Raiders of peasant girls

Chapter 54
When Yang said this, Jingyao swallowed what she originally wanted to say, and Xiao Si's good mood of gloating because of the third aunt's training suddenly disappeared.With drooping head, he said lazily,

"Got it, ma'am"

"Mother, let you have a good rest, why are you doing embroidery work again?" Jingyao saw the embroidery work in Yang's hands as soon as she entered the door.

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang smiled, "Mother hurt her leg, not her hand. Anyway, I can't do anything else without going out of the house. These are things my mother is used to doing, and it's not tiring."

"But you need to rest more now! Our family will not be short of this money for a while, mother, why are you working so hard?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Yang smiled again, and said no more.

If you can't persuade Yang Shi Jingyao, you can only take care of her while she is recuperating.

It's just that in such a sweltering day, Yang can still calm down and embroider flowers. For such a person who has no professional training, Jing Yao also admires it.

The weather in summer is always so cloudy and cloudy. It was still hot and stuffy just now, but in a blink of an eye there was a heavy rainstorm. The rain came and went heavy, and it didn't stop until night.

Fortunately, the rain stopped the next day. Although the roads in the mountains and fields are not easy to walk, it is still convenient to go to the place where Jingyao picked last time.

Avoiding everyone's eyes, Jingyao arrived at the place with Xiaosi and Xiaowu very easily.The mint baptized by the rain exudes a strong fragrance. Picking off a few old leaves and rubbing it on the arms immediately relieves a bit of dryness.Seeing Jingyao like this, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu also smeared each other.

"Third sister, it's so cool to wipe this thing on your body!"

"Xiao Wu is right, sister, this thing is really comfortable to touch."

"Of course, you can put some on your body before going to bed at night, and the mosquitoes won't bite you."

"Third sister, can I touch it for my younger sister?"

"It's okay to apply less, but you can't put it on your face. That's all right, you and Xiao Si will help pick the leaves first, and I will tell my third aunt when we get home."

Now Dalang Erlang wants to study, and the rest of the family, Jingyao, hates being too conspicuous, so she can only grab Xiaosi and Xiaowu to help. Fortunately, the mint leaves don’t grow on trees, and don’t put them in baskets. load bearing.A few little kids come and go, others just treat it as pigweed.

After running several times in a row, she picked off the mint leaf that Jingyao found, and when she returned to Wang's house, it was Shen who took the lead to clean the leaves. Originally, Lu didn't want to move, but Yuan's big eyes After staring at Lu Shi, he lowered his head and consciously went to help.

When Xin Hao was making mint leaves this time, Jingyao’s newly built small kang platform was ready, and finally there was no need to burn Yuan’s old kang, which meant that this one would not stick out its head and ask questions, and that one would also stick out Head question.

Even if there are so many good people asking, Jingyao can still be said to care about pig food.

I dried the mint leaves picked by my own family and cut them into pieces. During the period, I also collected two large baskets of mint leaves from Aunt Ma’s house, and finally completed the first batch production of mint tea.

It's just that this mint tea has only had time to make this batch, even the Albizia julibrissin did not come to see if there are any fresher flowers.

After the end of July, the rainy season in the Qinghe area should have passed, but I don't know what happened this year, but it has been raining continuously since the beginning of August.

The old man Wang from the Wang family looked at the rain outside the house, and his heart sank more and more.

"Grandpa, when will it rain?"

There is no weather forecast in this era, and only experienced old people may check the weather or something.Since the rain started to fall this time, old man Wang has been looking at the sky for a while every day, but he doesn't know if he sees anything, so Jingyao asked this question.

"Hey, I'm afraid the sky is going to make a mistake." Old man Wang sighed, "This kind of rainfall happened once when I first arrived in Hexi Village a few decades ago, but that time the rain finally stopped, and the water in the river was It's coming out."

"What about this time?" If so, it's time to make preparations.

"This time? It's hard to say!" Old man Wang shook his head, and went back to the house to watch his grandsons read and write.

Because of the continuous heavy rain and the difficulty of walking in the village, the school was also closed for a few days, and Dalang and Erlang both read and practiced calligraphy at home.

"Grandpa, has there ever been a flood in the village?" Was it the one decades ago?Is it serious?This is what Jingyao wants to know more.

As if he knew what Jingyao wanted to ask, old man Wang carefully recalled the scene of that year, and said after a long while, "There was a flood a hundred years ago, and many people died. The flood a few decades ago is not considered a flood, it means the depth of the water. a bit."

Old man Wang's words didn't make Jingyao feel much relieved, no matter what she lived by the river, she still had to make preparations in advance.Jingyao carefully thought about the things that need to be prepared in the event of a flood in modern times, but the more she thought about it, the more powerless she felt.

Because the best defense she thought for a long time was to temporarily move out of here, but this seemed impossible, and where could a large family move?

By the way, based on her usual observations of this place, the highest place is the mountain behind the village. If the flood really comes, she must run to a higher place. It seems that she has to hide more on the mountain first. Just eat.

Moreover, the flood washed away very quickly. Many people would be washed away by the flood if they could not reach the mountain. It would be great if there was a swimming ring or something, at least they would not be drowned even if they were washed away.

In fact, in her opinion, it would be better to live in the mountains. Of course, this can only be thought about, because there are too many wild wolves and wild boars in the deep mountains.

Speaking of the rain, Mrs. Yuan was also very annoying. As soon as the grandfather and grandson had finished discussing the rain disaster, Mrs. Yuan couldn't help complaining again, "I don't know when this damn day will fall!" The rain started to fall one after another, and Yuan's complaints continued, and Jingyao could hear cocoons in her ears.

Not wanting to hear Yuan's endless complaints, and she remembered what to use to make some tools that could save lives on water, so she held up an oil-paper umbrella and rushed out.Completely ignoring Yuan Shi behind her, she shouted again, "Hey, where are you going in such a heavy rain?"

Wang Orion's home
"Boom, boom, boom..."

"Who is knocking on the door again? Don't you know that it's raining so hard and you have to come out to open the door? It's really unlovable..."

Jingyao, who has excellent ears through the door, still heard Wang Orion's broken thoughts, and her nervous heart eased. Thinking of what the other party said, a few black lines appeared on her forehead.

"Crackling" the door opened and a head was exposed. Seeing that it was Jingyao, Wang Orion hurriedly opened the door.

"Wang Sanmei, didn't I tell you to walk over the wall?"

"Forgot." Jing Yao blinked, it's better to say that than she said she did it on purpose. "Where's your grandfather?"
