Chapter 38

The rice was thickly boiled in the pot. Wen Renxiao scooped it up with a spoon, but saw that the rice was still a bit raw, so he said, "Cook it for a while."

Chen Yutang added another handful of firewood to the crater.

The steaming heat of cooking in the kitchen makes people sweat profusely. Whenever Wen Renxiao couldn’t help but lift the lid of the pot to see if the rice in the pot was cooked or not, he would be suffocated by the heat that hit his face when the lid was opened. She opened her eyes, and the billowing white smoke and hot air hit her fair and tender cheeks, so warm.

After a while, the rice in the pot was cooked. Wen Renxiao took out the eating bowls and chopsticks from the cupboard, and scooped up two full bowls with a spoon.

Over there, Chen Yutang put out the fire in the stove, got up and walked over, holding a bowl in one hand.

The meal was eaten in the main room. The two sat at a square table, and a plate of pickles was placed in front of the porridge bowl.

"It's raining so hard!"

Wen Renxiao held the bowl in her hand, and drank the porridge with pickles in mouthfuls. Looking at the pattering rain outside the yard, she couldn't help saying, now there are no mobile phones, no short videos, TV sets Yes, but with their family's financial strength, they can't afford it at all, so there is no entertainment at all. When they are bored like now, they will just ask a random word without nutritional connotation to break the silence.

Before Chen Yutang met Wen Renxiao, he had long been used to the feeling of loneliness. Even if he lived in this era without any rich entertainment, he didn't feel bored.

But when Wen Renxiao appeared, under the intentional or unintentional influence of the other party, Chen Yutang also began to feel what it was like to be lonely.

It's like staying with Wen Renxiao, his heart is full of wanting to talk more with Wen Renxiao, so the time not spending time with Wen Renxiao seems empty and boring.

But now when he heard Wen Renxiao's exclamation, Chen Yutang didn't think that sentence was boring nonsense, but picked up the words very carefully:
"When the rain stops, there may be a lot of wild fungi growing on the mountain."

When it came to this topic, Wen Renxiao didn't feel sleepy anymore, and immediately looked at Chen Yutang with interest in his eyes: "Then let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms when the rain stops later!"

Chen Yutang was stared at by her shining eyes, and unconsciously missed a beat in his heart, but when he was in a daze, he nodded subconsciously, and agreed to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms together with Wen Renxiao.

Wen Renxiao knew that after the rain stopped, she couldn't wait to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms. She looked at the rain outside and thought to herself: "Hurry up! After it's over, I can go up the mountain to pick mushrooms to eat!"

It's just that the rain outside seemed to be against her, it kept falling non-stop, and the rain showed no sign of abating in Wen Renxiao's hopeful eyes.

Wen Renxiao's originally smiling face gradually disappeared with the unrelenting rain.

Until finally she finished her meal, Chen Yutang next to her consciously got up to take the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen to wash, and returned to her again, the rain outside was still the size of pearls, smashed into puddles pit, smashed into a small pond...

"It seems that the rain will not stop for a while."

Wen Ren laughed and said with some regret when thinking of the wild fungi on the mountain.

Chen Yutang sat beside her, frowning as he stared at the rain falling into the ground.

I don't know what he was thinking, but suddenly Chen Yutang got up and said with a smile to Wen Ren: "Let's go, let's go to Uncle Dong's house."

Uncle Dong is a very skilled craftsman in the village. He can make many things with bamboo and wood. The baskets and bamboo baskets of the villagers in the village are basically made by Uncle Dong.

Wen Renxiao knew about Uncle Dong, but he was curious as to why Chen Yutang was suddenly looking for Uncle Dong.

Then she watched Chen Yutang go into the house to carry a small bamboo stalk, and took out the only bamboo hat in the house. There was actually only one bamboo hat in the house, but when people laughed, Chen Yutang went to Uncle Dong to make another one.

Chen Yutang wore a bamboo hat on his own head, picked up another bamboo hat and put it on Wen Renxiao's head, lowered his head and carefully helped her fasten the rope of the bamboo hat, the delicate movements made it impossible not to move your heart.

Wen Renxiao looked at the man in front of him with lowered eyebrows and drooping eyes who was helping him to fasten his bamboo hat with a meek expression, and suddenly felt the scorching hot heart in his chest beating wildly several times.

"All right."

After Chen Yutang helped her put on the bamboo hat, he said softly, "I'll go to Uncle Dong later to buy two coir raincoats to protect against the rain. It's raining now so I won't go up the mountain and get my clothes wet!"

Wen Ren smiled and nodded.

After the two packed everything up, they headed towards the place where Uncle Dong lived in the village.

Uncle Dong's house is a tile-roofed house just like them. The old roof tiles are covered with moss, which adds a bit of the smell of time.

"Boom boom boom!"

Chen Yutang and Wen Renxiao stood at the door waiting for Uncle Dong to open the door.

Soon Uncle Dong's steady and old voice sounded in the room: "Who is it?"

"Uncle Dong, it's me, Chen Yutang."

Hearing Uncle Dong's voice, Chen Yutang immediately responded.

Uncle Dong's ears have been hard to use these years, and he can't hear anything when talking to him in a softer voice.

Uncle Dong came over and slowly opened the door. Seeing that it was Chen Yutang who came to visit with a smile on his face, he opened the door wide so that the two of them could come in to shelter from the rain.

"Go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Yutang, what do you want to come to Uncle with a smile?"

Uncle Dong joked with a smile.

"Uncle Dong, Xiaoxiao and I are planning to go up the mountain to pick some fungus to eat when it's raining, but we're afraid that the clothes will get wet and it's hard to change and wash, so we come to you to buy two coir raincoats."

Chen Yutang told Uncle Dong truthfully, without beating around the bush.

When Uncle Dong heard his words, he showed a meaningful expression on his face, and then walked to the wall next to the ready-made coir raincoats, and picked out the coir raincoats that were suitable for the two of them.

"How about these two?"

Uncle Dong showed the things to the two of them.

Chen Yutang and Wen Renxiao looked at the coir raincoat that Uncle Dong handed over. It felt hairy to the touch, but it was very dry and moisture-proof.

"Just them!"

After taking a fancy to these two coir raincoats, Chen Yutang gave the money to Uncle Dong without hesitation. Uncle Dong wanted to refuse, but after Chen Yutang gave the money, he pulled Wen Renxiao and ran out with bamboo green hair on their heads. Wearing a brown-black coir raincoat, they walked into the rain curtain with steady or light steps. The rain and mist were misty. At this moment, they walked into the rain curtain as beautiful as an ink painting.

Wen Renxiao, who was dragged away by Chen Yutang to leave Uncle Dong's house, and the man came to a road up the mountain.

"Yutang, you are running too fast! Stop, I can't keep up!"

Wen Renxiao patted her chest out of breath, and followed Chen Yutang as she ran over. She didn't even catch her breath, and now she stopped suddenly, and almost didn't catch her breath.
