Chapter 244: Self-help after the disaster

The earth from the collapse of the house was used to build a pigsty. The courtyard wall was fenced with tree branches, and there was a temporary dwelling. There are already a few that have moved the things on the roof.

Some people's homestead foundations have collapsed, and although the houses have not collapsed, there are cracks and tilts to varying degrees. The tilt is so strong that it is simply pushed to it. If it's a little tilted, plug the crack with mud, live for the time being, and then flip the lid later.

August entered the rainy season, with a large event in five days and a small event in three days, but there were no cloudy days. After the rain, the sky is clear, and sometimes there is a sunrise in the east and rain in the west.

The group moved everything on the roof back into the house, and although it was covered with plastic sheeting, it was not a long way to stay outside.

There are 13 houses in the village that have collapsed, all of which are decades old. There were floods before, but the foundation of the house in the village was high and did not reach the yard, although it was an earthen house, it was never soaked by floods.

These people simply pushed the house directly. The road to get out of the village was opened, bricks and tiles were bought to rebuild, and for the time being, they settled on the defense platform.

There are two rows of houses on the platform, one row for the school mill and warehouse, and one row is empty.

The cow house and the brigade headquarters in the team were cleaned out. Several of the houses that were used as wards were also vacant. In addition, the house in the wheat field is basically enough for these people to live.

The houses in these teams are all made of mixed bricks, and the inside and outside are smeared with a layer of mud, and they can live in it.

The yard of Yoyo's house has been cleaned, and the house was built with cement wall skin, washed with water to clean the mud that stuck to it, and the house was dried in two days. Dad and Uncle have already moved in.

Youyou and the second master's family are the ones with the least losses in the village. When the second master and Guilian's family built a house, they asked their grandmother to buy cement for them. Although the walls are not plastered with cement, the brick joints fed with cement make the yard basically intact. The pigsty is made of bricks, and it stands upright and does not collapse, so it can be used when it is cleaned.

Han Decai's house was built by the state, and it was also a yard of mixed bricks, but his pigsty was made of earth, and this time it was blistered and collapsed. Everyone used the bricks and tiles on the defense platform to build a pigsty for his house first.

The uncle's house was made of mixed bricks and had no momentum, but the courtyard wall and pigsty were made of earth, which had collapsed and had to be rebuilt. Dad gave him all the bricks left over from his house, and built the pigsty first.

My uncle's house was made of brick and concrete, the earthen walls had collapsed, the courtyard walls had also collapsed, and the house was also a little inclined due to the long time it had been built.

When Grandma saw it, she let them live in the east house of her house, and when she had time, she would re-cover it.

The uncle was going to let his father and mother live in his own house, but the uncle and grandmother were willing to live in Youyou's house. She said to her uncle: "My father and I should live with your aunt, we eat what your aunt bought, and the children are also here, and I can help your aunt if I live here." Besides, your aunt's courtyard is also spacious, and they can live when they come back. ”

Grandma arranged the two east rooms for them, most of the things of the uncle and grandfather's house were placed in the uncle's house, and the six pigs were also placed in the uncle's house, and the aunt and uncle were fed together, anyway, some were feed.

In order to thank the old chief for taking care of the village, everyone cleaned up two houses for the old chief on the defense platform, and prepared to let him come back to live. However, due to the impassability of the road, the county did not agree.

Now, Hantun Village is connected to the embankment, which is the production embankment behind the village. However, because the flood has just gone down, the road from the village to the production embankment is full of more than a foot of thin mud, not to mention cars, and even people can't get through.

However, when it comes to the production embankment, everyone is interested. The dustpan willows on the production embankment grew so well that the new branches grew more than a foot high. Everyone was fine, so they propped up the boat and went to the river beach.

The water in the beach receded on July 20, and unlike the south side of the production embankment, the water in the beach was more rapid, leaving behind a thin layer of sandy soil about 20 centimeters.

The dustpan willow is not afraid of flooding, and after the ground is exposed, it stubbornly pushes out new shoots. It's more than half a foot tall now.

The Yellow River north of Hantun was diverted to the northwest during this flood peak and moved northward as a whole, and the turn in the northeast of Hantun Village became land.

Everyone said that they would let their uncle help him, and then put in some dustpan willow cuttings, and take advantage of the wet ground to insert dustpan willows on the exposed land.

The people in the village are still eating together, and there are still a lot of relief materials given by the superiors, enough for everyone to eat for a while. People are now relieved from the shadow of the flood and are in the mood for a joke.

At noon, everyone had lunch together. Corn and wheat noodles can be eaten at will, potatoes and eggplants stewed in a bowl per person, and a pot of cold cucumbers on each table.

The dining tables of each family are neatly arranged, and benches are placed around them, and everyone sits around them, chatting while eating.

"Unexpectedly, this flood brought us back to the "five or eight years", and this big pot of rice was eaten again. ”

"Gao Gaosan" said: "You are afraid that you will mention five or eight years, I have eaten this big pot of rice for almost a month, why don't I feel that I have not eaten enough." ”

Someone joked with him: "That's your mother who opened a small stove for you, and you can't be hungry for three taels a day, and you can't be hungry for a husband a day." Your mother cooks, of course you don't eat enough. ”

When the "little old mother" heard it, she scolded: "Let your mother's stinky fart, so many buns, why didn't you kill a deflated calf, and you still have time to be blind here." ”

Some people followed: "It's just that I haven't eaten enough, and if I separate, I won't be able to eat the good dishes made by the 'little old mother'." This month, I let the 'little old mother' feed, and I really don't get used to leaving her in the future. ”

There was ambiguity in what was said, and everyone burst into laughter. The "little old mother" is older and good-tempered, so everyone likes to joke with her.

After going back, Yoyo asked his grandmother to take him on a bicycle and went to the river beach along the production embankment. Sure enough, the Yellow River as a whole moved northward, much farther away from the production embankment, and a large area of sandy land was covered with water ripples. Except for the dustpan willow behind Hantun Village, no other plants have grown.

The alfalfa was crushed under the soil layer and could not come out, so it had to be replanted. There is no one on the wide river beach, which is just convenient for leisurely movement.

Youyou're barefoot, running happily. The wet earth, cool soaked, very comfortable. A large number of robots were released, and alfalfa seeds were sprinkled behind Hantun and the stone temple.

Now the temperature is high, the humidity is high, and in a few days, the river beach will be tender green again, and the alfalfa will once again provide forage for everyone.

Everyone rebuilt their homes, and they all wanted grandma to buy building materials, especially cement, and this time the house of Youyou and the second grandfather's family made everyone realize the benefits of cement. Everyone wants to buy some, mainly because everyone has money in their hands.
