Chapter 68 Torrential Rain, Disaster Warning
The cane was for convenience and I put it in my spatial storage. Now that Xie Jianshe is here, I can't take it out in front of him.
She glanced at Xie Jianshe with displeasure. This guy was really annoying; she always seemed to run into him.
"you……"
Zhou also looked at Xie Jianshe.
Xie Jianshe moved his mouth a few times and said, "Are you going back to the village now? Or do you want to wander around some more?"
Zhou was somewhat speechless; this Xie Jianshe was quite something.
Zhou nodded, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Brother Luo's men carrying things out. He said, "I need to go get some things first. You wait here for me."
"Shall I help you move it?"
Xie Jianshe has excellent observation skills; he saw the people coming out of the building and also noticed Zhou Ye's gaze.
He didn't care what the relationship was between Brother Luo and Zhou Ye, but he could tell that Brother Luo was currently listening to Zhou Ye.
However, a man is a man, and if one day he suddenly has evil thoughts, he will definitely not be willing to accept it.
So he had to go along.
"Okay!" Zhou didn't refuse!
After all, things have to be done through official channels!
When we arrived at the destination, it was at the corner of an alley.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and take a look!"
Zhou Ye went inside and saw snacks such as cola, drinks, sunflower seeds, and chocolate biscuits on the ground. With a slight movement of his hand, most of them went into the space.
They left behind a case of cola, a case of drinks, and a few scattered snacks.
Come in.
Xie Jianshe strode in.
Their eyes widened in surprise when they saw what was on the ground.
This... is cola?
Yes, he had only seen it before, and only heard that it was a foreign product. As for the chocolate, he wouldn't have recognized it if it weren't for the words written on the packaging.
A complex mix of emotions flickered within him, and he sighed inwardly.
I bent down and lifted the box; the loose pieces were carried in net bags, making them easy to pick up.
Zhou simply said thank you and followed behind.
After walking for about five minutes, I met up with Kuroko!
Hei Zi, holding the crutches he'd just bought at the hospital, stared blankly at Zhou Ye...
Wasn't it because my legs and feet weren't feeling well? How... did they get better?
He rubbed his eyes, only to be kicked by Xie Jianshe.
"What are you staring at? Let's go!"
Hei Zi pushed a small cart that smelled slightly fishy, and with a kind smile, he said, "Zhou Zhiqing, your legs aren't very strong, and it's getting dark. Why don't you sit on it?"
We'll be back soon!
Even if Zhou Ye has a cold and aloof personality, she would be too embarrassed to let someone manually push her back. What would that make her look like?
"No, I can still walk! Let's sit down at the village entrance!"
Zhou also replied.
Hei Zi looked at Xie Jianshe helplessly.
Hei Zi breathed a sigh of relief only after Xie Jianshe nodded. This educated youth was clearly from a wealthy family.
I was reluctant to walk this long way, but I never expected...
Unexpectedly, it started raining halfway there...
From light rain to heavy rain, it poured down relentlessly, turning the dirt road into a muddy mess and making it increasingly difficult to walk.
Ignoring Zhou Ye's objections, Xie Jianshe pulled Zhou Ye onto the cart and pushed it along.
They also found a plastic sheet, part of which was used to shield Zhou Ye from the rain, and part of which was used to cover Zhou Ye's belongings!
and……
The travel speed has indeed increased significantly...
When we got back to the educated youth settlement, it was still raining heavily... We couldn't even see the road three meters ahead, it was all foggy...
Because of the heavy rain, the educated youth all went back to their rooms early. When they saw Xie Jianshe moving a lot of things in for Zhou Ye, they felt a little jealous.
Li Hong pouted and whispered, "Sigh... comparing people is just infuriating!"
Look at them, they eat meat and fish every day, or plain white flour buns. Can we even afford that once a year?
They were all sent-down youth, so why is there such a big difference between them?
“Exactly!” Liu Xiulan echoed softly.
Chen Lan glanced at her coldly: "What's it to you? Did I eat your food?"
Li Hong blushed and retorted, "Tch, have you forgotten what you said before? Weren't you jealous too?"
Chen Lan's eyes reddened: "Yes, I was blind before! Zhou Zhiqing was such a good person, he deserved to live a good life!"
Didn't you say why the difference is so big?
Let me tell you, they know medicine, do you?
Other people can save lives, can you?
People can climb deep mountains in the middle of the night to collect herbs for patients, can you do that?
Besides, we can't even compare to them in terms of looks! Isn't it normal that we're not as well off as them?
"you……"
Li Hong couldn't argue with him and got quite angry.
"Pah! You sycophant!"
Huang Ying rolled her eyes: "If you don't lick the hook, then what are you doing at lunch? I haven't seen you eat little!"
You even managed to grab a bowl of braised pork!
I didn't manage to get one!
I spit on that!
Li Hong was furious: "Hey, who are you talking to! Huang Ying, don't forget, you used to hate the educated youth Zhou the most."
“Yes, I don’t hate it anymore! I’m all in this together with my life, so what? After all, if something happens to me, I still want to live. It’s okay, Li Hong, I’ll tell Zhou Zhiqing everything you said today, word for word. If we need him in the future, he won’t come!”
"How dare you!" Li Hong was furious!
"Do you think I dare?" Huang Ying said, reaching for her umbrella to head out.
"Why!"
Li Hong grabbed him, her face pale, and with difficulty, she said, "Okay, I won't say anything more, alright?"
We're all veteran educated youth sent to the countryside, so please don't hold it against me!
Huang Ying scoffed, "Tch, I thought you were all that capable!"
The educated youth were divided into two groups in the dormitory.
Li Hong and Liu Xiulan are in one group, while Huang Ying, Chen Lan, and Wang Hongying are in another group who are in a bad mood.
Xie Jianshe put the things inside the house and came out immediately.
"I'm leaving now. It's raining too hard, so don't go out unless you have to. And don't bother going to the village clinic!"
"good!"
Xie Jianshe left in the rain!
"Squeak!"
Su Yunzhou opened the door and looked in Xie Jianshe's direction.
Zhou glanced at him and slammed the door shut.
Su Yunzhou touched his nose and felt a chill down his spine; someone must be cursing him.
Some are happy, some are sad!
The educated youth were overjoyed to see the endless stream of messages, because this meant they wouldn't have to work in the fields!
I can finally get a few days of rest!
But the village chief's family was in a terrible predicament!
Several elderly people from the village came to see the village chief.
"Good luck! You'd better think of something. This rain looks really bad!"
"Yeah, this rain is so strange. It's only April, where have we ever seen such heavy rain?"
"Yes, you're lucky. Do you remember that rain when you were a child? It rained for a full half month, causing landslides, floods, and ruining all the crops!"
You need to prepare early!
Xie Youfu was also scared, remembering that rainstorm when he was a child that had killed half the villagers!
It can be said that the elderly people in the village today are all survivors from that time.
At first, he didn't think much of it, but the rain started falling so heavily without warning, which was terrifying!
"Maybe it'll stop soon? There's no word from above saying how long it'll last!" Xie Youfu still held onto a sliver of hope!
“Sigh…maybe we’re overthinking it. Why don’t you call the county and ask?” an old man suggested.
"Okay, I'll ask!"
Village chief Xie Youfu immediately took care of it; if not, that would be best!
A few minutes later, Xie Youfu returned looking relaxed...
"It's alright, Uncle. I just made a phone call and they said it will rain for at most three days. It's not a big deal."
Just don't go up the mountain, it's still dangerous there!
The elderly were relieved, and one by one the children went back to rest!
Little did they know, a catastrophic disaster was about to befall them...
Can the people of Hongqi Village afford it?
