After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

Chapter 61 Heavy Rain?

The two of them talked to each other, and the smiles on their faces became brighter and brighter than the other, as if he didn't exist, as if there was no one else around.

When she was with him, she had never talked softly with Zhou Lin like today. She either quarreled with him, or played a show, or the two of them got into trouble without saying a word. scattered.

"Hey, let me tell you why you have such a weird temper. I haven't even eaten a few bites of this cake!"

Zhou Lin felt that Gu Jingcheng was baffled, but he was afraid that he would leave him behind alone, so he immediately called Gu Ruotong to ask her to take away all the unfinished food on the table.

After such a delay, when Zhou Lin ran out to catch up to Gu Jingcheng, they were only one street away from the academy.

"I have something to ask you, I wonder if you can tell your elder brother tomorrow.

Let him take the people under his hands to patrol here, and the students of the academy eat a lot here.

In order to prevent the gangsters in the city from causing trouble, ask them to be more careful when patrolling. "

After coming out to blow the cold wind, Gu Jingcheng felt that he was much more awake than before.

The depression in his heart dissipated, he said apologetically to Zhou Lin.

"I was the one who spoke a little harshly just now, and I hope you will forgive me."

"What's this?"

Zhou Lin shook his head and didn't take this matter to heart at all, "Between you and me, saying these words will create a relationship. I also know that you are worried about your sister-in-law and two children."

In fact, he rarely saw Gu Jingcheng caring about his relatives. In the past, whenever the two of them talked about family matters, he mostly kept silent.

Unlike today, he will take him to eat where the people in his family work.

"I really envy your two nieces. You have an uncle who cares about them so much. We have known each other for so long, but you have never cared about me."

Zhou Lin couldn't help complaining to Gu Jingcheng: "In the academy, we are best friends."

"If you envy my niece, it just so happens that my sister-in-law has always wanted to have a son. If you don't mind, you can give birth to her in her womb. Then I will treat you better than those two nieces."

Gu Jingcheng patted Zhou Lin on the shoulder: "It's just that, you and I can't be classmates."

"I really thank you."

Zhou Lin rolled his eyes wide.

With Brother Zhou Lin taking care of him, Gu Jingcheng never went to the shop again.

Su Xiaomu didn't care whether he came or not. In July, the weather became hotter and hotter.

She stood at the gate of the academy waiting for the students to come to get the ice powder. It was the hottest time of the day at noon.

The sultry summer wind blew through her hair, and the heat and humidity came together, and the air was mixed with the viscous feeling of an imminent rainstorm.

The hammer heads of the big tree at the entrance of the academy were falling off, and the leaves were drooping as if they had been squeezed dry by the scorching heat.

This is the case for several days a year. Looking up at the sky, there are dark clouds and sunshine at the same time.

When she went out every day, she was worried that the road would be difficult to walk in the rain, and at the same time worried that the weather was too hot and the sun was making her dizzy.

But the ice powder business was good, and she was reluctant to cut off her money because she was afraid of the heat, so she persisted for a few more days, until one day when she was about to go out, a downpour fell.

The raindrops were as big as soybeans and fell down, hitting the ground so that tiny pits appeared one after another in the mud.

This rain continued for a day, and the rain did not decrease by half until the evening.

"If it continues like this, the water in the river will still rise."

Mrs. Li stood under the eaves and watched the heavy rain, her face was full of unresolved worries.

"I'm afraid this year's harvest will not be very good. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, the crops in the field may not be able to survive."

"Drought to death, flood to death, natural disasters and man-made disasters, it is us farmers who suffer the most."

Mr. Gu was sitting by the door, knocking the bong in his hand on the ground again and again. The ash inside fell out and hit the water, instantly turning into a puddle.

But these are their troubles, Su Xiaomu didn't feel much.

After all, she doesn't have to go to the shop when it rains, she can stay at home and have a good rest.

She gets up early every day and is greedy for night, and she can't stand it for a few more days.

"Who says it's not? Fortunately, our family is not only living on the crops in the field."

Li Shi sighed heavily, and she shifted her gaze to Su Xiaomu, which made her feel like a light was on her back instantly.

Su Xiaomu turned around and grabbed her arm and said softly, "Yes, now my sister-in-law and I are doing business outside. Even if our family doesn't farm, the money we earn is enough for the whole family to live on."

"Yeah, it's lucky to have you, Xiaomu, otherwise our family wouldn't know what to do after this heavy rain."

The three of them stood under the eaves and watched the heavy rain in front of them. For the first time, Mrs. Li and Mr. Gu did not show any fear in their eyes.

It rained heavily all night, and the next day was supposed to be the day when Gu Jingcheng Xiumu came back, but the Gu family waited from dawn to dusk, but they never saw him come back.

They were not worried either. After all, it was raining so hard and the mountain road was difficult to walk. It was not clear that he would not go home this time, or that he wanted to wait for the rain to calm down before going home.

The whole family didn't take this matter to heart, and when Chen was cooking at night, he generously stewed ribs.

She happily explained to Li Shi that she stewed pork ribs to satisfy the family's gluttony, not to make her mouth itch.

"That is to say, taking advantage of the rain, Xianggong and eldest brother can rest at home for a few days.

I see that the two of you have lost a lot of weight in the recent summer, but you have to make up for it, otherwise how will you get the autumn harvest? "

Mrs. Chen pushed the clay pot containing the ribs in front of the men.

"That is to say, now that the year is good, we can take advantage of the rain to take a rest. Don't just stick around, and eat the meat as soon as you make it. You can't waste it."

With a movement of the chopsticks in Mrs. Li's hand, she picked up a piece of ribs for each of the children in the family.

Both Gu Ruotong and Gu Ruonan have it.

She is a eccentric elder, but all her hearts are on Gu Jingcheng, and she almost treats everyone else in the family equally.

After dinner, Su Xiaomu took Gu Ruotong to learn how to settle accounts. It happened that she was free these two days, so she could teach her some more important things.

But before the two of them had time to enter the house, there was a sound of panicked footsteps outside their yard, accompanied by several men shouting nervously.

"Old Gu! Stop sitting at home, the mountain at the east end of the village has collapsed, and Jingcheng, your home, seems to be inside!"

The few men who entered the yard were all unfamiliar faces. They came in the heavy rain, and they were all soaked through.

Every raw face was full of nervous expressions, and their hands were shaking with hoes.

And when Mrs. Li heard that Gu Jingcheng might be buried by the collapsed rocks, her face turned pale, and for a moment she felt stares in her eyes, and the world was spinning.

Everyone and everything she saw was circling around her, her consciousness became more and more blurred, her mouth opened, but she didn't utter a word, she fell to the ground with a bang!
