Mother Sun glanced at Father Sun, who wiped his head and ran to open the door for Old Lady Sun.
Sun Ye went to the inner room to move a chair over, and Sun's mother went to the kitchen to get a bowl of warm ginger tea.
"Mom, why are you here when it's raining so hard? If you have anything to say, we can wait until the rain stops. Otherwise, we can ask Sun Wen and Sun Wu to come over to our old house. You're old now, and if you fall or get hurt, it will be terrible..."
"Stop, stop, stop. I'm wearing a straw raincoat, so I won't get wet. Third wife, let me take a breath first."
Mr. and Mrs. Sun helped Old Lady Sun take off her dripping raincoat, and Mr. Sun put it under the eaves window to dry.
Sun Ye brought the ginger soup prepared on the table and handed it to Old Lady Sun, saying, "Grandma, drive away the cold."
Old Lady Sun took the bowl and drank it in a few gulps. She put down the bowl and touched Sun Ye's head. Sun Ye was now as tall as Old Lady Sun, so Old Lady Sun couldn't touch Sun Ye's head. Seeing this, Sun Ye bent his knees so that Old Lady Sun could touch him.
"Ye Zi is already this tall, she's grown up."
After saying this, Old Lady Sun turned around and sat on the chair. Mother Sun, Father Sun and Sun Ye each found a seat and sat down.
Old Lady Sun raised her eyelids and glanced at Sun Ye, who was sitting upright. She cleared her throat and said, "When will this rain stop? It keeps coming down like this. What will the weather be like after it stops?"
Facing his father's glare of doubt, Sun Ye said softly, "It should stop around eight or nine tomorrow morning. The rain will only lighten up a bit tonight."
Sun Ye pointed a little distance with his thumb and index finger, then continued, "The weather may not be good even after the rain stops. Without the sun, we won't be able to dry the rice."
"Isn't it wrong?"
Sun Ye nodded affirmatively. She looked at the sky whenever she had time. She looked over and over again until her neck was sore, but there was no change at all.
"No, mother, why ask Ye Zi about this? She's just a child, how can she know about rain or sunshine?"
Dad Sun asked again. He felt that his mother and wife were confused in their work and kept saying stupid things.
"Ye Zi, don't talk nonsense. You're really trying to fool your grandma and the others. If you really want to know when the rain will stop, you should ask the veterans in the team. They're more reliable than Ye Zi."
"Dad, everything I said is true."
Sun Ye was helpless and said earnestly, "Dad, it was me who told grandma and the others last night that it would rain today, so we had the team work overnight. Okay, even if you don't believe me, you have to believe grandma. When has grandma ever been confused?"
"real?"
Dad Sun turned his head for confirmation and looked at Old Lady Sun. Old Lady Sun nodded slightly. Dad Sun was stunned and sat motionless on the bench, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Don't worry about your dad's big mouth, Ye Zi. You know the astronomical phenomena. No matter who asks you about this, just say you don't know. Don't admit that you know, okay?"
Sun Ye understood what Old Lady Sun meant after a little thought. A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. This is not a good thing, so he nodded.
"Also, Third Brother's wife, keep your mouth shut and don't let anything leak out."
"Grandma, what if the captain asks you how you knew it was going to rain?"
"What do you mean? Just say that your ancestor told me in a dream. How can a junior like me force an elder like me? Don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything."
"Grandma, what if the captain doesn't believe it?"
"It's up to him whether he believes it or not. Anyway, I've already found a reason."
Sun Ye understood that her grandma was trying to cheat and get away with it, but she was a grown-up girl and wanted to help.
Moreover, Sun Ye also discovered that when the adults need you, you are a grown-up girl or boy, but when they don’t need you, you are just a child or a brat. It’s a complete double standard.
After that, Old Lady Sun said a lot more, and Sun Ye could only listen with his ears perked up, without any room to interrupt. Even after Old Lady Sun left, Dad Sun was still confused, and was out of focus and dazed throughout the entire conversation.
Sun Ye said something to his mother and went back to the house. He had not slept well and was yawning non-stop due to sleepiness. He would handle the follow-up matters as he pleased. She would never say a word if she was needed. But it seemed that neither of them was willing to step in themselves.
I sat on the bed, shook my groggy head, kicked off my shoes, and went to bed to sleep.
Here, Mr. Sun's loud and small-tempered exclamations could no longer wake up Sun Ye. As for the questions in Mr. Sun's head, they were left to Mrs. Sun to answer. The husband and wife are one.
When Sun Ye woke up again, the rain had subsided a little, at least it didn't hurt as much when it hit people. The dishes were already set out in the main room, and it was time for dinner.
Sun Ye rubbed his face roughly. The door opened and the wind and raindrops were blown by the wind. Suddenly, the sleepiness disappeared completely. He even felt a little cold, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.
He turned around and went back to the house to rummage through the box to find a long-sleeved shirt to put on, then ran to the main room and sat down.
"Little sister, how come you can sleep so well? My brother and I have been up for a long time." This was said by Sun Lin.
Sun Ye rolled her eyes at her second brother. She didn't want to talk to this idiot, for fear of making herself angry. The representative of those who speak without thinking was her second brother.
"What's wrong with me?" Sun Ye could still hear Sun Lin's aggrieved voice from a distance, as if he had been hit on the head by Sun Sen.
Sun Ye entered the kitchen and saw that his mother had almost finished her work and did not need her help, so he stepped out. In the distance, the sky was raining heavily and he could not see clearly. He reached out and caught a small handful of rain water, then spread it out and repeated the action.
"Little sister, what's so fun about this rain?"
Sun Lin came forward. Sun Lin was a little bit taller than Sun Ye, about three to five centimeters. It seemed that Sun Ye would be the tallest in the future.
Sun Ye turned his head and flicked the few drops of water in his hand at Sun Lin's big face. Sun Lin was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. He wiped his face, caught some water in his palm, and chased Sun Ye to splash him. Unexpectedly, Sun Ye stepped back and splashed the water steadily on Sun's mother who was coming towards him.
The air seemed silent for a few seconds, and time seemed to stop.
Sun Lin opened his eyes wide, looked at his mother's wet collar, then looked at the culprit, and quickly hid his hands behind his back, pretending nothing had happened.
What greeted Sun Lin was his mother's roar and slap. Of course, Sun Lin started playing "Eagle Catches Chicken" with his mother without thinking, chasing each other.
Sun Ye was also laughing so hard that she bent over with her hands covering her mouth. She really didn't expect there would be such a thing. It should be said that her second brother's idea was a bit unlucky.
After the fight, Sun's mother became angry. She didn't actually want to do anything to Sun Lin, but she just instinctively felt that she should give him a thumbs up.
This dinner was a little early. She had slept too much during the day and couldn't fall asleep now. Dad Sun took his two brothers to the old house in the heavy rain. Sun Ye didn't know what they were doing. But it must be related to her. At the dinner table, Dad Sun's eyes were hesitant to speak, and from time to time he looked at her, then at Mom Sun, and he looked at her eagerly.
There were only mother and daughter left at home. After washing and tidying up, they went out to visit relatives. Because of the rain, they could only visit relatives nearby, and this time they went to Fourth Aunt's house.
The meal was over at this time, and Fourth Aunt's family was just cleaning up the dishes, so it was a coincidence that Sun Ye and the others arrived.
"Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt!"
Sun Ye shouted as soon as she opened her mouth, and walked to Sun Miao's side and stood with Sun Miao. The two little sisters looked at each other, stretched out their hands, and pulled each other.
The little girl from Fourth Aunt's family was very small. She stared at Sun Ye with her big eyes without blinking, and tried hard to get into Fourth Aunt's arms. She looked quite shy, unlike Sun Miao, who was very outgoing.
Sun Ye squatted down, opened her arms, and said to Sun He, "Little He He, come to me. I'll give you something delicious. Do you want some?"
Sun He took a look and felt a little moved, but also a little scared. He turned his head and buried himself in Fourth Aunt's arms, ignoring Sun Ye, but glancing over here from time to time.
Sun Ye could only smile and shake her head. She didn't know what happened. The little guy didn't come over. She remembered that she was very popular with children, but when she grew up, the children didn't like her anymore. She didn't know why.
"That's your Sister Ye, the one who gave you candy. Would you like to go to Sister Ye's place?"
When Fourth Aunt straightened Sun He's face and asked this question, the little guy shook his head even more vigorously, holding on to Fourth Aunt's thighs tightly with both hands.
"She's shy. She'll get to you in a little while."
Sun Ye nodded to show his understanding. Human cubs are always too cute and too naughty, and you have to love and hate them.
Sun Ye and Sun Miao also sat next to the adults and listened to them talk. By the way, Sun Ye also played with Sun Miao's hands. The two hands were very different.
Sun Ye's hands are slender and long, like scallions, while Sun Miao's hands are round and cute, with small dimples on the back of his hands, which Sun Ye envied.
My auntie next to me said, "What a jerk! It doesn't rain when it should, and it keeps raining even when it shouldn't. What are we going to eat this New Year?"
"Xiuzhen, do you have enough food at home?"
"That's not enough! The little brat is eating me out of my house, and my two little guys can never be full."
"You know, the captain is amazing. He had everyone finished work and I was already home, but he was busy and the whole family was rushing back to gather."
Sun's mother was silent. Could she say it was because of her and her mother? She absolutely couldn't do that!
"They even told us to work overtime overnight. You don't know how I almost laughed out loud at that time. We were already rushing to harvest, and you shouldn't be so disrespectful to us."
"Speaking of which, I remember your family was the first to respond to the captain's words. Do you have any inside information?"
Mother Sun opened her mouth several times before finally speaking. "What inside information? I felt it was right to trust the captain. Over the years, he's always done things in a thorough and reliable manner. And, let me tell you, I didn't really listen to what he said at the time. Wouldn't it be enough to just let the third child agree? Why would I overthink it so much?"
Sun Ye was stunned when she heard Sun Ma's lies. If she had not really been involved in it, she would have believed Sun Ma's words. It must be said that Sun Ma opened Sun Ye's eyes. This is what it means to lie without thinking.
"That's true. The captain is amazing. How did he know it would rain today? Thanks to the captain, he's a good man. Only then will we have a better life this year."
Mother Sun nodded enthusiastically in agreement.
Sun Ye smiled sweetly, keeping his achievements and fame to himself.
