Wei Yuyan was worried that her brother-in-law might pick some poisonous flower and bring it back, which would be troublesome.
"That way, if I don't recognize it in the future, I can just take it to the clinic and ask them. That way, everyone can rest assured."
Chen Yu also felt that Wei Yuyan's words made sense.
"Hmm, we've picked quite a few. Let's take a break and have some steamed buns."
Wei Yuyan was a little tired, so she sat down, took out a tinderbox, and lit a fire. Her brother-in-law also gathered some firewood, and the two of them started to heat up some steamed buns to eat.
After finishing their meal and resting for a while, the two of them started their descent down the mountain, since they still had some forsythia blossoms to pick.
"Little sister, the weather doesn't look right. Why don't you stop picking the forsythia and go home?"
Chen Yu felt that it was particularly hot and humid today. This kind of abnormal heat and humidity is usually accompanied by heavy rain.
"It'll probably rain later tonight, it shouldn't rain now, don't worry, it won't be long."
Wei Yuyan thought there wasn't a single cloud in the sky, so how could it be raining?
"Then we need to hurry up, better safe than sorry."
Chen Yu quickened his pace; it would be troublesome if it rained, as the fragrance of the flowers would be ruined.
Not only was today's effort wasted, but the two of them also have nowhere to shelter from the rain.
The two quickened their pace and began picking forsythia flowers.
“Look, the wind is picking up. What if it rains later? There’s no pavilion here to shelter from the rain.”
Chen Yu picked some leaves for a while and then felt the wind pick up. The sky was also starting to darken, so it was definitely going to rain.
There are pavilions on the mountains near my hometown to shelter from the rain, but I don't know if there are any on these mountains.
“There’s no pavilion on this mountain in our village, so let’s hurry back. Who knew the rain would come so suddenly?”
Wei Yuyan saw dark clouds appearing in the sky and began to panic. She was still far from home and needed to hurry home.
"good".
Chen Yu packed up his basket and followed Wei Yuyan down the mountain.
"Splash splash~".
We had only reached halfway up the mountain when a torrential downpour began, so heavy that there was no way to avoid it.
"Here, little sister, stand here."
Chen Yu quickly pulled Wei Yuyan under a big tree. The tree had dense foliage that could block most of the rainwater.
"What should we do now? The heavy rain shouldn't last much longer, right?"
Wei Yuyan could only pray that the heavy rain would end soon; if it kept raining, she couldn't possibly spend the night on the mountain.
"Little sister, here's your coat on, so you don't catch a cold."
Chen Yu noticed that Wei Yuyan was covered in rain and would definitely catch a cold if she continued like this, so he took off his coat and gave it to her.
"No, you're only wearing an undershirt. It's no wonder you get sick. I'm fine. I'll just go home and change when the rain stops."
Wei Yuyan refused. The weather was cool and rainy, and she was already cold even wearing a padded jacket, let alone not wearing one.
Seeing that Wei Yuyan insisted on not wearing it, Chen Yu had no choice but to put it on again. He thought he still had to find a way to go back.
"Little sister, those banana leaves look good, I'll go pick some."
Chen Yu spotted some banana leaves not far away and decided to pick a few to use as rain shelter.
"Forget it, if you go out, you'll probably get soaked to the bone. Even if you want to do it, wait until the rain gets a little lighter."
Wei Yuyan saw that the rain hadn't lessened at all, and although she and her brother-in-law were standing under the tree, they weren't soaked despite the wind and rain.
Chen Yu looked at the rain with some helplessness; the rain had come at the worst possible time.
Yuhan must be worried about herself and her brother-in-law at home...
The two waited under the tree for about 15 minutes until the rain finally subsided a bit.
"Yu Yan~, Chen Yu~".
Just as Chen Yu was about to pick banana leaves, he heard Wu Chen's voice.
"Wu Chen, we're here~".
Chen Yu shouted excitedly, and then he saw a tall figure coming up from below.
Although Wei Yuyan was excited and moved, she held back and did not shout.
"Your clothes are wet, wear mine."
Wu Chen was wearing a straw hat and a raincoat, and the clothes underneath were dry.
Seeing that Wei Yuyan's clothes were already partially wet, he quickly took off his own coat and gave it to Wei Yuyan to wear.
"Change when you get home, or you'll catch a cold."
Wei Yuyan hesitated.
"I won't, hurry up, or I'll change it for you myself?"
This time, Wu Chen stopped indulging her and forced her to change into his own clothes.
Wei Yuyan lowered her head, turned her back, took off her wet coat, and put on Wu Chen's coat.
At this moment, she finally felt warm, because the coat still carried Wu Chen's warmth.
"Brother-in-law, put on your raincoat~".
In addition to the raincoat he was wearing, Wu Chen also brought two other raincoats.
After dressing Chen Yu and Wei Yuyan, they prepared to descend the mountain.
"Yu Yan, follow behind me, walk in the places I have walked."
Wu Chen was worried that Wei Yuyan might accidentally step into a puddle.
And so, after three months of stumbling and struggling, I finally made it home.
"Yuyan, there's hot water in the pot. You all hurry up and wash up and change into dry clothes. It's almost time. I'm going to pick up the children."
Wu Chen had warmed the water in the pot before he went, and it was still hot.
It was time for the children to get out of school, and with the heavy rain, he prepared to drive his horse-drawn carriage to pick them up.
"Clothes~".
Wei Yuyan quickly gave him the coat and prepared to take a bath.
"I'll make you brown sugar ginger water when I get back~".
Wu Chen quickly set off after speaking, as it would be bad if he were late.
Wei Yuyan felt as if she had taken a hot shower. Even though she was careful, her shoes and socks were still a little wet and her feet were icy cold.
After changing into clean clothes, I came out to find the children had already returned.
"Sister-in-law, did you get caught in the rain today?"
Qianqian quickly ran up to ask, and Xiaolei also looked at her with concern.
"Just a little bit, it's nothing. Your older brother said he'd make us ginger tea, and we'll be fine after drinking it."
Wei Yuyan patted their heads.
"Here you go, it's cooked, brown sugar ginger tea with eggs."
Wu Chen cooked a bowl for everyone, with an egg in each bowl.
"Ah-choo~".
Wei Yuyan felt a tickle in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze. Everyone looked at her with concern in their eyes.
"Have some tea."
Wei Yuyan quickly picked up the bowl, lest she catch a cold, and drank some to dispel the chill.
"Brother-in-law, it's raining, why don't we go back a little later?"
Seeing Chen Yu about to leave with his oil-paper umbrella, Wu Chen advised him to wait until the rain subsided before continuing.
“Yuhan must be worried sick at home. I’ll borrow Lifu’s oxcart to go back later. I won’t drive your horse-drawn carriage.”
While carriages were convenient, Chen Yu had never driven one.
"Alright, then be careful on the road, and wear this raincoat and straw hat."
Wu Chen helped his brother-in-law put the raincoat back on.
"What would you like to eat for dinner?"
Wu Chen was about to cook when he looked at Wei Yuyan.
"Eat scrambled eggs."
