Chapter 65 Arrangement
Shuiqing had thought about it on the way back.
Niutou Town is not like Guangning Prefecture, which has towering walls and no soldiers guarding it. There is only one street where my parents live. The street is too long, and it is difficult to organize defense forces on their own.
To be honest, it is not as good as a village.
At least the village is gathered together, and there are only a few roads in and out of the village. As long as the roads are blocked and people are arranged to guard, it is much easier than defending on the streets.
Moreover, the people in the village are used to doing farm work. Even the elderly and children have a lot of strength and are nimble. They can still help.
"I thought that if it rains heavily, I will take them over. Then we can take care of each other and go back after the flood recedes."
"Okay, although our family is not far from the village, it is still a distance away. With my father-in-law and Wenhua here, I feel more at ease." Fan Jin agreed without thinking.
Then he thought of what his mother and sister-in-law had said just now, and lowered his eyebrows and said faintly: "In fact, compared with my eldest brother and nephew who live in the same village, I trust my father-in-law's family more."
I believe that when the disaster victims come, my father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-law will not hesitate to protect Shuiqing and the children.
His mother will only protect her grandson, and ask them to put her grandson first in everything. She will not and will not protect Yanqiu and Xinghui.
As for his eldest brother and his nephews, Dazhu and Erzhu, he only hopes that the closest people will not hurt them.
Shuiqing did not count on her mother-in-law and uncle. Seeing that the candidates were finalized, he continued: "I just heard the gongs being struck at the village chief's house. Let's buy one too! If refugees come, we can also sound it to warn them."
The people in the village are generally more humane. As long as they are not deadly enemies, everyone will generally contribute when something happens.
Especially now that they have a profit relationship with most families in the village, they are considered partners, which is more solid than the relationship between simple villagers.
"I'll go to the city to buy it tomorrow."
"If my parents come to live here, it won't be very convenient to buy things in the mall. Other things can be prepared in advance. There are vegetable gardens for fresh vegetables, but pork is not available.
I think we should raise two or three pigs. They will be ready for slaughter next summer. With my father here, we can kill them at any time. The leftovers can be smoked and eaten slowly. When a large family is trapped by a flood, we don't have to worry about not having meat to eat."
By then, there will be more than ten people, which is really a large family. If you want to eat better with three meals a day, you will consume a lot of meat, eggs and food.
Over time, it will be a large amount of money, so you can't prepare it in advance.
"I'll go to the city tomorrow to ask where I can buy piglets. When I build a house, I'll build a pigpen and catch the piglets to raise first."
"Catch two dogs and raise them. They're good for guarding the house."
"Okay."
"And lime. You can buy a bag of it every time you come back."
"Okay."
Shui Qing ordered whatever he thought of, and Fan Jin agreed beside him except for supplementing.
She was as obedient as a good little wife.
Shuiqing was stunned for a moment, always feeling that their positions seemed to be reversed?
However, it must be said that Fan Jin, who was capable of doing things, always responsive, and responded to everything, was not bad.
If it was a man who would not help even if the oil bottle fell, or a man who had no ability but a big temper, then she, uh, might as well live alone with the baby.

Originally, the mushroom season, which was thought to be in late October, ended in mid-October as the weather suddenly turned cold and got colder.
Even after the rain, few mushrooms emerged.
The people in the village sighed and felt distressed, but there was nothing they could do. They could only cheer up and prepare for other things, for winter and the coming year.
Shuiqing nestled in the wooden bed of the thatched house and counted the balance. After deducting the things she bought from the mall and the categories she opened, she now had a deposit of 170,000 yuan.
It was not much, but it was enough security for her.
The locker has a cubic meter of 100,000 yuan. She is reluctant to open it anyway. The 170,000 yuan deposit may seem a lot, but she may not be able to make money in the coming winter. She deeply understands the principle of living off the savings.
No matter when, you must have savings in your hands. Savings are your confidence.
She clicked on the self-defense option again. The activation fee of 30,000 yuan is considered high, but if that moment really comes, she will have to open it...
"Shuiqing? Shuiqing, are you there?"
Hearing the familiar voice outside the house, Shuiqing, who was about to move the bed board to count the deposited money, hurriedly responded: "Yes, in the room, I'll come out soon."
The thatched house is low and not big inside. If you want to talk for a while, you can only sit on the bed.
It's better to be outside, at least it's open and bright and not stuffy.
Outside the house are Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang.
"I'm sending you the winter clothes I made. I met your Aunt Zhang on the way, so we just came together." Aunt Li smiled brightly and handed over a big armful of clothes.
"Thank you, Auntie. It's cold now. You can wear it in two days." Shuiqing thanked her and took it. As she spoke, she turned around and put it on the bed in the room.
When she came out again, she heard Auntie Li laughing and saying, "Isn't it? It's cold early and cold this year. It's really strange.
I was just worried that your family would lack clothes to wear, so I hurried to make it and send it to you."
Shuiqing asked her to make clothes earlier, but it was not cold at that time and there were many mushrooms, so she only came back at night and made them with lamp oil.
I didn't expect the weather to change so quickly. It turned cold as soon as it was said. She quickly put down the mushrooms and hurried to make it a few days ago.
"What the old village chief said makes sense. The weather is abnormal today. There may be a flood next year!
Our terrain is good here. In the summer of these years, the ponds, lakes and rivers are always full. There is no erosion. I don't know how serious the flood will be if there is a flood?" Aunt Zhang sighed.
Shuiqing poured two cups of tea from the kitchen. The two took them and thanked them, and sat down on the chairs.
Aunt Li took a big sip of tea. Her tone was not as cheerful as before. She also sighed: "Most of my fields are by the river. In the past, I was lucky that irrigation was convenient, but now I worry every day."
Aunt Zhang hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry too much. There may not be a flood next year."
Her family has no fields, only land. The land is close to the foot of the mountain. There is no worry about being washed away, but if she keeps saying that there will be a flood, people will think she is gloating.
Disasters have always been a heavy topic, and Shuiqing didn't know what to say, so she turned to Aunt Zhang and asked, "Aunt, you came here, what's the matter?"
"Well, it's all thanks to your family, and the children at home are grown up, so I want to make some adobe bricks and build a few houses." When Aunt Zhang mentioned building a new house, the fatigue on her face was swept away, and she was full of energy.
Aunt Li congratulated her repeatedly.
"Building a house is a good thing, aunt, is there anything I can help you with?"
