"Qing'er, since you advised us to take the pigs elsewhere, have you already found a place for us?"
Lao Suntou asked again.
Based on the old man's understanding of his granddaughter, it is impossible for the granddaughter to just ask questions and not help solve them.
Sure enough, Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "How is the Xiang family's pasture?"
Xiangjia pasture?
Lao Suntou's eyes immediately lit up.
That place is at the foot of the mountain, and the terrain is high. If even the grassland is flooded, then the entire Changping Village may even be flooded with the pavilion on the Luo family's rockery, and the entire area will be annihilated. What's the point?
Moreover, the pasture is large enough to accommodate more than fifty pigs.
Unlike cows, pigs don't need to be let out to graze. They only need a few pig pens to house them.
Old Suntou was familiar with the Xiang family pasture. There were several cowsheds along the west side that were vacant. It would be a good idea for the pigs to move there!
"Qing'er, the grassland is really the best place to go, but it will disturb the Xiang family..."
"Don't worry, Mr. Ga. We are all real relatives. I have already sent a letter to Duo'er and the cattle dealer's uncle about this matter. They all know that Duo'er is cleaning the pig pen. I will send the message after finishing it. come over."
"Ah? Are you all angry?" Lao Suntou was really surprised now.
Next to him, Da Sun returned to heaven from the anxious hell, with relaxation in his face and eyes.
"Qing'er, it turns out you've made all the arrangements? Why do you think you're such a kid? You're making my aunt so anxious!"
"Oh, let's go to the pasture. As long as these pigs are found, we won't be in a hurry. We can pick up a few clothes and run away at any time."
Lao Suntou nodded. Those tables, chairs, pots and pans, etc., can't be taken with him.
As long as a few key things are preserved, there will be no need to worry about running out of firewood if the green hills remain!
The problem of the Sun family was solved. The eldest Sun went back to clean up the pig pen, while the old Sun planned to go to the pasture first.
He couldn't let Xiaoduo and the others clean up the pig pen, he had to go and arrange it himself.
Of course, it was absolutely impossible for Lao Suntou to go to the grassland empty-handed. After returning home, he carried a jar of soju and a few kilograms of pork belly, and then rushed to the grassland happily.
In the village, after repeated lobbying by Yang Huazhong and others, 50% of the families were already packing their things and preparing to go to the resettlement site.
Among the remaining people, 30% are waiting and watching, and 20% are resisting.
The 20% of people also want to persuade the remaining 30% to stay with them, so there are various theories in the village.
Especially when you are washing by the pond in the morning, you can hear all kinds of noises. Among them, the loudest complaints are from Jiang Er's family.
Xian Junniang was waving her mallet vigorously and beating her clothes, while speaking loudly to the other washing women next to her about the disadvantages of migration.
"On this hot day, everyone didn't sleep on their own bamboo beds and mats. They had to go and squeeze into the tent with others. It was noisy and there were a lot of mosquitoes."
"With so many people, it's not convenient to take a shower or change clothes, and it's even more troublesome to make a fire to cook."
"Some people are naughty and peek at our wives and daughters bathing. Some people have unclean hands and feet and fish in troubled waters. If they move to a resettlement site, they are looking for trouble. It is better to stay at home and be safe!"
Some people agree with Xian Junniang's words. Indeed, everything at home is ready-made, so moving to a resettlement site is a lot of inconvenience.
But some people disagree with Xian Junniang's statement.
"If the river embankment breaks and water enters the village, can you still sleep in the bed at home?"
"Many houses in our village are made of yellow mud bricks. When they get older and soaked by rain, half of the walls may collapse and their lives may not be saved."
"Is it harder to be bitten by a mosquito? Or is it harder to lose your life? Weigh it yourself!"
A woman nearby also echoed, "The water has entered the house and nothing at home can be used. It's better to go to the resettlement site. Just make some noise. There are many people and it's fun."
Xian Junniang sneered at their words, "The situation you mentioned does not account for 10% of the cases. Our houses have been exposed to the sun and wind all year round without collapsing. Could it be that they collapsed after being soaked in rain for a few days? They are just papery. ?”
"Mother Xianjun, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst. Especially since your father, Xianjun, is in that situation. Moving before bed is too troublesome, so your family needs to make plans in advance."
"Put away your bad intentions. A golden nest or a silver nest is not as good as your own doghouse. I won't move. You are the only ones who have no brains. You will do what others say. If you are told to go east, don't dare to run west. If you have brains On my own neck!"
"Stop trying to persuade her. Let her figure it out on her own. If something happens later, don't blame us for not reminding her."
"You don't need to remind me, I'm not moving. What if there's a thief in the house after I've moved out?"
"Yes, yes, your Jiang family has a house full of gold mines. The whole village is worried about it. You should go back and take a look!"
"Bah, I can't get along with you brainless people. You are all being led by the Luo family and the Lao Yang family. The Jiang family won't move even if they are beaten to death!"
"This is what you said, don't move, you must hold on!"
Xian Junniang had a messy quarrel with the women and returned home angrily, carrying a basin and bucket.
When she walked on the front foot, the women started talking about it.
"Junniang was too stupid to wash her first. The feces and urine on Jiang Er's big pants were thrown back into the bucket before they were cleaned."
"Ah? You've seen all this. You have really sharp eyes."
"Can you not see it? You're washing next to me. This Jiang Er is really pitiful. It's a shame to have such a paralyzed woman in the stall."
"Others are busy packing up their belongings and moving to the resettlement site early, so that they can feel at ease. She doesn't know what to think. Isn't she worried that something might happen to Jiang Er when the water comes?"
"Ha, maybe she is still hoping that something will happen to Jiang Er. If she is stuck like this, maybe she still wants to be a comfortable widow."
"She doesn't want to move, and I actually know why."
At this time, a woman who lived near Jiang Er's house spoke up.
"What's the reason?"
"Her Jiang Xianjun's house was repainted a while ago by craftsmen. They also had the wedding bed, tables and chairs in preparation. They are preparing to welcome their daughter-in-law in!"
"Bringing my wife in? Isn't it too early? Didn't you say that the wedding date will be next year?"
"I heard rumors that it might be possible to receive him next month."
"Next month? That can't happen. It's the ghost month. How can anyone celebrate the ghost month? It's unlucky!"
"Wait a minute, why are you in such a hurry to bring your wife in? Could it be..."
The words "Fengzi and Marriage" were on everyone's lips, but no one took the initiative to say it.
This group of seemingly tough women actually have their own particular values. The man and woman were together before marriage and were pregnant with a child. It would be disgraceful for this to spread.
