Patrol's sweetheart baby

"I don't know when the rain will fall..."

Xiao Yin stood in front of the courtyard steps, frowning slightly, staring absently at the waterfall-like rain curtain under the eaves, and murmured.

This torrential rain has been falling all day and night from yesterday to today.

If the torrential rain continues like this and the water level of the Chizhang River exceeds the historical line, even the newly built dams and waterproof dikes may not be able to prevent it...

"It has been raining in Chun'an for a month. If it rains for a few more days, people, animals, and crops in the field will all quench their thirst. What's wrong? Besides, as long as the weather is like this in previous years, you are always worried and go out again. Checking the embankment of the river bank is busy with flood control again.

This year, Kyoto finally sent a hard-working inspector to accompany you to inspect the river bank every day.Under your urging, the waterproof embankment was rebuilt a few days ago, and the waterproof embankment was also heightened and reinforced. The autumn flood has not yet come, but the rain is heavier, so it should not cause any damage. Don't worry about the flood.

According to me, it is rare for you to rest at home during the Dragon Boat Festival this year. At this time, you should sit down, accompany Yun'er, Yanyue, and Xiaoman, eat a few rice dumplings, drink a few glasses of bayberry wine, and go back later Get a good night's sleep on the bed, and your storage worries will disappear.Yun'er, don't you think so? "

"Yes. Second brother, sister-in-law is right. Come on, come and eat with us."

Xiao Yin's sister-in-law Liang Shi and younger sister Xiao Yun'er walked over.

Xiao Yun'er took her brother's hand and forced Xiao Yin to sit at the table.

Liang's sons and daughters heard their mother's conversation with their uncle and aunt, and gathered around one after another, clamoring for uncle to play with them.

Xiao Yin had no choice but to sit down with his sister-in-law and younger sister.

"No, I'm still not at ease. Yun'er, you help your sister-in-law to look after Xiaoyue and Xiaoman at home. I'll go to the suburbs. Xiaoyue, Xiaoman, you two are good. I have to listen to my aunt and aunt at home, I know ?"

Not long after sitting down, Xiao Yin was in a hurry to get up.

He carried his nephew, who was holding his thigh, to his sister-in-law, Liang Shi, and casually took the apricot fruit on the table and stuffed it into the hands of his niece Xiao Yanyue, got up, took the coir raincoat hanging on the wall, and went out.

"You child, why are you so impatient? Yun'er, go get your brother a pair of zongzi."

Mrs. Liang was holding the child and it was difficult to catch up, so she asked her sister-in-law to catch up with a pair of rice dumplings.

It was raining outside, Xiao Yin was worried that his sister would be drenched in the rain, he had already walked to the door and opened the door, so he had no choice but to stop at this moment, took the zongzi from his sister, and urged her to go into the house quickly.

Liang Shi still wanted to say a few words of advice, when a clear and smiling voice sounded from behind her, "Brother Xiao is wearing a coir raincoat, is this...going out?"

Mrs. Liang looked around, but saw a handsome gentleman about twenty years old, wearing a green and white shirt, holding a white umbrella, and a food box in his hand.

When did Feng Ming know such handsome and handsome people like exiled immortals?

Xiao Yun'er is already a big girl, when she saw a foreigner visit, she quickly ran back under the eaves, shyly hid behind her sister-in-law, poked half of her head out from behind her, opened a pair of watery eyes, curiously Look at this brother's friend.

Xiao Yun'er was also stunned by this sneaky glance.

The eldest brother and the second brother are very good-looking, and this friend of the elder brother actually compares her two elder brothers.

Xiao Yin stepped forward with a face of surprise, "Huaiyu, why are you here? But what happened to the Chizhang River embankment..."

During the Dragon Boat Festival, Huaiyu, as a supervisor, would never come to the house for no reason.

After thinking about it, if there is any problem with the dam, Huaiyu can send someone to inform him, there is no need to come in person...

"Feng Ming, it's raining so hard, why don't you ask this young master to enter the room before we talk."

Standing under the eaves holding her youngest son, Mrs. Liang spoke in a timely manner.

Xiao Yin patted his forehead in frustration, and quickly invited Xie Jinbai into the room, "Look at me! I'm so confused! Huaiyu, come, sit inside, sit inside."

Xie Jinbai said "OK" with a smile, put away the umbrella, and followed Xiao Yin into the courtyard.

"Xie Huaiyu, I met my sister-in-law. This is a lychee I bought for the children. Be careful, and I hope my sister-in-law will accept it."

He first saluted Mrs. Liang, and then put the food box in his hand on the Xiao family's dining table.

Mrs. Liang was taken aback, and quickly put the youngest son in her arms on the ground, "This...so kind..."

Xiao Yin took off his coir raincoat at this time, heard the words, and hurried over, "How can this be done!"

Chun'an does not produce lychees.

And because lychees are perishable and difficult to preserve, they have to be transported by land from the neighboring state capital to Chun'an, so the price is so high that ordinary people can't bear it.

Brother Xiao Yin died early, leaving only his widow, Mrs. Liang, and a pair of young children.

The Dushui Division is a well-known Qingshui yamen, and Xiao Yin is just a small supervisor who has to support his sister-in-law, nephew, niece, and younger sister Xiao Yun'er, including himself, a family of five.

The daily expenses are already stretched, and how can I afford the lychees that cost so much.

They just bought it occasionally a few times when their brother was alive.

After my brother passed away, I never tasted lychees again.

"Litchi, it's Lychee!"

"Lychees are my favorite!"

The taste of lychee is once tasted, it will never be forgotten.

Xiaoman only ate it when he was a little over one year old, but he still remembered it without thinking about it.

Xiao Yin and his sister-in-law Liang Shi were still tactfully refusing, while Xiaoyue and Xiaoman, two children, heard that there were lychees to eat, and they started shouting happily.

"Well, take it and eat it."

Xie Jinbai smiled, and then handed the food box in her hand to the bigger Xiaoyue.

Xiao Yuetong blushed, looked at Uncle Uncle shyly, saw Uncle Uncle nodded, then reached out to pick it up, and thanked Uncle in a childlike voice.

Mrs. Liang is smart.

Mr. Xie braved the wind and rain, and came to the door on a special festival like the Dragon Boat Festival. Something must have happened, so he asked his sister-in-law Xiao Yuner to bring a pair into the house to share the lychees, while he went to the kitchen to get the bowls, chopsticks and cups again. After coming out, he also went into the room on the pretext of going into the house to watch the children, so that my brother-in-law could discuss matters with the guests at ease.

The joy of nephew and niece seeing Lizhi made Xiao Yin feel embarrassed and guilty.

It's all because of his incompetence, he has no ability to buy delicious food for the two children on weekdays, that's why Xiaoyue and Xiaoman became so greedy when they heard that there were lychees to eat.

At the same time, my heart was full of gratitude to Xie Jinbai.

He just mentioned inadvertently that there are sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, and younger sisters at home. He never thought that Huaiyu remembered it and even bought lychees here.

"Brother Huaiyu laughed at me. You haven't had lunch yet, have you come here at this hour? If you don't mind, why don't you just eat some at my place?"

Xiao Yin handed Xie Jinbai a pair of zongzi.

Knowing that Xie Jinbai couldn't drink wine, he took the ebony juice that the children drank and poured it for him.

Xie Jinbai hadn't had breakfast in order to "scramble" Young Master Tang's carriage, so he happened to be hungry right now.

He peeled two zongzi in a row, and praised, "Sister-in-law Xiao's glutinous rice dumplings are full of meaty fragrance, which leaves a mouth-watering fragrance."

Xiao Yin was still worried because Xie Jinbai gave them lychees, and was worrying that he had nothing to repay. Hearing this, he immediately said happily, "Sister-in-law will be very happy if she hears this. If you like it, brother Huaiyu, I will give it to you when you leave later." Bring some back."

Xie Jinbai took the ebony juice in front of the table, and smiled slightly, "Okay, then thank Brother Guo first."

Xiao Yin smiled in embarrassment, "A few pairs of zongzi are also worthy of thanks."

I don't know how many zongzi I can buy in the market for the lychees in the food box.

Xie Jinbai smiled slightly.

He lightly placed the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table, and asked casually, "What do you think, brother Fengming, about this torrential rain overnight?"

Xiao Yin thought to himself, it's finally here!

He put down the chopsticks in his hand, sat up straight, and said seriously, "To tell you the truth, I just went out just now, but I was worried about the water level of the river. All have been completed, but the rain is so heavy that it is really frustrating. It would be fine if the rain stopped for two days, but if not, once the river water exceeds the waterproof embankment, the river water in the middle and lower reaches will still break the embankment, let alone It is the lives of the people along the Chizhang River that cannot be saved, even the houses facing the river like mine may not be spared."

Speaking of this, Xiao Yin paused, his brows and eyes became serious, and he leaned towards Xie Huaiyu, "Brother Huaiyu came to the door in the rain this time, could it be... Could it be that you wanted to go with me? You also think that if the rain Will something big happen if you go down?"

Xie Jinbai nodded, and tapped the table with his fingertips, "The Chizhang River is adjacent to the Qulu River, and the Qulu River eventually flows into the sea. If the heavy rain does not stop in time, the water level of the Chizhang River will inevitably rise. The dams on the Chizhang River and the banks on both sides Once the waterproof embankment is lost, it will inevitably lead to seawater backflow.

How long this rain will last is God's will, and no one can predict what consequences it will cause.It is possible that the dam will fail and divert sea water to backflow.It is also possible that the rain will stop tomorrow. "

"Brother Huaiyu's words are indeed not unreasonable, but how can we block the lives of the people on both sides of the Chizhang River and even the names of the people in the city with God's will? Brother Huaiyu came here in the rain this time, but there is a solution ?”

"I do have one way, and only one."

Xie Jinbai stared at Xiao Yin.

Xie Jinbai's expression was still relaxed, and the corners of his lips even held the usual relaxed smile, but Xiao Yin could still see a trace of unusual solemnity from it.

Guessing that Xie Jinbai's so-called method might require his help, Xiao Yin said solemnly, "Brother Huaiyu, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"Even if you gamble your entire career, future, and even your life for this?"

Xiao Yin made a slight sign.

He never expected that what Xie Jinbai needed him to do would be so dangerous, but he still had determination in his eyes and said emphatically, "If it's for the sake of the people, even if you die nine times, you won't regret it."

"it is good."

Xie Jinbai nodded with a slight smile, then stood up, "Then, brother Fengming, please come with me."

Xiao Yin was stunned, and he didn't have time to react, "Go, where are you going?"

Xie Jinbai curled his lips into a smile, "The magistrate's office in Chun'an."
