Tang Baozhu picked enough sweet potato stalks to make a bowl of soup, and then she saw thunder starting to rumble in the sky. In the south, rain comes very quickly; it doesn't give you time to build up. As soon as there is thunder, the rain will start to fall very quickly.
She put the sweet potato stalks into the vegetable basket and hurried home. She couldn't let herself get soaked in the rain and turn into a mushy mess, otherwise she would easily catch a cold.
Although there is no shortage of various medicines in the space, it is best to avoid taking medicine if possible. It is bitter and unpalatable, and I don't think anyone would like it.
I rushed home, and as soon as I entered the yard, I heard a rustling sound behind me, as if it were chasing me.
I could feel the rain slowly falling from afar towards me, so I quickly ran under the eaves. The rain caught up with me instantly and then started falling towards the mountain behind me.
Tang Baozhu felt it was too dangerous; if she hadn't been fast enough, she might have gotten soaked.
I moved a stool and sat at the entrance to the living room, instead of sitting outside as usual, because a gust of wind could easily wet my clothes.
I took out a bowl, removed the leaves from the sweet potato stalks, and peeled off the fibrous layer on the stalks. I put the peeled stalks in the bowl, ready to eat them when I stir-fry them later.
Looking at the rain outside, which was getting heavier and heavier, I wondered how Feng Yi would get back when he returned.
He didn't bring an umbrella when he went out this morning, so I guess he'll go borrow one. After all, it's just borrowing an umbrella, it's not a big deal.
After all the plants on the poles have been planted, looking at the leaves on the side, I always feel that it's especially inconvenient if you don't have any pets at home, because there's nowhere for those vegetable leaves to go.
After the potatoes and sweet potatoes were harvested, there was nowhere to put the large bunch of sweet potato vines, so I thought about raising some chickens and ducks.
However, I'm worried that raising poultry would be too smelly, and since we live halfway up the mountain, I'm worried that I won't be able to keep the poultry. After all, there are animals like weasels on the mountain, and if they find us, they'll bite us one by one.
Tang Baozhu was worried that the rain had been falling for too long and might cause a landslide. She knew that they lived halfway up the mountain, and if the soil on the mountaintop loosened, it would be very dangerous for them to live halfway up the mountain.
I grabbed an umbrella, opened it, and went outside. I looked at the house and saw that the mountains behind it were covered with lush trees, so I figured I shouldn't have any worries.
However, I feel that the drainage ditch next to the house needs to be dug again, because I'm worried that it will soak the adobe walls and cause them to collapse easily.
It's not suitable to work now, though, because the rain is too heavy. We'll repair the ditches along the wall once the weather clears up.
In this day and age, not having a telephone is a real hassle. With rain like this right now, if we had a telephone, we could just call and tell him not to come home for dinner, saving us the trouble.
Unfortunately, there was no way to notify him. Tang Baozhu knew that Feng Yi would definitely come back at noon. Since moving here, he had never said he wouldn't come back at noon, except when he was on a mission. At this moment, she was a little worried about Feng Yi.
Back in the courtyard, Tang Baozhu prepared to make some ginger soup so that Feng Yi could drink two bowls when he returned, lest he catch a cold from getting caught in the rain on his way back, which would be troublesome.
During this time, she had been assisting Feng Yi from behind, pretending to be learning the craft. Sometimes she would stumble and fall, but she could still make a bowl of food that wasn't burnt, which made Feng Yi particularly gratified, feeling that he had taught her well.
He had no idea how hard Tang Baozhu had pretended not to know how to cook. Now that he thought about it, it was all worth it. He was going to make ginger soup for him now, and if he did it well, Tang Baozhu wouldn't suspect anything and would only think that he had taught her well.
At noon, Feng Yi indeed borrowed an umbrella and returned in the rain. "Brother Yi, why did you come back in such heavy rain? Next time it rains this hard, don't come back. Just eat a meal in the cafeteria, it's fine."
"I'm worried about leaving you home alone, especially since you've only just learned how to cook. I'm worried you won't be able to eat the food you make. Once you've improved your skills, I won't come back when it rains this heavily again."
What Feng Yi really wanted to say was that he was worried about her being home alone. He was afraid that he would be scared being halfway up the mountain in such heavy rain, so he came back without a second thought.
Feng Yi's words deeply moved her. Although she knew that her feelings for Feng Yi would disappear after she left this world, at this moment, she allowed herself to immerse herself in them and slowly respond to his deep affection.
"Brother Yi, I made some ginger soup in the kitchen. I put in a lot of ginger and some brown sugar. Drink two bowls while it's still hot, so you won't have to worry about catching a cold."
Feng Yi wondered if his wife had some misunderstanding about his health. With his strong physique, how could he possibly catch a cold from just a little rain?
But it's my wife's good intention, so let's drink it since it's already prepared.
That's what he said, but if you look closely at his facial expression, you'll know that he was actually enjoying it; he was just being stubborn.
"Honey, the ladies in the family quarters all say they haven't met you yet. They're thinking of inviting you over sometime so everyone can get to know you. I didn't agree right away, but I said I'd listen to you."
Tang Baozhu doesn't seem to be particularly enthusiastic about making friends. They're just curious about her now because they haven't met her yet. But once they do, they might not want to be friends with her anymore.
She couldn't fit in. Tang Baozhu was fair-skinned and delicate to begin with, and she didn't do much work after arriving here. She was different from the other military wives. They had to take care of the fields outside after finishing their work at home. When they got together, they were like a flock of black swans, with a white swan suddenly mutating among them.
Moreover, she had also heard that city wives and country wives were incompatible; city wives looked down on country wives, and country wives looked down on the spoiled nature of city wives.
Neither side paid any attention to the other. However, Tang Baozhu was also from the city. The other women from the city invited her to play with them, but that was only to isolate the women from the countryside.
Tang Baozhu is hundreds of years old across these worlds combined; how could she possibly do such a thing?
Although she knew that if she didn't go over there, the city women would isolate her, and the women from the countryside would definitely ignore her, she wasn't afraid of being alone.
