I Got Rich in Period Fiction-Chapter 391: All Thunder and No Rain

"He should get up now, Rongrong still needs to go to school."

"Rongrong will surely come to see her little aunt before going to school."

He Xiuyu lifted the quilt to take a glance inside and felt his mouth dry.

With eyes closed, he hugged Qiao Qingyu closer, thinking, "Two more minutes, I’ll lie down for two more minutes and then get up," but he hadn’t thought that suddenly the outside brightened up instantly. The dim sky seemed to light up in an instant.

He Xiuyu’s pupils constricted, and he immediately placed his hand over Qiao Qingyu’s ear, the next moment deafening thunder rang out across the sky. It seemed like the earth also trembled a few times.

Even though her ears were covered, Qiao Qingyu suddenly opened her eyes, looked outside in surprise and thought, Is it going to rain after the thunder?

The two exchanged glances and quickly thought of He Xuerong. The couple hurried to get dressed.

He Xiuyu was incredibly fast, he spoke in a low voice, "I’ll check on Rongrong, you can lie down a bit longer."

Qiao Qingyu still put on her nightgown.

He Xiuyu went downstairs and soon, Qiao Qingyu heard Rongrong’s impatient voice, "I want to sleep five more minutes, I’m not scared of the thunder, don’t disturb me..."

Qiao Qingyu smiled, they had both forgotten, this little girl was unlike other young girls, she wasn’t scared of thunder at all.

This was during the time she was incredibly sleepy; if it were daytime, she would definitely be excitedly looking outside.

He Xiuyu smirked a bit and looked at the alarm clock, indeed, they could sleep a bit more, then He Xuerong sank back into dreams, while outside, the lightning and thunder enhanced each other, He Xiuyu remembered the shoes outside on the porch and ran out.

The tarp covering the floor was waterproof, and there were a few wooden blocks underneath. He Xiuyu checked everything then went back inside, but his eyebrows were furrowed because the weather forecast hadn’t mentioned it would rain.

He went back into the room and looked outside, but Qiao Qingyu said, "Could it be thunder without any rain?"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Qingyu had guessed right.

An hour later, the clouds dispersed, and not a single drop of rain had fallen.

Qiao Qingyu blinked her eyes, she murmured while looking at the sky, "Could this be someone undergoing a tribulation?"

He Xiuyu had never been exposed to fantasy literature like Qiao Qingyu had, neither had he read any novels of that genre, but it didn’t affect his understanding of the superficial meaning.

Still, he seriously explained, "This is because the water content in the clouds is too low, or perhaps we are on the edge of the rainfall area, which is why we hear the thunder but see no rain."

Qiao Qingyu lay giggling in the bed, laughing so hard that He Xiuyu had no choice but to stop her with a kiss.

Feeling pretty much kissed enough, Qiao Qingyu ungratefully pushed He Xiuyu to cook, and she went back to sleep, waking up when Rongrong had already finished her breakfast, standing with her backpack at the edge of the kang and said sweetly, "Little aunt, I’ll come home early this afternoon."

Qiao Qingyu gently looked at her, asking, "Rongrong, what do you want for lunch? Little aunt will cook it for you."

"French fries, egg bubble pancake, and I also want braised pork..." He Xuerong promptly listed the dishes.

"Okay, go to school, little aunt will make them for you."

The school was outside the family yard, not too far from here.

Rongrong had her backpack on her back, and in front also hung the unique panda backpack that her uncle Shengbao had given her.

She was showing off to the school with it.

Qiao Qingyu looked outside somewhat disappointedly, thinking how great it would be if there were a heavy rain, as this year’s crops desperately needed a good spring rain, she leisurely began getting dressed.

Hearing her moving about, He Xiuyu knew his wife had gotten up and took the rice porridge that was warming on the stove, placed the hot buns on a plate and brought them out to the living room table.

Qiao Qingyu asked, "Aren’t you going to work today?"

"I took a day off and will take you to school tomorrow morning."

Qiao Qingyu expressed her approval, as she didn’t want her man to be a workaholic. His health was very important; she wanted to have a long, lasting journey with him and definitely didn’t want him to die young.

After dinner, Qiao Qingyu closed the door and brought He Xiuyu into their Space Laboratory. The air quality was good there, which was beneficial for the body, and He Xiuyu was also prepared to find some things that could play a role in biotechnology.

Meanwhile, Qiao Qingyu was checking the seeds inside.

Before leaving, she left plenty of green belts and some scenic areas for her elder brother, as well as flower seeds suitable for growing in the north.

After the cement road was completed, it was time to work on the greening of both sides of the street.

North City had fertile, dark soil everywhere. Just sprinkling some seeds casually would result in the most beautiful flowers blooming.

If her elder brother didn’t go to Yun City, Qiao Qingyu planned to let him and his sister-in-law be responsible for the village’s greening and beautiful scenery.

As for how to plant, she didn’t need to say, Qiao Genbao knew it well in his heart. As long as he knew the living habits of these flower seeds, it was enough. Qiao Qingyu copied this information for him on two pieces of paper.

However, the mostly used items in Qiao Qingyu’s space laboratory were still crops and vegetables. Apart from the golden lotus, the other flowers weren’t much used.

This time, she indeed left quite a lot for her elder brother.

Then, she directly told her elder brother that the seeds came from a boss in Nangang City who had mailed them to her.

With just one sentence, she managed the source and route of the seeds.

These flowers were also ordinary ones; it didn’t matter how they were planted.

However, she still left ten seeds of Soothing Grass for her elder brother.

She specifically instructed him to keep the magical properties of this plant a secret from others.

As for the seeds taken to Yun City, Mr. Wu knew about their good effects and had built a greenhouse specially for them, allowing only close confidants and Qiao Zhicai to handle it, and also instructed Qiao Genbao not to talk about it.

Even Niu Guili was not clear about it.

Qiao Genbao was tight-lipped, so no one else knew.

Qiao Qingyu instructed her elder brother to send the sprouted Soothing Grass to their grandparents, and not to say much else, just to mention that it was from her and that nobody else should touch or give it away.

Granny Qiao would definitely listen and execute it without compromise.

The Soothing Grass was too miraculous, so, for now, it couldn’t be given out.

However, so far, she had only discovered that the Soothing Grass had such terrifying and magical effects.

The reason she didn’t give more was that it was something her elder brother couldn’t sell and shouldn’t sell. He and He Juanjuan were different.

For her elder brother, a stable life was the best.

He was not good at these things and it would easily bring him trouble.

After staying inside for more than an hour, the two came out of the space.

And by then, it was just after nine o’clock.

He Xiuyu brought in several stacks of flooring, wooden joists for laying the floor, and his toolbox, ready to start laying the floor in the study.

Qiao Qingyu curiously followed him around. She felt that her man truly was an all-around player; except for giving birth, it seemed that anything he wanted to understand, he could manage very clearly.

Indeed, this was not an exaggeration; there indeed were such people in the world.
