Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7497 Surprise
Changping Village.

The two waterwheels in front of me are working hard. The waterwheels will not be tired, but the people will be tired.

Therefore, Luo Fengtang arranged five or six people to work in shifts next to each waterwheel, and he personally taught everyone some basic waterwheel troubleshooting methods.

Of course, when encountering a more complicated situation, Zuo Jingling, a professional technical expert, should be invited to solve it.

"Qing'er, these two water trucks can drain water quite quickly together. You see, the water level has obviously receded a bit. When we came here earlier, it flooded to my place. Now it's estimated to be half a finger deep."

Mrs. Liu watched with relish, pulled Yang Ruoqing to speak excitedly, and even bent down to compare with her own legs.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "There must be an effect."

However, after all, it is a waterwheel, and its working efficiency is still not as good as that of modern water pumps.

It would be great if there was a water pump, and the water could be pumped dry day and night.

After watching the pump for a while, Yang Ruoqing found that her father, Yang Huazhong, and several uncles such as Changgen Daniel were not here.

She was a little surprised, father was not only Li Zheng, but also the mainstay of the flood fighting and emergency rescue. Why didn't he come here for such a sacred thing as pumping water?
It just so happened that Luo Fengtang came over to bring her water to drink, and also found her a ponytail by the way.

The little Maza was a little wet, so he took off his coat and gave her a cushion to let her sit down and rest for a while.

"Tang Yazi, why haven't I seen my father and the others? Didn't they come to draw water today?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Luo Fengtang said: "How can it be? Father-in-law and Uncle Changgen came here early in the morning, and then took people to check the dam around the village."

Yang Ruoqing was stunned.

Because of the previous flood discharge from the upper reaches, the water was poured into the river at the entrance of the village, which far exceeded the carrying capacity of the river.

The water level in the river soared, even surpassing the protective fence that Luo Fengtang and the others worked so hard to build. Following the law of water flowing to the lower places, the river will overflow the fence and dams and pour back into the fields and villages until the water level outside reaches the same level. Only when the river level is flat will it not continue to flood.

Today, the weather is fine, the water is receding little by little, and the water level in the river has also begun to drop. When it falls below the water level in the village and the fields, it can be drained.

However, due to the flooding earlier, the fields, villages, and nearby ditches were all covered with water.

When draining water, you have to plan a target area first, and then use soil sandbags to build fences around the target area to isolate the water from the outside, so that the water in the target area can be drained first.

The village must be the preferred target, so a few days before the drainage, Yang Huazhong and his team led people to build sandbags around the village, and the sandbags were almost built, and two holes were left to serve as water trucks, so that the water would be discharged from the reserved holes .

After the embankment is built, patrols and inspections have to be carried out to prevent omissions, and then drainage will become an endless chore.

So Yang Huazhong is going to patrol right now.

"Come on, take a few sips of water, and I'll send you back after drinking."

After Luo Fengtang explained clearly, he unscrewed the water bag in his hand and handed it to Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing obediently agreed, he was doing serious business, and her staying here would inevitably distract him.

After drinking the water, Luo Fengtang picked her up first and went to the boat, and Wang Liang and the others dragged the pig-killing pot over.

"Fourth aunt, I have to wrong you again!" Wang Liang said with a smile.

Liu smiled and waved his hands: "Don't be wronged or wronged, come on!"

Mrs. Liu climbed into the pig killing basin by herself, and squatted inside, holding the sides of the basin tightly with both hands, while Wang Liang and the others dragged the basin into the water.

When they got to the side of the boat, Luo Fengtang also came over to help Mrs. Liu onto the boat.

"Wait a second, I have something for you to take back."

Luo Fengtang said, and walked back to the river, and came back after a while, with two more large grass carp tied together on a string in his hand.

Each grass carp weighs nearly five or six catties, alive and kicking, with water weeds on its body.

"This fish?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Recently, there has been a flood, and fish are often seen in the village, but many of them are dead, and everyone dare not eat them.

Luo Fengtang said: "I got this from the river. It's a clean fish. You can take it home and eat it."

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing and Liu Shi looked at each other, one happy and the other excited.

Luo Fengtang said again: "Our family can't finish eating so much, Qing'er, take the fish and make arrangements for yourself."

After saying this, he patted the shoulder of Zuo Jingling who also rushed back from the waterwheel, "Go, row the boat slowly."

Zuo Jingling nodded, jumped onto the boat, and pushed hard with the long pole in his hand, the boat slowly sailed away from Luo Fengtang, heading towards the village steadily.

Mrs. Liu was so focused on the two big grass carp under her feet that she was almost drooling.

"It's been almost 20 days since I ate fresh fish. I dreamed about eating fish last night. I didn't expect it to come true today. It's really mysterious!" scales.

The fish is big, and the scales are also not small. When Liu picked out one piece, it was bigger than her fingernail.

Yang Ruoqing patted Liu's arm with a smile, "Fourth Aunt, just look at it, don't pick it, it won't taste so good after you eat it."

"Oh, I'm so happy, I can't control the itching."

Mrs. Liu chuckled, and quickly withdrew her hand.

"Qing'er, how do you eat this fish at noon?" Mrs. Liu asked again.

This is where Mrs. Liu is clever and clever. She didn't ask Yang Ruoqing for a fish, because she knew in her heart that Yang Ruoqing would definitely share one of them to honor Mrs. Sun and Yang Huazhong.

And now I live in the third room, and I eat in a pot, so I must have a bite of this fish.

Begging, or inquiring, is too pretentious, and it seems excessive, and Liu likes to be straightforward.

Sure enough, Yang Ruoqing didn't think anything different about Mrs. Liu's question, and even thought about it for a while, and said, "If I remember correctly, there seems to be some prickly ash in my mother's place?"

Mrs. Liu said: "Of course there are. I saw them two days ago. They were very dry in the sun. Your mother kept them in jars and preserved them very well. I sniffed them secretly, and they were numb and fragrant."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "Then let's make a bowl of boiled fish for lunch, with Chinese prickly ash and dried chili, it would be even better if there are some side dishes..."

"Will green vegetables and bean sprouts work?" Mrs. Liu rushed to ask.

"Xiaoqingcai has it in the vegetable garden in the backyard, and the bean sprouts have also grown in the sand around the water tank of the third sister-in-law. It popped up a few days ago, and it has grown for two days. Today, I can dig it out and eat it!"

Yang Ruoqing was overjoyed, "Fourth Aunt, Fourth Aunt, you are hiding from my mother's side this time, and you have found out everything about my parents and their families!"

Mrs. Liu twisted her body, blushed, and said embarrassingly: "Hey, I just care about eating, but you also know your mother, she is generous and open-minded, and she doesn't back me for anything, I don't need to find out. , it's all under the nose, hehehe..."
