Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 1149 A thing about a washboard (two more)

Hearing Yang Ruoqing's advice, Sun smiled.

"Girl, don't worry, mother knows what to do."

In addition to guarding against Tan Shi and Sun Shi, they also had to guard against Tan Shi and Bao Suyun.

Yang Ruoqing put Lao Yangtou and Mrs. Tan in the front yard, and Bao Suyunniang three in the back yard.

Separated the two sides, Tan's food and drink were sent to the front yard.

In this way, it is not only convenient for Yang Ruoqing's family to take care of many aspects during this special period, but also effectively avoid friction and injury.

While cooking lunch, Yang Huazhong came over with Tan Shi on his back, and Lao Yang came over with Tan Shi's locked wooden box between his bedrolls.

"Qing'er, I'll go to the front yard to entertain you first. Take a look at the dishes in the pot. I'll be here in a while."

Sun stood up and said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Mom, go."

The parents-in-law came over, but the daughter-in-law didn't show up, so it didn't make sense.

Mrs. Sun went to the front yard, and Bao Suyun also went to say hello.

Soon, the two sisters-in-law came back together.

"Your grandma didn't say anything, but your grandfather praised us all over, saying that everything we arranged was good."

After Mrs. Sun returned to the kitchen, she said happily.

Yang Ruoqing smiled.

Bao Suyun stood aside holding Mianmian.

Mianmian cried impatiently.

Bao Suyun coaxed there, but the effect was not obvious.

Yang Ruoqing said: "It's meal time, Mianmian is probably hungry."

Bao Suyun said: "It's possible, I was busy moving the house this morning, so I didn't feed her much."

Yang Ruoqing said: "The egg custard stewed for her has just been put down and it's not cooked yet, how about this, the rice soup is good today, it's thick and thick."

"I'll fill half a bowl and put some sugar in it. Fifth Aunt, feed it to Mianmian. Let's put it down first."

Bao Suyun nodded: "That's good."

Facts have proved that Yang Ruoqing's words are correct.

Mianmian ate the sweet rice soup, and immediately behaved.

He sat her in his small wooden cart, and Bao Suyun squatted beside him and fed her one spoonful after another.

I can still spare some time to chat with Mrs. Sun over at Guotai.

"I hope this rain will stop falling. If it continues like this, this season's crops will be ruined."

Bao Suyun said.

"When I was in Baojia Village, there was a flood once, and the water flooded to the door of the house."

"My mother does laundry by putting a washboard at the door."

"The higher places in the village are fine, but the lower ones will suffer..."

Mrs. Sun listened carefully, and the expression on her face fluctuated accordingly.

"Qing'er, is the terrain of our house high or low?" She couldn't help asking Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Mother, don't worry, our house is on the highest terrain in the whole village."

"If our house had been flooded, then this area would have become a vast ocean long ago, and only the roof of the old house would be left."

Moreover, when the house was being built, Yang Ruoqing did the planning and design of the drawings.

Drainage is set up on slopes and places with corners, so it is impossible for water to accumulate in the yard.

No matter how much rainwater there is, it can be drained into the field ditch behind the house in time.

but……

"Mother, are you going to Granny's place today?" Yang Ruoqing asked suddenly.

Sun said: "I went there earlier and looked at your Gapo's house. It's very good and there is no water leakage."

Yang Ruoqing said, "Is there any water in the yard?"

Sun thought for a while: "A little bit, but not much."

Yang Ruoqing frowned, "Mother, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go to Gapo's yard next door to take a look."

"It's time to eat, why don't you go after eating!" Sun said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I'll be back in a while, when the meal is ready, you guys start the meal."

in the yard next door.

Yang Ruoqing first checked around. There was indeed not much water in the front yard, and the water had all drained out.

Then, she came to the large pigsty connected to the back of the yard.

Opposite the pigsty is the place where the transport team used to imprison the horses and mules.

When the yard at the back was built, it was considered to be used to keep animals in captivity for fear of smelling.

Therefore, the selected terrain is lower than the courtyard where the people in front live.

If there is water accumulation, this is the most likely place in the entire compound.

Sure enough, when Yang Ruoqing first came to this yard, she saw at a glance that there was much more water on the ground than in the front yard.

Dasun, Dajiu and Gagong are busy shoveling something in the big pigsty.

Seeing Yang Ruoqing approaching, Da Sun was surprised.

"It's so dirty here, Qing'er, why did you come here?" She asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't worry, come and have a look."

"Auntie, what are you doing?" she asked again.

Da Sun said: "No, it's raining so much, the drainage here is blocked by pig manure, it's connected to this..."

Yang Ruoqing took a look around the pigsty, and the accumulated water inside had covered the pig's calf.

More than 50 pigs stood in the water, looking around with their big ears.

The water was dirty and smelly, with pig manure floating in it.

Looking at it, Yang Ruoqing was troubled, and she couldn't imagine the feeling of Gagong and the three standing inside.

"The water isn't too deep right now. If the rain continues and the water accumulates, I'm really worried that these 50 pigs will drown!"

Da Sun talked to Yang Ruoqing while she was busy.

Ga Gong and uncle were too busy to talk, but Yang Ruoqing saw the same worry on their faces.

Gagong's family came out of the mountain last spring.

The family left Sunjiagou, where their ancestors lived for generations, and came to Changping Village to join their daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter.

Here, they have no fields.

The house I live in belongs to my daughter and son-in-law, and the vegetable garden also belongs to my daughter and son-in-law.

Even the capital and site for raising pigs were paid by the daughter and son-in-law.

Last year, they raised more than 30 pigs, during which a few were lost.

By the end of the year, more than 30 pigs were all sold, and some money was made.

This is the money they could not earn from growing crops in the mountains for several years.

They keep part of the money to manage the family's living expenses, and part of it is used as capital.

They tasted the sweetness last year, and this year they plan to raise more pigs, so they got more than 50 pigs in one go.

With experience, the loss of this year's pigs is much smaller than last year.

From the first month of raising to this July, the size of the pigs has grown.

After another month or two, one after another, they will be able to start exchanging their hands for tinkling silver.

At this juncture, if there is a disaster, the pig will be gone.

That's really...

Yang Ruoqing didn't think about it any further.

Her gaze fell over the pigsty.

When this pigsty was first built, ventilation and ventilation were considered, so the inside was built very high and wide.

In other words, the indoor height of this pigsty is nearly twice as high as that of a human house.

"Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, take a break for a while, I have a proposal for your reference." Yang Ruoqing said.

Lao Suntou and uncle came over and stood facing Yang Ruoqing across the half-person-high pigsty fence.
