Rebirth in the 80's: The Daily Life of the Villain's Mom-Chapter 273: The Letter Uncle Chen Wrote to You

In a small county town like this, bicycles are actually quite useful.

The town isn’t big, so with a bicycle, you can reach any place you want to go without much time.

But that’s only when the weather is good.

When the weather turns bad, like today’s rainy day, bicycles aren’t as convenient.

Even with a raincoat, your face stays wet, and your trouser legs get splashed.

So Jiang Ran chose to walk instead of riding a bicycle.

The rain was light, and walking slowly with an umbrella kept you dry and didn’t take too much time.

Jiang Ran closed the little wardrobe door, holding the umbrella, ready to leave, and looked up to see Pei Huai standing not far away.

Pei Huai stood there with an umbrella, holding a flashlight in his hand.

But the flashlight wasn’t aimed at Jiang Ran; it was directed to the side.

This way, when Jiang Ran looked over, her eyes weren’t blinded by the flashlight, and she could clearly see the person standing there was Pei Huai.

Jiang Ran raised her eyebrows before walking forward.

"Why are you here?"

She had said before she came in the morning that she didn’t need a pickup; the distance was short, and she could walk back by herself.

Pei Huai’s expression didn’t change, and he replied in a flat voice, "Couldn’t sleep, came out for a walk, and happened to pick you up."

Jiang Ran, "..."

I don’t believe you.

Though she didn’t believe him at all, Jiang Ran didn’t expose him.

At this time, the best way to handle it is to see through it but not speak it out.

Jiang Ran nodded, "Since that’s the case, let’s go back."

The autumn rain was continuous, making it somewhat cold during the day.

By evening, as the temperature dropped, it was even colder.

A gust of wind blew by, carrying fine rain, hitting the face and hands, even sneaking into one’s neck.

Jiang Ran shivered and quickened her pace.

Pei Huai held an umbrella in one hand and the flashlight in the other, lighting up the path under Jiang Ran’s feet, witnessing her shivering.

Though he saw it, Pei Huai didn’t step forward or take off his clothes to give to Jiang Ran.

He knew Jiang Ran definitely wouldn’t accept it.

Rather than getting stuck later, it was better to walk faster and get home earlier.

The two walked one after the other, with neither speaking.

The time wasn’t actually very late, only a bit past seven.

But because it got dark early, coupled with the rain, it felt darker and seemed like it was very late, with almost no pedestrians outside.

After walking for over ten minutes, they reached the door of the small courtyard.

The few girls making snacks had already gotten off work and headed home, making the courtyard very quiet.

It wasn’t until they reached the main room door that Jiang Ran heard the voices of Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing.

Pei Jing’s voice was soft and Pei Shanshan’s voice was crisp, talking back and forth, accompanied by the rustling rain outside, always giving off a warm feeling.

Jiang Ran put away the umbrella, placed it against the wall, and stepped into the main room.

The room was lit, and as Jiang Ran entered, Pei Shanshan and Pei Jing looked over simultaneously.

Both of their eyes were round, bright and dark, looking at Jiang Ran as if there was a sparkle in their eyes.

"Sister-in-law!"

"Mom!"

Jiang Ran responded with a smile, heading over to sit on the sofa.

Before Jiang Ran could say anything else, Pei Jing had already taken a letter from the sofa and walked over to her.

"Mom, Uncle Chen wrote you a letter."

Don’t underestimate a child’s memory, they remember clearly those who appear frequently around them.
