Xia Lunong didn't expect Yan Ningwang to be involved.

This guy often goes out with Lao Liu and the others. Xia Lunong subconsciously thinks of them as a group, but she didn't expect him to act alone.

Xia Lunong thought, "Yan Ningwang and the others are all quite anxious?"

When they go out on adventures when their lives are good, their mentality must not be very good.

Yan Xinian said, "Who isn't anxious these days?"

Xia Lunong thought to herself, I'm okay.

Before he could say it, Yan Xinian turned to look at him, "Come to think of it, you and Kong Zhi don't usually play with the young people in the base?"

Xia Lunong: "I don't have much in common with them."

Yan Xinian looked at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi ate in silence and didn't answer at all.

Yan Xinian knew that this guy had nothing to say to the young people in the base.

The three of them ate, took a shower and went to sleep.

Xia Lunong was too tired today, and he fell asleep as soon as he lay on the bed.

In the middle of the night, someone knocked on his window outside, and the sound woke him up. He turned over and sat up in bed, looking at the window blankly. He didn't know what happened in his half-awake state. He only saw a person standing outside the window, his mouth opening and closing.

He stared at the person for two seconds, raised his head and fell back on the bed.

"Hey! You!" The man stamped his feet outside the window anxiously, "Don't sleep, get up quickly, it's going to rain! Where's Deputy Captain Xia?! It's going to rain!"

With a "click", the window opened, and Xia Huoqu poked his head out of Yan Xinian's room, "Is it going to rain now?"

"Yes, a big dark cloud just came and covered the moon. Deputy Captain Xia, smell the moisture in the air, it's estimated that it will rain soon, get up quickly and harvest peanuts!"

Xia Huoqu immediately said, "Wait a minute!"

The man shouted again, "I'll go to the small square to help first, you guys hold on tight!"

"Okay, thank you for the trouble!"

Xia Huoqu closed the window, and the wind blew out of Yan Xinian's house.

Yan Xinian and Kong Zhi woke up at the same time, picked up their shoulder poles, brooms, shovels, etc., and hurried to the small square.

Xia Lunong waited until their footsteps disappeared before he realized what had happened.

He sat up from the bed, put on his clothes, put on his slippers, and ran outside.

In the dead of night, many people in the base ran out to the small square. In addition to those who were drying peanuts, there were also people drying millet, peppers, and dried vegetables... Now the wind was blowing and it was about to rain, so everyone hurried over to harvest.

When Xia Lunong arrived, many people had already rushed over to help them harvest peanuts.

People sweeping peanuts, picking up peanuts, carrying baskets, shouting...all kinds of people walked through the square, the smell of dust, peanuts, chili peppers, dried vegetables, sweat, etc. mixed together, showing that the scene was very busy.

Xia Lunong didn't care about anything, took the bamboo broom from an old man, and said, "I'll do it."

As he said that, he hurriedly swept the peanuts, sweeping the ground with the broom, making a "swishing" sound.

Some of their peanuts had been harvested, and everyone helped to carry the peanuts to his house.

Xia Lunong swept the peanuts into piles and piles, making it easier for the people behind to put them into baskets.

Soon, all the peanuts were swept up, and he hurried over to pick the peanuts.

At this time, bean-sized raindrops fell.

The wind also blew, and it must be raining soon.

Xia Lunong was anxious, trotting home carrying peanuts, one trip after another.

Soon, the sound of rain became continuous. They had not yet harvested all the peanuts, and some of them were still on the ground.

These peanuts were soaked by the rain and were still warm. When they carried them home, they did not dare to pile them up for fear of them getting moldy, so they spread them on the ground and opened the windows to dry them.

No one expected such a sudden rain tonight, and they were not prepared at all. By the time they got the peanuts home, everyone was exhausted.

Xia Lunong was particularly tired. He sat at the table and panted, saying in frustration, "I don't know how long this rain will last. I hope it will stop when I get up tomorrow morning, otherwise the peanuts will probably sprout."

Xia Huoqu: "Not really. They just got a little rain and will dry up in a while."

Xia Lunong shook his head, "I can already feel the breath of life inside the peanut shells."

The three of them didn't expect him to say that. For a moment, all eyes fell on him.

Xia Lunong thought for a moment and said, "The peanuts now may be different from before the disaster. They seem to be more able to seize every opportunity to sprout."

Xia Huoqu patted his shoulder, "Even if they are going to sprout, there is no way. Go to bed first and wait until tomorrow."

This is all that can be done now.

The four of them said good night to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Before lying down on the bed, Xia Lunong smelled the sweat on his body and wanted to take a shower. He looked at the time and it was already 2:30 in the morning.

If he took a shower at that time, his brother and the others would probably be woken up.

After all this trouble, no one would have to sleep tonight.

Thinking of this, Xia Lunong had to give up.

However, his body was too dirty, and he looked at his clean bed with a little scent of soap, and he couldn't lie down at all.

After hesitating for a long time, he hugged the pillow, ran to the living room quietly, and lay down on the sofa.

Anyway, there were only a few hours left, so it would be okay to deal with each other on the sofa for a while.

Xia Lunong thought so, turned off the mobile phone in his hand, and folded his hands on his abdomen to fall asleep.

Unexpectedly, just after sleeping for a while, Kong Zhi's door opened with a click, and a faint voice came out, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm dirty." Xia Lunong turned over and said, "You sleep, don't worry about me, I'll get up in a few hours."

Kong Zhi looked at him, "Can't you stand this little dirt? What if you have to lie on the ground when you go out to collect supplies?"

"The bed was dirty at that time, too, and it wasn't just me who was dirty." Xia Lunong said vaguely, "Don't worry about it, go to sleep."

Kong Zhi stood by the door, paused for a while, and said, "Get up and boil water yourself."

"No, I'll take care of it for a while."

Kong Zhi stood by the door and didn't go back.

Xia Lunong whispered, "It's too late. If I take a shower, I will wake up my brother and the others."

"It's raining so hard that they can't hear me."

At Kong Zhi's insistence, Xia Lunong got up and went to make a fire to boil water.

Xia Lunong thought that he would go to bed by himself if he called me, but he stayed and sat next to her to accompany her.

"You go to bed, I'll be done here in a while."

"I'll take a shower too."

"...Oh."

The two sat in front of the stove, and Xia Lunong mechanically stuffed firewood into the stove.

He was really too tired today, and he was getting sleepy while burning the fire.

Kong Zhi stretched out his long legs and gently kicked his chair, "Sit aside, I'll light the fire."

Xia Lunong subconsciously raised his hand to wipe his lips, and moved away in response.

Kong Zhi stuffed firewood into the stove one handful after another. The only sounds in the kitchen were the crackling of the broken firewood and the whirring of the flames. The sound of rain outside the window was quite loud.

Xia Lunong was not so sleepy anymore, but he felt more and more hungry.

He covered his stomach. There were no snacks at home. The tomatoes and peppers he made last time had been eaten up, and there was no dinner left. Now there was nothing to eat.

The wind from the window blew in and blew on him, and he couldn't help but shivering.

It's not autumn yet, but the heavy rain has completely eliminated the summer heat.

Kong Zhi raised his eyes, "Cold? Or hungry?"

Xia Lunong felt it for a moment and said, "Cold and hungry."

"We have sweet potatoes at home. How about I stew two for you?"

"Okay, I haven't eaten them for a long time."

Kong Zhi walked outside the living room and took out three long strips of sweet potatoes from the sundries. After returning, he stuffed them into the stove and turned the sweet potatoes with pliers while boiling water.

The first pot of water was quickly boiled. Xia Lunong took out a bucket from the bathroom, scooped water and went to take a bath.

He had short hair, so he washed his hair and took a bath in one go, and rinsed his body clean. He finally felt refreshed, and he sighed comfortably.

"Are you done washing?" Kong Zhi said, "Come and eat sweet potatoes."

Xia Lunong walked over.

Kong Zhi had already taken out the three sweet potatoes that were simmering in the stove and put them on the firewood block beside him to dry.

The skin of the sweet potatoes was charred black. Xia Lunong took the smallest one, tossed it around in his hand, and gently pinched it open when he felt it could be handled directly. After

peeling off the charred outer layer, the orange-yellow sweet potato flesh inside was steaming, emitting a fragrant and sweet aroma.

Xia Lunong took a big sniff and felt even hungrier.

He broke the sweet potato in half, handed the half with most of the skin peeled to Kong Zhi, and bit the other half himself, huffing and puffing, squinting his eyes to feel the sweet taste.

Kong Zhi said calmly, "I don't want to eat it. You can eat it yourself."

"No, this sweet potato is very delicious. Try it." Xia Lunong forced it to him. "It's already the middle of the night. How can you eat alone?"

Kong Zhi didn't take it. He kept holding it up.

After a few seconds, Kong Zhi took it and slowly finished the small half.

Xia Lunong ate two and a half sweet stewed sweet potatoes. The unique feeling of fullness after taking starch made him drowsy.

He turned his head and burped a little. "I feel sleepy after eating."

"Then go to bed quickly."

"Well, I'll go after I brush my teeth. You should take a shower."

Xia Lunong went to the bathroom and brought the clean bucket.

Kong Zhi scooped hot water for himself, added enough cold water and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Xia Lunong took a cup and went to brush his teeth under the eaves. After brushing, he sat on the sofa and played with his mobile phone.

When Kong Zhi came out, he saw the faint light from his mobile phone illuminating half of his face. He paused for a moment and asked, "Why haven't you gone to bed yet?"

Xia Lunong put the phone back in his pocket and smiled. "I'll go now. I'm just waiting for my hair to dry."

Kong Zhi looked at his almost bald short hair and said "hmm" after a while.

Xia Lunong didn't hear him. He was so sleepy that he couldn't even open his eyes. He staggered into the room, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
