After March, the temperature became higher and higher.
It was in the middle of April, but it was like summer. It was so hot that Zhang Kun put on his short sleeves shirt.
Li Xu saw that the weather was good, so she took out all the clothes from spring and winter, washed them, dried them, and put them into the innermost cabinet.
But who knew that just as she put them away, the weather changed.
It had been raining for the second half of April, and the temperature dropped sharply. Li Xu had no choice but to take out the thick clothes again.
The rain did not stop for more than ten days. The business in the shop had improved because of the rain.
The people in the vicinity were not willing to go all the way to the market because of the rain. They all wanted to come to Li Xu’s store for convenience.
Moreover, Li Xu liked to be clean. The store was always clean, but the market was full of mud and water.
Li Xu didn’t mind the trouble. Every once in a while, when there was no one in the store, she would mop the floor.
She had made a lot of money in the past few days.
On the last day of April, at around six o’clock in the evening, Zhang Kun pushed open the door of the store with a body full of cold air.
He stood at the door, took off his raincoat, hung it behind the door, and took a bucket to catch the raindrops from the raincoat.
“Drink some water to warm up your body!” Li Xu quickly took the teacup and poured a cup of warm water for Zhang Kun.
Zhang Kun went around to the cashier and sat down. He held the cup in his arms to warm his hands.
“The weather is too abnormal. A few days ago, the sun was shining brightly, but now it’s starting to rain. It’s been raining for more than ten days, right?” Zhang Kun complained, “I have to go to work in the wind and rain every day. When I go to work, my clothes get wet. I can’t dry them all day.”
Li Xu nodded. “That’s right. It’s been raining since the middle of the month. It’s already the last day of April.”
Zhang Kun asked again, “How’s the greenhouse at home? There’s a lot of rain this year. We have to be more careful!”
Li Xu nodded. “I called home yesterday. Xiao Yong said there was no problem. The vegetables are growing well and the fruits are not bad.”
“That’s good. This year is strange. The rain in previous years was not this much,” Zhang Kun muttered in a low voice.
Li Xu was sitting on the chair. When she heard Zhang Kun’s words, she suddenly thought of the night two months ago.
Yuanyuan woke up in the middle of the night and said that she had a dream.
She dreamed of a lot of water and someone said something about fighting the flood!
Li Xu’s heart immediately tightened. Could Yuanyuan be telling the truth? The weather this year was really too abnormal!
On second thought, Li Xu’s heart sank even more.
If something like space could happen to her daughter, then it was not impossible for other strange things to happen.
“Tomorrow is a holiday. What should we do?” Zhang Kun drank a mouthful of water and asked.
After waiting for a long time, Li Xu still did not answer him.
He turned his head to look at her in surprise. He did not know what Li Xu was thinking. Her entire face was scrunched up.
He reached out and poked Li Xu’s face. “What are you thinking about?”
This poking woke Li Xu up. She looked at Zhang Kun and forced a smile. “Nothing. I just suddenly remembered that I made a mistake in the calculation today. I received a few cents less.”
Zhang Kun didn’t think too much and comforted her. “It’s not much. Don’t think about it. Think about something happy.What are we going to do on Labor Day holiday?”
Li Xu sighed softly. “What else can we do? It’s raining outside. We can’t go anywhere.”
Speaking of this, she smiled. “Yuanyuan had discussed with me earlier that Mucheng had invited her to B City. Fortunately, I refused. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to go anywhere in B City in this rain!”
Zhang Kun said, “There’s a way to play in the rain. What about going to the museum or shopping mall? We won’t get caught in the rain.”
Li Xu Thought for a moment and shook her head. “Forget it. Zixuan is about to take the high school entrance exam in a few months. Let him study at home.”
Although they didn’t need to take the exam to choose a middle school, but if their grades were better, when they get into the middle school, the teachers would have a better impression of them.
Seeing that Li Xu had no intention of going out, Zhang Kun let out a long sigh. “Alright then. We can only stay at home.”
On rainy days, there were many customers during the day, but there were very few people at night.
The two of them stayed in the shop until seven o’clock before returning home.
At home, the children had already eaten and showered.
Ji Zixuan was doing his homework in the house. Ji Zi’ang was sprawled on the sofa watching television while Ji Yuanyuan was lying on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
When Li Xu entered the house and saw Ji Yuanyuan’s gaze, she stopped in her tracks.
Zhang Kun returned to his house and came over after taking a shower.
His clothes were wet and he did not feel comfortable wearing them.
He played with the children until ten o’clock in the evening before returning home.
Ji Zixuan and Ji Zi’ang obediently went to bed to rest.
Ji Yuanyuan was the last one to brush her teeth and face. When she was done cleaning up and walking into the bedroom, Li Xu suddenly called out to her, “Yuanyuan, Mommy will sleep with you tonight!”
Ji Yuanyuan looked at Li Xu in surprise. She blinked her eyes as she came to a realization.
She nodded. “Okay!”
It was probably because the rain had been falling too frequently recently. Combined with her previous dreams, it made her mother suspicious.
It had to be said that her mother’s response came rather late.
It had been raining for half a month before she react.
Not long after Ji Yuanyuan lay on the bed, Li Xu came over.
Ji Yuanyuan automatically rolled into Li Xu’s embrace. After Li Xu covered Ji Yuanyuan with the blanket, she asked tentatively, “Yuanyuan, have you slept well recently?”
Ji Yuanyuan naturally knew what Li Xu wanted to ask. She pretended to be in a difficult position and hesitated for a long while before saying, “I’m alright!” “Did you have nightmares again?” Li Xu asked softly when she saw this.
This time, Ji Yuanyuan nodded. “Yes!”
“Then tell Mommy, what nightmares did you have?” Li Xu asked nervously.
“There was a lot of water and the water level kept rising. I watched from the side and couldn’t help at all.” Ji Yuanyuan’s tone was a little anxious, “The wind is so strong and there are so many people from the People’s Liberation Army. They can’t even stand in the water and can only hold hands.”
Li Xu heard her daughter’s anxious tone and reached out to gently pat her back to comfort her.
After Ji Yuanyuan finished speaking, Li Xu did not speak for a long time.
She was thinking about the possibility of this matter.
S City was surrounded by the sea on both sides. It was not impossible for this matter to happen.
If it was true, then shouldn’t they make preparations in advance?
“Then did you dream about that Old Grandpa?” Li Xu asked again.
Ji Yuanyuan still nodded.
“Then did that Old Grandpa tells you where there is a lot of water?”
After Li Xu asked this question, Ji Yuanyuan came to a sudden realization.
Her words were vague. Could her mother have misunderstood?
She thought for a moment and said, “The Old Grandpa didn’t say, but there is a lot of rice in the water.. It seems to be in the South!”
