Hearing Xia Linsheng say this, Yu Sui immediately ran out: "Then I'll go find the captain!"
Xia Linsheng grabbed her and said, "Don't look for trouble. It's only been raining for two days now. If you say these things, no one will pay any attention to you."
Yu Sui shook her head stubbornly: "How can I know if I don't try?"
Xia Linsheng was helpless: "Okay, then you stay home. I'll go find the brigade secretary and tell him that if we need to be on guard, we need to be on guard against the several production teams along the back mountain. I'll see if the brigade secretary can hold a meeting with each production team. That would be more formal."
Yu Sui smiled with satisfaction: "I knew you would help me."
Xia Linsheng couldn't help but climb up the hand holding her sleeve, crawling to the side of her face and poking it gently: "You... are so mean sometimes!"
Then he walked away with big strides.
Yu Sui shuddered.
Is she bad?
What's wrong with her?
Is it bad to let this man do something big?
It seems that this man doesn’t like this body very much!
Xia Linsheng arrived around noon, covered in mud and the brigade secretary's message:
"He and I walked around the hills near the houses of the members. The situation is very bad now. Secretary Zou doesn't dare to spend money casually. After all, the brigade doesn't have much money. If we report it, we will have to wait at least a few months before the money is approved. He doesn't dare to ask everyone to contribute to the hemp rope making.
I just said I'll tell each team to take turns patrolling, and then let each household deal with their own situation. If they think there's a danger, they can reinforce it with straw ropes themselves, or they can work together with several neighboring households. After all, it rains every year, and there haven't been any landslides in recent years. If the sun comes out tomorrow, it will be fine."
Yu Sui: "This...isn't it just a waste of time?"
Xia Linsheng: "How could that be? At least everyone will be alert. If there are people patrolling, anything can be discovered in time. If people living near the back of the mountain are reminded, they will also observe it regularly. It's better to take precautions than to be ignorant. What else can we do? This is not something that can be done overnight. If we really want to thoroughly deal with the hidden dangers, we need money and collective planning. We can't just do it on our own."
Yu Sui fell silent.
Xia Linsheng was telling the truth.
She understands this. That's how things were done during the collective era.
Moreover, the county annals only said that, and she didn't know exactly where the house collapsed or who died.
For that one sentence, she insisted that the entire team work on these things in the rain, which was really asking too much.
She is just an ordinary person, and doing this is the utmost she can do.
If those living near the rocks do not take precautions after being warned, then it will be their own problem.
Yu Sui lowered her head and thought about this. Seeing that Xia Linsheng's lower body was covered in mud and water, and the color of his Liberation shoes was almost unrecognizable, she felt a little sorry.
She really needs him, it's such a hard trip.
"I'll go boil some water so you can wash and change your shoes."
Xia Linsheng was still not interested: "No, it's okay, we are in the army training, this kind of situation is normal."
"Take them off. My mother asked me to take your shoe size... and make you a pair."
"You do?"
Xia Linsheng opened his mouth slightly, his eyes full of anticipation.
Yu Sui nodded as if possessed by some unknown force: "Yeah."
You can't just throw it away after using it.
Xia Linsheng's happiness cannot be stopped.
He immediately took off his shoes, picked them up, and walked away barefoot: "Then I'll go to the river ahead and wash them clean and then bring them back to you!"
"Oh, it's raining."
"It's okay, I brushed it clean in the river." He smiled with his head tilted back, showing his white teeth.
Yu Sui also smiled silently.
Xia Lin cooked lunch, which was delicious and fragrant.
Sun Yuying, who came to visit, praised him highly: "Linsheng is really capable. Look at the food! Ever since you came, it's like we have a feast every day. Eat more, Sui! Pick up some food for others! You have no manners at all!"
When Xia Linsheng was washing the dishes after dinner, Sun Yuying blocked Yu Sui in the room and whispered:
"Oh my goodness, this son-in-law is such a steal. There are so many shrimps! Xia Linsheng bought them all this morning! Oh my god, he really loves you. We've had a few good meals thanks to you. I'm warning you, be nice to him. You don't need to tell me to be more active and greet him at night. If he doesn't come tomorrow, I'll spank you until you're wet!"
Yu Sui: “…” Mom, you’re eating so much that oil is dripping from the corners of your mouth and you’re still scolding me, it’s so hateful!
But what to do, she also likes to have something to eat.
Best of all, as long as Xia Lin was around, she wouldn't have to do any work.
Sun Yuying and Yu Haichao would give them opportunities, and she would always find excuses to avoid them, so no one would urge her to do this or that.
Yu Sui decided not to drive Xia Linsheng away.
However, the paint won't be effective if it keeps raining. After they applied a coat of varnish to the cabinets in the afternoon, Yu Sui said:
"We can't apply lacquer anymore. It's too damp. It won't dry easily and it's bulging and falling off. Let's make some straw ropes. Our big house is quite far from the back mountain, but the pig shed behind it looks a bit precarious, so we should take some protective measures."
Was Xia Lin born here for paint?
Of course not.
Just to be able to see my young wife every day.
It doesn't matter what you do.
The young wife said she wanted to make straw ropes, so she made straw ropes.
But twisting straw ropes is not an easy job. After twisting for half an hour, my hands become rough.
Xia Linsheng: "This kind of work is not for girls. You go and rest, I'll rub it."
Yu Sui: “…”
This man is so kind to her that she almost becomes a bit sadistic!
But Yu Sui is really not that kind of person.
Since Xia Linsheng insisted on rubbing it by herself, she would start preparing to make shoes.
Xia Linsheng could only fit half of Yu Haichao's foot into his shoes, leaving most of his heel outside. Fortunately, Sun Yuying went to visit again after finishing her meal. If she had seen him, she would definitely have scolded Yu Sui again.
Yu Sui quietly left the room, closed the door, ran to the space and bought a paper pattern for making slippers, some shoe-making tools that were also available in that era, and hand-made thousand-layer soles.
To be honest, online shopping in this day and age is really great. As long as you want something, you can buy it. The sizes of these shoes are also very complete.
Yu Sui specially bought a larger size of shoe soles so that the slippers would be looser.
In this way, Yu Sui only needs to sew the shoe upper on, which is faster.
So, two hours later, when Yu Sui opened the door and handed Xia Linsheng a pair of slippers made by hand, Xia Linsheng was stunned: "This, this is what you just made?"
Yu Sui said shamelessly: "The soles were made a long time ago, so they might be a little big. The uppers were just made based on your shoe size."
"This...why is it half a shoe?"
"These are slippers, the same kind people in the city wear in the summer. I washed your feet and gave them to you. They're more convenient for when you're at home. Don't you like them?"
"No. With such thin soles, you... are wasting them to make slippers."
"It's okay. I saw that half of your foot was exposed, so I sewed this for you first. I'll make you a full pair next time. Put it on."
