With Pinxixi in hand, I have a supermarket in the Changzheng!

The villagers' eyes were firm, and their enthusiasm warmed the soldiers' hearts.

This kindness was really hard to refuse, and Chief Liu finally nodded in agreement.

"Okay! Then let's temporarily go into the villagers' homes to take shelter from the rain!"

After Commander Liu issued the order, the soldiers went into the homes of the villagers one after another to take shelter from the rain.

Although the scale of this village is relatively large and it took Zhou Yue to build it, the team still has more than 10 people.

Because so many people wanted to take shelter from the rain, almost every room in the villagers' homes was packed with people.

There was no place to sleep, so everyone could only sit on the ground and take a nap.

But the soldiers were already very satisfied, because there was no place to shelter from the rain now.

The torrential rain would soak them all, making it impossible for them to keep warm.

There is almost no dry place outside, and sitting and resting is a luxury.

Zhou Yue learned through the system that the Red Army often encountered rain during the Long March.

The soldiers had no umbrellas, only some heavy and not very rainproof raincoats.

After being drenched by the rain and having no dry firewood to keep warm, they could only snuggle together to prevent their body temperature from losing too quickly.

The ground was all wet, there was no place to shelter from the cold and rain, and the soldiers always prayed that it would not rain.

Zhou Yue and a dozen or so soldiers in the camp squeezed into a room.

The owner of the house was a simple lady who boiled a big pot of ginger sugar water and served it to everyone.

"Come on! Let's have some ginger and sugar water!"

All the soldiers shook their heads in unison, refusing to drink the old lady's food for free.

"Auntie, we came in to take shelter from the rain. It's already embarrassing. How can we drink your food?"

"That's right. We in the Red Army have discipline and we won't take even a single needle or thread from the masses."

Zhou Yue asked the NPC to prepare this ginger and sugar water. Everyone was just caught in the rain, so they need to drink some ginger and sugar water to ward off the cold.

Zhou Yue looked at the soldiers who were determined and unwilling to take any benefits for free.

I felt a little helpless. The Red Army soldiers were so upright and adorable.

So she took out some of the yogurt lumps and dried mulberries she had brought with her.

"Auntie, can't we drink your stuff for free and exchange these with you?"

The old lady did not refuse and took it with a smile.

"Okay, okay! Let's switch. Drink the ginger sugar water while it's hot!"

When the soldiers saw that Zhou Yue had taken out something to exchange, they all took the ginger and sugar water.

After all, we are exchanging with fellow villagers now, so it is not like we are taking their things for free.

"Ah! This ginger syrup is so sweet!"

"This lady is a good person! She is really willing to put sugar in it!"

Everyone picked up the ginger sugar water and took a sip. The sweet taste was sweet to the heart.

At night, Zhou Yue sat on the ground with his back against the wall and fell into a deep sleep.

After waking up, Zhou Yue discovered that the rain was really going to fall.

The sky was already slightly bright, but the rain outside had not stopped. The raindrops hit the roof, making a continuous sound of ding-dong-dong.

The soldiers in the house woke up one after another, and seeing that it was still raining, they couldn't help complaining.

"Why has the rain been falling for so long?"

"It's raining, how can we travel? We'll get soaked again!"

"It's rainy this year. I think it will rain again in the next month!"

After the soldiers woke up, they prepared to help the old lady with her work.

The Red Army soldiers also lived in the homes of villagers before.

Living in the homes of their fellow villagers, the Red Army soldiers were particularly diligent and would help fetch water, chop firewood, and do a lot of other work.

"Auntie, what are you doing? Do you need our help?"

The old lady from yesterday and her daughters were sitting in the house mending things.

Zhou Yue and several soldiers walked into the house and asked if they needed help.

The old lady didn't refuse, she pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, then you can help me cut the cloth with scissors."

Although most of these soldiers were men, they were very careful and dexterous and began to cut the cloth according to the old lady's instructions.

The soldiers touched the fabric and felt that it was somewhat different from what they saw on the market.

The color of this fabric is not outstanding, it is just some black and khaki, and the color is dull.

But the fabric doesn't feel like cotton or linen.

One soldier couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, where did you buy this cloth? It feels pretty good."

The old lady pointed to a loom in the corner and said, "We made all these cloths ourselves. All the women in our village know how to weave."

When the soldiers heard this, they were surprised and praised him one after another.

"Auntie, your cooking skills are really good!"

"That's right! I think it's better than the cloth made in a textile factory!"

The needle and thread flew up and down in the old lady's hands. "People in our village have learned to weave since they were young, so of course their skills are not bad."

A soldier sitting next to the old lady asked curiously.

"Auntie, are you going to make clothes now?"

The old lady shook her head slightly, took out a finished product from the side and handed it to the soldier.

"We made some raincoats, what do you think?"

The soldier took the raincoat in his hands and looked at it carefully.

He had only seen a straw raincoat before, but had never seen a raincoat.

This raincoat has a wide hat on the top, and its general shape is similar to that of a straw raincoat, like a big cloak.

“It looks nice, but will it protect against rain?”

The soldier's worries are not unreasonable. Even a thick raincoat will still get wet after a heavy rain.

Will this raincoat made of cloth get soaked after just a while of rain?

The old lady shook her head with a confident expression on her face, "Put on this raincoat and go outside to see what it's like!"

"Hey, good!"

This raincoat is easy to wear, just put it on.

After putting on his raincoat, the soldier came outside into the rain, stood in the rain and started to get wet.

The soldiers around were also very curious about the effectiveness of this raincoat.

They all stood at the door of the house, waiting quietly for five or six minutes.

The soldier standing in the rain came back with a look of surprise on his face.

Before I could even take off my raincoat, I couldn’t help but share my wearing experience with my comrades.

"This raincoat is amazing! Look! My clothes underneath are not wet at all!"

The soldiers touched his uniform with their hands and showed disbelief on their faces.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"If I could wear this while marching, I wouldn't have to worry about getting wet!"

"Your craftsmanship is really good! This is much better than a straw raincoat!"

The soldiers were so impressed by the old lady's craftsmanship that they kept praising her.

The old lady waved her hands a little embarrassedly, "It's nothing, everyone in our village can make it. The fabric we make is not good-looking, but it is very waterproof."

The news that the old lady was making raincoats quickly spread in the military camp, and this important news was reported to Commander Liu.

At this moment, Chief Liu was stroking the raincoat in his hand, with the corners of his mouth raised, a smile from the heart.

Heavy rains occur frequently in the summer, which is what he is worried about recently.

After all, the soldiers are not an iron wall. They are often wet by the rain and always get fever and fall ill.

Seeing the soldiers weak due to the cold, he felt extremely anxious.

The Minister of Ordnance, Chen Gang, was also nearby at this time, and his eyes were shining as he looked at the raincoat.

Chen Gang said to Chief Liu with a smile.

"Commander, I have a suggestion. Do you think it's feasible?"
