Chapter 32: After the Flood
The heavy rain only stopped for a while, as if they had set aside time for the bitter summer to rush back, and Doctor Qi was treating Wang Damu's leg injury there, and it was already pouring rain again.
The sound of thunder and rain is intertwined, but the villagers are no longer worried at this time, their relatives are around, they are guarding the mountains of food, and they don't have to worry about being watered by the rain, they are full of security!
The village chief of the Wang family has been cheering for the villagers, telling them that the heavy rain will always pass, and they now have so much food that they will not be starving to death, and beckoned the villagers to use the wood they have stored for a long time to make a fire, so that the big guys can eat a hot meal.
When the villagers were preparing the meal, they couldn't help but feel high, it was the first time since the drought that it was so extravagant, they didn't have to deliberately add more water to the pot when cooking, this time they had to eat dry rice!
Everyone eats two bowls, eats and vomits!
Each of these villagers has contributed to the cultivation of the land, the village chief has a book here, and remembers the amount of labor of each of them clearly, and distributes the grain according to the amount of labor of each of them, except for a few lazy people Laizi, every family is not lazy, up to seventy-nine, down to just leaving, they all went to the field to help, so each family received a lot of food.
They are not stingy to take out their share, let the big guys have a lively meal together, the village chief also plans to do so, he has already told the villagers in advance, these two days because of the special situation, the big guys will eat together, after two days of rain, they are redistributing food.
At this time, no one quarreled over the one catty and two catties of grain, and each family could divide a few hundred catties, not one catty or two catties.
As for the lazy men and laizi who didn't do much work, the village chief and the villagers chose to ignore them, they let them have a full meal here for the past two days, and when they divided the food in two days, they naturally let them know the consequences of their laziness.
The village chief personally took a bowl of rice and mixed it with water to give it to Wang Ershui and his mother, this old lady was drenched in a lot of rain outside that day, a little cold, she has been dizzy for the past few days, Wang Ershui doesn't care about her, all the villagers are taking a hand.
Wang Ershui and his mother leaned on the edge of the shed, Wang Lao Village Chief pushed her, Wang Ershui and his mother opened her confused eyes and looked at him, and then waved her hand and asked him to give the food to Wang Ershui, "I am an old woman, eat less and eat more, it's nothing, give Ershui to eat." ”
The old village chief sighed and said, "Old sister-in-law, I have already told you, why are you still ......?"
Wang Ershui and his mother just sighed and didn't say anything, the old village chief knew that no matter how many mistakes his son made, she, the mother, had to be tolerated, and when the mother Xibi was thinking about her son all the time, but the son was thinking about how to get rid of the old lady and live for a while longer with those grains.
Wang Ershui is the least of these people in Wangjia Village, and there are only two people in their family, he and his mother, who are old and weak to do farm work, no matter how hard they work, they can't withstand a young man in other people's families.
Wang Ershui couldn't do much, at that time, he and Wang Gouzi went to Kuxia's house to steal things, and were punished by the old village chief to go to Kuxia's house to work, and the old village chief didn't let them work in vain, and they couldn't be starved to death in exchange for rations.
After two months of work, after the completion of the wasteland, they were not needed in the bitter summer, these two people did not say that they went to work in the field when they were idle, they were still the same, and when they were really hungry, they went to catch two locusts and beat their teeth, which was also hungry and ruthless, otherwise they would not take the locusts to catch.
The old village chief often has a headache because of these two lazy people, but what can be done? He is the head of a village, and the whole village has to worry about him, even if he doesn't look at the virtues of these two people, he has to take care of them.
Don't look at their face, but also look at the face of their family, Wangjia Village is so big, and the people in the village can always be counted as relatives if they turn around a few times.
The old village chief forcibly stuffed the rice bowl into Wang Ershui's mother's hands, "Old sister-in-law, let's eat some, if you're hungry, what can he do alone!" ”
mentioned her son, Wang Ershui and his mother still held the bowl and ate it.
The village chief went to visit the two wounded again, and Yu Dalin and Wang Damu were chatting head to head, looking in good spirits.
In order to facilitate the care of Dr. Qi, the two wounded were all laid with red millet poles and lay together, it was already wet on a rainy day, and they were injured again.
The village chief was glad more than once that he had listened to Ku Xia's advice, otherwise how could their village be so comfortable as they are now, maybe they would have been washed away by the flood, or buried under the mudslide.
In the future, he really has to listen to his opinion on Aunt Yu, this is a person who dares to think and dare to do, unlike him, although he has doubts, but he also doesn't want to alarm the villagers, and then look at him Yu Auntie's heart has doubts and puts it into action, this action is to save the lives and food of the whole village!
When such a big flood occurs, the county will definitely have to come over, and the village chief has planned it in his heart, he has to talk about Kuxia and the above, so that the top will reward Kuxia's family, and it is best to give them a real estate and buy land, so that they can really have a place to stay, and then there are no good things in the county that can't leave them behind.
Ku Xia didn't know the village chief's plan yet, she didn't think of this layer at all when she helped the people in Wangjia Village, she just didn't want these people in Wangjia Village to suffer, now that she already knew, Xiao Fubao also warned like in the plot, it was impossible for her to turn a blind eye to the more than 50 lives in Wangjia Village.
Ku Xia sat at the door of the shed with Xiao Fubao in his arms and watched the rain outside, the rain in the plot only stopped for three days and three nights, it's been a day, if the plot is not wrong, the rain should stop the day after tomorrow.
The plot is still quite accurate, two days later, in the early morning, everyone was asleep, the rain outside slowly became smaller, and finally all the dark clouds dissipated, revealing the stars in the dark night sky, the moon rose at some point, hanging high in the air, illuminating all creatures in the world with its gentle light.
"Ahh
Xiao Fubao, who was lying in Li Laidi's arms, did not fall asleep, this position just happened to see the moon outside, Xiao Fubao's two dark eyes stared at the moon for a long time, I didn't know what to think, I grinned and smiled very happily, and I babbled with myself for a long time before closing my eyes and falling asleep peacefully.
The next morning, the crowd was awakened by the warm sunshine and the chirping of birds.
"The rain has stopped!"
