Chapter 27
"Oh. Thatch." Chen He turned around, lifted the curtain, bent down, and took out a handful of thatch, "I dug it yesterday. Is it enough for you?"

"That's enough." Su Yunxue looked at the large bundle of thatch, feeling even more embarrassed.She took a handful of dandelions from the basket and handed them to her, "Here you are."

Chen He did not refuse.He glanced at Su Yunxue's white and tender hand, quickly took the dandelion, and withdrew his hand. "Let me know if you need anything. I go to the mountains every day and I can see a lot of herbs."

Su Yunxue was very curious. "Brother He, do you know many herbs?"

"Well," he smiled happily, "I learned a little."

"Really? That's great." Su Yunxue was very envious.Her younger sister has been in poor health, and the family has no money to always see Su Yunman's doctor.Su Yunxue's dream has always been to be an apprentice in a medical clinic and take care of her family in the future.

But this is impossible.She is illiterate, and the hospital only accepts boys who can go up the mountain.

"If you want to learn, I will teach you the next time you go up the mountain." Chen He smiled brighter, "It's very simple."

Su Yunxue didn't dare to look at his smile anymore, and ran away with her heart pounding.

The rain only stopped for one morning.After lunch, the sky was cloudy again.In the dark clouds in the distance, dull thunder slowly sounded, and a bolt of lightning split the darkness that was not like the afternoon.It is ephemeral.With lightning and thunder, raindrops fell with a bang.The rain was heavier than last night.When it fell, it knocked off the little red buds and tore the calm surface of the lake.

The rain did not stop until evening, but it was getting darker.

"Mother, you must go to the pond in such a heavy rain." Su Yunxue was anxious: "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Xu Xiumei was wearing a coir raincoat and straw sandals, and was about to go out with Su Yunman's small clothes in her hand.

"No, you are watching your sister at home." Xu Xiumei grabbed the rope, stepped onto the river bank, and rushed into the boundless rain.

The spring rain that fell from the sky filled the pond on the east side of Haiming Island, and even the grass nests on the roadside were flooded.The dirt road was very muddy, so Xu Xiumei braved the rain to come here.

According to Goddess Li's instructions, she grabbed the soil from the nearby pond and put it on the small clothes, kowtowed three times to the northeast, put the small clothes in her hands, turned and walked in the direction of the boat, thinking of Su Yunman's words in her heart name.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck, and there was a bang behind the lightning, as if there was a sound of falling.Xu Xiumei was startled, but she didn't dare to turn her head.Goddess Li told her to walk all the way home and not look back.If she turns around, the soul may not come back.

The rain is getting heavier.It is not like spring rain, but like summer storms.The coir raincoat on her body absorbed more and more water.Xu Xiumei felt that the way back was getting longer and longer.

It rained for two days in a row, and the water level on Haiming Island kept rising.The small pond to the east floods the dirt road leading to Sujia Village.Now, the three taels of silver that Su Yunman delayed due to illness can no longer be given away.

In the past, when Su Genliang went out, the women who stayed at home went to catch the tide and made some crab shell porridge.The water level is too high for the tide to rise.The family ate wild vegetables and bamboo shoots for three days.

The leftover wife of a dog is also very disturbed.After lunch, she took the child to the Su family's boat and asked Su Yunxue to play with the child.She worked with Xu Xiumei.

The two women mended their clothes and twisted the hemp rope, but they didn't talk and laugh like they used to.The air was cold and rough, like rain.

"Sister, don't worry too much." Xu Xiumei asked how old his leftover wife was.She is also worried, and not as obvious as the dog leftover wife. "The dog's father is an old fisherman. He took the dog to catch the fishing season together. The brothers take care of each other and will return safely."
