In the blink of an eye, May has arrived, the flood season of the Huai River has arrived, and every household in Weijiazhuang Village has arrived, except for the lonely, widowed, and young, and no male support, the rest of the families have to pump people to the embankment. Wei Yunhai's family was just a pillar of his family, and he was pulled out.

Zhang Xing was really impressed by the flooding of the Huai River last year, and her heart was like a tight string, always tense, and every time she brought food to Wei Yunhai, she would climb up the river embankment to take a look. In May, the water level of the Huai River is higher than one day, and the wharves of various counties and towns have been suspended. Under the embankment here are oilcloth sheds guarding the embankment, and the villagers are either carrying shovels or wearing water shoes, looking at the embankment under their feet inch by inch.

Wei Yunhai said that this year's rain is much less than last year's, and the water level of the Huai River is not high. However, Zhang Xing didn't dare to believe it all, because last year's experience was too painful. On the day of Wei Yunhai's embankment, she began to prepare things, the Li dry cakes of the stone family, she burned the amount of the family's head and feet for more than ten days, and prepared a lot of other food and things, she put a burden on everyone in the family, even the five-year-old Zhang Jinbao is no exception, there are three days of food in the baggage, in case of accidents.

Ye Hexiang saw her pancakes with all the rice and noodles at home, and she was so angry that she jumped to her feet, saying that she was a loser and was worrying about it. Zhang Xing doesn't care, she has no second home to go without. If it is water, she hopes that last year's tragedy will not be experienced again. If it is peaceful, these things that are eaten and used are not still edible and usable. It's always good to be prepared.

In mid-May, when everyone thought it was going to be a peaceful year. Heavy rain suddenly came overnight, and many low-lying areas of Weijiazhuang were flooded. The water level of the Huai River has risen sharply to the embankment, and many sections have begun to overflow. He Yonghua, who is in Zhanghe Town, called on all villages under his jurisdiction to send more people to the embankment. Stationed on the high embankment, intensify patrols.

After a few days of rain, Wei Yunhai had not returned home for many days, and Ye Hexiang no longer said that Zhang Xing was wasting food. She brought some new vegetables from the field back to her mother's home, but she came up empty. The whole family of Ye Yunqing's family had already gone to Yuxian a few days earlier.

Ye Hexiang came back dejected and began to pack some things.

Weijiazhuang's private school has been on vacation, and I heard that Mr. Liu has gone to Zhanghe Town.

Uncle Fu asked his buddy Hu Chunlai to come to Weijiazhuang to pick up Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu. Wei Yunhai said unhappily: "He Lizheng's family is in the town, and he and his son are on the embankment every day." None of them panicked, what are we anxious about?"

Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu didn't leave because of their partners in the village, but Wei Yunhai was right, He Lizheng and He Yuanqing were still on the embankment, and they were about the same age as He Yuanqing, and everyone was on the embankment, how could they go?

Ye Hexiang saw that Wei Yunhai asked Hu Chunlai to catch the empty car back, and she was so angry that she almost vomited blood, and all persuasions were ineffective. had to pull Zhang Jinbao off the carriage.

Zhang Xing felt in his heart, this He Lizheng is indeed a talent, and this mobilization work is really good.

Even Ye Hexiang died down, what else did she have to say? Naturally, she had to stay. The three men of the Wei family all went up to the embankment. Ye Hexiang was terrified, if she came up to the embankment, she was afraid that she would not be able to stand. This task of delivering food can only be her.

Zhang Xing hit an oil umbrella. Pulled the basket and walked through the drizzle. These days, she comes over every day to deliver food. The villagers on the embankment are also familiar, and someone from afar shouted: "Apricots." You're here to bring your uncle food again?"

Zhang Xing responded with a smile, "Did Uncle Wei eat it?" If not, come over and use it." I brought a lot of them. ”

The food made by Zhang Xing has been eaten by many people on this embankment, and the person immediately smiled and responded: "It's good, it's good." Then he pointed to the embankment and said, "Your uncle and eldest brother and second brother are all on the embankment, this road is not easy to walk, I will call you." With that, he climbed up to the embankment.

Zhang Xing came to the oil shed where Wei Yunhai lived, it was a mess, and the socks and water glasses were placed on the low table next to the collapse, and the bed was covered with mud. She put down the basket, changed the cover on the bed, cleaned the table, lit the stove again, and scooped up the rice for the pot - the people who guard the river embankment are all neighbors, and they will exchange vegetables from time to time, and the three men of the Wei family are all big stomachs, and the meals she sent a few times at the beginning were always not enough, and then she learned to be well-behaved, only bringing vegetables, enough for five or six people, and the rice was cooked in the pot on the spot.

After a while, Wei Minwu's shouting came from outside, and Zhang Xing shouted while lifting the curtain: "Second brother......"

It was not Wei Yunhai and Wei Minwen Wei Minwu who came in head-on, but He Yonghua in Zhanghe Town, behind him stood his son He Yuanqing, Wei Yunhai stood behind He Yonghua, and Wei Minwen and Wei Minwu stood next to He Yuanqing.

Zhang Xing went to the embankment every day to deliver food, and naturally saw He Yonghua in Zhanghe Town, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately smiled and shouted: "Uncle Lizheng." ”

He Yonghua is a thin middle-aged man, his face is somewhat similar to He Yuanqing, only one is an elegant uncle who is haggard and aging, and the other is an elegant young man who is just young.

He Yonghua also nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that you sent more food, do you have Uncle He's share?"

Zhang Xing looked behind them, hugging the six or seven people who were shouting, after she left three or four people to divide the dishes today, she thought that she was afraid that someone would have no one to send food, so she also brought the leftovers from the family, just enough for six or seven to eat.

"Yes, as long as Uncle Lizheng doesn't dislike what I make is unpalatable. Zhang Xing said with a smile.

The person who went to Wei Yunhai before was also a person from Weijiazhuang, and he was also a relative of Wei Yunhai's own family, named Wei Yunjia, because there was only one old lady with inconvenient legs and feet in the family, and he couldn't walk far, so he didn't eat Zhang Xing's cheap meals in the past few days. Hearing Zhang Xing's words, Wei Yun's family immediately shouted: "The food made by our Xing'er is better than that made by the master of Juyuanlou in Zhanghe Town." ”

Zhang Xing immediately felt that a pair of eyes were looking at her, she looked up, He Yuanqing smiled at her, coughed lightly, turned to He Yonghua and said, "This, I can testify." ”

"Yes, then I will have a blessed mouth today. He Yonghua said with a smile.

Zhang Xing moved out a small stool, "Uncle Lizheng will sit down for a while, and when the rice in the pot is ready, you can eat."

Wei Yunhai also woke up, and asked Zhang Xing to just watch the stove, because the oil shed was not big enough, and it happened that the rain stopped outside, so he moved the low table outside from the collapsed side, and borrowed a low table and a few stools from the shed next door to build a decent dining table.

The rice has already been put into the pot, just boil it and turn it over, in the past, Zhang Xing cooked dry rice, but today there are many people, and the rice is early, so it has to be boiled thicker, so that it can be eaten. The vegetables were enough for six or seven people, but Zhang Xing was still a little worried, there were no ingredients in the oil shed, but there were many wild vegetables on the river embankment. Zhang Xing asked Wei Minwen to look at the stove, and he took the basket to the river embankment and picked a large handful of wild celery.

The river water had overflowed to the embankment, Zhang Xing washed it in the river, and when she got up, she was a little anxious, and she slipped under her feet and almost fell down.

She looked at the river flowing eastward, settled her mind, and said to He Yuanqing, who was holding her behind her, "Thank you, Young Master He." ”

He Yuanqing smiled, revealing his white teeth, "Be careful, the water is shallow here, but in fact, the whirlpool is very urgent, and it is difficult to climb up if you fall down." ”

Zhang Xing cautiously stayed away from the river and went to the oil shed under the river embankment. He Yuanqing was behind her and asked, "I heard that your recipe for dried mushrooms and bacon last time sold for five taels of silver?"

"yes. Zhang Xing smiled and said, "You have eaten it, do you think this recipe is worth the money?"

He Yuanqing smiled, "Do you know how much the dried mushroom bacon in Juyuanlou sells for a pot now?"

"How much?" Zhang Xing asked curiously.

He Yuanqing stretched out a finger, "Half a tael of silver and a pot are still in short supply." ”

Chapter Apricot Order. He Yuanqing looked at her with her mouth half open, looking at herself with two pairs of big black eyes, suddenly felt itchy hands, resisted the urge to knock on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Do you say it's worth it?"

Zhang Xing was extremely remorseful and said bitterly: "I lost." "What's more, it's a big loss, their family can buy a stone of rice for half a tael of silver, and a pot of vegetables in this Juyuanlou is enough for their family to eat for several days, if she knew this, she should have offered more prices."

"I also heard that Juyuanlou is now collecting mushrooms everywhere, and although there are people selling them in Zhanghe Town, they are always unsatisfactory. A few days ago, you asked me where your family lives. He Yuanqing said again, "However, I didn't say it. "Anyway, the mushrooms near Weijiazhuang are estimated to be gone, and she can't sell them.

"Tell them, tell them. Zhang Xing said with a smile. These days, under Wei Minwen's unprecedentedly high labor enthusiasm, her family's mushrooms have a half-back basket again, and now the water is big, and the mushroom-picking woods are soaked under the water, and they can't pick anything when they come. She wasn't afraid at all.

He Yuanqing turned his head to look at Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing pointed to the woods not far away and said, "Ah, that's where I found my mushrooms." "The young master of the Li Zheng family will not be short of this money, and she is not afraid to tell him.

He Yuanqing glanced at it from afar, was stunned, and chuckled. The two walked while talking, and soon arrived at the oil shed, Zhang Xing found that there were more people in front of the oil shed than before, and he was secretly glad in his heart, thanks to his early knowledge. The rice has been cooked, the three pots of vegetables are on the table, He Yonghua is sitting down on the main seat, Wei Yunhai is already sitting on both sides, Wei Minwen is serving rice, and Wei Minwu is serving rice. Wei Yunhai greeted with a smile: "Young Master He, please sit here." ”

He Yuanqing refused to sit in front, pushed and gave in to Wei Yunhai, and after pressing Wei Yunhai to his position, he sat at the end.

Zhang Xing pinched the wild celery into small pieces, and there was only oil and salt in the oil shed, so she burned a plate of vegetarian celery on a large fire. When the food was served, several people at the table were eating silently, and there was not much left of the three pots of vegetables.

The sky was clear, and the sun came out, dyeing the western sky red. Zhang Xing expected that after the people at the table finished eating, they must have something to say. Li Zheng and the villagers are at the same table, this opportunity is rare, Wei Yunhai must be asking about the current flood control situation. She also wanted to know about the road. So he washed the pot, boiled a pot of hot water, and prepared them to eat and drink. (To be continued......)
