Chapter 327 Guests coming
The driver had put on his raincoat earlier, and when he heard the question, he quickly replied, "On normal days, it only takes one meal to get there, but now it's raining so hard that the road is difficult to travel on, so it will definitely take more time."
"Let's go a little faster." Amber urged.
"Hey!" said the driver, and he jumped off the cart, pulled the reins and asked the mule to go faster.
......
On the other side, seeing that the weather was bad, Old Yang sent the children back early.
Watching the sky quickly covered with dark clouds, he instructed Daxin to go to the backyard to check, and asked Dahua to collect the clothes.
He picked up the wild vegetables that were drying in the yard and brought them into the house.
Daxin went to the backyard and hurriedly drove the piglets under the shed, and then hurriedly carried the grass that was drying on the rabbit hutch to the backyard room.
Looking at the dark sky and seeing that his aunt was nowhere to be seen in the backyard, he hurried to the front yard and said, "Grandpa Yang, do you want to move the chicken coop and rabbit hutch into the house? I can't do it by myself."
"Come on, I'll go with you."
With that, the two of them ran towards the backyard.
When Gu Qingqing came back from outside with the donkey and the sheep, the donkey was not afraid because it had its own shed, and the sheep were also free-range in the backyard, so they were all driven into the house next door along with the pigs, chickens, and rabbits.
Sanhua didn't know what rain was, but looking at the dark sky outside and listening to the rumbling thunder, her little face trembled with fear, and tears welled up in her round eyes. She looked like she was about to cry, which made Erhua very distressed.
"Don't be afraid, sister. I'm here. I'll help you cover your ears."
Erhua put Sanhua on the kang. She comforted Sanhua while covering her ears to prevent her from hearing the thunder.
"Run, run, it's raining." When a drop of rain hit Gu Qingqing in the backyard in the face, she hurriedly called out to Yang Bo and Daxin to run to the front yard.
the other side.
"Brother Dong, there are not enough straw mats." Zhao Nan wiped the water off his face and shouted and gestured to Zhang Dong on the other side through the rain.
"Go get those bamboo leaves and cover it with them. Use as much as you can to block it." Zhao Dong said as he walked towards some bamboo leaves that were cut that day when they were fermented not far away.
Zhao Bei and Zhao Feng had already carried some of the dried adobe bricks to an open space on the south side of the hillside, while some that were not completely dry were still on this side of the house.
The rain came so suddenly that they only had time to bring the paper-making tools and the finished paper from the backyard into the house.
Only then did I remember that there were some earthen bricks drying here. Fortunately there was no wind today, otherwise that straw mat and these bamboo leaves would be of no use at all.
Gu Qingqing had just arrived at the inner courtyard when she suddenly shouted, "Everyone go back to the house. I'm going to go see your Uncle Zhao Dong."
After that, she went back to the backyard in the rain, put on her raincoat and hat, picked up another raincoat and ran out from the back door. Sure enough, she saw the two of them still saving the bricks in the rain. She handed the hat to Zhao Nan who was nearby and said to him, "Brother Nan, don't worry about these. The rain is too heavy. Let's go back quickly."
Then he walked around to Zhao Dong holding the raincoat and instructed him to hold it above his head with his arms.
"The rain is falling too fast and too heavily." Zhao Nan, hiding under the street gate, shook off the water droplets on his raincoat and sighed as he looked at the rain in front of him.
"But after this rain, the crops in the fields will grow well," said Zhao Dong.
"Should we go back and take a look? I wonder if there are any leaks in our bamboo house with such heavy rain." Zhao Nan looked towards his own bamboo house.
"Don't worry, didn't the boss say to make some ginger tea? We should drink it before going back." Zhao Dong said as he stood at the gate and looked at the blurry distance.
......
Gu Qingqing prepared the ginger tea and invited everyone to the kitchen to drink half a bowl of it. Especially looking at Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan's wet clothes, Gu Qingqing went into the house and got two sets of Wen Wuyan's clean clothes for Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan to change into.
"Let's not change it. The rain doesn't look like it's going to stop any time. Our clothes will still be wet when we go back. We might as well just run back now. We will still have time to change when we get home." Zhao Dong said.
Gu Qingqing disagreed with his approach, "You will easily catch a cold if you do this. The rain will stop sooner or later. Why don't you change first and wait until after dinner, maybe the rain will subside."
"Dongzi, don't torture yourself, otherwise if someone really gets hot-headed, you'll be in trouble. Take your clothes and go to my and Daxin's room to change." Old Yang said from the side.
"Okay, then thank you, boss. When the weather clears up, we'll wash them and bring them back." Zhao Dong said, and he waved his hands on the towel in the kitchen. He took the clothes and planned to take Zhao Nan to change them.
At this time, Gu Qingqing instructed the children in the room, "Daxin and Dahua, you stay at home. I have to go to your uncle Yuzhu's house to check on them. I don't know if they have returned from the town. If they have, it's good. If not, I don't know how worried your uncle and aunt will be at home."
Gu Qingqing said the first sentence to Li Xin and Dahua, and the second sentence was obviously said to herself.
"Mother, I know."
"Aunt, why don't you stay at home and I'll run for you with the dustpan on my head. I can run fast." Li Xin said, looking at the rain.
His words were refuted by Gu Qingqing, "There is no raincoat suitable for you at home. You will get soaked if you go out. I'd better go."
Zhao Dong and Zhao Nan, who were originally planning to change clothes, knew why she went out and tried to stop her, "Even if they didn't come back, they would probably find a place to hide from the rain. It's not too late for you to go after the rain stops."
Gu Qingqing also knew that it would not be too late to go after the rain stopped, but this was why she was a little worried.
"I'll just go over and take a look." She put on her hat and prepared to run out.
At this moment, Niu Yuzhu's anxious voice came from the gate, "Sister-in-law, are you home?"
Gu Qingqing paused as she was about to run, looked at everyone first, and then shouted towards the gate, "I'm here, Yuzhu, is that you?"
"It's me. Which room are you in, sister-in-law?"
"I'll go take a look." Zhao Dong said as he put down the clean clothes in his hand, raised his raincoat in both hands and rushed out.
"I'll go take a look too." Zhao Nan didn't have a straw raincoat, only a hat.
He didn't care at this moment and ran out right after him.
"Wait for me, I'm coming." Gu Qingqing said and ran out.
Because she suddenly couldn't figure it out. Was Yuzhu coming back from town in such heavy rain? If he came back from town, why didn't he go back to his own home first, but came to her instead?
It can't be just because you want to tell her the news in town, right?
