Hard times have room

Chapter 213 Going Home Barefoot
Paulin separated from Dongmei at a fork in the road, and walked directly on the main road, carrying her dirty straw sandals in her hands, returning barefoot all the way.

When she passed the big puddle, she went down to wash the straw sandals she was carrying. Fortunately, she took off the shoes after realizing that the shoes were slippery, so there was not too much mud in them, otherwise they would not be washed well. Wash, she doesn't want to button it directly with her hands!
Now the road under my feet is a pure dirt road. When the bullock cart is overwhelmed, people also leave. After walking more, it becomes a road.

When the sky is clear, it looks fine. At most, the wind blows and the dust is flying. But after it rains, especially after the heavy rain, the whole road is impossible to see, and the potholes are filled with yellow water. , there is no water in the slightly higher place, but when you step down, the gap between your toes is full of mud, and it is difficult to walk in shoes, not to mention how bad it is.

Along the way, I was drenched in the rain again, and I had to look at the road. I had to be careful when walking, because the road was slippery, and I would fall if I accidentally fell. This Dongmei, who was originally traveling with Paulin, can prove that, but it was slippery. After a while, the pain is not too painful, but the soiled pants are a bit difficult to deal with.

In the past, it only took five or six minutes to get home, but Pauline walked for more than ten minutes today.

As soon as I got home, I found that the situation at home was not much better. The front yard that was flat and sturdy before was often sunbathing, but now it has become a mess, with yellow mud water flowing everywhere, and even the walls closest to the house are protruding. The place covered by the straw has also become clammy and soft, making people worry that the newly built house will collapse with the heavy rain.

However, after Pauline tried it, her confidence increased greatly, and she felt that the house was still very strong.

She walked directly to the wall on the left, reached out and touched the bottom wall, which seemed to have been completely wet by the rain. Unexpectedly, only the surface was wet. When she clicked her fingernails, the wall tiles inside were still in good condition. Yes, it's not wet at all, it is indeed a local method that has been handed down for so many years!

It is not difficult to understand that the old house has lived in the house for more than ten years, and it is still good now. Apart from changing the roof every one or two years, it is not a problem to keep out the wind and rain.

"Why are you still there? Wang Baolin, haven't you been drenched in the rain yet?" Su Hongying saw that she had already arrived home. Unlucky girl, couldn't help but speak out.

She was the first to go home. First, she went to the drying flat. Seeing that the millet had been piled up, and the edge was about to move with the flow of water, she and her companions went to the warehouse to move the wood and stopped her, so she went home.

After changing clothes, not long after he came out, he was still wiping his hair. This Wang Jiandang also came back. Needless to say, his whole body was soaked, and there was still a big mud mark on his buttocks. At a glance, he knew that this person fell backwards. A fall.

"Why are you alone? Where's Paulin?" Su Hongying saw that both of them had returned, and Paulin was nowhere to be seen, so she became anxious and asked Wang Jiandang anxiously.

She was worried about the heavy rain.

"I'm not with her, aren't you with her?" Wang Jiandang was a little confused himself.

He was the one who knocked and threw the barrels for the rice, and he was alone. Instead, it was his daughter-in-law who cut the rice, and Paulin was the one who picked the ears of rice. The two of them should be together, let's go home together!
"Didn't I be called back by the captain to collect the millet? Where can I be with her." Originally, Paulin was next to her, but wasn't she called away later?

"Then I'll look for it again, why haven't I come back yet." After Wang Jiandang finished speaking, he took off the shirt and put it back on.

"Okay, don't go, your girl will definitely not have an accident. Now that the rain is so heavy, maybe she is hiding from another house!"

"Besides, it's windy and rainy outside. If you can see what's going on outside, there will be ghosts. Don't go out, lest you find your daughter when you don't find it, and then put yourself in."

Su Hongying didn't even think about it, she grabbed Wang Jiandang's forearm and didn't let anyone go out.

Now this ghost weather, going out is also a result, just can't find it, in this case, it is better to wait at home!In case the other one comes back when the time comes, this one is gone, isn't this just looking for trouble for yourself, pure idle?
"Oh, it seems so, then I'll change my clothes at home and wait!" Thinking of this, he would definitely be unable to open his eyes when he went out. He couldn't hear such a loud rain, so Wang Jiandang put it down. After he finished, he went to his own room, rummaged through to find a set of clothes, and put them on for himself.

I waited for more than half an hour. I finally hoped for the stars and the moon to bring people back. This unfortunate child did not say hello when he got home. He didn't even say hello. Let's take a look here. I looked there, and went directly to the left wall of the house. I touched it there, and I didn't know what was going on.

"Ah, here it is." Hearing Su Hongying's angry cry, Paulin didn't delay any longer.

In a large pit in the yard full of yellow muddy water, I roughly washed my dirty feet, and then walked to the door of the main room wearing straw sandals, took off my shoes, and went into the house barefoot.

The dirt floor in the house was already very wet, and it was a little slippery to step on it. Pauline needed to walk carefully.

"Why are you only coming back now? Why don't you know how to run home in such a heavy rain!" Su Hongying stretched out her hand, which seemed heavy, but in fact gently tapped Baolin's forehead.

"Oh, isn't this a delay? The rain is so heavy, I don't dare to run around. If I accidentally fall, it will be more of a problem. It's better to be like I just did, wait for the rain to lighten, and then go to Let's go home." Bao Lin smiled, and didn't care about Su Hongying's little actions, it was a sign of caring about her!

Besides, she didn't feel that she made a mistake, and she would still make the same choice next time, but if the rain still didn't stop after ten or twenty minutes, then she had to walk back slowly Otherwise, the body will not be able to hold on.

"Don't worry, Pauline's clothes are still wet now, let her go and change!" Wang Jiandang also persuaded from the side, as if he wasn't the one who was anxious to go out 10 minutes ago.

"Okay, why don't you go and change your clothes? What are you doing here!" Su Hongying couldn't help it when she saw that Baolin had heard Wang Jiandang's words, and she couldn't help it. .

"Oh, I'm going right now, right now." Pauline walked to her house after saying that. Her mother is really a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person!

However, Bao Lin thought about it later and took a bath for herself. In response to Comrade Su Hongying's strong request, she added a tablespoon of coarse salt to the water. I don't know where she knew these strange things.
