While rubbing the protective net, Luo Fengtang asked again.

Yang Ruoqing curled her lower lip.

"Of course it's not just this one," she said.

"I want to get two boats, just in case."

Luo Fengtang nodded: "Okay, once the fishing net is finished, I will prepare the boat immediately."

Soon, Yang Huazhong came back.

He was barefoot and wearing straw sandals, and his feet were covered with mud and grass.

"Dad, what's going on in the fields?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

Yang Huazhong looked solemn: "It's very bad. Many of the rice stalks are rotten. The nutrient supply is insufficient, and 70% of the rice ears are empty shells!"

"When I came here, I heard from the villagers that they would go to the Earth Temple in the south of the village tomorrow morning to burn incense and pray for the Earth God's blessing."

Yang Ruoqing was silent.

The people depended on the weather for their livelihood, but the rice harvest was not good and they could not afford to pay exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the family did not have enough to eat.

How are your days going?

However, human power sometimes really pales in front of God.

Drought, flood, plague...

In ancient times, without the protection of modern engineering and medical technology, everyone believed in gods just for good weather throughout the year.

Yang Ruoqing's family bought a lot of land, more than 20 acres of which were planted with rice.

When floods come, the losses are huge.

"Qing'er, where is your mother? I have to discuss with her about going to Tutu Temple to burn incense tomorrow." Yang Huazhong said.

Just as Yang Ruoqing was about to speak, voices came from outside the yard.

At first glance, it was Mr. Sun who was back.

Mrs. Sun held Mianmian in her arms, followed by Bao Suyun, who carried a big treasure on his back.

Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing rushed to the yard.

He helped carry the two children into the main room.

As soon as her feet were firmly on her feet, Sun said: "Qing'er, I have to go over there later and help your fifth aunt collect some dry clothes."

Yang Ruoqing said: "What? Does the fifth aunt's house leak a lot?"

Mrs. Sun said, "Isn't that right? The shoes in the house were all floating. When I went there, your fifth aunt and her two children were hiding on the bed."

"Umbrellas and everything else are put up on the roof of the tent, just on the dry ground on the bed."

Yang Huazhong asked from the side: "How are my parents and fourth brother doing in their house?"

Mrs. Sun said: "Oh, I just took Mianmian and the others here, and I haven't gone to the front yard to see them yet."

"Let's go see it later."

Yang Huazhong nodded: "We'll go there together later."

"Dad, let's go there together, I want to see it too!" Yang Ruoqing said.

So, Mrs. Sun stayed to settle down Bao Suyunniang and her three sisters.

Father and daughter Yang Huazhong and Yang Ruoqing entered the village.

Wearing wooden clogs, we entered the village on a muddy road.

The bluestone pavement in the village was covered with water.

Even though Yang Ruoqing wore wooden clogs, the water still covered her insteps.

This water is so dirty, there must be a lot of bacteria growing in it.

When you go home, you must soak it in hot water and apply some anti-inflammatory medicine.

Yang Ruoqing thought to herself, and followed Yang Huazhong directly to Lao Yang's house.

Along the way, I passed by other people's yards and saw people busy cleaning up at home.

I used a broom to push the water out of the house, and there was water everywhere. The low-slung adobe house felt like it might collapse at any time in such bad weather.

As soon as I arrived in front of the main entrance of Lao Yang's house, I heard the voices of Yang Huaan and others coming from inside.

When I went in, I saw that Yang Huaan, Jin, Yang Yongjin, and even Yang Yongqing were all in action.
