The children returned home still feeling indignant, their cicada shells stolen heartbreaking. But no one blamed Baoya. After all, she was young and had been tricked by a bad guy; it was the bad guy's fault and they should be blamed.
Besides, Baoya herself had found a lot of cicada shells. Her things were stolen by someone, so they couldn't blame her. They were already heartbroken.
When they got home, the children gave the cicada shells to Feng Guizhi as usual. Yuanbao wanted to complain to Feng Guizhi that someone had cheated Baoya out of the cicada shells, but thinking that Baoya would be sad, the children kept it to themselves.
Before going to bed at night, Baoya was still thinking about what Shen Yibei said about coming back. She wondered if he hadn't found anyone after he went back. But they could still go tomorrow and see each other then.
Thinking of this, Baoya slowly fell asleep.
However, plans can't keep up with changes. The next afternoon, a strong wind started to blow. Baoya was still at home at that time. Seeing the strong wind, the other children didn't dare to go out either.
"It's a tornado!" Yuanbao shouted as he watched the leaves on the ground swirling in the wind.
The children watched from the yard as the wind grew stronger and stronger, knocking down some things in the yard. In such a situation, Song Bowen knew not to go out without Feng Guizhi's warning.
"It's windy. Let's not go out this afternoon. Let's just stay home and learn to read."
Although the younger ones felt a little regretful and wanted to go out, they all agreed. Only Baoya stood at the door of the main room, looking at the wind outside, her brows furrowed.
However, Baoya also knew that it was not safe to go out, so she did not tell Song Bowen that she wanted to go out. That is, when she was studying in the house, she always couldn't help but run out to see if the wind had stopped, because she was still thinking about what Shen Yibei said.
However, the wind outside not only did not die down, but it actually grew stronger. Even the adults who were working were asked to return home.
Shen Yibei, Zhao Rongsheng, and Jiang Qiuli also returned to the cowshed because the wind was too strong and they didn't have to work.
The cowshed was already very simple, and it made a rustling sound when the wind blew, as if it would collapse at any second.
The wind was blowing too hard, and it was cloudy, so it was a bit cold even in summer.
, but it's still chilly.
Zhao Rongsheng asked Jiang Qiuli to get on the bed. He used the stove to boil some hot water for her to drink to warm her body.
Shen Yibei stood at the door and looked outside, his brows furrowed. Like Baoya, he was wondering when the wind would stop. But after waiting for a while, the wind didn't stop at all.
Seeing that it was getting later and later, Shen Yibei could no longer stay in the shed, so he took the things he had found in the mountains yesterday, put on a coat and went out.
Jiang Qiuli saw him and quickly called him: "Xiaobei, it's so windy outside, where are you going?"
Zhao Rongsheng also hurriedly said, "The cicada shells you brought back yesterday are enough for now. There's no need to go out and look for them. The wind is too strong and it's dangerous outside."
Shen Yibei thought about what he said yesterday, but still didn’t change his mind: “I have something to do when I go out, I will be careful.”
After saying that, he picked up a branch and held it in his hand, heading towards the back mountain.
The wind was so strong that it was difficult for Shen Yibei to walk. He was thin to begin with, and the strong wind seemed to be about to blow him away. He poked the ground with a branch, pressed his body down, and slowly walked up the mountain.
When we finally arrived, the mountain was empty, with no one there at all.
In fact, Shen Yibei also guessed in his heart that Baoya and the others would not come out in such weather, but he still had to go there and see it with his own eyes before giving up. Because he promised to bring the things to her.
He hugged a tree and hid behind it, waiting in the cold wind until it was almost dark. Only when he was sure that Baoya and the others would not come did he turn around and go down the mountain.
“Hurry, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up.” As soon as she saw Shen Yibei coming back, Jiang Qiuli quickly poured him a cup of tea.
After being blown outside for more than an hour, Shen Yibei's hands were already a little stiff. He held the water cup to warm it for a while before he felt a little better.
He sat on his bed and carefully took the things out of his clothes.
He didn't give it out. He looked outside, not knowing what he was thinking.
......
Baoya waited until dark, but the wind outside didn't die down, instead it grew stronger. She frowned, feeling a little worried.
After dinner, everyone went back to bed early. The wind outside was even stronger, howling loudly, making it impossible for anyone to sleep.
The whistling wind rustled the leaves, and two hours later
It started to thunder, each thunder became louder and louder, as if it was going to shake a hole in the sky.
In the west room, Baoya and Tianen were both carried to the big bed. Tianen and Song Jianye slept on one end, and Yang Yulan slept on the other end holding Baoya. Yang Yulan covered Baoya's ears and slowly patted her to sleep.
That night, almost everyone in the team did not sleep.
Thunder was accompanied by lightning. The rumbling thunder was deafening, and the bright lightning flashed across the night, making it as bright as day.
Baoya looked at the flash of light outside and slowly fell asleep under Yang Yulan's patting.
Baoya didn't sleep well that night and woke up several times in a daze. When she woke up in the morning, her eyes were still too sleepy to open. However, after waking up, Baoya didn't think about what Shen Yibei said anymore.
It was still raining outside and the wind was getting stronger.
Song Yuangang used the loudspeaker to announce this morning that there would be no work today and asked everyone to stay at home and not go out without permission.
The wind was howling outside. Feng Guizhi prepared breakfast and brought it to everyone's room to eat. The younger ones were not allowed to go out.
It was only a few steps away from the kitchen, and Yang Yulan ran back and forth twice before she finished serving the food, and her clothes were soaked.
After changing into dry clothes and hanging the wet ones to dry, Yang Yulan hurriedly urged them, "Eat quickly! It's getting cold."
The family of four was eating at a small table beside the bed. Baoya took a sip of the porridge. It was not so hot now, and it tasted just right, warming her stomach.
While continuing to drink, she opened her eyes and looked at Song Jianye, Yang Yulan, and Song Tianen, then pursed her lips and slowly smiled.
"Little Bao sister...sister, you...what are you laughing at?" Song Tianen asked curiously when he saw Baoya smiling.
Baoya put down the bowl, pointed at the rice with her little hand, and after thinking for a moment, she said, "Let's eat together."
Song Jianye and Yang Yulan repeated these three words in their minds several times before they guessed that Baoya might mean that they should have dinner together.
Yang Yulan thought about it and it was true. They usually ate in the main room. Song Jianye basically ate alone in the room, and the two younger ones sat at another table. The four of them had never sat together to eat.
"If you want in the future, can we eat together again?" Yang Yulan said with a smile as she stroked Baoya's hair.
Baoya tilted her head and thought about it, nodded, and then shook her head: "Okay, not good."
Although Baoya also wants her family to eat together, she also likes everyone to eat together because they are all one family.
Yang Yulan and Song Jianye both laughed. Although the wind was blowing strongly outside, the house was warm and cozy.
After dinner, the wind outside did not stop at all. Yang Yulan closed the doors and windows, sat by the window with her sewing basket, and prepared to make clothes for Baoya.
I was busy recently and didn't have time to do it, but today I have the time.
Song Jianye sat on the slit nylon bag beside the bed and continued to weave the reed mat. Baoya and Tianen squatted beside him, handing Song Jianye anything he needed.
Yang Yulan looked up from time to time, with a smile on her lips.
After lunch, Baoya and Tianen continued to stay in the house to watch Song Jianye weave reed mats, but Song Boyu, Yuanbao and the others could not stay any longer.
"Tian'en, Wenjie, Xiaobao sister, Yuanbao..." Song Boyu stood at the door, sticking his head out and shouting loudly towards the outside.
Upon hearing the sound, Yuanbao immediately jumped out of bed, ran to the door and opened it, "I... Ouch!"
As soon as Yuanbao opened the door, the wind rushed in and almost blew him down. Yuanbao held the door tightly, and the wind blew his face unconscious.
He stood up straight, closed the door a little, and tucked his head behind the door, responding: "Second brother~!"
Wenjie and Wenzhi were also lying by the door, shouting, "I'm so bored, let's go to the same room and play together."
"Okay! Let's play together!" Yuanbao was the first to respond. He was almost going crazy after just one morning.
The little ones all lay by the door and discussed across the yard. However, Yuanbao suddenly remembered: "Where are Fifth Brother and Little Sister Xiaobao?"
The children looked towards the west room and saw that the door was tightly closed. Song Boyu immediately decided, "Let's go to the west room to play."
Yuanbao and the others had no objection and decided on it right away.
That is, before Yuanbao even opened the door, he was about to be blown away. He quickly turned back to ask his father for help:
"Dad, please take me to Xiaobao's room. I can't get through."
Song Jianshe was sitting on the bed teasing Tiantian. When he heard it, he refused without even raising his head: "Dad wants to hold your sister Tiantian, so he doesn't have time to hold you. You still...
Don't go, Tiantian will need you as her brother to change her diaper later."
Yuanbao turned his face away immediately when he heard it: "Only stinky daddies change stinky diapers."
He turned around and began to ask for help from his own brother, stuffing his face through the crack of the door and shouting outside: "Brother, I can't get through, can you come and pick me up?"
"Okay, we'll come pick you up."
Behind Song Bowen was Song Boyu, and behind Song Boyu was Yun Duo. The three of them walked to the east room against the wind as if they were waiting for a train, to pick up Yuanbao.
Song Boyu: "Come, stand in front of me and hold on to Big Brother's clothes, and I'll hold you."
"good."
The three-car train became four. The little ones seemed to have discovered new fun and ran to Wenjie and Wenzhi to pick them up. Then the six of them went to the west room together.
"Tian'en, Xiaobao sister, please open the door quickly, we are here to play with you." Before they arrived, several children raised their hands to their mouths and shouted.
Baoya and Tianen in the room heard it and immediately stood up and ran to open the door.
"Wait a minute, mom will open it." Yang Yulan said quickly, put down the things in her hands and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the howling wind from outside rushed in, making Baoya shiver with cold.
Song Bowen and the others rushed in, one after another, their faces flushed. Yang Yulan quickly closed the door again, blocking the wind outside, which was whistling, and the room suddenly became much warmer.
Yang Yulan ignored the children while they were playing together. She sat back by the window and continued sewing clothes.
"Uncle San, are you weaving reed mats?" Yuanbao asked curiously.
Several younger ones gathered around and watched curiously.
"Yes." Song Jianye looked at the little ones and replied with a smile, his hands never stopping.
He hurried to make more so he could sell more to pay for the children's school fees. After all, the reed mats only lasted for a short time, the summer.
"Can I learn it, Uncle San?"
"If you want to learn, Uncle San will teach you."
Song Jianye was busy with his hands, and several younger children picked up the unused ones nearby and started to weave them. He talked to them from time to time, telling them where they were wrong and where they were right. The younger children also became more and more serious in learning.
After working for two hours, the children were a little tired and sat on the bed to rest.
However, Yuanbao looked at Song Jianye's legs, then looked outside, and asked in confusion:
"Uncle San, when are you going to town to get your leg treated?"
