"Qing'er, what's your suggestion?" Lao Suntou asked.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Looking at the weather, it's probably going to rain. Once it rains, the pigsty you just shoveled out will accumulate water again."

"If the water is too deep, the pigs will drown."

After hearing this, Lao Suntou sighed.

The old man looked outside the pigsty. The sky was overcast. While he was talking, it started to rain again.

Lao Suntou said: "What should we do? We can't drive them back to the house where we live, right?"

"There are more than fifty pigs, and they can't be packed even if they are rushed over!" he said.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Just in case, we might as well put wooden stakes in this pigsty, and then lay wooden boards on top of the wooden stakes."

"Leave a hole on one side of the board to put up the slide, and then put a rope around the board to block it."

"If it rains again and the water inside rises, we will drive all the pigs to stay on the wooden boards." Yang Ruoqing said.

When Old Suntou heard this, he turned around and looked at the pig pen behind him.

"I understand, Qing'er, you mean to build a mezzanine inside, right?" he asked.

Yang Ruoqing nodded: "How do you feel, Grandpa?"

Lao Suntou said: "Yes, yes, why didn't I think of that?"

On the side, the uncle said: "It's a good idea, but these five pigs are old and heavy, and I'm afraid the board won't be able to bear it!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "We can just lay a few more layers."

The uncle said: "There are a lot of unpeeled tree beams at home, but these cut wooden boards..."

Yang Ruoqing snapped her fingers: "I have a pile of wooden boards stored in my new house. I will pull them all over later."

"We also need to build the stables opposite."

Lao Suntou said: "Those wooden boards are from the finest fir trees, and some of them are camphor wood. They were used to make furniture for your and Tang Yazi's new house."

"How can it be used on these beasts? No, no, no!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled: "Gong Gong, what time has it been? Why do you still care about this?"

"Now let's save the pigs, mules and horses at home. If we save them, it will be nothing but money!"

"You have money, but are you afraid that you won't be able to buy good trees? Besides, on the mountain behind us, the most indispensable thing is trees."

Lao Suntou and his uncle were still hesitating, while Mrs. Sun on the side clapped her hands on the board.

"Let's listen to Qing'er, get the wooden board over here first, and get over this difficulty first and then talk about it!"

Lao Suntou nodded: "Okay, that's it for now!"

…

Soon, Mrs. Sun came over and called Yang Ruoqing to have lunch.

After hearing this proposal about the pig pen, Mrs. Sun also wholeheartedly agreed.

The mother and daughter went back to eat and told Yang Huazhong, who said, "We'll start in the afternoon. I'll call Chang Geng Daniu over and help build it together!"

Yang Ruoqing said: "Dad, I will also call Tang Yazi over. While you have enough manpower, can you make me a boat by the way?"

Yang Huazhong said: "Making a boat? Isn't it too much effort?"

Old Yangtou, who was sitting at the head of the dinner table, couldn't help but smile.

"Girl Qing, your plans are too far-fetched, aren't you?" the old man said.

"I have lived for sixty years, and I have never seen the water under our mountain so heavy that we had to row out!"

The old man raised the chopsticks in his hand and shook them: "No need, no need!"

Yang Ruoqing ignored Old Yangtou and still said to Yang Huazhong: "Dad, there are many people and strength, so let's make one. I'll feel at ease if I leave it at home."

"Even if you don't need it, it would be convenient to have a boat when you go fishing in Mao Pond and dig lotus roots in the winter, right?"

After all, Yang Huazhong couldn't defeat Yang Ruoqing, "Okay, let's make a boat!"

While we were having lunch, there was a light drizzle.

But in the afternoon, the rain stopped, and there was a faint ray of sunshine in the sky.

Lao Suntou came over and asked Yang Ruoqing: "I guess it will be sunny today, can we take the mezzanine?"

Yang Ruoqing said firmly: "We must take it together."

"Even if it doesn't come in handy this time, it will work next time!"

Lao Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's take it!"

Yang Huazhong, Chang Geng, Daniu, Luo Tiejiang, Luo Fengtang, Yang Huaming, and Wang Hongquan all came over to help the Sun family build the mezzanine of the pig pen.

Except for Yang Huazhong, Luo Tiejiang, and Yang Huaming, none of these families raised pigs.

Chang Geng, Daniu and Wang Hong each raised one or two pigs.

Lao Suntou said to the three of them: "The momentum of turning back is not right. Pull the pigs to me immediately on a cart. Let's get over this difficulty first."

Chang Geng and others nodded, but they all had doubts in their hearts.

It's sunny today. When the scorching sun comes out tomorrow, all the accumulated water will be dried up.

However, the men understood Lao Suntou's good intentions and worked even harder one by one.

At the same time, by the pond at the entrance of the village.

When the women who were washing heard about the fact that the Sun family was building a mezzanine for the pigs to tide them over, they all laughed and started talking about it.

It happened that Ms. Sun came over to wash her clothes, and the women started joking with her.

"Ms. Qing'er, I heard that your Qing'er came up with the idea of ​​building a mezzanine for pigs?"

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Well, it was my daughter who came up with the idea!"

"I heard that those are good wooden boards. They are used by Qing'er and Tang Yazi to build furniture for their new home?"

Mrs. Sun nodded truthfully: "Yes, my daughter said that it is not urgent to break up the furniture, but to move it first for the pigs to use. It is important to save their lives."

The women laughed.

"I said Qing girl is really interesting. The sun is shining today, so don't take a ride. It's a waste of life and money!"

"Our place is at the foot of the mountain, not by the big river."

"Everyone, please keep your heart in mind. Wherever it is flooded, we won't be flooded here..."

"That's right, that's right..."

When Mrs. Sun heard these words of the women, she did not defend herself.

I finished washing my clothes in silence, then got up and went home.

As Mrs. Sun stepped forward, the laughter of the women behind her changed.

"I made a few bucks, my brain went crazy, and the whole family went crazy..."

"That's right, we haven't even moved into the mezzanine yet, but the pigs have moved in first..."

"stupid!"

…

The next day, it didn't rain again.

The weak sun half peeked out from behind the thick clouds.

The villagers were very happy, and everyone was busy drying wet clothes.

In the backyard of the Sun family, Yang Huazhong and the others started work without any intention of turning back. They were still busy building mezzanines and building boats.

By evening, dark clouds began to appear in the sky again.

The north wind picked up, blowing everything.

When it was time to have dinner, there were bursts of muffled thunder in the sky, just like the wheels rolling across the sky, one after another.

After a while, the rain fell.

Blah blah blah...

There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and the north wind mixed with heavy rain sloping in.

The rain fell on the bluestone slabs in the yard, causing splashes of water.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.

Click!

Click!

It's like the god is angry and wants to bring punishment to the world.

Mianmian was so frightened that she cried loudly, and Dabao was also frightened and hid in Sun's arms.
