Young rich peasants

Later, Zaozi really accompanied Mei Xiaopai to ask for a lottery, and what he got was... a lottery.Let alone Mei Xiaopai, Zaozi's heart is half cold.After returning, the father and son couldn't eat well or sleep well, and they were frowning all day long.

Lei Shounuo really wanted to appease them, but for some reason, he also had a bad premonition in his heart.

As a result, the Mei Mansion was shrouded in this worried atmosphere for more than half a month.Entering June, as soon as the longan was collected, it began to rain continuously, as if the lotus roots were broken.Suddenly one day the rain turned heavy and poured down, and even smashed a few eave tiles.

It went on like this for two consecutive days, and it seemed as if the sound of gurgling water flowing down the mountain could be heard at night.Zaozi became more and more uneasy, "Will something happen if you do this again?"

Lei Shounuo crouched under the corridor and looked at the sky, but couldn't tell why.In this kind of weather, longan can only be roasted in a stove, and there will be problems with drying longan after falling.What is more fortunate than last year is that the longan has been accepted first, but what is the sign?

On the third day, the rain subsided, but it still did not stop. There were puddles and mud everywhere. The condition of the seedlings in the fields was not optimistic. Everyone had no other choice but to dredge the waterways up and down the mountain.

At this time, people from Xilang Liuxi's family came and invited Zaozi and the others to drink. They said that the room where the wine tanks were placed had leaked from the rain, and the falling tiles hit one of the tanks. Eat a meal and share a drink.I also considered drinking some wine to warm up and remove dampness in this kind of weather, but it is a good wine with some medicinal materials.

To be honest, Lei Shounuo was so restless that he couldn't sleep well, his mouth was foaming, he didn't want to go anyway, and even felt that Xi Lang's invitation was too inappropriate.The rest of the family didn't want to go, so they asked someone to go over and declined.

On the day of drinking and eating, Xilang Liuxi sent someone again, trying to make them go over.

"Are all Xilang's family like this?" No matter how calm Lei Shounuo was, he couldn't help losing his temper.

Zaozi felt that Xilang was indeed a bit entangled this time, and it was inevitable that Brother Lei would be unhappy, "Can we refuse again? It shouldn't be like this after today. Brother Liuxi is usually pretty good."

The errand runners were sent back, and at noon they came again.

Zaozi couldn't hold back any longer, put on a coir raincoat and left the hospital to ask the errand runner. "We really have nothing to do, why are we still here?"

The errand runner said with a bitter face: "I don't know either! Ada of the Tang family said that he felt uneasy and uncomfortable when he saw the empty space for you, so he must go there. In my opinion, being Xilang They all have this kind of personality, and they will try their best not to let others reject them. Zao Ada, you just go and sit down for a while, and do the younger one a favor."

Zaozi looked at the person in front of him. His trousers were soaked and his foot was muddy. His heart softened, "Oh, okay, I'll go and talk to my family. Why don't you come in and wait?"

"Don't bother me. I have nothing to do with me. I'll dirty your place when I go in. I'll wait here. Zao Ada just go and come quickly."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Zaozi went back to the room to discuss with the others, and said, "Just go and sit for a while, it's because of sincerity."

Just as Lei Shounuo was about to say no, the little Ah Yue who was nestled on his lap started yelling, what seemed to be "Gu Gu Gu Gu".Zaozi made a careful distinction, "Ayue meant to go, right? Brother Lei, look, little Ayue has already said it." Lei Shounuo finally surrendered, saying: "Okay, let's go, everyone, look What kind of good wine is worthy of such a strong person like them."

Said everyone was going, but it was really the whole family.Even Erlang and Dei Guanjia, who buried his head in the study, couldn't escape.After picking it up, the family followed the errand kid out.

When they arrived at Xilang's house, Zaozi and Mei Xiaopai went to say hello to Xilang first, and Xilang was obviously relieved when he saw them.Zaozi was puzzled and said, "Brother Liuxi, do you need to find us for something?"

Xi Lang frowned and said: "It's really not a big deal, I don't know what to say, anyway, it's good that you are all here."

Mei Xiaodi twitched his right eyebrow a few times, and suddenly asked Xilang, "Liuxi, do you know or feel something?"

Xilang was stunned for a moment, and said: "To be honest, we are Xilang's, and we see and do the most festive red things. Everyone says that red and white things are hedged, so I will not go into a house where white things are done. Comfortable, I will feel uneasy when I enter a house where a big event is about to happen, if I am an acquaintance, sometimes I don’t even need to enter the house to feel it. This time I also feel this way.”

It's so mysterious, but both Zaozi and Mei Xiaodi remembered the lottery at the same time, so it became more real.They would have been able to go back after eating for half an hour, but they insisted on staying at Xilang's house for a while longer, after three pots of tea. one person.

"Boss Lei is not good! Something happened to your family!"

At this time, the rain gradually subsided, and several people ran home with bamboo hats.

The Mei family mansion in front of it was completely covered with mud, most of the path in front of the door was blocked, and the small forest next to it was destroyed.A word came to Zaozi's mind: mudslides.

There was a small hill behind Mei's house, and Zaozi never thought that such a thing would happen. The yellow mud washed away such a big house, leaving only ruins and ruins.

The members of the Mei family did not react for a long time.Suddenly little Ah Yue burst into tears, "Goose, goose..." Lei Shounuo regained his composure, turned around and waved his hands, "Daddy Zaozi is going to Xilang's house! There may still be danger here." His tone was unquestionable.Before Zaozi left, Lei Shounuo was instructing the housekeeper and Erlang to go to the village to find Mei's hired workers to help.

When they arrived at Xilang's house, both Zaozi and Mei Xiaopai's legs were weak. Fortunately, people from the Tang family helped them in time and put them on the chairs to sit on.Xi Lang, who had already learned about the situation from other people, didn't say anything, but only relieved: "The house can be rebuilt to prevent disasters, and it's good that people are fine. Whether it's a good day or not, as Xi Lang said, your family will soon have great things. "

Mei Xiaopai suddenly grabbed Xi Lang's hand, his face was pale from the lingering shock, he choked up and said, "Thanks to you, thanks to you..."

Zaozi looked at Xilang, expressing his gratitude with his eyes, then he hugged little Ayue tightly and took a few breaths.He understood the little daddy's fear. If Xilang hadn't sent people to invite them again and again, they would probably stay at home. Although the mudslide wasn't too big, it was enough to bury them all under the ground. The water was mixed with mud, maybe If they can't sustain others to rescue them, they will die.Even if someone does come to save him, he still has to risk his life to find someone to poach him. If he falls down with a shovel, he may be dead or alive—the more he thinks about it, the more terrified he will become.

Xilang brought them two bowls of chicken soup boiled with shochu from the pot, "to warm up."

Zaozi reluctantly said thank you with his breath, but he couldn't even make a sound.

The father, son and grandson stayed at the Tang family until night fell. The people of the Tang family were very kind, and offered to lend a helping hand. They cleaned up two rooms for them. Their house itself is not big, and one housed their own rice and the other It's for firewood, it's already the limit.

The three of Lei Shounuo came soon after, they were all in a mess, and they didn't even have the strength to speak. Erlang and Lei Guanjia each held a goose in their arms, and the two geese were a little listless, not as airy as usual up.Little Ayue was dozing off drowsily at first, but when she saw the goose came back, she became energetic and giggled, the silver bell-like laughter more or less soothed the tired spirits of several adults.

Zaozi smiled and said, "They're fine, that's great."

Lei Shounuo came over and kissed him on the forehead, "Yes, they are covered by mud, but they are fine above the neck. Our family has passed this barrier with great strides."

Afterwards, everyone stopped talking, and borrowed the place of Tang's house to freshen up a bit, and spent the night in two rooms.

The next day Lei Shounuo got up early, put some money in the kitchen for Grandpa Tang, and the old man returned half of it to him, saying: "I'm also poor, I won't refuse something if I use my stuff. , but I'll take what I'm supposed to take, and you take back the half." Lei Shounuo knew the temperament of the Tang family's grandpa, so he didn't force him to take it.After solemnly thanking Atang and Xilang who got up later, he hurried out to continue to deal with the rest of the finishing touches.

The first thing to do was to find a place to live. There were some houses left in the village because some villagers moved out. He decided to keep them, but he didn’t expect it to come in handy today. One of them was next to Ye’s house—the land and houses in Magu Village. It didn't belong to the villagers before, but now after he bought the land, the ownerless house also belonged to him along with the land.When he saw two adjacent houses, he had an idea. The two houses are not big. It is just right to merge these two lands together. It is bigger than the previous land of Mei’s house, or two more rooms can be separated. Here, Housekeeper Dei doesn't have to sleep in the study.

But now it is still necessary to sort out a place where people can live, so that the family can sleep peacefully.Fortunately, the rain stopped, and the hired workers were all free, so he hired two or three people to help clean up the empty houses, and the rest followed him back to the original ruins of Mei's house to dig out useful things.

Here is a good habit of jujube. He is used to putting more important or useful things into the box, and he will spread oiled paper in the box. Even if everyone has no time to tidy up, he will take the initiative to store them. The belongings or clothes and banknotes are buried under the soil intact, and it only takes a little effort to dig them out.

That night, the members of the Mei family lived separately in the Ye family and the adjacent house, and the people in the village finally had a place to "condolence".Erlang and Lei Guanjia used to live in the next house, but these days they stopped at the door of Ye's house to help the two Adas block people.

The people in the village are actually gossiping, basically harmless, Zaozi or Mei Xiaopai will come out and walk around when they are more energetic, and take the initiative to talk about things with everyone.Some villagers are more kind-hearted and will send some food over. These little daddy Mei declined, they are really embarrassed to accept it. In addition, Lei Shounuo found someone to go to the village to buy clothes and food in the first place. In fact, there is no shortage, "Thank you Thank you, everyone, thank you very much.”

The excavation cannot be completed in a day and a half. After Lei Shounuo dug up some more important documents, he stopped burying his head in the mud all day long.The family gathered in the main room of Ye's house to discuss the most important thing: When and where will the Mei Mansion be rebuilt?We can't live in a family like this all the time.

Mei Xiaopai admitted frankly that he thought about rebuilding in the original location, after all, he has lived in it for so many years and has feelings.But I also know that cleaning up is troublesome, not to mention there was a landslide, I really can't rest assured.Lei Shounuo promptly proposed the plan that he had thought up long ago, and everyone except Steward Lei agreed.

Housekeeper Dei meant, "Why don't you take this opportunity and move to the county seat."

Lei Shounuo was unwilling, Zaozi and Mei Xiaodi were also unwilling, Erlang followed the first three.

Housekeeper Lei didn't understand. "The county is prosperous, and it's convenient to buy everything. It's also more convenient to go to other counties. Why don't you want to go?"

Lei Shounuo said: "I live in this kind of deep mountain and people come to annoy me from time to time. If I live in a county town, will there still be a quiet life?"

"This is also what the big family has to deal with..." Lei Guan's voice was interrupted before he finished speaking, Lei Shounuo said: "I am a Xiaoxiaomei's mansion." Maybe it was more or less brought to the former big family Lei's mansion , the atmosphere between the two became a bit awkward, Zaozi quickly asked some questions to ease it.It is mainly where they will live during the period of building the house.In fact, it is not a problem. There are still some vacant houses in the village, but they are more simple and simple enough for people to live in.

Housekeeper Lei sighed to Tianchang, and had no choice but to give up the final lobbying, "It's all up to the young master."

That's how things settled.
