Not long after Jiang Yue got home, the sky suddenly turned cloudy. Then a strong wind blew up and thunders exploded in the sky one after another. Almost in an instant, the sky turned dark.
Jiang Yue was afraid of thunder, but she was more afraid that the cloth she had just bought would get wet by rain.
"Ningning, help mom collect the clothes!"
Jiang Yue called Ningning for help while frantically moving things into the house. She finally managed to move all the cloth into the living room before the raindrops fell, and with Ningning's help, she carried all the clothes that had been washed and dried in the morning to the bed.
Jiang Yue couldn't move the rosewood table, so she covered it with plastic sheeting. She also took two bricks to hold it down for fear that strong winds would blow away the plastic sheeting.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed one after another. Jiang Yue was sitting on the bed folding clothes. Every time thunder sounded, her scalp tingled and she was frightened. She always thought of the old locust tree that was struck by lightning at the gate of the family compound.
Just when Jiang Yue was busy at home, a man and a woman walked to the entrance of the division headquarters amid thunders.
The man was of medium build, looked to be in his fifties, with dark skin and many wrinkles on his face. He had two baskets on a pole on his shoulders, one hanging down in front and one behind.
Next to the man was a young woman carrying a bag on her back, holding a suitcase in her left hand and a net bag in her right hand. She was in her early twenties, with long braids. Although she was not the most beautiful, she was very pretty. However, she was too thin, with a sallow complexion and a skinny body, and looked like she was malnourished.
"Comrade, who are you looking for? Please show your ID!" The sentry on duty immediately stopped the two men.
The man quickly put down the burden on his shoulders, wiped the sweat off his head with the white towel around his neck, and said with a smile: "Comrade Guard, I'm looking for Political Commissar Tang of the 127th Regiment. I'm his cousin, from my hometown, and I'm the village party secretary."
As he spoke, Secretary Tang took out a letter of introduction from his chest pocket and handed it to the sentry.
After the sentry checked, he went to the sentry box to make a phone call. When he came out, he returned the letter of introduction to Secretary Tang, then looked at the young woman next to him and asked, "Who is this female comrade?"
"Crack!" A loud thunder suddenly sounded, and the calm sentry was startled. He subconsciously looked up at the sky and thought to himself what a strange thing! The thunder sounded at such a coincidence.
"Comrade Guard, she is my distant niece, and she came with me to visit relatives." Secretary Tang was also frightened. As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning tore through the sky.
"Come in. Political Commissar Tang lives in the new family building. Go in from here and go over there." The sentry checked his identity and let him pass, and also showed Secretary Tang the way.
Secretary Tang thanked them and entered the camp with Pei Xueyun.
Pei Xueyun was extremely nervous. The last time she came here, she sneaked out and had no letter of introduction, so the sentry wouldn't even let her through the gate and almost arrested her for a spy.
Although she came with Secretary Tang this time, when the sentry checked her identity just now, she didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being recognized.
Fortunately, the sentries on duty today were replaced by the same ones from last time, so she was not recognized.
However, Pei Xueyun did not dare to be careless and followed Secretary Tang carefully.
"The weather has changed. It's going to rain heavily soon. Pei Zhiqing, please walk faster!" Secretary Tang walked a long way with his load on his shoulder and found that Pei Xueyun had not caught up with him. He turned back and urged her. His basket was full of food and must not be exposed to the rain.
"Here I come!" Pei Xueyun quickened her pace, but she was too thin. After running only two steps, she was out of breath and her face turned red.
Secretary Tang frowned when he saw this. "Pei Zhiqing, your health is too poor. How can you be a nanny?"
Seeing Secretary Tang's disapproving look, Pei Xueyun quickly hugged the box in her arms and tried to look normal. "Uncle Tang, I'm just tired from driving these past two days. I just need a rest. I'm in good health!"
Secretary Tang sneered and said nothing. How could he not know whether Pei Zhiqing was in good health? In the two years since she joined the production team, she had never completed her work points. She either had a headache today or a footache tomorrow, and she asked for leave every other day.
The situation has been even more outrageous in the past month or so. Pei Zhiqing could not even lift a hoe. When she was asked to go to the fields to weed, she weeded the wheat and left only the weeds. If the team members had not discovered it in time, all the wheat in the field would have been destroyed.
When Secretary Tang thought of Pei Zhiqing, he snorted in his heart. He looked down on him at all. But the old woman in his family must have taken some kind of love potion from Pei Zhiqing, but she treated him particularly well.
Take the case a while ago when Erwa's wife called back home and said she wanted to find a nanny to take care of the children in the military family compound. The old woman kept recommending Pei Zhiqing, praising him to the skies. When Erwa's wife heard that he was a knowledgeable high school student, she immediately asked him to find a way to bring the child over.
Secretary Tang was not optimistic about Pei Zhiqing. A nanny had to be physically strong first. Pei Zhiqing was extremely weak. He was worried that Pei Zhiqing would fall ill at Erwa's house after only two days of work.
Pei Xueyun knew that Secretary Tang was not willing to bring her here, but she didn't care. The most important thing at the moment was that she had to get to the family compound as soon as possible so that she could follow the plot in the book.
Ever since she entered the book she wrote a month ago, Pei Xueyun was so happy at first that she would laugh even in her dreams. She felt that her life had reached its peak.
This book was written to satisfy her fantasy of being the heroine with a harem. The inspiration for writing the book came from the conflicts between her and Jiang Yue in real life.
Jiang Yue obviously has such a large amount of traffic, has opened several companies, and has made enough money. She just wanted to have a piece of the pie, but she took advantage of some of Jiang Yue's traffic. As a result, she was complained because there were some problems with the goods she brought. Jiang Yue actually sent a lawyer to sue her?
