Chapter 139 Chapter 139

In the next few days, the two children went to catch cicadas with a group of friends every day. Li Changhui and Lin He planted sweet potatoes, and Xiuling helped them watch Li An.

There are quite a few people in the village who have caught monkeys. Children from almost every household have been mobilized, and even some adults who have finished their work are running around in the mountains and fields.

This thing can be sold for money, but it's only for a few days. After a few days, there will be too many of them everywhere, and it will be worthless.

Of course, delicious food is also one of the reasons. If you can’t sell it, you can still eat it yourself. If you can’t afford meat, why don’t you eat more these days?
Lin He has also fried cicada monkeys these days. Soybean oil is very good for frying food. Golden cicada monkeys smell delicious when sprinkled with salt and pepper.

However, Lin He could only smell it at best. Anyway, he would not eat it anyway, no matter how the two children persuaded him, or how delicious the food was, he would not do it.

It's a pity that the speed at which everyone caught cicadas obviously couldn't keep up with the growth rate of cicadas. In just a few days, the cicadas were heard endlessly in the village, and it was impossible to pretend not to hear them.

Before the sweet potatoes were planted in the village, there was a loud thunder, resounding through the sky, and it was pouring rain in an instant, and the sky that was still sunny a moment ago was covered with black clouds in an instant.

Many who did not make it home in time were chilled by the cold rain, even Lin He, who went to the field with the two children to catch cicadas because of boredom, was no exception.

With a bamboo basket on his head, he rushed home while greeting the two children.

Lin He wiped the rainwater off his face. He felt that his eyes could hardly be opened, but he still had to stand where he was, waiting for the two little guys who were a few steps behind.

"Hao'er, run fast, you'll be home soon."

Li Yu rushed past her with a 'whoosh': "Mother, go back first, I'm all wet anyway."

Li Hao also squinted his eyes from the rain: "Mom, go first, I'll be back soon."

When he passed by his mother, he was grabbed by the hand and almost dragged forward: "How long does it take for you to catch a cold in the rain, hurry back and change your clothes, and dry your hair."

This time, the speed was finally a little faster. Fortunately, it was not far from home now. When the mother and son finally arrived home, Li Yu was already drinking at the kitchen door with a bowl in his hand.

Li Changhui stood beside him, holding Li An in one hand, and holding a bowl in the other.

Seeing their drowned appearance, I wasn't surprised at all: "Come back, drink a bowl of ginger soup first, it's not hot anymore, then go back to the house and change clothes."

Li Yu put down the bowl and burped: "It's so comfortable, mother, Haoer, hurry up, it's so cold from the rain."

Turning around, he took another bowl out of the kitchen.

It's clearly summer, but the rain is cold and it's very uncomfortable to hit the body.

Lin He dragged Li Hao into the eaves, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The rain was so heavy that his skin hurt when it hit him.

The mother and son each took a bowl. The ginger soup was a bit spicy, but also had a bit of sweetness. After drinking it, the whole person felt much more comfortable and warm in an instant.

The rain on the head fell into the bowl drop by drop, and I didn't care.

After a few mouthfuls of dried ginger soup, Li Changhui took a handkerchief for each of them: "Wrap up your hair before going to change clothes, and then go to the kitchen to dry your hair."

When the mother and son finally changed into clean clothes, wiped their hair, and came out comfortably, Li Changhui had already taken several buckets and placed them under the eaves to collect water.

Li An was put into his exclusive little chair again, so he couldn't run around anymore.

The little guy whose freedom was restricted, when he saw Lin He, he quickly stretched out his hand and shouted: "Mother, mother."

The little guy can't do anything else, but it's easy to call his parents, especially when he needs help.

It's a pity that his mother didn't let him get what he wanted this time, she just motioned for Li Yu to go and see his younger brother, and then curiously walked over to Li Changhui's side.

First, I looked at it curiously, and then asked: "Didn't you also go out? Why didn't you get caught in the rain?"

This is the same outfit as in the morning, and not even a strand of hair is wet.

"I thought the weather was going to change, so I came back."

'Moo~' A cow blew, and Lin He was surprised: "You brought all the cows back?"

There is nothing to do today. After taking a nap, she and the two children went to catch cicadas.

Li Changhui didn't want to go, so he hugged Li An and said he was going to see how the sweet potatoes in the field were growing. He also said that he would go to the sweet potato field where he was growing, and pick up some sweet potato tips to eat at night. He also said that he was going to cut some pigweed.

But less than half an hour after they went out, it suddenly changed to rain.

Look at a basket of hogweed placed under the eaves, sweet potato tips on the kitchen table, the cows were brought back, and ginger soup was boiled for them in time?

Li Changhui nodded calmly: "Well, it seems to me that it's going to rain, so I went home and boiled ginger soup, and then went to bring the cow back."

As soon as he entered the door with his front feet, it rained on his back feet, but if it was later, he would not be able to avoid the rain.

Lin He couldn't help puffing his cheeks: "You knew it was raining, but you didn't even tell us."

If I remind you, the three of them won't all be drowned.

But Li Changhui said: "I don't know where you went, not to mention it's raining, you will come back naturally."

Lin He's eyelids twitched, knowing how to go home when it's raining?

Why does this sound so familiar?

But without allowing her to think too much, she was held by the wrist: "Stop standing here, there is still a fire in the kitchen, you all sit there, dry your hair first, so as not to catch a cold."

The mother and son were all driven to the front of the stove, and a clean veil was stuffed by Li Changhui alone.

The porridge has been cooked in the pot, and the porridge cooks slowly, just enough to dry the hair.

Even Li An was moved next to them. After a while, there was the sound of washing clothes outside.

The arm was poked, it was Li Yu, Lin He looked at him suspiciously: "Why?"

Li Yu said mysteriously, "Mother, my father is washing clothes again."

Lin He was even more surprised: "I know, what's wrong?"

From the first day she came to Xiang'an Village, Li Changhui washed his own clothes. It was only recently that Lin He had the opportunity to help wash when he was too busy and had no time.

She was not in good health before, and Li Changhui even fetched water and asked her to heat it up to wash her clothes. Now she is in better health and the weather is too hot, so she gave up.

Li Hao next to him also said, "Daddy is the only man in our village who can do laundry!"

Said quite proudly.

Lin He was taken aback, and asked, "Really? How do you know?"

She didn't seem to really care about this issue.

"Of course it's what other friends said. None of the fathers we know know how to do their own laundry!"

Li Yu spoke so decisively that Li Hao almost lost his nod.

Lin He: "..."

She didn't even know whether to envy those men or feel sorry for those women who wash clothes, but everyone should be used to it, right?

On the contrary, it seems that their own clothes are washed by themselves, which seems a bit strange.
