Chapter 84: Refugees
Chapter 84: Refugees
Nansha Town is relatively low-lying, and it lives by fishing, but now there are no fishing boats, only begging for the day. Because of this heavy rain, the Yan family didn't go to open a shop so quickly, Yan Qingshan took the time to go to Shahe Town to see, there were a lot fewer cargo ships at the wharf, and there were very few people in the town, Yan Yan thought to himself that it would take a long time to recover this time, at least it would be impossible to do business in the near future.
So several families have come to take care of the fields with peace of mind, the most important thing for the croppers is the field, everyone looks forward to the sun hanging high every day, preferably very hot and sunny, so that the excess water in the field can evaporate quickly. In fact, Xiaohe Village is basically flooded, but the flooded fields are just fields, and the houses are fortunate that there is no water.
Yan's fish pond is also a mess, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are flooded over the top, and after the water recedes, it is covered with yellow mud, and a lot of it has been washed away, Yan Shaojie drained the water, and the poplar tree went down to dig the lotus root, and by the way to see if there are any fish. The lotus root was not big enough, but there was finally some harvest, and the two of them dug the fish pond again.
Yan Yan is drying peanuts and soybeans at home, and there is not much dry firewood at the moment, but this dried peanut and soybean stalk can be burned for a while. Yang Shu and Yan Shaojie went up the tree to pick the plums, Yan Yan pickled plum wine, crispy plums, plum blossoms and plum sauce, and when Yan Qingshan finished the vegetable garden, she planted new vegetable seeds. Yang makes clothes and shoes when he has time, and when the field is ready, it is estimated that he will rush to plant seedlings.
On this day, the Yang family and Yan Qingshan went to the seedlings, and Yan Shaojie was reading at home, because he wanted to take care of the family affairs before going to school, anyway, he hadn't been to school for so many days, and it was not bad for a few days. Yan Yan was digging up the drowned chrysanthemums from the root of the wall in the yard, getting the soil ready, and digging up some of the chrysanthemums at the foot of the mountain when they bloomed.
"Is anyone there?" A middle-aged male voice came from outside the courtyard, and the voice was obviously lacking in qi and carrying a sense of exhaustion.
"Brother, come on!" Yan Yan felt that it should be a refugee, and it was not good for her to go out alone as a girl, so she called Yan Shaojie.
"What's the matter?" Yan Shaojie was in the room, and he didn't really hear the voice of the refugees, so he hurriedly came out to ask Yan Yan.
"Let's open the door first," Yan Yan followed behind Yan Shaojie and went to open the courtyard door.
"Is it the sister-in-law of the Yan family?" Yan Shaojie opened the courtyard door and saw a middle-aged man and a teenage boy carrying a man together, followed by a woman, the middle-aged man saw someone open the door, and quickly asked.
"But Uncle Niu?" Because several people were in rags, their hair was messy, and their lips were chapped, Yan Yan felt as if he had seen them somewhere, so he asked tentatively.
"It's me, it's me!" Uncle Niu saw that someone recognized him, so he quickly nodded and admitted.
"Brother, come on, let's talk about it first," Yan Yan asked Yan Shaojie to bring people into the house, and he hurried to the kitchen to get food, and in the morning Kang made some sweet potato cakes, Yan Yan took them out and asked them to pad their hunger first, and then pour them a cup of hot tea to drink. When Yan Shaojie brought people into the house, he found that a man was unconscious, so he quickly took the person to his room, took out clean clothes to help him change them, and scrubbed them clean.
"Come, eat some to cushion your stomach first, and I'll cook when you get back," Yan Yan beckoned the three of them to eat quickly, probably because they were hungry, and the three of them were not polite, and they devoured it, "You have been hungry for a long time, you can't eat too much at once, rest first, and then have lunch when you turn back." Yan Yan saw that the three of them still wanted to eat after eating, and hurriedly explained.
"To make you laugh, I was cheeky to find it," Uncle Niu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"I changed my clothes and scrubbed that man, what's the matter with the injuries on his body?" Yan Shaojie returned to the house and asked Uncle Niu.
"We don't know him either, we are fishing for a living, the fishing boat was overturned in the middle of the night, we will all escape ashore in the water, the next day the water receded only to find that all the fishing boats were almost broken, everyone died and injured wounded, we are all fishermen, there are no relatives to take refuge in, I thought that the sister-in-law of the Yan family mentioned Xiaohe Village, so I came cheekily, and saw him unconscious there on the road, thinking that it was not easy for everyone, if you can save it, you can save it, so I brought him." Uncle Niu also knew that this was not good, but he was ruthless and didn't care about others.
"Don't get in the way, Uncle Niu, I admire people like you, if someone else has long ignored others in order to save their lives, you can stay here first, and my father and mother will come back when you turn around," Yan Yan comforted them and said.
After a while, the Yang family and Yan Qingshan came back, learned what happened, and knew that this was Uncle Niu and his daughter-in-law, son, and his son Niu Xiaoyu, who was 18 years old, and it was not easy for their fishing family to marry a daughter-in-law, so Niu Xiaoyu has not been married to a partner so far. Uncle Niu used to work on the wharf, Niu Xiaoyu went to sea to fish, the family of three was doing well, but there were unforeseen circumstances, and there was nothing overnight, Sister-in-law Niu was very distressed, but she had to cheer up, and people were fine.
Yang, Yan Qingshan, and Yan Shaojie took out their clothes and changed them in, and after they scrubbed them clean, Yan Yan found that Niu Xiaoyu was good-looking, he was the kind of sunny boy with wheat-colored skin, probably because he rarely saw girls, so he was a little shy about Yan Yan's presence.
"Brother, have you seen that person's injuries? How, exactly? While eating lunch, Yan Yan asked.
"There is a knife wound on the chest, it is estimated that it has been soaked in water for too long, and it is a little ulcerated," Yan Shaojie couldn't help frowning when he thought of what he saw, "It may be more than lucky." ”
"Daddy, you hurry up and drive the ox cart to ask for a doctor, no matter what, we have to try our best to save people, otherwise we won't feel good," Yan Yan couldn't watch such a life pass away in front of his eyes, he had to give it a try no matter what.
"My daughter is right, I'll go now!" Yan Qingshan hurriedly finished eating and got up and left.
The Yan family took in the Niu family, which set off another storm in the village, it was nothing more than that the Yan family was rich, and it was not a problem to take in a few people at all. In fact, the four members of the Niu family came all the way from the entrance of the village, and many families hurriedly closed the door when they saw that they were still carrying a man in a coma, they thought that it was okay to give food to eat, but there was a patient, and this was to treat the disease and save people, and they didn't have so much money.
There was no way for Uncle Niu to inquire about the Yan family's house, but the people in the village wished they could find the Yan family, the villagers all felt that the Yan family was rich, and there was nothing to lose this time, it was right to find the Yan family, so quickly give them directions. Uncle Niu knew in his heart that according to the practices of the villagers, the Yan family had a good life, but it was not easy in the village, after all, there were many people with red eyes.
The Yan family doesn't care about this, the most important thing at the moment is to save the man, otherwise it will be really uncomfortable, and the villagers don't know what ugly things they will say.
