On the last day of the farm holiday, the sky was overcast at noon, and the clouds were thick and a light wind blew, and the sultry heat was mixed with moisture, which was a precursor to rain.

Jiang Xinyu and a group of members on the threshing field hurriedly packed all the crops drying on the ground into bags and transferred them to the warehouse.

When Jiang Xinyu arrived home, Chen Xiuyun was collecting clothes, and Jiang Yuzhu and Comrade Li Yuezhen did not come back.

A rain fell for half an hour, the air became cooler, the moderate rain turned to light rain, looking at the sky, it is estimated that it will not stop for a while and a half.

Chen Xiuyun finished collecting the clothes and said, "Let's spread a leek egg cake and eat it, and fry the field chicken that I caught yesterday." ”

Jiang Xinyu nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, I will take a shower and wash my hair after eating, and I will go to school, but I don't know if the rain can stop." ”

"I can't stop getting up early tomorrow morning." Chen Xiuyun took a straw hat to cut leeks in his own field.

Leek egg cake, in addition to the white noodles, the rest are home-made, no money, and fried chicken, that is, it costs some oil.

The whole world turned dark blue, Jiang Xinyu and Xiao Hei sat under the eaves together and watched the raindrops continue to fall, weaving a huge rain curtain, connecting the heaven and the earth together, making the surface muddy and eliminating the heat of the earth.

At this time, she felt comfortable sitting under the eaves, a rain made her go home early, no longer have to bend over to work, and she even hoped that whenever she came home from vacation, such a rain would come. But it's just thinking about it, if there is a rain from time to time, how can the members have a good harvest and eat?

The vegetables in the self-cultivated fields are growing very well this year, and some cucumbers will get old if they are not picked. Chen Xiuyun picked a lot of vegetables in a pot, and on the way back, she went to Widow Wang's house and left a lot of vegetables.

Chen Yi is not at home today, but the widow Wang is at home alone, and she is sitting under the eaves chopping pigweed.

The two women comrades talked for a while before Chen Xiuyun took the vegetables home.

Soon, the leek egg cakes came out of the pot one by one, and a very thick layer was stacked.

Tender pumpkins that have not yet grown and pumpkin flowers that have not yet borne fruit were added to the fried field chicken today, and while the field chicken was still in the pot, Comrade Chen Xiuyun mixed a cucumber with a cold mixture.

The rain is getting lighter and lighter, but the sky is always cloudy, the comrades in the studio don't know where to film, Jiang Yuzhu and Li Yuezhen haven't come back until Jiang Xinyu has finished taking a shower.

When Jiang Xinyu sat on a stool and lay on the edge of the bed to read "How Steel is Made", Chen Yi's voice sounded outside the courtyard.

Her hair was still damp, but she saw that he was wet.

"Why are you here when it's raining?"

Chen Yi's feet were covered with mud, and his cloth shoes were already soaked, so he stood his umbrella under the wall and wiped the water on his arms, "I'm afraid that you will go to school in the rain, so come and take a look." ”

She said, "Why are you so stupid?" ”

scolded him for being stupid, but his heart was sweet.

Chen Xiuyun poked her head out of the back room, "Have you eaten?" Just eat something here, Xinyu, go and give Chen Yisheng a meal. ”

Chen Yi hurriedly refused, "Auntie, don't bother, since I don't go to school today, I'll go home first, and I'll come early tomorrow morning." ”

Seeing that he bent down to take the umbrella, Jiang Xinyu simply dragged him directly into the house, "You sit, go back after eating." ”

The mud on his soaked shoes showed that he came back on foot, how could Jiang Xinyu not feel sorry for him.

The stove was still hot, the water in the pot was warm, and the egg cake and half pot of vegetables on the grate were still smothering in the pot, with a warm breath.

Jiang Xinyu came out with a bowl of dishes, covered with egg cakes, and handed him the chopsticks, "Don't worry, today's dish is not spicy." ”

She still remembers that the stir-fry was so spicy that he didn't even eat a few bites of food but made a bowl of rice. I used to eat with him only a handful of times, and I didn't know anything about his eating habits.

Chen Yi is the first time to eat fried pumpkin flowers, the salty, smooth and meaty taste is quite delicious.

A few pieces of cake and a bowl of vegetables are in his stomach, and he is indeed a lot more comfortable.

After sending the people away, Chen Xiuyun looked at Jiang Xinyu who was humming a minor tune and chuckled.

She still remembers how the little girl used to say unashamedly "Anyway, there is Chen Yi's bottom". The little girl is hard-mouthed, and now she knows that she is distressed before she gets married. But let her see, Chen Yi, this young man is still very good.

Husband and wife think about it for a long time, just pay attention to you feel sorry for me, I understand you, even if life is difficult, there will always be a better day.

In the evening, the comrades of the studio had not returned, Chen Xiuyun already felt that something was wrong, and Jiang Xinyu also ran to ask the cook who stayed in the team to cook for the comrades in the studio.

The cook said that today they went to the west side of Guizi Mountain to film.

Turtle Mountain is not a high mountain, because it is called Turtle Mountain by the brigade at the foot of the mountain because of its shape of a turtle.

The Wuliqiao Brigade and the Shenzhuang Brigade are both brigades at the foot of Guizi Mountain, and although they are close, they are not in the same direction.

Jiang Xinyu and Chen Xiuyun were worried when the person who came back from the studio to deliver the letter came.

It was raining too much on the side of the Shenzhuang brigade, and the comrades who were filming on the mountain were temporarily trapped on it, and they had to wait for the road down the mountain to be almost dry before walking, otherwise people and machines might be broken.

Finally knowing what was going on over there, the mother and daughter were slightly relieved.

Jiang Xinyu didn't sleep well this night, and Chen Xiuyun in the house also tossed and turned.

Before dawn the next morning, Chen Xiuyun called Jiang Xinyu up.

After the mother and daughter had a simple meal, Chen Xiuyun filled Jiang Xinyu with a can of pickled cucumbers, and then carried the grain.

"Slow down on the road."

Chen Xiuyun watched the backs of the two disappear at the entrance of the village, thinking about what happened to Jiang Yuzhu.

It was a cool morning, not a hint of stuffiness, and the birds chirped crisply and far away.

There was no one on the road, so the two walked side by side holding hands openly.

When he arrived at the school gate, Chen Yi looked down at her and explained: "If I am not at the door after school on Friday, you will go with your classmates, if I am free, I will definitely wait here in advance." ”

She nodded her head "mmmmmm

He basically had to explain it every week, and she didn't realize that he was such a mother-in-law before.

"If my sister comes back today, you will come and report to me tomorrow when you are free."

Chen Yi nodded and said, "Come in." ”

Comrade Jiang Yuzhu, who was worried about Jiang Xinyu, finally returned home at noon.

The rain on the side of the Shenzhuang brigade was heavier, and it rained all day yesterday, and the road was impossible to walk at all, and a male comrade even rolled down the slope and broke his leg. The rain stopped last night, and the sun was basking again in the morning, and everyone could barely go down the mountain.
