During the banquet, everyone just exchanged birthday greetings. No one bothered to mention the idea of spending their days with Liu Ruonan, as the old man would be unhappy.
After dinner, everyone gathered in the yard to watch TV. Many villagers also came over after finishing their meals.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Ni's brothers and sisters had all left, leaving only the Chen family and the villagers.
Everyone was watching TV so lively that they even brought their own stools from home. They sat in a row, and it felt like watching a movie.
From time to time, bursts of laughter could be heard from the yard.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, a light drizzle began to fall. Zhuang Sheng and Chen Lei quickly moved the TV into the room, and the villagers dispersed one by one.
Zhuang was afraid that it would rain heavily and get Liu Ruonan wet, so he went home with her for the time being. Chen Jianmin stayed to chat with the two elderly people.
When she was in the village, she lived close to her parents, so she would visit them whenever she had time. But now that she was in the city with Liu Ruonan, things were different. She no longer had the time to go home and visit her parents.
It's said that as long as your parents are alive, you have a home. As long as your parents are still alive, no matter how old you are, you will always be a child in front of them. Therefore, Chen Jianmin wants to spend more time with his parents.
Chen Wanglong's three sons often saw their parents, so they didn't mind staying with them for a while longer. Because it was raining, everyone went back.
When Liu Ruonan returned home, she was a little tired. Although she was not busy with anything, she just did some things within her ability.
Liu Ruonan lay on the bed, looking at Zhuang Sheng and said, "Brother Zhuang Sheng, have you noticed? It seems that my aunt-in-law has some objections to us."
"What could she have any objection to?" Zhuang Sheng poured a cup of hot water for Liu Ruonan to quench her thirst.
Liu Ruonan took the cup but didn't drink it. She just held it in her palm and looked at Zhuang Sheng and said, "It's because of Xiaojun going to college!"
"You don't have to worry about her. This is not something we can control." Zhuang Sheng said.
The rain outside seemed to be getting heavier, and the raindrops hit the window, making crackling sounds.
Liu Ruonan looked out the window, feeling somewhat worried. She didn't know what was going on at the bank. When she got back, she would have to go to the bank herself.
After drinking a glass of water and talking to Zhuang Sheng for a few words, Liu Ruonan went to bed.
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Zhuang Sheng called Liu Ruonan to get up and eat.
Liu Ruonan only then realized that it was already raining heavily outside, with lightning and thunder.
She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't hear anything.
"It seems like there has been a lot of rain recently." Liu Ruonan looked out the window with some worry.
Zhuang Sheng nodded. "Yes!" Summer was approaching, and there was more rain. Zhuang Sheng also knew that Liu Ruonan was always thinking about the road construction at the factory.
"We will go back tomorrow. I don't know if we can walk on the roads in the village," said Liu Ruonan.
The roads in the village were also dirt roads, not much better than those in the factory. Even an ordinary person would step into a muddy puddle if they walked on it, let alone on a rainy day.
As we were talking, Chen Jianmin came back, holding an umbrella, his shoes covered in a thick layer of mud.
The yard was also made of mud, and every time you stepped on it, there was a pit, and rainwater accumulated in the mud pits.
Fortunately, the middle of the yard was paved with bricks. Chen Jianmin walked along the brick path to the eaves, folded his umbrella, sat under the eaves to knock the mud off his shoes.
Liu Ruonan came out with her belly bulging, looked at Chen Jianmin and said, "Auntie, you're back."
"I'm back, Nannan." Chen Jianmin responded with a smile while tapping his shoes.
"Have you eaten?" Liu Ruonan asked.
"I ate at your grandma's house," Chen Jianmin said, standing up. His shoes were too dirty to wear. The eaves were now covered in mud.
Zhuang Sheng just prepared the meal and brought some to Gao Shu. Gao Shu is eating in their room now!
"It's not easy to walk outside!" Liu Ruonan nodded and responded.
"I can't go out when it rains. The road is too muddy. Every time I step, there's a pit. My shoes are covered with mud and are so heavy." Chen Jianmin said helplessly.
It is undeniable that the countryside and the city are indeed incomparable in this regard. Chen Jianmin has been staying in the city for a while now, and even if it rains heavily, this situation has never occurred.
"I wonder if we can drive our car out tomorrow!" Liu Ruonan asked with some concern.
I really can't stay in my hometown for too long. There are too many things to deal with when I return to the city.
Chen Jianmin shook his head, looked at Liu Ruonan and said, "I think it's uncertain. The road ahead is too difficult."
"What should we do then?" Liu Ruonan asked anxiously.
"No, your uncle-in-law, your brother Lei, and your sister-in-law and I will go back first. You and Zhuang Sheng can stay at home for a few more days. It's really dangerous for you to drive on a road like this with a big belly."
Chen Jianmin said.
Liu Ruonan said helplessly: "How can you leave?"
"We just need to walk out of this road and take the bus to town." Chen Jianmin looked at Liu Ruonan and comforted her.
"How long will it take to walk to town? By the time you get to town, the mud on your shoes will probably be higher than your shoes." How could Liu Ruonan bear to let Chen Jianmin suffer such a hardship? Not to mention the good weather on weekdays, it takes more than half an hour to walk from the village to town. In this road condition, it's probably not possible to walk for an hour and a half.
"But how can we not go back to look after the shop? The whole family can't stay here." Chen Jianmin responded. She knew that Liu Ruonan cared about her, but she also cared about Liu Ruonan and Zhuang Sheng.
It is impossible for Zhuang Sheng to take leave all the time, so it is impossible for him to stay at home for a few more days.
"We'll see what happens tomorrow!" Liu Ruonan said, then turned to Chen Jianmin and said, "Auntie, I'm going to eat first."
"Well, go ahead!"
Liu Ruonan returned to her room and ate while thinking about something. An idea slowly took shape in her mind.
However, this idea is just an idea for now. Before the news from the bank is confirmed, she can only hide this immature idea in her heart.
On the second day, the rain continued to fall, but fortunately it was not as heavy as before. It was just a light drizzle, and the weather did not improve.
Zhuang Sheng had to go back, so after discussion, the family decided to go back together.
It was very difficult to drive the car from the village to the town. We got stuck in the mud several times. Fortunately, we didn't get stuck as deep as in the factory. We just stepped on the accelerator and got out.
But when we got to the town, the car was covered in mud, just like last time.
