◎Perfunctory◎

The members of the faraway brigade were awakened one after another.

Gu Guanning covered her heart, which was pulsing suddenly. She went to Chai Ruiyun's side and hugged him.

"Was it thunder?"

she asked in a daze.

Chai Ruiyun rubbed her back to comfort her, "It doesn't sound like it."

Zhao Hongying put on her clothes and went to the door to see. There was a bright moon hanging high outside, stars twinkling, and the moonlight illuminated the small courtyard brightly.

There was no sign of rain at all.

Just as he was about to turn his head to say something, another loud sound came.

The sound seemed far away. It wasn't thunder, and it didn't seem to come from our own team.

Gu Guanning hugged Chai Ruiyun tighter.

"What's going on?" Zhao Hongying held on to the door frame.

This noise was quite big, and there were several more such noises next.

Cheng Changshun quickly summoned the militiamen to investigate the situation, and pointed at the harvest brigade next door.

Cheng Yanzhou was worried about Gu Wanning, so he hurried to the door of the Lin family's courtyard, "Wan Ning!"

Hearing the sound, Gu Wanning put on his coat and went out, throwing himself on Cheng Yanzhou, "Do you know the reason?"

What else could it be if it wasn't thunder?

Cheng Yanzhou had a guess in his mind, so he returned to Cheng's house with Gu Guanning in his arms, "I'll stay in the second sister's room tonight."

The bedding was all ready-made, and it was just a different place to sleep. Gu Guanning went into the house and went to bed, and skillfully opened the window.

Cheng Changhe came back from outside and swung his flashlight over here, "Guanning, please stay at our house tonight. It seems like something happened again outside. I'll tell the third son's mother when I come back, and I have to go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting."

Every time something big happens, the few talkative elders in the team start working, often holding meetings in the middle of the night until the early morning of the next day.

Older people can't stand that.

Cheng Yanzhou was thinking that he would have to make ginseng chicken soup tomorrow.

Of course, you can't eat ginseng every day. It's good to make ginseng porridge or ginseng chicken soup every eight or nine days and half a month. Besides, if the deficiency is not replenished, eating too much will be harmful to the body.

When I woke up the next day, there was no Cheng Changhe at the dinner table, and he was obviously still having a meeting at the brigade headquarters.

There were classes in the morning, and after dinner, Gu Guanning went to the small team.

Cheng Yanzhou watched her enter the school before turning around. There were no classes this afternoon, and it was time to drink medicine. She also had to drink a bowl of ginseng chicken soup.

Take out the medicine jar, put the medicine bag and water in it, put it on the stove and simmer over low heat.

Halfway through the meeting, Cheng Changhe came back from the meeting, sighing and shaking his head in pain.
