Chapter 99: Rain Disaster
The rainstorm was very serious. Not only did many people have no food to eat, but they even lost their homes.
But in her previous life, she was in Ankang Village at this time, and had not yet married Shen Nanfeng.
Because she refused to give in at that time, Shen Chengyuan targeted her and deliberately sent her to the mountain to collect firewood.
Also that day, it suddenly rained heavily and she was trapped on the mountain. Fortunately, she found a cave halfway up the mountain. Relying on the supplies in the cave, she survived until she was rescued.
There is still one and a half months left.
There is no rush to stock up, as she has plenty in her warehouse.
Just as I was worrying, I heard some noise downstairs in the yard.
It’s Zhong Xuexi who’s back.
She stood at the door and talked to Zhao Huaian, who even touched her head. It was rare for her not to get angry, and she even looked a little shy.
Lin Ziqiu's lips curled slightly, it seemed that they were about to get married.
When she went downstairs, she saw Zhong Xuexi making a fire.
"It's really cold this year. It's not even December yet, but it feels like it's going to snow." She rubbed her hands and cut the firewood.
Seeing her shivering, Lin Ziqiu wanted to take out the electric stove right away, but what a pity.
"Do you have a lot of classes recently? The New Year is coming soon, let's go buy some New Year's goods."
Now it’s just the two of them at home, “The day after tomorrow, I wonder if grandma and my sister will come back to celebrate the New Year.”
"Tell them not to come back."
Lin Ziqiu's subconscious words made Zhong Xuexi suspicious, "Why?"
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Lin Ziqiu quickly tried to make amends: "It's so cold, and it's too tiring to go back and forth. I'm afraid grandma can't handle it."
Zhong Xuexi disagreed, "You are underestimating her. Our grandma takes the Chinese New Year very seriously. Even the cold weather can't stop her from celebrating the New Year."
Lin Ziqiu smiled and said, "Everyone likes reunion days, so let's prepare the New Year's goods first, so that grandma can feel more relaxed when she comes back."
Zhong Xuexi nodded, agreeing with her words, "There is one more thing. Before my brother left, he asked me to take some time to check on Zhong Zhiyang. He is not at home, and he is afraid that something might go wrong."
"But my school is too far away, and your hotel is close. If you have time, please help me take a look."
Lin Ziqiu understood in her heart, and thought that Zhong Heyang did not tell her about this matter probably because of her special status and he was afraid of causing trouble for her, so he went to Zhong Xuexi.
But he probably didn't expect that his younger sister was so careless and didn't care about so many details, so he entrusted the matter to her.
"good."
Lin Ziqiu was in a very good mood. She didn't care about Zhong Zhiyang's affairs. "You and Zhao Huaian have been getting close recently, huh?"
Hearing this, Zhong Xuexi looked away guiltily and coughed twice: "Hasn't he always been a follower?"
Lin Ziqiu saw through her restraint and said meaningfully, "Don't let him wait too long."
Zhong Xuexi choked and looked at her in surprise. Did she know that Zhao Huaian liked her?
No wonder Zhao Huaian always called Lin Ziqiu "sister-in-law" whenever he saw her, more affectionately than calling her his sister-in-law.
Without waiting for her to react, Lin Ziqiu turned around and poured hot water.
Zhong Xuexi felt her face burning, and she had a guilty feeling of being caught in a premature love affair by her elders, even though she had not yet agreed to be with Zhao Huaian!
How strange.
···
The next day was Friday, and Jiang Lin would also go to the store.
Lin Ziqiu was waiting for him in the store early. Previously, Tian Xiaobo was in charge of the settlement work every Monday, but now it fell on Lin Ziqiu.
When she handed the bill to Jiang Lin, she added, "Uncle Jiang, the New Year is coming soon. Have you prepared any New Year's goods at home?"
"It's not even the twelfth lunar month yet! There's no rush for New Year's goods." Jiang Lin smiled, "Are you looking forward to the New Year? This year is different from previous years. You're married, so you have to spend the New Year at your husband's house. Otherwise, call Uncle Li and come to my house to have some fun."
Lin Ziqiu was a little worried at first, but after hearing what he said, she immediately had an idea, "Why don't you all come to my house to celebrate the New Year this year!"
"Compound? That's inappropriate!"
Jiang Lin has a daughter at home, so it would be inappropriate for him to go to someone else's house during the New Year.
Lin Ziqiu was at his wit's end. "What's inappropriate about this? My grandma is very hospitable. Isn't the New Year supposed to be lively and festive? And I haven't celebrated the New Year with my grandpa before. I'll cook for you and make you a full banquet!"
"Great, great! I want to go!" Tian Xiaofeng, who was standing by, heard it and immediately raised his hand first.
Tian Gui laughed and scolded: "You little bastard, you are just greedy!"
"How can I miss Sister Xiaoqiu's cooking skills! If I could eat the dishes cooked by Sister Xiaoqiu during the Chinese New Year, I can't even imagine how happy I would be!" Tian Xiaofeng is indeed Lin Ziqiu's number one fan.
"Okay, everyone come, Xiaofeng will help me then."
At this time, Mr. Li appeared in the store without knowing when. He walked towards Lin Ziqiu step by step with a cane, "It's useless for you to make the decision on this matter. Does your grandmother know?"
Lin Ziqiu scratched his head. "I haven't had the time to tell her yet. She's still in the capital and hasn't come back yet. But my grandma is a very kind person. There will be absolutely no problem with this."
In Mr. Li's opinion, it is one thing that Lin Ziqiu's in-laws treat her well, but one cannot take other people's kindness for granted.
He hopes that his granddaughter will know when to advance and when to retreat, and know her limits.
After all, Lin Ziqiu had lived through two lives, so she could understand what her grandfather said. "Don't worry, grandpa. I will definitely make arrangements."
It would indeed be inappropriate if so many people went to the Zhong family during the New Year.
It would be nice to have a house of my own.
But her current savings are not enough for her to buy a house.
Jiang Lin sympathized with her for having to work intensively during this period, so he called Tian Gui and divided them into two shifts. Tian Gui chose the evening shift.
Lin Ziqiu left at two o'clock in the afternoon.
These days, Zhong Xuexi went to and from get off work with Zhao Huaian, so the bicycle at home was used by Lin Ziqiu. She did not rush home, but rode her bicycle to Zhong Zhiyang's place.
She grew up in the city, and this place is close to the machinery factory, so Lin Ziqiu is very familiar with it.
There were not many people in the alley at this time. The young people were all working outside, and the only ones left at home were the elderly and children.
When winter comes, most people leave their doors open and stay at home to warm themselves by the fire.
Zhong Xuexi had already told her the detailed address before coming.
The house that Zhong Zhiyang rented was at the deepest part of the alley. Before Lin Ziqiu arrived, he could hear a quarrel from afar.
"Get out! Get out of here!"
The neighbors seemed accustomed to this situation, and only two or three mothers-in-law ran out of their houses to watch the fun.
"Girl, are you here to look for someone?"
Lin Ziqiu didn't want to reveal his identity, so he thought of an excuse, "No, I want to rent a house here."
"There are quite a few vacant rooms here, but you must not rent the one next to that one." The old woman pointed at the one that Zhong Zhiyang rented. "That family quarrels every other day, sometimes even till late at night!"
