"It's okay, it's not heavy." After saying that, he helped Chen Jinming put the firewood on the ground.

"Brother Jin Ming, why don't you put the firewood inside the house? It's getting wet here."

Chen Jinming looked at the soaked firewood and replied nonchalantly: "It's okay, it's already wet anyway."

"It's better that you don't get wet here. Go back home and change clothes quickly. Don't catch a cold."

After hearing this, Xu Xinyue looked at Chen Jinming who was also wet and said, "Come with me, you are also wet."

Chen Jinming declined politely: "No, I'll just wait here." After saying that, he ran towards the kitchen door.

Perhaps because he was afraid that the water stains on his body would get the kitchen wet, Chen Jinming did not dare to go in and only stood at the door of the kitchen.

Xu Xinyue looked at his cautious look and suddenly turned around and ran towards the house.

After a while, he ran out again, holding two towels in his hand.

"Brother Jin Ming, here you wipe it." He said as he handed over the towel.

At this time, Xu Xinyue was still wet, her bangs stuck to her forehead, and her red floral clothes were so wet that she couldn't stop getting wet, but she acted as if she didn't feel anything and still looked at herself with a smile.

Chen Jinming didn't bother to be polite to her at this time. He took the towel and urged her: "Go and change your clothes quickly, or you will catch a cold."

After handing the towel to him, Xu Xinyue's heart instantly relaxed.

He nodded happily, and then ran into the room. Chen Jinming looked at Xu Xinyue's back and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Then he looked down at the towel in his hand and silently put the pink one next to him, only using the gray one.

Just as Chen Jinming was wiping his hair, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside, followed by dense voices.

After hearing this, Chen Jinming immediately stopped wiping his hair and held the towel in his hand, looking a little at a loss.

Lin Xiao walked in first. When he saw Chen Jinming, he was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Why are you here?"

"I locked the door at home and came to your house to take shelter from the rain." Chen Jinming replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

Lin Xiao frowned, "Who opened the door for you?"

"Xinyue."

After hearing this, Lin Xiao immediately shouted out at the top of his lungs: "Mom, stop looking, my sister is home."

After hearing this, Xu Maisui immediately walked in from outside, and Xu Xinyue, who had changed her clothes, ran out quickly when she heard this. Because it was raining, she did not go to the yard and only stood at the door.

"Auntie, are you looking for me?"

Xu Maisui stood in the yard holding an umbrella and looked at Xu Xinyue who had changed her clothes and replied: "I went to pick you up just now, but you ran too fast and didn't catch you."

"Jin Ming, why are you here?"

Xu Xinyue was afraid that Xu Maisui would blame Chen Jinming and said quickly: "I met him when I came back. Brother Jin Ming's house was not open, so I asked him to come to our house first."

Xu Maisui didn't think much after hearing this, "Why are you standing in the kitchen? Go inside quickly."

After hearing this, Chen Jinming glanced at his clothes and said quickly: "No, I'll just wait here."

"They should be back soon."

Xu Maisui: "It's okay for you to be so wet."

"Wait a minute while I go to the house to find you two pieces of clothes." He said and walked into the house.

After hearing this, Lin Xiao and Lin Fan immediately chased after them. After entering the house, the two brothers asked: "Mom, do we have clothes at home that he can wear?"

Xu Maisui: "Why not?"

Lin Fan: "No."

Lin Xiao: "You don't want to take it from me, do you? I tell you it's impossible."

Xu Maisui glanced at him angrily and replied: "Don't worry, even with your heads, I can't even wear it."

"I'll take your uncle's."

Lin Xiao: "My uncle is so tall, he can wear it."

"It's okay, you can wear it even if you roll it up." He said and went to the house.

Lin Jianjun was malnourished when he first came here. He was not only thin but also not too tall. He came to this place and kept up with the food, and he improved within a year.

The clothes he had just made were collected by Xu Maisui, thinking that they would be changed for them to wear in the future, but he did not expect that they would be useful before they were changed.

Xu Maisui found two better-looking ones, took them and walked out.

He said to Chen Jinming: "These clothes have been washed and put away. You can just change them."

At this time, Chen Jinming was wearing patched trousers and a dark top. He looked nothing like a military child.

Chen Jinming looked at the military green trousers and jacket handed over by Xu Maisui, with a flash of heartbeat in his white shirt eyes.

This was the first time Maisui saw such an expression on his face after knowing him for so long. He walked up to him holding an umbrella and without any explanation, put the clothes into his hands.

"Go and try. I told Xinyue not to let her come over."

Chen Jinming looked at the clothes that were stuffed in and hesitated for a few seconds before entering the kitchen.

Xu Maisui didn't go far after seeing it, but stood aside and waited.

After a while, a young man with a straight figure and thick eyebrows appeared at the door of the kitchen.

Xu Maisui's eyes suddenly lit up, "Yes, it suits you very well."

Chen Jinming quietly tugged at the hem of his clothes, pretending to be calm and said, "Thank you."

Xu Maisui: "You're welcome, these are not new clothes, they are all leftover from Lin Xiao's uncle."

"You're dressed just right and I don't have to change it."

"Everything has been changed, right? Then I'll go in and cook."

After hearing this, Chen Jinming immediately stepped aside and moved out of the way.

Because it took a lot of time to collect grain and pick up the children, Xu Maisui didn't cook and just made a pot of noodles. It was easy to eat and still warm.

"Lin Xiao, come here and help." Xu Maisui shouted directly into the room after laying down the noodles.

After a while, Lin Xiao ran out of the room and was stunned for a moment when he saw Chen Jinming for the first time.

"Why are you calling me?"

Xu Maisui hugged the two ears of the iron pot with two pieces of cloth and replied to him: "Bring a few bowls and let's go inside to fill the noodles."

"Jin Ming, run fast. Go and open the door for me."

Chen Jinming looked at Xu Maisui's preparations and said proactively: "Auntie, how about I do it?"

Xu Maisui: "No, it's just a matter of a few steps."

As soon as Chen Jinming ran out, Xu Maisui chased after him and carried the pot into the house in the rain.

"Xinyue, serve the noodles. You guys eat first. I'll pick up Haohao." He walked towards the bedroom.

Chen Jinming saw that Xu Xinyue and Lin Xiao were the only ones in the main room at this time, so he hurried to the kitchen and walked in with two towels after a while.

At this time, Xu Xinyue was the only one in the room, and Lin Xiao and the others didn't know what they were doing.

"This is for you."

Xu Xinyue took a moment to take a look while serving the noodles. Seeing that the towel on her side was still dry, she asked in surprise: "Why are you useless?"

"I used one, but this one is useless." Seeing that it was inconvenient for her to hold the bowl in her hand, she put it aside and said, "I'll leave it here." Then she walked out again.

Xu Xinyue thought he had gone out to get something again and didn't take it to heart. When she finished loading the noodles and went out to call for someone, she saw that the firewood in the yard had disappeared along with the people.
