Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Chapter 207 Retreat

The two of them despised him together, "Did you not listen to what Mr. said just now? Yizhou, where Jiannan Daozhi is located, generally has a provincial governor, and the military and political commander of Jiannan Dao is Jiedushi, but Yizhou is still the king of Yizhou. The fief, these gentlemen have all talked about it in class."

Bai Erlang blushed and shouted, "Impossible, I've never heard Mr.

Bai Shanbao: "That must be because you are sleeping."

Man Bao hesitated, "Or are you talking small talk?"

Bai Erlang also hesitated, "Mr. really said it?"

Bai Shanbao and Man Bao nodded vigorously together.

Bai Erlang dropped his shoulders and did not speak.

The three children are not very worried. As usual, I look at their Mrs. Bai:  …

She hesitated, didn't go in, turned and left.

Mr. Zhuang will come to teach in Qili Village, of course all his previous ambitions have disappeared, but this time the dike burst is too big, even if he is in a corner, he can't help but worry.

Moreover, Qili Village is under Yizhou, the land here, and the people here cannot stay out of it.

But what can he do with a white robe?

Master Bai was talking to him, "I closed the shops in the county town and in Brazil, and sent everyone to Zhuangzi. Now I don't know how the situation in Yizhou is."

He said: "When the refugees come here, the magistrate should invite us into the city."

At that time, you will definitely donate money and food, and this is what Master Bai can do.

The rain in Qili Village was still falling, but it gradually became smaller. The small river in the village rose rapidly, and the water flooded into the school. Some houses in the village near the river or in low places were flooded with water.

Fortunately, the water is not very deep. Although life has been greatly affected, there is no danger of being submerged.

As a result, the school has been closed indefinitely, and no one knows when the class will resume.

Manbao's house is in a good location, and they are all brick and tile houses. The house was not built for a long time, so there was no disaster this time.

Many people in the village could not live in their houses. Most of them lived in the houses of relatives whose houses were good. Some relatives' houses also leaked and could not live in. The next row was the Manbao's house.

So Manbao's family also vacated two rooms for them to live in. As soon as the rain stopped, the village chief organized the villagers to help these families repair their houses.

Those that have collapsed and cannot live in them must be rebuilt, and others must be repaired.

Of course, these tasks belonged to Zhou Dalang and the others, and it had nothing to do with Man Bao. She was still carried to Bai's house every morning by Zhou Dalang for class, and was picked up by Zhou Shilang again in the evening.

Although Mr. Zhuang was worried, he could only hold back and start a small kitchen for the three children. He would occasionally tell them about Yizhou, Qianweiyan and various droughts and floods.

In late May, the rain gradually stopped, and the swollen river slowly receded. Lao Zhou led his sons with hoes to see the seedlings in the fields.

Many fields were submerged, and some fields near the river could not even see the top of the seedlings. At first glance, it was like a wide river.

Many people in the village wanted to cry but had no tears, and the old Zhoutou was also very worried. Every day he went out early and returned late, and coming back after a good place was considered a loss.

With this calculation, almost half of the Zhou family's fields may not be harvested. When the water recedes, the seedlings are either washed away or their roots are damaged.

After all, the main heading time was missed in the middle.

The Zhou family is okay. Their family has a lot of fields and scattered fields. This area is flooded, but there are always some lucky ones who escaped the disaster.

Other people may not have such good luck. Although Man Bao rarely goes out with his father to join in the fun, he often encounters people in the village. Almost everyone is frowning. When it comes to this year's harvest, everyone is very pessimistic.

The water slowly receded, but a lot of insect eggs were left behind. Even if the sun came out, everyone was not very happy. The villagers started to get busy again, going out early every day to catch insects, weeding, and fertilizing again.

The school has to be re-cleaned and re-decorated, so the school will continue to be on holiday.

Mr. Zhuang didn't go to class. He wanted to make time to go back to the county seat. The three children didn't go to class, and they could finally rush to the outside world.

The adults did not give them access to the river, so they went to the mountains to play with their friends. Man Bao remembered that he had been in the flower basket business for two years, so he picked a lot of flowers and went back to make flower baskets.

Of course, the small bamboo baskets have to be compiled by adults.

After a little thought, the old Zhoutou said to Zhou Lang: "In the future, you should not go to the fields in the afternoon and stay at home to weave bamboo baskets. This year's harvest will definitely not be possible. The chief said that there is a lot of water outside. The price will definitely go up, so it’s better for the family to make more money.”

Zhou Lang nodded. In fact, the family had already given up a lot of fields. Now it is just a rescue. No one knows how much they can harvest from the fields in the end.

Old Zhoutou and Xiao Qian said, "Since the second child is going to the county seat, you can also make tofu and let him take it with him. Now, if you have a penny at home, you have to save it."

He was very worried, "The field is like this, and I still don't know how to pay the autumn tax."

Everyone bowed their heads.

Man Bao raised his little hand and said, "Dad, I'll help you!"

Lao Zhoutou squeezed out a smile and said, "Hahaha, I knew Man Bao was filial."

Brothers of the Zhou family: ...It seems that they don't help.

The Zhou family is now in negative assets, and the shortfall is quite large. Although Man Bao has no chance to hear his parents whisper at night, he also has a debt in his heart. He knows that the family owes the eldest sister five taels of silver. The money is not in a hurry, but Qiu If the tax cannot pay enough food, I am afraid that it will have to pay.

Man Bao has to calculate taxes for his father every year, and he knows this best.

She said that she would help, and the next day, she took the sixth brother to take the big head and the big girl and followed the second brother to the city.

Zhou Dalang put everything on the trolley, glanced at the flowers in their back basket, and acquiesced.

No one at home spoke. Last year and the year before, they did make a lot of money selling flower baskets. Even though there are many people selling flower baskets on the market now, it is strange that the flower baskets they sell are more popular than others.

Of course, at the same price.

Tuesday Lang and Friday Lang only thought that this time they entered the county as usual, but they realized something was wrong when they arrived at the gate of the county.

There were so many people queuing up to enter the city that there was a long queue, and many of them were in rags and their faces were numb.

Saturday Lang also looked at those people curiously, then turned his head and asked him, "What happened to the second brother?"

Tuesday Lang wanted to turn around and go back, but after seeing the tofu in the basket, he decided to go to the city after thinking about it.

Bamboo weaving can be stored and sold later, but tofu cannot be kept.

He tightened his hands and told a few people, "When you enter the city, stop running around and sell flower baskets. Just sell them on the spot with me. You are not allowed to go anywhere, do you know?"

Man Bao immediately said: "Then I still want to talk to Miss Fu Er. I promised her in the last communication. If I go to the city, I will go to her to play."

And she's going to sell her candy too.
