Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 117
Hearing Shitou Niang talk about Yang Feng before, he felt that this person was a little selfish, but he didn't expect that he would be so fond of confusing right and wrong.As for the quarrel between the two at home, I don't know how Yang Yizhi, the village head, handled it at that time.

Shitou's mother said: "Father was not at home at the time, and mother was a little angry at first. Later, she saw that the two of them were blushing and their necks were thick after arguing, so she helped to persuade them."

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, no matter how wrong Yang Feng said, Grandma Shitou doesn't want the two brothers to fall out.

So I persuaded her a few words: "Don't be angry anymore. If you are angry, it's your own body. It's the first time we have no way out. We don't know where to sell it. That's why we found him. If you really want to continue to do it in the future For this business, let's find another way by ourselves, there is no one in this world who doesn't love money, there are always people who are willing to cooperate."

Shitou Niang nodded, her expression softened a lot.

The two sat in the main room and talked for a while. Shitou Niang felt that it was time to go back after sitting, so she said hello, put on her coir raincoat and stepped into the pond in the yard, and stood at the door of the main room with a bend. She shouted: "You take the stone road, no muddy water."

Shitou Niang didn't look back, her words were drowned in the sound of rain, but she heard Wan Wan's words, and when she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she looked back at the stone road behind her, and said something to Wan Wan who was lying at the door of the house with a smile. What.

Wan Wan didn't hear clearly, but from the movement of her eyes and the shape of her mouth, she guessed that she should be saying that the stone road is easy to walk.

It's hard to do anything when it rains.Wan Wan was weak, Bai Shou asked her to cook at home, and he and Lai Sheng wore coir raincoats and went to the mountains to cut pig grass in the rain.At this time, it is not like modern times, the economy is good, and pig food is very easy to make.People don't eat the dishes that are slightly worse, and they are all used to feed pigs.

Now everyone dare not do this.The family eats rice bought at the market, so there is no bran in the house.I can only go to the mountains to cut various things every day, bring them back, cook them and feed them to the pigs.I haven't been to the market in the past few days, and I don't have much rice left, so I ate several meals of pancakes.

It seems that there is only cake to eat today, Wanwan went to the kitchen to make noodles first, before Baishou and Laisheng came back, they went around the back of the house to check the pigsty and chicken coop.

On the second day when it rained, Baishou dug a small ditch in front of the pigsty and chicken coop. The rainwater flowed outside along the shallow ditch through the hole. Boxes were hooked up in the vegetable garden, and drainage was made between each row of vegetables.

But just now she went to see that those small ditches were filled with water, and the drainage speed of the holes was far slower than God's water injection speed.

The pigsty is okay, the land was filled up when it was repaired there, but the situation on the chicken coop is not so good.The water has already flooded into the chicken coop, and the chickens are all curled up in the corner.

What was even worse was the vegetable garden. The box with the hook didn’t work at all. It was full of water, and all the peppers she planted were soaked in the water. Wanwan said to herself, this is over, if this continues, the peppers she planted so hard will be completely destroyed. .

Immediately went to the drainage hole next to the vegetable garden to check, but the water was blocked there as if it hadn't moved.I was shocked, maybe the outside of the cave was blocked.He hurriedly took the hoe and put on the coir raincoat and went out of the yard.

After walking out of the yard and walking on the road, she realized that the wind and rain were really serious, the wind whistling in her ears, and the rain slanting on her face almost blinded her eyes. Also cover the hair.

After walking behind the wall, she was stunned when she saw Li Dazhi's family.

Everyone in the Li family was busy in the yard in coir raincoats. Li Dazhi and Li Dashi were holding things at the door and pouring water out of the yard, while his mother was busy in the main room, and his father took the long broom and poured the water from the yard into the courtyard. Sweep at the gate of the courtyard so that the two brothers can scoop.

Turns out her home wasn't the worst.

Without looking again, Wanwan found the drainage hole with a hoe.

Because when the house was being repaired, Baishou had discussed with Li Dazhi's father and dug a ditch outside the courtyard wall. This ditch came out from Li's house and flowed directly to another ditch outside.The purpose is to prevent the weather, which is beneficial to both families, so Dazhi's father complied immediately.

Thanks to this ditch in the past few days, the water from Li's house and the yard flowed out along the ditch.

But today the water in the ditch has risen again, and the water in the ditch has reached the level of the drainage hole in Wanwan's house.Moreover, the entrance of the cave is blocked by sludge, so it is no wonder that the water in the vegetable garden cannot flow out.

Wan Wan hurriedly stepped under the corner of the wall, stepped on the ditch bank with both feet, and started to clean up the mud at the entrance of the cave with a hoe.The outside was cleared in a short while, but the hole was still blocked, and the hoe couldn't get in, so she had to throw the hoe aside, raised the trousers a little higher, stepped into the ditch, bent down and started digging out with her hands. Mud in the hole.

The thick dark clouds in the sky were pressing down on the top, and the rain was still pouring down. The rain dripped down the coir raincoat onto her clothes. Unlike modern raincoats, the coir coir raincoat could cover her from head to toe. , the lower body will naturally get wet.

Maybe the mud from the vegetable garden was washed to the entrance of the cave, and it took a long time for Wanwan to clear the mud inside. She couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain on her face.

The cold water flowed down the neck into the clothes, and she didn't realize that her back was soaked until she felt her back was getting cold.

Sadly, the hole was empty and the water coming out was still very small.

At this time, someone suddenly pulled her from behind, turned her head, Li Dazhi was wearing a coir raincoat, his clothes were half wet, looked at her with water on his face, and asked loudly, "What are you doing?"

Wanwan looked at the drainage hole, and said loudly: "There is water in the vegetable garden, and it can't be drained out."

"You come up." As soon as the words fell, Li Dazhi had already pulled her up and helped her up, then stepped into the ditch by himself, bent down and began to check the opening of the hole.

At this moment, Wanwan found that almost no place on his back was dry.

Soon, Li Dazhi raised his head: "It should be blocked inside."

He stepped up and picked up the crooked hoe that was thrown on the ground and walked towards her house.

Wanwan was stunned for a moment, but didn't care so much, and immediately followed.

Li Dazhi planed the mud around the hole in the vegetable garden, and the water immediately rushed out.Then he went around to the back of the house to take a look, and the water in the gutter had begun to overflow.

Looking at Wan Wan, he said, "This won't work. If we don't drain the water from the ditch, it won't be long before the chicken coop and the pigsty will swell."

What about chores?
Bend was a little panicked.

Just then a voice came from behind: 'What's wrong? "The calm voice has a calming power in the wind and rain.

Wanwan was overjoyed, turned around and saw Baishou walking over wet in a coir raincoat, and hurriedly said: "I just cleaned up the drainage hole in the vegetable garden, but look at the water in this ditch, it will keep raining like this, the chicken coop and the pigs What about the miscellaneous office?"

Baishou frowned and glanced, the rain today was heavier than yesterday, he didn't expect the situation to turn so bad.

Walking to the vegetable garden, he said in a deep voice, "Now we just need to dig a ditch from the side of the cowshed and bring the water into the yard." Then he picked up the hoe and started working.

This method is fine, and it is better to lead it to the yard than to flood the vegetable garden and chicken coop and pigsty!
With the help of Li Dazhi, it didn't take much time to dig it. The water flowed into the yard, and the burden on the ditch in the backyard was relieved.

Li Dazhi left after helping dig the ditch, and Wan Wan didn't have time to thank him.

She hurried back to the house to get some dry clothes for Baishou to change into.I also changed my clothes, I changed my clothes in the next life, and I was boiling water in the kitchen.

After thinking about it, she washed out another pot and boiled some ginger soup. The three of them immediately felt much warmer after drinking it.After the hot water was ready, all three of them wiped their bodies before starting to eat.

Looking at the non-stop rain outside, Wan Wan was really worried: "It has been raining for seven or eight days, and it still doesn't stop? If this continues, the house will flood."

Baishou also nodded worriedly: "It's been many years since there was such a heavy rain." Fortunately, Wanwan was thoughtful to widen and heighten the aisle under the eaves, otherwise their house would have been flooded.Thinking of the field, his face became more worried: "The house is flooded and there is a way to drain the water, but the crops in the field..."

Wan Wan was also shocked, she was so busy at home that she forgot about the outside world, if she went down again, the crop harvest this year would be miserable.I can't help but silently pray to God in my heart to stop and stop!
At night, the rain was much lighter. On the second day, the strong wind and heavy rain were gone, and there was a drizzle in the sky.Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood improved a lot.

Taking advantage of the rain, Baishou hurriedly took Laisheng to cut pigweed.The rainwater in the small ditch behind the house is draining out along the road.Wanwan took a long broom and swept the deep water in the yard towards several drainage holes in the yard.Draining some water in the yard, sitting at home and getting up without any problems, thinking of the things I bought a few days ago, I immediately took them out and started cooking sour plum soup in the kitchen.

This is the last time I saw Wang Baoshan buying sour plums for plums at the market, and she bought some on a whim. She didn't have time to cook the things at home, so she cooked the sour plum soup, and it would be nice to have Baishou and Laisheng back later. Hot soup to drink.

After working for a while, she cooked a big pot of sour plum soup. She scooped up some and tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and the taste was not bad!Thinking that Meizi was feeling sick at this time, she took a large bowl and scooped out half of it, then covered the pot, and went to Meizi's house in a coir raincoat with the bowl in hand.

There was no one on the road, and I stepped on the muddy village road. When I lifted it up, I couldn't see the original color of the straw sandals, and my feet were full of mud!Turning the corner, she saw water splashing from the yard onto the road from a long distance away.

She was really dumbfounded when she arrived at the gate of Wang Baoshan's house.

The rain in the yard can reach ankles. Wang Baoshan and his father are wearing coir raincoats, trousers and sleeves rolled up, scooping water out of the yard with household picks.

The heavy rain stopped last night, why is there still such deep water in their house?

Seeing Wanwan, Wang Baoshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately invited her into the room. She entered the main room by herself, and the floor in the room was wet, not only the main room, but also the room where Meizi slept. The four feet of the box are all wet.

She looked at Meizi lying on the bed in surprise: "Your house isn't even flooded, is it?"

Meizi nodded helplessly, her house was indeed flooded, luckily the heavy rain stopped last night, otherwise she would be sleeping on the water right now!
