Hong Lianshuo and the others walked around the city, knowing that where the water was accumulating, the low adobe houses could not stop the surging rainwater from pouring into the houses.

On this street, all the men are holding wooden basins and splashing water vigorously, but they look in vain, but they never stop.

It was raining heavily outside, and it was raining lightly inside the house, and the thatched roof couldn't stop the pouring rain.

The rain that poured outward just splashed Hong Lianshuo and them.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The simple man hurriedly apologized.

"It's okay, the rain has drenched us." Hong Lianshuo looked at him mildly when he heard this, and said, "You guys are useless like this!" The water still flowed into the house. ”

"What can I do? That's the only way to do it, don't let the water into the house! ”

"Our adobe house can't stand the rain."

"Lady Hong, why are you here, it's raining so hard."

The men on the street ran out and looked at them worriedly in the rain.

"It looks like the water is worse than I thought, the road has to be rebuilt, and the house has to be rebuilt." Hong Lianshuo looked at them who were standing in the rain and said depressed.

"I also know that the house is rebuilt, and it has to be built high, but we can't build a house, we don't have the ability!"

"It's going to cost a lot of money, I don't have that much money?"

"I want to build a house in my dreams, and the house I build is not afraid of wind and rain, but I can only dream."

"Do you know how to work as a mason?" Hong Lianshuo stretched out his hand to wipe the rain from his face, looked at them and asked.

"A little bit!"

"I'll go to the roof beam!"

"Do you know how to make adobe?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and asked.

"Who wouldn't!"

"Then let's tear down the adobe houses, repair the pavement, and rebuild the houses. Yes! Together. Hong Lianshuo pointed at them with his index finger and said, "You all have to do your best!" ”

】

"Really?" They looked at Hong Lianshuo in disbelief and said.

"Why should I lie to you?" Hong Lianshuo's unusually bright eyes washed by the rain looked at them and said.

"What are you telling me to do? What am I going to do? One by one, they answered cheerfully.

"Then when the autumn is planted, let's re-plan, build roads, and build houses. So that there is no water on the road, and the house is no longer soaked by rain. It's no longer a heavy rain outside the house, a light rain inside the house. Hong Lianshuo happily announced.

"Oops!" They nodded excitedly, then looked at the adobe house, "you, do you hear me?" We'll have a new house to live in soon. ”

"I heard you!" The men, women, and children in this room all ran out and shouted in unison, "Thank you, Mrs. Hong." ”

"Oops! Get inside, get in, it's still raining! What if you get gonorrhea! Hong Lianshuo saw that the people on the entire street were standing in the rain, and hurriedly urged.

"It's hot, it's okay to get a little rain." They grinned.

"Go back, go back, there are still old people and children!" Chen Zhongyuan waved his hands and urged.

"It's okay, it's a little rain, let's just cook some ginger soup and pour two bowls."

"Go back, go back." Chen Zhongyuan Dahuan looked at the stubborn them and said, "We also have to leave to see somewhere else." Go back quickly. ”

"This water has flowed in, hurry up and splash it out!" Hong Lianshuo pointed to the stormwater drain that had been washed down.

"Anyway, if you want to build a new one, rush it!"

"That's it, that is, the old doesn't go, the new doesn't come."

"This house wasn't built in a day, and you won't have a place to sleep tonight." Hong Lianshuo kindly reminded them.

"Oops!" They scattered in a hurry and rushed into the house and continued to splash water outside.

"Let's go! Don't delay people. Hong Lianshuo said when he heard this, looking left and right.

"Hmm!" Chen Zhongyuan nodded, and they left Nancheng, taking advantage of the heavy rain to turn around the county.

"Outside the city is better than I thought it would be." Hong Lianshuo stood on the ridge and looked at the rainwater channel flowing eastward.

"This is the estuary, high in the west and low in the east, and there will be no stagnant water." Han Baohu smiled when he heard this, "Unless Hong Feng crosses, it won't be flooded." ”

"Oh! The rain was light. Chen Zhongyuan raised his hand and tried it, "It's so small." ”

"You see the sun is coming out, and there is a rainbow." Lin Nanzheng pointed to the sky where the dark clouds had dissipated, and there was a very obvious rainbow hanging in the sky.

Hong Lianshuo took off his hat and looked at the fields on both sides of the ridge, "It's finally stopped, it won't cause too much damage." ”

Even if there is stagnant water, it will soon seep down.

"Let's go! Let's go back. Hong Lianshuo shook the water on the hat and looked at them and said.

"The real estate of the gentry and wealthy families in the city will definitely not be distributed to the lonely and widowed old people, so what should I do with the houses that are left?" Han Baohu's light brown Tong Ren looked at her and asked.

"Transform it into a school, and for the rest, listen to the ideas of the people in the city! If you are willing to live in their house, then draw lots. But the house has to be planned. lest there be a quarrel and a fight in the future. Hong Lianshuo heard this, and looked at them lightly and said.

"Fighting?" Lin Nanzheng looked at her suspiciously and said.

"In the courtyard, there are many people, so naturally there are not many." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at them and said.

"It's better to have a separate house, or a new house." When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, Dahuan looked at them and said, "No matter, let them choose by themselves, don't regret if you choose." ”

"Still have questions?" Hong Lianshuo gently shook his hat and said, a rainstorm came down, and it was not much cooler.

"Your land has been divided, and the grain has been collected into the warehouse, how can we collect our taxes!" Han Baohu's brown Tong Ren looked at her and said.

"After two days, the road will be good, and the tax notice will be posted." Hong Lianshuo thought seriously for a moment when he heard this, then shook his head and said, "No, they don't know how to read." Ring the gong of the county government and notify from door to door! ”

"Okay!" Chen Zhongyuan responded cheerfully, "I have a loud voice, I come." ”

While speaking, Hong Lianshuo and the others returned to the county office, and then took a shower happily and changed into clean clothes.

Under the corridor, Hong Lianshuo sat cross-legged on the grass ball, drying her hair, and suddenly the sound of an eagle crying attracted her attention.

Hong Lianshuo stared at the vulture with wariness in his eyes, swooping down on her.

"Yikes!" Hong Lianshuo looked at the bamboo pipe tied to its feet and recognized it as his own bird.

Hong Lianshuo's eyes softened suddenly, and he watched it fall to the ground and walked towards him.

Hong Lianshuo stretched out his hand and pulled out a small note from the bamboo pipe on his feet, unfolded it, and smiled, "The wheat is harvested, and the grains are returned to the warehouse." He said to himself, "Great." Patting the vulture's head, he said, "Wait here, I'll treat you later." ”

Pull the half-dried hair directly into a bun and take the note to the back office.

Hong Lianshuo stood at the door and shouted to the shadow wall, "Central Plains, capture the tiger, southern expedition, there is news from home." The news sent by the vultures, the wheat harvest is finished, and the grains are returned to the warehouse. ”
