He gave himself the outer robe at this point, as he didn't have many clothes left.
It's already cold after getting caught in the rain.
Shen Yu grabbed Pei Yao's hand that was lifting his clothes through his own, his eyes darkening.
"Ayao, I am a doctor. You can treat yourself if you catch a cold, but women should not be exposed to cold."
Pei Yao was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Chen Yu, who was also looking down at her.
A strange emotion welled up in Pei Yao's heart.
The surrounding noise and the sound of the downpour seemed to freeze at that moment.
It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A deafening clap of thunder exploded in the sky outside the window, and huge sparks of electricity burst across the heavens, illuminating the room as if it were daytime.
The thunder startled Su Tao, who screamed; she was most afraid of thunder on rainy nights.
Everyone was focused on Su Tao, and no one cared about Pei Yao, who was sitting in the corner with her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
He was also looking down, with a calm expression, but the tips of his ears were bright red.
Liu Tie quickly started a fire in the hearth in the middle of the room.
With the firelight, Su Tao wasn't so scared anymore.
My emotions gradually stabilized.
A large group of people sat around a fire in the middle of the room, drying their clothes and hair.
It was an utterly pathetic mess.
The warm firewood quickly warmed the body, and the clothes and hair slowly dried.
Shen Yu got up and asked Liu Tie for some ginger slices. He also borrowed the kitchen, boiled some water in a pot, and made a big pot of boiling ginger soup.
I poured a bowl for everyone.
"Everyone, drink some ginger soup, otherwise your bodies might not be able to handle it." After saying that, Shen Yu handed a bowl of ginger soup that was not too hot to handle to Pei Yao.
After being caught in the rain and frightened, the group drank a bowl of piping hot ginger soup, which warmed them from the inside out.
Most of the rain in Lingnan is in the form of showers, which come and go quickly.
The rain outside has stopped being so heavy, and now it's just a light drizzle.
If you're in a hurry to leave, then you can leave.
Considering it was getting late and everyone was exhausted from the day, they were all quite sleepy.
Exhausted and sleepy, Pei Dalang suggested that since the rain wasn't too heavy, everyone should hurry on their way home.
Fortunately, the distance between Liujia Village and Liangshui Village is not very far.
After the rain, the moon seemed to be veiled in white gauze, and sparse moonlight poured down on the earth through the veil.
Although it's not as bright as usual, it's enough to illuminate the path in front of us.
A carriage sped past in the moonlight, stirring up a small cloud of mist.
Pei Dalang quickened his pace, fearing that the rain might intensify again.
He never wanted to experience being soaked by a downpour again.
Fortunately, the rain didn't get any heavier until they got home.
After sending everyone home one by one, Pei Yao and the others finally went home themselves.
After a quick wash, everyone was ready to rest.
As the days went by, Pei's Dessert Shop gradually got back on track.
Although we are still busy on weekdays, everyone has gained experience and is now able to handle things more easily.
There were no major problems.
The shop is currently mainly managed by Chen Fang and Pei Dalang.
Lychee wine was also put on sale in the shop.
As a result, many people who want to order lychee wine will go directly to the shop and order from Chen Fang and his team.
Chen Fang was in charge of the business inside the shop, while Pei Dalang was in charge of the delivery of the lychee wine.
As before, many orders were placed in bulk and Pei Dalang would deliver them to people's homes.
For those who live nearby, buying a jar of Pei Dalang liquor will also get you a free gift.
As the shop became busier, more workers were hired.
The workers who used to deliver goods with Pei Dalang were no longer just him and Pei Yao, but he now led three others.
Yunniang and Pei Erlang were in charge of collecting seaweed at home.
The two of them were also busy every day leading the villagers to the beach to cut and dry kelp.
As for Pei Yao, ever since she mentioned to Pei Dalang a while ago that she wanted to read more books and learn more characters...
His father forced him, Pei Yichen, and Pei Xuan to stay in the courtyard every day to read and write.
Pei Yao felt overwhelmed just looking at books, especially those ancient books with their complicated characters.
Pei Yao felt dizzy and lightheaded from looking at it.
For Pei Yao, he was practically a hypnotist.
Several times, Pei Yao kept her eyes on the book, but her mind had already wandered far away.
It ended with him taking a nap on the table.
Whenever this happened, Pei Xuan would remind Pei Yao from the side: "Sister, wake up, Father said you can't sleep on your books."
Hearing the little girl's sweet, babyish voice, Pei Yao became much more awake. She struggled to lift her head and said groggily, "Father said I can't sleep on the books, so I'll go to my room to sleep."
After saying that, he got up and walked into the room.
Pei Xuan immediately pulled her back: "Sister, Father also said that you can't go to bed at this time."
Pei Yao glanced helplessly at Pei Xuan. Good boy, he's actually become her father's spy now!
Pei Yao coaxed, "Little Xuan'er, if you don't tell and I don't tell either, Father won't know."
Pei Xuan's hand loosened for a moment in response to her older sister's persuasion.
However, the loosening was only temporary, and he quickly regained his composure.
With a determined look in his eyes: "Father said we can't lie."
Pei Yao: "......."
Pei Yao looked at the little girl, who seemed like a little adult.
She laughed in exasperation. This little girl was becoming more and more like her father. She had thought that she could rest since her father was not here today, but she did not expect that this little girl would be even stricter than her father.
Under Xiao Xuan'er's watchful gaze, Pei Yao had no choice but to slink back to the table and continue reading.
Pei Yichen, standing to the side, watched his sister with an air of schadenfreude.
"Hahaha, Xuan'er is now Second Uncle's spy. I tried to secretly take a picture three times but failed each time."
Hearing Pei Yichen's gloating tone, Pei Yao raised her hand in annoyance and gave him a hard slap on the head without turning her head.
"Here's a reward for you, no need to thank me."
Seeing Pei Yichen clutching his head in pain, Pei Yao withdrew her hand expressionlessly.
Pei Yichen held his head, two streams of tears silently streaming down his face.
Pei Yichen: ...
So when Pei Erlang finished his work and returned, he saw his three siblings studying diligently.
Especially Pei Yao, who is usually the least willing to study, was so focused that she didn't even notice when they came back.
Pei Erlang walked over with praise, intending to compliment Pei Yao.
Then I saw that strange scene.
Pei Yao held the book and laughed heartily, her expression quite strange, and she would occasionally furrow her brows in a tense manner.
Pei Erlang was very curious, so he turned sideways to take a look.
Pei Yichen noticed Pei Erlang approaching and was about to remind Pei Yao that her father had arrived.
But before he could even speak, Pei Dalang gave Pei Yichen a warning look.
