Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 458

Liu Ya also looked up at the sky, and sure enough, she saw two big dark clouds floating over not far away, and the dark clouds were gradually closing into one big piece, probably it was really going to rain.

Liu Ya hurriedly finished the porridge in the bowl, and she didn't have time to clean the bowls and chopsticks, so she put them under the stove behind.Quickly move some things that are afraid of getting wet to the small water shop. After all, the small water shop is now covered with bamboo curtains on three sides, and there is a roof reinforced with bamboo skin on it, so it will not leak.

After cleaning up all these, the sky became even more gloomy.Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er hurried back over the mountain with the bamboo tube on their shoulders.It was so fast and slow, and after the bamboo tube was placed by the spring, the raindrops also fell.

Fortunately, the raindrops were not big at the beginning, and the patter was just refreshing.Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er ran home quickly, during which Xiao Shu'er broke off two big leaves, and Liu Ya and Liu Ya ran quickly down the mountain with their heads covered.

When we entered the village, it began to rain heavily.Liu Ya simply threw away all the leaves in her hand, and dragged Xiao Shu'er to run away.Anyway, a leaf also covers its head but not its tail, so it can't run fast because it hides it, and it gets drenched even more.

In such a hurry, Xiao Shu'er and Liu Ya were both drenched when they got home.

Liu Xu'er was looking around under the eaves, and when she saw Liu Ya and the others coming back from a distance, she hurriedly held up a broken umbrella to pick them up.As a result, the umbrella was also torn, and the three of them huddled together under the umbrella and wet Liu Xu'er's clothes, and her shoes were also wet from stepping on the puddles.

Liu Ya told Liu Xu'er not to hold on to the umbrella, and ran home holding the little tree with one hand and Liu Xu'er with the other.

The three of them stood under the eaves, Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er were all wet, water could come out of their hair.Liu Xu'er was okay, her hair wasn't too wet, but her shoes, socks and skirt were all wet.The three siblings looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed together.

After laughing, Liu Ya stretched out her hand to catch some of the rainwater from the eaves, and sighed, "I thought I was lucky, and God's good will make it rain after our new house is built. As a result It's not a day and a half early."

Liu Xu'er said: "You are beautiful, how can there be no rain in this season for more than ten days? It only rained once before, how many days have there been no rain? If it doesn't rain again, it will be drought."

Liu Ya thinks about it too, since she crossed over, there was really only one rain, that was the time when Chun Niu was sent home by the Li family.After that, there was a sporadic light rain at night, but in the morning, it seemed that only the ground was wet, and it didn't delay the trip.But in this season, it really doesn't rain.

It can be said that apart from the Liu family building a house looking forward to sunny days, in fact, the whole village, or the entire surrounding villages and towns around Anji City, are also looking forward to rain.

Liu Ya nodded and said: "That's right, we can't let the people of the whole country suffer." Looking at the new house, there was no one there, so she asked: "Master Gu, they left? Did you say no explanation?" Will the sky come?"

The previous agreement was that if it really rained, Master Gu and his apprentices and helpers would not come, but the wages still had to be paid.But if you want them to come over, it's okay, but at noon, you have to take care of the meal, and you can't work, which is actually even more uneconomical.So Liu Ya agreed that as long as it rains heavily and cannot start work, Master Gu and the others can rest at home for a day.

Liu Xu'er said: "When it was cloudy, Master Gu came over to say hello to Dad, saying that the rain might not be light, and they couldn't continue to work, and they were afraid that the rain would really rain heavily, and even the family would be scared." I can’t go back, so I’ll call it a day. Master Gu also said that if the rain stops before dark and the puddles on the ground are not deep enough to reach the soles of the shoes, they can still start work tomorrow. If the rain doesn’t stop, it goes without saying, for sure They can't start work; but even if the rain stops early, the puddles on the ground are too deep, and they won't be able to work if the water doesn't dry up tomorrow morning. However, Master Gu asked his father for a pen and paper, saying it was for You left a note, which is the number of adobe bricks, and you can go to Dad's house to see later."

In rainy days, if the water is too deep, you can't work. These are the ways to build a house. Of course, Liu Ya doesn't understand, so she can only hope that the rain will stop soon, and that the rain will not be too heavy.But Master Gu said that the number of adobe bricks has been fixed, which is a very important matter.

Liu Dacheng pushed open the window and said, "Stop talking here, go into the room and change your clothes. Then boil some hot water to wipe your body, boil a pot of ginger syrup to drive away the cold, don't catch a cold at this time."

Both Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er agreed, and went into the house to change their clothes.Liu Xu'er was not too wet, so I changed my shoes and socks, wrung out the wet skirt first, tied it in a knot, and it didn't affect my walking.Then I went to the kitchen to boil a pot of hot water, and sent a pot to Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er's house respectively, asking them to wipe their bodies when changing clothes, and then went to make ginger soup again.

When Liu Ya and Xiao Shu'er washed their bodies and came out with dry clothes, Liu Xu'er also boiled the ginger syrup.

Liu Ya took a bowl of hot ginger syrup and drank it, her face turned red soon.After drinking a bowl of ginger candy, I feel warm all over my body.

But after seeing the rain that was still falling outside, Liu Ya hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand, and said to Xiao Shuer: "Help Second Sister find our coir raincoat, and help Second Sister put on the carriage, Second Sister goes out one trip."

"Second Sister, it's raining, what are you doing when you're not at home?" Xiao Shu'er also just drank a bowl of ginger syrup, and her little face was flushed.No matter how much he loves Liu Ya, of course he is not willing to let Liu Ya go out in the rain at this time.

Liu Ya said: "The rain doesn't slow down or stop. It's good for us to stay at home, but Chunniu and Siping are still outside? There is no place to shelter from the rain on either side of the mountain road. If they come back at this time If you are lucky, you will be stopped by the rain in Xiaozhang Village. It’s okay to find a family to take shelter from the rain. But if it rains heavily in the middle of the walk, won’t they have to come back all the time? They will help our family, I just ran all the way to the town to choose house beams. We can’t hide from the rain at home, just ignore them. Besides, even if they are sheltering from the rain in Xiaozhang Village, if the rain doesn’t stop, won’t they Are you coming back in the rain?"

Liu Dacheng also heard it in that room, nodded quickly and said: "No, I almost forgot about it. Ya'er, you are right, you can't let others help and suffer. Just work harder and run away again." Let’s go. Xu’er, go get the coir raincoats, take out the new sets of coir raincoats that Dad made, wear one for Ya’er, and bring two sets. Shu’er, go and help your second sister with the car.”

After listening to Liu Dacheng's order, Liu Xu'er agreed and ran to the warehouse in the backyard to get the coir raincoat.The straw coir raincoats at home were not good before, but Liu Da took advantage of the intervals between weaving baskets to weave several sets of coir raincoats, and now they are ready for use.
