Because of the rain, Mai Xiaohuan told the coachman to be more steady when he drove the car, and when it was close to noon, he finally arrived at Yifeng Villa.

The janitor was shocked, why did anyone still come to the door on this rainy day? After seeing who it was, he hurriedly welcomed the person in.

Mai Xiaohuan first found the eldest brother and asked him about the situation of the villa, and when he learned that he had not taken any precautions, he secretly said that it was dangerous, but fortunately he came: "Big brother, hurry up and gather people, and tell them that I will pay double the wages for the two days of work, and if you don't drain the water quickly, the potatoes and sweet potatoes will probably rot in the ground." ”

"Oh!" Mai Yonghe listened to his sister's words and felt that his brain was too inflexible, if his sister didn't come to these hundreds of acres of land, he would be ruined/ruined by himself.

After a hurried lunch, the brother and sister went down to the field with their people, because it had rained for four or five days in a row, and no one had dredged the irrigation canals, and some places had been washed away, and many potato seedlings were soaked in water.

I don't know if it's too late to drain now, dozens of long-term workers got up early and worked hard for two days, and finally strengthened the place that should be repaired, and the water was almost drained, because of the memory of this Hailan Villa, Mai Yonghuan told the eldest brother to send people to dredge the waterways every day, and no longer let the water overflow the seedlings of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so that Jinqiu called the coachman to go on the road.

"Sister-in-law, you haven't played with Ming Yang since you came!" Mak Mingyang pursed his lips to express his dissatisfaction.

"Not this time, my aunt still has to go to your second uncle's Zhuangzi to have a look, and when the rain stops, when I pass by here, I will take you to see how your grandparents are."

"Wow! My aunt has to count when she speaks, so don't lie to me anymore. ”

I've never deceived a child, okay? Mai Xiaohuan hugged her nephew and kissed her, which made Mai Mingyang embarrassed, lowered her head and twisted and said: "My mother said, I am an adult, I have to be like a man, and I can't play kissing anymore." ”

"Your mother is talking about outsiders, who is my aunt! If your family doesn't pay attention to this, it's gone! "Stinky boy, you don't feel at a loss? He was embarrassed.

After running for another day and a half under the heavy rain, I finally arrived at Hailan Villa, and saw that the second brother and sister-in-law were taught a lesson before Mai Xiaohuan could speak: "What are you running around in such a heavy rain, why don't you stay honestly in the villa, if something goes wrong on the road, how can I explain to my father." ”

"Am I not doing this? What's going on in the villa? ”

"I've been watching the fields! You change your clothes first and then rest. ”

The second brother's mind is really brighter than the eldest brother, and after he goes back, he has to let his father and mother go back to Yifeng Villa, the eldest brother can run errands and do small things, and he is still far from being alone.

The sandy texture of Tongbei County absorbs water quickly, but it is difficult to drain water, and those irrigation canals have to be inspected every day, and if they are not done well, they will collapse. Mai Yonghai followed the workers every day to go out early and return late, for fear that his own negligence would reduce the crop yield in the field.

"Second brother, if you make it like this every day, will the second sister-in-law dislike you!"

Mai Yonghai patted his sister on the head, this girl even ridiculed her brother, there are no rules, think about Hao Youlan's attitude towards herself now, Mai Yonghai's eyebrows and eyes are crooked, and his face is happy. He always thought that it would be good for Hao Youlan to respect him like a guest, after all, she was a real lady, and she just borrowed her sister's light, and she became a rich man from a country boy halfway, and she was not worthy of Hao Youlan at all.

To his great surprise, Hao Youlan did not look down on himself at all, and would prepare dry clothes and warm tea early every day and wait for him to come back. Whether it is in front of himself or the rest of the villa, he never puts the eldest lady's shelf, either quietly embroiders, or sits under the window and reads.

Although the two of them didn't communicate much, the quiet and warm atmosphere made them feel very comfortable and satisfied.

Oops! There's a situation! Mai Xiaohuan decided to torture her second sister-in-law and friend at night, after dinner, Mai Yonghai saw the two little heads together and whispered, Hao Youlan also showed a different smile from usual, and said very generously: "You haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk enough tonight!" ”

"Second brother, you are so understanding, I thank you on behalf of myself and my second sister-in-law." After speaking, he bowed.

The older the younger the sister became, the more naughty she became, Mai Yonghai glanced at Hao Youlan deeply, turned around and didn't forget to turn around and glared at him shyly: "You two don't frown in front of your sister-in-law, it's immoral to show affection like this." ”

Hao Youlan was lying on the quilt and refused to get up, Mai Yonghai patted her sister on the forehead, warned her not to bully people, and turned back to the room.

"Don't look at my second brother's fierceness, I can see that he is happy! Second sister-in-law, if you are embarrassed to say anything to him directly, tell me today, and I will help you convey them. Mai Xiaohuan patted his chest and promised.

"Your second brother...... He's fine. "I shush myself, I have responsibility and ability, but I haven't read a few books, and I can't export chapters like my cousin. She doesn't care about this now, and she would rather choose someone like Mai Yonghai than a pedantic nerd.

What's more, he didn't swell because his family became rich, and he basically did everything in Zhuangzi himself, and if there was any difficulty for the people, he would definitely not stand idly by if he could help. Being with him is very down-to-earth, although the life is ordinary, but the heart is very comfortable.

As long as the second brother feels happy, his friends are content with him, and he doesn't have to worry. Hao Youlan asked Mai Xiaohuan what she thought of her cousin Ding Qixiang, Mai Xiaohuan smiled apologetically, and the second sister-in-law didn't mention it, she almost forgot about this person.

"That person looks good, I've left this matter to my father and mother, and I'm now bent on the corn and potatoes, and I don't want anything else."

It seems that Xiao Huan is not very enthusiastic about this family business! Hao Youlan diverted the topic and asked about the body of her parents-in-law, and said that she was not a qualified daughter-in-law, and she had not fulfilled her filial piety by her in-laws' side for a day since she got married.

"Now it's up to me to do my filial piety, and when I get married, I'll ask my brother and sister-in-law, and I won't fight with you when the time comes."

Two friends who had been separated for a long time lay on the bed and chatted for half a night, and when they fell asleep, they had no memory, and when they woke up again, Mai Xiaohuan asked Jinqiu what about the people around him?

"The second young grandmother said to go to the kitchen to help you and the second young master make breakfast."

"Jinqiu, is it still raining outside?"

Jinqiu sighed and nodded vigorously, it had been raining for six or seven days, and it still didn't seem to stop, which was really annoying.

"No, I'm going to the county government today." Mai Xiaohuan not only thinks about the villa, but also remembers Qu Hao and Zhao Wanru, I don't know how they are now?

When the three of them were sitting around for breakfast, Mai Xiaohuan proposed that he wanted to go to see Qu Hao, but was unanimously opposed by the people around him.

"Wait for the rain to stop before you go!" Hao Youlan helped Mai Xiaohuan sandwich a bun and put it in front of her.

As soon as my sister came, she was almost forgotten by her daughter-in-law, Mai Yonghai knocked on the table with her fingers, and after successfully attracting Hao Youlan's attention, she pointed to her bowl, you can't leave your husband alone if you have a sister-in-law!

Hao Youlan showed an apologetic smile, she was really happy to see her friend, and forgot about him.

"Your sister-in-law said yes, whose little girl is running around in the heavy rain like you, and staying at home honestly."

"Second brother, this time, I really can't listen to you, you know? There are no big trees on the mountains in Tongbei County, they are all sand and sandstone, and it has rained for so many days, I am afraid that there will be flash floods and mudslides, so I want to remind Brother Qu. ”

No way! Mai Yonghai has lived in Qingcheng County for so many years, and he has never heard of the fact that the mountains will fall and the house will be submerged.

Mai Xiaohuan further explained that it was because it had not rained for so long before, it had been six or seven days, not only did the rain not stop, but the momentum seemed to be getting more and more ferocious, who could guarantee that Heti would not be washed away and the flash flood would not break out.

"What then?" After his sister's explanation, Mai Yonghai also became cautious, he was not only worried about the villa, but also about the innocent people.

"I think the location of our Zhuangzi is very good, there should be no problem with the hill behind, and the place where we live is so far away from the mountain should be safe. When I persuaded Brother Qu, try to evacuate the people at the foot of the mountain, in case there are not so many people in the county, build some sheds in the front yard, it should be able to accommodate a lot of people, but I don't know ...... second sister-in-law."

"I'm okay with that, what do you need me to do, just say."

"You guys should be mentally prepared first, and I'll go to the county seat to see the situation."

This time, Mai Yonghai no longer stopped his sister, urging her to eat quickly, and set off quickly after eating: "I looked like a brother and sister just now, but now I am like a beggar, second brother, you can't learn from your father and mother, and treat me as a child I picked up." ”

When is it, and there is still a poor mind, Mai Yonghai asked his sister to hurry up, and when she took the car and left, he instructed several stewards to go to the neighboring counties to buy grain and buy necessities, even if my sister didn't say that Qu Hao would definitely reduce the grain production in Tongbei County after a continuous heavy rain, and prices would definitely rise, so there was no harm in preparing more things.

"And the herbs, and the wood." Hao Youlan reminded.

Mai Yonghai sent someone to purchase these two things, and then went to the field in his coat.

The coachman drove the carriage for half an hour to the backyard of the county government of Tongbei County, and patted the door for a long time before there was a sound inside.

"Who!" On this rainy day, he didn't stay at home honestly, and he came out to visit the door, and the janitor looked impatient.

I also want to lie in bed at home and sleep beautifully, but unfortunately there are too many things to sleep!

"I'm Mai Xiaohuan, are my eldest brother and sister-in-law at home?" Because she was in a hurry, Mai Xiaohuan simply raised the curtain and talked to the gatekeeper.

"It turned out to be the third lady! The prefectural order and the lady are all there, they are all there. The janitor saw that it was Mai Xiaohuan, and a smile was changed on his face, this one must not be neglected.
