On August 12, Grandma took Youyou to Linshui to deliver goods to Li Baoguo, and Grandma Wang was waiting for Grandma at home. As soon as we met, she said, "Sister, I've been waiting for you here for a few days, thinking that you will come sooner or later." ”

Grandma asked her, "Sister, is there something wrong with you?"

"It's really something, didn't I ask you to buy a yard for your child in Kyoto? After Wan Jie and the others came back, they said that Wanying helped them find it, and it was a two-entry courtyard, but they only had 50,000 yuan.

Sister, you also know your sister's family background, in the past two years, my sister has earned more than 30,000 yuan with you, I have some gold bars in my hand, I want to wait for you to come, see if you can accept it, this amount is too big, I don't dare to go to the bank to redeem.

Although it is not as strict as before, if I let others know that I can exchange 20,000 yuan for gold bars, I will not think about living a peaceful life in the future. ”

It's true, now that the family has a hundred yuan in savings, it is a solid family, if you know who has tens of thousands of yuan, then you can pay it back.

Grandma also understood Grandma Wang's concerns: "Sister, don't make it difficult, just leave it to me, our sisters have no outsiders, just according to the country's pricing, I can't let you suffer." How much are you going to sell?"

"Sister, this is not good, let's still use the price of 220 yuan, but, sister, in my hands, not only gold bars, but also a lot of jewelry, are all bits and pieces, do you think you can do it?"

After Grandma Wang finished speaking, she took out a satin bag from the back room, which contained dozens of pure gold jewelry, various rings, hat flowers, bracelets, necklaces, and collars.

Grandma looked at these things: "Sister, you have knocked out all the family foundations, the two children are still young, Wan Jie and the others have to go to school for a few years, how will you live in the future." Why don't I ask someone to find you another garden in Kyoto?

Gui Jingang found a courtyard, which was a three-room courtyard house, only 20,000 yuan, and the entire courtyard had nine rooms, which could also be opened. You should still leave these things away, and you can raise the price if you can't say it in the future. Besides, you can't be short of money in your hands, and there are two smaller ones at home. ”

Grandma Wang insisted: "Sister, I have also thought about what you said. But according to the children, that yard is more suitable. Besides, compared to a house, food and clothing can cost a few dollars. In the future, they both have jobs, and they can't afford to support us. Sister, I'll tell you the truth, after buying that yard, I still have a few thousand yuan left. ”

Grandma saw that she had made up her mind, so she said, "Sister, since you have thought about it, I won't stop you." But we have to set the price according to the country, I'll go back and redeem the money, and I'll come back tomorrow. ”

The next day, Grandma Wang took out a total of 60 gold bars, plus more than a pound of scattered gold jewelry, adding up to 2,425 grams of gold, according to the national price of 8.40 yuan per gram, a total of 20,370 yuan.

Grandma Wang kept 20,000 yuan and said that she didn't want a fraction of 370 yuan. Yoyo did the math, and each gram of gold totaled 8.25 yuan.

Grandma asked her, "Sister, are you doing it at home?" Why don't you let the two children come?" ”

Grandma Wang instructed her grandmother: "Sister, I don't want to put more pressure on the children, if they know that I have knocked out all the money, they will not be upset." You help me keep it a secret, don't let them know. ”

Grandma sighed: "Sister, it's a blessing for the two children to have an old man you understand so well." ”

On August 26, the Yellow River suddenly flooded, and the turbulent sound of "wow wow" could be heard in the village. Overnight, there was a sea outside the production embankment.

Before dawn, the flood fighting and rescue team organized by Zhangji Commune arrived, and the people from Hantun Village were replaced and temporarily went home to rest.

Everyone looked at the raging flood, where was they willing to sleep. First of all, the duck sheds of each family were transferred to the defense platform. The pigsty and cattle pen on the defense platform were overhauled, and all the pigs and cattle in the team were transferred to the defense platform.

That night, the flood water came down the pond pit. However, even the village protection forest in front of the village did not overflow, that is, the water in the pond pit was deep, and all the 200 acres of land in front of the village were soaked in water. The road out of the village is left with the one leading to the production embankment behind the village.

The flood water flowed to the production embankment behind Hantun village, and it was blocked. There was water inside and outside the production embankment, and the people who protected the embankment stood on the embankment, looking at the surging flood on both sides, and their legs trembled with fright. In particular, the floating farm implements and livestock in the floodwaters that have come down have deepened people's fears.

The maiden family of the eldest aunt and the second aunt all came, and they helped move things and build duck sheds. When I went back in the evening, my aunt's mother's family dragged Guijin's father and mother away with a car row, after all, the old man's legs and feet were inconvenient.

At 4 o'clock in the morning of the 27th, Uncle Yuan came back, his eyes were bloodshot, and it seemed that he had not slept all night. Seeing that the house was properly arranged, he fell asleep on the kang. Before going to bed, he instructed Uncle Aimin: "Wake me up at half past five." ”

When my aunt saw it, she was distressed, and kept sitting in front of the bed: "I'm looking at the watch here, you all go to sleep." ”

On August 30, the water outside the production embankment receded, revealing the land in the riverbank. Although the peak was only five days long, the Yellow River moved another 200 meters north.

When the people in the village saw it, they were all happy, and everyone said: "This time, our village has 300 acres of land." ”

Leisurely along the riverbank, on the newly added river beach, all the alfalfa seeds were sprinkled, not only in the Hongcheng boundary, but also in the Pingcheng boundary.

In fact, in the past two years, alfalfa seeds have relied on natural dispersion, and alfalfa has grown on more than ten miles of river beaches upstream and downstream of Hantun, but it is sparse and unpleasant.

The water level in the pond pit in front of the village has returned to a depth of more than 2 meters. The roads to the east and south of the village are completely cut off by water.

When the water stabilized, the first thing everyone did was to re-strengthen the barrage on the water adjacent to Shimiao Village, mainly to prevent the ducks fed by the two villages from mixing. The ducks fed by each family were also moved back to the duck shed in the forest guarding the village.

On September 1, the county's armed forces department organized militia to concentrate on salvaging things floating on the water at the production embankment northeast of Hantun Village. The health center also sent people to prevent the epidemic, and the children in the village all ran to see the excitement, and Yoyo took out high-efficiency disinfectants from the mall and ran around secretly.

On September 5, the commune urgently convened a meeting of village-level cadres, and the uncle and grandfather returned from the meeting. Only then did everyone know that the flood overflow was caused by man-made, and the person concerned was Zhang Ji's commune secretary.

He saw that this year's flood was particularly turbid, carrying a large amount of sediment, and learned from the county that the flow of the flood was not large and would not cause major losses, so he had the idea of releasing water to silt up the pond pit.
