Reborn in the 70s as a shrew

Chapter 69: Fighting for food during heavy rain

Xu Maisui was so frightened that she suddenly sat up from the bed, picked up the clothes on the side and walked out while putting them on.

Lin Jianye, who heard the commotion, also walked out, "What are you doing at this late hour?"

Xu Maisui took a flashlight and shined it on him, then looked outside the house and saw that the night sky with twinkling stars suddenly became as bright as day, followed by a flash of lightning.

Xu Maisui: "The grain is still lying outside. I have to go to the village to harvest it, otherwise my work for the past six months will be in vain."

Lin Jianye heard this and said without saying a word: "Wait a minute and I'll go too." After saying that, he went back to the house and put on some pants, picked up two raincoats and went out.

With Lin Jianye accompanying him, Xu Maisui felt a lot more at ease along the way. Not long after he went out, a muffled thunder exploded from his ears, followed by a heavy rain, and raindrops as big as beans fell on the ground with a loud thud.

Xu Maisui glanced at Lin Jianye, and both of them quickened their pace, and finally started running.

When we arrived at the drying ground, most of the villagers had already arrived, and they were all busy harvesting.

The conditions in the countryside were not good at this time. There were not many families like them with raincoats. The men were shirtless, wearing big pants and straw hats, and the women were wearing hats and a plastic bag. What's more, there is nothing, just soaking in the rain.

Everyone was surprised to see Xu Maisui and Lin Jianye coming over, "Accountant Xu, why are you here?"

Xu Maisui: "I'm worried about coming over and taking a look."

"Where did you collect all the food?"

Li Youliang: "It's all in the warehouse."

Xu Maisui: "Okay." After saying that, he rushed to help.

The corns were all braided, which was easier to carry. Each person ran to the warehouse with three braided corns in each hand.

Peanuts are more difficult to collect. They are picked and spread directly on the ground. They have to be piled up and put into baskets to transport to the house.

They didn't have a large plastic sheet here at this time, so they could only collect it bit by bit into the house.

Lin Jianye has also been doing farm work with Mrs. Lin since he was a child. He took a quick glance and joined the ranks of peanut harvesters.

Because this requires sweeping them all together and shoveling them into the basket is more difficult.

Just when Lin Jianye was working in full swing, the team leader came out to pretend to be peanuts and happened to meet him.

Seeing him, he still couldn't believe it, "Commander Lin, why are you here?"

Lin Jianye: "I'm here to help."

"The rain is getting heavier and heavier. We have to hurry up, otherwise we may not be able to protect the peanuts."

At this time, he didn't care to say anything more. The captain nodded casually and continued to work.

Li Youcai had been busy on the other side, but Lin Jianye's figure was too dazzling. Seeing Li Youliang coming over, Li Youcai subconsciously asked: "Who is that man? Isn't he from our village?"

Li Youliang glanced in the direction of his question and replied casually: "You mean him? Accountant Xu's husband is worthy of being a soldier. Even if he is very powerful, the two of us can't defeat him."

Li Youcai frowned, "Okay, let's get to work quickly."

Li Youliang muttered aggrievedly: "You didn't ask me first."

This work lasted most of the night. When they finished cleaning up, they saw that everyone looked like they had been washed.

Because Lin Jianye had to go to work tomorrow, Xu Maisui didn't stay long and said hello to the team leader before leaving.

The captain looked at the rain outside which was not letting up at all, and said worriedly: "It's raining heavily outside, otherwise you will just stay at the brigade headquarters for the night and leave tomorrow."

Xu Maisui: "There are two children at home, so I can't worry about going back to watch them."

After hearing this, the captain gave no further advice, "Then you should be careful on the road."

Xu Maisui: "Okay." After saying that, he and Lin Jianye walked into the heavy rain.

The female director looked at the two people leaving and said sincerely: "Even though our accountant is so weak, I didn't expect him to be so responsible and come to help us even in such heavy rain."

Li Youcai's wife couldn't help but said after hearing this: "She has money from our brigade, so of course she has to come and help."

After hearing this, Li Youcai glared at his wife angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. She is an accountant. What can you say even if she doesn't come?"

After hearing this, Li Youcai's wife rolled her eyes and replied angrily: "Who are you? Why did you protect her? You didn't see the man standing next to her. How can you compare to her? It's like a toad trying to eat a swan." Meat, and don’t urinate to look after yourself.”

Li Youcai's face darkened, "Have you taken some medicine? You don't like anything you see."

Li Youcai’s wife: “You don’t know whether I’ve taken the gunpowder or not.”

"Captain, nothing's wrong, I'll leave first." After saying that, he went into the rain without looking back.

Li Youcai stood there with his face as dark as the bottom of a pot, "I'm really used to it."

The captain reprimanded with a dark face: "What are you looking at here? Why don't you hurry up and chase me."

Li Youcai: "I'm worried about so many things. I have to guard them here."

Captain: "There are so many people who don't need you, so go quickly."

"And go back and ask your mother-in-law who is talking nonsense in front of her. I have to talk to her then."

With so many people there, Li Youcai couldn't help but said in a low voice, "I won't go back. How can I leave when I'm the captain?"

"Besides, I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I chase her?" After saying that, he walked to the back and sat down.

After seeing this, the brigade captain's wife looked at him with hatred and hurriedly chased in the direction where Li Youcai's wife was walking.

Xu Maisui followed Lin Jianye out of the village, turned back and glanced at the seaside, and couldn't move in an instant.

Lin Jianye noticed it and turned to look at her and shouted, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Maisui pointed towards the sea and said in surprise: "Where are you looking?"

I saw that the originally calm and boundless sea was now turbulent, and the black waves rolled up and seemed to be able to swallow everything.

Seeing her surprised look, Lin Jianye was silent for a moment and said, "Follow me." As he said that, he took Xu Maisui's hand and walked towards the seaside.

The two found a very high place and looked down. The shock in their eyes could not be described in words.

"This is what the ocean really looks like."

Xu Maisui turned to look at Lin Jianye and shouted: "It's so shocking. I have never seen the sea in a heavy rain."

Lin Jianye was silent, "Let's go."

His feelings for the sea are actually very complicated. In this age when he has to explore everything by himself, the sea has actually taken away many of his brothers.

After seeing it in the heavy rain, Xu Maisui didn't stay long and followed Lin Jianye back.

Unlike when he arrived, Xu Maisui was so tired that he couldn't lift his legs when he returned, so he relied on hanging on Lin Jianye's arm to move forward.

Fortunately, there was no one around at this time, so Lin Jianye just left him hanging, "If you're like this, it's better for me to carry you."

Lin Jianye had proposed it earlier, but Xu Maisui was afraid that he would be tired, so he refused.
