Wangfu small peasant girl

Chapter 1456 Desire
Building a dam is a big project, even if every household contributes labor, there are still not enough people, so Xu Ruyue asked the long-term workers in the farm to help if they had nothing to do.

This matter was really put on the agenda in this way, and the common people dug rocks and prepared tools and materials.

But the difficulties encountered in the past are far more than they imagined. Only when these difficulties are overcome one by one, can the dam be really built.

This is not only a big project, but also a dangerous project. If you don’t pay attention, someone will fall into the rushing water. If the current is too fast, no matter how good your water quality is, you will be swept away by the water.

There are even your relatives on the shore. They just watched you being submerged in the water, but they were helpless and unable to help. The painful feeling makes people uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Apart from donating money, Xu Ruyue couldn't do much else. She remembered that Chen Bo and his wife had collected the dried bamboo shoots for her. After so long, she didn't know what happened, so she thought Ask someone to go to Chen Bo's house to ask.

But recently, she didn't have any important things to do at home, and the weather wasn't too hot. After thinking about it, she decided to take Chu Yang with her.

It happened that Minglang was also at home that day, and seeing that she was going out, he asked her.

Knowing that she was going to the family's house last time, Minglang would go with her no matter what she said, Xu Ruyue couldn't resist him, so she had to take him with her.

She knew that this man was not at ease, and she was afraid that the family had something bad in mind, so she had to go and see for herself to be at ease.

This time, the destination was very clear. I got on the carriage and walked directly to that place, so I arrived soon.

Xu Ruyue didn't see Uncle Chen in the field beside the road, so Xu Ruyue took him directly to Uncle Chen's house.

Chu Yang still remembered this place, just after getting off the carriage, he said with a smile, "Grandpa, grandpa."

He pointed to the yard of Uncle Chen's house with his little finger, Xu Ruyue quickly patted his head, and said with a smile, "Chuyang is so smart, you still remember Grandpa Chen's house, right?"

"Yes." Chu Yang nodded vigorously, he still remembered, and then smiled.

Seeing Minglang at the side, he opened his arms again to ask him to hug him, "Daddy carry me away."

Ming Lang muttered in a low voice, "You don't have long legs, do you?"

But the smile on her face remained undiminished, she bent down obediently and picked up her son, Xu Ruyue curled her lips, is this because she thinks her mouth is straight?
When the whole family arrived outside Chen Bo's courtyard, Xu Ruyue called out, "Uncle Chen, aunt, are you home?"

When the people inside heard the movement, they immediately came out of the house. It was Mrs. Liu.

Seeing Xu Ruyue, Mrs. Liu was overjoyed, and hurried over to open the door, "Oh girl, it's you, come in quickly, come in quickly, the sun is so hot outside, it's so hot, bring the child in quickly, don't It's hot."

Still as enthusiastic as last time, Xu Ruyue felt warm in his heart as soon as he entered the courtyard, Ming Lang followed behind and looked around, Xu Ruyue could tell that so far, he was still very at ease with this family.

The sun is indeed getting bigger today than when we came last time, and they couldn't sit still in the yard. Mrs. Liu led them to sit in the main room, made tea quickly, and said with a smile, "I really didn't expect that you would meet today. Come here, if you know, don't let the old man go out."

Xu Ruyue asked her, "Is Uncle Chen not at home? Where have you been?"

Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "I went to repair the dam. The old man knew that the dam was going to be repaired. He was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He said he would go there and help out."

Xu Ruyue frowned, "Uncle Chen is so old, why is he still helping? Didn't the Yamen say that only young and middle-aged laborers are needed?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and nodded, "Who said no? He went to the yamen to sign up by himself, and they didn't want him. As a result, the old man is also a stickler, so he has to help."

"How can this be done? It is still quite dangerous to build embankments. Uncle Chen is getting old. If he loses his stability when walking and falls into the water, it will be over."

Mrs. Liu sighed, "I know this truth, and the old man knows it too, but I don't stop him if he wants to go, let him go, girl, you don't know, our old couple used to have two My son, but those two boys suffered a lot, and they were washed away by the water when the flood broke out."

"When the water washed away, the two of us were watching from the side. We wanted to reach out to pull, but we couldn't. The old man jumped into the water to save his son, but he couldn't help it. He just watched his son helplessly. Go farther and farther."

"They were crying and calling for their parents, but we couldn't help it. It was God who opened his eyes and let the old man come back safely. Otherwise... how will my old woman live this life?"

"The two sons I gave birth to with great difficulty have grown so big, but in the end I didn't even find a corpse. Every time I think of this, my heart..."

Speaking of sad things, Liu Shi was very sad, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, Xu Ruyue also felt her eyes sore, and quickly held her hand and said, "Ma'am, don't talk about this."

Mrs. Liu wiped her eyes and laughed, "Yes, let's not talk about this, now we Xinchuan people are blessed, wait for a good official to help us repair the dam, if the court doesn't allocate money, Mr. Han will take Let everyone fix it by themselves."

"We Xinchuan people are able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and none of them are cowards. As long as someone takes the lead, everyone will build the dam even if they try their best. What does it matter if you die? As long as future generations are safe Just live your life."

Xu Ruyue understood what she meant, and it was because of this that she was relieved to let Uncle Chen go to the embankment to help. People who were worried about whether Uncle Chen would drink alcohol would hurt his health, but now they know that the embankment is dangerous, or let him go.

It must be because of the wish for many years, she thought so in her heart, and she also knew that Uncle Chen must have thought this way in her heart, the two couples really understood.

At the same time, Xu Ruyue felt very emotional in her heart. It seemed that the Xinchuan people's desire to build dams was stronger than she imagined.

Seeing that Xu Ruyue was also sad, Chu Yang touched her eyes, and Liu quickly said with a smile, "It's alright, alright, don't talk about it, you brought Chu Yang's father here today?"

She noticed Qingming just now, and started talking about other things just after entering the door, without bothering to ask.

Xu Ruyue nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, this is my husband-in-law named Minglang."

"Master, this is Mrs. Liu, I told you before." Xu Ruyue introduced to Ming Lang with a smile.
