Shen Qinghe and Jiang Chunlin were trapped in the county town by the rain, and they stood under the eaves of the supply and marketing cooperative to shelter from the rain.
A sudden heavy rain trapped many people.
If you are lucky, you can find a place to shelter from the rain, but if you are unlucky, you will be drenched like chicken soup.
Jiang Chunlin went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy something. Halfway there he noticed that the weather was becoming increasingly cloudy, and it even felt like it was getting dark.
Feeling something was wrong, he turned back and asked Shen Qinghe to close the stall.
Shen Qinghe also felt that the weather was not right. After packing up, the two were about to go back when heavy raindrops came down. They stood under the eaves of the supply and marketing cooperative to shelter from the rain.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and soon the street in front of me turned into a small river.
It seemed like there was a big hole in the sky, and the water was rushing down.
Jiang Chunlin frowned as he watched the rain getting heavier.
Most of the roads in the county are asphalt. Even after a heavy rain, the roads remain the same and are washed clean. But in the village...
Shen Qinghe looked at the rain curtain and felt a little panicked.
I have never seen such heavy rain in my life.
When watching short videos in real life, she had seen such heavy rain that some people were even washed away by the water. She only sympathized for a few seconds, and as soon as her little hand swiped, she was attracted to the new short video. She could not remember clearly what video she had watched in the previous second.
But at this moment, she was really shocked by the heavy rain in front of her.
In his mind were various short videos of floods that he had seen in real life. His face became paler and paler, his hands tightly grasped the hem of his clothes, and he stared anxiously at the garbage floating everywhere due to the water.
If the rain had been heavier, she might have ended up like this piece of trash.
“Don’t be afraid!”
Jiang Chunlin turned his head and saw Shen Qinghe's face was abnormally pale with fright. He quietly pinched her hand and quickly let go.
In this innocent age, even couples do not dare to hug each other in the street.
Even if we hold hands, we have to do it secretly.
Shen Qinghe came back to her senses, and the disaster movies in her mind stopped. When she met Jiang Chunlin's calm and steady eyes, she was not so scared anymore.
He nodded his little head, "Well, I'm not afraid as long as you're here!"
You are here.
These three words were like a feather gently brushing across Jiang Chunlin's heart, making him feel itchy and numb.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he turned his head to continue watching the scene of the street turning into a river.
The steps under the eaves of the supply and marketing cooperative were not high, and the water soon flooded up.
With the manager's approval, several salespeople came out with brooms and swept the rain water off the steps.
As soon as you sweep the broom, new rain water will rush up immediately.
The sales clerks had no choice but to keep scanning, including Luo Ailan.
Luo Ailan caught a cold today and was still having a fever before going to work. She took some medicine and came to work.
She was now dizzy and exhausted, and she was waving the broom with both hands with great effort, her face becoming increasingly uglier.
"Comrade, what's wrong with you?"
Shen Qinghe saw it and asked, pretending to be a stranger with concern.
Hearing this, Luo Ailan glanced at Shen Qinghe. Her eyes widened at first, then she thought of something and slowly shook her head, "I'm fine."
Jiang Chunlin glanced at Shen Qinghe, tilted his head slightly, and said in her ear, "Half of the dust on your face has fallen off."
Shen Qinghe was stunned and immediately understood why Luo Ailan looked at her with surprise just now. She quickly squatted down, pretended to wring the water out of her trouser legs, and washed her face with the rain.
It was raining so hard that she didn't have time to change back into her original clothes.
"Comrade, let me sweep." Jiang Chunlin also noticed that something was wrong with Luo Ailan, so he snatched the broom from her hand and started sweeping quickly.
This is when you can see the difference between men and women.
Jiang Chunlin had long and strong arms. When he swung his broom, a lot of water fell under the steps.
Seeing this, several men who were hiding from the rain snatched the brooms from the other female saleswomen and swept the rain water that had overflowed onto the steps down.
"I will keep it a secret!" Luo Ailan stood beside Shen Qinghe and said in a low voice.
Shen Qinghe smiled, and seeing that no one was paying attention to the two of them, she lowered her voice and said, "If you like the clothes I made in the future, just use it to offset your commission."
Luo Ailan grinned.
Shen Qinghe thought Luo Ailan would be very grateful for her suggestion. Which woman doesn't love beauty?
Unexpectedly, Luo Ailan's next words almost made her twist her ankle and fall into the rainy river under the stairs.
"I'm promoting your clothes, and you have to give them to me for free."
The corners of Shen Qinghe's mouth twitched, and she looked at Yuhe in disbelief, who was staring at the steps below.
Take a deep breath.
"If you buy it, I'll give you 20% off."
“Free!”
"Discount!"
The two men stood there, looking at the river in front of them, and began to bargain.
People who didn’t know the situation might have thought that the two were anxiously wondering when the rain would stop because their faces looked so sad.
In the end, Shen Qinghe proposed a compromise.
If Luo Ailan could sell twenty pieces of that dress, she would give her one for free and keep her commission.
After the rain stopped, Luo Ailan felt her body lighter and she happily returned to the supply and marketing cooperative to continue working.
Shen Qinghe, "..."
What a profiteer!
"What size shoes do you wear?" Jiang Chunlin asked Shen Qinghe while looking at the street which was still like a stream.
Shen Qinghe didn't understand why Jiang Chunlin asked her what size shoes she wore, so she answered honestly, "Size 36."
Jiang Chunlin nodded, turned and entered the supply and marketing cooperative.
After a while, he came out with a pair of long black rain boots and wore a pair on his feet.
"Put this on."
Shen Qinghe glanced at the rain on the street that had not yet completely receded, and silently put on her rain boots.
Jiang Chunlin naturally put her water-soaked sandals and his cloth shoes into the cloth bag.
When walking back, Shen Qinghe realized that Jiang Chunlin was wise.
The mechanized farming road in the village was turned into mud after being washed by the rain. If you step on it without controlling the force, the people around you will definitely be splashed with mud.
Jiang Chunlin was afraid that the bicycle would get stuck in the mud, so he simply carried it on his shoulders.
The two of them stepped into the mud pit, one step deep and one step shallow. Normally, it would take them no more than half an hour to walk back to Taoyuan Village, but today it took them more than an hour to get home.
The villagers gathered in groups of two or three.
When they saw them, they all looked over and saluted.
Shen Qinghe has long been accustomed to such scenes. As long as she is thick-skinned, she can get away with it.
When the two arrived home, He Xiuyun was sweeping the water in the house, and Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia were no exception.
At this time, most rural people built houses without laying foundations, but built the houses directly on the ground.
If the rain is a little heavier, water will flood into the house.
Some houses are not solid and may be washed down by rain.
Jiang Chunlin carried the bicycle directly into the house and took the broom from He Xiuyun.
"Mom, take a break, I'll sweep."
He Xiuyun stood up straight and pounded her lower back with her hands.
Looking at Shen Qinghe, he said, "Luckily you guys are back safely. I was scared to death just now. If the rain hadn't poured into the house, I would have gone to the county to look for you."
