Chapter 7345 The Big Boy

"Is there really such a saying?" Wang Cuilian asked nervously.

Yang Ruoqing nodded vigorously, "Of course, so, aunt, we will follow what you said before for what we eat and drink. Tang Yazi and I agree!"

When Wang Cuilian got this sentence, she gained confidence in her heart and immediately felt relaxed.

"OK, then we will have three dishes and one soup at noon, and at night..."

"If Tang Yazi and uncle go home for dinner at night, let's cook hard rice and stir-fry a few dishes. If they eat at the river bank, then our mothers and I can eat something thinner, so it's easier to digest!" Yang Ruoqing suggested .

"Okay, I've thought about it with me, so I'll go and get ready."

Wang Cuilian walked briskly to the kitchen.

She had to redeploy the rice grains at home, and then she had to make sure there was enough for the family.

Only when there is enough food at home can the children concentrate on doing things outside, so from now on, it is necessary to plan carefully, which can be regarded as helping the children to save money!

Looking at Wang Cuilian's energetic back, Yang Ruoqing smiled sincerely.

This is the family that gathers together and works hard together!
At night, Blacksmith Luo and Luo Fengtang had dinner at the embankment before returning.

The father and father were very surprised to see the porridge and pancakes eaten by the women in the family.

Without waiting for Luo Fengtang to speak out, Blacksmith Luo took the lead to ask: "What's the matter with you? Why are you eating these? Can these be enough? And Qing'er has two bodies..."

Just as Wang Cuilian was about to explain, Yang Ruoqing held down her hand and came to talk to Luo Tiejiang and Luo Fengtang about the discussion at home.

After hearing this, both fathers were silent.

Blacksmith Luo said after a while, "No matter what happens, I can't make you suffer!"

Yang Ruoqing said with a smile: "Uncle, this is not bitter at all, porridge, steamed buns and side dishes, such delicate food, I don't know how many people can't eat it!"

Blacksmith Luo smiled naively, took out his pipe and smoked a few puffs.

Exhaled a few puffs of smoke rings and asked Luo Fengtang: "We have been repairing the embankment day and night, what do you think is the possibility of this flood?"

Luo Fengtang's eyes were originally focused on his own wife, and his eyes were filled with distress.

But seeing her satisfied expression while sipping porridge, he couldn't help feeling a little more relaxed.

Uncle's question brought him back to his senses in an instant. He thought for a while and said, "How should I put it, I feel that if the sun does not clear for a long time, the water level will not go down. If it doesn’t clear up, we will still suffer from the large-scale impact.”

"Ah?" Blacksmith Luo was stunned.

Wang Cuilian didn't quite understand, she asked everyone: "How do you say this? It's cleared up, as soon as the sun comes out, the water will be dried up? Doesn't the water level go down? Why don't you go down?" Can the rain still affect us?"

So Yang Ruoqing dipped some rice soup with her chopsticks, and lightly drew a few strokes for Wang Cuilian on the table.

"Auntie, look, if it's been raining upstream, the rivers and ponds over there won't be able to hold it. Will the water have to be poured back into the nearby fields, villages, and market towns?"

"Yes! I understand this, but what does it matter to us? Can it still flood our place?" She was still puzzled.

Yang Ruoqing went on to say: "Usually in order to keep the market town and minimize losses as much as possible, the yamen will order flood discharge."

"What is flood discharge?"

"It's to divert the flood water to other places." Luo Fengtang also added from the side.

Wang Cuilian nodded.

Yang Ruoqing went on to explain to her in detail, the general idea is that these rivers and ponds are actually connected to each other, and the water in the nearby places is too large to go, so it can only be discharged downstream through these rivers, so that more rivers and Ponds and lakes come to help break down the pressure brought by the flood.

Therefore, Sleeping Niu Mountain is not self-contained.

The most urgent task is not only to protect oneself well, but also to be ready to share the pressure elsewhere at any time, so this is the reason why the river embankment is strengthened every day.

"I finally understand, this is... too difficult!" Wang Cuilian murmured.

Tuoba Xian also smiled wryly, chanting the Buddha's name silently in her heart, and only hoped that the sky would clear up soon.

At night, Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang took a bath and lay on the bed with a mat. The room was lit with wormwood, so if the curtains were drawn up in time, there would be no fear of mosquitoes in the room.

Luo Fengtang embraced Yang Ruoqing in one hand, and held a big cattail fan in the other hand, fanning her lightly, the two of them chatted one after another.

The topics of conversation during this time were all about river embankments and floods.

Luo Fengtang said: "I want to discuss with you, how much grain does our family have in stock right now?"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "I knew you would ask this, why, are you worried that the people who repair the embankment will not have enough food?"

Luo Fengtang nodded truthfully.

Yang Ruoqing patted his strong chest: "Don't worry, people who repair the embankment count their rations on a head-to-head basis, three meals a day, and now our family's rations can manage them for two months!"

No matter how good the river embankment is, it is impossible for it to take two months.

Luo Fengtang felt relieved.

"There's another thing..."

He had just opened his mouth when Yang Ruoqing suddenly raised a finger to cover his lips: "Are you worried that there will be a real flood and you will open a storehouse for disaster relief?"

Luo Fengtang nodded.

"Ha, don't worry, I have already sent people to Brother Zuo in Huguang County, Brother Xu Mang in Wanghai County, and Second Brother to send a message, asking them to find a way to transport food for me."

"There are also restaurants in the town and restaurants in Qing'an County. I wrote to them separately, asking them to arrange the storage of grain by themselves, so as to avoid the shortage of rice and grain during the flood and cause the restaurants to close down."

Luo Fengtang turned over and fixed his eyes on Yang Ruoqing's.

"What? Why do you look at me like this? Is there rice on my face or something?"

Yang Ruoqing poked his handsome face and asked jokingly.

Luo Fengtang sighed softly: "No wonder the ancients said that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man, having a virtuous wife is really like adding wings to a husband."

"What I can think of, what I can't think of, daughter-in-law, you have arranged everything in advance, such a good daughter-in-law... I will not change the throne for me!"

Yang Ruoqing didn't follow her, and scolded her: "What? I'm only worthy of the throne?"

"No, no, there are more than ten thrones, and mountains of gold and silver are not as good. In short, a daughter-in-law is a priceless treasure!"

"Well, that's a good flattery!" Yang Ruoqing held his face and said with a smile.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm serious," his eyes suddenly darkened, and he stopped laughing.

"Thank you for your hard work, you are still running around behind with a big belly."

He was very distressed, but he couldn't care about it.

Yang Ruoqing stopped laughing and laughing, but looked at him with a gentle smile: "The hero is outside and the woman is inside, you are fighting on the front line, and I will take care of the rear for you. You can arrange the flood fighting. I have the supplies in the rear." , promise not to hold you back!"

"Well! Thank you, daughter-in-law!"

He buried his head in her arms.
