The years pass slowly, time passes quietly, and there seems to be a different breath in the wind!

After returning to the Youth League Home after work that day, Shen Xiaoxia looked at the originally clear blue sky, which was gradually eroded by the wantonly spreading dark clouds!

The air also became extremely hot and humid. With every breath, I could feel the hot and humid air drilling into my nostrils, making my chest feel stuffy and uncomfortable.

After finishing the chores at hand, she looked at Han Zhuxin, who was sitting at the door picking vegetables, and asked her, "Is it going to rain soon?"

There is a little anticipation for the coming rain hidden in the voice!

Han Zhuxin stopped what he was doing and looked up at the sky. "It looks a bit like it, but I don't know if it can come down!"

Shen Xiaoxia squatted down gently, reached out and picked up a handful of vegetables, and began to help Han Zhuxin pick them. "The autumn harvest will probably start in a few days. I remember it seemed like we started harvesting around this time last year!"

Han Zhuxin paused slightly after hearing this and couldn't help but sigh, "Indeed, it should be in the next few days. I really don't want to harvest in autumn. It's too tiring!"

Shen Xiaoxia also sighed and echoed, "You're not the only one who thinks this way! I don't want to harvest autumn either!"

Then, as if to comfort himself and Han Zhuxin, he said, "But think about it from another perspective. After the autumn harvest, we can rest. If you think about it this way, don't you think you can hold on?"

Han Zhuxin glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, as if thinking of something interesting. The corners of her mouth raised in a playful arc, and she said with a smile, "Isn't this like hanging an apple in front of a donkey while it's turning a millstone?"

Following Han Zhuxin's description, Shen Xiaoxia imagined the scene and laughed, "You know what, there really are some similarities!"

Suddenly, a loud thunder exploded in the distant sky. Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin were sitting under the eaves and talking, and were startled by the sudden thunder!

The rain began to fall, at first it was just a few sparse drops, "tick-tick, tick-tick" hitting the bluestone road of the Youth League Courtyard, splashing tiny water droplets, and the sound was particularly crisp in the silence!

After a while, the rain gradually became heavier, and bean-sized raindrops poured down from the sky impatiently, like beads that had broken off the string, hitting the ground in a disorderly manner!

The rain fell into the yard, and the ground was soon filled with countless small puddles.

When raindrops fall and hit the puddles, small and delicate water splashes will appear, rippling outward in circles!

You bloom and I'll take the stage!

In the water tank in the corner of the yard, the calm water surface was broken, and the sound of "dong dong dong" was endless. The water surface that originally reflected the sky and the eaves was now shattered by the dense raindrops. The water splashed onto the edge of the tank and then slid down the wall of the tank!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at the roofs around her. The raindrops hit the tiles hard, and each drop was crisp and loud!

The fine layers of water splashing on the tiles, reflected in the twilight, seemed to have covered the roof with a layer of gauze.

Under the eaves of the Youth League Home, rain poured down the gutters, forming curtains of water, like a curtain made of pearls!

Occasionally a gust of wind blew, blowing the water curtain to one side, and the splashing water wet the nearby corridor edge.

Shen Xiaoxia stretched out her hand under the eaves, caught the cool raindrops, and felt the rain dancing in her palm.

Han Zhuxin looked at Shen Xiaoxia's movements and sighed, "This rain is really heavy. I don't know when it will stop. If it continues to rain tomorrow, can we take a day off?"

Shen Xiaoxia slowly withdrew her hand, and the raindrops slid down her fingertips. She shook them off and said, "Look at the rain, it doesn't seem to last long!"

Han Zhuxin spoke with a hint of anticipation in her voice, "I hope it can rain until tomorrow, at least until noon. That way, even if I have to work in the afternoon, I can sleep in in the morning!"

Shen Xiaoxia also wanted to sleep. She looked at the sky again and said, "I hope it will be like you said!"

After a moment, Shen Xiaoxia shifted her gaze from the sky to Han Zhuxin and asked, "Are you just having vegetables for dinner? Nothing else?"

Han Zhuxin was concentrating on shaking the mud off the vegetables. Upon hearing this, she said, "I'm going to cook some noodles for dinner. I plan to fry an egg and add some vegetables. That's pretty much it. I don't need anything else!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded thoughtfully. She didn't know what to eat in the evening.

It’s so depressing when there’s nothing to eat!

It's really frustrating that she has so many choices!

The rain did not continue until tomorrow as the two had hoped. Not long after dinner, the rain gradually subsided.

At that time, Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling both brought stools and palm-leaf fans and sat at Shen Xiaoxia's door to enjoy the cool air and chat.

He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng, Hu Shixuan, Zhao Fan and others also gathered under the eaves of He Tingyuan and Xie Yunheng to chat.

Watching the rain gradually subside, Zhao Lingling looked up at the sky, muttering, "Is the rain going to stop soon?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Xiaoxia also followed Zhao Lingling's example and stretched her head to take a look, "I think it's about the same!"

Han Zhuxin felt a little regretful and sighed, "Then I can't avoid being lazy tomorrow!"

Shen Xiaoxia patted her shoulder and comforted her with a suppressed smile, "Hold on a little longer, and you'll have a long vacation soon!"

Han Zhuxin glared at Shen Xiaoxia. "Your 'soon' is still about two months away. And when I think about the upcoming autumn harvest, I can't wait to go back home and sleep tonight. When I open my eyes tomorrow, the autumn harvest will be over!"

Zhao Lingling felt the same way and sighed, "I also hope that the autumn harvest will be over in the blink of an eye. Every autumn harvest takes a layer of skin off me and I lose several pounds of weight!"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin both laughed at this. Zhao Lingling is usually a bit voluptuous.

But every year when she is particularly busy with spring planting or autumn harvest, she loses weight very obviously!

Shen Xiaoxia remembered that after the autumn harvest last year, Zhao Lingling's weight was almost the same as hers, and her cheeks, which originally had a little baby fat and chubby, had shrunk a lot!

The intensity of the autumn harvest is indeed very high. The hardships of last year's harvest are still vivid in my mind. Shen Xiaoxia asked, "Before the autumn harvest, the team leader should give us a day or two of vacation, right?"

Han Zhuxin said, "I think so. I was thinking of going to the county town to buy some food! The intensity is too high. If I don't eat something good, I won't be able to bear it! Did we have a holiday last year?"

Shen Xiaoxia tilted her head, thought about it seriously, and then shook her head, "I don't quite remember!"

She looked at Zhao Lingling and asked her, "Lingling, do you still remember?"

Zhao Lingling thought for a moment and then said, "I think so. I remember my brother even went to the county town to buy a lot of things, saying that we should have some nourishment for the autumn harvest!"

He also said, "It's not the day before the autumn harvest, it seems to be two or three days in advance!"

Shen Xiaoxia and Han Zhuxin didn't quite remember, but it didn't matter. The three of them didn't dwell on this issue anymore. Shen Xiaoxia said, "Forget it, let's not dwell on this. If it really doesn't work out, we can take turns asking for leave!"

Han Zhuxin and Zhao Lingling both nodded. They both wanted to go to the county town to buy some food to replenish themselves during the autumn harvest!
