Back to the 80s: Raising my Wolfy Boyfriend-Chapter 167: Will Heaven Give Us a Chance?

Gu Jin served the little one a bowl of rice and another bowl of soup, placing them in front of him, then quietly began to eat.

Today’s dining table was so quiet that it felt somewhat heavy.

Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin could also tell that their grandfather and parents didn’t look pleased, so they quickly and "quietly" ate the delicious-looking meal.

Usually, they would be chattering away, but they knew to keep quiet under such unusual circumstances today.

When Chen Hong first arrived in the kitchen and saw the table full of delicious dishes, she silently swallowed her saliva.

Even when faced with tasty food, she didn’t forget to first look around the kitchen for the potatoes, beans, and cucumbers she had exchanged for this morning.

Upon finding that there were still some left, her expression improved slightly.

After discovering a full bag of rice and flour in the kitchen, she showed a happy look on her face.

Unfortunately, this joy didn’t last long. Hearing the heavy rain outside, she silently sat at the dining table, eating the delicious food with a heavy heart.

It wasn’t just her; even the old man and Gu Decang were also in low spirits.

The meal was eaten in silence. The old man placed his empty bowl on the table and put down his chopsticks.

He let out a deep sigh, glanced at his eldest son and daughter-in-law, and advised, "Alright, you don’t need to worry so much. The ruined crops are not just ours alone."

Chen Hong lifted her eyes to glance at the old man, said nothing, and continued to pick at the rice in her bowl.

Gu Decang nodded to the old man.

Indeed, the heavy rain had ruined crops throughout the entire village, and thinking about how it wasn’t just their family put them slightly at ease.

Seeing his still-frowning wife, he spoke to reassure her, "Once the rain stops, I’ll go to the fields and see if we can salvage some. Our fields don’t flood, so we’re certainly better off than others."

With those words, Chen Hong’s expression improved quite a bit.

Relieved, the two started eating large mouthfuls of food.

And indeed, with their improved mood, even the meat in their mouths tasted irresistibly delicious.

Scanning the expressions on everyone’s faces at the dining table, Gu Jin didn’t show anything on his face, but felt helpless inside.

Salvage?

That also depends on whether nature grants us the opportunity.

A few more days passed, with no sign of the rain letting up,

The Gu family’s hopeful faces changed, even Gu Jiajie and Gu Minmin were looking serious.

They all came from farming backgrounds and knew very well how important the crops in the fields were.

That was the family’s future food supply.

The old man smoked more frequently than before, and his already stern features looked even more grave.

As for Gu Decang and Chen Hong, their faces looked worse than ever.

In the Gu Family, the only ones who seemed relatively calm were Gu Jin and the little one.

A few more days passed.

The rain finally lessened, and Gu Decang couldn’t wait to don a raincoat and head to the fields.

He wasn’t the only one heading out; every household’s men stepped out and rushed to the fields as soon as they could.

Watching his uncle leave, a flash of reluctance crossed Gu Jin’s eyes.

With nearly half a month of rain, the crops in the fields were certainly doomed.

On the fields of Qingshan Village, cries of anguish echoed everywhere.

Most of the crops were submerged by the rain, wheat, corn, and even the newly planted cotton were all flooded.

Those relying on the land’s harvest for their livelihood couldn’t help but kneel at the edge of the field wailing. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The village head and his son stood before their plot, their faces filled with heartache at the ruined crops.

Seeing the rain intensify, he urged everyone to head home first.

"Let’s all go home first, the rain is getting heavier, and landslides could become dangerous!"

Hearing this, most people returned home.
