Chapter 7387 Alienation
As a result, they were on tenterhooks for a while, except for the sound of wind and rain, there was no other sound 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 Lao Wang’s kitchen.
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 was squatting at the mouth of the stove, pulling noodles, Yang Huamei stood beside him and asked in a low voice.
Dabai patted his chest: "Don't worry, mother, everything is put away. If the things are there and the people are there, if the things are gone, people will die!"
"Chicken butt mouth, talking nonsense, good luck Italy, 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 taboo those things, so don't take it too seriously."
"How can you be so casual? This is a rule passed down by the older generation, and it always works. "Yes." Yang Huamei was a little unhappy.
But I was more worried. After all, my son was going on a long trip early in the morning and he still had valuable things with him.
"How about you change the date and go out tomorrow?" She hesitated and asked again.
Dabai smiled again indifferently, "Mom, we really don't pay attention to that. You believe me, the more casual the better, I am stupid and have 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 on her chest, lowered her head and prayed softly.
Pray that the Kitchen God can bless Dabai’s trip smoothly and everything goes well.
......
After seeing off Dabai, it was dawn.
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 anytime.
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. Oh, he's gone again today," 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 out?"
Yang Huamei said: "What you said is wrong. Both of my sons are working outside, one is doing business, and the other is doing business." He is still a general. He is leading everyone at the dike day and night. Is it ridiculous that your two sons are the only ones who are doing big things in flood fighting and rescue?” Yes, the husband and the third brother's son were working on the river embankment, and the eldest daughter-in-law even 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 no male in Lao Wang's family this time, and Dabai ran away in a flash, this woman must have something to say. Words to mock and ridicule.
"You don't have the final say whether it sounds like it or not. Just mind your own business." Yang Huamei also didn't give the other party any face and immediately responded. 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 a dog biting a mouse and meddling in other people's own business!"
"Who are you calling a mouse?"
"I What are you scolding me for?"
Just as the two women were about to start fighting, 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 short-tempered now. I won't say anything to her next time."
Ms. 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 tough and aggressive momentum 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 take a 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 it together." Yang Huamei invited from behind.
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 Meier is very unhappy."
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 Lao Wang's family in the future."
< br>Bao Suyun nodded and said nothing more.
Luo family.
While having 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 those processes into parts and everyone divides the work and cooperates before assembling it at the end. It really saves a lot of time."
< br>“I polished the materials on the first day, polished various parts on the second day, and waited until tomorrow. The assembly will be completed on the third day, and the water will be tested the day after tomorrow."
"A batch of five boats is ready, he said, because of rush to work, after the first batch of boats came out for emergency, he said. Also 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.”
Baby Luo nodded, “Let’s keep working!”< br>
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 out a few days ago have received responses. Xu Mang, Zuo Junmo and others have all come here to adjust food supplies.
These grains are already on their way to Qingshui Town, so Yang Ruoqing has to go to the town to place them.
