Chapter 1152 A washboard thing
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's instructions, Sun smiled.
"Don't worry, my dear, I know what to do."
In addition to guarding against Tan and Sun, we also have to guard against Tan and Bao Suyun.
Yang Ruoqing placed Lao Yangtou and Tan in the front yard, and Bao Suyun and his wife in the backyard.
The two parties were isolated, and Tan's food, drink, and diarrhea were specially sent to the front yard.
In this way, it will not only facilitate the Yang Ruoqing family to take care of many aspects during this special period, but also effectively avoid friction and injury.
During lunch, Yang Huazhong was carrying Mr. Tan on his back, and Old Yang came over with his bedroll under his arm and carrying Mr. Tan's locked wooden box.
"Qing'er, I'll go to the front yard to serve you first. You can take a look at the food in the pot. I'll be back in a moment."
Sun stood up and said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded: "Mom, go ahead."
When the parents-in-law come over and the daughter-in-law doesn't show up, it doesn't make sense.
Mrs. Sun went to the front yard, and Bao Suyun also went to say hello.
Then soon, the two sisters came back together.
"Your mother didn't say anything, but your father praised us all the time, saying that everything we arranged was good."
After Mrs. Sun returned to the kitchen, she said happily.
Yang Ruoqing smiled.
Bao Suyun stood aside holding Mianmian in her arms.
Mianmian cried impatiently.
Bao Suyun was coaxing her, but the effect was not obvious.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's dinner time, I'm afraid Mianmian is hungry."
Bao Suyun said: "It's possible that I was busy moving the house in the morning and didn't feed her much."
Yang Ruoqing said: "The egg custard stewed for her has just been put down and is not yet cooked. Let's do this. This rice soup is good, thick and thick."
"I'll fill half a bowl and put some sugar in it. Aunt Wu, you feed it to Mianmian and put it in your stomach first."
Bao Suyun nodded: "That's good."
Facts have proved that Yang Ruoqing's words are right.
Mianmian ate the sweet rice soup and immediately became good-behaved.
He put her in his little wooden cart and sat there, while Bao Suyun squatted beside her and fed her one spoon after another.
I can still find some time to chat with Mrs. Sun over at the pot table.
"I hope this rain never rains again. If it keeps raining like this, this season's crops will be ruined."
Bao Suyundao.
"When I was in Baojia Village, there was a flood once, and the water reached the door of my house."
"When my mother does laundry, she just puts a washboard by the door."
"The higher-lying areas in the village are fine, but the families with lower-lying areas will suffer..."
Mrs. Sun listened carefully, and the expression on her face changed accordingly.
"Qing'er, is the terrain of our house high or low?" she couldn't help but ask Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Mom, don't worry, our house has the highest terrain in the village."
"If our house had been flooded, this area would have become a vast ocean, and only the roof of the old house would be left."
Moreover, when the house was being built, Yang Ruoqing had planned and designed the drawings.
Drainage is set up on slopes and corners to prevent water accumulation in the yard.
No matter how much rainwater comes, it can be drained into the ditch behind the house in time.
but……
"Mom, are you going to Ga Po's place today?" Yang Ruoqing suddenly asked.
Sun said: "I went there earlier and took a look at your grandmother's house and hers. It's very good and doesn't leak."
Yang Ruoqing asked: "Is there any water in the yard?"
Sun thought for a moment: "A little, but not much."
Yang Ruoqing frowned and said, "Mom, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll go check out Ga Po's yard next door."
"It's time to eat, why don't you go after eating?" said Sun.
Yang Ruoqing said: "I'll be back in a moment. When the meal is ready, you start the meal."
In the yard next door.
Yang Ruoqing first checked around and found that there was indeed not much water in the courtyard where people lived in front, and all the water had been drained away.
Then, she came to the large pig pen connected to the back of the yard.
Opposite the pigsty is the area where the transport teams kept their horses and mules.
When the yard at the back was first built, it was considered to be used to house livestock for fear of having a peculiar smell.
Therefore, the terrain chosen is lower than the yard where the people in front live.
If there is water accumulation, this is the most likely place in the entire compound.
Sure enough, when Yang Ruoqing came to this yard, she saw at a glance that there was much more water on the ground than in the front yard.
The eldest Sun, his uncle and Ga Gong were busy shoveling something in the big pig pen.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing coming over, Mrs. Sun was surprised.
"This place is so dirty, Qing'er, why are you here?" she asked.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Don't worry, come and have a look."
"Auntie, what are you doing?" she asked again.
Da Sun said: "No, it has rained so much, and the drainage here is blocked by pig manure. It is related to this..."
Yang Ruoqing looked around the pig pen, and saw that the water in it was up to the pig's calves.
More than fifty pigs stood in the water, waving their big ears and looking around.
The water was dirty, smelly, and had pig manure floating in it.
Yang Ruoqing was upset when she saw it. She couldn't imagine how Ga Gong and the other two people felt when they were standing inside.
"The water is not too deep right now. If the rain continues and the water accumulates, I'm really worried that these fifty pigs will drown!"
The eldest Sun said to Yang Ruoqing while he was busy.
Mr. Ga and his uncle were busy working and had no time to talk, but Yang Ruoqing saw the same worry on their faces.
Ga Gong's family came out of the mountain in the spring of last year.
The whole family left Sunjiagou, where their ancestors had lived for generations, and came to Changping Village to seek refuge with their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
Here, they have no land.
The house I live in belongs to my daughter and son-in-law's family, and the vegetable garden also belongs to my daughter and son-in-law's family.
Even the capital and land for raising pigs came from the family of my daughter and son-in-law.
Last year, they raised more than 30 pigs, and several were lost.
By the end of the year, more than 30 pigs were sold, and some money was made.
This is money they could not earn from growing crops in the mountains for several years.
They keep part of the money to manage the family's living expenses, and part of it is used for capital.
They tasted the benefits last year, and this year they planned to raise more pigs, so they got more than fifty pigs in one go.
With experience, the loss of this group of pigs this year is much smaller than last year.
From the first month to the seventh month, the pigs have grown in size.
In another month or two, you will be able to start exchanging them for tinkling silver.
At this juncture, if there is a disaster, the pigs will be gone.
That's really...
Yang Ruoqing didn't think about it any more.
Her eyes fell on the pig pen.
When this pigsty was first built, ventilation was taken into consideration, so it was built very high and wide inside.
In other words, the indoor height of this pigsty is nearly twice as high as a house where people live.
"Gong Ga, uncle, aunt, please take a break. I have a suggestion for your reference." Yang Ruoqing said.
