In the middle of the night, Erya understood the power of this child, slept enough of the child, did not sleep in the middle of the night, and cried with full momentum.

Xiaohu fumbled to light the small oil lamp and asked nervously, "Are you sick?" ”

Erya touched the baby's forehead, hands and feet, and shook her head: "No! I guess I slept well during the day, but now I don't want to sleep, and there is no one to play with him, so it's noisy! This is the temperament of Crying Yelang! ”

Xiaohu was very tired during the day, and now he really wants to sleep, so he doesn't want to believe that the child is a crying nightman, and only thinks about whether it will be other reasons.

"Could it be that he is used to being wrapped! Do you give dressing and he is uncomfortable? ”

Er Ya listened to his indifferent words, and didn't want to pay attention to him. Wen Yue was also woken up by crying, so he wanted to cry. Xiaohu had no choice but to coax Wen Yue. "Don't cry! The little brother misses his mother, so he cries, you can't cry, or your mother won't want you! ”

It's okay if he doesn't coax, but in one sentence, he made Wen Yue cry more and more, and the second girl was so angry that he twisted Xiaohu's waist fiercely, and the painful Xiaohu didn't feel sleepy at all.

≡. The little baby, who was originally crying happily, was attracted by Wen Yue's howl, turned his swarthy little eyes, and looked everywhere.

Erya looked at Xiaohu and said, "See it!" This is the typical crying night lang! Sleep day and night crying, someone plays with him, and he is fine! ”

Xiaohu muttered, "I can't take him to play, there are a lot of things to do tomorrow!" ”

"I didn't say you should take him, why are you nervous?!" Erya turned on the light a little bit, and said to Xiaohu: "You go and sleep with Wen Chao and Xiaolong!" I'll just do it here. ”

Xiaohu was embarrassed to leave it to his daughter-in-law, but when he thought that he would have a lot to do tomorrow, he answered, took his clothes and went to Xiaolong's house opposite.

Erya lit the lamp and coaxed Wen Yue not to cry. Wen Yue woke up crying, and he didn't want to sleep, so he played with the baby in bed. The two children laughed at me, you said me, oh, the fun was delicious, and the second girl watched it for a while, and couldn't stand it. I don't know if I fell asleep, and I don't know how long the two children played, and I fell asleep by myself.

Xiaohu got up early, and after seeing the guests in the cottage, he went to the kitchen to prepare porridge. When I arrived in the kitchen, I saw that Erya was already busy, and asked in surprise, "You haven't slept all night?" ”

"Sleep! After you left, I fell asleep after a while. ”

Xiaohu was unconvinced: "They didn't cry? ”

"No! Two little guys, it's a good time! After that, they slept on their own. I don't have to coax! ”

Xiaohu was angry and said hatefully: "With this kid, you just won't let me sleep!" Or did I rescue him, and he couldn't tolerate me! ”

The second girl smiled very brightly, "Hahaha! Now you know you're a stinky man, right?! As he spoke, he turned the conversation around and asked Xiaohu, "Have you been to see that person?" Can you have a fever, illness, or something? ”

Xiaohu shook his head, "No! Okay! Didn't you boil the medicine for him to drink last night! He said he had slept all night and felt fine today. It's the panic of hunger. ”

Erya looked at the rice porridge that had just been boiled in the pot, and it was thick and sticky. It would take a while, so he said to Xiaohu: "Oh! That can't be helped, you'll have to ask him to wait a while, and when the porridge can be boiled over a small firewood fire, I can stick the tortillas! ”

"Okay, I'll tell him later." Xiaohu washed his hands. From the kimchi jar, I grabbed a handful of pickled lentils, two or three long cowpeas, and one or two pickled green peppers.

He took out five salted duck eggs from the salted egg jar, washed the yellow mud on the surface, put them in a stir-fry pot outside, and added them with a scoop of water. Said to the second girl who was burning the fire: "Daughter-in-law! Burn the pot on the outside. I just put a few salted duck eggs in there. ”

"Good!" The second girl responded by separating the firewood from the porridge pot stove and putting it in the pot stove outside.

Before breakfast was ready, the second girl followed his father and two younger brothers.

As soon as the second girl entered the door and saw the second girl who was busy under the eaves, she asked out loud: "Second girl, were you scared yesterday?" Is your house flooded? ”

Erya was grinding corn syrup on the eaves of the porch, and suddenly heard her mother speak, and she was startled!

When I looked up and saw that my father and brother were coming, I hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Mother! Look at you really good at talking, is your daughter scared, so easy to be scared? Dad, Huifu, Huigui, you go into the house and sit, Xiaohu is busy with livestock in the backyard, and he will come out in a while. ”

Her father saw that the house didn't look like it was flooded, so he happily chatted with the second girl: "I said your house is fine!" Your mother didn't listen, she was coming yesterday, but I stopped her. The corners of your stone walls are not something that ordinary floods can do! As he spoke, he kicked the root of the wall with his foot.

The family of four turned around and was about to go back, and Xiaohu wanted to stay as a guest: "Father, mother, you have breakfast here and then leave, this is almost ready!" ”

The second girl shook her hand, "No! Your grandparents are still waiting for me to go back! I just didn't worry about you, so I asked your two younger brothers to send us over to have a look, and now I'm relieved, so I'll go back! ”

Anyway, it's close, and you can come and go at any time, so Erya didn't stay, and immediately sent her father and younger brother out.

After breakfast, the man was going back, "Big brother and sister-in-law!" Thank you for saving me and the child, now that the water has receded, I want to take the child back, otherwise the family will go crazy! ”

Xiaohu didn't say anything, and Erya asked hesitantly: "Although it has entered autumn this day, this day is hotter than usual summer!" Can you be sure that your baby who is not yet a full moon old can handle it? ”

When Xiaohu heard this, he nodded, "Yes!" Big brother, you can do it, but your son can't! If you don't wait, after today, we are busy outside, and tomorrow morning, I will ride you off. ”

The man thought that his own child really couldn't be carried out on this hot day, so he had to wait patiently.

Erya was busy going to the basement to sprinkle lime and disinfect the damp zone, Xiaolong took Wen Chao and Wen Yue to accompany the guests, and the nurse helped to take the baby.

Xiaohu went out to follow the men in Zhuangzi and helped deal with some of the debris left by the flood.

They first found a deserted grave, dug a pit, buried a coffin that was stranded here, and busily dug a pit to bury the dead pigs. I also put the cabinets and useful furniture that drifted upstream, sorted them out and dried them. Put it away! Waiting for someone from above to find it!

There are also miscellaneous wastes such as haystacks and roofs, all piled together, put on a few sticks of firewood, pasted with mud on them, and then lit the firewood inside, and made manure!

A few people who do the work. Small talk while busy.

Wang Shoushun said to Wang Shougui next to him while digging the soil: "Hey! When I first built the house, I blamed my eldest daughter-in-law for spending so much money to build a house with a basement. Now I can see the benefits, such a big flood, my house has no water at all! Even in the basement, I took a lamp this morning and there was no water. ”

Wang Shougui sighed and shook his head, and said: "At the beginning, the younger generation laughed at Xiaohu for eating his mother-in-law's meal, and within two years, he slapped his own mouth. Every family depends on women to earn money. This woman loves to compare when she earns money, but my daughter-in-law didn't say what house she wanted to build, but she secretly picked up my son's trouble!

I didn't have a trick, so I had to agree to them to build it, and the money seemed to have to be spent like running water at that time! I hate to curse people in distress, but the money is earned by others, what can I say!? Now I don't have anything to say, if I put it on hold. What else does our family have after this big flood? I'm afraid that even a bed will be smashed! ”

On the other side, Wang Benzhi (the second son of Grandpa's family) also said: "It's not! At the beginning, my eldest daughter-in-law earned a little money. It's terrible, clamoring to build a brick house, if it weren't for my father forcing me to nod and build a house, I really wouldn't have been able to build this house. Now I know why the poor get poorer and the rich get richer! ”

"Why?" The others who were listening asked in unison.

Wang Benzhi replied proudly: "You still don't understand this? The poorer you are, the more reluctant you are to use good things, the more you don't use good things, the more you can't keep it, and the more you can't keep it, the more you lose, so the poorer you are, the poorer you are! It's the other way around. It's going to accumulate more and more, so it's getting richer and richer! ”

Some of them understood, so they nodded and said, it makes sense! Some didn't understand, so they shook their heads and said. Still don't understand.

Everyone doesn't care if they understand it or not, they still have to do the work that should be done. By the afternoon, it was basically all sorted out.

When the sun set, the people in the upper reaches came looking for their relatives.

The first to arrive were the two sons and brothers of the man rescued by Wang Shougui and Wang Shoujiang, the family's surname was Lin, and they were from the upstream Lin family.

In fact, when the alarm bell rang, the water was still far away! This man would have had time to run away with the money from the bedside, but he was greedy and wanted to take more valuable things with him, and he almost lost his life.

The people of the Lin family came directly to the Wang family Zhuangzi, and the people upstream all had a consensus, if they wanted to know if their relatives could still live, they would come directly to the Wang family Zhuangzi to see, if they could find it, if they couldn't find it, it would be almost gone!

Although the flood has passed, the river is still not small, and they dare not come along the river corridor, for fear that they will accidentally fall into the river. I can only go other ways, turn around, ask east and west, and ask all the way. So, although it is not far away, it is only now that the reason has arrived.

The eldest son of the Lin family was a little annoyed when he saw his father, standing on the ridge of the field, watching the excitement of people drilling into the cornfield to catch fish, "Dad! If you're fine, why don't you go back? Do you know that my grandmother and mother are about to cry to death, and my grandfather has fainted. ”

His father smiled embarrassedly: "The old man of the Wang family said that I was just frightened, and if I ran away on a hot day, I was afraid that my body would not be able to stand it, so let me rest for a day before leaving!" How did you find this place so quickly! But someone sent you a letter? ”

"It's not! It was the old lady from the next village who told me to come here directly, saying that if you have a big life, you must be here, if you are not here, don't look for it! The eldest son of the Lin family cried as he spoke!

The two brothers of the Lin family and another son also shed tears.

The uncle, who was originally catching fish in the ditch of his house, saw the family on the ridge, so he was busy going up and bringing them back to entertain.

When Erya and their family were finishing eating, Xiaohu and Daman rescued this man named Tang Mulin, and the family also found him. (To be continued......)
