After sitting in the fifth room for a while, leaving Bao Suyun and his family to share their family, Yang Ruoqing and Mr. Liu stood up and left.

On the way to the drainage point, before Yang Ruoqing had time to tell Ms. Liu, Ms. Liu took the initiative to admit her mistake to her.

"Qing'er, my mouth is really troublesome. I almost let something slip. It almost scared me to death."

"Fortunately, you were smart and found something else to cover it up. I promise you won't be so quick to talk next time."

This attitude of admitting her mistake really made Yang Ruoqing lose her temper at all.

She stopped and smiled helplessly at Mrs. Liu, "Fourth Aunt, you have to remember what you said!"

…

There are three drainage points, one is assumed to be at the entrance of the village, and the other two are assumed to be by the river behind the village.

The one at the entrance of the village was surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.

Some people simply took off their shoes and socks, with their pants rolled up to their thighs, and stood in the water to watch.

There is no place on the dry ground, people are crowded, and people are touching each other.

"Oh my god, I didn't even see a plowwheel hair, I just saw people." Liu stood on tiptoe and looked around for a while, and couldn't help complaining.

Yang Ruoqing glanced around the crowd for a few times, not intending to squeeze in. Just as Zuo Jingling came over there with a boat, Yang Ruoqing patted Mrs. Liu on the arm and said, "Come on, Fourth Aunt, let's look somewhere else.

"

The two of them got on Zuo Jingling's boat and walked smoothly through the village to the river at the entrance of the village.

On the way, Mrs. Liu looked at the flooded houses and shook her head.

"Even if the tide recedes this time, repairing the house will still be a tricky thing," Liu said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded without saying a word, but her eyes carefully scanned everything she passed.

When they reached the shallow water at the entrance of the village, Zuo Jinling stopped the boat because the water level further ahead was too shallow to row.

"Tang Ya Zi, Tang Ya Zi!"

Mr. Liu stood on the boat and shouted and waved to the other side of the river.

There were also several men surrounding the two waterwheels over there. Among them, the slender one, and just by looking at his back, he could tell that he was the leader of the group. Naturally, he was Luo Fengtang.

He was teaching the people next to him how to use the waterwheel. He heard someone shouting from behind and turned around to take a look.

Then he said something to the people around him, turned around and strode out of the crowd towards the ship.

After crossing the shallow water and coming to the bow of the boat, his head and face were covered with sweat, but when he saw Yang Ruoqing standing on the bow and her bulging belly, his eyes were filled with light.

"Why are you here again if you're not staying at home?"

He said blaming words, as if she was a disobedient child and he was the parent.

However, the words of blame made people feel doting, and the eyes also revealed the joy of seeing her.

"I'm a flower-legged cat and I can't stay at home." Yang Ruoqing said with a smile, and then stretched out her hand like a child.

"Here, give me a hand and help me down. I'll try running in the water too..."

Without saying a word, Luo Fengtang picked up Yang Ruoqing and strode towards the dry ground.

Liu's voice came from behind: "Qing'er, Tangyaozi, I'm waiting for you to pick me up!"

…

"I originally wanted to leave by myself..." Yang Ruoqing said, hugging his neck.

Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes to look at her in his arms, his eyebrows raised: "Why do you have to wet your feet when I'm here?"

"Um... the fourth aunt is still on the boat. How are you going to get her off later?"

Should I hug her too? If I don’t hug her, I’ll have to carry her on my back. I’d be embarrassed to ask my fourth aunt to come over by myself, right?

Luo Fengtang said: "I have a way to prevent Fourth Aunt from getting her feet wet."

As a result, when Yang Ruoqing stood firmly on the dry ground, Baozi brother Wang Liang and another man came towards them dragging a big basin.

Yang Ruoqing recognized this basin at a glance as the big basin used by the Sun family to soak the pigs when they were killing them.

"Tangyaozi, they are..."

"Go pick up Fourth Aunt." Luo Fengtang said.

"Ah? This, this, this..."

"Don't worry, the basin is clean. We use it frequently these days." Luo Fengtang added.

Yang Ruoqing said nothing and stood there watching Mrs. Liu being helped by the two of them to step into the basin with one foot.

Judging from the appearance of the fourth aunt, she should have resisted at first, but I don't know how Wang Liang and the others communicated with her, so the fourth aunt reluctantly entered the big basin.

Wang Liang and the two men were pulling the big basin towards the shore in the water. Mrs. Liu was standing in the big basin with her body bent, her hands tightly holding the edge of the big basin, her body swaying left and right, her face tense, and it looked like

Extremely nervous.

But after landing on the shore, she was helped out by Wang Liang and the others. She was still standing on the ground unable to straighten her back.

Wang Liang and the others then went to work on the waterwheel. Luo Fengtang also exchanged words with Yang Ruoqing and went back to work with the men.

Yang Ruoqing came to Mrs. Liu and supported her, "Fourth Aunt, are you okay?"

Mrs. Liu patted her chest hard and held Yang Ruoqing's hand tightly with her other hand, fearing that she would run away.

"Oh my God, I have grown so big, and this is the first time I have sat in a pig-killing pot."

"If I go back and tell your fourth uncle now, your fourth uncle will definitely laugh to death."

Yang Ruoqing raised her eyebrows: "What's so funny about this? Tang Yazi and the others have been using it these days, as long as it's convenient."

Liu's smile was a bit forced, "The truth is that, but when I think of the pig being pressed inside and being scalded with boiling water, with its hair plucked until it was smooth, with its eyes squinted, its mouth bent, and smiling, I feel sick all over.

Yes, as if I am that big fat pig..."

"Fourth Aunt, you are not only a great prophet, you are also a great visionary." Yang Ruoqing said.

"If you feel uncomfortable, I will go back and give you two choices later."

"One, go through the water by yourself."

"Two, go and see which man is willing to carry you over, even if he carries you on his back."

Mrs. Liu looked at the men over there, all of them were strong men that made her salivate.

"If I'm not afraid of your jokes, it doesn't matter who wants to carry me or hug me. I'm happy with it, but I'm just afraid that they won't be happy with it, hahahaha..."

Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

Yang Ruoqing was also amused.

"If it doesn't work out, how about I go talk to Tang Yazi and ask him to carry you, Fourth Aunt, over there?"

Ms. Liu waved her hands repeatedly: "I was joking just now, so how can I do that? I am an elder and I don't want to be eaten by the younger generation!"

Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes.

"Okay, stop being so talkative. Let's hurry over and take a look at the drainage. I'm so curious!" Ms. Liu pulled Yang Ruoqing towards the waterwheel.

Yang Ruoqing said hello, and the two of them came to the side of the waterwheel and found an open space to watch carefully.

These two keel waterwheels are longer than the one at the entrance of the village, nearly six meters long. At first glance, they look like a long dragon standing on the ground.

The structure inside was incomprehensible to Yang Ruoqing, a layman. He only knew that one end of the waterwheel was set up on the river bank, extending into the water, and the other end was resting on the river.

The front of the waterwheel is controlled by manpower, with hand-turned handles and foot-operated wheels. The complex machinery inside is driven by manpower, and then water is continuously sucked into the long channel in the middle of the waterwheel. Finally,
Chapter completed!
