After dinner, it was still early, but it was raining outside, so Xu Jiaojiao couldn't go anywhere and had to go back to the house.
The sky was gloomy and the room was dark.
There are more mosquitoes on rainy days.
As soon as she entered the door, Xu Jiaojiao's exposed arm was attacked.
The mosquitoes here are colorful and their bites are extremely itchy.
Frowning, she turned and walked to the table and took out her homemade "mosquito coil".
Just as I was about to go to the kitchen to light mosquito coils, I was stopped by someone.
"I'll have some."
Looking at the man blocking the door, Xu Jiaojiao felt helpless.
But she didn't argue with him and just handed the mosquito coil over.
After he left, Xu Jiaojiao walked to her bed again.
Just as I was about to go up, I saw a bag on it.
The style of the bag was exactly what Qin Shuo bought during the day.
After a pause, she picked up the bag and walked towards the folding bed.
Just as I was about to put it down, I heard a man's voice behind me.
"I bought this for you."
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
From the shape of the bag, you can tell it's filled with cloth without even opening it.
Somehow, my heart felt a little sour.
Xu Jiaojiao suppressed the strange emotion in her heart.
She turned around and said to him, "Thank you, but no thanks, I don't need anything."
Hearing this, Qin Shuo frowned slightly.
"You are my wife, it is my duty to buy things for you."
The word "daughter-in-law" carries with it an indescribable meaning.
Combined with his deep voice, Xu Jiaojiao just felt her ears itchy.
The heartbeat that had been suppressed became somewhat out of control again.
The bag in my hand felt like a hot potato.
"I…"
What kind of daughter-in-law is she?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of blockage in my heart.
No matter how slow-witted Xu Jiaojiao was, she understood what she felt towards the man in front of her.
But the more I understand, the more tormented I feel.
"You don't have to feel burdened. Just think of it as the ginseng money I gave you last time."
Xu Jiaojiao: ...
That’s what I said, but how can I accept his kindness with peace of mind when I know it will not lead to any result?
"sorry!"
Xu Jiaojiao was extremely regretful at this moment. Why did she listen to the system and provoke him?
She lowered her eyes, not daring to look at the man, and firmly placed the bag on his bed.
As soon as the bag was put down, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant.
Xu Jiaojiao felt like she couldn't breathe.
But my heart became more and more determined.
While the damage is still small, everyone retreats to their original positions.
Looking at her resolute back, Qin Shuo's originally happy heart fell to the bottom again.
The door frame he was holding on to had several fingerprints on it.
The hand, which originally had distinct joints, was now full of exposed veins.
At night, they each went back to their own beds.
Just like when Xu Jiaojiao just woke up, the relationship returned to the starting point.
In fact, it's even colder than at the beginning.
Lying on the bed, Xu Jiaojiao's thoughts began to empty again.
I don't even know when the system left.
In my mind, one moment he was the one clumsily coaxing people, and the next moment he was the one silently shielding me from the rain.
Xu Jiaojiao's fair hands clenched into fists unconsciously.
I didn't even feel my fingertips sinking into my palms.
Biting her lip tightly, she suppressed the confusion in her heart.
Finally, I forced myself to open the book I opened yesterday.
After reading just a few pages, Xu Jiaojiao was shocked.
Even the discomfort she had just felt was thrown behind her.
It turns out this is a book on acupuncture.
The books were given out some time ago, and she memorized them all by heart.
This time, Xu Jiaojiao also did not seek to understand it in detail, but just wrote down the contents.
She flipped the pages fairly quickly, but even so, by the time she finished, it was already midnight.
Xu Jiaojiao had been tense for several hours, and as soon as she relaxed, she felt very sleepy.
She yawned, turned over and fell asleep.
The next day, before Xu Jiaojiao woke up, she heard the team's broadcast.
She was so half asleep that she didn't hear clearly what the captain said.
But after a while, there were knocks on the door.
"Jiaojiao, get up quickly, emergency assembly!"
Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly woke up.
"Coming right up!"
As she said this, she hurriedly climbed out of the bed.
The hair had become extremely smooth and was tied up with just a comb of the fingers.
Just put on a set of clothes, pick up your toiletries and go out.
The speed was so fast that it was no different from other people’s military training.
Ding Xiujing, who had just called someone and walked to the kitchen door, was stunned by her efficiency!
But she didn't think much about it and just said one sentence.
"Remember to take the hoe. We will dig ditches to drain the water from the fields."
"Oh, I see."
Xu Jiaojiao said this without hesitation. She squatted beside the water tank and quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face.
"Jiaojiao, where is the third brother?"
Wang Fengmei, who had just come back from picking vegetables, saw Xu Jiaojiao brushing her teeth and asked.
Hearing this, Xu Jiaojiao paused with the toothbrush in her hand, then rinsed her mouth, and then said calmly: "I just woke up and didn't see it."
"Oh, that's fine. Hurry up and don't let the water drown the rice seedlings."
Wang Fengmei didn't say anything, just gave one instruction.
Under the eaves, Liu Zhaodi started to make indirect accusations again.
Sanni, who was being scolded by her, lowered her little head and dared not say a word.
"Mom, I'll take Sanni to catch insects for the chickens." Dani said, and pulled her away.
I heard Liu Zhaodi cursing from behind.
But Dani seemed to have come to her senses. She grabbed the person and ran away, not letting her scold.
Looking at the two sisters, Xu Jiaojiao smiled with relief.
Sure enough, after a while, Liu Zhaodi packed up her things and hurried out.
How can I have time to curse?
Xu Jiaojiao didn't waste any time. She packed up quickly, put on her hat, and followed Ding Xiujing out.
It was still raining and there was water everywhere on the ground.
There were already many people standing at the gathering point in the distance, and people were rushing towards it from all directions.
Everyone looked unhappy.
This horrible weather, does it mean there is no chance for us to survive?
The two sisters-in-law also looked a little heavy. One of them carried a hoe and followed the team, hurriedly heading to the assembly point.
As soon as I arrived at the assembly point, I saw the captain standing on a high place with a very solemn expression on his face.
Seeing that most people had arrived, he said:
"Comrades, it has been raining heavily for two consecutive days. Our rice fields are about to be flooded. Today, we are organizing everyone to..."
Xu Jiaojiao had just heard from Ding Xiujing that this was just a formality.
After being here for two months, she naturally knew how important food was to people today.
Don't dare to take it lightly and wait for the task to be assigned. Xu Jiaojiao followed the crowd and walked towards the field.
But before I got there, I ran into the man who had disappeared early in the morning.
Looking at the figure coming towards her, Xu Jiaojiao's heart unconsciously lifted.
But when I saw that there was no expression on his face, I didn't know what to feel.
Maybe he'll be able to let it go soon?
After all, no man can easily let go of the things the original owner did in the previous life.
"Jiaojiao, hurry up."
“Here it comes!”
