After dinner, I opened the dining room door, and the wind outside howled in, showing no signs of abating.
Unlike in the afternoon, the wind now carries a slight chill.
In the sweltering heat, this cool breeze feels incredibly refreshing on the face and body.
"This wind isn't all bad; it's even cooled down a bit. I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight," Hu Wenhua said with a carefree and optimistic laugh.
Butcher Hu's mother's heart sank.
In any case, it's not normal for the temperature to drop in such hot weather!
Something unusual is bound to happen. Forget about getting a good night's sleep, I'm afraid even falling asleep will be difficult.
Thinking about their house, the two of them frowned so deeply they could practically trap mosquitoes between their brows.
"Go back inside, wash up, and go to sleep. It's probably going to rain tonight," Shuiqing urged.
As night fell, it rained as expected.
It wasn't raining; it was more like the sky had been torn open, and the rain was pouring down.
It didn't stop all night.
When I woke up in the morning, as soon as I opened the window, a wave of thick, humid air rushed in!
Shui Qing quickly closed the window.
Rain makes the house damp, and if moisture gets in, the whole house will be covered in water droplets.
It was still pouring rain outside, but thankfully the wind was much calmer than yesterday. A covered walkway had been built in the courtyard, so you wouldn't get wet if you walked through it.
Shuiqing went to the kitchen first and found that her mother had already prepared breakfast.
She went straight to the first five rooms.
Originally, Jiang Hehu and the other two stayed in three rooms, but later Ling Ran and Bai Ziqian were arranged to stay in the other two rooms.
Five boys are convenient; it's even easier for them to notify people about the work.
"Ling Ran and Zi Qian, it's been raining heavily these past few days. You two can go feed the livestock, so you don't need to worry about it."
"Jiang Hehu, the three of you, each place four portions of charcoal in each room every day, and collect them the next day and place them next to the stove."
Fan Jin can wear the raincoat she bought at the mall under his straw raincoat, so he won't get wet. The straw raincoat is big enough to cover the raincoat completely.
Charcoal can absorb moisture. Placing four portions in each room will absorb moisture and keep the room dry, making it much more comfortable to live in during the damp rainy season.
After recycling, it can be baked and reused, so nothing is wasted.
Ling Ran replied first: "I'll wear a straw raincoat to feed the livestock."
"The rain is too heavy, and a raincoat probably won't be of much use. It would be bad if we got caught in the rain and got sick."
A raincoat is woven from straw or palm fiber to keep out the rain, but it can only keep out light rain, moderate rain and drizzle. For a downpour, a raincoat is still necessary!
"Okay, Uncle Jin."
Ling Ran wanted to ask Uncle Jin if he was alright getting caught in the rain.
He's young, so even if he gets sick, he'll recover faster than Uncle Jin.
Shui Qing also realized the problem, coughed, and corrected, "It's okay, he has a special constitution, he won't get sick from getting rained on."
Jiang Hehu: .....How come they didn't know their father had this constitution?
Ling Ran and Bai Ziqian remained silent.
Before them lay a dark, rain-soaked sky, and behind them a clean, spacious house.
They have no worries about food, and every meal is prepared with care and thought.
This is all thanks to Aunt Shuiqing and Uncle Jin...

In just one night, the fertile fields in the low-lying areas were submerged.
The water level of lakes and rivers is directly level with the riverbank.
Shuiqing's house is situated on high ground, and the open and closed ditches that took half a month to dig during the construction of the new house are now proving extremely useful!
Not only was there no standing water in the yard, but there was also no standing water around the livestock area.
The rainwater drained quickly down the ditches.
There's no standing water, so there's no need to worry about the warehouse and woodshed.
