Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11156

Yang Ruoqing walked into the big tent of Old Yang's family and felt as if she had walked into a yurt with air leaking from all sides.

The middle is the central axis, and on both sides are bedding covered with wooden boards and waterproof and moisture-proof felt. Just as Xiaohua and the others said before, the left side is the big bunk bed for men, and the right side is the big bunk bed for women and children.

In the open space in the middle, there is a small folding table with a teapot and teacups on it. Next to the table, there is a charcoal brazier with burning charcoal in it, providing a constant supply of heat to the tent.

However, in Yang Ruoqing's opinion, the effect is almost zero, because the tent is leaky on all four sides, and the skills of the people in the south in building tents are indeed not as good as those of the nomadic people in the north.

When you go out to avoid floods, you can put up something like this to shelter from the wind and rain. It can accommodate bedding for the whole family, and you can sleep in the quilt at night to keep warm. This tent has perfectly achieved its function, and there is no need to mention other high requirements and standards. Even if you do, they cannot be achieved.

"Aunt, I'm here to see you. How are you? Are you used to living in the pasture these two days?"

Yang Ruoqing walked into the tent with a smile, and saw that no one else was in the tent. Only Tan and Yang Huamei, mother and daughter, were left in the tent.

Both mother and daughter sat cross-legged in the bedding roll, each holding a small copper stove to warm their hands.

"Qing'er, why are you here? Has the water in the village receded?" Yang Huamei was very happy to see Yang Ruoqing coming. She sat up from her bedding roll and asked Yang Ruoqing.

"The rain just stopped yesterday, how could the water recede so quickly? It can't!"

As soon as Yang Ruoqing opened her mouth, she interrupted Yang Huamei's thoughts.

Yang Huamei was obviously a little disappointed. She stroked her big belly and murmured, "Hey, I was originally planning to go to town in the first month of the year, but I didn't expect it to rain. I can't go out, and Old Xu can't come in. If it goes on like this, will I have to give birth to my baby in my mother's house?"

Tan quickly pulled up the quilt to cover Yang Huamei, which had slipped down because of her caressing her belly, and said in a very firm tone: "Why are you panicking? If you really want to give birth at your parents' home, then just give birth. It doesn't matter where you give birth."

Yang Huamei gave Tan a wry smile but said nothing.

That's what she said, but if it were true, she would not have been born in her mother's home, but in this tent.

Think about it, if you can go back to your mother's house to give birth, doesn't that mean the water in the village has receded and everyone can go back to their own homes?

In that case, I can naturally go to town and there is no need to give birth to the baby in my parents' home.

In Changping Village, there is probably no other precedent for a married girl giving birth in her parents' home, except for embroidery.

As for Xiu Xiu's situation, everyone knows it. The reason she gave birth to her baby in her parents' home was because her relationship with Li Wei had completely broken down. The Li family no longer wanted her as their daughter-in-law. This is the greatest humiliation for a woman.

"Pang Ya, what's the situation in the village now?" Tan thought she had calmed Yang Huamei down, so she turned around and asked Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing stared at Tan with a half-smile: "Grandma, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words if you want to ask me about the situation in the village."

Tan was stunned for a moment, then realized the meaning of Yang Ruoqing's words.

She pouted and muttered something unpleasant in her heart, but still reluctantly spoke again: "Qing girl, is this okay?"

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows, "Wouldn't it be better if we did this earlier? It would save trouble for everyone."

Tan glared at Yang Ruoqing fiercely. She really disliked her but couldn't do anything with her. Seeing this, Yang Huamei hurried out to smooth things over: "Qing'er, your grandma has changed her mind, so stop teasing her and tell us what's going on in the village!"

Yang Huamei patted the seat next to her, motioning Yang Ruoqing to sit over there.

Yang Ruoqing wanted to sit over so that she could talk more conveniently, but then she saw Tan pick up a covered spittoon from beside her feet, spit a big mouthful of liquid into it, then put the lid back on and put the spittoon back in its place.

Yang Ruoqing suddenly didn't want to sit over there anymore, and said, "No need to sit, I'll just stand and talk."

He repeated to Tan and Yang Huamei exactly what he had said to Sun and the others before.

When I heard that the flooding in the whole alley near Old Yang's house was relatively mild, only reaching the calves, while other places were either up to the thighs, waist, or chest...

Yang Huamei couldn't help but sigh: "My father chose to build the house on the high ground in the east. It was a wise move!"

Tan said: "Of course, your father has a good eye!"

"Oh, my grandma is praising my grandpa, right? The sun is rising from the west. It's a pity that my grandpa is not here, otherwise he would be so happy."

Tan rolled her eyes at Yang Ruoqing: "You are so disrespectful!"

"Besides, when have I ever said anything bad about your grandfather? I always praise him!"

Yang Ruoqing and Yang Huamei looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding: "Yes, yes, my grandma has always been good at praising people."

Tan waved her hands. "Alright, alright, don't talk about that nonsense. Let me ask you, roughly, when can we move back home? This big family is squeezed into a palm-sized tent. It's really miserable. I couldn't sleep well these two nights!"

"Why, grandma? Logically speaking, you and grandpa would like to live together as a family, right? When we separated, you two were really disappointed for a while!"

"Bullshit!" Tan shook her head with disgust.

"There are people sleeping in the room, some are snoring, some are grinding their teeth, some are talking in their sleep, some are farting, and there are even children wetting the bed..."

"I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's too torturous. We old people are shallow sleepers. After being tossed around like this, we can't sleep well. It's so uncomfortable!"

Yang Huamei gently stroked Tan's back and said to Yang Ruoqing, "This is indeed true. Not only my parents, but also me and several other people couldn't bear it. Alas!"

Yang Ruoqing spread her hands and said, "What can we do? This is a refuge, not an outing. Think about it this way. Would you rather be squeezed together and suffer like this, or would you rather be washed everywhere in the flood like dead pigs and dead rats?"

Tan and Yang Huamei's faces changed because what Yang Ruoqing said made them recall the vivid picture.

Even nausea.

Yang Ruoqing pointed at the tent above her head and said, "The Xiang family has been very generous and has provided a place for us to stay for the sake of our third branch. You have a place to set up your tent. Be content!"

"When the water in the village is almost drained, we will return naturally when we can. We don't need you to drain the water, nor do we need you to organize people to drain the water. We ask you to wait patiently, and stop getting agitated."
