Chapter 211: Almost Got Heat Stroke
Chapter 211: Almost Got Heat Stroke
Su Rongrong didn't expect that he would actually consider these things, and immediately reached out and patted his shoulder.
"Okay, these are not something you should worry about now.
Just pretend that this money doesn't exist. Keep things the same as they were before.
No one knows how far you can go.
Even if you pass the imperial examination, you may not be able to stay in the capital to work."
Su Rongrong paused for a moment before continuing:
"Manman is not stupid. You are not working in the capital, so how could she spend so much money to buy a house and land?
Okay, now you just need to concentrate on your studies and prepare for the upcoming college entrance examination. I have to pack up and go back.
It’s so hot today, I guess I’ll rest during the day and travel at night.
No, I'd better go to the car dealership and ask first!"
After saying this, Su Rongrong hurried away holding a parasol made of oilcloth.
Looking at the figure going away, Su Jinhong's eyes showed some helplessness, but more of it was touching.
He is not more than two years younger than his eldest sister, but she protects him under her wings and all he needs to do is concentrate on his studies.
If his parents were still alive, he wouldn't say anything.
But his parents are gone, and as the eldest son, he should support the family.
But now it's completely the opposite. He is protected by his elder sister and younger sister.
This made him feel a little ashamed. In order not to disappoint their expectations, he could only study hard and strive to pass the exam as soon as possible.
Just as Su Rongrong expected, due to the hot weather, the carriage company had to travel only at night.
Even so, the horse does not run non-stop all night.
Instead, after running for an hour and a half, they had to stop to rest and feed the horse for half an hour before continuing on their way.
Under such circumstances, by the time Su Rongrong returned to Lanxia County, it was already April 28th.
The sun was already rising when she entered the city.
Since she didn't know where the new house was, Su Rongrong went directly to her aunt's house.
Qi Jianing has been living in the basement since around April 20th.
It was too hot during the day and she couldn't stay in the house.
The ice cubes bought by wealthy families are not only expensive, but also useless.
Take out such a big piece of ice and it melts into water in no time.
She had no choice but to live in the basement with Qi Xiaohui and her two sons.
Fortunately, the entrance to the basement is in the main room.
Opening the inlet and outlet covers during the day will not affect air circulation.
Plus I bought some ice cubes, and for a moment the basement felt much more comfortable than upstairs.
When Su Rongrong knocked on the door, Qi Xiaohui and Qi Jianing, who were wrapping rice dumplings in the basement, didn't hear the sound.
As the sun became hotter and hotter, the two of them reacted slowly after Su Rongrong left the door helplessly.
"Aunt, was there someone knocking on my door just now?"
Qi Xiaohui is old and her hearing is not so good, so she didn't hear it at all.
It's useless to ask.
Just then, Qi Xiaohui shook her head and said, "No! You must have heard it wrong, Ning Jie'er.
It's so hot, and it's daytime. The sun is so bright outside, who would come to visit me?"
Qi Jianing thought about it and felt that it was true, but she quickly came to her senses.
Others might not, but what about Sister Rong?
Sister Rong is so filial. If she comes back and doesn’t go home, it is not impossible that she will come to see me first!
Thinking of this, she hurried out.
Unfortunately, when she reached the door, she saw a woman walking away with a green oilcloth umbrella.
She wanted to chase after him, but because the sun was too scorching, she retreated.
"Rongrong, Sister Rong——"
Helpless, she could only shout loudly.
Unfortunately, the distance was a bit far, and her voice was not loud, so the people far away couldn't hear it at all.
She thought that she would go to her eldest sister's house after the sun went down.
I think if it was Rongrong, she would be there by then!
Wei hasn't seen Su Rongrong for some time.
When I saw her again, her face was red from the sun and she looked like she had been fished out of the water.
Seeing this, she reached out and pulled the person into her inner room, then reached out and picked up a piece of crushed ice from the ice basin, wrapped it directly in a handkerchief, and rolled it on her face.
Not only that, he also instructed the kitchen to quickly send over a bowl of iced white fungus and lotus seed soup.
Su Rongrong never dreamed that the short distance from her aunt's house to the back government office would almost give her heat stroke.
Her mind was in a daze at this moment, and she only came to her senses after the ice in Wei's hand melted.
"Thank you, Wei Bo Niang!"
"Silly girl, why are you thanking me? If there is anything to say, it should be your aunt who is telling you."
Wei thought of what her son said, that the water tower was where Rongrong saved an overseas businessman in Lucheng.
Later, in order to repay her, the other party sold it to her at a low price.
The reason why their family was able to get half of the money was because of Rongrong.
Thinking of the water tanks filled with water in the basement, she felt relieved.
Even the way he looked at Su Rongrong was exceptionally kind.
In her opinion, this girl is not only A Zheng's benefactor, but also a member of their family.
However, given her identity, it’s enough for her to just know some things in her heart and there’s no need for her to talk about them all the time.
Seeing that Su Rongrong had recovered, she changed to using a palm-leaf fan to fan her.
"Do you feel better?"
Su Rongrong had recovered and quickly replied, "Much better, thank you, Auntie.
By the way, aunt, I just came back and knocked on my aunt’s door, but no one opened it.
Also, my family, is my mother in Sujia Village now, or somewhere else?"
Wei thought about the current situation in the city and said:
“It’s too hot now. Ten days ago, your uncle Baili issued an order for everyone to stay at home during the day and travel at night.
Then five days ago, another order was issued, asking everyone to pay attention to fire prevention and live in the basement.
So, your aunt was probably in the basement and didn't hear it.
As for your mother, she is in the city.
The Dragon Boat Festival is just a few days away, and Manman, Qiaoqiao and the others are all in the city to accompany her.
It's hot outside now, you should stay here and rest.
When the sun sets and it gets cooler, I'll let Xiangyang take you there."
Upon hearing this, Su Rongrong quickly stood up and thanked him.
Wei rarely saw her, so she took her hand and said, "Originally, I wanted to move back to the house in Sujia Village.
But your family won't go back because you left your mother, and I don't know anyone here, so I decided to give up after thinking about it.
Rongrong, I heard from the people down there that the green round thing you planted seems to be ripe.
What's your idea now?
Since coming back, A Zheng has been so busy that he is nowhere to be seen all day long. I don’t know what he is doing.
If he hadn’t told those people that the crops were about to ripen, I wouldn’t have known.”
When Su Rongrong heard that the watermelon was about to ripen, she said:
"Mrs. Wei, I have discussed with Brother Zheng that these watermelons will be sold by your family.
Now that we calculate the time, it is almost time.”
