Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 144 It Wasn't For Nothing

Although the rain has stopped, the sky is still cloudy, and occasionally the sun will shine, but it still gives people a gloomy feeling, as if there will be another heavy rain in the next moment. The villagers are a little nervous, and they find Li Zheng and Dear clan elders, I would like to hear what thoughts you have.

However, most people still take advantage of the time when there is no heavy rain to go to the fields and reorganize the fields so that they can plant the second season of rice. If they miss the time, the second season's harvest will be halved. By then, the loss But it's big.

Even though the villagers were very busy, Lizheng still recruited a lot of people to repair the embankment, because no one could guarantee that there would be no more heavy rain. If the embankment collapsed, not only the fields and houses would be flooded.

Repairing the embankment was not an easy task. Hong Haoan's legs were not healed yet, and Puhuang didn't dare to let him soak in cold water. If something went wrong, he would not be the one who suffered.Hong Hao'an couldn't hold back Puhuang, so he had to dig the land, which was used to grow peanuts and corn, whether it was sweet potatoes or vegetables.

It was cloudy for two days, and it rained again. This was much more than before, and the time was doubled. This made the villagers very miserable. Not everyone would be like Puhuang, who prepared a day early. There are a lot of firewood left, and if you can't boil the pot, you will be hungry. Therefore, there are many people who are distressed.

It's not that no one is looking for Puhuang, but the firewood collected by Puhuang has long been distributed to neighbors. There is no way to find out how much is left. It was a disheveled one with a sad face.

People do not go out, do not communicate, and the news is blocked. This is not the previous life. There are mobile phones, computers and TVs to get news from the outside world. When the rain stops and the sun comes out, almost every household is drying quilts and firewood. Why do you go.

Most often, a group of women hurried back to their natal homes, or people from other villages came to see their relatives, all with worried faces.When it rains heavily, the fear is that the river embankment will burst and the house will collapse, which can easily lead to death.

As soon as people move around, news spreads, and soon, everyone knows the situation in other villages, and further away, it is in other towns, where people died, where houses collapsed, where the child was washed away by water, etc. Suddenly, almost everyone in the village would say these things when they met.

Puhuang was not interested in those gossips at all. She was busy dealing with the gutters in front of and behind the house, so that there was no water blocking them. At the same time, she also took out all the things in the house to dry them, especially those mountain products. .

Things at home were pretty much the same, and the couple went to the county together again, mainly because some daily necessities were gone, such as oil and salt, bamboo salt for brushing teeth, etc. Besides, Hong Haoan was also concerned about Lu Yuan's situation After all, the relationship between the two is relatively good now, and the matter of that year has not yet been settled, so we must pay more attention to it.

Pu Huang would not follow. First, she would go to Hong Haocheng's side to see how they treat Hong Haobao's children, and then go for a stroll around Master Liu's mansion to see if there would be any gains. When the walk is good.She didn't care much about these people. The former was based on an identity issue, while the latter hoped that the mother and daughter would not show up. It would be even better if she could find news that was beneficial to Magistrate Lu.

To Puhuang's surprise, Hong Haocheng not only had only one child, but he did not know where he brought it from. However, judging by Lu's appearance, it should not be abused.The street where Hong Haocheng's store is located is not far from the famous flower street in the county. This flower street is also divided into districts, and the businesses they do are different.

Just as she was about to pass by the intersection of Huajie, Puhuang felt someone tugging at her clothes. She couldn't help frowning, and quickly avoided them. At the same time, she looked warily at the position she was standing just now. There was a slightly familiar person Standing there is the little pickpocket from last time, but she is very embarrassed now.

"What are you doing?" Puhuang said coldly, but her eyes were on Huajie. She seemed to have caught a glimpse of a familiar figure just now, but now she didn't see it again. Could it be that she was dazzled? Isn't that person Xia Shi?
The little pickpocket gritted his teeth, and cupped his hands to bow to Puhuang: "Please, lend me some money to see my grandfather's doctor, and I will repay you in the future."

The quirky little pickpocket from before is gone, but the way she looks to borrow money from herself is not at all like what she would do in her current status. From her point of view, if she is asking her to borrow money, it is usually more convenient to kneel down. Easy to impress, right?
"Why should I believe you?" Pu Huang pouted, no one has curiosity, she admitted that she was curious about this little pickpocket.

The little pickpocket was silent for a while, and didn't speak for a while. Although it was Huajiekou, there were not many people coming and going during the day. When Puhuang was facing a beggar-like person, he would look at him curiously.

Puhuang can completely get rid of this little pickpocket, but she finds that she doesn't want to do it, but she doesn't like being stared at, "Where is your grandpa, take me there, it's not impossible to ask me to borrow money, you If I can take out your valuables as collateral, I will agree, of course, I will not tell others about our deal."

The little pickpocket's face turned pale. She didn't know how Puhuang knew that she had hidden valuables on her body, but such things cannot be seen by others, but at this time she had no choice but to take one step at a time. "Come with me."

If the north of the city is the world of the rich, then the south of the city is the slums. The houses are all low tile-roofed houses, and there are also thatched houses. Passing through the narrow alley, there will always be an unpleasant smell and some strange sounds.

In a stone room at the end of an alley, the door was closed, the pickpocket opened the door, and rushed towards the old man on the bed, "Grandpa, grandpa,..." After calling a few times, she turned around , crying and begging Puhuang, "I beg you, as long as you agree, I can do whatever you want."

The old man dressed in shabby clothes on the bed had abnormal flushing on his face. It was obvious that he was suffering from a cold. It was normal to be sick after so many days of heavy rain. Pu Huang looked at the old man's hand with a thick callus between his thumb and index finger. It's not the position where a farmer holds a hoe and grows calluses. This old man must have a certain skill, why did he end up here?

In Puhuang's view, skilled people are never afraid of running out of food, just as powerful people are not afraid of not being able to find work. She thought about it, if this old man is saved, he can teach him a few tricks or something Also worth it, "What craft does your grandpa know?"

The little pickpocket didn't quite understand what Puhuang meant, so she hesitated, "Carving."

Sculpture, which aspect is it? Uncle Luo Han is good at wood carving and window making, and has already gained a lot of fame in this county. It is said that he has earned a lot of money. It is no wonder that Aunt Hong is not here at all. There are more people living in the village, but at that time, the eldest aunt also said that they would let the family live in their own house and asked her to prepare a few more beds, which made her worry for a while.

"Okay, help your grandfather, I'll take him to the hospital to see a doctor, can he move?" Pu Huang raised her eyebrows and said, she doesn't like physical contact with people, "Go out and call someone if you can't help him help."

Sending people to the medical clinic that I often go to, there is a lot of people in front of each consulting room, coughing loudly, regardless of age and gender, the shopkeeper behind the counter slapped when he saw Puhuang Greeting, he looked at the old man's condition, immediately arranged for a consultation room without a doctor, and then called a doctor over.

The doctor said a lot, to the effect that the old man is weak, and now he has a cold or something, it is dangerous anyway, he must make medicine immediately, and stay here to observe, the little pickpocket burst into tears.

Puhuang and the shopkeeper calculated the consultation fee and medicine fee, then took a look at the pickpocket, and went out to buy a lot of food. Originally, he wanted to go to the north of the city, but it seemed that he had to forget it.It didn't take long before Hong Haoan found him, and he didn't know how he knew he was here. After hearing Puhuang's words, Hong Haoan's thoughts were similar to hers.

Both of them have one thing in common now, it's not that they don't want to do good deeds, but that they hate being taken advantage of by others, and they welcome it if they know how to repay their kindness.

After a bowl of medicine was put down, the old man was sweating not long after, and then Yoyo woke up. Puhuang was not polite, and directly told him his purpose. The old man was surprised at first, then looked at the little pickpocket and nodded. Only then did Puhuang know that the old man was best at micro-carving, especially nuts.

After getting a satisfactory answer, the couple booked a room for the grandpa and grandson in the inn next to the medical hall, paid about the same amount of money, and explained to Xiao Er before going home.As for taking the grandparents home to take care of them or something, that's a joke. People who have met twice are not relatives or friends, so how can they take them home casually.

On the way back, Puhuang mentioned to Hong Hao'an about Xia's possible stay in Huajie. No matter whether he was wrong or not, it is always good to be mentally prepared.That Wang Er's reputation in the village is not very good, and Hong Haobao is so stupid as to treat him as a friend. After all, he should also be the enemy of the Xia family, but he somehow developed and became an adulterer. This change Really dramatic.

Five days later, Puhuang entered the city again, and first went to the Zhenwei Building to deliver the dried fish recipe package, and then hired a car to go to the south of the city. As early as the first time, she put a spiritual imprint on the little pickpocket.

Speaking of which, there were also taxis in ancient times, and the money was calculated according to the distance, and the cart was pulled by a fast but short horse. This car only runs in the city.
