Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

Chapter 660: Strategy for the Bookish Male Educated Youth 30

The rain was like God shedding tears, and it rained for three whole days.

Everyone went from being happy at the beginning to being worried later on.

It's not raining now, so people are looking forward to it, but when it rains continuously, people start to worry about the crops in the fields.

Some people's houses collapsed due to the heavy rain. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but their homes were damaged.

Some of the money, bills and clothes were all wet, and it would undoubtedly be extremely difficult to build a house in the rain.

All you can say is that you are staying at someone else's house for a period of time. For those who have relatives and some who don't, it becomes a complete problem.

The house built by the Youth League Institute was quite new and could last for a while, but last time they built a wall without permission, it collapsed when it rained and crushed half of the house. The collapsed part happened to be the boys' dormitory.

The girls' room next door was still fine, so the male educated youth could only take refuge in other people's homes.

Because the team leader's family was their best relative, the three of them moved in with them.

After paying for food and accommodation, they squeezed in with the two Bao brothers, and even Chengcheng's room was occupied by several girls, most of whom were from other villages who had been transferred here in order to ask for water.

Now that they are all new brides, it doesn't matter if other people in the family suffer a little, but these new brides must not suffer. If a natural disaster like this happens to a baby in her belly, the whole family will be shrouded in shadow if anything happens to them.

So these people were sent to the captain's house by their families for temporary refuge, while other people in their families would squeeze in with other families if possible, and if not, they would just have to sleep in the broken house.

The captain also had good intentions. He accepted everyone as long as their family could accommodate them. As a result, except for the warehouse where the beans were stored, there were quite a few people in every other room.

Her family was the least affected by the disaster, but because of the heavy rain, they were afraid that the beans in the warehouse would be damaged, so they had to put up wooden boards at the door to prevent the water from flooding in.

In addition, the batch of goods to be delivered to the city also had to be rushed, and the tofu could not be delayed even in the heavy rain.

It is not difficult to make tofu if there are more people at home, but the main problem is the trouble of delivering the tofu.

In order to ensure the integrity of the tofu, I covered the tofu with a raincoat and wrapped it tightly. If the raincoat was not enough, I used clean clothes at home to wrap it.

The big tractor was difficult to drive in the rain, and I was worried about who could hold the tofu, so all three drivers went out on this trip, and the Bao family members sat in the back in an orderly manner.

The house is temporarily taken care of by the grandparents, and the three male educated youth are watching over it to ensure safety.

It took an hour to deliver the tofu to the supply and marketing cooperative. Fortunately, the leader of the supply and marketing cooperative knew the weather conditions and was quite understanding, and paid them according to the agreed price.

Only after there was no problem with the tofu and they received the money did everyone relax from their cautious state of mind.

But she got soaked all over while trying to protect Tofu. On the way back, her father bought dozens of raincoats and had everyone change into the remaining ones. He also bought a lot of sweet potatoes and plastic sheets to wrap the extra raincoats.

When I got home, I covered the tractor with plastic sheeting, cut out the remaining pieces and stored them, and put the sweet potatoes in the kitchen for everyone to roast and eat.

This weather is the best for eating roasted sweet potatoes. The yield here is small and the sweet potatoes planted now are not yet mature. The sweet potatoes you can see are all imported from other places. The price is a little expensive, but the advantage is that they are big, and one sweet potato can fill your stomach.

When the sweet potatoes were baked, her father gave one to each of them and put the remaining ones together. He put on a raincoat, covered the steaming sweet potatoes with it, and went out.

Who could fail to notice such obvious behavior? When the grandparents of the Bao family saw it, they wanted to snatch it back, but they were waved away by the captain and stopped by the Bao brothers.

He watched the captain leave, cursing non-stop.

Everyone in the family knew who she was, and they ignored her as if it was nothing new.

The other people staying here felt awkward. Some agreed with her and some disagreed, but they all remained unanimous in not saying anything.

After all, it's not your own business, so just watch the fun.

It was also because of Grandma Bao's behavior that many people who had this meal no longer envied the opportunity to marry into the captain's family in the future.

What’s the point of having enough to eat? With so much to do in this family, who can stay here for a long time?

After the last time the team leader delivered sweet potatoes, the village became busy again.

There's no point staying at home without working every day. The crops are suffering from floods and there will be no hope of a good harvest this year if we don't help.

So the village began planning to dig canals in the fields to drain water, but this was a big project and they had to dig several wells first to store the waste water so that when the rain stopped there would be more water left to irrigate the crops.

The Bao brothers and the scorer were in charge of this area. The team leader took those who were severely affected to go up to the roof with plastic sheets, wearing raincoats and climbing ladders to repair it.

Chengcheng and her mother were responsible for leading the women in the village to make tofu and escort it to the city.

There was only one master going on this trip, and the other two were assigned to dig canals, where there was an even greater shortage of manpower.

Last time, there were three drivers, but only one was driving and the other two were not needed. This time when we go to the city, for the sake of safety, we will use the driver who drove last time.

In the end, we didn't buy enough raincoats. Some people who didn't have raincoats took off their shirts to work in order to avoid getting their clothes wet. It's easy to get sick by doing this, so this time I plan to buy some fresh ginger and brown sugar to boil some ginger soup for everyone to drink, and buy some more raincoats at the same time.

Everything went smoothly on the way there, but unexpectedly an accident happened on the way back.

The road was so muddy that the tractor accidentally got stuck in a pit and couldn't get out. In order to get back as soon as possible, Chengcheng and her mother jumped off the tractor to help the master push the tractor.

The two of them worked together to rescue the tractor in the end. They all looked incredulous at the time. Only Chengcheng knew that this was thanks to the golden finger she drew.

Otherwise, how could two women push the tractor out? In any case, the news spread when they returned, and Chengcheng and her mother were given a new title, the Iron Lady mother and daughter, and were also called the Mulan of Jinsha Village.

It was not yet dark when they got back. After distributing raincoats and jackets, the mother and daughter went back home to make ginger soup amid the teasing.

When they were about to leave, Cheng Cheng saw Quan Hang holding a shovel and smiling at her, and he secretly gave her a thumbs up. Cheng Cheng also responded with a faint smile.

The other villagers were busy working and did not notice the two people's little movements. Only the Bao brothers and the female educated youth saw it clearly.

At this time, some people regretted that they should have stopped the male educated youth from moving to boarding house. This actually made it easier for her and the two of them to be together.

The Bao brothers' faces turned grim and they planned to go back to their sister to ask her about it after finishing their work in the fields. If this was true, they would not forgive Quan Zhiqing.

They all thought that the two of them were broken up, so when the male educated youth came to stay with them, they looked at him very carefully for fear that it would make the sister feel uncomfortable.
