Although the rain had lightened up in the evening, it was still pouring down. Chen Xiuyun fried some shredded potatoes, made steamed buns, and asked Jiang Xinyu and her sisters to soak half a bowl of malted milk each.
When I went to bed at night, there was thunder and rumble in the sky, and then the rain became even heavier. I could hear it clearly even while lying in bed.
In the middle of the night, when I was sleeping deeply, someone shouted outside the courtyard gate, and Xiaohei screamed loudly in the nest.
All five people in the courtyard were awake. Chen Xiuyun put on her clothes and lit candles.
Ma Meili was at the door of the courtyard. She was soaked all over. "Sister-in-law, the house in the courtyard is leaking so much that one corner is almost covered with water. Let Pandi fall asleep at your house first and wait until the rain stops to clean up the house." Can you repair it and then have it taken back?"
What can Chen Xiuyun say? Of course he let his niece live in the house. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and no one expected that the house would be so wet that it would be uninhabitable.
The Jiang Xinyu sisters in the room were already awake and heard what the second aunt said outside.
The two sisters put all the snacks and other things in Chen Xiuyun's room. The soap had long been dried and put away, and no one would be able to dig it out even if they came in for a while.
When Jiang Pandi came, she heard that the house had collapsed.
Jiang Pandi's house has been there for twenty years. It has been an old house for a long time. It has been repaired when it rained before. This time it was soaked and collapsed by the rain. It can be considered that it has been held on for a long time.
Jiang Xinyu's whole person is a bit magical. The house can be collapsed by the rain?
In the room in the courtyard, Chen Jiajia couldn't hold back the complaint in her heart, "What kind of shabby place is this? Even the house can collapse."
Li Yuezhen turned over and said, "Don't worry, the yard we live in is newly built, so it shouldn't collapse."
Li Yuezhen didn't feel warm until now, so she wrapped herself in a quilt and sneezed, "It's a bit cold today, but you must not get sick."
Both of them were caught in the rain today. Chen Jiajia originally felt hot and cold, but after hearing Li Yuezhen's words, she also wrapped herself in a quilt.
It rained heavily all night, and the next morning it was still gloomy. The heavy rain turned to moderate rain, and it was still a day without work.
Jiang Xinyu was only thankful that she washed the dirty clothes when she came back on Friday.
Jiang Pandi got up and went home to eat. Li Yuezhen came out of the house and said, "Aunt, Jiajia seems to have a fever and is feeling weak. Is there a doctor in the brigade?"
Chen Xiuyun put down the firewood in her hand and went to Dr. Barefoot. After a while, Dr. Li was called.
After seeing it, Dr. Li felt that the problem was not serious, it was just a common cold and fever.
There was hot water in the tea bottle, and Chen Jiajia drank a Zhengtang tablet.
Dr. Li said that after drinking the medicine, eat something warm, cover yourself in the quilt and sweat, and the fever may go away after sleeping.
Chen Xiuyun grabbed some rice, cooked it and asked Li Yuezhen to carry it over for a night.
Li Yuezhen thanked her and gave her another 50 cents, "Jia Jia will be troublesome for the next two days, so just accept the money."
The moderate rain gradually stopped, but the road outside turned into mud. Looking at the sky, it was still overcast. It was uncertain when it would rain again.
Spring is already a rainy season, and the only advantage of the heavy rain is that the members don't have to go to work.
Chen Xiuyun fried Jiang Xinyu noodles with sugar and made eight or nine corn pancakes. Then she packed some food for Jiang Xinyu and prepared for her to take it with her when she went to school in the afternoon.
A house in Ma Meili's house collapsed, and several other houses also leaked. It seemed like it would rain again at some point that day, and there would be no time to repair it. Jiang Pandi would continue to stay at Jiang Xinyu's house in the evening.
Chen Xiuyun took advantage of the rain to go around the private plot and pick some spinach. When she came back, she saw the situation in the cowshed. After returning home, she secretly brought the stick noodles for Jiang Xin Yukan to them.
None of them could get two pancakes each, but she couldn't get any more.
The cowshed was so leaky that there was no place to stand on it, the house was muddy, the stove was outside, the firewood was all wet, and the fire couldn't start.
After Chen Xiuyun returned home, she made a salty soup with spinach and eggs, poured it out, added water, and added a handful of noodles.
After cooking, she brought a bowl to Chen Jiajia, who had slept all afternoon. Li Yuezhen paid another dime and joined her mother and daughter for a meal. She had discovered that the current food in their studio was not as good as Chen Xiuyun's.
Home.
Li Yuezhen held a bowl and ate with her mother and daughter.
Chen Xiuyun was still thinking about what Widow Wang said yesterday, but she didn't know how to ask. After thinking about it, she took the opportunity to ask: "How many days have you been here from Beijing? Do you miss home?"
Li Yuezhen shook her head, took a sip of soup and said: "This is the first time I have left home so far. The village is a bit poorer, but the scenery and scenery are better than the capital. I don't want to go back yet. To be honest, this is also my first time.
I left home feeling very excited."
Jiang Yuzhu said with some envy and yearning: "I haven't seen Tiananmen, what are the Forbidden City and the Great Wall like?"
Li Yuezhen smiled heartily, "When you have the opportunity to go to Kyoto in the future, you can come find me and I will take you to play." Then she reported a series of numbers, "This is the phone number of the communication room of the film studio.
"
Compared with Chen Jiajia, Comrade Li Yuezhen is much more cheerful and sincere.
Jiang Yuzhu shook his head and said: "I have never even been to the provincial capital, let alone the capital."
I probably won’t have the chance to go out in the future, so I can only think about going to the capital.
"Write it down first, maybe there will be a chance later."
Chen Xiuyun added: "If you want to send a letter home and it is inconvenient to go to the post office to deliver it, you can ask me to deliver it for you. When the weather clears, I will also send a letter home."
This was the best way she could think of to avoid making people weird.
If Chen Jiajia sends a letter home, will her father's name appear on the envelope?
"Comrade Xiao Chen doesn't seem to be in good health, so her parents don't worry about her being so far away from home?" Chen Xiuyun said as if she was chatting.
Li Yuezhen said: "Actually, Jiajia doesn't like to get sick very much, but she didn't adapt well here, and she was bitten by bugs and developed a rash. It was cold yesterday, and I even had a cold."
Chen Xiuyun said: "If you had told me earlier, I could still smoke mugwort leaves in the house. Now I can only wait until the weather clears and she gets better."
"Jiajia's mother loves her very much. It would be very uncomfortable if she knew she was sick."
After Li Yuezhen finished eating, Chen Xiuyun said, "Just put the bowl down, and the jade beads will be brushed together in a while."
Li Yuezhen said: "Just now, my aunt said that I would help deliver letters to the post office. When you said that, I really missed home. I will go back and write a letter to my parents now. I will ask Jiajia to see if she writes.
It’s time to bother my aunt with a trip.”
Chen Xiuyun said: "What's the matter? It's a side trip."
