Chapter 48 The Rainy Season Begins

From that day on, Hongxue didn't go up the mountain much, and seldom went to the town. She only pointed out the location of the honeysuckle to the fourth aunt and Sun Juqing, and told them that these things could be exchanged for money.

Perhaps out of apology, the family often received fresh game from Chen Pengfei. At first, Hongxue asked his mother to give him money, but he insisted on refusing it. A bowl passed.

Hongxue was not idle at home, she began to teach Hongshuang the stitches in the Hongyu Linglong Embroidery Sutra, and also earnestly taught her four younger siblings to read and practice calligraphy.

The rainy season is finally here. Hongxue looked at the big dark clouds in the distant sky, which were moving in patches. The air was breezy and damp, and she sighed slightly in her heart. I asked someone to turn over the roof again, but I don't know if the storm tonight can prevent the house from flooding.

At night, the strong wind outside was blowing against the window lattice, making a roar like a monster.

Mrs. Zhou sighed, but her tone was full of rejoicing, "Thanks for your thoughtful thinking, otherwise such a wind would have knocked off the roof of our house."

After hearing this, Hongxue raised her head and said with a smile, "Mother, I didn't think about it. Aunt Sun reminded me earlier, but I was worried that our house might get flooded."

"Your aunt grandson has nothing to say to our family, Xue'er, I heard from Ju Qing that even your grand uncle can walk a few steps down the ground now?" Mrs. Zhou looked at her daughter in amazement. This eldest daughter is getting better and better now. It's getting bigger and bigger, first he healed Sun Daniu's foot injury, and now even his father who has been paralyzed on the bed for many years can go to the ground, this is something that he never dared to think about before.

Hongxue pointed out where Hongshuang should get the needle, and then casually continued, "Uncle Sun's injury is actually not as serious as Brother Big Niu's, it's just that he's getting older, and the treatment was delayed at that time, so it's just a matter of time." Take off so much."

She changed the subject and said, "But it's also thanks to Uncle Sun's hard work, otherwise I wouldn't dare to treat it." Sun Ruhe's broken bone has already grown, and if he wants to rejoin the bone, he needs to break it open and reattach it. , The pain in this, only the person involved knows.

"How should I put it, their family is about to worship you as a living Bodhisattva now." Zhou said with a smile: "Your grand aunt has been praising you in front of me all the time. Looking at her, I really wish I could lead you go home."

"Mother, are you jealous?" Hongxue looked up at Mrs. Zhou, and said seriously, "No matter what my abilities are, I'm still Mother's daughter."

"You damn girl, how dare you make fun of my mother." Zhou couldn't help but burst out laughing, nodded Hongxue's forehead and said: "Your Aunt Sun and I have been good sisters for more than ten years, how can mother?" I will be jealous of her, and if one more person loves you, it's too late for my mother to be happy."

Hongxue still wanted to say something, but found that Xiang'er and Hongxi next to her unconsciously yawned, their little heads yawning bit by bit.

Seeing her, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly hugged one of them and said, "Your little brother and sister are still young and can't stay up late, so I'll take them to bed first, and your sisters also go to bed early, and they hurt your eyes carefully."

"Okay, Shuang'er will take Yu'er to sleep first, and I will help mother to send the younger brother and younger sister over there." Hongxue gave orders, picked up Hongxiang, and sent the two drowsy little guys into Zhou's room together. After setting them up in the room, they brought hot water to wash the faces, hands and feet of Hongshuang sisters, and urged them to put down their embroidery work and go to bed.

When Hongxue was lying on the bed, she could vaguely hear a lot of movement. It seemed that the thatched roof was blown away by people in the village, or the rain leaked, and the thatch had to be added overnight, otherwise the night would not be so easy.

Although the house was old and the windows were rattling, there was no movement in Hongxue's house, and she was a little tired, so she closed her eyes in a daze.

When I woke up the next day, just as I was about to go to the ground, I was startled by the stagnant water all over the ground. I calmed down after a while, and sighed softly, alas!This house...is not going to work if it is not built.

"Xue'er, are you all right?" Zhou's voice came in anxiously. Although the water on the ground was not too deep, it still made Zhou feel a little at a loss.

"Mother, it's all right, there is water on the ground, don't let Xiang'er and the others get out of bed." Hongxue stopped the two sisters beside her from going down to the ground, and took care of her: "Don't go down to the ground, I'll help mother make breakfast, and clear the water on the ground in a while." Come down again."

As he said that, he got out of bed, stepped in the water indifferently, found his wet shoes and put them on his feet, and went into the kitchen to help Mrs. Zhou make breakfast.

"Oh, why did you get out of bed, mother is fine by herself, hurry up and stay on the bed." Seeing Hongxue coming out, Mrs. Zhou shouted hurriedly.

"Mom, let me help you. Now that the rain has stopped outside, let's find a way to get the water out of the house first, so that Shuang'er and the others can get out of bed." Scoop out the water.

The reason is that the water in the house is not too big, and it is hot now. The sun came out in the morning, and the ground dried up quickly. Hongxue quickly cleared the accumulated water in the house, and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly brought hot water. Let Hongxue soak her feet, Hongshuang and the others also went down to the ground, busy making ginger water for Hongxue, forced her to drink it, and asked her to put on clean shoes before letting her go.

After tossing and tossing, I heard a call from outside the door: "Aunt Zhou, Hongxue, are you up yet?"

Mrs. Zhou was stunned. What is this girl Juqing doing from home so early in the morning? Isn't she afraid that the road will be slippery in rainy days?
Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was in a daze, Hongxue was about to stand up and open the door, but she was suddenly held down by Mrs. Zhou, and shouted, "Sit down obediently." Then she went to the courtyard to open the door by herself.

"Auntie, it rained too much last night. My mother asked me to see if your house is leaking." As soon as she entered the door, Sun Juqing explained why she came here. When she saw the muddy floor in the house, she knew what was going on. , and said: "Father and mother are afraid that your house is low-lying and will get flooded at night. It seems that it is true. Mother said that there may be rain in the next few days, and let you move to my house."

"How can it be done? Your house is not big, so how can you accommodate so many of us?" Mrs. Zhou refused without hesitation: "Go back and thank your parents for their kindness. At most, I will prepare some more dry food today. Just get out of bed and walk around."

"Oh, auntie, what are you talking about? Why don't you get out of bed." Sun Juqing said with a smile: "When I came, my mother gave me a death order, and I must take your family there. Although my house is not much, There are still some after tidying up one room, but it has to be squeezed by my aunt's family."

"Then, let Xue'er and the others go with you, I'll take Xiang'er and the others to make up at home." Zhou took a step back.

"What are you making up for?" As soon as the Zhou family finished speaking, a man's voice came in and said, "Sister-in-law San brings Xiang'er and the others to live in my house, won't that solve everything?" It was the Jiang family who spoke Fourth Uncle, beside him is his wife, Mrs. Wang.
