Huo Xuan looked at Xie Mingzhu's back, his eyes dimmed, and his breathing became disordered.

After rubbing his hands together, he warmed up his slightly cold hands after touching the cold water, then picked up the ointment, squeezed out some, and applied it on Xie Mingzhu.

Before touching her skin, she straightened her back abruptly.

Competitor Huo paused, turned his head to look at her, and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Xie Mingzhu was a little embarrassed and shook her head: "It doesn't hurt."

Huo Xuan continued his actions.

"I think it's raining a little bit now. I'll take out the things next door first, and then go to the brigade to find the captain to see if I can arrange someone to repair the roof." Huo Xuan continued.

Xie Mingzhu responded softly.

Mr. Huo moved quickly, but spread the ointment very gently, then turned around and let out a deep breath.

Not daring to look at Xie Mingzhu again, he put away the ointment, and then said, "I'm going to clean up the things next door."

Xie Mingzhu tidied her clothes silently, and let out a soft "hmm".

Soon, Huo Xuan went to the next room.

After a while, she got up and went to the next room.

More than half of the roof has fallen off, the rain is still falling, and the mattress and sheets on the bed have already been soaked.

Huo Xuan is putting away the wet mattress, and will take it out to blow after the rain stops.

The other half of the room was not exposed to rain, so Huo Xuan moved the table over there and put the mattress on it.

Xie Mingzhu was about to go forward to help, but was stopped by him: "Stand over there first, be careful not to get wet."

After hearing his words, Xie Mingzhu didn't come forward again.

Except for the sheets and bedding, the rest is Xie Mingzhu's change of clothes, but they are already wet.

"When the rain stops, let's go to the supply and marketing agency to buy two more." Xie Mingzhu said softly.

Huo Xuan nodded in response.

When the house was almost cleaned up, the rain stopped.

Huo Xuan glanced outside, and then said: "I'm looking for the captain of the team now."

After saying this, he went out.

After a while, he came back.

Judging by the expression on his face, he should have hit a wall.

"What's wrong? The brigade said it won't be repaired?" Xie Mingzhu asked.

Huo Xuan nodded: "That's about it. The captain said that it's almost summer harvest, and the team is busy with harvesting wheat, so there is no manpower to repair the house."

Actually, to put it bluntly, I just don’t want to cultivate.

Huo Xuan is no longer an educated youth sent to the countryside, and his household registration has already been moved back to the city, and he is no longer a collective household in the brigade.As soon as Xie Mingzhu left, the educated youth dormitory was left unused, so why did the brigade spend money and effort to repair the house?
Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips, pondered for a moment, and then whispered: "Anyway, we won't be able to stay for a few days, and you will sleep in my room for the next two days."

The latter sentence was said very quietly.

Huo Xuan coughed twice, then shook his head: "There was nothing you could do about it last night, if someone saw it, it would be bad for your reputation."

Then, he took another look at the room with the broken roof, and continued, "I'll drag the bed out later, let it dry outside, and I can sleep at night."

Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips and did not speak, only nodded slightly.

Huo Xuan glanced at her sideways and said, "Did you change your clothes yesterday? Bring them here and I'll wash them for you."

"what?"

Xie Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook her head and waved her hands and said, "This...no...no need, I'll just wash it myself."

Not to mention the close-fitting small clothes inside, even the shirts outside are not easy for her to let Huo Xuan wash for her.

Without waiting for Huo Xuan to say anything, she hurriedly turned around and went back to her room, fearing that Huo Xuan would really come to take away her clothes and wash them.

Huo Xuan looked at her fleeing back, but didn't chase after her.

After lunch, the sun came out outside.

Seeing that the weather was fine, Huo Xuan decided to go to the commune.

Go buy two suitable changes of clothes and come back, then go buy some food.

Xie Mingzhu originally wanted to go with her.

Seeing the muddy outside, Huo Xuan said to her, "It just rained overnight, and the road outside is destined to be extremely muddy."

Xie Mingzhu thought about it too. There are no asphalt roads in the countryside, and there are only mud fields. It has been raining overnight, and the ground is designated to be full of muddy water. It is better not to go.

Just when she was about to say no, Huo Xuan changed her mind again: "It's okay to go out for a walk together. If you walk on the gravel road at Chenjiazhuang, there shouldn't be so much muddy water."

Xie Mingzhu glanced at him and agreed.

He took his own small cloth bag, locked the door, and went out with Huo Xuan.

The roads in the village were also dirt roads. As soon as he went out, Huo Xuan let Xie Mingzhu sit on the back seat of his bicycle.

Before going out, Xie Mingzhu put on a pair of rain boots so that they could be washed when she came back.

It had just rained heavily outside, and the villagers didn't go to work in the fields, and they all gathered at the entrance of the village to chat and gossip.

Seeing the two people coming out, they greeted with a smile: "Xie Zhiqing, it's just rained heavily, and it's hard to walk outside. Where are you going? Are you going to the street with Huo Zhiqing again?"

Although most people in the village are good at gossip, they are not bad-hearted.

Xie Mingzhu responded politely and distantly.

After leaving the village, Huo Xuan drove Xie Mingzhu around behind Chenjiazhuang.

Although it is a long way around, the road is better.

Half an hour later, the two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative.

The supply and marketing cooperative sold ready-made clothes, so Huo Xuan took two sets of white shirts and black pants.

Turning to look at Xie Mingzhu, she asked again, "You also bought two sets of clothes?"

Xie Mingzhu shook her head: "I have too many clothes."

Huo Xuan didn't pay attention to her words, his eyes turned around the clothes, and finally stopped on a very bright orange floral dress.

The times are different now, not to mention the past, even in the first two years in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the countryside, I would not see such bright and dazzling skirts.

"Does this dress look good?" Huo Xuan turned to look at Xie Mingzhu.

Xie Mingzhu followed his gaze and nodded, "It looks good."

"Want to try?"

Xie Mingzhu shook her head again: "I really have a lot of clothes, don't waste your money."

Huo Xuan insisted: "I didn't buy what you have, I want to buy it for you."

Seeing his insistence, Xie Mingzhu nodded.

Seeing this, Huo Xuan laughed immediately, and said to the salesperson, "Comrade, please take off that skirt and try it on."

The salesperson was an older lady in her 30s. She looked at him first, then at Xie Mingzhu, and said aloud, "This dress is not cheap. If you want to buy it, I will get it for you!"
