After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Fan Qian, Fan Damu and others looked at each other.

Do you want to say that this is not nonsense?

The house is almost flooded, can they not be in a hurry?

Wait for the rain to stop, what if it doesn’t stop?

Don't be in a hurry yet, can you be in a hurry? It’s not their house that I dare to soak in!

Li Wen stood beside him, strangely calm and not anxious at all.

When I went to persuade him last night, they were not in a hurry. The old god was saying things that had nothing to do with him, and he was very anxious.

But today, while they were in a hurry, I was in a very calm mood. It was really strange.

"Old village chief, if you don't want to come forward, I will go out and talk to every house in the village myself!" Fan Qian said angrily.

The old village chief agreed without thinking: "Okay, you go."

Li Wen held back his laughter.

Yesterday, when ditches were being dug in the village, Fan Qian offended everyone so much that he was afraid that the men in the village would talk about it as soon as they got home.

Before staying overnight, everyone in the village knew about it. Now Fan Qian went to invite him personally. If he could only invite one person, he would lose!

Fan Qian also knew that he didn't have the ability to ask people in the village to do things, otherwise there would be no need to ask the old village chief.

I have to admit that although the old village chief is usually strict, he is indeed very responsive when it comes to matters concerning the village and calling on villagers to work!

He did not move, put away his unwillingness and anger, lowered his head and made a sincere request: "Old village chief, I know I was wrong. We did something wrong yesterday;

Let's see, my family has four people to build the dam, no, three people. "

Three pillars and four pillars are left so that he can be replaced in turn.

Fan Damu took the opportunity to express his attitude generously: "Although my thatched house was knocked down by the rain and it belongs to the family that needs the least help, we are all from the same village. I can't watch you busy.

Well, count me in, I am willing to do my part for the people in the village! "

Li Wen snorted as he punched his nose.

These two people have reached this stage, and they are still so scheming!

It seems there's no rush.

He looked at his father and said that if he continued to consume it, the house would be flooded in the worst case!

The old village chief swallowed the tea in his mouth, looked at the two people with his old eyes, and said in a deep voice: "The men in the village worked hard digging ditches yesterday, and finally got a rest today. I can't let them continue working.

Let's wait until tomorrow. There are a lot of people out there. If you can't wait, how about you build a block first? Maybe with your power, the floods won't reach the houses in the village. "

These words were full of sarcasm. Fan Qian and Fan Damu lowered their heads and said nothing.

They glanced at each other with their lowered heads, and Fan Qian gritted his teeth and said, "There are six people in my family!"

This includes him, Sun Jinhua, and their four sons, so his mother can only cook two meals for the family.

Anyway, other people's mothers-in-law have to work, and my mother only cooks two meals, which is not a tiring job.

Fan Damu also knew that he couldn't really do anything at this moment. The old village chief was not Li Wen, so he couldn't fool him at all.

He gritted his teeth and said, "There are five people in my family!"

This also includes him, his mother-in-law and his son.

Li Wen opened his mouth, but he didn't expect that after his father said those words, the two families did not turn around and leave. Instead, there were more people who could work!

Dad is amazing.

"People are coming out, sacks."

"Come out, come out! Take out as many as you have at home!"

"Me too!"

The old village chief finally put down his tea bowl and continued: "There are more than 1000 sacks in our village. If the rain continues and the floods rise and pour back, you know it will only be more dangerous."

Fan Qian and Fan Damu didn't understand, but when they heard the old village chief mention the danger, their hearts immediately lifted.

Nervously asked: "What should we do? Is there still someone else's sack that hasn't been taken out?"

"The sacks containing grain must also be freed up. At this time, the house is at stake, so we can't let go of the sacks!"

"You have to think about everyone!"

Li Wen snorted coldly.

At this time, these two people thought of thinking about everyone.

"Yesterday I asked the boss to go to the boy's house and ask, but we agreed in advance that we borrowed this from his house and will pay it back later. Do you agree?" the old village chief asked slowly and unhurriedly.

Fan Qian pursed his lips, thinking that since they were all from the same village, and their family paid for free, why should Fan Jin's be counted as a loan? Still have to pay it back.

Fan Damu lowered his head and remained silent.

If he agrees, he will definitely have his share when the time comes.

If he didn't pay it back, he wouldn't be able to stay in the whole village anymore.

Li Wen became anxious and interrupted: "Fan Er's family is up there, even if our whole village is flooded, his family will be fine!

He doesn't need to build a dam at all. To be honest, if he can and is willing to borrow it, I am very grateful.

Other families in the village also think the same way. Now it’s up to you two. If you agree, we will borrow it. We will share how much we borrow and repay it later.

If we don't agree, we can continue to wait, or wait for the flood to come back. "

Fan Qian and Fan Damu just knew now that the old village chief had already made an agreement with the whole village!

And even the number of sacks and subsequent needs are taken into consideration.

They both regretted secretly in their hearts, regretting that they couldn't bear their temper and ran over.

Seeing the expressions of the two of them, Li Wen immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing!

The old village chief glanced at the eldest son, but didn't say much. He just said to the two people in front of him: "Don't think too much about it. When we start depends on when you come to express your position;

In other words, if you don’t come for one day, we will wait for one day; if you don’t come for three days, we will wait for three days. "

The eldest son couldn't calm down and could not stabilize the situation. From now on, the affairs of the village could only be left to the younger brother Jin.

Without a good leader, the village would have no backbone, and everything would be in chaos, with a lot of right and wrong.

After Fan Qian and Fan Damu heard this, they repeatedly promised: "Build it now! We are willing to return the sacks."

The sooner the levees are built, the more peace of mind they will have.

If it is not built, floods will flood into the house.

Although these two days have been difficult, they don't want to make it worse.

The men building the dam soon gathered.

The same ones who dug ditches yesterday.

It just so happens that the soil from the ditch dug yesterday can be put into sacks, placed on pallets and wheelbarrows, and transported to the river bank.

Dozens of men were digging ditches, loading soil, and transporting sacks, all without stopping during the heavy rain.

The rain mixed with sweat, and I didn't even bother to wipe it off.

This is backbreaking work, especially in heavy rains, even strong adults are tired to the point of weakness.

In the evening, a half-man-high embankment was built at the entrance of Shanshui Village. Trees as thick as an adult man's thigh were nailed behind the sacks to secure them and prevent collapse.

In addition, a small team was formed in the village.

An old man who was familiar with the direction of the water flow led more than 20 middle-aged men with good water quality, good physical strength and fast feet to go down the river in Shanshui Village. When they encountered siltation and obstruction, they used long bamboo poles to pound the water plants and trees. disperse to allow the floodwaters to flow downstream.
