Chapter 101: Mom, I have a miserable life
That night, Shi Luo and Jiang Hao were sleeping soundly when they heard a click.
The two of them opened their eyes at the same time. Jiang Hao sat up and opened the window a little, and saw that the sky outside was as bright as day for a moment. In the light, he could see the rain pouring down outside.
Before the two of them could react, another bolt of thunder struck down.
Jiang Hao closed the window, held Shi Luo in his arms and lay down, patted his back, and whispered, "The thunder is really loud today, and the rain outside looks pretty heavy."
Shi Luo stretched the blanket covering the two people and said, "I seemed to hear crying just now. It sounded like a boy and a girl. It should be Jiang Jiang and Bei Bei crying."
Jiang Hao patted Shi Luo's back and said, "I heard it too. The two children are still young. They might have been scared and cried by the thunder. It's okay. There are adults at home. They should be comforted in no time."
The thunder outside lasted for about twenty minutes before it stopped.
After the thunder stopped, the sound of rain became even louder. Shi Luo blinked his eyes. "Don't they say that thunder is loud but rain is light? Why does the rain seem to be getting heavier?"
Jiang Hao was amused. "Old sayings don't always ring true. Maybe today is different. Baby, aren't you sleepy anymore?"
Shi Luo was sleepy. He had been unable to sleep because of the thunder just now. "I'm sleepy. The thunder has just stopped. Let's go to sleep quickly. I don't know if I can go to work tomorrow morning. I really want to rest."
"If the rain doesn't stop, we definitely won't be able to work. Anyway, the seeds have been planted, the fertilizer has been applied, and the fields aren't too busy. It's normal for the team to give everyone a day off during the rain."
After Jiang Hao finished speaking, he looked down at Shi Luo in his arms and found that Shi Luo had fallen asleep. He smiled silently, kissed Shi Luo's forehead, closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.
The next morning, Jiang Hao woke up and saw Shi Luo still sleeping soundly. He carefully pulled his arm out, put on his clothes, and got off the kang. When he opened the door, he saw that it was still raining outside.
The rain was much lighter than last night. I went out with an umbrella and saw my father walking back from outside in a raincoat.
"Dad, what have you been doing so early in the morning? Have you had breakfast?"
Jiang Jianguo rolled his eyes at Jiang Hao and said, "I haven't eaten yet. I'll eat later. It's still early. It's already half past six. I just went to the fields and came back."
Jiang Hao's mouth twitched, thinking that half past six wasn't early, so when was it considered early? "How's the situation in the fields?"
Jiang Jianguo was very happy. "Not bad, this rain came at the right time. I see the fields are almost soaked. If it hadn't rained in the next two days, I would have organized the team to carry water for the fields. This will save the team a lot of trouble."
Jiang Hao was also very happy. After all, carrying water to irrigate the fields was a very tiring job. It was really good that this rain could save him from this task. "So, are you still going to work today?"
Jiang Jianguo knew that this kid had a purpose in talking to him, so he said unhappily, "No, wait until tomorrow. I went to the fields today and met an old farmer who knows how to predict the weather. He said the rain will probably stop in half a day, so we can take a break. What are you doing with an umbrella?"
When Jiang Hao heard Jiang Jianguo's question, he remembered what he was going to do. He couldn't hold it in any longer and said as he walked to the toilet, "Toilet, oh, I won't tell you anymore, I can't hold it in any longer."
Jiang Jianguo looked at Jiang Hao and shook his head, thinking, Lao Wu is almost twenty years old, but still so unstable.
Jiang Jianguo went back to the house to eat, then went to the brigade headquarters wearing a raincoat. There was no other way. As the brigade leader, he had to go to the brigade headquarters to work even if it rained.
What the old farmer said was right. The sky cleared up around two o'clock in the afternoon.
It is said that this person cannot be idle. If he is idle, something will definitely happen.
Shi Luo and Jiang Hao were grinding walnut and sesame powder with a small stone mill in the house when they heard a noisy sound in the yard.
Shi Luo looked at the half-ground walnut and sesame powder and thought for a moment, "Open the window. The rain has stopped and the rain won't be blown in. It's a good opportunity to ventilate the house."
Jiang Hao smiled and casually pushed open a window. "You just want to watch the fun. Why are you looking for any excuse to come to me? The sky just cleared up and someone came. I don't know who it is."
Jiang Hao looked out the window and saw an elderly woman and a boy of eighteen or nineteen being welcomed into the house by her sister-in-law Li Qian.
"Who are those two?" Shi Luo asked while turning the small stone mill in his hand.
Jiang Hao has two stone mills in total, which were made by his second son Jiang He. They are usually used to grind rice flour or black sesame powder. For the convenience of use, these two stone mills are very small and exquisite. Shi Luo likes them very much.
Jiang Hao even gave Jiang He a large piece of cotton cloth in exchange for these two stone mills.
Jiang Hao also turned the millstone in his hand, and after a moment of recollection, he said, "That's my eldest sister-in-law's mother, and her brother from her mother's side."
Shi Luo: "Hey, why are they here? It's not a festival."
Jiang Hao was quite familiar with the family situations of his brother's father-in-laws. He guessed, "They're probably just trying to get something for free. They wouldn't come to our house if they had nothing to do. The man she brought today must be getting married."
Li Qian's mother, Old Lady Sun and Li Jun really came here to extort money.
Li Qian was very happy to see people from her mother's family coming to see her. After welcoming the two people into the house, she quickly made two bowls of brown sugar water for them. She also took out the Mao Ke and glutinous rice noodles at home to treat her mother and brother.
Old Mrs. Sun drank some red sugar water, took a piece of glutinous rice sticks and ate them while saying, "Qian, your brother has a girlfriend and they have been discussing the wedding date for a while."
Li Qian was really happy when she heard that her younger brother was going to get married. Her younger brother was the only one in her family who hadn't gotten married yet, and he was almost twenty years old. Now her mother could finally put her worries to rest.
Li Qian smiled so hard that she couldn't stop. "Mom, this is great news. When my brother gets married, I will definitely give him a big red envelope."
