Chapter 1216
In the backyard, Bao Suyun sat sideways on the edge of the bed wiping tears, while Mrs. Sun whispered advice from the side.
"It's not like you don't know Qing'er Nai's temperament. She just talks like that. Don't take it to heart."
"Besides, this is toilet water, we have all applied it, and you are not the only one."
"Okay, don't be sad now. When Dabao and Mianmian see their mother like this, the children will be worried..."
Hearing this, Bao Suyun burst into laughter.
"Third sister-in-law, look at what you are trying to persuade them to do. Dabao and Mianmian are so young, what do they know?"
"It would be great if they were as big as Qing'er and Da'an..." Bao Suyun said.
"Haha, isn't that quick? Children look the same every year." Mrs. Sun said with a smile.
"Okay, listen to Third Sister-in-law and stop crying!"
The two sisters were talking in low voices when Yang Ruoqing came in.
"Fifth Aunt, here, my sister-in-law asked me to bring this to Dabao and Mianmian."
After Yang Ruoqing entered the door, she handed a pack of crispy candies in her hand to Bao Suyun.
Bao Suyun was startled for a moment and looked at Sun, who also had a look of astonishment on her face.
Then, Bao Suyun took the bag of crispy candies and said, "Qing'er, you mean, this bag of crispy candies was given to you by your sister-in-law?"
"Yeah." Yang Ruoqing nodded.
Bao Suyun said: "Could it be that you were worried that I would be sad, so you took a pack of crispy candies to make me happy?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"Fifth Aunt, I'm ashamed, I'm really not as thoughtful as you think."
"Hey, this pack of crispy candies was really given to Dabao and Mianmian by my sister-in-law. I don't like eating crispy candies, and I never put crispy candies in my house." Yang Ruoqing said.
Mrs. Sun came back to her senses and said to Bao Suyun: "Well, Qing'er didn't lie. She really doesn't like to eat halva."
"This pack of crispy candies seems to have been given to the two children by Mei'er. Maybe it was to comfort you because you were wronged." Mrs. Sun said happily.
Bao Suyun also looked flattered. Holding the bag of halva, she asked Yang Ruoqing: "Where is your milk? Do you know about your milk?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said, "My grandma must know."
"But my grandma can't stand up to my sister-in-law!"
Hearing her words, Sun and Bao Suyun both laughed.
Mrs. Sun said with emotion: "It seems that Mei'er has really grown up and become sensible."
Bao Suyun also nodded: "This is completely different from the sister-in-law I saw when I first entered Lao Yang's house."
Sun said: "When you are pregnant, you will become a mother, so you will naturally become sensible."
Bao Suyun said: "This is a good thing."
Soon, Dabao and the others got tired from playing and returned to the house.
Dabao, who is more than three years old and almost four years old, is following Xiaoduo, and Xiaoduo is also holding Mianmian, who is almost one year old, in his arms.
Bao Suyun opened the halva and gave each of the children a piece to hold and lick.
Seeing the children licking so happily, Bao Suyun also felt happy.
The grievances I suffered earlier disappeared in an instant without a trace.
Seeing such a scene, Yang Ruoqing felt quite pleased.
Everything is going well for the family. As long as most of the family members are so tolerant, just one Tan family will not cause any trouble.
The days pass quickly.
The canal digging project has come to an end, and the water in the village has basically receded.
The fields have finally come to light again. The rice in the fields has long since rotted, the cotton in the fields is useless, and the vegetable gardens are also barren.
Many of the houses in the village are loose.
There were still some dead fish and shrimps left in the house, which was smelly and damp.
Wooden tables, chairs, bed cabinets are not originally designed to be moth-proof and moisture-proof.
After being soaked in floods for so long, they were all rotten and termites were growing inside.
Everything else in the house is not much better.
The village after the flood was undoubtedly in ruins.
Rebuilding homes on the ruins will be another big project.
"The canal project is coming to an end. Zichuan and I discussed it and planned to leave a small number of civilian workers to continue digging."
"Other people organized themselves into several construction teams to help build houses for the folks in our village and nearby villages."
During dinner, Luo Fengtang told everyone his and Mu Zichuan's decision.
Yang Huazhong said: "Well, that's how it should be. Many houses in the village have slanted walls. If there's two more heavy rains, they may collapse."
"No one can live in such a dangerous house," he said.
Luo Fengtang nodded and looked at Li Zheng.
"Uncle Li Zheng, let's go take a look around the village tomorrow and write down the dilapidated houses first."
"To repair houses, we have limited manpower and limited time. We must first focus on those dilapidated houses that are uninhabitable."
"As for other houses where the situation is a little slow, we can leave it to the future and slowly work on it. What do you think?" he asked.
Li Zheng naturally agreed with this decision.
"I'll do some statistics tomorrow."
"Um!"
Luo Fengtang looked away and saw Yang Ruoqing remained silent.
"Qing'er, why don't you say anything? Don't you have anything to add?" he asked.
"Zichuan, before leaving for the county seat today, specifically told us to ask for your opinion on post-disaster reconstruction!" Luo Fengtang said again.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "You have arranged it so well, I don't have anything to add."
"By the way, I've made a lot of disinfectant there. You can take it into the village tomorrow and sprinkle it on the floors of those houses to disinfect it thoroughly," she said.
Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay!"
The next day, the post-disaster reconstruction work officially kicked off.
In order to return home, everyone started working enthusiastically.
The men went to the mountains to cut down trees and dig stones.
The women were busy cleaning the inside and outside of the house, sweeping what needed to be swept, wiping what needed to be wiped, and throwing what needed to be thrown away.
Luo Fengtang and the others carried the disinfectant water to the village one load after another, and sprinkled the disinfectant water on the ground as if it was free.
For several days, a faint smell of herbs filled the air.
At first, many people were not used to the smell and complained privately.
They even closed their doors and windows and were not allowed to go in to spray disinfectant.
However, Li Zheng, Yang Ruoqing and others who had given orders to die and refused to spread disinfectant water would not be distributed to anyone who came back to Muzichuan to bring relief food.
There is no choice, everyone has to obediently have someone come to the house to spread disinfectant.
At the same time, Luo Fengtang, Yang Huazhong, and Yang Yongjin's construction team were also working day and night.
Building a house for the villagers and flipping the roofs, it's twelve hours a day, and it's good to be able to sleep for two hours.
"Building a house is more torturous than digging canals. I see that Tangyazi looks the same every day, and becomes thinner and thinner every day."
While picking vegetables under the backyard wall, Yang Ruoqing chatted with Cao Bamei.
Cao Bamei was carrying a basket in her hand. Yang Ruoqing picked vegetables and put them into the basket.
