Chapter 189: Like being stared at by a wild beast

The men in the village are bloody, Shui Qing is very happy.

My family is weak and small, so protection and defense mainly rely on the people of Shanshui Village.

She suggested: "Don't remove the sandbags that were used to build the embankment. You should block it and leave a passable intersection."

Women rarely have a say in village affairs, but Shui Qing is different.

How to say, economy determines status, this sentence is applicable everywhere.

Especially what Shui Qing said makes sense.

As soon as she finished speaking, the women surrounding her immediately started talking to each other.

The old village chief naturally had no objection and nodded in approval.

He had heard his eldest daughter-in-law Wang Guifen mention it many times about entering the boy's house. On the surface, it looked like Fan Jin, a scholar, was making the decision, but in fact it was Hu Shuiqing who made the decision.

It can be said that the improvement of the life of Jin Xiaozi's family does not depend on Jin Xiaozi, but on Hu Shuiqing.

The old village chief had no objection and expressed his approval, and the other men had no objection even more.

Seeing that no one objected, Shui Qing continued: "There should be no chaos outside now. Why don't our village form a team to go to Fucheng to stock up on salt and other necessary things?

Secondly, stock up on necessary items such as food, oil, sugar, cloth, etc. according to each family’s situation;

San Ye can also explore the situation outside and have an understanding in his heart.

If it is serious, our village will not be able to go alone to sell rabbits in the future. It is best to go in groups. If the number of victims increases, our village will also need to be protected during the day and night. "

Shui Qing said so seriously that even the old village chief couldn't help but be surprised.

The other men's mouths opened wide in admiration.

Continuously praise the thoughtfulness.

Shui Qing was about to push Fan Jin, a scholar, when he saw Fan Jin smiling gently: "Shui Qing has always been thorough and rigorous. This is what she came up with after thinking about it for a long time. It is for the good of her family and everyone."

A few simple sentences not only confirmed that Shuiqing thought of it herself, but also mentioned her hard work. They also highlighted that these suggestions were not only good for her family, but also for the entire village.

"Let me just say that Shui Qing is smart and considerate." Shui Qing's loyal supporter Wang Guifen came online and said happily.

"This is more than just cleverness. Didn't you hear what Mr. Jin said? Shui Qing also thought about it for a long time. I'm afraid he didn't know how much effort he put into it in private." Aunt No. 2 Zhang added.

There was even more praise from behind.

The Shanshui Village Outbound Team was established amidst the praise.

There are thirty-four households in Shanshui Village, and the Shuiqing family with extra points has a total of thirty-five households.

At present, except for Zhang Tuzi, Fan Damu, and Fan Qian, there are no people from other families - Wang Mazi is now divided. His rations are given by several sons on an annual basis, and he is neither expected to farm nor to farm. If you work, you don’t count as one household.

Immediately, someone was sent to inquire about the wishes of the three families.

The man who asked came back soon.

"Zhang Baldy said that Fucheng is too far away and the roads are difficult to travel. His family has no money and cannot buy anything. It's too far and he won't go."

"Fan Damu is not at home. Aunt Fan said that she has not seen Damu since the flood receded in the morning and she was able to leave. She doesn't know where she went or when she will come back. His son doesn't want to come."

"Fan Qian is not at home either. His mother and son don't know where they are. Sun Jinhua seems to know but remains silent."

Everyone here knows that Zhang Baldy is lazy and poor, and no one has any expectations for him.

Although Fan Qian is Fan Jin's biological eldest brother, the relationship between the two is very bad. Everyone knows that when the family was separated, his family had all the house, and Fan's mother had a share of the money, fields, forests, and food. They all returned to the big house, but life was not as good as Fan Jin's family.

Everyone just thought he was shameless and found an excuse to avoid him.

Fan Damu was true and no one expected it.

Li Wen guessed: "Isn't it because he didn't help with building the house and he is still angry?"

In the past, everyone would help Fan Damu's family if anything happened, but not this time. Maybe they complained at home, otherwise it would be impossible for his son to not come.

"But can you blame us? It's not because he didn't want to dig ditches and was gloating about the misfortune!" Xu Laosan said angrily.

Fan Damu can also use the ditch dug by the heavy rain! What else could he be angry about?

But the flood had just receded, so what could these two people do?

The old village chief waved his hand and signaled to ignore these people: "Ignore them. These families don't raise rabbits. If they want to sell rabbits to make money in the future, they will naturally not participate. Let's discuss the candidates here."

Yes, they also have rabbits!

They can still sell rabbits to make money in the future!

"Okay, the rabbits will be ready for sale in two or three months. Let's choose them first."

It's easy to choose someone who goes out in a group.

You must wade through the low-lying areas on the road, and only men can do so.

In addition, pushing a wheelbarrow or pulling a cart are all physically demanding tasks, and require young and strong men.

We don't know what's going on outside, so the man we choose must be smart and familiar with the city.

You also need someone who is literate because you need to read government notices.

After looking at the sun, it was around chen hour and si o'clock, and if I could go back before dark, I decided to go today without waiting for tomorrow!

In the end, Fan Jin and Ding Heli drove an ox cart together, and each of the other families had a strong and agile laborer in the family. There were too many vehicles and it was inconvenient on the road, so people who knew each other started to carpool.

Five or six households with few things to buy have a wheelbarrow, and three to five households with a lot of things have to buy a cart.

With one ox cart, four pallet carts, and two wheelbarrows, the Shanshui Village purchasing team set off.

The people in the village watched the team set off until they were out of sight, then turned around to do other work.

Qin Yilin kept watching the team go away uneasily. If the world was in chaos, the things at home would not be enough. Fortunately, he could use the Qing family's ox cart. Otherwise, if he had to rely on the boss to carry the things back in baskets, he would have died of exhaustion. On the road.

Shui Qing is also a little worried, but there is nothing he can do. The situation in the outside world these days can only be known by going out and seeing it.

Don't worry about your own things, but other families in the village are counting on this big shopping trip and will eventually go out.

Fan Jin, Ding Heli, and others started, and they became more and more frightened along the way!

The same goes for the guy from the same village who followed him.

I originally thought that Shanshui Village was already in a very miserable situation. The fertile fields were destroyed, the rice was washed away, and no harvest was harvested. The corn stalks in the field were all broken, the roots of immature beans were soaked in water and rotted, and the beans that were about to mature were rotting. There are not many classes left.

But after coming out, I found that it was much more miserable outside.

The fields were basically destroyed, houses were washed away everywhere, and there were even many new graves added on both sides of the dirt road...

Thinking of the bodies that had drifted to the embankment at the entrance of the village, many men silently followed the vehicle in front and speeded up their pace unconsciously.

As we neared the city, there were more and more haggard people on the road, their faces were sallow and their bodies were weak, dragging their feet towards Fucheng.

There are many ragged people nestled in twos and threes under the city wall.

There was a faint light in their eyes when they looked at them. The team were all composed of the strongest men. Even so, every one of them was excited.

As if being stared at by a wild animal.
