Chapter 80

The group of people on Cao Herui's side was swept away by the typhoon, but fortunately, the big one had continued to go up the river, and they couldn't move because there were still small ones.

On the mountain here in Luzhou, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan listened to the report of their subordinates coming back, and knew that the wind did not blow to the houses on this side, so they were relieved, as long as the big one passed, there would be no problem.

This rain seems to have something to do with the typhoon, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with it, it's still falling, and at this time you can actually go back, but the two of them were worried that the wind would blow over and back, so they totaled it, and found the old man's side again, wanting to ask about the situation.

The old people are well arranged, they don't have to do any work at all, under the shed that has been built, they and some children can enjoy the treatment of the couch, needless to say, the children are the hope of everyone, the old man doesn't care what other people think, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are to be respected.

Whether they survive in this life to do things for the life of their own families, or to help repair bridges and roads, as long as they work, then they will definitely contribute to this society, in the process of paying rent, in fact, they are contributing to the country, and they can't be old and have no one to support.

Even if they don't know a word, even if they have a stubborn temper, but some of the rent they pay will be used for disaster relief and road repair, who dares to say that he has not received such benefits at all? At least they can live in peace, that is, the state uses this money to form an army to protect it.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are ready to set up a special fund to settle some elderly people who can't work, not pity, but respect, when respecting the elderly, it is also respecting history, respecting inheritance, and respecting themselves.

The old people in Luzhou have indeed enjoyed the blessings that they have never thought of before, there is a shed above their heads to cover the rain, and there is a couch under them, so they don't have to worry about catching a cold, and there are people who make a few meals a day for them.

No matter when you are hungry, you can have someone cook something to eat, take out the recipe, and the person in charge of cooking will be introduced, but there are some things that cannot be eaten, so you will never make it, and you can drink a little wine a day per person.

In this way, these old people regard the good officials as their own sons, and even feel that they are closer than some sons and daughters, and Zhang Xiaobao and Juan Juan naturally became the grandsons and granddaughters in their minds.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan usually don't have much time, and it is impossible to accompany the elderly every day, but there are many babies here, Wang Juan will teach these babies to dance, paint, sing or something, and let them take turns to go to the nursing home to play with the elderly.

Even if their paintings are not good-looking, the singing is out of tune, and the dancing is not so beautiful, and there are always repetitions, and the old people do not hesitate to exaggerate, these old people are lonely and widowed old people who have no one to take care of, and they can enjoy the joy of family, what do they care about?

At this time, as soon as Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came over, these old men showed loving smiles, and the more they looked at the two sensible little babies, the more they liked them.

"Grandma Li, don't move, your leg is uncomfortable, it's a rainy day, it hurts to walk, don't move, Xiaobao and I are here." As soon as Wang Juan pulled Zhang Xiaobao to appear, an old lady got down from the couch and stepped forward with something in her hand.

Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao hurriedly sped up their speed, ran to the front, one left and one right next to the old lady, this is not pretending, Wang Juan is a family teacher, the rules in her family have always been like this, children must learn to be filial, don't look at the family began to appear after liberation, but in the economic wave, the bigger the family, the more attention to this.

Zhang Xiaobao has a good dean grandfather, let him know what it is to respect the old and love the young, which makes Wang Juan feel very magical, generally people like Zhang Xiaobao have not received much help from the society since childhood, and usually complain about the society, but he is an alternative, and the original idea of making money is to repay the society.

Of course, many people disagree with his approach, but those orphanages were indeed built, and those mountain roads were indeed built, and when some people wanted to kill him, many people wanted him to live a long life.

The old lady didn't know what the two babies were like before, she only knew that she was good to her lonely old people now, which was enough, and she pulled the two of them back to the couch one by one, and there was a pocket in the hand that pulled Wang Juan with her little thumb.

"Come, this is honey money for the two of you, it's been prepared for more than a month, and you can eat it today." The old lady sat on the couch and opened the pocket in her hand, which was honey money wrapped in oiled paper, specially made for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

"Eat quickly, the honey money made by your grandmother Li is the best, in the whole county, the honey money made by your grandmother Li is good, but unfortunately it was not done later." The old man Hong next to him also said.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan were not polite, one of them pinched a piece out with his hand, put it in his mouth, and allowed Yun to finger it, and nodded together to indicate that it was delicious, it was indeed delicious, but it was too sweet, and neither of them dared to eat more.

"Grandma Li, is your leg still hurting so badly? Let Xiaobao give you ******. Wang Juan clicked his mouth twice and said to the old lady.

The old lady moved twice, nodded and shook her head, "It still hurts, but it's not like before, there are people who help with medicine and wine every day, and when the weather is good, there is nothing at all, and now it is a little uncomfortable when it rains on a cloudy day." ”

As the old lady spoke, she touched Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's heads with her hands, her face was full of smiles, she couldn't sleep at night when she was sick before, when she was in pain, she couldn't sleep at night, since she arrived at the nursing home, with the prescription given by the Zhang family, and there are people who specialize in ***, as long as the weather doesn't change too much, there is nothing to do.

Wang Juan pressed it in the past, put his little hand on his knees, thought for a while and said: "After a while, let people use pigs to blow bubbles and fill hot water, and it won't be so uncomfortable to put it here, there is no way to cure this disease at all, you can only raise it more often, Grandpa Hong, are your ankles better?" It looks like you're going to have to eat more fish bones, as well as fish liver, and I'll have someone use that as a base for the next pot for you to eat. ”

The reason why Old Man Hong's foot can be twisted is because of the lack of calcium, there are no calcium tablets here, so it can only be adjusted with diet, there are some vitamins in the internal organs of the fish, plus eat some baked fish bones that are baked into crispy, you can supplement some calcium, otherwise only eat bones, and the human body absorbs too little.

"Okay, okay, listen to the two of you, we are old and immortal because we have accumulated virtue in our previous lives, otherwise how can we meet you people?" Old man Hong looked at Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and said excitedly.

He was ready to die without children and daughters, especially when he encountered a big flood, his body was already very bad at that time, but he didn't expect to say anything under the water, but went to a good place, that is, a nursing home, eating well, wearing well, sleeping comfortably, and having fun with someone.

The body and bones are gradually getting better, and there is a little baby who goes to play with me every day, so I don't want to die, and I am ready to live for a few more years and enjoy my happiness.

Other old people also came to talk to the two babies, in their hearts, the two babies are their relatives, and no one can hurt the two babies.

After talking for a while, Zhang Xiaobao asked about the matter, "Grandpa Wang, how long do you say the rain can fall here, and can the wind turn around and come back?" There's still a lot of work to do, and it's not enough to hide in the mountains all the time. ”

The old man who was called Grandpa Wang by Zhang Xiaobao was blind in one eye, but the only eye was very far away, he could see the earth, and he had helped find silver mines before, and he didn't know how he saw it, but he was divided into several time periods every day to see a certain place, and finally he could know if there was a mine down there, a very powerful ability.

In addition to looking at the mine, you can also look at the land, the more the land, the less, the defeat, through this you can judge the weather, plus a few other old people, the weather is calculated very accurately.

Old man Wang also knew that everyone was hiding in the mountains, and no one did the work in the state, and he had been thinking about this matter with several other old people in the past few days, when he heard Zhang Xiaobao ask, and said: "The wind will not come, but the rain will have to fall for five or six days before it stops, and it will be very heavy in these days, but you have to prepare early." ”

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang, I'll go back and tell my dad in a while, protect everyone, and never let anyone have an accident, so I have to be washed down again? Ay~! It's been a year of instability. ”

Zhang Xiaobao did not doubt what the old man said, and complained about the bad weather while thanking him.

Old man Wang laughed twice and said: "Don't be afraid of the house being washed, that is, you can rush to the ground, and this little ground will be washed, mainly the two rivers that are dug, the water that flows from the surroundings, and the water on the mountain, will go along the river, which is much stronger than before, and this is all the credit of the good officials." ”

As soon as Old Man Wang said this, Old Man Hong also sighed, "Yes, there is no such good official, let alone this time, last time we had an old bone here, we had to explain, this time, there are two big rivers, even if there is more water, we are not afraid, but unfortunately we can't help much, if we are ten years younger, I will also help with the work."

Xiaobao, you don't blame us people, do you? I can't help anything, I can only eat and drink, I don't know when the money you will get back this year, otherwise, this year's harvest is less, but the rice is good, and you can pay some rent from elsewhere, only for your family, not for the house. ”

Of course, they didn't know that the Zhang family had made up for this loss, so many local products and things that could be used as tribute, so that the Zhang family not only did not lose money, but made money, especially those things that have not been sold, and will make more money in the future.

This is the benefit of logistics and trade, and the old people who don't know these things feel that the Zhang family is at a loss, and find a way to compensate them.

Zhang Xiaobao's family wanted to do this, shook his head vigorously, and said: "No, no, my family didn't lose, those things in exchange were shipped to sell elsewhere and made a lot of money, my family has money, don't worry about this matter, even if it is rushed every year, my family can also take it." ”

Zhang Xiaobao's words are very real, and they don't hide it at all, just to make everyone feel at ease, otherwise they always think that this matter will affect their health, for Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, the problem that can be solved with money is not a problem, the main thing is that they have money.

Wang Juan saw that the eyes of these old men were full of suspicion, and he had no choice but to say some things in a way that they could understand, including how to operate and buy and sell.

Where did the old people know such esoteric things before, after listening to Wang Juan's words, they were dumbfounded, they couldn't have imagined that even when the disaster occurred, the Zhang family still had a way to make money, but they were not jealous, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with what the Zhang family did.

After hearing this, Mrs. Li said: "Now we can rest assured, it turns out that the money can still be earned like this, yes, the family of a good official can't be lost, you have to earn more, the more you earn, the more money you will take out in the future, the river here has been repaired, and the embankment by the sea has also been built, and those houses are not bad."

We have a nursing home to live in, other people have a good house now, in the past, people can't get such a good house and yard in a few lifetimes, but it's a pity, such a good official will leave one day, I don't know what will happen to the official who comes again? ”

Mrs. Li's words silenced the other old people, they also thought of this matter, now they are alive, not only do they have a stable place, others also have a new home, the school is still being built, and the little baby will be able to go to school at that time.

There are also those medical centers, now it doesn't cost money to see a doctor, and it costs money to catch medicine, and it will only charge less money for medicine in the future, all because there are good officials, if the good officials are gone, a new official will come, if it is like the one surnamed Shi, it is easy to do, and it doesn't matter what it is, what should be done here.

If a powerful official comes, wouldn't he look at this side and blush, and get some of the benefits that he had in his own hands? How can these people still live?

I thought about not letting the good official go, but it would delay the future of the good official, and everyone fell into hesitation.

"Look, others are worried, right? Persuade well. Wang Juan touched Zhang Xiaobao and said softly.

Zhang Xiaobao nodded, he had already thought about what happened after his father left, and he was not worried about the official who took over, and said to the old people:

"Grandparents, don't be afraid, no one can make a mess here, even if my dad goes to other places, this place will still do things like when my dad was there, and when my dad leaves, it will not be possible for the military and political integration here to be under the control of the assassin history, and there will be a record to join the army.

The people who do things below will also be selected, and if the new assassin can follow the rules, then there will be nothing, and he will be promoted after saving enough political achievements, if he dares to do it to the people, dare to do something to these infrastructure, then directly empty him.

Those chambers of commerce here are all our family, when he wants money and no money, no one wants people, he can only stare dryly, and if he wants to write an excerpt to the imperial court to change the people here, then don't worry, as long as he writes, he is the one who is replaced, as long as he stops the business activities here for two months, and then finds someone to impeach him, he will be finished. ”

Zhang Xiaobao said part of the arrangement, in fact, he still has arrangements, but he can't reveal it too early.

Wang Juan also knew that Zhang Xiaobao couldn't do things so simply, in that case, would he still be Zhang Xiaobao? If you can't get it right, then you can kill someone if you use it later, but now Zhang Xiaobao doesn't say it, she doesn't want to get to the bottom of it, the more she knows, the more tired she feels.

The old man and the old lady don't know so much, as long as they know that the future will be as happy as when the great official is there.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan accompanied these old people to talk for a while, seeing that it was almost time for lunch, and then left, still carrying the bag of honey money, ready to go back to taste it for their families, and they did a really good job.

The rain is still falling, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan know that they can't go back these days, if they don't come out, they may be able to let the people stay below, since they have come up, what if they go back during the heavy rain and are washed away by the water behind them?

What's more, the people can only hide in their homes, and put the things in the house on top of the wooden rafts, ready to row out and connect with other wooden rafts at any time when they encounter heavy water, forming a piece of land.

This is already a tradition that the people are ready to inherit, every family has a wooden raft, and when there is a big flood in the future, they will bring everything they can with it as they did the previous time, and then everyone will unite in an organized manner.

Now that they have run to the mountains, the people can do other work in the rain, some of them are picking vegetables, some are starting to build wooden houses, and some are going to build bridges and boats in the waterholes of the mountains.

After all, in the future, a tourism and resource development group will be set up here, and when the group will take out a part of the winnings to benefit the local people, and now the people are working for themselves and their descendants.

The people are doing very seriously, but there is nothing else to do now, and it is uncomfortable to be idle all day, and this is true for those who are used to work.

Now the rain has not stopped picking mushrooms is a little harder, and there are not many mushrooms, but the mountain vegetables grow very fast, and the bracken is picked a lot, all of which are used by Zhang Xiaobao to make pickles, although these bracken may cause cancer, but the probability is too small, if you really calculate it, you can get cancer by breathing.

The main thing is that it tastes good, and it can also supplement other nutrients that the body needs, and you can't deny it all because one aspect is not good.

When they were busy here, Cao and Rui's group were also busy, trying to find a way to bring down the trees, they didn't want to build any wooden houses, they were going to tie out wooden rafts.

"What is this weather called? It's not enough to have that strong wind, and it's going to rain heavily, now it's okay, this hill bag is going to be flooded, hurry up, dry it quickly, or don't even think about leaving alive when the time comes. ”

Cao Herui stood next to him and was in charge of commanding, his physique made him *** unable to do it, and the other individuals were trying to tie the broken trees together, they didn't bring any saws and other tools, only some small axes, and they were tired of cutting trees with such axes.

They gave up on trees that were too thick, and only cut down those trees that didn't look too thick or thin, and it was convenient to cut down the thin ones, but they were of no use.

The people who came over from this ship combined, including Cao and Rui, were only fifty-eight people, and the original boatmen were fifty-five people, and these people needed to make ten wooden rafts, not that the wooden rafts were not good, but that these woods were wet.

If you put it in the water, you don't need to stand on it, and if you stand on it, the usual result is that the whole raft goes into the water, and the same is true below the lower leg of the person.

There are no five or six people standing up, once there are more people, then there is no need to rush in the water, and they don't go in, fifty-five boatmen have worked very hard, but Cao and Rui still feel that it is too slow.

The three of them actually regret it a little now, one is that they regret that they shouldn't come back, the idea is not good, and the other is that they think that when they were looking for a place just now, they didn't look for that col, and now it can be safer, and that col is good to hide from the wind, but that place is too low, and all the water from other places converges here.

In this way, they can only continue to walk to a higher place, and when they come up, the wind blows and they cannot stand, bend their legs, bend their waists, bow their heads, and barely be able to hold the wind, and when this wind passes, they begin to get busy.

Seeing that the water that had come from other places was gradually rising, if they didn't hurry up and tie up the wooden rafts, they would have to explain it here.

The person in charge of the boat also followed to help, when the ten wooden rafts were tied, everyone was a little more relaxed, but Cao and Rui were still a little worried, let people continue to tie, they thought of the last time the water was connected with wooden rafts, they felt that it was very effective, and they were ready to try it at this time.

"Master Cao, have you seen enough of these wooden rafts? Now I know how strong the wind is here, but it's a pity that the preparation is insufficient, I knew that I brought some wood from the ship, and some of the wood was dry, not afraid of being soaked, Lord Cao, I don't know how to go to the next place? ”

The person in charge felt that he had no strength at all, not only because of the hard work of the wooden row, but also because of the anxiety in his heart, he now didn't know what to do in the future, he could only see the distance of more than ten zhang away, and the farther away was blocked by the wind and rain, and it was blurry when he looked at it.
