Siheyuan: The Final Winner

  Chapter 257 When it rained heavily, Jingru lamented

   Country road.

  Qin Jingru was carrying a bamboo basket and bouncing ahead.

  She looked down at the puppy in the bamboo basket from time to time, feeling happy.

   "This puppy is so fluffy, so cute." Qin Jingru laughed.

   "It has black hair and is called Xiao Hei. How do you feel about Ping An?"

  Jiang Ping'an smiled and said, "It's black now, but it won't be so when it grows up."

   "But it doesn't matter what the name is, Xiao Hei will be Xiao Hei!"

  Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled happily, "When I get home, I will build a doghouse for Xiao Hei."

   "The weather is hot now, so it's easy to settle down, let's go...Xiao Hei, I'll build a nest for you!"

   As she spoke, she grinned, placed the bamboo basket, and trotted home.

   "Slow down, don't fall!" Jiang Pingan reminded loudly.

  Qin Jingru responded from a distance: "I'm not so delicate, you go faster!"

   "It's so hot, go home early and rest early!"

  The two returned home after playing around, and Qin Jingru immediately got busy.

  She moved a flat stone slab, put it under the eaves of the kitchen door, and spread a layer of hay on top.

   Then he ran to her mother's house in a hurry, and when she came back, she was holding two stone bowls in her hand.

   "One for water and one for rice, just right." Qin Jingru said with a smile.

  She put the two stone bowls on one side of the stone slab, lifted the puppy out of the bamboo basket, and put it on the grass nest on the slate.

  Jiang Pingan was sitting on the side smoking a cigarette, watching her busy and smiling.

   "Xiao Hei, this will be your home from now on, you know?"

  Qin Jingru poked the puppy's head with his finger, and said with a smile.

  Jiang Ping'an laughed loudly and said, "If you tell it like that, can it understand?"

   "First fill the stone bowl with water, and pour some porridge for it to eat."

   "When it gets used to it, it will know that this place is its kennel."

  Qin Jingru giggled, and hurried into the room to get the porridge left over from the morning, and poured some into a stone bowl.

   I dare not pour too much, the puppy is too small to eat much, and the weather is hot, so it is easy to attract mosquitoes.

   This puppy was specially picked by Jiang Ping'an. He is in good spirits and very clever.

  It was carried to the stone bowl by Qin Jingru, smelled the porridge a few times, and then began to take small bites, wagging its tail.

   "It's hungry, look how delicious it is!" Qin Jingru said happily, his eyes narrowed into crescents.

   Then she got up again, fetched a ladle of water, and filled another stone bowl.

  After finishing her work, Qin Jingru came and sat beside Jiang Ping'an, sighing:

   "The days with you are happy and sweet, and the time passes quickly!"

  She looked at Jiang Ping'an, rubbed into his arms, scratched with her little hands, and giggled.

  Jiang Ping'an whispered in her ear: "Aren't you shy now?"

   "What's there to be shy about? People have given you this for so long, I'm used to it." Qin Jingru said with winking eyes.

  Jiang Pingan pointed with his finger and whispered something to her.

  Qin Jingru pursed her lips and said, "I'm going to get some water, you can wash it, or you'll be disgusting!"

   After a while, when Jiang Pingan came back and sat down after cleaning up, Qin Jingru lowered her head and got busy.

  The weather is sometimes cloudy and sometimes sunny.

  Time passed, I don't know how long it had passed, Jiang Ping'an frowned, and let out a long breath.

  Qin Jingru puffed her cheeks, pursed her small cherry mouth, and raised her head to look at him blushing.

   Then, she wiped the corner of her mouth with her hand, swallowed her throat, and frowned slightly.

   "I'm going to rinse my mouth..." Qin Jingru trotted into the kitchen.

  Jiang Pingan smiled, lit a cigarette and smoked slowly.

   Before he finished smoking a cigarette, Qin Jingru trotted out after rinsing his mouth, threw himself into his arms, and said softly:

   "I helped you, you have to help me, don't cheat!"

  Jiang Pingan laughed, threw away the cigarette butt, hugged her by the waist, and said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

  …

  Boom!

   Thunder and thunder roared, the sky was gloomy, and the wind picked up!

  In the room, Jiang Ping'an and Qin Jingru were sweating profusely, enjoying it tirelessly!

   After a while, big raindrops fell from the sky.

   At first it was like a broken bead, and then it grew bigger and bigger, like sifting beans, like pouring, like pouring.

  The wind howled, thunder and lightning intertwined.

  The rain hit the ground, splashing white sprays.

  The earth is shrouded in a white rain curtain, and all the scenery becomes hazy in the rain.

  In the air, there is a strong earthy smell, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees mixed with herbs.

  The tiles on the roof were crackling by the raindrops.

  Under the eaves, there seemed to be a series of water curtains hanging, and the water splashed everywhere. After a moment, there was water on the ground.

  Lightning is like a sharp sword shining with cold light, flying in the sky.

   One after another, they shone brightly, illuminating the earth like daylight.

  In the room, the two figures froze at the same time, from movement to stillness, as if someone had pressed the pause button.

   After a while, Jiang Pingan let out a long breath, and turned over from Qin Jingru.

   "Yesterday we were still talking about rain, but today it really rained."

  Qin Jingru **** her messy hair, the lingering charm on her face was still there.

   got up and took the cigarette, lit the match again, and lit it for him.

  Jiang Ping'an took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile, "This rain is timely, and this year's crops will be more or less harvested."

  Qin Jingru nodded, took the towel and cleaned Jiang Ping'an, and said with a smile:

   "Farmers look at the sky to eat, even if God dozes off, he still wants to give us a chance of survival, right?"

   As she spoke, she looked at the violent wind and rain outside, frowned and said:

   "It's okay if it doesn't rain, but the air is still stuffy with this rain."

   "Do you want to take a bath? I'll go to the hot water, let's take a good wash!"

  Jiang Ping'an nodded and said: "Okay, we both sweated a lot just now, we really need to wash up."

  Qin Jingru winked and smiled, amorously, stood up and nodded:

   "Then you rest for a while, and I will call you when the water is hot."

   As she spoke, she put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

  Jiang Pingan finished his cigarette and didn't lie on the bed anymore. He got up and stretched, got dressed and went out.

   Looking up, it was raining cats and dogs, and the world was hazy.

  In that field, there are many villagers wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats, looking after ditches and crops.

   One porridge and one meal are really hard-won.

  Farmers get up early and work late at night, exposed to the wind and sun, facing the loess and back to the sky.

   Only by diligently farming all year round can we obtain a small amount of food.

   That's it, it depends on whether God rewards the meal.

  Jiang Pingan looked at the busy figures in the field through the rain curtain, dazed.

   After boiling water in the kitchen, Qin Jingru came out and walked to Jiang Pingan's side, holding his arm, and looking at the fields.

   "If I hadn't followed you, I would be busy in the field right now." Qin Jingru said softly.

  Girls in the countryside are not so squeamish, and they do all kinds of farm and housework.

  Howing, planting crops, pulling weeds, feeding pigs, cooking, washing clothes, everything is not left behind.

   "It's okay to work hard, and I'm not afraid of hard work, no matter how hard and tired I am, I can't see the future..."
