Chapter 251 Nightmare

In the gray sky, rain continued to fall, landing on the accumulated water on the ground, splashing water and creating ripples.

In her previous life, when she was a child, one of Xia Daohua’s favorite things was to sit in front of the large transparent glass window during the summer rainy season and watch the rain outside.

If the rain is heavy, you will see dense and heavy rain curtains, hear the sound of rain splashing, and the accumulated water on the ground will be continuously smashed into small pits one after another.

If the rain is not heavy, you will see dense rain lines gently falling into the shallow water on the ground, creating circles of ripples.

However, at this moment, in the time and space of the Great Chu Dynasty, Xia Daohua was no longer in the mood to appreciate the scenery, because she had understood the connection between weather and people's livelihood more deeply than ever before.

Seeing the rain getting heavier and longer, and looking like it would rain all night, she couldn't help but frowned in worry:

Will such heavy rain affect this year's harvest? Will my relatives who are rushing to the road be caught on the way? If the rain continues, will it eventually turn into a flood?

These thoughts flashed through her mind as the rain pouring in from the window soaked her clothes. Xia Daohua sneezed and quickly closed the window.

She turned her head to look at her sisters, and seeing that they were sleeping soundly, she quickly slipped into the Space Supermarket.

In the staff dormitory of Space Supermarket, I took a comfortable hot bath, dried my hair with a thick and soft white bath towel, changed into soft and light coral fleece pajamas, and drank a cup of steaming red date ginger tea.

She felt that she would not catch a cold, so she did not take any cold medicine.

However, considering that she had to make some preparations in case of a real flood, Xia Daohua inspected the supermarket again and looked for equipment and items that could be used.

There are no speedboats, but there are good quality lifebuoys, life jackets and inflatable boats.

Portable tents, outdoor jackets, hiking boots, rain boots, thermal blankets, picnic mats, everything is available.

Anti-inflammatory drugs, trauma medicines, cold medicines, home first aid kits, a wide variety, rich stock.

Purified water, mineral water, milk, ginger tea, rice, flour, coarse grains, beans, self-heating military rations, self-heating hot pot, compressed biscuits, luncheon meat, canned food, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, everything is available.

These should be about the same...

Xia Daohua changed her coral fleece pajamas into a white cotton undershirt that she wore outside, and carefully left the Space Supermarket.

No one woke up, and it seemed that no one had come.

She crawled into the warm quilt, listening to the sound of the gurgling rain, and her breathing gradually became lighter and longer.

I don’t know if it was the sound of rain that entered my dream or because I was too worried, but Xia Daohua actually dreamed of the Qiantang River tide.

It was such a spectacular scene, with broken pearls and beautiful scenery, but suddenly a wave came and swept away the crowd on the embankment.

Then, the dam, which originally looked very solid, suddenly lost a lot of soil and collapsed with a loud noise, just like the earthquake scene in a disaster movie, which was shocking.

Xia Daohua was startled, her heart skipped a beat and she woke up all of a sudden.

The sound of rain outside was louder than before, mixed with bursts of thunder, just like the rumbling of the sea tide.

Xia Daohua patted her chest and took several deep breaths. The pounding of her heart gradually subsided and returned to its normal rhythm.

She covered her cheeks with her hands, hoping sincerely that the dream she had just had was just a dream and did not have any warning meaning.

Otherwise, the ordinary people of the Great Chu Dynasty would suffer.

Xia Daohua couldn't sleep.

She turned over and over several times until Lihua was affected by her. She closed her eyes and reached out her hand to her, gently patting her waist and back. Only then did Xia Daohua dare not move anymore.

Lihua clapped twice and then stopped.

One hand was still on Xia Daohua's back, warm and cozy.

It was probably when Lihua was half asleep that she noticed Xia Daohua was not sleeping well, so she habitually raised her hand to pat her so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Xia Daohua knew that since she could remember, this little girl had been coaxed to sleep most of the time by her sister Lihua.

Lihua's method of coaxing her to sleep is to pat her body rhythmically, gently, again and again, to make her relax and feel at ease, and then she falls asleep unknowingly.

Xia Daohua opened her big eyes and looked at the beautiful sleeping face of Lihua for a long while.

I fell asleep before I knew it.

The next morning, when Xia Daohua got up, breakfast was ready. She didn't do any work. After washing up, she went straight to the table to eat.

Breakfast was prepared by Zhou Yunniang, the only granddaughter-in-law of the Xia family at that time.

Taohua, Xinghua, and Lihua all volunteered to help her. However, Zhou Yunniang was very capable and did not use the help of these sisters-in-law at all.

Zhou Yunniang steamed mixed flour steamed bread, which was crispy and soft;

I cooked rice grits porridge with kidney beans, and the kidney beans and rice grits were cooked until they bloomed;

Cut mustard greens and kohlrabi into shreds, steam them, and add a few drops of sesame oil to mix;

Finally, they roasted the red chili powder in an iron pan, added a spoonful of soybean paste, and dry-fried it.

When frying the chili sauce, even though no oil was added, it still smelled fragrant and was very tempting.

The whole family raved about this breakfast.

Especially the couple in the fourth room, they praised Erlang from the bottom of their hearts for being so lucky to have found a capable and skillful wife.

Old Master Xia and Mrs. Zhou have been eating the meals cooked by Zhou Yunniang for quite a few days. Seeing that the fourth roommate rarely came back, they also praised Zhou Yunniang like this. They had a bright expression on their faces and smiled so much that their eyes were almost squinting.

It seemed as if the people being praised were not their granddaughters-in-law, but themselves.

After a very harmonious breakfast, the fourth branch of the Xia family said goodbye.

The whole family is focused on making money and don't want to stay in this slum for long.

When I was leaving the house, I happened to see the landlord going out to empty the toilet.

The landlord saw the family talking and laughing, and then looked at the cool and clear yarn yarn they were wearing, and couldn't help but said sourly:

"If this person is lucky, it's really incomparable!

When I first arrived, it was so tattered and dilapidated, just like the place where migrant workers fled famine.

Now, all these people are shaking, such a nice house can't accommodate you!"

Shuliang yarn is also called Xiangyun yarn. In modern times, it is a relatively expensive fabric because of its purely handmade craftsmanship.

But Xia Daohua's supermarket happens to have a batch of them - she not only has potato yarn, but also blue and white batik cloth, colorful old coarse cloth, large and small bamboo root carvings, tree root carvings, colored stone carvings, woodblock prints, Yangliuqing folk paintings, clay figurines, dough figurines, Peking Opera masks and other traditional handicrafts.

The Great Chu Dynasty also had potato-grain yarn, but it was actually not more expensive than Shu brocade, kesi and the like.

The weather has been hot recently, so Xia Daohua took out a few pieces of cloth and made clothes for her family.
