Soul Travel: I was bought by the fierce man in the village to farm
Chapter 301 The courtyard wall collapsed
Thinking about the rain, Mao Xiaosui was always half asleep. Every time she woke up, it was still raining. Uneasy, she would open the door and test the water level.
After tossing around until the rooster crowed in the backyard, Mao Xiaosui squinted again for a while. He didn't get up until it was no longer dark. When he went out, he heard loud chatter in the village.
There was a lot of water in the yard, so Wang Xiaosui took a stick to clean up the mud at the water outlet.
After watching the water start to go out, the courtyard door was opened.
The people in the village stood by the wall and shouted. Mao Xiaosui listened for a few times and seemed to be talking about things in the fields.
Mao Xiaosui couldn't help but sigh. Judging from the intensity of the rain, I guess it won't be much better. If it rains like this for a few more days, I'm afraid there will be no harvest.
You don’t have to worry about the water in the backyard and in front of the door. You only need to pour out the water in the yard.
Mao Xiaosui came out of the latrine and went to the kitchen to cook the porridge. Then he took a basin and started pouring water out.
Li Lianxin called her from below, "Is there a lot of water in your yard?"
"It's okay." Mao Xiaosui said, "I can do it myself."
Li Lianxin didn't speak again after hearing this.
The water outlet would be blocked by silt every time, and Mao Xiaosui had to clear it every time it was splashed.
After working for a long time, the water level in the yard finally dropped a lot.
The two children stuck their heads outside and stared. After finishing her work, Mao Xiaosui took a breath and called them, "Place the table and let's eat." She went to the kitchen to serve porridge.
The rain kept falling, and she had to splash water after dinner, so she didn't cook.
After finishing the porridge with salted green onions, Mao Xiaosui took a breath and planned to wash the pot. When he was clearing away the dishes, he heard a "boom".
Li Ruyi ran to lift the curtain and saw that most of the wall where she was drooling had collapsed from bottom to top, and there was still a little bit of support on the top that was not completely collapsed.
The water can no longer flow out at all.
Li Ruyi pointed at that place and shouted, "It's collapsed, it's collapsed..."
"I know." Mao Xiaosui put the bowl under the eaves and rinsed it with the water.
Use a shovel to shovel out all the collapsed soil. This will make the water flow through the gap faster, which saves you the trouble of constantly pouring water out.
There was a sunspot at home, so she wasn't very scared even if the courtyard wall collapsed. She went to the kitchen to wash the pot and then went straight to the kang to lie down.
Originally, I just wanted to relax, but I didn't want to fall asleep directly.
When she woke up, she heard Li Ruyi and Li Ankang talking. When she got off the kang and went out, she saw Li Yunshan sitting on the stool, all wet.
She was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Li Yunshan was still panting, and it seemed that he had just arrived, "There are new houses over there at the breeding farm, and the canals for water drainage have been dug. Zhao Hui seems to be fine, so I'm worried about you. Come and have a look."
"After all, this house is quite old. When the flood hit, the courtyard wall collapsed and the kitchen also leaked."
"The kitchen is also leaking?"
Li Yunshan nodded, "I just came in and took a look. The tiles are probably messed up. I'll just go and straighten them out."
"The ladder is not long enough." Mao Xiaosui said, "It's raining so hard and the courtyard walls are soft. It's too dangerous."
"It's not on the wall. The leak is at the kitchen window. Just step on the ladder and straighten the tiles with a stick."
After saying that, Li Yunshan got up, moved the ladder over, and stepped on the ladder with one foot and the wall with the other.
Li Yunshan was tall. When he stood up, it was already higher than the eaves. He stared at it for a while and said, "The tiles are indeed messed up." Then he stretched out his hand to fiddle with it for a while.
I went into the kitchen and observed for a while, and then I felt relieved after confirming that there was no new water flowing down the wall. As for the courtyard wall, since it had collapsed, I had to wait until the weather cleared to fix it.
People in the village are not at ease when the weather is not clear, and you can hear the voices of villagers shouting every now and then.
Li Yunshan also went out to check the house after a while.
The morning passed in the blink of an eye. The rain finally subsided and soon turned into drizzle. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
For lunch, Mao Xiaosui cooked some white rice. When he went to the backyard to pick vegetables, he saw the Wang family standing at the gate.
She was already planning to leave, when Mao Mingzhu asked, "How is your house?"
Mao Xiaosui hesitated for a moment before replying, "The courtyard wall collapsed."
Then I heard what the Wang family was saying, but I didn't hear it very clearly. I looked at the Wang family's house again, and then I realized that a small piece of the roof of the side room near the door of her house seemed to have collapsed.
If the courtyard wall collapses, it can be built, but if a piece of the roof collapses, it will most likely have to be rebuilt.
When she returned after picking the muddy vegetables, she saw Li Yunshan wandering around the grain room again.
Mao Xiaosui also went in and took a look around. There was no leakage anywhere, so she said, "Don't look at it. You have looked at it so many times."
Li Yunshan smiled and locked the door, saying, "This house was flooded once a few years ago. It's fine if it rains normally. If it rains too hard, it might really collapse."
"The rain has stopped, it should be okay." Mao Xiaosui didn't expect that it would start raining again soon after she said this. The drizzle didn't stop, and it started to rain heavily.
Mao Xiaosui was awakened from his nap. He immediately sat up and took a look. There was no water in the yard, but most of the courtyard wall that had collapsed now collapsed.
"It's down again," she said.
Li Yunshan frowned, "It won't be the same as that time a few years ago."
"It feels like all the grain in the fields will be wiped out by the rain this year. Maybe the millet is better, but our four acres of land are planted with wheat."
Li Yunshan also sighed sadly, "God is going to kill people, who can stop me? Our family has a lot of old food and money. If we really have no food this year, other families in the village will have to eat wild vegetables all year long."
"I hope not." Mao Xiaosui felt terrible just thinking about it. People in the village usually don't have much shame. Who knows what he might do if he were really pushed to that point.
"Don't come out. I'll go take a look first." Li Yunshan took off his coat and went out wearing only his undershirt.
First shovel out the collapsed soil in the yard without even opening the door.
He went out for a trip and came back quickly. He threw away his bamboo hat, took off his coat and put it on the stool, changed into trousers, and sat with only his coat on.
Said, "It sounds to me like someone's house collapsed."
"It looks like a piece of soil fell out of the Wang family's side house, but I don't know if it has any impact."
"I didn't pay attention." Li Yunshan said, "The noise sounded like it was at Li Yunqiang's house or the village chief's house."
"Some houses in the village have been around for a long time, right?"
Li Yunshan nodded, "It must have been twenty or thirty years ago. It should have been built by my grandfather's generation. Our house burned down once, and it was repaired when the roof was put up. It was not that strong anyway, otherwise we could still live in it for many more years." "
Mao Xiaosui stared at the rain outside and said, "Let's survive this year first. We don't know where we will be next year."
Li Yunshan thought the same thing.
