Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 2002 Happy Event (Third)
Yang Ruohe hid at Yu Jinbao's house and refused to return to Lao Yang's house.

In the next few days, Yang Huaming went to Yujia Village a few more times, but Yang Ruohe refused to see him with various excuses and reasons.

After going several times in a row, Yang Huaming also felt that it was boring.

It's all right if you don't drag Yang Ruohe back, all the villages in ten miles and eight villages know that the fourth wife of the old Yang's family is a wonderful married girl.

This matter has become the talk of the big guys after dinner, and it is also a joke.

Old Yangtou, Yang Huaming and the others were walking in the village, and they were all pointed at.

Those village women who had had conflicts with Mrs. Liu before, seized the opportunity this time and laughed at Mrs. Liu to their death.

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she couldn't eat well, couldn't sleep these few days, and she was so angry that she used it all to quarrel with the village women outside.

The days passed like this, and the growth of late rice met a test.

Because, God has not rained for several days.

In the paddy fields, pieces of dry cracks appeared.

The cotton fields were also cracked due to dryness.As a result, the villagers began to fight the drought.

The drought this time is not only in the area of ​​Mianniu Mountain, but also in the entire Wanghai County, and even the area of ​​Huguang County.

God's rain is too abundant, there is no place to store the water, and it is flooded everywhere.

The immature rice stopped growing, the cotton stalks rotted in the ground, poultry and livestock were drowned, and the corpses floated on the water, causing germs everywhere, and the plague was rampant.

But now, God is not raining, and the land is dry.

The water surface in the big pond at the entrance of Changping Village also dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the field ditches, the water has long evaporated, and the soil at the bottom of the ditch looks like a turtle shell, and it is overturned piece by piece.

Seeing the crops, the cotton was almost dying of drought, and in other places in the same county, the livestock could barely drink water, let alone irrigate the fields and crops.

As for the area around Changping Village, Yang Huazhong was with the Lizhengs from nearby Yujia Village and Zhengjia Village.

After getting permission from the town's security chief, he took people to open the large reservoir at the foot of the mountain near Zhengjia Village.

As soon as the big reservoir was opened, the water flowed down the river along the channel where Yang Ruoqing "grew vines and melons" during the flood that year.

While nourishing the crops along the way, the excess water can also be gathered into the 'melons' on the vines.

This 'melon' is one small reservoir after another.

The water in the reservoir can guarantee the crop demand of a nearby area for five or six days.

As a result, the water level of the pond at the entrance of Changping Village rose sharply.

The villagers' laundry, draft water, and draft water for the livestock are all settled now.

"Even if it doesn't rain for 20 days, we can still carry it through!" Yang Huazhong said to Sun and Yang Ruoqing when he returned home after running around the fields outside.

Mrs. Sun poured him a bowl of tea made with cool lotus seed cores, and said, "Can it last for 20 days? That's a good idea. The late rice is ripe, and the cotton can be harvested."

Yang Huazhong nodded: "According to solar terms, it is impossible to pass 20 days without rain."

"I heard from them that in many other places, the crops have died of drought, and many poultry and livestock have died of thirst,"

"But our area is safe and sound, just waiting to harvest crops."

"Now, I heard that many people in the village over there are looking for their in-laws, and they all want to marry their daughters to our area, so that our area will not die or be drowned by drought." Yang Huazhong said.

When Sun heard these words, she smiled again.

Yang Ruoqing also showed a gratified smile.

Yang Huazhong suddenly said: "By the way, the villagers of Shiliba Village now praise Qing'er like me when they see me!"

"Long vines and melons are a way to prevent floods and droughts. Qing'er, Tang Yazi, and Zichuan worked under a lot of pressure."

"This is really a thing that the predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, and it really benefited the village."

"Big fellow, I've tasted the benefits at this moment, and everyone is talking about Qing'er's well-being,"

"There are even people who say that instead of worshiping Buddha or something, the Buddha will not rain on us. And Qing'er is really doing practical things for us." Yang Huazhong said again.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing smiled even more modestly.

"Don't lift me up so high. If you lift me up higher, something will not be done well, and the fall will hurt even more," she said.

I live here, relatives, friends, children, all here.

She naturally has to work hard to keep herself and the people she loves safe and sound.

Human wisdom can sometimes overcome natural disasters.

"By the way, Qing'er, this Tang Yazi has been in the south for more than a month. Has he come to write a letter? Did he say when he will come back?" Yang Huazhong asked again.

Mentioning this, Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"I'm just going to tell my parents that he has settled his affairs in the army and has already set off. He is now on his way home."

"Hmm... I guess I'll be home in two days, just in time for the rice harvest," she said.

Yang Huazhong and Mrs. Sun felt relieved when they heard this.

Two days later, Luo Fengtang really came back.

I haven't seen him for more than a month. He has lost weight and darkened.

However, the spirit of the whole person is still very good.

"Hey, after walking 1000 million miles, it's better to come back here."

After coming out of the shower room refreshed, Luo Fengtang let out a satisfied sigh.

Yang Ruoqing was cutting watermelon there, when she heard this, she turned her head and smiled at him.

"Golden nest and silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. Even if you give me a golden palace, I won't change it. I want this home!"

As she spoke, she took a piece of watermelon and handed it to him.

"Let's eat two pieces of watermelon to relieve the summer heat. My aunt is cooking. After a short rest, it's almost time for lunch," she said.

Luo Fengtang took the watermelon and took a bite.

"It's so sweet." He said.

"I never imagined that this year's drought would produce such sweet watermelons," he said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Our place is still not affected, and the harvest is still good."

"Back then we were under pressure to build river canals, it was really a matter of benefiting future generations!" Luo Fengtang said again.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "We also benefit from it."

"By the way, you don't know some good news, right?" She said, "Na Risong, Ah Hao, and my Brother Yong Jin, they are all going to be fathers."

"Really?" Luo Fengtang opened his eyes wide, full of surprise.

Yang Ruoqing continued: "The three of them got pregnant together, and they will give birth around the same time, all in March next year."

"By the way, there is also He'er. She is married to Yu Jinbao and is also pregnant. She will give birth in March next year..."

"What?"

This time, Luo Fengtang was so surprised that he couldn't speak.

"I've been away for a month, and I didn't expect so many things to happen at home. It's really happy events one after another!" He said.

The happy event here has not been fully absorbed, and another happy event from Zhoujia Village has also arrived.
