"Go and lift the corpse!"
"Okay, okay, I'll hold it up," Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, "It's because you didn't wash yourself. It's not that I didn't get you water. When the fourth child comes back, don't open your eyes and tell lies."
"Gungungun, I can't serve you well if I ask you to, so don't make trouble in front of me."
With these impatient words, something banged on the back of the door.
It seems that Mr. Tan is throwing things at the door again.
Mrs. Liu snorted coldly in her heart, but she still raised her voice and warned Mrs. Tan in the east room: "Then I will go back to the room and go to sleep. If mother has any instructions, just call me. I will be alert when I sleep. When mother calls, I will woke up."
This time, there was no more scolding in the east room.
Ms. Liu didn't even bother to hold up the umbrella. She covered her head with her palms and ran back to the west room opposite. She simply scooped up half a basin of water, scrubbed it casually, went to bed and fell asleep.
Luo family.
It's raining outside, but the rain can't get into the house at all, because there are eaves outside the house, the eaves are very wide, and there are guardrails under the eaves such as lazy people leaning on them.
But those lazy people rarely sit on Yang Ruoqing, and usually use it to place flower pots.
In early summer, all kinds of potted roses, red, yellow and pink, are blooming lively.
There is a birdcage hanging above her head. She is not very good at serving the birds, Luo Fengtang is doing it.
In addition, the several-year-old gardenia tree in the yard has bloomed more flowers this year than in previous years, and the crabapple tree is also growing vigorously.
The rain washed down the yard, making it very lively, but the house was very quiet.
Waves of cool night breeze were sent in from the north-south screen windows, forming convection in the room. The curtains on the bed fluttered gently, and the candlelight on the table trembled slightly, casting Luo Fengtang's reading figure on the wall. The rainy night added a touch of warmth.
Yang Ruoqing came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed, wearing comfortable and breathable white underwear.
"I kept listening to the sound of rain when I was taking a shower, and I had a bad premonition."
She came to the desk, twisted a cleaned fruit on the plate on the table, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and said. Luo Fengtang closed the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"I was a little upset when I heard the sound of rain."
Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows.
Then Luo Fengtang continued: "Today I went to the river behind the village and saw that the water level in the river continues to rise. If the rain continues, there may be a risk of flooding."
Hearing the word "flood", Yang Ruoqing's eyes flashed to the horrific scene of the flood that year.
"The 'long vines and melons' canal diversion model we dug back then should be able to alleviate the problem," Yang Ruoqing said.
The so-called vines and vines refer to the main river and branch rivers.
Melon refers to a dug pond.
The so-called long vines and melons mean that when the river is filled with water, the water will be diverted through these branches into ponds of various sizes for storage, thereby relieving the pressure on the river.
This way, farmland and villages along the river will not be inundated.
However, although these ponds can be used as water storage tanks, they have a certain upper limit.
"If it's really not possible, we can only take precautions in advance." Luo Fengtang suddenly said, "We can't place all our hopes on long vines and melons."
"You're right," Yang Ruoqing also nodded, "Then what are you going to do?"
Luo Fengtang thought for a while, "I want to go to my father-in-law tomorrow. First, I will mobilize strong men in the village, fill the soil bags in advance, and prepare wooden stakes and sand and gravel."
As soon as he mentioned these materials, Yang Ruoqing immediately understood.
"I'm afraid this will require a lot of manpower. Just relying on my father and a few village elders to go door-to-door, it will be good to gather thirty or forty enthusiastic people."
"So, this time I have to ask my father to contact Li Zheng of several nearby villages, and everyone issued a death order. Take our village as an example. There are nearly two hundred households in our village, and each household must provide two young men. Strong labor is a task assigned to each household."
"If someone's young and strong labor force is insufficient, then I will contribute money. In short, this is related to everyone's interests, and everyone must contribute to me!"
The orange light shone on her white silk lingerie. Her face was dyed pink after just taking a bath. Her eyelashes were still wet, and the mist in her bright eyes had not yet dissipated.
She held the edge of the desk with one hand, and put the half-bitten fruit to her lips with her delicate fingers.
She is obviously in the form of such a gentle and charming little woman, but the words she speaks are related to the safety of countless lives and livestock.
Moreover, everything she thought was so thoughtful and cautious, and had the power of thunder, which made Luo Fengtang look at her with even more admiration.
She is truly worthy of being my Luo Fengtang’s woman!
"You're pregnant, don't worry about these things, I'll make arrangements." He said.
Yang Ruoqing saw the fondness in his eyes and smiled shyly.
He had already stood up and came over to hug her shoulders: "It's getting late. You go to bed and rest first. I'll come after taking a shower."
Yang Ruoqing's eyes changed, "Okay, hurry up and wash it, I'll prepare clothes for you."
When handing him a quick change of clothes, Yang Ruoqing blinked deliberately.
"Wash a little longer and make it a little cleaner."
Luo Fengtang's eyes dimmed, as if he understood something, he squeezed her waist gently and smiled ambiguously, "Yeah!"
He took the clothes and entered the bathroom, leaving Yang Ruoqing standing there confused.
Did I say something? What have you done?
Why is he smiling so ambiguously?
Forehead……
However, it might as well be that he was wrong. He stayed in the bathroom for a while to free up her time to go out and do other things.
Yang Ruoqing opened the cupboard door, took out a set of rainproof black night clothes, then covered her mouth and nose with a black veil and a bamboo hat on her head, and walked quietly from the backyard.
Some people may ask, doesn't the Luo family have guards? Wouldn't her strange attire attract the attention of the guards and lead to her being stopped?
Indeed, the Luo family has guards.
When Luo Fengtang was not at home, guards covered the front and back yards.
When Luo Fengtang was at home, the coverage area of the guards was limited to the small house where Tuoba Xian was located.
Even if a guard comes to patrol here on a temporary basis, it doesn't matter. Yang Ruoqing pulls the veil down a little and scans her face to pass.
It was raining, quite hard, and there was no one outside. It was a good opportunity for Yang Ruoqing to take action.
Where is she going?
Keep it a secret for now!
…
The next morning, the rain had eased a lot, and Yang Ruoqing had a leisurely breakfast and went to visit her parents' house next door.
But they found that the breakfast bowls and chopsticks were still on the table. Sun was holding a bowl of corn porridge and eating it with cold salted sweet potato leaves and brine dried seeds. Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei were beside her.
Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei didn't know what they were discussing. Both of their faces were worried.
"What's going on? Are you having a tea party early in the morning?"
