Wang Family’s Peasant Woman: Raising kids and Making wealth

“What should we do?” Gu Chunzhu grabbed Su Wangqin's sleeve. For the first time in this situation, his heart was a little trembling. If this water went into the house, how could people live there?!

“I'm going to raise the grain a little bit, Chunbu, and you're going to collect everything you put on the ground that's going to be submerged in water.” Su Wangqin went to the backyard.

Gu Chunzhu stood in front of the threshold, and the storm pounding outside the door called her to her heart to wake up a lot after a while. Look at this rain continue to fall into the house.

She hastily stacked some of the shorter items onto the box, and Su Wangqin came back a long time ago.

“What took you so long, the backyard was a little higher and the water shouldn't be easy to get in.” Gu Chunzhu said worried. He reached out and wiped Su Wangqin with a cloth.

“I also collected the children's belongings from both houses.” Su Wangqin ripped off the cloth in Gu Chunzhu's hand and said to her: “A lot of people are sleeping well now. I'd better go talk to Yingzi's mother and daughter and Dafu's family. ”

“The water got dark this night, in case there was a snake outside...” Gu Chunzhu said with an uncomfortable tone.

“It's okay.” Su Wangqin's generous palm patted lightly on Gu Chunzhu's back. "If this water enters the house in his sleep, don't spoil the food. ”

After that, Su Wangqin picked up an umbrella and rushed into the rain screen.

Gu Chunzhu looked at the shadow of his running away. He could not sleep alone in bed. After repeated turns, he got up and burned hot water in the stove room. When Su Wangqin returned, he feared that he would be wet.

Su Wangqin went for half an hour before returning. He informed the two families. He took a hot bath before going to bed with Gu Chunzhu. However, they did not sleep well.

In the second half of the night, the water poured in through the door seam, gradually poured up the corner of the table, and by the next day, it had not stopped raining overnight, and the child's cries were heard in the backyard.

“Let me see.” Gu Chunzhu couldn't hold up in bed.

“It's so deep, why don't I go get the kids.” Su Wangqin lifted his pants legs and went into the water, which had spread to his calf belly.

He came up with a good idea to grab a big wooden basin from the kitchen. He first shipped the two little ones in the wooden basin, and then he shipped Ann and Chengdu over. The family was in a big bed.

“Brother Wang, let me go too. I have to cook, I can't be hungry.” Gu Chunzhu said, "Knock," and jumped into the water. The cold water drowned in his calf belly.

Gu Chunzhu went to the stove room to take a look.

That two-eyed stove is no longer cookable. It's all in the water. Fortunately, Su Wangqin put the stove in a high place last night, and there are many dried firewood.

Gu Chunzhu and noodles boiled a lot of cakes, the two flavors of sauce and meat, first made the amount of two days, put it in a basket and brought it back to the house, also brought a copper pot of cold water and a few bowls.

“Come on, breakfast. The water is getting warm, but once the rain stops, the water returns. Let's have a few hard days first.” Gu Chunzhu threw his pants and legs to the bed. He lifted the basket containing the cake and the hot cake gave off the scent.

Several children took one and ate it. Except for Ying Ying and Xiaoling, who cried a few times, there was only the sound of eating cake and swallowing water.

Su Wangqin ate two cakes in a sigh. His eyebrows wrinkled deeply. He said to Gu Chunzhu: “Chunzhu, I want to go back to Xiaohe Village to take a look. ”

“This water is so big, how can you go?” Gu Chunzhu frowned.

“Precisely because of the water, I was worried about my parents. The county is much higher than that. This side of the town is already covered in calves. There may already be beds as high as this in the village.” Su Wangqin was also very toned.

“Brother Wang, you can't drive a wagon now, how can you go?” Gu Chunzhudao.

“Just walk back.” Su Wangqin took it seriously.

“There is still a third person in the house, then the water goes into the house, parents will naturally put the mattress high, just don't go yet, in case something happens, I will take four children with me.” Gu Chunzhu's heart has been disturbed. Su Wangqin's legs and feet are not good. How can he go back to the village alone?

“All right, let's see. Let's get the mattress high.” Su Wangqin got out of bed after talking. He took an umbrella and went around the yard. After picking up a dozen square bricks, he raised the bed. Each bed foot was padded with three bricks.

He went to the house of two more children to pick up a few quilt beds and prepare to sleep in one bed for the family today.

The rain hasn't broken since last night, it's been going on until this morning, and the rain is getting bigger and bigger, and it's coming up again, and people are halfway down to their thighs.

“Chun Bamboo, looking at the rain will not stop for a moment and a half, is really worried about parents, I am a son I can not ignore.” After Su Wangqin tested the depth of the water, he grabbed Gu Chunzhu's shoulder very seriously, he said.

Gu Chunzhu chewed his lips and didn't speak. Xiaocheng said beside him: “Dad, go. I can take care of my mother and sister. ”

“You...” Gu Chunzhu sighed.

“I'm not bad in water, nothing's going to happen. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through the night. Otherwise, I might be able to sail faster with a big wooden pot as a boat, but the big wooden pot may not hold my weight. I remember you making a few pig urine bubbles that were supposed to make winter bags. Where did you put them?” Su Wangqin wondered.

Gu Chunzhu asked in surprise: "Wang, are you trying to increase buoyancy by hanging the pig's urinary bubbles full of air on both sides of the wooden basin? ”

Though Su Wangqin did not know what a buoyancy was in Chun Bamboo's mouth, he was relieved to see that her attitude was not particularly opposed to his return to Xiaohe River Village.

Gu Chunzhu also got out of bed to help him find some pig urine bubbles that had been cleaned for a long time. Su Wangqin blew air inside and tied them tightly with a rope. He hung a total of four pig urine bubbles. He then sat on them. The big wooden pot was stable and had no intention of turning over.

“As for the paddle, I'll get you a bamboo pole as a paddle.” Gu Chunzhu pushed her umbrella into the courtyard. Luckily, the bamboo pole with the clothes on was not washed down by rain. She took it down and handed it to Su Wanqin.

“I'm going. I'll be back in peace.” Su Wangqin was dressed in clothes, supported by bamboo poles, and quickly drifted in the direction of Xiaohe Village in a wooden basin.

“Mom, I'm a little scared.” Gu Chunzhu returned to bed and arched into her arms.

“Don't be afraid, Ann is a sister. If Ann is afraid of her brother and sister, she will also be afraid.” Gu Chunzhu grabbed Lian and touched the heads of the two little guys. She grabbed a rope from her arms and asked them to flip it.
