Jiang Yunshu was awakened by the sound of heavy rain. Thinking of the washed clothes hanging in the yard, she stood up and rushed out to get them, but was stopped by Gu's mother who was familiar with her movements.
"Shushu, it's raining heavily outside. You wait inside, I'll be there." After saying that, Mother Gu plunged into the courtyard in the pouring rain in her slippers.
Jiang Yunshu looked through the crack in the door at Mother Gu who was soaked like a drowned rat and could only feel anxious. After Mother Gu returned to the house carrying wet clothes, Jiang Yunshu quickly handed her the towel in his hand.
"Auntie Gu, you wipe it first. I'll go get you a cup of hot water to wash away the coldness in your body."
"Thank you, Shushu." Mother Gu felt so happy at the concern from her daughter-in-law.
Jiang Yunshu was worried that Gu's mother would get sick after being caught in the rain, so when he was making the brown sugar water, he deliberately poured a packet of cold medicine into it, and no one noticed it.
In order to neutralize the bitter taste of the medicine, Jiang Yunshu added three tablespoons of brown sugar to a bowl of brown sugar water. Mother Gu didn't suspect anything and drank the bowl of brown sugar water in one breath.
If it weren't for the fact that she still had things to do in Beijing, Mother Gu, who was reluctant to leave her daughter-in-law, really didn't want to go back.
The rain was pouring down. In such extreme weather, the team members usually stayed at home and did not have to go to work. However, Jiang Yunshu was worried about the more than 20 pigs in the pigsty, so he put on his straw raincoat and went out without even having time to eat breakfast.
Father Gu, who was worried about his daughter-in-law, also went with them.
Liang Mingli, who was busy feeding the pigs, was surprised to see Jiang Yunshu: "Jiang Zhiqing, why are you here in this heavy rain?"
"I was worried about them, so I came to check on them." After seeing that the pigpen was not affected by the heavy rain, Jiang Yunshu finally felt relieved.
The terrain is high and the drainage system is well-developed, so there is no need to worry about the pigpen being flooded even if rainwater flows back.
Liang Mingli said, "We're watching over it, nothing will happen. Jiang Zhiqing, you should go back now. It would be bad if you get sick."
Thinking of the recent outbreak of swine fever in several brigades, Jiang Yunshu worriedly reminded them, "Grandpa Liang, I'm going to trouble you with the pigpen. Be careful these two days. Don't feed them raw water, and make sure the pig food is cooked before feeding them. When I'm done with this, I'll go hunting on the hillside to improve everyone's diet."
"We'll take care of this, don't worry."
When Jiang Yunshu and his father got home, their clothes were soaked. Grandma Gu and his mother were so distressed that they quickly pushed Jiang Yunshu to take a shower. They had already boiled hot water.
As for Gu's father who was also drenched by the rain, he was a grown man and not that delicate. It didn't matter whether he washed or not. However, Gu's mother was worried that he would get sick and infect his daughter-in-law, so she softly handed him a towel.
Father Gu was so moved that tears filled his eyes. He originally thought that his wife no longer wanted him after she got married, but he didn't expect that his wife still cared about him.
Father Gu felt so happy that even the feeling of frustration of not being able to hold his wife to sleep for several days disappeared.
After the rain, the air became a little chilly. At Jiang Yunshu's suggestion, they cooked hot pot at home for lunch. It happened that there was still a chicken left from yesterday.
Gu's father slaughtered it and made a soup base with the flavor of chicken soup. The chicken was cooked so soft that the bones fell off with a light touch. It was paired with Jiang Yunshu's exclusive secret dipping sauce, and it was so delicious.
Even Grandma Gu, who can't eat spicy food, couldn't stop eating with her chopsticks.
"The countryside is more interesting than the city. I don't want to go back." Mother Gu sighed more than once.
Jiang Yunshu replied with a smile: "If you can't bear to go back, then stay here for a few more days and go back whenever you want."
Mother Gu joked, "If you don't go back, the old man at home will come and kill you."
Grandpa Gu, who was far away in Beijing, was feeling extremely miserable. His house was empty without a single person in sight, and he couldn't even find anyone to help him when he had a quarrel.
At this moment, Grandpa Gu was regretting to death. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone to the countryside to visit his grandson's wife. He wouldn't have to sit by the cold stove like he does now, and would have to go to the next door to eat a hot meal.
The Gu family, who had originally decided to leave tomorrow, saw that the rain was not going to stop for a while, so they had to postpone it. It was not until two days later that the sky cleared up.
After dinner, tears welled up in Gu's mother's eyes. She said reluctantly, "Shushu, we're leaving tomorrow. You take good care of yourself. If anything happens, call home. Don't try to hold on by yourself, okay?"
Jiang Yunshu said, "Aunt Gu, I understand. You must take good care of yourselves when you return. If I have time in the future, I will go to Beijing to see you."
"Shushu, is what you said about coming to Beijing to see us true?" Mother Gu excitedly held Jiang Yunshu's hand and looked at her with hope in her eyes.
"It's more real than gold and silver. Don't find me annoying when the time comes." Jiang Yunshu said mischievously.
"Aunt Gu likes you so much that she wouldn't bother you. Let's make it clear that you must come to Jing City.
I will take you to the department store, buy you pretty dresses and nice leather shoes, and then take you to eat delicious food, like donkey rolls and roast duck..."
Mother Gu spoke eloquently, and Jiang Yunshu listened quietly, nodding in agreement from time to time.
Mother Gu acted as childish as a kid, and after she finished speaking, she and Jiang Yunshu made a pinky promise that they would never change their ways for a hundred years.
Jiang Yunshu took advantage of the fact that it was still light and went to the hillside alone on the pretext of having something to do. He wanted to try his luck and if he couldn't catch it, he would take it from the space.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Jiang Yunshu arrived, two stupid pheasants flew in front of her. Their clear eyes were somewhat stupid, and they met Jiang Yunshu's eyes.
