As the captain spoke, he picked up the raincoat hanging behind the door, put it on quickly, and strode out of the house.
Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao followed closely behind, put on raincoats, and hurried towards the cowshed.
When the few people arrived, the thatched hut of the cowshed had already started to leak violently. The team leader's face suddenly changed and he hurried in.
Seeing that everyone was fine, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The team leader walked up to Mr. Shen and said, "Old man, you two should go with these educated youths and make do with them. If you continue living in this cowshed, something bad might happen."
Mr. Shen pretended not to know Shen Yuandao and Su Mianmian, with a look of panic on his face, “Captain, this won’t do, we will cause trouble for these children.”
The captain felt sad when he heard this. It was this era that harmed people. These people had originally made contributions to the country, but now they had to live here.
The captain took Mr. Shen's hand and said, "Grandpa, please don't be polite. With me in the village, no one dares to speak nonsense."
After saying this, the captain looked at Su Xinzhang and Yan Tongchun again, motioning them to talk.
Su Xinzhi and Yan Tongchun looked at each other without saying anything.
The captain's face darkened. "Old man, if you don't go with these two educated youths, and something happens, our Sanyang Brigade's reputation will be ruined."
Mr. Shen looked hesitant, and Mrs. Shen patted Mr. Shen's arm and said, "Old Shen, let's listen to the captain and not cause trouble for him."
Only then did Mr. Shen nod.
The captain immediately smiled and said, "Okay, old man, let's go now. The rain is getting heavier and heavier. We may not be able to leave later."
Old Master Shen sat on the bed in the thatched hut. He nodded slightly and glanced at Su Xinzhang and Yan Tongchun.
"Xinzhang, Tongchun, you two go and get ready, we have to leave as soon as possible." Old Master Shen ordered.
Su Xinzhang and Yan Tongchun exchanged a glance and immediately understood. They grabbed their wives' shoulders, turned around, and returned to their rooms, where they began to pack their bags.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao also took quick action.
They were young and energetic, and they skillfully helped Mr. and Mrs. Shen organize clothes and daily necessities.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, pouring down like a bucket of water. At the same time, there was thunder and lightning flashed across the night sky from time to time.
The flash of lightning and the roar of thunder intertwined together, making people feel scared.
After a busy period of packing, everyone's luggage has been packed.
Mr. and Mrs. Shen put on the raincoats handed to them by Su Mianmian and Shen Yuandao.
The captain didn't say anything when he saw this, but nodded in agreement to the two of them. The old man and the old woman were too old to withstand the hardship.
Afterwards, Su Mianmian and the others, along with Su Xinzhang, Yan Tongchun, and their wives, put on makeshift straw raincoats. Although the raincoats were simple, they could provide some protection from the heavy rain.
The captain supported Mr. Shen, Shen Yuandao supported Mrs. Shen, and Su Mianmian walked side by side with the other four.
The four of them did not communicate with each other through eye contact or words, for fear that the captain would notice something.
Fortunately, the Yun family was not far from the cowshed. Even though the muddy dirt road outside became extremely difficult to walk on due to the heavy rain, Shen Yuandao and the others quickly brought the group to the Yun family.
Shen Yuandao first brought the three men into his house, and Su Mianmian stepped forward to support Old Lady Shen and walked step by step towards the threshold of the Yun family.
The captain followed closely behind, knowing that this matter needed to be explained clearly to Yun Shu, the host.
Su Mianmian stood in front of the door, ready to knock. However, at this moment, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to tell Yun Shu about this matter in advance. She couldn't help feeling a little uneasy. What if the secret was exposed?
She knocked on the door gently, but perhaps because the thunder was too loud, Yun Shu didn't hear it.
Su Mianmian had no choice but to use a little more force and knocked hard again.
This time, Yun Shu finally heard the knock on the door, and she walked out quickly and opened the door.
When she saw the person standing outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She looked at Su Mianmian calmly.
"Mianmian, what is this?"
Before Su Mianmian could answer, the captain spoke first:
"An An's mother, let's go inside and talk. The rain is really too heavy, and the old lady can't handle it."
Yun Shu nodded slightly and made way, "Yes, yes, come in quickly."
After entering the house, Yun Shu was busy pouring brown sugar water for everyone. She walked up to everyone with the brown sugar water and said with a smile, "Mianmian, what's wrong?"
The captain took the brown sugar water and drank it in big gulps. He wiped his mouth with his hand, smacked his lips and continued talking.
"Well, the cowshed is no longer habitable, so I'll have to put these three comrades up with you for now."
Yun Shu raised an eyebrow after hearing this, looked at the captain and said slowly:
"Captain, you know there's no man in my family. An An is my apple of the eye. If people knew that I was in contact with the people in the bullpen, what would An An and I do?"
The captain lowered his head and said nothing. Yun Shu knew that she couldn't pretend too much, so she said, "But there is a place to stay. I'm just worried about us mother and daughter..." She paused deliberately, as if she was choosing her words.
The captain immediately understood Yun Shu's concerns and quickly explained, "Don't worry about that. When the rain subsides, I'll go door to door to notify everyone and help find other accommodations. I won't put you in any trouble."
After hearing this, Yun Shu frowned slightly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Old Lady Shen looked at the captain and whispered, "Captain, why don't we go to the cowshed?"
