Wang Cuilian will not let her live or die.

"The clothes of the three of them will be washed in a while, why do you want to wet your hands!"

Wang Cuilian said.

Sun didn't have a point, and stood aside to talk.

Seeing this, Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother, if you are free, go to the village and see the fifth aunt and the two children!" ”

Sun nodded: "Okay, I'll go now." ”

In the backyard, Yang Ruoqing carried water and poured it into Wang Cuilian's basin and bucket first, and then herself.

Talking, laughing, and chatting while washing.

"What is Tang Lingzi doing?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Wang Cuilian said: "I went to the Maotang with his uncle early in the morning, and there were so many fish, I was really afraid that the fish pond would break, and the fish would be in trouble if they ran out." ”

Yang Ruoqing frowned.

This heavy rain is too much.

But looking at it like this, I'm afraid I have to go down.

What to do?

The ditch drainage works of this era were far less than those of modern times.

As soon as the floods came, the common people suffered.

If it doesn't work out, the house will collapse, and the grain in the field will not be harvested.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruoqing had a bad premonition.

"Auntie, when you go to your house, if you see Tang Lingzi, help me send him a message." Yang Ruoqing said.

"What's the message?" Wang Cuilian asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Let him come to my house quickly, I have something to look for him." ”

"Eh, okay!"

……

Wang Cuilian washed her clothes and went back.

After a while, Luo Fengtang came over.

"Tang Yanzi, what's wrong with Maotang?" Yang Ruoqing asked when she met.

Luo Fengtang frowned and said: "The water level is rising too fast, if this rain stops, it will be nothing." ”

"I'm afraid that if it rains again, the fish pond will overflow and the fish will run out!" He said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "What did your uncle say? ”

Luo Fengtang said: "My uncle said that it should be okay. ”

"Because this time last year, it was the same."

"It's been raining for a long time, and it's stopped later, and it's estimated that it will stop this year." He said.

Yang Ruoqing listened carefully.

This time last year, they were not at home, they were in the South.

They didn't come home together until the rain stopped, and I still remember that day, Sun was washing clothes by the pond.

When I saw her come back, I was so happy that I fell down.

The mud full of pants, when I came home, I couldn't find pants to change.

It was also because of the rain for several days, and the clothes were not dry, and there were no clothes to change.

"Tang Yanzi, I think this year's momentum is afraid that there will be a big flood."

Yang Ruoqing spoke again.

Luo Fengtang's brows furrowed.

"For as long as I can remember, we have had a small flood, but there are really no major floods, and the mountainside is not the water's edge." He said.

Yang Ruoqing shook her head: "If there was no before, it doesn't mean that there won't be in the future." ”

"That's it, Tang Yanzi, while it's not raining today, let's find out the big nets that went back to the Maotang net fish later."

"Put a stake on the edge of the pond and pull up the net."

In this way, even if the water level of the pond is rising, as long as it does not exceed the top of the net, it can still retain some of the big fish.

Small fish and shrimp naturally have to be missed.

But it's better than nothing, and prevention is better than prevention.

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's words, Luo Fengtang felt reasonable.

"Okay, just do as you say." He said.

The two of them should act immediately.

In addition to fishing nets, it is also planned to use straw and rattan, as well as some protective nets, to reinforce the area around the fish pond.

"Qing'er, my aunt told me earlier that you were looking for me for something, just for the fish pond?"

When rubbing the protective net, Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing hooked her lower lip.

"Of course it's more than that." She said.

"I'd like to get two boats, just in case."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, when the fishing net is finished, I will immediately go to prepare for the boat." ”

Soon, Yang Huazhong returned.

He wore straw shoes barefoot, and his feet were covered in mud and grass.

"Dad, what's going on in the fields?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yang Huazhong's face was solemn: "It's not good, a lot of rice stalks are rotten, this nutrient supply is insufficient, and seventy percent of the rice ears are empty shells!" ”

"When I came over, I heard from the people in the village that tomorrow and every day I would go to the land temple in the south of the village to burn incense and pray for the blessing of the land god."

Yang Ruoqing was silent.

The common people rely on the sky for food, but the rice harvest is still not good, they cannot afford to pay the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the family does not have enough to eat.

How are you going to spend this day?

However, sometimes manpower is really pale in front of God.

Droughts, floods, plagues......

In ancient times, without the escort of modern engineering and medical technology, everyone believed in the gods just for the sake of a year of good weather.

Yang Ruoqing's family bought a lot of fields, and more than 20 acres were planted with rice.

When the flood came, the damage was great.

"Qing'er, where is your mother? I have to talk to her about going to the Land Temple tomorrow to burn incense. Yang Huazhong said.

Yang Ruoqing was about to speak, when a voice came from outside the courtyard.

At first glance, it was Sun who came back.

Sun was holding Mianmian in his arms, followed by Bao Suyun, who was carrying a big treasure on his back.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing hurriedly greeted them in the courtyard.

helped carry the two children into the hall.

As soon as his feet stood firm, Sun said, "Qing'er, I have to go over later, and help your fifth aunt collect a few dry clothes." ”

Yang Ruoqing said: "What? Aunt Five's house is leaking badly, right? ”

Sun said: "Isn't it, the shoes in the house are floating, and when I go, your fifth aunt and her two children are hiding in bed." ”

"The umbrellas are all propped up on the top of the tent, and the bed is on the dry ground."

Yang Huazhong asked on the side: "What happened to the house of my father and fourth brother?" ”

Sun said: "Oh, I patronized and brought them over, and I haven't gone to the front yard to see it." ”

"I'll check it out later."

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Let's go over together later." ”

"Dad, let's go over together, I want to go and see it too!" Yang Ruoqing said.

So, the Sun family stayed and went to settle Bao Suyun's wife.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing, father and daughter, entered the village.

Wearing clogs, he stepped on a muddy road into the village.

The bluestone pavement in the village is full of water.

Even though Yang Ruoqing wore clogs, the water still didn't go through her instep.

The water is so dirty, there must be a lot of bacteria growing in it.

When you go home, you must soak it in hot water and apply some anti-inflammatory medicines.

Yang Ruoqing thought secretly in her heart, and followed Yang Huazhong straight to the old Yang's house.

Along the way, I passed in front of other people's yards, and I saw the big guys busy picking up at home.

Pushing the water out of the house with a broom, there was water everywhere, and the low adobe house felt like it was about to collapse at any moment in such bad weather.

As soon as I came to the main gate of Lao Yang's house, I heard Yang Hua'an's voice inside.

When I went in, Yang Hua'an, Jin's, Yang Yongjin, and even Yang Yongqing were all in battle.

The big guy is draining the water there.
