Chapter 55
The sudden downpour caught Xia Xiaoqiao off guard.
"Quick, quickly cover the quilt with the children!"
Xia Xiaoqiao, who was already asleep, suddenly felt water stains on her face, and a sound of lightning and thunder instantly woke her up, so without thinking about it, she directly covered Lu Jingyuan and the children on the bed with her quilt .
"You, come in and hide too!"
Xia Xiaoqiao, who was covering the quilt, was suddenly grabbed by a big bony hand by the wrist, and when she raised her head, she met Lu Jingyuan's dark and deep eyes.
Xia Xiaoqiao instinctively froze for a moment, but quickly said: "No, my clothes are already wet."
"Then take off—"
Before they could finish speaking, both of them froze.
Looking at Xia Xiaoqiao's rain-wet eyelashes still glistening with water, and seeing the slender curves outlined by her drenched clothes against her body, Lu Jingyuan suddenly said uncomfortably: "I, I didn't mean that— —”
"I--"
And Xia Xiaoqiao blinked slightly when she saw the big eyes, coughed lightly and said, "Hey, I understand!"
"Don't you just want me to take off your clothes and get into your bed to avoid the rain?"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem——"
Lu Jingyuan's eyes widened in shock, and he coughed continuously, "You, cough me—"
But before he finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao suddenly rushed towards him.
Then he heard the sound of a collapse, and when he looked up, he saw the soil on the roof pouring down and rainwater, his mind went blank, and he instinctively pulled Xia Xiaoqiao into his arms.
But the next moment, there was only a bang.
The expected soil and rain did not fall on them, and at some point there was a black raincloth on their heads?
Or maybe an umbrella?
It's just that this umbrella is too big, right?
Not only that, but the texture is not the wooden structure he is familiar with, but more like metal, emitting a faint cold light under the lightning, very textured, and very strong, so a large puddle of mud and rain fell on it, and it is still intact?
But where did this strange umbrella come from?
Lu Jingyuan's face was bewildered, and he looked down at the woman in his arms without blinking.
At this moment, Xia Xiaoqiao was also stunned.
While holding an umbrella, she faced Lu Jingyuan's suspicious eyes.
The four eyes met, and the brain was completely blank at that time.
broken!
In desperation, she directly exchanged for a large umbrella from the space, which was blocked by mud and rain, but how could she explain this?
Xia Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat.
But many years of military career has long cultivated the ability to stay calm in times of crisis.
She got up quickly and said calmly, "Are you okay?"
Lu Jingyuan just looked at her in a daze, and said mechanically, "It's nothing."
"That's good."
After Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she immediately stuffed the umbrella she was holding into his hand, "It's all my fault. I knew that there was a hole in the thatched shed, but I still didn't fix it. Please hold this umbrella for a while, and I'll go find it right away." Fill that hole with some hay."
After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Jingyuan grabbed his sleeve unexpectedly.
Xia Xiaoqiao's heart skipped a beat.
She forced herself to look back calmly, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, it's fine."
But Lu Jingyuan still held her tightly, until she couldn't help but wanted to pull away forcibly, and only when she heard the voice of the old man Zhang outside, did Lu Jingyuan slowly recover.
Said softly.
"Be careful."
Then he let her go slowly.
And Xia Xiaoqiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, nodded to him and ran out.
After the Qingming Festival, it will be Grain Rain, and then it will be Lixia.
It is said that spring rain is as expensive as oil!
This timely rain did drink up the thirsty earth.
But for Xia Xiaoqiao's poor family, it was even worse.
The old man Zhang found out an incomplete coir raincoat from nowhere, and he was putting it on his body at the moment. Seeing Xia Xiaoqiao coming out, he said eagerly: "Big lady——"
"Get some hay!"
The old man Zhang hurried to do so, and wanted to give Xia Xiaoqiao his coir raincoat to wear, but he was refused.
With the hay, she took out the hemp rope, trapped it strand by strand into a straw mat, and then climbed to the roof.
The old man Zhang was scared to death.
"Big lady, come down quickly, it's too dangerous to go up to the roof at this time, let the old slave come!!!"
But while speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao had already climbed up as light as a swallow.
"No, you are a man and heavier than me. This old house has been in disrepair for a long time and has already been overwhelmed. Go and find some stones for me."
The old man Zhang had no choice but to look for stones.
Xia Xiaoqiao patched up the broken hole on the bed, and used stones to sew it around so that it would not be blown away by the wind, and then asked old man Zhang to find some long logs to fix it. It was already an hour later when the work was done.
The rain was still falling, and there was a ticking sound on the roof of the shed.
It is different from the sound of dripping on tiles or on stones.
While stroking the umbrella, Lu Jingyuan looked at the repaired hole above his head and fell into deep thought until Xia Xiaoqiao re-entered the house.
"The quilt is wet, you have to change to a new one quickly, or you will catch a cold easily—"
"This is the ginger soup made by Ah Li, you can drink a bowl too."
Lu Jingyuan took it from her hand silently, looked at her hair scattered on her chest still dripping with water, looked at her clean face and those calm eyes, smelled the faint scent of her body. The elegant fragrance made his hands tighten tightly.
And just when he was about to open his mouth, Qilang suddenly stuck out his little head from under the bed.
He said in a daze, "Sister-in-law, what delicious food did you cook?"
"I want a bowl too—"
Xia Xiaoqiao was speechless, and tapped his forehead heavily.
"You little foodie, do you know what it is? Do you want a bowl?"
"Want to drink, right? My sister-in-law will serve it for you. If you don't drink it clean, see how I can deal with you."
After speaking, he went to the outside room with a smile, and after a while, he brought a bowl of hot ginger soup.
When the little guy saw that it was ginger soup, he immediately had a bitter face.
But under Xia Xiaoqiao's obscenity, he dared not stop drinking.
So he looked eagerly at his elder brother.
In the end, I saw my elder brother looked at his sister-in-law with good eyes, as if he had lost his soul, and the little guy waved his hand in front of him with a puzzled expression: "Brother, what are you looking at?"
Xia Xiaoqiao paused when she heard this, while Lu Jingyuan also slowly looked away, and after glancing at Qilang, she drank the ginger soup in the bowl in one gulp.
Shikachiro who watched was dumbfounded.
"Big brother?"
Ginger soup is so unpalatable, something that my elder brother would usually put on a straight face when he smells it, but he dries it up in one gulp?
The little guy had a frightened expression on his face.
Grabbing Xia Xiaoqiao's hand, he said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with my elder brother? Is he stupid?"
"That's ginger soup!!!"
Xia Xiaoqiao twitched the corners of her mouth and reprimanded with a straight face: "How do you talk?"
"Look at how well-behaved your elder brother is, he drank it all in one gulp. What are you waiting for? Why don't you drink it?"
Shikachiro with a bitter face: ".?!"
Plus Lu Jingyuan with a confused face: ".?!"
good?
Having grown up so big, no one has ever dared to judge him like that.
This Xia Xiaoqiao is simply the first person to create the world.
Does she know what she is talking about?
