Chapter 164 The college entrance examination resumes
Han Sen was puzzled when he heard this. "They are all working on digging the river. You won't be able to find anyone there if you go there now! And my eldest brother works in the commune. He can't go home until noon."
"Well, let's go first. When they come back at noon, we'll be the first to know the news." Su Yunyun was a little impatient. She couldn't concentrate on continuing her studies at home at this time. It would be better to go and wait early!
Han Sen looked at Su Yunyun's anxious expression and said, "Okay, let's go now. We can also help Mom make lunch."
"Okay!" Su Yunyun stood up eagerly, "Let's go!"
As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they noticed that the sky was covered with dark clouds, "It's going to rain!"
Han Sen turned back to the house and picked up an umbrella. "We have an umbrella, don't worry."
"If it rains, do you think the workers digging the river will have to finish their work early?" Su Yunyun speculated expectantly.
"You're right. We can't continue digging the river when it rains. Besides, it's already cold today. It will get even colder if we get wet in the rain. It will be a big pain if we get sick." Han Sen agreed with Su Yunyun and added his guess.
"My second brother and the others will be home soon. My eldest brother might come back earlier too. Let's go quickly!" Su Yunyun quickened her pace and urged Han Sen, who was locking the door, to hurry up.
"I'll be right there!" Han Sen smiled and shook his head as he looked at the anxious Su Yunyun. It was only 100 meters and they would be there in minutes. There was no need to rush over. Besides, Su Ping and the others hadn't reached home yet!
When they arrived at the Su family, Su Yunyun and Han Sen saw Su's father and mother preparing lunch at home. Because digging the river was too hard, the Su family unanimously decided to let the two elders help with cooking at home and not go to work to avoid overwork and damaging their bodies, which would not be worth it.
Just as Su Yunyun was about to go forward and greet Su's father and mother, she saw Wang Cuilan coming out of the house, "Mom, Aiguo's fever has subsided. As long as he doesn't have a fever again in the afternoon, he'll be fine!"
Mother Su felt relieved. "That's good. You must be exhausted this morning. You went to work and then rushed back. Have a good rest after lunch. I'll take care of Xiaoliang in the afternoon."
When Su Yunyun heard that Aiguo had a fever, she hurried forward and asked, "Mom, why does Aiguo have a fever?"
"After finishing his homework, this kid likes to play with his brothers and sisters. He runs around like crazy and takes off his clothes when he gets hot. He won't listen to anything we say. I don't know if it's because of the recent change in weather and the alternating hot and cold weather that irritated his body. He started coughing last night while doing his homework at home. We made him some ginger tea, but it didn't help. He had a fever this morning," Su's mother was helpless and distressed. "Your third sister-in-law had a class in the first period this morning. She went to school to attend the class without asking for leave, and then she came back to take care of Aiguo without stopping. She's so busy!"
"Third sister-in-law must be tired from running back and forth," Su Yunyun saw the worry in Wang Cuilan's eyes and understood that she was taking Aiguo very seriously. "She should have a good rest after lunch."
"Why rest?" Wang Cuilan didn't take it seriously. "I'm just taking care of the kids. I'm not tired. Besides, I'm not as tired as my second brother and his friends who were working to dig the river!"
"You are such an honest child!" Mother Su was somewhat helpless. "Rest well when you are young, so that you won't suffer when you are older. Listen to your mother and take a rest later."
"Okay, mother," Wang Cuilan responded with a smile, "I'll listen to you and take a nap after dinner."
At this time, bean-sized raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, shocking Su's mother, "Oh, why is it raining so heavily!"
Father Su looked up at the sky and said, "It's going to rain for a while. The second son and the others are still digging the river. If they get caught in the rain, they'll suffer!"
Su's father's worried tone made Su's mother very worried. "That's right. There's already a child at home who has a fever and is feeling very uncomfortable. If an adult also has a fever because of being caught in the rain, it will be no easier than the child. No, I have to send them an umbrella and some greaseproof cloth to provide some shelter and reduce the rain."
Su's mother went to the house to get an umbrella and a grease cloth, which Han Sen took. "Mom, I'll go. I can walk faster. You can make some ginger tea for them at home!"
Mother Su paused for a moment, then immediately said to Han Sen, "Go with an umbrella so you don't get wet. I'll go make some ginger tea."
Han Sen held up his umbrella and was about to go out with the other umbrellas and greaseproof sheet when he saw a group of people running in. Upon closer inspection, he found that they were the four brothers of the Su family and the sisters-in-law Li Yue and Wang Ye.
Several people were all wet. Su's mother didn't have time to ask them why they came back now. She just hurriedly asked them to go back to the house to change clothes, while she and Su's father went to make ginger tea.
After a while, Su Ping and the others changed their clothes and drank the hot ginger tea slowly.
Mother Su looked at them drinking ginger tea and asked, "It's not time to get off work yet, why did you come back?"
Su Tai was blowing gently on the ginger tea in the bowl to lower the temperature. When he heard Su's mother's words, he looked up and said, "Mom, we are digging a river. Someone said that the clouds in the sky are very thick and it looks like it will rain heavily. The people in the village committee are worried that we will get wet and catch a cold, so they asked us to pack up and go home quickly, and arrange for work after the rain stops."
"Well, the people in the village committee have really considered everything, good!" After praising the people in the village committee, Su's mother continued to ask Su Ping and Su Kang, "What about you two? One works in the commune and the other works in the supply and marketing cooperative. Why did you both come back?"
"Mom, I've finished my work at the commune today, and I was thinking about whether I could come back to help with the river digging at home, so I came back early." Su Ping told his mother the reason why he appeared at home at this time. Seeing that his mother nodded to him, he continued to drink ginger tea with his head down.
"I thought Aiguo was having a fever and Cuilan had classes to go to, so I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to finish the important work at hand, then asked for leave from my leader and came back to take care of Aiguo." Su Kang also explained his situation to Su's mother.
"Okay, as long as he's not absent from work without reason." Su's mother looked down on those who worked for three days and rested for two days. When she learned that her son came home for legitimate reasons and did not delay work, she was very satisfied.
At this time, Su Yunyun stood up and cleared her throat, "Ahem."
"Yunyun, you're not feeling well, are you?" Su's mother looked at Su Yunyun nervously.
"Mom, you think too much," Su Yunyun said helplessly, "I'm fine!"
"Then why are you coughing if nothing is wrong?!" Su's mother was relieved when she saw that Su Yunyun was completely normal and showed no signs of illness.
"I want to tell you all something." Su Yunyun raised her voice, successfully attracting the attention of the Su family.
Seeing their puzzled looks, Su Yunyun smiled, "The college entrance examination has been resumed!"
