Chapter 33 Drainage Work

"Fugui, why is your young master so ill?" Lu Siyu asked curiously.

"It rained heavily recently, and the water in several villages rose up, flooding many places. The young master opened a granary, found someone to make a lot of food, and asked the yamen to send it over. The young master said that he could not enjoy the blessing alone, so he followed along. Go." Fugui said with a bitter face, and there were some complaints in his words, complaining that Zhuang Jinhan didn't care about his body, but he couldn't blame him, after all, everything Zhuang Jinhan did was for the common people.

Lu Siyu sighed, he had to admit that Zhuang Jinhan was a qualified parent officer.

"What is the situation in those villages now?"

"Fortunately, the drainage in the countryside is okay. The young master said that as long as the rain stops in the next few days, there will be no major problems." Fugui explained, repeating Zhuang Jinhan's words.

"That's good." Lu Siyu nodded.

Flooding is a headache even in later generations, let alone now, Lu Siyu looked outside the door, and the heavy rain was still pouring down. He didn't know where so much rain came from at this time, and it was not a typhoon season.

If it was in later generations, there must have been a statement in the news, and it would be possible to predict when the heavy rain will pass, but in this era, you can only look black and wait for the heavy rain to stop by itself.

"I don't know if God is targeting my young master. As soon as he took office, there was a blizzard and heavy rain. The young master hasn't had a good rest for a long time." Fugui muttered in a low voice, and he didn't know who he was complaining about.

Lu Siyu's heart skipped a beat: "Your young master hasn't rested for a long time?"

"That's right, it was a blizzard before, and the young master has been trying to clear the snow, especially in those remote villages. Now it's raining again and again. The young master said that he is the county magistrate, and these things can't be ignored. Those clerks still take turns to rest. But the young master just doesn't care about his own body." Fugui complained and felt distressed, his young master had never suffered from childhood, but he suffered one after another just after he took office, he really couldn't see it.

Lu Siyu didn't expect that Zhuang Jinhan would work so hard, but he heard that Zhuang Jinhan hadn't had a good rest for a long time, so he felt that the illness this time was normal. The long-term unstable work and rest, coupled with day and night hard work, weakened immunity, but Isn't it a small problem that will explode?

"Fugui!" A voice shouted suddenly from the door.

"Hey, young master, you finally woke up? Young master, you scared me to death." Fugui hurried into the room, "complaining again and again".

"It's just a minor illness." Zhuang Jinhan sat up on his own at this time, half-reclining, and said doubtfully, "I seem to have heard a very familiar voice before."

"It's Young Master Lu, it's all thanks to Young Master Lu that you will be fine, young master." Fugui still remembered that the doctor said that it was fortunate that Zhuang Jinhan didn't get cold again, so he naturally thought of the hot water and charcoal stove that Lu Siyu had brought into the carriage.

"Young Master Lu?" Zhuang Jinhan was puzzled, at this moment, Lu Siyu just entered the room, his eyes lit up, "Brother Yu, it's really you, I thought I was dreaming?"

"It's good that Brother Zhuang is fine," Lu Siyu chuckled, "The doctor has already asked someone to make medicine, and he will bring the medicine in a short time. After taking the medicine, Brother Zhuang, take a good rest."

"It's just a fever, there's no need to bother everyone. Before that, thank you Brother Yu for your help." Zhuang Jinhan cupped his hands towards Lu Siyu.

"It's okay." Lu Siyu shook his head, and wanted to say something, but he heard Zhuang Jinhan's stomach growling, "I'll ask the doctor if I can borrow the kitchen."

Zhuang Jinhan was a little embarrassed: "Then thank you Brother Yu."

"You're welcome." Lu Siyu still smiled, turned and walked out of the room.

After Lu Siyu left, Zhuang Jinhan slumped on the bed, his previous energy seemed to be completely drained at this moment, and he became sickly again.

"Master!" Fugui said nervously.

"Don't talk, I'll take a break, you go outside and wait, when Brother Yu comes, call me." Zhuang Jinhan closed his eyes and said weakly.

"I see, young master." Fu Gui quickly responded, walked out of the door, and closed the door gently.

As for Lu Siyu, after walking out of the room, he went to the doctor.

As one of the few people who knew Zhuang Jinhan's identity, the doctor immediately agreed when he heard Lu Siyu's question: "The magistrate must take a good tonic, his body is very weak, I will pick some nourishing ones, and you make a medicinal porridge."

"it is good."

As a professional, the doctor is of course much better than half-baked Lu Siyu, so he picked out some food and medicine materials in a short while.

Lu Siyu took these ingredients and carefully cut them into pieces. Since it is porridge, the ingredients inside should not be too large, otherwise it will be inconvenient to drink.

Fortunately, there is a three-year-old child in Lu Siyu's family who just celebrated the New Year, and the ones given to him on weekdays must be small ones, so he did this job very easily.

It took a long time to cook the porridge, and this pot of herbal porridge took longer to cook. Fortunately, the medicine had been cooked before that. Although it was all water, it could at least fill Zhuang Jinhan's stomach.

When it comes to cooking porridge, this matter is definitely very easy for the current Lu Siyu. He has been drinking porridge for a while, and he is getting tired of it.

After confirming that the porridge was ready, he served the porridge to Zhuang Jinhan's room.

"Master Lu, let me get it." Fugui was standing at the door, walked over as soon as he saw Lu Siyu, and took the porridge from his hand.

Lu Siyu is not polite, Fugui is Zhuang Jinhan's servant, so it is normal for him to do these things.

Entering the room, Zhuang Jinhan was sitting on the bed, looking at him and smiling.

"Brother Zhuang's complexion is much better than before." Lu Siyu said, when he saw Zhuang Jinhan before, he still felt that Zhuang Jinhan's appearance was a little bit forced, but now it seems that that kind of reluctantness is indeed less.

"Waiting for Brother Yu's porridge, I'm going to starve to death if I don't come." Zhuang Jinhan smiled, took the porridge from Fugui, and drank it spoon by spoon, looking like he had been hungry for a long time.

Lu Siyu shook his head. He had to admit that Zhuang Jinhan was much more mature than many of his peers. Today's seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy is still a childish high school student, but Zhuang Jinhan is already a county parent official and must support the people's livelihood of the entire county.

It would be impossible for Lu Siyu himself to support a county while he was there, so he admired Zhuang Jinhan even more.

It's strange to say that at the beginning Lu Siyu's impression of Zhuang Jinhan was that he was probably a dude, but after getting along with him later, he felt that this person was warm-hearted and not bad. Now, his impression of this person is not only Not too bad.

The county magistrate is equivalent to the mayor of a prefecture-level city in the future. It will take a lot of effort for future generations to climb to this position. Zhuang Jinhan is the head of a county at a young age, which is definitely outstanding.

While Zhuang Jinhan was drinking porridge, Lu Siyu looked back outside: "The rain seems to be a little light."

Zhuang Jinhan suddenly raised his head, saw the rain outside, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, the common people will have a better life when the rain is light."

Lu Siyu nodded and said with a light smile, "There's no way, we all depend on the sky for our food."

Zhuang Jinhan had sensed that his identity had been exposed before, and now he heard what Lu Siyu said, and hurriedly said: "Brother Yu, it was because of my brother that I concealed it earlier, brother Yu, please don't blame me."

Lu Siyu shook his head: "I don't blame you, I think it's getting late, and I have to go home."

"Why don't you rest at my place for a night, and I'll let Fugui take you back tomorrow." Zhuang Jinhan persuaded.

Lu Siyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Lujia Village.

"Xiaoyu probably won't come back today. You send Yueyue and the three of them home after dinner, and let Youdi pick them up tomorrow morning," said the uncle.

"Okay, but I have never asked a question. Who is that young master Zhuang? He even used a carriage." The auntie said in surprise. In just such a short time, the news of the carriage has spread throughout Lujia Village. .

"Who knows, anyway, the identity is not simple," said the uncle, "Master Zhuang seems to be very ill today, I hope he will be fine after seeing the doctor, but I don't know if it is good or bad for Xiao Yu to be able to make friends with such a person .”

"That's right, we are country people, it's better not to make friends with those rich people, so as not to cause trouble in vain." The aunt was a little worried.

"Don't worry about it, I believe Xiaoyu can handle it well." The uncle said seriously, trusting Lu Siyu unconditionally.

Over there, Lu Siyu agreed to stay because he was also worried that Zhuang Jinhan's condition would get worse. Although Fugui cared about the young master, he was sometimes careless. If he stayed, Zhuang Jinhan's health would get better soon.

As for the three of them, Yueyue, he also believed that his uncle and auntie would take good care of them, and he also trusted these two elders.

After drinking the medicine and porridge, Zhuang Jinhan fell asleep in the medical hall, and the rain outside gradually stopped, and finally it really stopped raining.

"It's fine if it doesn't rain, it's fine if it doesn't rain." When Lu Siyu walked out of the room, he heard the doctor muttering.

It's okay, Lu Siyu walked over to chat with the doctor: "It shouldn't be so rainy this season."

"Yeah, in fact, it's summer when it rains the most. One year ago, it rained very heavily. Several places were flooded, and many people died. There were too many people coming and going in the medical center. The doctor said with emotion. He is a doctor, so naturally he has the most contact with those patients affected by the disaster.

"Natural disasters are unavoidable after all. The most important thing is to do a good job of drainage." Lu Siyu said with emotion that the drainage work of later generations has not been done particularly well, but it is better than no drainage, and it can greatly reduce losses.

"You're right. It's very important to do a good job of drainage." At some point, Zhuang Jinhan came behind the two of them.

"My lord." The doctor was the first to react, and bowed to Zhuang Jinhan.

Lu Siyu realized later that he remembered that he was going to salute Zhuang Jinhan, and also cupped his fists and said, "My lord."

Zhuang Jinhan sighed: "You and I don't have to be so polite," but looking at the doctor at the side, he still held back a lot of words, "You don't need to salute, I'm almost in shape, so don't bother the doctor, and I'll let Fugui get the medicine later, now Now go back to Yamen."

"Go slowly, my lord."

Zhuang Jinhan nodded and looked at Lu Siyu: "Brother Yu, let's go together."

"Yes, my lord."
