I don’t know if it’s because of some inextricable connection with getting caught in the rain, but I get soaked through time and time again.
This time when I went to Uncle Peng's house for dinner, it rained again.
Since she was with Uncle Peng and didn't have a backpack, she couldn't suddenly take out an umbrella from her clothes, as that would be too scary.
I had no choice but to get wet awkwardly.
Uncle Peng walked slowly, so she had to support him.
"Don't worry about me. It's raining heavily. Let's run quickly. I'm in good health and won't get hurt by the rain." The old man's left arm was supported by Mu Ruanruan, and he waved his right hand, asking Mu Ruanruan to leave him and run quickly.
Although the rain this time was much smaller than last time, it still soaked the two of them quickly. This place happened to be in the middle of nowhere, with no village or shop nearby, and there was no house to shelter from the rain.
Although there are trees, they are not a place to shelter from the rain, so we can only move forward.
The old man's legs were not as good as before and he couldn't run fast. By the time they arrived at Peng's house, their clothes were soaked.
"His mother, hurry up and get a coat for Mu to change into. Did Yuemei forget to take a coat away from home? Just take that one." The old man shouted at the old woman.
"Yes, there is a coat."
The old lady quickly pulled Mu Ruanruan into the inner room, and the old man went to another room to change clothes.
Now the old lady seems to be in good spirits. She is no longer as taciturn as before. She has gradually become cheerful, talks more, and looks younger.
Yuemei is the daughter of the two old people. She is one year older than Peng Fei and got married at the age of sixteen.
She married too far away and transportation was inconvenient. In all these years, she only came back once. She asked Mu Ruanruan to help write a letter to tell her about Peng Fei.
Later she wrote back saying that she wanted to come over and take the parents to live with her to show her filial respect, but it was a distance of more than a thousand kilometers, so it was impossible for her to come back just like that.
It was winter when Yuemei came last time, and it was warm when she left, so she left a coat at her mother's house for her aunt to wear.
The old lady was reluctant to wear it, so she kept it locked in the bottom shelf of the cabinet. It is still brand new now.
A brand new bright red jacket, embroidered with flowers blooming and prosperity. Many well-off families would buy this kind of quilt cover, jacket, and washbasin with flowers blooming and prosperity.
The pattern is exaggerated, but you get used to it after seeing it for a long time. However, Mu Ruanruan has never used this kind of pattern before, so if she suddenly wears it, the feeling will be quite subtle.
"It looks good, but you're too thin. You need to eat more. You don't eat enough. If we were flying, we could eat three bowls in one meal."
"Our Fei loves his sister so much. He goes outside every day to pick wild fruits and vegetables, saying that he will sell them to make her a coat."
"At that time, our family was very poor, and your uncle Peng was on the march. In those days, there were no men at home, and life was hard. Fei said that he was a man, a small man, but he could also hold up half the sky."
The old lady can now talk about her son easily, and every sentence is about him, which makes Mu Ruanruan feel very sad.
After changing clothes, the two chatted and forgot the time. The old man called the old woman outside, asking if the meal was ready and to start eating quickly.
The old lady then smiled, took Mu Ruanruan's hand, stopped talking, and the two of them walked out of the room.
"The guests are here, let's start the meal quickly." Uncle Peng urged again.
guest?
"Auntie, since there is a guest, then I..." Not knowing who it was, Mu Ruanruan didn't really want to meet him at this moment.
"It's okay, we're one family." The old lady interrupted her and, without giving her a chance to refuse, dragged her to the dining room.
The dining room was right next door, and the food had already been served. Uncle Peng and the guest had obviously already taken their seats, and were pouring wine.
"Come on, it's the first time for us two to have New Year's Eve dinner together, come drink with me."
The guest didn't say anything. Mu Ruanruan kept wondering who it could be. Could they have come from far away? I heard that Yuemei also had children. Could they be here too?
"Why are you standing at the door? Come in quickly." Seeing that Mu Ruanruan was reluctant to enter the house, the old lady came over to pull her.
She didn't want to be awkward anymore, so she stepped into the house.
The moment she saw the guest, Mu Ruanruan was stunned, and the guest was also stunned, holding the wine glass in his hand for a long moment.
He looked at Mu Ruanruan, scanned her up and down three or four times, and then drank the wine as if nothing had happened.
"Come, Mu, sit here."
There were already three people sitting at the square table, and Mu Ruanruan sat down in the empty seat.
Sitting opposite was Uncle Peng, Jiang He sat opposite him, and Mu Ruanruan sat opposite Aunt Peng.
From the moment he entered the room to the moment he sat down, Jiang He's eyes stayed on her. Mu Ruanruan didn't look up at him, not knowing whether he was looking at her clothes or her.
I haven't seen Jiang He for so long, and I don't know what he is busy with. He is not doing farm work, and his skin looks a lot whiter.
"Yuemei's coat is a perfect fit for Mu. Jiang He, don't you think so?"
Jiang He hummed twice, then nodded and said, "Yes, it fits me well."
Mu Ruanruan stared at the bowl of food, but still caught a glimpse of Jiang He's slightly red face and the malicious smile at the corner of his mouth.
Perhaps sensing Mu Ruanruan's embarrassment, Jiang He added softly, "It's quite beautiful."
This made her blush.
In the past, Uncle Peng would also invite her to come over for dinner, and it was said that he would often invite Jiang He as well, but he had never invited both of them together at the same time. She didn't expect to meet them this time.
Today is New Year's Eve. In the morning, Jiang He had a New Year's Eve dinner with Jiang Lan and his son. Uncle Peng specially arranged it at noon.
Mu Ruanruan was alone, and Liao Xiaohong went to Damao's house. She could be there at any time, so they met.
That’s not all, he also got caught in the rain and put on such a big coat with luxurious flowers.
