Knowing that Mai Xiaohuan was coming, Qu Hao and Zhao Wanru were very surprised, it was really her behavior that was too surprising, running from Shaxi Village to Tongbei County on a rainy day, I am afraid that only she could do this kind of thing.

"That's what you think of me and your sister-in-law!" Qu Hao saw that his wife was helping Mai Xiaohuan take care of her hair and hand over tea, and he felt jealous in his heart, and couldn't help but joke.

"I'm here to see the drainage situation of the villa in Tongbei County, Brother Qu, have you told those who farm with us to drain the water!"

"I've already told it, but there are few people who have taken action, and it seems that this year's grain production will be reduced."

"This problem is not the most serious at the moment, and the main purpose of my visit today is to talk to you about this heavy rain."

Qu Hao sat up straight, so that this girl could run here against the heavy rain, it seems that the problem is quite serious! Mai Xiaohuan explained to Qu Hao and Zhao Wanru what she said to her second brother and sister-in-law in the morning, and after she finished speaking, the room fell silent.

This incident is too serious to remind the people that if there is a flash flood, many people will die; If the Xingshi mobilizes the crowd for a long time and nothing happens, he will be scolded by the people and not say anything, and he will be held accountable if he doesn't get it right.

"How likely do you think an accident is?"

"If this rain doesn't stop and it continues like this, accidents can happen at any time."

"I've seen in books about heavy rains that washed away dikes and bridges, and whole mountains suddenly collapsed, but it seems that this has never happened to us in Xirui."

Qu Hao clenched his fist and smashed the table: "It's a big deal that I don't do this county order, an official position is nothing compared to the lives of the people of a county." ”

"Big brother, in case my sister's prediction is wrong and you lose your position, you and your sister-in-law will move in with me, and I will support you for the rest of your life."

"Haha, haha...... Your eldest brother is not so useless that he can't even afford to support his wife and children. ”

Wife and children! Could it be that the sister-in-law has it? Mai Xiaohuan circled around Zhao Wanru, and even reached out to touch her stomach.

Qu Hao came over and patted her hand away, tilted his head and said proudly, "Be careful, don't touch us." ”

It seems that there is really one, if she and Brother Qu are busy and have no one to accompany her sister-in-law, Mai Xiaohuan proposed to let Zhao Wanru live in the villa, so that she and Qu Hao can also mobilize everyone wholeheartedly and don't have to worry about the family.

Zhao Wanru wanted to stay and help the two of them, but Mai Xiaohuan persuaded her to go to the villa, only when she was safe, the two of them could concentrate on doing things.

"Xiao Huan is right, you pack up your things now, leave in the afternoon, I will go out to find the people of the county government to count which village is close to the mountain, let them go down to mobilize, find a relatively open space to build some simple houses, and prepare food and daily necessities, so that the master can see how much silver is left in the accounts." While counting what he should do, Qu Hao walked out.

"Big brother, it's good that you're busy with outside affairs, and leave the matter of buying things and relocating the people to me!"

Qu Hao persuaded her to go with Zhao Wanru, in case there is really a flash flood or mudslide, she should stay, if something happens to her, how can she explain to the Mai family and the difficult Zhou Yue!

Mai Xiaohuan looked like she didn't discuss this matter, and she had to stay, which made Qu Hao speechless, knowing that she couldn't persuade her, Qu Hao asked her to accompany her first and go to the county government to find herself after sending Zhao Wanru away.

When she sent Zhao Wanru away, Mai Xiaohuan asked her to bring the valuable things at home, and asked her to give a message to her second brother to stock up on more food in the villa, and not to go up the mountain in the near future. Mai Xiaohuan asked Jinqiu if she wanted to go with Zhao Wanru, although she was very apprehensive, Jinqiu still shook her head calmly, how could there be a reason why the master didn't leave, and the maid hid first.

Then let's go to work! When Mai Xiaohuan arrived at the county office, the master was already waiting there, and the people who bought grain and wood were also sent out.

"Have you found a place to build a temporary shelter?"

Master nodded: "There are two places that are more suitable, one is in the largest market in Tongbei County, flat and open, but the terrain is a little low; In the other part of the rich people's quarters, it is estimated that these people will not allow the people to enter their circle. ”

Under the leadership of the master, Mai Xiaohuan inspected two places on the spot, and as he was reporting to the master, there was a spacious place in the south of the city where the rich lived, where there were warehouses and workshops built by merchants, and if they could be used, even the wood for building temporary shelters would be left.

I can only wait for Qu Hao to come back and ask him to mobilize the rich people to see if the merchants will agree to temporarily requisition the warehouses and workshops. Qu Hao, who came back after it was completely dark, really couldn't describe it with a good look, it seems that it is not easy to move the people to leave their homes!

"Those people are too much, if you don't go, you won't go! The words that came out were particularly ugly, so that the little one said that the young master and the young lady were too much to care about them. Zhuo Qiao held back for an afternoon, and ran to Mai Xiaohuan to say bitter water.

"I can do anything, I'm afraid that the people will not evacuate in time, in case of ...... "flash floods, what should I do?" His official position is still too low, and if the county guard speaks, the effect will definitely be different.

"Yes, I have Zhou Yue's jade pendant." Mai Xiaohuan took out the jade pendant from his arms, cough! It's not that she doesn't want to return it to Zhou Yue, it's that every time she mentions it, the guy runs away, so the jade pendant has to be stored here for the time being.

After carefully examining the jade pendant for a long time, Qu Hao asked Mai Xiaohuan if she knew what Zhou Yue meant by giving her the jade pendant? Mai Xiaohuan hurriedly waved his hand, things were not at all as the eldest brother thought, this jade pendant was ......

After listening to Mai Xiaohuan's explanation, Qu Hao's expression was still unfathomable, and he didn't mean to relax at all: "If I'm not wrong, this is Zhou Yue's mother, Princess Yuanchen's personal belongings, did he give it to you do know what it means?" ”

"I always said that he didn't give me something, and it wasn't what I wanted...... Ah! How is this not clear? Mai Xiaohuan scratched her head anxiously.

I'm afraid you can't explain it in your life, Qu Hao has always felt that he and Mai Xiaohuan are smart enough, but he didn't expect Zhou Yue to be better, and unconsciously let his righteous sister fall into the trap he set.

"No matter, take it for emergency purposes first, and then find a way to give it to him later, that ...... When we get to the county guard, can we take more responsibility and try not to involve Zhou Yue, after all, he doesn't know anything about this matter. ”

These two people...... Qu Hao told himself that he would never have to worry about his sister's relatives in the future, and that they had successfully sold themselves.

The next day, Qu Hao personally went to the county office and got a decree from the county guard ordering the villagers living at the foot of the mountain to move. In the south of the city, Mai Xiaohuan requisitioned the warehouses and workshops of merchants in the name of Qu Hao to make temporary accommodation for the people.

Of course, the rich businessmen were unwilling, and the words they said were particularly ugly, Jinqiu was said to be crying, and Mai Xiaohuan waited for them to scold enough, and said lightly, "Immediately get out of the warehouse" and then withdrew to the county office.

"Girl, why do they say that about you! You are not for yourself, and Master Qu has not received any benefits from the middle, you are all good people, all for the sake of helping the people, what's wrong! Jinqiu sobbed while hugging for the two masters.

If crying can solve the problem, I will cry a lot, and after being scolded for an afternoon, Mai Xiaohuan will also feel sad. Thinking of a Qu Hao who was more dangerous and difficult than herself outside, she worked hard to cook and wait for Qu Hao to come back to eat.

When the people saw the warrant of the county guard, they knew that they couldn't leave, but in addition to the houses that they couldn't take away, those people wanted to take everything in the house and everything they could hold with them, and many of them were still driving cattle and sheep and carrying chicken coops...... If they were not allowed to take these things with them, the people would not want to go; If they were to take these animals, where would they put them? It's good that those merchants are willing to give up their warehouses for people to live in, how can they watch their own places fly and dogs jump.

"I understand that you want to bring your belongings with you, so be it! Those large items and livestock are temporarily stored in the county office, and after a few days the rain stops, how about everyone come back to claim them.

With these animals as companions, the brother and sister didn't sleep much all night, and the next day they both worked with a pair of panda eyes. The migration is still continuing, but the rain has a tendency to get smaller and smaller, and when the rain is light, many people stay in place and watch, who wants to leave without leaving home!

"Xiao Huan, did you say that the rain would stop!" If the rain stops today, the brother and sister will be scolded to death by the people of Tongbei County.

"The sooner the heavy rain stops, the less damage there will be in the field, and the more opportunities will be given to everyone to fight flooding. Of course, the two of us will become sinners in the eyes of the people of Tongbei County, and your black gauze hat may be lost, and my business will be affected, or I will be forced to sell the villa here. ”

Laughing self-deprecatingly, Mai Xiaohuan raised his head and told Qu Hao: "But I don't regret it, compared to human life, these are nothing." Big brother, if the rain still doesn't stop, let the low-lying people move to Hailan Villa to take shelter for a few days! ”

Qu Hao ordered his subordinates to convey a new directive, asking the people in the low-lying dwellings in the county town to move to Hailan Villa for a few days, and then said: "I don't regret it. ”

Infected by two people, Zhuo Qiao and Jinqiu are no longer indignant, since someone throws their faces at them, the two of them can also face it with a normal heart.

At noon, the rain actually stopped for a while, and now the people and the rich were angry, and rushed to the gate of the county government to ask Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan to give an explanation.

"I can understand your feelings, if it doesn't rain all day tomorrow and the sky clears, we'll send you home, okay?" Mai Xiaohuan stood on the steps and explained to the people.

"You are a few old people, just point fingers here, why should we listen to you, hurry up and leave here, it's better to leave our Tongbei County."

"That's it, how much money you've earned in our Tongbei County in the past few years! Give us an article? Now you are still tricking us into leaving our home, and a person with a bad heart like you should not be able to marry for the rest of his life. ”

…… ……

Qu Hao looked at Mai Xiaohuan apologetically, if it wasn't for helping herself, how could she be said to be so unbearable, she blamed herself for being useless.
