As a result, they were in fear for a while, and there was no other sound except the sound of wind and rain outside.

Until I went to bed, there was still no movement.

Dabai felt relieved now, but decided to leave Changping Village immediately at dawn tomorrow to avoid a long night and many dreams.

As for Yang Huamei, she was lying on the bed tossing and turning.

She had been worried that her brothers and sisters-in-law would come to get the gold bracelet, but now she was sure that they would not come, and she felt empty again.

She understood that from now on, she could not count on any help from her parents, and she could only rely on herself for everything.

The next day, before dawn, smoke came from the kitchen of Lao Wang's house.

Yang Huamei used the leftover pork belly soup from last night to stew a large bowl of noodles for Dabai, and put two golden poached eggs on top of the noodles.

In addition, he also boiled five or six eggs and duck eggs for Dabai to take with him to eat on the road.

"Son, have you put away all the silver coins and gold bracelets?"

When Dabai squatted at the mouth of the stove and pulled noodles, Yang Huamei stood beside him and asked softly.

Dabai patted his chest: "Mom, don't worry, everything has been put away. If things are there and people are there, if things are gone, people will die!"

"Chicken butt mouth, talking nonsense, good luck, bah bah bah!"

Yang Huamei's expression changed. Not only did she spit hard on the ground, but she also asked Dabai to follow suit.

Dabai smiled: "Mom, I don't mind those things, so don't worry too much about it."

"How can you kid be so casual? This is a rule passed down from the older generation, and it is always useful." Yang Huamei was a little unhappy.

But I am more worried. After all, my son is going on a long trip early in the morning and he still has valuable things with him.

"How about you change the date and go out tomorrow?" She hesitated and asked again.

Dabai smiled indifferently, "Mom, we really don't care about that. Trust me, the more casual the better, I am a person with no taboos!"

Yang Huamei had no choice but to sigh in her heart, then silently went to the place where the image of the Kitchen God was posted inside the pot, lit a lamp, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, lowered her head and prayed softly.

I pray that the Kitchen God can bless Dabai's trip to go smoothly and everything goes well.

…

After seeing off Dabai, it was daybreak.

Yang Huamei went to the pond at the entrance of the village to wash her dirty clothes, and all she heard was about the flood.

These daughters-in-law didn't know where they heard the news. One moment they said that the polder was broken here, and the other moment they said there was a gap in the dam there.

In short, ponds, lakes and rivers everywhere seem to be filled to the brim and ready to burst at any time.

Someone saw Yang Huamei squatting there without saying a word, and took the initiative to talk to her: "Dabai, I heard that your Dabai came back yesterday?"

"Well, I came back once, and now I'm leaving again." Yang Huamei said.

The woman then said: "This house may be flooded at any time. Others dare to go home. Why are your two sons still running outside?"

Yang Huamei said: "What you said is wrong. My two sons are both working outside, and the other is doing business."

"Oh my, when will this kind of work and business not be possible? Tang Yazi is still a general. He has been working day and night at the dam to lead everyone to fight floods and rescue operations. Only your two sons are doing this.

Is it a big deal? No one will come back and no one will contribute. Is this ridiculous?"

The woman who spoke was an outspoken woman. The man in her family had a good relationship with Yang Huazhong. The son and the third brother's son both worked on the river embankment, and the eldest daughter-in-law also went to cook on the river embankment.

In Yang Ruoqing's words, this family has a very high level of ideological consciousness, so when she saw that there was not a single male member of Lao Wang's family this time, and Dabai ran away in a flash, this woman must have said a few words to ridicule her.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's true or not. Just mind your own business." Yang Huamei also didn't give the other party any face and immediately replied.

The woman sneered: "A family that cares about the head but not the body does not look like people from the old Yang family at all."

"Where I come from has nothing to do with you. You are just a dog biting a mouse and meddling in other people's business!"

"Who are you calling a rat?"

"Why did I scold you?"

Just as the two women were about to fight, Sun and Bao Suyun happened to come over to wash themselves, so they quickly separated them.

The woman spat and said to Mrs. Sun: "I don't even bother to talk to that kind of person. He doesn't have the slightest sense of the overall situation. I'm also a bit tongue-tied now. I won't say anything to her next time."

Mrs. Sun smiled apologetically at the woman and whispered: "Sister-in-law, give me some face, forget it."

The woman sighed, picked up her clothes and left.

"Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, thank you for helping me out."

In front of Sun and Bao Suyun, Yang Huamei restrained her previous toughness and aggressiveness and became weak and weak.

Sun and Bao Suyun just exchanged glances, and Sun said: "My sister-in-law doesn't have any ill intentions. Let's each step back."

Yang Huamei was a little aggrieved.

But Sun and Bao Suyun were obviously not interested in chatting with her, so they took the basin and bucket to wash themselves elsewhere.

"Third sister-in-law, fifth sister-in-law, there is an open space here, let's wash together." Yang Huamei invited from behind.

Mrs. Sun turned around and said, "You go ahead and wash it. We have too many things, so it's more convenient to wash it over there."

This distant and polite tone made Yang Huamei feel very uncomfortable.

She bit her lip, squatted down angrily, and turned her back to that side.

When Sun and Bao Suyun squatted down, Bao Suyun lowered her voice and said to Sun, "Are we doing this too obviously? I think Mei'er is very unhappy."

Mrs. Sun shook her head, "I can't control that much anymore. No one in this world can make everyone happy. Let's listen to your third brother and Qing'er and keep distance from the old Wang family."

Bao Suyun nodded and said nothing more.

Luo family.

During breakfast, Luo Baobao excitedly reported to Yang Ruoqing the progress of the shipbuilding in the past few days.

"Mom, Jingling is really amazing. He builds boats quickly and firmly. He breaks all the processes into parts. Everyone divides the work and cooperates before assembling it at the end. It really saves a lot of time."

"The materials will be polished on the first day, and the various components will be polished on the second day. The assembly will be completed tomorrow, which is the third day, and the water will be tested the day after tomorrow."

"A batch of five boats is ready. He said it was because he was in a hurry. After the first batch of boats came out for emergency purposes, he would build a bigger boat, one with a shed."

When Yang Ruoqing heard what Luo Baobao said, she was also excited and looking forward to it.

"Let's not talk about the big boats, let's talk about the five small boats. With those small boats, I feel more at ease."

Luo Baobao nodded, "Let's keep doing it!"

While Luo Baobao and Zuo Jingling were busy building ships and Luo Fengtang and the others were throwing themselves on the river embankment, Yang Ruoqing also received news from her subordinates.

The letters she sent a few days ago have all received responses. Xu Mang, Zuo Junmo and others have already come here to adjust food supplies.
