After hearing the captain's words, Su Mianmian's worries instantly dissipated. She looked at the captain, her eyes filled with gratitude and admiration. "Uncle Captain, you are such a good person." As she spoke, she gave him a thumbs up.
The captain looked at Su Mianmian's actions and couldn't help laughing. He patted Su Mianmian on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you should go home soon."
Su Mianmian nodded and followed Su Qingqing back.
After returning home, they were tired after a day of washing and went to bed.
………………*
The next day, the sky outside the window was still gray and it was drizzling.
After waking up, Su Mianmian sat up and listened carefully to the sound of rain outside, her brows slightly furrowed. Why was it still drizzling? She was filled with confusion.
Did the plot change?
It's possible.
After all, didn’t the original male and female protagonists follow the Sanyang Brigade?
Never mind, the food has been collected anyway, but she has to go to the cowshed at noon.
Su Qingqing, who was sleeping beside her, looked dazed. Seeing Su Mianmian sitting on the kang, she said in a daze, "Mianmian, what time is it? We should go to work." There was a hint of sleepiness in her voice.
After hearing her voice, Su Mianmian gently lay down and turned over, looking at the hazy sky outside the window, and replied softly:
"Go to sleep, it's still raining."
After hearing this, Su Qingqing slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
After a long time, the two were frightened by the sudden thunder and sat up suddenly, their hearts pounding.
Outside the window, flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, illuminating the dark sky, and thunder rumbled.
Su Mianmian quickly stood up and began to put on her clothes.
She looked at her watch and found it was just past eight o'clock.
It was almost time, and Su Mianmian was about to get dressed and get up, but she heard Su Yanshu crying outside, followed by a knock on the door. Su Mianmian couldn't help but speed up her dressing.
She hurriedly opened the door and saw Yun Shu wearing a raincoat, standing at the door protecting the two little ones.
Raindrops dripped down the brim of the raincoat, but Yunshu had a gentle smile on her face.
Su Mianmian picked up her crying little brother and said to Yun Shu, "Auntie Shu, An'an, come in."
"Ayan woke up and cried looking for you, so I brought the little guy here." Yun Shu said as he walked into the house.
Su Qingqing also put on her clothes while Su Mianmian opened the door.
Several people sat around in the room, listening to the thunder rumbling outside.
Su Mianmian held Su Yanshu in her arms and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
She looked up at the raindrops falling outside the window. Su Mianmian listened to the sound of raindrops hitting the window, and her uneasiness became stronger.
She thought of the people in the cowshed and wondered how they were doing. She couldn't help but worry about their safety.
Su Mianmian took a deep breath, looked at Yun Shu and Su Qingqing, and said with a hint of determination in her voice, "I want to go to the cowshed. Looking at the rain, if it gets heavier soon, it would be bad if something happened in the cowshed."
Yun Shu also remembered the situation in the bullpen. His expression changed slightly, and he said worriedly, "Can I go with you?"
Su Mianmian shook her head gently and comforted Yun Shu, "No need, Aunt Shu. You and Qingqing stay and take care of the two little ones. I'll be back soon."
After saying this, seeing that the two agreed, Su Mianmian settled Su Yanshu for a few words, then put on the raincoat handed to her by Yun Shu, tightened her collar, and prepared to go out.
Seeing this, Yun Shu hurriedly called out, "Mian Mian, go next door and call A Yuan. I'll feel more at ease if you two go together."
"Okay!" Su Mianmian responded and turned to leave the Yun family.
After walking a few steps, she saw Shen Yuandao walking towards her. His tall figure looked particularly upright in the rain, with his usual calm expression on his face.
"Chen Zhiqing?" Su Mianmian shouted in surprise.
Shen Yuandao strode over and said in a low voice: “Well, let’s go to the cowshed together.”
Su Mianmian felt warm in her heart, and looked at Shen Yuandao gratefully: "I was just about to call you, let's go!"
The two walked side by side towards the cowshed. Because it was still raining, and the rain was heavier than in the morning, the dirt road was already bumpy and full of potholes, with water pooling.
Su Mianmian was worried about the situation in the cowshed and didn't pay attention to her feet for a moment. Suddenly, she slipped and lost her balance.
Shen Yuandao was quick-witted and grabbed Su Mianmian's arm, holding her waist steadily: "Be careful!" he warned in a low voice.
"Okay... okay." Su Mianmian was very nervous and quickly broke free from his arms.
"Let's go quickly." After saying that, she left Shen Yuandao and walked forward. This time, she paid attention to her feet, fearing that she would fall.
Shen Yuandao glanced at the receding figure, laughed out loud, and then strode to keep up with her pace.
After the two arrived at the cowshed, Su Mianmian called out, "Dad, Mom."
Seeing no one responding, the two went into the cowshed. Su Mianmian found her parents' house and found no one there.
Su Mianmian was a little anxious, so she went to Yan Tongchun and his house, but found that no one was there.
The two of them walked to Mr. Shen's room and saw that everyone was in the room. They couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mianmian, Ayuan, why are you two here?" Old Mrs. Shen asked after seeing the two of them.
“Grandma Shen, Shen Zhiqing and I came to see if you are okay.” Su Mianmian walked into the house.
"Mom and Dad, Uncle Yan and Aunt Jiang, why are you all here? I went to those two houses just now, but I didn't see you. I was scared to death." Su Mianmian looked at everyone else.
Wen Yuexian took her daughter's hand and sighed, "Alas! Our house and your Aunt Jiang's is leaking, so we had no choice but to come to your Grandma Shen and Grandpa Shen's house."
Su Mianmian frowned. The cowshed was indeed simple, almost a small thatched hut. It would be strange if it didn't leak.
Su Mianmian looked at Shen Yuandao with a questioning look, what should I do?
Shen Yuandao received her eye signal and began to ponder.
Old Mrs. Shen looked at the expression on the two of them and gave her grandson a thumbs up in her heart.
Shen Xinzhang was different. Seeing his precious daughter flirting with a brat, he secretly glared at Shen Yuandao several times.
Under the pressure of his future father-in-law, Shen Yuandao gritted his teeth and said, "How about we talk to the team leader? Just say that the cowshed is leaking, and it would be bad if they get sick in the rain."
Su Mianmian didn't understand, "What do you mean?"
"That's it. The team leader has to find a place for them, but there are no vacant houses in the village. I don't think anyone would be willing to stay with other farmers. So they can just stay at my house. The villagers will have to thank us for solving their problem."
Su Mianmian's eyes lit up, "Yes! This is a good idea."
"But...if the captain asks us how we know the situation in the cowshed, what should we tell him?" Shen Yuandao hesitated for a moment and continued.
