Chapter 278: The House Collapsed
Susie wandered around the mountain until almost four o'clock, and picked a lot of mushrooms in her basket.
She only picked a few that she recognized, and no matter how delicious the mushrooms she didn't recognize, she didn't dare to pick them.
Dinner was a fragrant mushroom soup.
The next morning, it began to rain heavily.
None of them worked.
Who knew that it would rain for several days in a row, and everyone nested in the house for several days.
That afternoon, when the rain stopped, Susie had dinner and went to her grandmother's house.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw some things in the hall.
When Susie entered the house, she saw Xu Zhilin bringing out a bulging snakeskin bag from the house.
Susie spun around and entered the old lady's room.
The old lady sat in the room and rubbed the hemp rope, Susie went over to sit down, and whispered, "Second uncle, is this going to move?" ”
The old lady nodded, "Said that it was for the convenience of Xu Hang's study, so I bought a house in the county town, packed it up, and moved over early tomorrow morning."
Susie was a little surprised: "Found the house so quickly?" ”
The old lady rubbed the hemp rope and said, "It is said that it is a house that I was optimistic about last year." ”
"At that time, they asked me to get money, but I didn't give it, and it seems that the man in the family was seriously ill, had surgery at the end of last year, borrowed a lot of debt, and now he still has to take medicine, and the family is also in difficulty, so he can only sell the house."
Susie paid close attention to the old lady's expression, and could not see any joy or anger.
Susie gossiped with the old lady for a while, and then went back.
It rained again the next day, but fortunately it didn't rain much.
Susie looked at the roof and worried, It was raining every day, and it felt like the roof was going to leak sooner or later.
At dinner in the evening, Zhu Zhicheng said: "This rain is so raining, I'm a little worried about this house." ”
Tian Xiaohui nodded, "Me too, I'm worried about leaking rain like last time."
Zhu Zhicheng shook his head, "The rain leakage is a small problem, and I'm worried about the foundation of this house." ”
Qiao Mu said beside him: "Where there is a foundation in this house, there is only an earthen platform." ”
To really lay the foundation, you have to dig about a meter down, then put a steel cage, and you have to pour cement into it.
Zhu Zhicheng said: "That's right, this muddy wall foundation is soaked in water every day, I'm really afraid that this house can't stand it." ”
Zhao Tingting said in surprise: "Not really." ”
Zhu Zhicheng shook his head, "It's not good to say." ”
Several female intellectuals looked at each other when they heard this.
Zhu Zhicheng said: "Don't be too nervous, I'm talking about the worst-case scenario." ”
When I woke up the next morning, it was raining heavily.
Susie paid attention to it, there was a narrow drainage ditch around the house, but the rain was too heavy for the water to drain out, and there was water all around the house.
Susie looked at it for a while, suddenly felt a stomachache, went back to the house, put on rain boots and ran to the toilet.
Last night, the temperature was low, she didn't add a quilt, and she caught a little cold.
As soon as she came out of the toilet, Zhao Tingting ran back with a hat, ran to the eaves and shouted: "The captain told everyone to go to work, the crops in the field are almost flooded, and we have to dig a ditch to drain the water." ”
At this time, crops are the lifeblood of the members.
Everyone in the house came out, some wearing raincoats, some wearing hats, and they were all going to work.
Susie put on rain boots, a raincoat, and a hat, and walked out with everyone.
After not taking a few steps, Susie's stomach cramped, "No, I have to go to the toilet." ”
Tian Xiaohui said: "You've been running a few times in the morning, you're having diarrhea." ”
Qiao Mu looked at her worriedly, "Don't go, just rest at home, drink some hot water, and if you still have diarrhea at noon, I will go to the county to buy medicine for you." ”
Zhao Tingting turned around and said, "You drink some hot water, and then pour a salt water bottle and cover your stomach to see if it will be better." ”
She had read the Barefoot Doctor's Handbook, which had such a method.
Susie nodded and hurried to the latrine.
Susie went to the toilet and came back, feeling that her legs were a little weak.
Hurriedly went to the stove house to boil water, boiled water and drank some water, and then filled a salt water bottle, the salt water bottle was wrapped in a towel, covered in the stomach, and felt a lot more comfortable.
When it was almost noon, the rain was much lighter, and Susie saw that it was half past eleven, so she went to the stove house to cook.
As soon as I cooked the rice, my stomach started to hurt again.
Susie had to go back to the house, put on her rain boots, put on her hat, and go to the latrine at the back of the house.
It's also fatal to go to the toilet in this weather.
The rain boots were covered with thin mud, and they slipped while walking, and they had to be very careful when squatting in the latrine, for fear of slipping and falling down.
As soon as Susie squatted down, she heard a loud noise outside, and she was so startled that she almost didn't fall.
In about ten minutes, Susie finished solving the problem, lifted the sackcloth and came out of the latrine, stunned.
The house, which had been fine before she came in, had completely collapsed and was a pile of mud.
The thatch on the roof blew the whole yard everywhere.
Zhu Zhicheng and Yuan Gang were full of anxiety, and one person took a wooden board and was planing the house.
Chen Changqing and Zhang Weidong were also holding something to lift the dirt.
The arbor seemed to be crazy, and his two hands were frantically digging in the mud.
Susie shouted, "Arbor! ”
Qiao Mu was stunned, and suddenly turned his head and saw Susie standing outside the toilet.
He rushed over like crazy and hugged her tightly.
Qiao Mu was already soaking wet, and he hugged Susie with all his might, and his heart was beating so fast that he almost jumped out of his chest.
Not far away, Chen Changqing and the others glanced over here, and stopped for a moment.
Yuan Gang and Zhu Zhicheng also looked over to this side, and the two turned around tacitly, and then threw the wooden board in their hands.
They had just come home from work, and when they entered the yard, they saw that the whole house had collapsed.
Everyone was chuckling in their hearts.
Qiao Mu didn't think about it, so he rushed up to lift the thatch and beams.
Tian Xiaohui and Zhao Tingting were stunned, Zhu Zhicheng was quite calm, and immediately said: "Tian Xiaohui, go and call people, call more people." ”
"Zhao Tingting, hurry up and go to the warehouse to get a few more shovels, be quick."
Zhao Tingting and Tian Xiaohui ran while crying.
The rest of the people quickly judged the location, lifted the beams together, and began to dig into the house where Susie lived.
Unexpectedly, digging and digging, Susie came out of the latrine.
was hugged by Qiao Mu, and then everyone watched from the side, Susie was embarrassed.
She understood Qiao Mu's mood very well, she reached out and patted him lightly on the back, "Okay, I'm fine." ”
She blushed, "Don't hug it, there are still a lot of people in the yard, everyone has seen it!" ”
Qiao Mu slowly let go of her.
Susie saw that Qiao Mu's face was full of water, and she didn't know if it was rain or tears.
She reached out and wiped it for him, and then said softly, "Let's stop standing here stupidly, hurry up and find a place to shelter from the rain." ”
At this time, the cat ran out of nowhere and barked at Susie's feet.
Susie quickly picked it up, "It's good that you're okay, I almost forgot about you." ”
She walked to Chen Changqing with the cat in her arms, "Team Leader Chen, what should I do?" ”
Chen Changqing smiled bitterly: "How do I know what to do?" ”
"Our food, luggage, and clothes are still in it, but I'm afraid we still have to dig them out."
