Chapter 157. Initial Outline
On hot nights, Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, Mom, along with the brothers, directly pulled out fabric tents and slept in the courtyard.
Fortunately, there was a father skilled in carpentry at home, lacking many things but not wood; simple wooden beds were not scarce.
Adopting the principle of sharing both blessings and difficulties, she spent a night with her family, only lasting that one night before retreating to her space the following evening to sleep.
It was too hot; that night she almost felt like she hadn’t closed her eyes at all.
Chatting with Grandma Lin, the dream she thought she’d long forgotten inexplicably resurfaced vividly, especially the scene of desiccated rivers, cracked earth, and desolate lands, evidencing a brutal disaster.
Suddenly looking up at the fiery red sun in the sky, she quickly closed her eyes, overwhelmed by a strange unease.
"What’s the matter?" The old lady Hua, while chatting with Lin’s wife, noticed her granddaughter’s emotional fluctuation and looked at her curiously.
"It’s nothing, just feeling hot," Hua Jin shook her head, sweat dripping down her face as she shook, her face flushed from the heat, making old lady Hua’s heart ache with concern.
Immediately saying, "Silly girl, it’s hot, and you don’t know to go back. There’s water in the courtyard, hurry up and wash it."
"Yes, yes, yes, a bath will feel much better," chimed in Lin’s wife, looking at Hua Jin’s flushed red face with concern as well.
