Chapter 506 Rainy Night
Jiang Jie was already wet before he entered the house. When Xiao Luo rushed out, although he ran along the corridor, his clothes were still wet by the raindrops blown by the strong wind.
Rong Xianxian looked at the adult and the child chatting enthusiastically, and had to interrupt them reluctantly, reminding them to change their clothes before chatting.
Jiang Jie had just changed his clothes in his room and came to the main hall when Wang Lin and Chang Qing came back with Ming Tianlei and Ming Wei, father and daughter. Wang Lin, Chang Qing and Ming Tianlei were all soaked to the skin. Only Mingwei was wearing a raincoat and a strange leather hat on her head. Seeing Rong Xianxian looking at her, Mingwei laughed and pulled the hat off.
If Mingwei wasn't in the period and couldn't be exposed to the rain, she would never have worn such an ugly thing.
It was not a coincidence that the four of them came back together. Seeing that the weather was bad and knowing that Ming Tianlei and Ming Wei had gone to the exchange in the east to select materials for refining equipment, Wang Lin and Chang Qing found the exchange at the same time and escorted the two back.
The four of them said hello to Rong Xianxian and went back to their rooms.
"Ajie, the rain is so heavy, won't it have any impact on the construction site?" Rong Xianxian looked at the heavy rain and thunder outside, feeling a little worried.
"It's okay, Sister Rong. The ground building has been completed long ago. The walls are mainly made of bluestone. They are made of a whole piece of bluestone. Considering the stability of the wall structure, it is specially treated to be shockproof, windproof and rainproof. Not to mention just rain, we are not afraid even of earthquakes."
The ground buildings there were planned by professionally qualified architects from the official engineering department and built by a professional construction team. Jiang Jie was mainly responsible for dispatching building materials and supervising the construction process. Of course, in this process, he also learned a lot of construction knowledge, which was of great help to him in the construction of underground projects.
Rong Xianxian nodded. "How's the drainage over there? Will there be any accumulation of water?"
"No, Sister Rong, you haven't visited recently. Our District 9 has the best underground drainage system in the entire outer city. What's more, we are not far from the river that runs through the city. No matter how heavy the rain is, there will be no water accumulation." Jiang Jie said confidently.
No matter what the situation is over there now, in this kind of weather, they have no other choice but to stay at home to avoid the rain. I wonder how Qingyun is doing now?
Rong Xianxian asked all kinds of questions and didn't want to leave herself idle, because once she had free time, she couldn't help but think of him. This uncontrollable feeling made her feel uncomfortable.
After living two lives, I thought I had seen through the world, but who would have thought that I would encounter the current situation.
Looking at the time, it was almost time for dinner. It had just started to rain heavily, and the aunt who was supposed to help with cooking could not come. On weekdays, everyone was busy practicing, handling official business, and studying. Perhaps because of the bad weather, no one stayed in their rooms. They all gathered in the hall in a daze, looking like they had a rare leisure time.
This kind of weather seems to be particularly suitable for drinking and playing cards. Rong Xianxian had just suffered an assassination attempt during the day, so she did not dare to be careless. She put on her raincoat and checked inside and out. The formation set up by Ning Qingyun here was operating normally and was not affected by the heavy rain.
Jiang Jie set up detours and traps around the house. The locations were secretive and the main bodies were mostly hidden underground, so there was no problem.
When Rong Xianxian returned to the hall, everyone was looking at her eagerly. Looking at the time, it was time for dinner. The dry firewood used for cooking had long been soaked in water. Rong Xianxian went back to her room and took out the gas stove that had not been used for a long time. A new gas tank was placed in the gas stove.
There are officially planned farms and vegetable greenhouses outside the capital's safety zone. Fresh vegetables are supplied to the city every day. Although they are expensive, in most cases, you can buy them as long as you have money.
Rong Xianxian's misty space has all the fresh vegetables available on the market. She pretends to purchase vegetables almost every few days, ostensibly to avoid affecting the child's growth and development. However, this leaves the impression that she is picky and extravagant about food on the cook's auntie.
At the beginning, the aunt would advise her to buy less so that she could make just for the children. If she bought too much, the food would go bad if they were not eaten, which was a waste. Rong Xianxian turned a deaf ear to her. Over time, the aunt gradually got used to it.
Rong Xianxian instructed Jiang Jie to get vegetable meatballs and the like from the refrigerator in the kitchen, and Ming Tianlei went to help prepare ingredients such as potatoes, sweet potatoes and winter melons.
Rong Xianxian took out a double-flavored hot pot, turned on the fire and boiled a pot of water. After the water boiled, she put two different hot pot bases into the pot.
Apart from occasionally preparing meals for the children, Rong Xianxian hadn't cooked for a long time, and she didn't know what to cook for a moment. With so many people gathered together, it would be most convenient to eat hotpot.
On weekdays, everyone is busy, and at mealtime they eat whatever the kitchen auntie cooks. Today, everyone is having a lively time, gathering together to eat hotpot, which is quite fun.
After dinner and chatting for a while, Rong Xianxian asked everyone to rest and then took the children back to the room.
Rong Xianxian asked about the two children's situation in school and briefly checked the lessons they had learned. She found that the children had made great progress in literacy, arithmetic and basic knowledge. It turned out that sending them to school was more efficient than studying at home. After all, Rong Xianxian was very busy on weekdays.
The sound of rain outside never stopped. After reviewing their homework, Xuanxuan and Xiaoluo went to bed. The brother and sister's room was only separated from Rong Xianxian by a door. Before going to bed, Xuanxuan was still muttering that she wondered if her father could pick her up from school tomorrow.
Rong Xianxian inevitably thought of him again.
"Knock, knock, knock." Three rhythmic sounds came from outside the window, clearly reflected in her ears amid the chaotic sounds of wind and rain.
Rong Xianxian opened the window, and Ning Qingyun turned over and jumped in lightly, with water droplets on his body dripping onto the ground.
"How did you get here in this kind of weather?" Rong Xianxian asked in surprise.
"Didn't you tell me to come find you after I'm done with my work?" Ning Qingyun looked at her and smiled gently.
"I didn't expect it would rain suddenly today. Never mind, let's not talk about this anymore. Go to the bathroom and take a shower and change your clothes!" Although I know that as a cultivator, it won't be a problem even if it rains, but I still feel uncomfortable with my wet body.
Ning Qingyun originally only needed to mobilize the black fire in his body to evaporate all the water vapor from his body, but when he looked at his tight night clothes, he thought it was quite convenient to move, but it was a bit too rigid.
Thinking of this, he obediently went into the bathroom.
Being together on a rainy night with his beloved was a beautiful thing that made him yearn for.
