Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Dabai is back

"Jing Ling, do you know how to build ships?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Zuo Jingling nodded, "Yes, my father taught me."

"Okay, great!" Yang Ruoqing was really happy from the bottom of her heart. She had been troubled by floods and continuous rain for many days, and she couldn't show her face completely.

Now that Zuo Jingling went down the mountain, it really brought good news.

"Auntie can transfer the piece of manpower for you, and the wood is also easy to get. However, the time is a bit rushed right now, and I'm afraid it will still be too late..."

Although Yang Ruoqing is not an expert in this field, she probably knows a little bit about the polishing and binding of the boat, and the need to apply tung oil and so on. There are many processes...

Zuo Jingling shook his little hand slightly: "Don't worry, aunt, there are contingency plans for everything, not to mention the shipbuilding craftsmanship passed down by our Zuo family is naturally different from other places."

Although he was young, his tone was so determined and steady, without any exaggeration.

Yang Ruoqing and Tuobaxian secretly looked at each other, and they both chose to trust him inexplicably.

"My aunt is an amateur in this area. When your uncle and grandfather come back later, you can discuss it with them carefully!" Yang Ruoqing said.

Zuo Jingling nodded and said 'OK'.

Luo Baobao is also very happy. She has grown up so much, and seeing her father and mother doing those things, she doesn't want to live under their wings forever.

She also wants to rely on her own ability to do something for the villagers. She wants to let others mention her one day, instead of saying: Look, that is the eldest daughter of the family of the great general who protects the country.

She wants others to say: Look, they are Luo Wuyou's parents!
……

Leaving the grandma Tuobaxian chatting with the two children, Yang Ruoqing got up and went to the kitchen in the backyard to help Wang Cuilian.

Although Yang Ruoqing thought she could do any job and still be in charge, Wang Cuilian couldn't agree!
"I'll come, I'll come. If you really want to help, just help me pinch two green onions and shoot two cloves of garlic. You don't need to do other work."

Yang Ruoqing couldn't laugh or cry, she felt that she had become a porcelain doll.

"Auntie, what do you plan to order for lunch?" She sat on the ponytail and asked while pinching green onions.

Wang Cuilian said: "I dried the beef that Xiaoduo sent last time, and I will cut it into a plate and fry it later."

"Fish, shrimp, there is no shortage at home, let's kill another chicken!"

"Stir-fried two green vegetables and the whole sweet soup, what do you think?"

"Very good!" Yang Ruoqing said.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other and smiled, then got busy.

Although it is said to be streamlined, the premise is that there are only three of them in the house.

The men and children are all back, so they must eat and drink well!
Near noon, Luo Tiejiang and Luo Fengtang really came back.

The two of them came back specifically for their two children.

At the dinner table, Luo Baobao and Zuo Jingling mentioned the shipbuilding to them, and immediately got their attention and approval.

So much so that after the meal, the two of them didn't rush to the river dam, but cleared the table and made tea, and discussed with Zuo Jingling about the details of the shipbuilding, Luo Baobao still had a pen and paper in his hand record.

"Three-year-old and eighty-year-old, I think Jingling will have a bright future."

In the kitchen in the backyard, Wang Cuilian, who was cleaning up the dishes, said this to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing felt the same way, "Although that child was late to speak out, but now it seems that he is precocious. He doesn't talk much but has everything in his heart."

Wang Cuilian laughed: "My baby's personality is exactly the opposite, one is a gourd and the other is a cannon."

Yang Ruoqing also covered her mouth and smiled.

"When I made tea for them earlier, I heard him discuss the shipbuilding process with Tang Yazi. They were all in the know, and I couldn't understand them!" Yang Ruoqing said again.

Wang Cuilian said: "Me too, but he knows everything at such a young age, so it can be seen that this tutor is different."

What is the 11-year-old boy doing in Changping Village?

I was going down the river to catch fish, went up the tree to dig out bird eggs, stole eggs from other people's chicken coops, and was chased, beaten, and scolded by others.

But Zuo Jingling is already proficient in shipbuilding. Not only can he build a ship, but according to Luo Baobao, in the training camp this time, Zuo Jingling also designed many mechanisms for Luo Baobao's training camp.

Defensive and offensive...

In Luo Baobao's words: "The food for the past half month is not in vain for him..."

After tidying up the kitchen, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back to the front yard, only to find that none of them were at home.

On the table, there was a note left, and the flamboyant words on it could be seen to be written by Luo Baobao.

It turned out that the siblings followed Luo Fengtang and the others to the dike.

Not bad, now I have learned to leave a note for me.

Yang Ruoqing put away the note, and went back to the backyard contentedly to clean up the house for the two children.

Since Zuo Jingling wanted to stay and build the ship, he would definitely not return to Huguang County in a short time.

After cleaning up the house later, I will send a subordinate to send a message to Huguang County to reassure the Zuo family.

……

The next thing is to divide the troops into several groups.

Luo Fengtang, Yang Huazhong and the son-in-law led the big guys to strengthen the dam, monitor the water level day and night, and keep in touch with other upstream areas at any time.

Zuo Jingling and Luo Baobao took up the big business of shipbuilding. Luo Fengtang transferred a group of subordinates to help them. Blacksmith Luo also came back from the embankment. He owns a small fishing boat and considers himself a half-expert. And he's a good hitter, so he can help out when the time comes.

And Yang Ruoqing's side is also in full swing to carry out the transportation of grain.

The first two are visible to the whole village.

But for the last item, Yang Ruoqing did it quietly.

Just when everyone was working together to fight against the flood that may come at any time, a familiar figure, carrying a large bag and a small bag, pushed open the door of the old Wang's house.

"Dabai, my son, you are finally back!"

Yang Huamei doesn't think about food and tea every day, like a wandering ghost, she keeps talking about Dabai.

The crowd was vast and she didn't know where to look for it. She never expected that Dabai would come back by himself on such an unremarkable early morning!
She rushed up and grabbed her son's arms, looking him up and down.

When she found that her son's hands and feet were healthy, not only did she not lose weight, but she seemed to have gained a little weight, Yang Huamei finally let go of her hanging heart!
"Son, if you don't come back, mother will really go crazy!"

Dabai smiled and said, "Mom, I'm in a hurry to go out and earn money, I was delayed on the way."

Yang Huamei wiped her tears and said, "It doesn't matter if you earn money or not, our family can live well."

Mother gave a pair of gold bracelets, pawned one to build a new house for Dabai, and there was only one left in the closet!

If it really doesn't work, pawn it again, and it's easy to exchange for 30 taels of silver.

What's more, Shuanzi also put nearly 20 taels of silver in the third brother's place, and when he took it back, the family's property almost caught up to 50 taels.

"Mother, are you kidding me? If I don't earn money at my age, how can I let you live forever? How can I support Hongmei and the children?"

"Besides, I'm the elder brother. If Xiao Hei marries a wife in the future, I'll have to help with the management. It doesn't cost money!"

Speaking of Hongmei and the child, Dabai raised his head and looked around.

Yang Huamei knew what he was looking for, and her face suddenly became a little ugly: "Don't look for it, I was locked in the room!"
