She Lives Well with the Shopping App in the 80s-Chapter 87 My Brother and I Won’t Quarrel Over You

"I made noodles, and there was some leftover rabbit meat from yesterday..."

He didn’t go to the main house to eat, but instead had his meal in the room.

"I see the rain outside isn’t likely to stop anytime soon, so after you eat, just read a book and don’t go outside."

Not go outside?

What could she do?

She surely couldn’t venture out in the rain, could she?

That wouldn’t be suitable.

The family gathered together for breakfast, watching the relentless rain pouring down outside.

"Yesterday it rained without any thunder, but there was lightning."

Lightning?

In the 21st century, most buildings were equipped with lightning protection; lightning storms weren’t as frequent as they were in his childhood.

"I’m going out for a bit." Zhao Tianlei left the house wearing a raincoat and a hat.

Because Xiao Bao’s room next door was leaking and their bedding was wet, they could only stay in her room until it dried.

"Mom, you read your book, we won’t talk."

"Right, Mom, my brother and I won’t disturb you."

As soon as Zhao Tianlei left, Yun Xiaoxiao immediately took out some snacks from the cupboard.

"Don’t worry, Mom can spare this bit of time for review. Come on, have something to eat."

The two kids didn’t hesitate, and Xiaoxiao even made them some powdered milk.

She had just managed to put on a little weight and needed to maintain it. Besides, since the milk powder was brought by Tianlei, she could occasionally add a little without them noticing.

Xiaoxiao never imagined that she would do such a thing one day.

But looking at the two little "buns," she felt a bittersweet contentment. They weren’t as naughty as other children, they were quite well-behaved, and moreover, they were diligent. They had helped her with litting fire, washing dishes, sweeping the yard, and wiping tables, doing whatever they could.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tianlei, wearing a raincoat, arrived at the riverbank and saw the murky rise of the river; it had raised quite a bit overnight.

"Third Brother, you’re here too?" Cao Dali, also clad in a raincoat, had stepped out to see if there were any fish in the river since it was not too cold yet.

Even barefoot, it was nothing to him.

"Luckily, my dad repaired some of the roofs after the autumn harvest, or else my house would definitely be leaking. Third Brother, your house isn’t leaking, is it?"

Because the Zhao Family Village Team was backed by a mountain, it was relatively poor, and many of its members’ homes were made of adobe with roofs not tiled but thatched with straw. The elders, having lived for many years, knew about the rainy season and had climbed onto their roofs to repair them beforehand.

If a member was lazy and encountered heavy rain like this, there was nothing they could do but watch helplessly as it poured outside and drizzled inside.

"It’s leaking."

It was because of the leak that he could share a bed with his wife again, so he listened to her and didn’t rush out in the heavy rain to fix the roof, even though they had two children. Even so, being in the same room with his wife pleased him greatly.

He wanted his wife to get used to him.

It’s leaking?

"Do you need help?"

Cao Dali thought of Tianlei’s still healing wound, knowing that climbing the roof was physically demanding and he could offer his assistance.

"No need, just come and help with this..."

Many men from the Village Team braved the heavy rain to catch fish at the riverbank, regardless of the severity of the rain. Having been born and raised here, close to the river, they had learned to swim from a young age.

At the Zhao Family Mansion, cooking duties were rotated among the divided families. However, with such heavy rain, there were places in the house where it leaked.

"Laosan hurried out this time; I think his tiles haven’t been replaced yet. I wonder if their place is leaking?"
