Mrs. Fu is very hard to follow

Because he didn't wear rain boots and there was thunder outside, Gu Beining didn't allow Chen Bao to go out to play in puddles.The little guy was a little disappointed, but he obediently moved a small bench and sat under the eaves, resting his face on his hands, looking sadly at the pouring rain outside.

The heavy rain covered the scenery in this area with a layer of smoke and rain. Anyway, they were not in a hurry, and now that they had shelter from the rain, Fu Zhihan's mood was still calm: "I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the imperial capital today."

Now the rain doesn't look like it will stop in an hour.Taking a step back, even if the rain stopped completely in an hour according to the best-case scenario, it would be too early by then, and there would be no way for them to return to the imperial capital on time.

Even if Fu Zhihan and Gu Beining were willing to drive at night, after the heavy rain, the roads were wet, so they couldn't drive as fast as before for safety's sake.In addition, heavy rain may also cause secondary crises, such as mountain torrents, landslides and other issues, all of which must be paid attention to while driving.

With Gu Beining's cautious character, he was unwilling to take risks on the road: "Yes. Let's find a place to live nearby when the rain stops later, or when the rain is lighter."

There are villages around here, and it is estimated that there are no hotels or hotels.Fu Zhihan estimated that the nearest hotel would have to go to the town. Fortunately, the transportation is convenient now, and it won't take long to drive there.

……

They were waiting for the rain to stop, and the old woman who had just entered came out again.She was still curious about Gu Beining and the others, and communicated with them in her not-so-fluent Mandarin: "Are you taking your children out to play?"

"Almost. Do you live here alone?" Gu Beining asked.

"Live with my old man. He went to the city to see my grandson in the morning. My son bought a house in the city, and the three of them will live in the city. They will come back to see me when they are on vacation. Houses in the city are too expensive, I should have known In the end, I still have to go to the city to buy a house, and I won’t renovate the house in the country. They don’t live here, it’s a waste of money.” It’s rare for the old man to have someone to talk to her. , daughter-in-law all work in the city, and it is more convenient for them to live in the city. How old are your children?"

"I'm four years old." Chen Bao said obediently.

"My little grandson is seven years old, older than you, and he's going to school. Originally, my son's family was going to come over for dinner at night. I'm making steamed stuffed buns, which my little grandson likes to eat. But now that it's raining so hard, I don't know if they will come or not." Here we come. My buns are all steamed in the pan."

……

Gu Beining chatted with the old man for a while, they were all ordinary things, but she was a little envious of being cared about by her parents like this.

Things are still cooking on the pot, and the old-fashioned stove needs people to keep adding fire, so the old man went to the back kitchen to work again after a while.

Gu Beining collected her thoughts and prayed again for the rain to stop soon.

……

This time the weather forecast did not go wrong again. The downpour did decrease after an hour, but it only changed from heavy rain to heavy rain.

The only thing that is better is that there is no more thunder, and the sky is brighter than before. It should not be long before the rain should stop.

The rain still made it impossible to drive, Fu Zhihan felt the coolness, and said to Gu Beining, "I'll get you some clothes in the car."

Gu Beining had the nerve to bother him: "No need, I'm not too cold."

"It's okay, I'm going to get a coat myself." Fu Zhihan said, looking at his son squatting on the eaves, and asked Gu Beining, "Do you want to get something for Chen Bao?"

Gu Beining thought for a while and said, "Then you can just take my small silver suitcase, which contains my and Chen Bao's coats."

"Okay." Fu Zhihan put on his raincoat and walked quickly towards the entrance of the village in the heavy rain.

Chen Bao stood up curiously: "Ning Ning, where is Fu Zhihan going?"

"I went to the car to get my clothes." After being reminded by Fu Zhihan, Gu Beining was indeed a little cold.She stepped forward to hug her son, the warm son was like a little sun, which made her warmer, "What is Chen Bao doing?"

"There is a very long earthworm." Chen Bao pointed to the soil in the corner of the wall, there was indeed a long strip of things, but it was not a long earthworm, but a small red ring snake.

Chen Bao just picked up a branch and poked something there to play. At first, Gu Beining thought he was digging mud, but unexpectedly there was a snake hidden, so he quickly asked, "Did you get bitten?"

Chen Bao shook his head, and told Gu Beining seriously: "Earthworms don't bite people."

"That's a snake." Gu Beining checked his son's hands and legs, and after making sure there were no wounds, he glanced at the red ring snake with lingering fear.

Chen Bao looked back at the Chihuan Snake dubiously, and suddenly realized: "I just said why it is so big and has so many rings on its body, so it is a snake!"

Not only is the son not afraid, but he is also a little happy. It is true that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Gu Beining is a medical student, and she also came into contact with things like snakes when she was studying.She is not afraid of these creatures, but she is worried that her son will be hurt by these things: "Are you really not bitten?"

Chen Bao shook his head: "No. When I saw that little snake, it seemed to be dead, lying motionless on the ground."

This really made Gu Beining heave a sigh of relief. She signaled Chen Bao to stay far away, picked up the long branch her son had thrown on the ground, and walked forward cautiously, only to find the snake lying lifelessly on the wet soil Above, it is indeed dead.

The natural environment in the countryside is good, and there are many wild animals, and snakes are one of them.

Gu Beining warned Chen Bao not to touch these things again, and took him into the house.

There is a smell of food in the air, it should be the steamed buns of the old lady in the back kitchen.

Chen Bao sucked hard, and his stomach made a "gurgling" sound.He rubbed his stomach and said to Gu Beining, "Ningning, I'm hungry."

It was past four o'clock in the afternoon, so he should be hungry.

Gu Beining regretted that when Fu Zhihan went to get things just now, she didn't let him bring the mountaineering bag with snacks directly, thinking about waiting for Fu Zhihan to come over, let him take care of Chen Bao, and she went to the car to get things by herself come over.

Before finishing this thought, Chen Bao ran to the back kitchen: "Mother-in-law, are your buns ready?"

Gu Beining hurriedly followed.

The old woman was busy working in front of the stove, and when she saw Chen Bao coming, she smiled at him: "Yes, it's ready, do you want one?"

Chen Bao's eyes glowed, but because he remembered that Gu Beining had taught him not to eat what strangers gave him, the little guy didn't dare to agree easily, so he could only look at Gu Beining eagerly.

"No need, we brought our own food." Gu Beining declined with a smile.

Chen Bao was a little disappointed, but he obediently did not refute, but just stared at the tall stove without blinking.

This is a double-pot stove, and a small steamer is built on the side of the stove, which is steaming and constantly emitting white mist and tempting food aroma.

On the table on the other side, there are still flour and minced meat that have not been put away in time, which should be the raw materials for the old lady to make steamed buns.

"When Uncle Fu comes over, Mommy will go get you something to eat." After Gu Beining comforted her son, she found that the phone was ringing, and went to answer the call.

Chen Bao couldn't help but took another step towards the stove.

He is so hungry and wants to eat.

The old lady opened the steamer, took out a steamed stuffed bun, put it on a clean lotus leaf, and handed it to Chen Bao with a smile: "Eat it."

"Thank you, mother-in-law!" Chen Bao took it happily, and just took a bite.
