"Where's Ling Xiao?"
Meng Qidi came back holding an umbrella. Although she was wearing rain boots, her trouser legs were already wet.
"He's gone to a meeting. Drink some ginger soup first. Wait until the rain stops before going. What if you get cold?"
Wang Jinhua handed her the hot soup in her hand and scolded her.
Meng Qidi was slightly stunned. "Why would he go to a meeting in such heavy rain?"
It was a rainy day and the roads in the village were all slippery and muddy. Meng Qidi was worried about Ling Xiao, so she drank the ginger soup in one gulp and went to the village with an umbrella without even changing her shoes.
Although Wang Jinhua couldn't see, she could hear her daughter-in-law's worry. She smiled, turned around and told Xiao Chengzi to light another fire.
I was afraid that they would come back wet.
When Meng Qidi arrived at the auditorium next to the captain's house, there were quite a few people standing sparsely inside, looking lazy and scattered, and none of them had arrived yet.
Ling Xiao was talking to the captain in one place. Except for a few educated youth who dared to approach, everyone else in Lingjia Village stayed quite far away.
Seeing Meng Qidi coming over, Ling Xiao turned around and smiled, "Why are you here? Can't I just come to the meeting?"
He was the first one to see her when she entered the auditorium.
Meng Qidi glared at him and said angrily, "Your leg has just healed, and you don't care about yourself? It's raining so hard and the road is slippery. If something happens to you, are you going to keep your leg?"
Meng Qidi has always been gentle in Lingjia Village. This is the first time she speaks so loudly, and the captain next to her is a little stunned.
Ling Xiao showed a hint of smile in his eyes. He rolled his wheelchair closer to her and gently tugged at the corner of her clothes.
"Wife, I was wrong. I promise not to run around next time."
Meng Qidi was angry and didn't pay any attention to his address. She shook off his hand angrily.
"Are you still thinking about next time? Your leg isn't healed yet, isn't it better for you to just stay at home?"
"Who asked you to come to the meeting? If this rolls into the paddy field, who will know what will happen?"
The more Meng Qidi talked, the angrier she got. If something happened to him, all her efforts would be in vain!
In his previous life, he must have been pushed into the water by Meng Yuzhen and died because no one noticed him.
"Um, ahem, Xiaoqi, I brought Brother Ling Xiao here, he will be fine."
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Zhao Youwei quickly coughed lightly and winked at her. Everyone is watching here. Why don’t you give her some face when you scold the man like that?
When Meng Qidi saw Zhao Youwei, she went to him in anger.
"Didn't I promise to go to the meeting? Why did you push him over here? Is the meeting so urgent? Can't I just let him go?"
Meng Qidi glanced at the group of people who were lazy and scattered around.
"Who among these people in the village doesn't procrastinate during meetings? Only our family is not good enough, right? Is it because there are lazy people in the whole village that our family must be proactive in everything?"
The faces of the few villagers who had just entered the auditorium varied.
Who is this woman implying?
Who is lazy?
A few men couldn't stand it anymore. If the captain wasn't there, they would have taught this woman a lesson!
He was scolded as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhao Youwei shut his mouth in grievance. He was wrong. He shouldn't speak to a woman when she was angry.
Ling Xiao was originally somewhat dissatisfied with this educated youth named Meng Qidi Xiaoqi, but when he saw him being scolded, he instantly felt happy.
Look, his wife is protecting him.
Beating is love and scolding is care, Xiaoqi is good to him.
The captain coughed lightly and glanced at Zhao Youwei, "Youwei, you are really wrong about this. Ling Xiao's legs are not good, why did you push him over here?"
Didn't you see the couple quarreling? Why are you, an outsider, approaching?
Zhao Youwei looked at the captain aggrievedly. It was not him who pushed it away, it was Ling Xiao who wanted to come...
Here, Ling Xiao raised his hand and gently pulled Meng Qidi, saying softly, "Xiao Qi, don't be angry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have made you worry, let's have a meeting first and talk about it when we get back."
Meng Qidi tried to pull her hand back several times, but failed. She glared at him and said, "I'll settle the score with you when I get back!"
Seeing that Meng Qidi's anger had subsided, the captain glanced at everyone and began to assign tasks...
After the meeting, the rain finally stopped and Meng Qidi hurriedly pushed Ling Xiao and walked quickly towards home.
Although the rain has stopped, the weather is still gloomy and I'm afraid it will rain again soon.
She just met Jin Ming in the auditorium, and she felt relieved when she knew that Jin Yue did not go to town.
However, the boy was smart. He pushed a few umbrellas back in the auditorium. Someone who wanted to take the umbrella and refuse to pay was taken away by him in a tactful way.
When they got home, Wang Jinhua urged them to take a shower and change clothes.
After taking a shower, it started raining outside again.
Meng Qidi walked to the door and looked at the pond at the door with some worry. She was afraid that the fish fry in the pond would rush out...
Natural disasters are unavoidable. I don’t know if there is an outlet for the pond in front of the Meng family. If it is full...
"I just changed my clothes, don't go out."
When Ling Xiao came out of the shower, he saw her staring at the door and hurriedly tried to stop her, fearing that she would rush out again.
Meng Qidi ignored his words and glanced at the side, "What should we do with those things? Move them in?"
"Give it up. There's no place to put it if you move in."
Those are the training equipment they made in the past few days, and now they have to throw them away.
I thought the rain would stop in two days, but it never stopped...
Seeing that the water in the stream next to her was about to reach the waterwheel, Meng Qidi was worried, but the waterwheel frame could not be dismantled yet...
Ling Jinming came from the village in the rain, holding a bag of tickets and money in his hand.
"Sister-in-law, I called your dad. They have an outlet for the pond, but it's not overflowing."
Ling Jinming shook off the water droplets on the umbrella, glanced at the weather, and sighed. The rain was so depressing.
"Why are you holding a bag of money and tickets?" Ling Xiao asked suspiciously.
"Oh, yes, this is what Jin Yue asked me to give to my sister-in-law. This is the money from selling umbrellas these two days."
Ling Jinming quickly handed over the money in his hand.
There are not many umbrellas for sale in the town. Most of them are bought by villagers in the village when it rains. Fortunately, the house in the town was only rented for one month, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money.
Meng Qidi continued helplessly, "Don't be in a hurry to leave. I'll give you some money. The rain probably won't stop. Tell her to stop running around."
"good."
After dividing the money, Meng Qidi asked Ling Jinming to take some dried fish and vegetables back home, as it was not easy to sell things.
In the afternoon and evening, the rain became heavier and heavier, accompanied by thunder from time to time, which made people panic.
Early the next morning, Meng Qidi was awakened by a nightmare and climbed up in a hurry, putting on her clothes.
"What's wrong?" Ling Xiao quickly sat up, still in a daze.
"I have to go out and take a look."
Meng Qidi put on her rain boots and didn’t even bother to comb her hair. She even dreamed that her lotus pond had been flushed and was completely empty. It was like she had returned to the time before liberation…
"Wait a minute, I'll accompany you."
Ling Xiao quickly put on his clothes. Although his legs couldn't stand for long, he could still walk a few steps, so he could help if anything happened.
Because of the rain, it was still dark at 6:30 and the scene by the stream could not be seen. Meng Qidi put on her raincoat and prepared to go over to take a look.
"Wait!" Ling Xiao quickly grabbed her and said, "Are you going to go over there like this?"
Meng Qidi looked at him suspiciously.
