Mu Qingli strolled leisurely in the threshing ground or took shelter under a big tree every day, which made the people in the educated youth compound very envious. Although they no longer lived together, Mu Qingli's leisurely life made them all jealous.
"Hongni'er! The weather doesn't look good, it looks like it's going to rain!" Mu Qingli looked at the sky, then at the grains in the field, corn, beans, and peanuts, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"Why is it raining in such nice weather?" Li Hongni, the daughter of the village chief, was considered the leader of their group. At this moment, she was sitting under a big tree to enjoy the cool air. She glanced at Mu Qingli with disdain and said nonchalantly.
"Hongni, look at the weather. The clouds are moving to the west and are so low. The tops of the western mountains are covered with clouds, like they are wearing a big hat! The old people in our place always say that when the clouds move to the west, they are wearing straw raincoats and the mountains are wearing hats, it means rain is coming!" Mu Qingli said to Li Hongni while looking at the weather in the west.
"What a mess! The food has only just been spread out, and you're already collecting it. Do you think we're too idle?"
"that is!"
"The educated youth from the city can't do their job! And they love to show off!"
"Look at her like that! What can she do?"
Several girls who were enjoying the cool under the big tree were pointing and talking disdainfully.
Seeing that she couldn't convince them, Mu Qingli simply ignored them and ran quickly to the end of the field.
"Accountant Wu!" Mu Qingli found Accountant Wu, who was standing at the edge of the field and talking with the village chief Li Shuanzhu, pointing to the field from time to time.
"Mu Zhiqing! Why are you here?" Accountant Wu had a headache. He was afraid of this spoiled female educated youth.
"That's right..." Mu Qingli told her discovery and pointed to the top of the mountain in the west. The swallows flying south began to fly close to the ground, which was a sign of the coming rain.
Accountant Wu and Village Chief Li both looked at the sky carefully. The sun was shining brightly overhead, but there were indeed low clouds in the west. They acted decisively and immediately sent some people to the threshing ground to collect the grain. The people in the fields also stopped collecting and quickly moved the harvested grain back home.
Mu Qingli also hurried back to collect the food. Li Hongni was a little annoyed. This educated youth actually bypassed her and ran directly to find Accountant Wu and her father. It was clear that he did not take her seriously. She couldn't help feeling unhappy.
Everyone was moving grain, and some were collecting grain. They had almost finished harvesting, and it was still a sunny day, so everyone couldn't help but feel doubtful.
With Li Hongni's vigorous publicity, almost everyone knew that it was Mu Qingli who suggested that it would rain soon. At this time, everyone had some doubts about Mu Qingli and spoke more. Of course, they were all bad words. Most of them did not believe it, and some even said that Mu Qingli was trying to show off.
"Village Chief! Why don't you just not put it away? You might have to unfold it again later. What a waste of time!"
"That's right! It would be a shame not to dry the crops in such nice weather!"
"We are still waiting to receive our share of grain after paying our taxes!"
Even Accountant Wu and the village chief could hardly bear the pressure. Everyone slowed down in collecting grain, and some even stopped collecting.
Just as everyone was arguing, the sun hid away unknowingly and gradually disappeared. The originally clear and refreshing blue sky in autumn became gloomy.
"Look! It's cloudy!" Someone shouted, and everyone looked up at the sky at the same time. Only Mu Qingli raised his eyes to look at the mountains in the west.
At this time, the clouds in the west were even lower, and the mountains were basically covered in dark clouds.
"Hurry! Harvest the grain! Work faster in the fields!" Seeing this, the questioning crowd fell silent, and Accountant Wu shouted.
"I'll go and notify the fields!" Village chief Li ran faster at this time and strode towards the fields.
Finally, there was only a small tail of food left, and the autumn rain began to fall, quickly wetting the ground. The people who were still working couldn't help but shiver. It was true that every autumn rain brought a chill. On sunny days, the faces hurt from the bright sun, but as soon as it rained, the cold came.
Despite the cold, everyone worked harder to harvest the grain quickly. Soon, many more people came to work in the fields, and finally the slightly wet grain was collected.
Everyone was getting wet in the rain, listening to the rustling sound of rain falling on the fields, and sighing at the unharvested crops in the fields. No matter whether it was autumn harvest or summer harvest, they were most afraid of rain. They didn't know whether the crops would get moldy or sprout?
After finishing her work, Mu Qingli returned home in the rain, closed the door, went into the space to take a hot shower, cleaned herself up, changed into dry clothes before opening the door and coming out. The rain was getting heavier. Mu Qingli looked at the raindrops getting bigger and bigger, and thinking that Mu Qingfeng had not returned yet, she took the black oilcloth umbrella and went out.
This was also thanks to the fact that she bought a lot of shops selling period items before and after the end of the world. Otherwise, she really wouldn't be able to find an umbrella to use, and she wouldn't dare to take out things that were not in line with this era.
Mu Qingli walked in the rain with an oilcloth umbrella, heading towards the cornfield where Mu Qingfeng was working. On the way, she met several educated youths who were heading to the educated youth home.
Li Jiaojiao was almost soaked through, and she couldn't help feeling sad when she thought that she didn't even have a change of clothes. But when she saw Mu Qingli dressed neatly and walking leisurely in the rain with an umbrella, she couldn't help but feel jealous.
Mu Qingli walked around for a long time before she saw Mu Qingfeng who had just put the harvested corn into the warehouse.
"Brother!" Mu Qingli called out in a clear and sweet voice, causing everyone who was working to turn around and look over.
"Lili! Why are you here! What if you catch a cold?" Mu Qingfeng said as he ran to Mu Qingli.
Mu Qingli moved the umbrella over to cover his head.
Mu Qingfeng laughed, took the umbrella, and left with Mu Qingli in the envious eyes of everyone. As they walked on the road, he quietly moved the umbrella towards Mu Qingli.
