Chapter 143 Sudden Rain
Chapter 143 Sudden Rain
Pei Zigui and Jiang Ruoli, the young couple, were warmly invited by the old lady to have dinner at her home.
I thought rich people like this would dislike the bad environment or simple food, but I didn't expect Jiang Ruoli, this seemingly delicate girl, to happily agree to go.
There is a small square wooden table in the yard of the old lady's house. There is also a small flower bed in the yard where various vegetables are planted. There are onions, cabbages, and leeks. Compared with the flashy flowers that can only be used for appreciation, these things are obviously more suitable for them.
The yard is not big, but it is full of life.
It seems that grandma and her family would eat in this cozy little courtyard when it doesn't rain.
Not long after walking in, Jiang Ruoli saw a little girl, about eight or nine years old, carrying out two plates of dishes from a small bungalow on the other side, with two pairs of chopsticks in her hands.
"Grandma, I fried mushrooms today. They're your favorite~"
Seeing that her grandmother brought three people with her, the little girl frowned in confusion, "Who are you?"
The old lady explained: "This is our guest. He is eating at home today. Be good. Go get a few more bowls and chopsticks and cook more rice."
After a while, the little girl came back with the bowl and chopsticks. She looked at Jiang Ruoli with sparkling eyes full of curiosity.
This sister is so beautiful and her face is so clean. How come there is no dust on it?
She watched the man next to her take out wet wipes from his bag, carefully wipe her sister's palms, and also wipe the small stool for her sister.
Afraid that they would dislike her, the little girl sat next to Jiang Ruoli and said timidly, "Sister, I washed this bowl."
Jiang Ruoli pinched the little girl's chubby face and smiled brightly: "You are so good, did you cook all these dishes?"
The little girl nodded obediently and tilted her head towards Jiang Ruoli: "Do you want to try it?"
There was only a bowl of stir-fried mushrooms and a bowl of what looked like tomato and egg soup on the table. Although the two dishes were simple, they were cooked very cleanly and were very appetizing.
However, it was obvious that this amount of food was not enough for so many people. But no one showed any disdain.
"Then I must try it~" Jiang Ruoli tasted the fried mushrooms, and as he chewed, the unique aroma of the mushrooms filled his tongue.
Her eyes curved and she gave a thumbs up: "It's really delicious! Sister, you are amazing!"
After all, when the eldest daughter was her age, she would just cry for a doll.
Jiang Ruoli's voice was cute and her expression was serious. It was obvious that the compliment came from the heart. The little girl shook her head and was very happy after receiving the beautiful sister's expression.
"Xiao Qiao, go to Grandma Qin's house next door and get some food."
The grandparents and grandchildren were used to being frugal on weekdays, but these were guests, guests who gave them a new life, so they should be treated well.
"No, I'll come over myself."
As laughter sounded, someone pushed open the fence door.
The old ladies who had just walked into the yard each held a few dishes in their hands.
"This is the chicken I just killed yesterday. It's delicious. It's a genuine pheasant."
"When they asked me for this bacon during the Chinese New Year, I was reluctant to give it to them. Eat more, little girl. You are so thin."
They were talking to each other, and even though he couldn't understand what they were saying, Jiang Ruoli could feel the enthusiasm of the old ladies.
Tour guide Xiao Ge relayed the words of the mothers-in-law to Jiang Ruoli and Pei Zigui one by one. The two of them did not hesitate and accepted the kindness of the mothers-in-law.
Jiang Ruoli is a generous person.
After all, for these elderly people, affection cannot be bought with money, so it is better to accept it openly than to refuse repeatedly.
After delivering the food and chatting for a few minutes, the mothers-in-law returned to their own homes without disturbing her any further. They just repeatedly promised that they would complete the embroidery ordered by Jiang Ruoli on time.
Jiang Ruoli was afraid that they were too tired, so he told them, "Don't worry, embroider slowly."
It was the first time that Jiang Ruoli had eaten such authentic mountain farm food. He finished the whole bowl of rice and even burped when he put down his chopsticks.
Pei Zigui's smile grew brighter, and he gently wiped the rice grains from her mouth, "Go play."
Jiang Ruoli jumped off the bench and walked towards the little girl. There was almost no generation gap between the two of them, and they soon started playing together.
The clouds in the sky were turning gray, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Not long after, with a loud bang, heavy rain came.
"Oh, it's raining, Xiaoqiao! Hurry up and put the things in the yard inside."
"coming!"
Xiaoqiao threw away the stone in her hand, and her small body carried the odds and ends that were heavier than her body. But her movements were so skillful that it didn't seem like it was her first time.
Jiang Ruoli subconsciously helped her hold up a small roll of cloth that was about to fall, "Give this to me."
Xiao Qiao nodded, ran into the house with the things in her hands, and after a while, ran out again, one after another.
Pei Zigui took the things from Jiang Ruoli's arm and put them in his own hands. "You go in first, I'll take care of these."
It's raining so hard and in this kind of environment. It would be troublesome if you get wet and catch a cold.
Seeing Xiao Ge, Grandma, and Xiao Qiao all running in and out of the yard, Jiang Ruoli shook his head firmly, "Too slow, one more person means one more pair of hands."
Having said that, she turned around, picked up the chair and ran into the house.
The yard had not been renovated, and after being washed by rain, the ground was already muddy. If you stepped on it casually, your shoes would be covered in mud.
Looking at her slender back and her wet hair, the man's eyes deepened, admiration and love overflowing from his dark eyes.
His wife, a famous spoiled young lady in Jiangcheng, was being so squeamish as to ask him to carry her shoes just because she was wearing new shoes. She would also act like a spoiled brat from time to time and do whatever she wanted.
But she would also happily sit in a small courtyard in the remote wilderness and happily enjoy a simple lunch. She would also help strangers to the best of her ability when it rained, regardless of the dirty muddy road.
His baby really deserves to be loved.
With their joint efforts, they finally moved the things in the yard into the house.
There was no comfortable sofa here, so Jiang Ruoli sat on a bamboo chair. Pei Zigui stood beside her, patiently wiping the rain off her hair and skin with a clean handkerchief over and over again.
"Ah!"
Jiang Ruoli sneezed suddenly, and the man immediately frowned, his face looking so cold that he almost froze to death.
He unscrewed the red date tea in his bag, which was still steaming: "Drink it all."
Xiaoqiao also sneezed, and her grandmother hurriedly said, "Xiaoqiao, we still have ginger at home. Go and make some ginger tea for everyone."
When he heard about ginger tea, Jiang Ruoli, who was originally slow, quickly drank the red date tea in the thermos cup: "You guys drink it, my last name is Jiang, and I can't eat ginger."
Xiao Qiao looked over in confusion: "Really, sister? Then my last name is Cai, so does that mean I can't eat vegetables?"
Jiang Ruoli touched his chin seriously, "It's okay, this vegetable is not that vegetable, you can eat it, you should eat more vegetables~ Don't you agree, husband?"
The fox's lively eyes blinked.
Well, the little troublemaker has started again.
"Well, if you drink all the red date tea, you don't need to drink the ginger soup."
"Oh……"
Compared to these two people, Xiao Ge on the side had a worried look on his face. The weather forecast clearly said it was cloudy, and according to experience it would not rain, so why did the rain come so suddenly?
Now there is no signal and I don’t know if the road down the mountain is still accessible.
