Chapter 153 After the rain, the sky is clear
"Thank you, Grandma An."
Pu Huai turned around and met a pair of eyes staring at him in a daze.
Maybe because the warmth from the fire was so comfortable, she seemed a little drowsy.
The eyes that were always wide open in the past were now half closed, with long eyelashes slightly curled, and pupils dyed with a layer of orange light, becoming gentle and calm.
As if bewitched, even time seemed to slow down as it passed by her.
His heart seemed to skip a beat.
Subconsciously looked away.
Falling on the bubbles rolling up from the bottom of the water.
Snapped.
A small explosion.
Splashing fine drops of water all around.
He tilted his head again—
The pair of eyes had also been retracted, and they slowly and dully focused their attention, staring at the fire, no one knew what they were thinking.
There was a hush in the air.
……
"You're welcome. Let's eat fish. If you're not satisfied, grandma will grill some for you."
Looking at this group of children, the smile on grandma's face never faded.
The more she ate, the happier she was.
The baked crispy steamed bread slices are sweet and crunchy when you bite into them.
The white fish meat is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, chewy and elastic.
With a sip of hot water, your limbs will feel warm.
This meal made everyone full and satisfied.
Grandma was worried that the children would become restrained in their speech with her around, so she went to the back to clean the fish.
Ji Zhenzhen wanted to find an excuse to leave, but was stopped by Pu Huai's look.
She puffed her lips and sat by the fire obediently.
Seeing this, Gan Qi didn't say a word of farewell.
Anjiu took another fish and put it on the stove to roast. After eating her fill, she felt a little lazy and just wanted to sit by the fire and take a nap.
The three of them chatted idly.
We gradually started talking about how long it would take for the rainy season to pass.
Ji Zhenzhen: "Didn't we get a notice a few days ago that this month's draw has been cancelled? We will definitely have to draw again once the rainy season stops."
Gan Qi bit her lip: "...but it's not good if I don't go there."
"Yeah." Anjiu rested his chin on his knees. "I think it will rain for a while. Let's just let nature take its course."
No one can predict what will happen in the future.
The firewood was burning with crackling sounds.
The tiny sparks that splashed out suddenly flashed like meteors.
In such silence, Pu Huai said calmly: "In at most half a month, the sun will come out."
The three girls turned their heads to look at him at the same time and asked in unison: "How did you know?"
Pu Huai looked at the flames: "Based on past speculation."
Anjiu: "Is it true?"
Pu Huai: “Almost.”
“Ahhh, no way?!” Ji Zhenzhen wailed, “Is it time to test my luck again? Oh my God!”
She immediately stood up, opened the window and washed her hands thoroughly, then put her palms together and bowed again and again towards the window.
Gan Qi asked quietly: "What is she doing?"
Anjiu: "Pray for the god of good luck to come on time?"
Ji Zhenzhen turned around and waved to the two of them, "Come here too! It will definitely work!"
Anjiu didn't believe it, but grandma believed it without a doubt.
"Xiaojiu, go and worship properly."
"Oh——" An Jiu dragged out the sound, pulled Gan Qi, and stood on Ji Zhenzhen's left and right, bowing sincerely towards the outside.
Grandma was satisfied and rolled her eyes.
I saw Pu Huai sitting in front of the stove, looking over there silently.
Grandma snorted in her heart.
Pack!
……
In the days that followed, grandma never asked Pu Huai to come home again.
Anjiu asked the reason.
Grandma said, "You can see that Zhenzhen is terribly afraid of Captain Pu. You have finally made a friend, so you should consider his feelings. As for Captain Pu... He is a man, so why should he be afraid of the cold? He won't freeze to death!"
Anjiu: “…”
I don't think that's what I said when I first called him.
Grandma continued: "You should warm yourself by the fire, don't catch a cold from running back and forth. I'm going to get something from Captain Pu, and I'll bring it back to him later."
Anjiu: "Okay."
……
That day, as soon as An Jiu got up, he realized something was wrong.
This light...seems to be much brighter!
She threw back the covers, jumped out of bed, ran to the window and looked out.
The originally dark clouds dissipated!
Behind the pale clouds in the sky, there is a round ball that looks like a salted egg yolk!
The heavy rain that had been falling for more than two months finally stopped at this moment.
Grandma walked up to her and looked outside, tears welling up in her eyes: "Finally the sun is coming out, the rainy season is finally over."
They finally made it through.
The two of them stretched their arms out of the window, trying to feel the warmth from the sun.
I haven’t seen the sun for so long. It feels like living in a cold hell.
Opening your eyes means living, closing your eyes means dying.
The sound of rain covered up the painful gasps of the struggle, and the surface of the water buried life and sin.
Her mood had been suppressed, but at this moment, it was redeemed.
He stared at the mass behind the cloud, unwilling to look away.
The air outside was still very cool, with faint rain falling.
But compared to the torrential rain that just blocked out the sun, this is nothing.
After all, they waited for the sun!
The wasteland turned into a water world. With sufficient light, they saw that the outside world was like a vast ocean with scattered hilltops in between.
It's like an isolated island, with a group on the left and a group on the right.
Anjiu stood on tiptoe and looked near the building.
When she saw it clearly, she was stunned.
"Why... is there nothing left?"
Grandma followed her gaze and asked, "What's gone?"
"Just..." Anjiu stopped talking and didn't continue.
These things have passed, so there is no need to talk about them and make grandma worry.
She made up an excuse: "I'm talking about the land. I can't see anything but the top."
Grandma didn't doubt it. She pointed to the exposed top of the hill and said, "The water over there must be very deep."
The two stood at the window and looked outside for a long time.
Until the roar of machines was heard downstairs.
Looking down, Anjiu was stunned to see several speedboats appear on the water.
The staff in uniform steered the boat straight into the distance.
Where are they going?
"We should go to the ditch." Grandma suddenly said, "There are a lot of fish there."
Anjiu suddenly realized.
No wonder they had to dig ditches outside the building in advance, it turns out it was for this!
When they went out at that time, they did not dare to go too far even if they were wading through water.
Because everyone knows that there is a deep ditch dug by the government in front.
If you accidentally step in, people who can't swim will be drowned.
"Aren't they afraid that the fish will run away?" she asked.
Grandma shook her head. "I've heard from others before that they would put a net at the bottom of the ditch, and when they came to collect it, they could catch all the fish before they swam away."
As they were talking, the group of staff had arrived at their destination.
The leader pressed a button.
A rumbling sound suddenly came out loudly.
Anjiu could sense that the residents downstairs were startled by the sound.
They all ran to the window and looked out like her.
Watching the little boat pulling out the huge net filled with fish.
