Shuiqing had already thought about it on her way back.
Unlike Guangning Prefecture, Niutou Town was not protected by towering city walls, nor did it have any soldiers guarding it. The place where her parents lived was just a long street, which was so long that it would be difficult for them to organize their own defenses.
To be honest, it's not even as good as a village.
The village is at least clustered together, and there are only a few roads leading in and out of the village. As long as the roads are blocked and people are assigned to guard them, it is much easier to defend than the streets.
Moreover, the villagers are used to farm work, and even the elderly and children are quite strong and nimble, so they can help out.
"I was thinking that if it rained heavily, I would bring them here so that they could look after each other and then go back after the flood receded."
“Okay, although my family doesn’t live far from the village, it’s still quite a distance. With my father-in-law and Wenhua here, I feel more at ease.” Fan Jin agreed without hesitation.
Then, remembering what his mother and sister-in-law had just said, he lowered his eyes and said softly, "Actually, compared to my elder brother and nephew who live in the same village, I trust my father-in-law's family more."
I believe that when disaster victims arrive, my parents-in-law and brother-in-law will not hesitate to protect Shuiqing and the children.
His biological mother will only protect her grandson Jin Sun and demand that they put her grandson Jin Sun first in everything. She will not and will not protect her two granddaughters Yan Qiu and Xing Hui.
As for his elder brother and his nephews, Dazhu and Erzhu, he only asked that his closest relatives not harm them.
Shuiqing didn't have high hopes for her mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Seeing that the choice had been made, she continued, "I just heard the village chief's gong. Let's buy one too! If any refugees come, we can sound the alarm."
The villagers are generally quite friendly; as long as there's no deep-seated hatred between them, everyone will lend a hand when something happens.
In particular, they now have business relationships with most families in the village, making them partners, which is more solid than simple villager relationships.
I'll go to town to buy it tomorrow.
"If my parents come to stay, it won't be very convenient to buy things at the mall. Other things can be prepared in advance, and there are vegetable gardens for fresh vegetables, but there's no way to get pork."
I'm thinking we should raise two or three pigs. They should be ready for market by next summer. With Dad around, we can slaughter them anytime. Any leftovers can be smoked and eaten slowly. That way, even if the whole family is stranded during a flood, we won't go hungry."
There will be more than ten people, a real big family. They will need to eat three meals a day, and if they want to eat something a little better, they will consume a lot of meat, eggs and grains.
Over time, these amounts can accumulate to a large sum, so it's essential to prepare in advance.
"I'll go to the prefectural city tomorrow to inquire where I can buy piglets. When I build the house, I'll build a pigsty and catch some piglets to raise first."
"Let's catch two more dogs to keep; they'll be great for guarding the house."
"good."
"And lime, I can buy a bag every time I come back."
"good."
Shui Qing gave instructions based on whatever came to mind, while Fan Jin simply added his own suggestions and gave his approval.
She was as obedient as a well-behaved young wife.
Shui Qing was momentarily stunned, feeling as if their positions seemed to be reversed.
However, it must be said that Fan Jin, who is capable of handling affairs, always responsive to requests, and always willing to respond, is quite good.
If she's the kind of guy who wouldn't even pick up a fallen oil bottle, or a man with no skills but a big temper, then well, she might as well raise the child alone.
