Chapter 14: The Flood Is Merciless, and People Are Merciful

"Contracting?" Aunt Gao and Aunt Xu were puzzled by this fresh word.

"I speculate that you see that everyone is starting to work alone, and those who have money go back to the village to give money to their idle land and then cultivate it collectively, so that the land will not be abandoned. It can also increase the income of the villagers, which is a win-win. For example, Gao Shaoping, the village party secretary, contracted the brick kiln in the village, which is the same reason. Hao Hao explained.

"It's not a loss to be a reader, but it is summed up so well." The two praised.

"It's fine." Hao Hao said embarrassedly.

The people here are so enthusiastic that they have been praised for just one or two sentences.

Suddenly, there was a boom.

Immediately after, raindrops the size of beans fell.

Summer is really like a babyface, one moment it's hot to death, the next moment it's crackling rain.

"It's raining, run." Aunt Gao shouted.

The three of them hurriedly ran out.

It's not home yet, and it's raining heavily.

"Tiantian, are you alright?" Hao Hao at the gate of his house, untied the child, and saw that the sheets outside were wet, she was afraid that the child would catch a cold, so she hurriedly untied the sheets, put the child in her arms, and found that she was fine, and a heart fell in her stomach.

Then he put the sheet on his shoulders and opened the door into the courtyard.

Xu Laohan didn't come back, and he was probably still in the ground. The two puppies on the steps of the eaves shivered with fear.

She took it with her when she entered the house.

Fortunately, when she cooked at noon, the kang was still hot, so she put the child on the kang and poured water for the puppy to make time to change her clothes.

When she saw the baby again, she peed again.

Hao Hao could only patiently change the child's diaper, but she didn't change the child immediately, but mixed the space spring water with hot water, bathed Xiao Tiantian, and wrapped her in the quilt.

"Tiantian, you fall asleep first, mom boils some hot water, it is estimated that your grandfather is almost coming back."

As he was talking, he heard a bang on the courtyard door, and the baby, who was a little sleepy, opened his eyes.

"It's okay, Mom is going to boil water." Hao Hao immediately got off the kang, walked to the stove, poured water to make a fire, and did what he had to do in a few minutes.

The fire in the stove was big, so she didn't have to worry about it, so she had time to see Xu Laohan.

"Dad, why are you still in the rain, go back to the house and change into dry clothes, the water will be boiled in a while, you can wash and drink some more to prevent colds." As soon as Hao Hao came out of the house, he saw Xu Laohan who was still busy in the yard, this rain will be pouring down, Xu Laohan is in his sixties, although his body is hard, he can't stand being poured by this heavy rain, if he catches a cold, they have no place to buy medicine, and they are estimated to suffer a big crime.

"Woman, I'm fine, the chickens haven't arrived on the shelf yet." Xu Laohan did as he spoke.

"Daddy's chicken will be put on the shelves by itself, you hurry up and go into the house, don't catch a cold, or you will suffer a big crime, I will boil the water." Hao Hao said again.

Croppers value what they get at home more than their lives, just like Sun Shao'an in the ordinary world, who would rather be cold and freeze himself than let the cattle in the village freeze and give his coat to the cows to wear.

"Here it is." When Xu Laohan saw that the chickens had also gone up, he went to his house.

"Dad, I'll bring you water, you always change your clothes and wash them, and the kang is also hot, you can sleep after washing and drinking some water, and I'll call you when you eat again." Hao Hao looked at the soaking old man Xu and said.

"Hmm." Xu Laohan is not hypocritical, he has to spend money to see a doctor when he has a cold, and his family is not rich, so he still obediently listens to his daughter-in-law.

When Hao Hao entered the house again, the child was asleep, and the water in the pot was boiling, so she quickly mixed the water and brought it out again.

"Dad's water is ready, you can change your clothes and bring it in, I'll make you a bowl of hot noodle soup, eat it and go to the cold." As soon as the words fell, without waiting for Xu Laohan to speak, he went back to his room.

"The rain was so heavy that it felt like it was going to pour over the whole earth, and it seemed like a flood could not be avoided." Hao Hao said while cooking.

Hao Hao really made it clear that this heavy rain was the precursor to flooding, and in a county not far from their Xiahe Village, because of the imperfect drainage system and the poor ability of the leaders to precipitate the danger, it was too late for them to find out about the flood.

The muddy yellow water swept the things on the ground, all the way to the west, and where they passed, there was a sea of chaos, and the low-lying ones immediately fell into the flood, and the high-point ones were safer, but they hurried out of the door, and put on simple waterproof clothing, which would freeze and shiver.

Don't look at it as summer, it's still very cold under heavy rain.

"Gao Shaoming, Xu Ming, Qiao Hao, and Gao Yang, the four of you go to the neighboring Xia County, the flood there needs you to go to the first scene and interview the latest news." Wang An, director of the news department of the county where Gao Shaoming is located, looked at the four young people and said.

"Director, we are from the editorial department, do we still need to run the scene? What about those journalists? Qiao Hao is a girl, she is interested in this interview, but she can't help but ask.

"Three of them went to other places and didn't come back, and one stayed in the bureau, but they couldn't go out of the field with their babies, so the director asked us to go to the editorial department. But I can say in advance, the interview is important, but your safety is more important, and when you go out, you should follow the experienced elderly, and don't go alone. Director Wang doesn't want to lose manpower on this trip, although this era advocates selfless dedication, but he feels that the young baby has just started working, and the future is full of infinite possibilities, so he can't die for this outing.

"Got it, Director." Four people answered.

"Let's go now, the car in the bureau is outside, remember to pay attention to safety." Wang An still told him uneasily, this group of young and vigorous young men and girls are easy to act impulsively.

"Don't worry, Director." The four of them replied in unison.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and he couldn't see the outside clearly while sitting in the car, Gao Shaoming was full of worries, this was the biggest rain he had ever seen when he grew so big.

It is not known when this heavy rain will end.

The speed of the car was very slow, and the only girl in the car, Qiao Hao, couldn't help but speak, "What do you think will be like when you go to Xia County this time?" Is it pouring rain, or is it a vast ocean? ”

"Qiao, okay, this is your first time on location, aren't you happy, don't you mean the same thing?" Xu Ming likes Qiao Hao, but what she says doesn't please the girl, especially Qiao Hao, she turned her head angrily to look at Xu Ming with a smile on her face, and said, "I'm happy, if you don't like to listen, don't listen." ”

"Joe, okay, I was wrong, what you said was right." Xu Ming hurriedly said with a dogleg.

"Miss Xu Haiming is used to coax, look at you like this, can you catch up with the girl you like?" Gao Yang is a young man who is about 1.8 meters tall, but his family is much better than the three of them, his father is the director of the county public security bureau, and his mother is a chemistry teacher in a middle school, and the family conditions are good. But he is righteous, and he loves to laugh, whether it is a boy or a girl, he blushed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Don't be kidding, look at their faces." Gao Shaoming said with a smile.

He had a target, understood Xu Ming's thoughts, and was afraid that their relationship would be stiff, so he hurriedly spoke out.

"Shaoming, you are really good at talking, by the way, when you arrive in Xia County, where do we start? This time the task is so heavy, we must not be sloppy. Gao Yang quickly changed the subject.

"When you get to Xia County, listen to how the leaders arrange it, we are stunned and don't know much about Xia County, so we can't cause trouble to people." Gao Shaoming is a rigorous person, he adheres to the principle of doing things well and not causing trouble, everything is steady, not fast, and not backward, which is why he is liked by the director.

"Listen to you, you are the biggest among us, and you are also steady, you are right to listen to you." Gao Yang said.

"Gao Yang, you are also a powerful person, you have ideas, why should you listen to me?" Gao Shaoming asked with a smile.

"No matter how good I am, I'm not as good as you, you are steady and steadfast, and I am safe with you." Gao Yang replied seriously.

"Thank you for having such a high opinion of me." Gao Shaoming said with a smile.

"Hahaha" everyone in the car laughed.

On the other side, Hao Hao made a hot noodle soup, gave Xu Laohan a bowl, and then went back to the house by himself.

It looks like it will rain for several days, and she can also take the opportunity to collect more things, and then soak the soybeans and sprout.

"It's time for Tian Tian to take a shower." After Hao Hao finished eating, he looked at the white and tender little bun and happily took one of her little fat hands, and said while kissing.

These days, the rations are sufficient, the nutrition is good, Xiao Tiantian is the same every day, from a few days ago, it has become a pink white, it seems that the effect of the spring water is very good.

"Wow wow" Britney kept fluttering and crying in the basin.

"Okay, don't cry, don't cry, it'll be fine for a while." Hao Hao comforted while washing, she watched the little girl fluttering in the basin and squeaked her with a smile.

The baby who "giggled" for more than a month actually laughed.

Isn't it bad that spring water also has the effect of allowing children to develop early?

However, she looked at the baby's lively appearance and was relieved.

Helping your child take a bath is a real pleasure.

This reminded her of her modern daughter, who was as white and tender, chubby, and a little sad for a while.

The two puppies protested, looking at Hao Hao on the kang and ignoring themselves, trying to find a sense of existence.

"Don't worry, I'll wash you after washing." Hao Hao suddenly woke up, turned around and said with a smile.

The two puppies are the same day by day, and gradually the round shape is gone, and the wolf can be faintly seen, and it seems that her business partner has been cultivated.

"Wangwang" two puppies immediately agreed.

"Hahaha, what a cutie!" Hao Hao smiled dotingly.

After washing, after feeding Britney, she helped the puppy take a bath and prepared to make some snacks.

If you have goat's milk, fruits, and eggs, then make a simple little dessert and treat yourself.

The goat's milk is simply processed, and then the diced fruit is put in, the eggs are only put in the egg liquid, and the egg yolk is given to the puppy, provided that Xu Laohan does not find out.

By the way, she secretly put the chickens into the space at night to hatch some chicks, so that she can use the eggs more freely.

As soon as the fragrance of "Wangwang" came out, the two puppies couldn't help it.

"Little gluttonous cat, so gluttonous." Hao Hao couldn't help scolding.

"Wangwang" The two puppies barked even more happily.

"Wait a little while and you can eat, you drink some milk and eat some fruit first." Hao Hao freed his hand, poured the remaining materials to the puppy, and got up and got busy again.

Half an hour later, a steamer dessert was baked.

There is no box to bake eggs, so she can only take local ingredients and steam desserts in a basket of steamed buns.
