turned around and grabbed her arm and whispered softly, pretending to be reassuring: "Yes, now that my sister-in-law and I are doing business outside, our family just doesn't farm, and the money we earn is enough for the family to live." ”
"Yes, fortunately there is Xiaomu you, otherwise after this heavy rain, our family would not know what to do."
The three of them stood under the eaves and watched the heavy rain in front of them, and for the first time, Li and Old Man Gu did not show their frightened eyes.
It rained heavily all night, and the second day was originally the day when Gu Jingcheng Xiumu came back, but the Gu family waited from early morning to dusk, and they never saw him come back.
They weren't worried, after all, it was raining so heavily that the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was unclear that he wouldn't go home this time, or that he wanted to wait for the rain to be lighter before going home.
The family didn't take this matter to heart, and Chen stewed pork ribs generously when cooking at night.
She happily explained to the Li family, saying that she stewed pork ribs to satisfy the family's cravings, not to itch her own mouth.
It was also the opportunity of this rain that Xianggong and eldest brother could rest at home for a few days.
I see that the two of you have been tired and lost a lot of weight recently, but you have to make up for it, otherwise how will you get the autumn harvest? ”
Chan pushed the clay pot containing the ribs in front of the men.
"That is, now that the year is good, I can say that I can take the opportunity of the rain to rest and rest, and you don't have to dry the pestle, you can eat the meat when you make it, and you can't waste it."
Li moved the chopsticks in his hand and sandwiched a piece of pork ribs for each of the children in the family.
Gu Ruotong and Gu Ruonan have both.
She is an eccentric elder, but all her hearts are biased towards Gu Jingcheng, and she almost treats everyone else in the family equally.
After eating, Su Xiaomu took Gu Ruotong to learn to settle accounts, and it just so happened that she was free in the past two days, and she could teach her some more important things.
But before the two of them could enter the house, there was a flurry of footsteps outside their courtyard, accompanied by nervous shouts from several men.
"Old Gu! Don't sit at home, the mountain on the east side of the village has collapsed, and your home Jingcheng seems to be inside! ”
The men who entered the courtyard were all fresh-faced, and they came in the heavy rain, and they were all drenched.
There was a nervous look on every face, and their hands were shaking with hoes in their hands.
And after Li Shi heard that Gu Jingcheng might have been buried by the collapsed rocks, her face turned white, and for a moment she only felt that her eyes were full of stars, and the sky was spinning.
Everyone and everything she saw was circling around her, her consciousness became more and more blurred, her mouth opened, she didn't spit out a word, and she fell to the ground with a bang!
