Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 11194

"Sister, I can't eat such a big bun by myself, can you help me eat some?"

Xiaoduo pinched it gently, cut off most of it and handed it to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "I came here after having breakfast, give me the small portion."

Xiao Duo stuffed the small part into her mouth and took a big bite, pretending to be innocent and said, "Oh, sister, you're too late, I've already taken a bite... It's okay, you should just eat the big part. If you can't finish it, you can give it to me later."

Just like that, the larger portion of the steamed bun was stuffed into Yang Ruoqing's hand.

Yang Ruoqing smiled helplessly. This girl even gave herself the bigger half of a steamed bun. She was really...

Yang Ruoqing planned to wait until she finished eating the half steamed bun in her hand before going for a walk around the grassland, so now she was standing next to the stove eating the steamed bun in her hand.

Xiaoduo was sitting at the stove, boiling water in a big pot. She would send some to the Yang family and the Sun family later.

As for the eldest Sun, who had taken three steamed buns earlier, she quickly took them back while they were still hot and gave them to the oldest Sun and to the two Shunzi brothers to share, so she did not participate in the conversation here.

Soon, Sun heard the news and rushed over. "Mom, I didn't bring you any steamed buns today. Come over tomorrow and I'll bring some for all of you. I'll distribute steamed buns at home tomorrow morning."

Sun smiled and said, "My child, I am still coveting the steamed buns in your sisters' hands, aren't I?"

"If you Luo family want to eat some, you can also bring some over for your grandparents and your grandfather to enjoy as a snack. There's nothing wrong with that."

"If they're distributing steamed buns just for a bunch of us... forget it. There's no need to go to all that trouble."

"It's not a big deal, mom. I ate some steamed buns from their kitchen today. They were pretty good. They made me hungry."

Sun smiled and narrowed her eyes. "It's not convenient for me right now. If I were in the village, I would come and give you some steamed buns."

As for Sun, Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo absolutely believed that she could do what she said.

In the past, whenever Yang Ruoqing and the others casually mentioned to Sun what they wanted to eat, or casually muttered: that something, it tastes pretty good...

Well, then in the next few days, you will find that you will meet the thing you have been talking about from time to time at the dinner table.

All this is because of my mother, Sun.

"Mom, do you want some tea?" Xiao Duo poked her head out from the stove and asked, "The pot and the small iron pot are full of freshly boiled water, just right for making tea."

Sun shook her head: "I'm not thirsty. I'll help you deliver hot water to Old Yang's house later."

Xiaoduo pulled out a small stool for Sun to sit on.

The mother and her two daughters chatted about family matters for a while. Yang Ruoqing noticed that Sun's complexion was obviously much better than the previous two days.

To be precise, the feeling of chaos brought by fleeing the disaster has subsided, and I am no longer in a state of palpitations, fear, and confusion, always worrying about not being able to return home.

Sun in front of her seemed very at ease. Yang Ruoqing guessed that all this should be related to the fact that Yang Huazhong returned to the old Yang family's big tent last night.

Because Yang Huazhong returned to the big tent, dozens of people from the old Yang family must have slept together at night, and everyone was listening to Yang Huazhong talk about the latest situation in the village. And Yang Huazhong's words were authoritative, which made everyone convinced and at ease.

For Sun, Yang Huazhong is the pillar and backbone in her heart. As long as Yang Huazhong is around, she will not be worried about anything.

Unlike the previous few days, Sun couldn't see Yang Huazhong, and much of the information about the extent of the flood she got was heard from other villagers.

Some villagers, out of boredom, ran to the foot of the mountain to look at the river and the disaster-stricken villages on the other side of the river. When they were done, they came back and made big claims and exaggerated stories.

One person told two, two told four, some things became more and more outrageous and scary. Sun even heard some villagers say that the water was full of snakes, as densely packed as hemp ropes.

Those snakes were all disciples of the two giant snakes that were trying to escape from the reservoir. They took advantage of the flood to rush into the village and got into every household, beds, quilts, stoves, and even rice pots!

  Some snakes even have two heads, some have two heads grown together, and some have one head at the head and one at the tail, making it impossible to tell which head is the head and which is the tail!

When Yang Huazhong moved back into the tent on the grassland, reunited with everyone, brought back true and reliable news, and Sun herself went back to the village to collect some clothes for replacement, that feeling of anxiety was completely eliminated.

Especially when Sun saw that her son-in-law and daughter had gathered people and, with the help of several windmills brought by Zuo Jinling, were working hard to drain the water every day, Sun suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about.

Not only is returning to the village just around the corner, but Sun also especially cherishes the days when everyone can gather on the grassland together.

There may not be many opportunities to encounter situations like this in the future, so this is a new and different experience.

So at this moment, Sun was very talkative, and his mood was very high when he was talking to Yang Ruoqing and Xiaoduo.

As they talked, the topic turned to a family named Huansheng in the village.

"Many of the remaining people in our village went into the mountains to help Huansheng find his father," said Sun.

  Help Huansheng find his father?

Yang Ruoqing remembered that Huansheng lived in the row of houses next to the pond at the entrance of the village, the first house at the end, with the old maple tree on the left.

"Why do we have to help Huansheng's family find his father? Did the old man run away?" Xiaoduo asked first.

Yang Ruoqing glanced at Xiaohua and said, "That's unlikely. Huansheng's father is a sick old man who has been bedridden for almost a year or so. Many families in Changping Village know about this."

To use the farmers' dialect, the old man in Huansheng's family is stuck to the bed. He is not a long-term guest, so how could he run away?

What does it mean to be lost? That requires a person with healthy limbs!

"Mom, what exactly happened? Please go on." Xiaoduo turned around and asked Sun.

Sun continued, "Qing'er is right. The old man has indeed been ill for a long time. But this morning, when Huansheng's wife went to deliver food to the old man's tent, she found that he was gone."

"Huansheng called all his uncles and brothers, and they almost searched the entire pasture, but they couldn't find the old man."

"Ah? The grassland was turned upside down? How come I, the owner of the grassland, didn't know anything about it?" Xiaoduo was surprised.

Sun said: "Your uncle and Shengnan knew about it, and they helped to look for it, but they couldn't find it!"

Xiao Duo opened her eyes wide, "That's impossible!"

"There is only one gate to the pasture. We have to lock the gate at night. How could an old man who has been sick for so long get out? He must still be in the pasture!"
