Chapter 250 Heavy Rain
The Xia family naturally saw what Mr. Feng was thinking and thought it was very natural.
As the saying goes, no matter how beautiful the water of your hometown is, it’s the water of your hometown; no matter how close you are, it’s the people of your hometown.
Since we are from the same village, the best strategy is to stick together when we are outside. Helping each other is what we should do.
Of course, there is some good news.
Under the instigation of Jiang's eldest sister-in-law, Jiang's family packed up the valuable gold and silver in the house, leisurely boarded the ship of a familiar merchant, and sailed away at a very fast speed.
While others were still hesitating and had not made up their minds to leave, they had already fled towards Ping'an County.
Cheng's family members were also quick to act.
They traveled by land, but they had already set out before the letter was sent.
There was no news from Sun's family and Wu's family. They had not thought of sending a letter to their daughters who were far away. Sun and Wu's eyes were red after hearing the letters from Jiang and Cheng's family.
Sun's tears were already falling, and not only were they falling, she was also wailing:
"Wuwuwu... Mom, Mom, I'm so sorry... Why didn't I think of asking you to go with us!"
However, Mrs. Wu tried hard to hold back her tears and refused to cry in front of others.
Zhou couldn't help but scold Sun:
"Second brother, hold back those two drops of cat urine!
Why are you cursing your in-laws when nothing has happened yet? Maybe they have already escaped to a safe place, and it's just that the letter I sent to you was delayed on the way!
Your in-laws are all doing well, why are you so sad? Aren't you afraid of bringing bad luck to them?"
Zhou's tone was extremely impatient, but Sun seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw. She stopped sobbing and looked at Zhou expectantly.
It was as if Zhou's words were an imperial decree, and everyone in her family was in perfect order, without missing a single hair.
Others also began to comfort Sun.
Wu snorted and turned to walk out.
Zhou said nothing, but just sighed deeply.
Escaping from famine, how could it be so easy?
What’s more, what they were fleeing from was not famine, but war which was more terrible than famine.
When you are born in troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass. It is better to be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.
These words condense the blood and tears of so many people, even so many families!
Everyone was in a low mood.
Xia Daohua looked at the solemn faces of the crowd and couldn't help but interrupt:
"We have to clean up these rooms, otherwise our relatives will have nowhere to stay when they come. In addition, we have to find time to go to the brokerage office and find a few more suitable houses. If they want to rent a house, won't it save us the trouble?
This letter has been on the road for more than a month, right? I guess they should be arriving soon."
The topic naturally changed. Zhou's expression relaxed a lot. Jiang seemed to have been reminded and was a little excited. Cheng's eyes were full of admiration for Xia Daohua.
The more Cheng observed, the more he liked the summer rice flowers.
Compared with his peers, this child is sometimes very bold and eccentric.
It was as if the person living in her shell was not a delicate young lady, but a young man, or even a bold and naughty monkey.
But most of the time, this little girl is surprisingly reliable.
It would be a good idea to let Liulang and Daohua learn more from her!
The family had not seen each other for many days. Apart from talking about the news from their hometown letters, discussing whether the war would affect Pyeongan County, they also chatted about family matters.
The women have rolled up their sleeves, washed their hands, and started preparing for dinner that evening.
The family finally got together, although not all the people were there yet, it was already quite a rare occasion. So Zhou decided to make dumplings and cook a few dishes.
Zhou carefully cut a piece of the Jinhua ham that Xia Daohua brought, preparing to make pickled pork with preserved vegetables and dried bamboo shoots. She hung the rest on the eaves.
Xia Daohua told her not to be stingy and to eat when she was hungry, and she would bring more when she was done.
Zhou just smiled and declined:
"Oh, please don't do that. Don't eat too much delicious food. If you eat too much at once, it won't taste sweet next time."
Seeing Zhou's smiling face, Xia Daohua did not insist anymore.
Anyway, she was paying attention to it. If the old couple was missing anything, she would find out and fill it in time.
It took more than half an hour to finish this meal.
After dinner, Xia Daohua originally planned to go back to the store.
It is her habit to keep accounts, check inventory and replenish shelves every day.
However, not long after the meal, it started to rain outside.
At first, Xia Daohua planned to go out directly and get an umbrella outside. However, Jiang and others stopped her and did not let her go out, saying that the young lady could not stand the rain or the cold.
Xia Daohua thought about it and realized that it made sense. Being caught in the rain and cold was indeed very bad for a girl's health. The medical level in this time and space was not very advanced, so it was better to be cautious.
However, Xia Daohua couldn't help but feel a little emotional when she saw the nervous Jiang:
If it were two years ago, or even earlier, they probably wouldn't have thought of this at all.
If a child gets caught in the rain, as long as they don't catch a cold or have a fever, they won't take it seriously. If they can make a bowl of ginger soup for their child, they are considered to be considerate parents.
After all, only when you have a high income and are confident enough can you be qualified to be particular.
The drizzle soon grew heavier, and the wind also grew stronger, making a crackling sound, as if it was blowing something into the eaves, doors and windows, making a crackling sound.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the sky was dark, the kind of black where you couldn't see your hand in front of you. The moon and stars that would appear on a clear night, the halo that would appear on a cloudy night, and the faint light that would shine through the clouds were all gone.
That night, Xia Daohua and several children from the fourth room, except Wulang, all stayed in the slum.
The couple in the fourth room and Lihua, Linghua and Zaohua all went to bed early, but Xia Daohua couldn't sleep.
She quietly entered the space and checked her food shelves.
The product variety is rich and fresh, and most importantly, this area, like most areas of the supermarket, is refreshed instantly every 24 hours.
No matter how much things Xia Daohua took away, the shelves would still be filled up the next day, leaving no empty space for her.
Xia Daohua looked at these dozen kinds of grains with satisfaction, thinking that these things would come in handy when necessary.
She came out of the space and found that the sound of rain outside the window was getting louder.
The blackness of the sky had faded a little, and now some faint lights could be seen.
Xia Daohua gently opened the window and looked out. A lot of water had accumulated on the ground outside.
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow. (づ￣ 3￣)づ
