318. Chapter 317 Spring Rain
In the afternoon.
The temperature on Dandan Island suddenly dropped, and a cloud of fog surrounded the top of the island. From a distance, it looked like a white hat.
After the fog appeared, it was not long before the island began to drizzle.
The village became busy because of the rain. The fisherwomen who were mending their nets at the dock rushed home one by one.
"It's foggy."
"It's raining."
"Come back quickly to collect things."
The spring rain was very fine and soft.
But even such a light rain made the floor wet in less than a moment, and the eaves began to drip slowly.
"The dried squid I just dried is going to get moldy."
"If you are afraid of mold, quickly borrow the drying room from the village director. I used it last time. A few hours is better than your drying for seven or eight days. It is very useful."
And those women who fished on the mudflats and beaches put on bamboo hats, but when they bent over to catch seafood, the clothes and pants below the waist would still get wet.
After a while, they all rushed home to change clothes.
After all, there is no village doctor on Dandan Island now. Once you have a fever or a cold, the consequences are still very serious.
The people of Dandan Island love and hate the rainy season.
What they love is that the rainy season can bring a lot of fresh water to Dandan Island. At this time, the wells are often full, and the vegetables they grow will grow very fast.
What they don’t like is.
They have very few crops and almost rely on fishing for a living. If the spring rain continues to fall, it will cause them a lot of trouble, especially those who want to dry fish.
When the rain just started.
Li Duoyu moved the oven for roasting eels to the kitchen.
Chen Huiying quickly put away the clothes in the courtyard, muttering to herself: "Tutu's diapers are not easy to dry again, so I have to dry them again."
Li Duoyu looked at the clock in the house. It was already past four in the afternoon.
All the eels have been roasted and neatly placed on the stove.
Zhou Xiaoying is about to finish class.
When she went out today, she didn't seem to bring an umbrella.
Li Duoyu put on a black umbrella, and then took the folding umbrella from the cabinet and put it directly into his pocket.
Before going out, he also looked at the mirror and found that the man in the mirror was much more handsome than when he first came to this world.
"Mother, Xiaoying didn't bring an umbrella, I'll go pick her up."
"Please help me watch those grilled eels, don't let the mice steal them."
Looking at Li Duoyu who hurried out, Chen Huiying couldn't help but think of her youth.
At that time, she had just had a big baby in her belly, and the two of them were poor and lived in a leaky house.
When the rainy season came, the house was set up with wooden barrels every day, and often had to change several positions a day.
At that time, after Lao Li finished his work in the brigade, he would go to the beach to ask for Xiaohai. As long as it rained, she would go to the beach to find him with a straw hat.
Although life was hard, the two had a very good relationship. Unfortunately, as Li got older, his personality became more and more stubborn. He only cared about his children and grandchildren and would not listen to anything.
Chen Huiying could not help but touch Tutu's head: "Little boy, be good, you know, you are really lucky, your parents have such a good relationship."
When Li Duoyu arrived at the school, the school bell rang.
A group of primary school students wearing red scarves and carrying military green messenger bags were not afraid of the rain at all and rushed out in a swarm.
Many students directly covered their heads with their schoolbags, and some children who knew Li Duoyu smiled and said hello: "Hello, village chief."
Li Duoyu also smiled: "Hello, you too."
The fat boy ran out with a schoolbag on his back, with a smile on his face, looking very happy.
After seeing Li Duoyu at the door, he was surprised and said, "Uncle, why are you here?"
Seeing the little fat boy so happy, Li Duoyu was a little surprised. During the normal days of school, he should have been frowning.
"So happy, something good happened."
Li Haoran grinned and said, "Hehe, today my aunt called me to the office and gave me my winter vacation homework, asking me to do it again without public criticism." Li Duoyu was stunned. It seems that his "pillow wind" is still effective. Comrade Xiaoying is still considerate.
"Then you have to do it well and don't write random answers anymore, understand."
"I know."
"Haoran, it's raining, you come back with me."
The little fat boy shook his head like a drum: "You must be here to pick up your aunt, how dare I go with you."
After that, he ran back to the village with his classmates: "Xiaojun, wait for me."
After most of the students left.
Two teachers came out holding an umbrella, both wearing white shirts and black long skirts, one with a single ponytail and the other with double ponytails.
Arrived at the door.
After seeing the silly smile of Li Duoyu, Lin Shanshan with double ponytails said with envy: "Tsk tsk tsk, you came to pick me up on the first day of school."
"You have been married for several years, and your relationship is still so good. If I didn't know, I would have thought that your Xiaoying was pregnant again."
"Shanshan, what are you talking about." Zhou Xiaoying rolled her eyes at her.
Lin Shanshan shook her head and sighed: "Hey, I won't be a light bulb for you, you take your time, I'll go back first."
After Lin Shanshan left.
Zhou Xiaoying smiled at Li Duoyu, and for a moment, her cheeks were slightly red, and she didn't know what to say.
But the next second.
Li Duoyu pulled her directly into the umbrella and said with disdain: "It's raining, why are you standing there like an idiot."
Zhou Xiaoying was embarrassed and looked around: "It would be so embarrassing if the students saw us."
"Everyone has left, where are the students?"
"There are still people on duty."
"The duty people won't be so fast."
"Didn't you bring an extra umbrella? Give it to me quickly, I can go by myself."
Li Duoyu snorted: "Bringing is one thing, using it is another."
"Stay close, your shoulder is wet."
Zhou Xiaoying was angry and annoyed.
"Next time, you'd better not come to pick me up. Even if I don't bring an umbrella, Shanshan will take me back."
"You don't let me come, but I will come anyway. In the future, maybe I will buy a motorcycle to pick you up."
"Are you sick? Our island is so small. Why do you buy a motorcycle? It's a waste of money."
"Buy it to pick you up."
Zhou Xiaoying frowned: "That's even more of a waste of money. I can just walk back by myself."
"By the way, let's go home quickly. I'll treat you to eels."
Zhou Xiaoying thought of the eels she saw this morning, and then couldn't help but glance at Li Duoyu.
Isn't it possible that he has already taken supplements and is now eager to take her back? Is that what he is thinking about?
"You can eat it if you want, I won't eat it, that thing that looks a bit like a snake."
"Believe me, your husband's eel is delicious."
Zhou Xiaoying's cheeks instantly turned red like apples: "I don't want it."
At this time, Principal Zhu, who was about to leave the school, had just opened his umbrella when he saw Li Duoyu and Zhou Xiaoying not far away. He frowned slightly and shrank back directly.
In the past, he would definitely deliberately walk up and cough twice to remind them that this would have a bad influence.
But now it's different. Li Duoyu is the village director and is very familiar with many leaders above. If he does this again, he will be asking for trouble.
In addition, Chenjia Village has recently intended to merge schools, although it is likely that he is the principal and the principal of Chenjia Village is the deputy.
But he is afraid that the other party will use connections, so during this period, he dare not arrange too much work for Zhou Xiaoying.
At that time, if there is really an unexpected situation, he will have to ask Li Duoyu to help him run relationships. (End of this chapter)
