Not long after boarding the boat, the wind and rain got heavy again, and Qin Xiang was a little worried. She rarely took a boat, and she rarely encountered wind and waves, so she felt a little uncomfortable. She could only sit on the bed and resist the feeling of nausea.
Xiao Chenyu sat behind her, held her in his arms, and gently rubbed her back.
Qin Xiang, who felt uncomfortable, didn't notice that Xiao Chenyu hadn't spoken much since he was talking to Qin Si's wife.
After finally returning home, the house was in chaos again.
After taking a shower, I changed into clean clothes and drank ginger soup, finally feeling better.
Xiao Chenyu asked Qin Xiang to sit down and rest, and he went to the incense room for Qin Xiang to take a look.
Qin Xiang could see that Su was a little absent-minded, so he pulled her to sit down and told Qin Xiongfei's situation, without saying much else.
Su didn't care about the rest, just nodded and sighed: "Although I have nothing to do with him anymore, he is your father after all. Now that he is in such a situation, I can't say he is sad, but it is impossible to be happy. Forget it, Everyone has his own destiny.”
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she left the room, and Qin Xiang leaned against the bedside in deep thought.
Xiao Chenyu came back and said that Xiangfang was very good and reassured her.
Qin Xiang raised her head and looked at Xiao Chenyu: "Bring me the letter about my mother's life experience. I want to read it."
In fact, the main reason why she hasn't opened it until now is that Qin Xiang is not at ease outside and is afraid that there is something important inside that will affect her mood.
There were not many words on the paper, and Qin Xiang was even disappointed, but one word was mentioned: "Sphenoid bone?"
Xiao Chenyu didn't know what the sphenoid bone was, so he couldn't answer.
"My grandmother was hunted by the sphenoid bone back then? What does this mean?" Qin Xiang had never heard of the sphenoid bone even after resurrecting her life.
Is this a person or an organization?
Su's life was very simple. There was nothing to find out, only her life experience was a mystery.
Qin Xi was silent for a long time, and then asked Xiao Chenyu: "Who do you think my grandmother is?"
"Forget it, don't think about it. Let's continue the investigation when we have the opportunity in the future." Xiao Chenyu soothed softly.
"That's all we can do. Let's hide this and that ledger together first." Qin Xiang gave the letter to Xiao Chenyu and rubbed her forehead again. Why is it getting more and more troublesome?
Everyone gathered together for dinner, which was very lively.
It started to rain again during the night. The rain was heavy and sometimes light, but it never stopped.
It has been raining for five days. The city is fine. Although there is water accumulation, it does not hinder travel.
Xiao Chenyu's face became increasingly ugly, and Liu Xi finally couldn't sit still.
"Brother, I don't know what's going on in Xiaojiacun?" Liu Xi was at home that day. He ran to Xiao Chenyu early in the morning and saw him standing under the eaves watching the patter of rain falling.
In any case, Liu Xi is still worried about his family.
"I also want to visit my parents' graves. The rain is raining like this, and I feel uneasy."
Qin Xiang walked out of the house and looked worriedly at the water that was gradually rising in the yard: "I heard that food in the city is getting more expensive. Fortunately, I saved food before, otherwise I should be panicking."
Liu Xidao: "Yesterday, a lawsuit came to the Yamen. It is said that several rice shops began to stockpile grain and not sell it. If they wanted to buy it, they would have to pay a high price. It had only rained for a few days, so they wanted to raise the price. As a result, they met The brother who was paid to catch the boss had a quarrel with my mother, and finally the quarrel came to the government office. Everyone looked at it happily, but if the matter continues, it will be serious."
After hearing this, Qin Xiang immediately called Li Siniang: "When the rain subsides, arrange for people to go to some rural villages to collect beans and some fruits and vegetables. When they are brought back, they will all be made into pickles or dried vegetables. You can harvest as much as you can." "
"Sister-in-law, don't be so nervous. I think the rain is about to stop. Even if there are some losses in the crop fields, there will be no harvest. Plus, there is still the second half of the year, and there will be a harvest if you replant."
"Liu Xi, there is nothing wrong in being prepared for danger in times of peace and taking precautions before they happen. Just eat these pickled vegetables and dried vegetables slowly, but if there is a real disaster, they will be life-saving things." Qin Xi half retorted, half taught Liu Xi .
"I'll pay for something here and there." Liu Xi touched the back of his head and reached out to touch the broken silver on his body.
"You eat and drink with us, what else can you save?" Xiao Chenyu helplessly looked at the two taels of broken silver in Liu Xi's hand: "Besides, what can I buy with this little bit?"
Liu Xi laughed and felt that it was missing, so he took it back.
Then, he said seriously: "Brother, sister-in-law, I decided to go back to Xiaojiacun for a visit, otherwise I won't feel at ease. You see the bloodshot eyes under my eyes, it's because I haven't been able to sleep well for several days."
Before Qin Xiang could say anything, Xiao Chenyu also said: "Then go hitch the carriage, and I'll go back with you. The house in Xiaojia Village is at the foot of the mountain. It would be terrible if the ditch behind was blocked by mud. I have to go back and clear it before taking a look. Just look at my parents’ graves.”
Qin Xian couldn't stop him and couldn't follow him, so he ordered a few more people to follow him. He also asked Li Siniang and others to bring enough food for several days, just in case they were delayed.
Because the Qijiang River is swollen, you can't take a boat to Fushui Town, so you can only ride a horse-drawn carriage the whole way.
Along the way, I discovered that Fushui Town was even more miserable. The water had flooded many fields, and it was difficult to harvest the crops there.
Liu Xi comforted himself and said: "Fortunately, we harvested some winter wheat before. When the rain stops, we can replant grains, vegetables and fruits. Even if it is more bitter, we can survive."
But Xiao Chenyu was not so optimistic. He remembered that there was another fatal thing: taxes.
After the separation, Xiao Chenyu did not buy any land, but he knew the importance of the land and the pressure of taxation.
Hopefully the rain will stop.
It was already dark when everyone arrived in Fushui Town. They went to the yard where Qin Xiang grew up and settled down.
Originally, Qin Xiong wanted to sell the yard, but later seeing that Su was reluctant to part with it, she stayed. Anyway, she was not afraid of Qin Xiong coming to leave.
There was no one living in the yard for a long time, and there was a smell of mold. Xiao Chenyu led everyone to tidy up for a long time, and then opened the windows to let in the wind. It was almost dark at this time.
Xiao Chenyu thought that he would still find someone to clean the house tomorrow. It would be better if someone lived in it. If no one lived in this house, it would soon be broken down.
The next day, the rain suddenly intensified and everyone could not go out, so they stayed in the yard.
Xiao Chenyu still wore a bamboo hat and went to Xuanmiao Temple to talk to Master Yao for a while. When he came out, he met an old man selling his daughter on the street.
The father and daughter were dragging each other on the street in the heavy rain. The rain hit the old man's face with a sad look on his face, while the daughter was soaked and fell to the ground, begging her father.
There was silence all around, without any pedestrians except for Xiao Chenyu standing at the street entrance.
Suddenly, the girl spotted Xiao Chenyu and stopped struggling. The old man also looked over blankly.
