Chapter 227: Driving in the Rain, the More I Think About It, the More I Regret
"It's raining so hard, I won't be able to go out tomorrow, right?"
A wave of heavy rain was blown by the wind, hitting the windows heavily, making a crackling sound.
Chen Hui listened and felt that it was not much different from the sound of gold coins falling in the game.
"My uncle just said that even if it doesn't rain, if there is still such a strong wind tomorrow, we probably won't be able to go out to sea."
"It's windy and rainy, could it be a typhoon?" An Wenjing said.
"No, Dasa Village is different from our village. There will be a notification when a typhoon hits, even if it's a small one."
"Go to sleep. Maybe it will be sunny and windy tomorrow morning when you wake up." Chen Hui said as he stretched out his hand to pinch her.
"Bad guy!"
An Wenjing cursed with a smile, then held Chen Hui's hand through his clothes.
The two of them lay sideways facing each other and soon fell asleep together.
The next morning, Chen Hui was awakened by the noise of Wu Shuisheng returning in a hurry.
The wind outside had not died down much, and the rain was heavier than the night before.
Wu Shuisheng went to inform Wu Dahua that he could not go out to sea as agreed.
"In fact, if you don't go, he must know that he can't go out to sea."
"It's so early, you haven't gotten up yet?" Chen Huihong said as she added water to the pot and lit the fire.
"He got up a long time ago. When I went there, he had already chopped a pile of firewood."
"Only our young master sleeps until this time every day." Wu Shuisheng complained.
Chen Hui touched the watch beside the bed and looked at it.
It’s only seven o’clock.
"Maybe he's afraid of getting beaten. Go and shout, give him a way out," said Chen Huihong.
An Wenjing is still sleeping.
Chen Hui lifted the quilt, stood up, opened the door a crack, stuck his head out and waited.
Seeing Wu Shuisheng coming up, he smiled and whispered, "Uncle, don't call me, I'm awake!"
"Ok?"
Wu Shuisheng was stunned when he saw Chen Hui sticking his head out, and scolded him with a smile: "Come down to eat when you wake up. Why are you pretending to be cute when you are so old?"
"I'm not pretending to be cute!" Chen Hui muttered to himself helplessly and went back to his room to put on his clothes.
He closed the door gently and went downstairs.
After a night of calming down, Chen Huihong became much calmer and her strategy for dealing with Chen Hui also changed.
From severe attack to gentle persuasion.
While Chen Hui was eating breakfast, she sat down next to him.
While sorting out the dried vegetables for pickling, he pretended to chat casually and mentioned Chen Hui's parents and An Wenjing's father.
Seeing Chen Hui's constant "hmm" sounds, it was obvious that he was not serious about it, and I couldn't help but want to hit him.
He glared at Chen Hui and changed the subject, asking, "What are you going to do with the fish and shrimps you caught yesterday?"
"We'll send it to the county town to sell it later!"
"Lobsters are fine, but fish won't last long even with oxygen. It's better to exchange them for money as soon as possible."
Chen Hui said while eating pickles.
"It's raining so hard, how are you going to go?" Chen Huihong looked outside the door worriedly.
Chen Hui followed Chen Huihong's line of sight and looked outside.
The mountain road was muddy, and it was windy and rainy, so the bicycle definitely couldn't be ridden.
"Let's take the bus. I'll take the 7:30 bus and still be back in time for the 9:30 bus."
"If we take the nine o'clock train, the bus won't be back until the afternoon."
Chen Hui retracted his gaze, lowered his head and finished the porridge in the bowl.
He wiped his mouth, found two pieces of hemp rope, tied up the lobster and carried it.
Lobsters can withstand a lot of hard work, and they are full of vitality even when carried to the county town.
Chen Hui used a bucket to hold the delicate three knives, and filled it with enough sea water to keep them alive.
"How can you hold an umbrella when you are carrying such a big bucket?"
"Go wake up Wen Jing and ask her to go with you," Chen Huihong said distressedly. "No need, it's fine to carry the bucket and lobster in one hand and hold an umbrella in the other."
"The umbrella is not big to begin with, and it won't be enough to cover one more person." Chen Hui said, holding up the umbrella and preparing to go out.
"There's a big umbrella at home. I'll find it for you!"
"I know you feel sorry for your wife. I'll go with you later!" Chen Huihong went into the house and found a long-handled umbrella.
An Wenjing trotted down from upstairs, rubbing her eyes and said, "I'm going too, I'm going too, I'm getting up."
"You go have breakfast, I'll go by myself!"
"For one more person, the fare will cost a few cents more," Chen Hui refused.
"If I don't go, you can't even get in the car!"
"Brother Chen Hui, where do you have money on you?" An Wenjing said with a smile.
Well.
Chen Hui touched his pocket and laughed.
Because he often needs to go out to the sea, Chen Hui usually doesn't carry any money with him. The money he needs when going out is all with An Wenjing.
An Wenjing smiled, came forward and whispered, "Take me with you, I want to go to the county town to eat buns."
"All right!"
Chen Hui knew it was just an excuse, but he couldn't bear to reject An Wenjing's thoughtfulness.
"Then you two should drive slowly on the way, and come back for lunch after delivering the things!" Chen Huihong instructed.
"I know, aunt!"
An Wenjing opened the umbrella with a smile. The rain hit the umbrella heavily, as if it was going to break through it.
An Wenjing held an umbrella, held Chen Hui's arm and got close to him, the two of them leaned against each other and walked slowly forward.
When strong winds blow, stop and move the umbrella forward to block the wind and rain.
It was a rainy day and they drove slowly. The two got into the car on time and the driver couldn't wait to close the door.
The car started up and went thump, thump.
"Wait! Hey! Wait a minute!"
"Stop, car! Car!"
"Beep beep beep beep (friendly greeting), driver! Wait a moment!"
The vehicle had already started moving and shouts were heard from behind.
An Wenjing looked outside curiously and saw a man running wildly in the wind and rain carrying something, and waving at them with one hand.
"Master! Stop the car! There are people here!" An Wenjing shouted loudly.
"Yeah, there are still people who haven't gotten on the bus yet, why don't you stop?"
"It's so hard to run here in such heavy rain!"
"Master may not have heard it, it's so noisy."
The people in the car saw that the one who spoke was a pretty girl, and they all joined in.
"call."
The bus driver originally wanted to pretend he didn't hear anything, so he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
Now all I could do was stop the car, open the door and wait.
The person chasing saw that the car had stopped, so he slowed down, wiped the rain off his face, and trotted over, panting.
An Wenjing held up an umbrella and got out of the car to continue the segment.
The uncle who was chasing the car was deeply moved. He bowed and said as he walked away: "Thank you, little girl!"
"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to be so polite!"
"It's raining so hard, why don't you take an umbrella?"
An Wenjing felt a little embarrassed by the other party's grateful attitude, so she changed the subject and asked.
"I'm here to help someone with a house, but I was late working yesterday and missed the bus back home."
"If I had known it would rain so hard today, I would have walked back!"
The uncle who chased the car also regretted it a lot.
