At the foot of these mountains, in a depression, the southwest region is normally prone to mudslides and earthquakes.
Therefore, people generally don't dare to live in such places.
When there is too much rain, mudslides can cause houses to collapse and entire families to die. Therefore, people are even less likely to fight over such large plots of land.
Besides, Chen Yifei had asked from the beginning, and everyone refused. They hoped he would move it to some remote place so as not to affect anyone, so that everyone could save face.
So when Comrade Xiao Zhu went back, he always walked with a brisk pace.
"Comrade Chen Yifei, I feel, and I am even confident, that my first meritorious service in this southwestern border region will definitely be thanks to you."
"You have to live up to my expectations, and I will work hard too. When the time comes, we'll work together to make this a success, and it will be an achievement for both of us."
"I know." Chen Yifei nodded, extended his hand to him, and then the two shook hands. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
When Zhu Cankui arrived in this small place, he felt that there was no one he could connect with. But now, talking to Chen Yifei, he rediscovered the feeling of fighting alongside his comrades.
I believe that as long as I keep working hard, there will be endless hope, and everything will be worthwhile.
Chen Yifei said, "And our people, none of them understand the technology, so we hope Comrade Zhu will take extra care of them."
"Don't worry, doing this for you is also helping myself."
"At that time, we will definitely create a demonstration site."
"Um."
After saying that, Zhu Cankui hurried back to the commune: "I'm going to write materials and reports."
"By the way, those who are building greenhouses can get started now. The materials have already been approved, so we can start right away."
"Okay." Chen Yifei nodded, and he, along with Shuanzi and many other villagers, came to help.
The soil that needs to be hoeed should be hoeed, and the land that needs to be cleared should be cleared.
Next came the task of setting up the different sheds, determining the required area, all of which Comrade Zhu had tested and measured carefully with a steel ruler, then noted and marked.
The day was busy like this, and I was supposed to work until it was almost dark before I went home.
But who knew that the weather would turn against them?
Rumble-
The heavy rain began to fall.
At first it was just raindrops, but everyone realized something was wrong and started taking down the tarpaulins and other equipment.
After we put it away, it started raining heavily.
In late autumn, heavy rains like this don't really stop anytime soon. Everyone is busy going back to eat because they're starving. There's not much good food to eat here, and with rain and thunder everywhere, and trees all around, it's easy to get struck by lightning.
So I had no choice but to run back in the rain.
I was soaked when I got back.
Fortunately, when we got back, my wife had already prepared a hot meal, and the brothers who came to help were all invited in to eat.
He Runqing's hair was still half-dry when they were harvesting wheat in the brigade, and they were soaked to the bone.
They've changed into clean ones now.
When Chen Yifei returned, He Runqing took a dry towel and wiped him dry, starting from his head and working downwards.
When they reached the belly area, Chen Yifei took over and did it himself.
Then He Runqing found a clean shirt and pants. At this point, they probably didn't pay much attention, since there were only two people in the room, and they changed in front of He Runqing.
He Runqing quickly covered her eyes: "..."
"You...you don't uphold male virtues."
Chen Yifei laughed: "Wife, my back is covered in the marks of your little paws. Are you shy now?"
"Chen Yifei, stop talking!"
"Otherwise, you'll sleep on the floor tonight."
"Okay, okay, I was wrong."
As the two chatted and laughed, Chen Yifei finished dressing, smiled, and hugged his wife from behind, rubbing her lower abdomen with his hands.
"Honey, when do you think we should have a baby?"
"I don't know, definitely not now. They say having a child can cause nausea," He Runqing said earnestly, having already done her research.
"Alright, stop talking about that! Let's go out and eat! I made some delicious pork tenderloin tonight. I also learned how to make crispy pork from Mom, you should try it."
“I also plan to…” she said, as if she had mustered up her courage, “I also plan to try houttuynia cordata.”
Seeing Chen Yifei and the others eat it, she became extremely curious and even used it to mix with rice. Why did she want to try it too?
I hadn't been able to eat it several times before, but now I was determined to savor it carefully.
"And there's salted coriander, also known as coriander. I looked it up and it has a pretty strong flavor. I'm planning to try it all tonight. Humph, I'll make you stink to death when you go to bed tonight."
Chen Yifei quickly went out: "I'm so scared, I'll have to sleep on the floor alone tonight."
They came out chatting and laughing, and there was a wood-burning stove in the house.
Right now, a tea stove is hanging on the stove, boiling water with a gurgling sound. It's raining heavily outside, but at least it's much warmer inside.
Chen Xue found a basin to catch the leaking water.
As they sat together, Chen Jianguo sighed, "I don't know how long this rain will last, but tonight the damage won't be too great."
"If the rain continues all day tomorrow and the day after, the wheat harvest will never be finished."
Chen Yifei said, "There's no use worrying. This is God's doing. We farmers are just doing our jobs because God gave us food. If it really causes losses, there's nothing anyone can do."
"Don't worry about these things, just eat and drink well. That way you'll have the energy to deal with the aftermath."
He Runqing nodded, scooped a spoonful of stir-fried pork with red chili oil for Chen Yifei, and said, "Eat more!"
In return, Chen Yifei served his wife a piece of cold-dressed houttuynia cordata.
"Come on, honey, tell me what you want to eat."
"I'm keeping an eye on you tonight."
Zhang Cuizhi slapped Chen Yifei's chopsticks: "You little rascal, are you deliberately bullying your wife?"
He Runqing shook her head happily, revealing her cute dimples: "No!"
"I really want to try them all! I want to try everything you like!"
"Next time I'll make you pork rib rice cakes, as well as our famous glutinous rice cakes and flaky buns..."
He Runqing couldn't help but drool whenever she thought of these delicious foods.
Chen Yifei wiped away non-existent drool and said, "Look how much my wife is drooling."
Everyone laughed: "Brother Fei, we're all single, you make us so envious of you that we want to find wives! We're so jealous we could cry."
"You'll have plenty, but your sister-in-law is so wonderful, there's only one like her. Haha!"
"I married her."
He Runqing also held Chen Yifei's hand, looking like she was asserting her ownership: "Chen Yifei is the only one as good as me, and I... I've taken him away."
Everyone around was laughing nonstop.
The rain outside was getting heavier, but thankfully everyone at home was safe and there was no mudslide.
However, as Chen Jianguo looked at the rain outside the window, his mind grew heavier and heavier.
Judging by this, it looks like it's going to rain for several days. I really don't want to think about what will happen to the wheat in the fields then.
We also have to pay the grain tax, and there's everyone's harvest to take...
