Chapter 167 Will God Give Me a Chance?
Gu Jin served the boy a bowl of rice and a bowl of soup and placed them in front of him, then ate quietly.
The silence at the dinner table today makes people feel a little heavy.
Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin could also see that grandpa, dad and mom didn’t look too happy, so they ate the delicious food quickly and “low-key”.
Under normal circumstances they would have started chattering, but now that the situation was not right they knew to be quiet.
When Chen Hong first came to the kitchen and saw the table full of delicious food, she swallowed silently.
Even when faced with delicious food, she would not forget to look for the potatoes, beans and cucumbers she had bought this morning in the kitchen.
After discovering that there were still some of them left, his expression looked better.
When she discovered the whole bag of rice and flour in the kitchen, her face lit up with joy.
Unfortunately, this joy did not last long. Hearing the heavy rain outside, she sat silently at the dining table, eating delicious food in a bad mood.
Not only her, but even the old man and Gu Dechang were in a low mood.
The meal was eaten in silence. The old man placed the empty bowl on the table and put down his chopsticks.
He sighed deeply, glanced at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and advised: "Come on, don't be so sad, it's not just our family that has ruined the crops."
Chen Hong looked up at the old man, said nothing, and continued to eat the rice grains in the bowl.
Gu Dechang nodded to the old man.
Indeed, the heavy rain destroyed the crops of the entire village, and they felt much better when they thought that they were not the only one unlucky.
Glancing at his wife who was still frowning, he tried to comfort her: "When the rain stops, I'll go to the fields and see if I can salvage some of the crops. Our fields are not flooded, so they are definitely better than others."
After he said that, Chen Hong's face looked much better.
The two of them felt more open-minded and started eating with big mouthfuls.
You know what, when I’m in a good mood, the meat in my mouth tastes so delicious that I can’t stop eating it.
Gu Jin glanced at the faces of everyone at the dinner table. Although he didn't show it on his face, he felt helpless in his heart.
rescue?
That also depends on whether God gives you the opportunity.
A few days later, the rain showed no sign of stopping.
The faces of the Gu family members, who had been expecting something, changed. Even Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin looked serious.
They all come from humble backgrounds and understand best how important the crops in the fields are.
That is the food supply for the family in the future.
The old man smokes more frequently than before, and his already solemn face looks even gloomier.
The faces of Gu Dechang and Chen Hong were extremely ugly.
In the Gu family, the only ones who were relatively calm were Gu Jin and the little one.
A few more days passed.
The rain finally subsided that day, and Gu Dechang couldn't wait to put on his raincoat and go to the fields.
He was not the only one who went out. All the men in every household walked out of their homes and went straight to the fields.
Looking at his uncle leaving, Gu Jin's eyes flashed with pity.
It has been raining for nearly half a month, and the crops in the fields are definitely doomed.
There was wailing everywhere in Qingshan Village.
Most of the crops planted in the fields were flooded by the rain, including wheat, corn, and newly planted cotton.
Those who depended on the harvest from the land for their livelihood could not help but kneel on the ground and cry.
The village chief and his son stood in front of their own field, looking at the destroyed crops with heartache on their faces.
As the rain was getting heavier, he called on everyone to go home first.
"Everyone go home first. The rain is getting heavier. If we go back, landslides will be dangerous!"
After hearing this, most people went back home.
