After washing her rain boots in the ditch, Meng Qidi glanced at Ling Xiao, who was holding an umbrella next to her with muddy hands, and felt inexplicably guilty.
He picked up the umbrella beside him and coughed softly, "I'll hold the umbrella, you wash it."
Ling Xiao didn't care. "It's okay. The rain isn't heavy. Go in first. Don't catch a cold."
Meng Qidi glared at him, "I told you to wash, hurry up, why are you dawdling?"
Ling Xiao was yelled at by her and squatted down silently. What should he do if his wife is too fierce...
It was raining, so taking pictures was naturally impossible. After Ling Xiao and the other person went into the house, the whole family got together to play cards.
However, before they had played two games, a guest came to the door. It was Meng Daqiang.
He was wearing a straw raincoat and carrying a large bag. He stood under the eaves at the door and took off the raincoat. "It's raining really hard. It was obviously getting lighter when I went out."
Wang Jinhua was not playing cards but was taking care of her child. When she saw Meng Daqiang come in, she quickly took a clean towel and handed it to him.
"Why are you here in such heavy rain? Can you wait until the rain stops before coming back? Are you coming back from outside?"
Meng Daqiang took the towel, wiped his head and smiled.
"Well, I went out for a while. I heard that my mother-in-law was getting married soon, so I hurried over to see if there was anything I could do to help."
Wang Jinhua was slightly stunned, "How do you know this?"
"When I came back to town yesterday, Lao Yang told me about it and told me to remember to give a gift." Meng Daqiang said with a smile, "Congratulations, mother-in-law."
"Aren't you going to find one?"
Meng Daqiang smiled and said, "No, this is good enough. I'll talk about it if I meet someone good in the future."
He was frightened by Zhao Hong. Not only did she make a fuss, she also made him wear...
Forget it, I don’t want to think about the bad things anymore.
"Little grandpa!" When Little Chengzi heard Meng Daqiang's voice, he trotted out, full of joy.
"Little, little dad." Chujiu called out in a stuttering voice.
"Hey, you two are at home too." Meng Daqiang looked at the two sweet-talking children with a smile, and thought of the things in his bag, and said quickly.
"I have some delicious food in my bag. I brought it back from Guangdong Province. Come and have a look."
Ever since his family built a lotus pond, he became busy and forgot about gambling. He felt more and more joy in making money, especially when he saw the children's happy faces, he felt happy in his heart.
Thinking about it now, I feel more and more that I was stupid in the past. Isn’t it more joyful to make money than to gamble?
Ever since he made money from selling clothes, he has become a respected person in the town in the past two years. Everyone in the town calls him "brother" when they see him. It's no longer like before, when everyone wanted to beat him up like a rat crossing the street.
"Why are you spending money again? There's no shortage of food at home." Wang Jinhua is helpless even though her in-laws like to buy things for her.
No wonder the relatives here always treat him badly. Isn’t it obvious that they are trying to steal Xiao Qi?
However, she doesn't mind. It would be nice to have more children and have people love them.
Meng Daqiang didn't care. "It's okay. It doesn't cost much. Besides, you have to be willing to spend money on it if you want to give it to your child."
Inside the room, Mr. Qiu San snorted, glanced at the door, and then looked away.
Yi Bo smiled and turned around to greet him, "Da Qiang, come in quickly, Xiao Qi's card skills are too bad, let her take over."
Meng Qidi snorted, "Why didn't you despise me when I didn't have any horns?"
Meng Daqiang was busy getting things for the children and shouted into the house, "No, I don't want to play cards. I'll just be Xiaoqi's military advisor later."
A big one and two small ones squatted at the door counting the treasures.
Wang Jinhua went back to the house with a smile. Meng Daqiang has really changed a lot. If you talk about the bad things he did in the past, probably no one would believe that he did it now.
After distributing the things to the children, Meng Daqiang brought the bag in, took the slippers handed to him by Wang Jinhua, put them on, and pulled a stool to sit down next to his daughter.
"By the way, Xiaoqi, where is the house you bought before? When are you going to the county town? I'll go with you to take a look."
"Do you have money to buy a house?" Meng Qidi glanced at him and played a card in her hand.
"Yes, this money is enough. Wait, I made a mistake. Change it and pay these together later."
Meng Daqiang was giving his daughter guidance and suddenly felt like he was giving advice on an entire country. He didn't even bother to ask her when she was going to the county town.
If you know how to play cards, you know how to play cards. Meng Daqiang gave a few pointers and the situation changed instantly. Yi Bo was so happy that he put the cards in his hand on the table and said, "You, the father-in-law and son-in-law, have lost!"
Mr. Qiu San said calmly, "Xiao Qi, go down and let him come."
Meng Daqiang waved his hands quickly, "Stop, Third Brother, I won't say anything."
He said he wouldn't play cards, but it would be bad if he got addicted again. He has worked hard to achieve his current success.
Glancing at Meng Daqiang's cowardly look, Mr. Qiu suddenly felt relieved. "You want to buy a house near Xiaoqi's house? That's fine, but my legs are not convenient. Xiaoqi said she has a place for me and Lao Yi to live."
When Third Master Qiu suddenly said this, Meng Daqiang was a little confused. It took him a long time to realize that his third brother was unhappy.
He quickly moved the stool closer to him, "Third brother, I watched you play cards, Xiaoqi is a filial girl and it's her duty."
There's nothing he can do about it. It's his fault that he was in the wrong regarding Xiaoqi's matter.
Mr. Qiu San snorted and said nothing more.
Meng Qidi glanced at Ling Xiao beside her, and Ling Xiao winked at her.
The rain stopped around ten in the morning.
The stream water rose by nearly half a meter. Under the command of his wife, Ling Xiao raised the front and rear water wheels a little.
The lotus pond was full of water, and Meng Qidi rolled up her trouser legs to open the gate.
"Don't go over there. I'll go." Ling Xiao quickly stopped her.
"Then don't pull it all the way out, just pull it out five centimeters." Meng Qidi warned worriedly.
"Um."
"Be careful."
A heavy rain didn't have much impact on the family, but the yard in front of Mr. Qiu San was...
Meng Qidi looked helplessly at the flooded lotus ponds. She estimated that the few fish in them had already escaped...
His place is different from his own. There is no water outlet here. It would be strange if it didn't flood...
It was probably flooded before, but they were all in Beijing and Wang Jinhua couldn't pay attention to so many things, so no one knew about it.
Yi Bo coughed lightly, "Xiao Qi, what should we do?"
"Dig a drain, and stop making a lotus pond in this yard. Plant rice instead."
This used to be a wasteland, and she had come here to catch crayfish and snails. It would be easy to turn it into a field.
"What about the yard?" Yi Bo pointed to the several meters wide ground where the film was placed.
He was naturally happy that Xiao Qi was useful, after all, he was a family member, and, to be honest, he really couldn't get these things...
"Just give me the front yard. I'll store the agricultural products there. I can build a shed when I have time. When the lotus pond is drained, I'll dig up the soil and fill it up."
Meng Qidi was not polite.
"Leave it to me, I'll do it." Yi Bo said hurriedly. Once the county town starts recruiting workers, there will be nothing to do. Even if there is processing work, the workers can do it and he will have time. Xiao Qi is so busy, so he should do it.
"Okay, then I don't care. I'll go get a hoe and dig downstream." Meng Qidi said.
