Chu Nanzhou looked at the little girl's wet eyes and was slightly stunned for a moment. He felt a strange warmth and tenderness in his heart. He even had the thought that he wanted to kiss her. After a moment, he spoke:
"By the way, I'm here to give you this. I heard that you'll be delivering water in a while, so remember to get dressed. If you don't know how to get it, ask Xu Hongmei. She knows."
Chu Nanzhou shook the big bag in his hand.
I don’t know what’s inside, it’s a big bulging bag.
Sheng Kangning also felt water drops rolling down his neck. He shook his neck gently and asked, "How long will you stay this time?"
"Three to five days! Wait for the call! You have to leave when you get the call!"
"Oh! Then can you get down to the ground?"
Chu Nanzhou moved his fingers that were a little chilled by the wind and said with a smile, "Of course, your Director Zhou and I are old acquaintances. Since we are here, he must help with the harvest!"
Sheng Kangning looked up at the man. How should I put it? It was hard to imagine what it would be like for a man like Chu Nanzhou to go to the fields to harvest. Sheng Kangning almost wanted to ask, "Can you harvest wheat?"
"By the way, take these bottles of mosquito repellent with you. Apply some on your body before going out! The mosquitoes here are very fierce!"
Chu Nanzhou handed the bag in his hand to Sheng Kangning, took out a few small bottles from his pocket and handed them over. His eyes could not help but fall on the girl's fair and tender skin. If she was bitten by a mosquito, it would be itchy and painful. How uncomfortable it would be!
Chu Nanzhou had seen how fierce the mosquitoes here were.
Sheng Kangning saw the bottles and whispered "Ouch!" and put Xiaobao into Chu Nanzhou's arms: "Xiaobao, Brother Chu, wait for me. I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't bring any. Wait for me!"
After saying that, Sheng Kangning ran back again.
A few minutes later, the man ran out again, and this time he took the initiative to get under the umbrella.
Sheng Kangning spread out his hands, revealing two medicine bags.
He explained, "This is the mosquito repellent bag I made. You are lucky. I just made it. Let Xiaobao wear it. You should wear one too. It works pretty well."
After Chu Nanzhou heard what Sheng Kangning said, he put the bottles in his hand back into his pocket:
"No wonder you smell like medicine when I saw you. It was raining so hard, but you went out to pick herbs. When did you go out? Did you go out by yourself or did you have someone with you?"
Chu Nanzhou probably didn't even realize that he was nervous when he asked these questions.
"Sister Hongmei went with me, don't worry! She didn't go out alone! And it wasn't far."
Chu Nanzhou's nervousness finally dissipated: "Kang Ning, remember, don't walk around here alone, it's very dangerous! No matter where you go, call Xu Hongmei along, she knows some Kung Fu and can protect you."
Sheng Kangning nodded: "Brother Chu, I know!"
Chu Nanzhou held an umbrella and walked the man to the door of the tent: "Go back! We will be delivering water to the fields soon. The road is slippery! Be careful!"
"Hmm!" Sheng Kangning's eyes fell on the man's half-wet clothes and frowned slightly.
"What are you looking at!" Chu Nanzhou followed the girl's line of sight.
Sheng Kangning coughed lightly and said, "Brother Chu, I'm going back now! You...don't forget to change your clothes."
After that, he leaned forward and kissed Xiaobao on the cheek: "Xiaobao, see you later!"
Sheng Kangning turned around and ran into the tent.
Xiaobao pouted: "Mom!"
Chu Nanzhou whispered in Xiaobao's ear: "Don't worry, she will be your mother soon! Then you will be together and not separate, okay?"
Seeing that Sheng Kangning didn't come out, Xiaobao hugged Chu Nanzhou's neck with aggrieved feeling.
Chu Nanzhou left with an umbrella.
After returning to the tent, Sheng Kangning saw Xu Hongmei putting on a pair of waders. The boots were very long, reaching above the knees.
Sheng Kangning had seen this kind of water boots before. In the Great Northern Wilderness, these were called water socks!
But they look longer than water socks. If Sheng Kangning wore them himself, they would almost reach the thighs.
Xu Hongmei pointed at the bag in Sheng Kangning's hand and said with a smile, "Why are you just standing there? Take it out and put it on. We have to leave soon."
After saying that, Xu Hongmei took out a pair of leggings from the bunk and tied them on her waders.
"What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of getting choked?" Sheng Kangning asked as he bent down to open the bag.
"You don't understand this. There's a gap here. If you don't tie it up, bugs will get in!" Xu Hongmei glanced at Sheng Kangning's legs and said, "Your legs are much thinner than mine. When you put on these water socks, the gap will be bigger than mine. I'll help you tie it up later!"
After seeing clearly what was in the bag, Sheng Kangning clenched his fingers.
Xu Hongmei was already dressed. Seeing Sheng Kangning not moving, she walked over, opened the bag, took out the things from it, placed them one by one on the bunk, and pushed Sheng Kangning onto the bed.
Sheng Kangning sat beside the bed.
Xu Hongmei began to dress her.
After putting on the pair of water socks, Xu Hongmei took the sleeves and rubber gloves.
The sleeves are made of waterproof oilcloth, which is thick and waterproof, and can protect the arms from being scratched by wheat awns.
"Sister Hongmei, Brother Chu..." Sheng Kangning said in a soft voice.
Xu Hongmei laughed:
"I can't tell, the company commander is good to you!"
Xu Hongmei was determined not to miss the opportunity to help her company commander.
Sheng Kangning's heart trembled, and he lowered his voice: "You have it too!"
Xu Hongmei smiled and said, "That's the reward the company commander gave me for protecting you! Maybe you don't know, I was specially called by the company commander to accompany you to the countryside. And this raincoat, you should put it on too! It's for men, and it's a little longer."
