As soon as these words came out, Song Boyu quickly reached out and covered Yuanbao's mouth.
“Hmm!”
Baoya and Tianen listened to Yuanbao's words and looked at Song Jianye. They also wanted to know when their father would go to treat his leg.
Yang Yulan paused, turned her head, and looked out the window. The whistling wind and the sound of rain pounded against the window. She was a little distracted. When would this wind and rain stop?
Song Jianye was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "When the wind and rain stop, Third Uncle will go to town to get his leg treated."
He had long since resigned himself to the idea and had originally decided against treatment. It was only after Song Aiguo and Chen Xiuxiu persuaded him to go for it. Now, with such a strong wind and no sign of stopping the rain any time soon, this was probably the outcome.
He didn't think about it anymore, and his men continued to work.
Baoya turned her head and looked outside, thinking that it would be great if the rain stopped when she woke up, so that her father could go to town to treat his leg.
The room suddenly became quiet. Yuanbao realized that he had said the wrong thing and he lowered his head and dared not say another word.
.......
Over at the Ma family, Mrs. Tian watched the wind howl loudly outside, only to feel even more annoyed. Meanwhile, Ma Laicai and Ma Yushan had been arguing for some unknown reason, further upsetting her.
"Stop making noise, you guys are all too idle, aren't you? Go and work for me if you have time. Can't you see how dirty the floor is inside the house because you can't go out? Sweep it up for me quickly. If you keep making noise, I'll beat you up!"
Ma Laicai and Ma Yushan immediately stopped saying anything and started sweeping the floor with the broom.
Ever since the Song family came that day, Mrs. Tian treated them worse and worse. That night she beat them all up, and the howling didn't stop until midnight.
She felt bad, because that was a month's work points! Mrs. Tian still felt bad when she thought about it now. The wind blew again today, and there was no telling when it would stop. Seeing that she had lost another day's work points, she was so worried that her face had a few more wrinkles.
Just as she was thinking about it, she slapped her thigh and said, "It's broken!"
Mrs. Tian suddenly remembered the corn she had planted a few days ago. It had already grown a little bit. The wind was so strong outside, she hoped it would be blown down.
She quickly called her two sons to cover it with plastic sheeting.
It was raining heavily outside. Ma Zhenggang and Ma Zhengqiang were reluctant to go out and wanted to wait until the rain stopped.
But Mrs. Tian was unwilling to do that. She had just lost a month's work points. If this kind of corn died again, she would vomit to death.
"Hurry up, it won't take much."
Ma Zhenggang and Ma Zhengqiang had no choice but to brave the rain and go to their own plot with plastic sheeting. After working for a long time, they finally got it done.
Feng Guizhi watched the wind and rain outside, and she was a little worried about the corn she was planting in the backyard. But with the wind so strong, she was sure to get soaked if she went out. She gritted her teeth and didn't let Song Aiguo and the others go.
It was windy and rainy, and it would take quite a while to put up the plastic sheeting. It wouldn't be worth it if she got sick from the cold. She simply went inside and stopped thinking about it.
The rain had been falling for three days straight, and the Song family was filled with worry. They had originally planned to take Song Jianye to town to get his leg treated, but with the incessant downpour, they didn't know when they would be able to leave. Even if the rain stopped, the muddy roads would be difficult to walk on, and it would take several more days for the roads to dry up.
As they counted the days that passed, they became increasingly worried.
Song Aiguo sat in the room and couldn't help but sigh. Chen Xiuxiu knew what he was thinking, and a hint of sadness also appeared on her face.
The third brother's family has really suffered a lot of misfortunes.
By the fourth day, water had accumulated in the low-lying areas. If it continued to rain for a few more days, the fields would definitely be flooded.
Song Yuangang couldn't sit still any longer. He braved the rain and went to the brigade headquarters. He started shouting with a loudspeaker, "Fellow villagers, this rain won't stop. Our fields are going to flood. If we don't drain the rainwater, we won't have any food to eat in two months."
"Now, all the young and strong people at home, come to the brigade headquarters. Here are some raincoats. Put them on and we have to continue digging the river... We have to work hard, otherwise... we will have no food to eat..."
Hearing the intermittent words shouted out from the loudspeaker, Song Aiguo and Song Aimin quickly got up and prepared to go to the brigade headquarters.
After all, the harvest is related to the grain that each family can share, so basically all the young and strong people in each family went, except for the two brothers Ma Zhenggang and Ma Zhengqiang from Tian Pozi's family.
Because two days ago, when Mrs. Tian asked them to cover the corn with plastic sheeting, they both got very cold and were drenched for nearly an hour.
It was raining heavily and the wind was so strong that not long after they came back, both of them started to have fever and colds.
At this moment, the two of them were still lying in bed and couldn't get up at all.
Mrs. Tian thought that she could probably earn a few work points today, so she went into the house to call her two sons, but Ma Zhenggang and Ma Zhengqiang were lying on the bed groaning and unable to even get up.
"Mom, ahem, I...I really can't go..."
She felt distressed and anxious, and turned around to scold her son and daughter-in-law: "How did you take care of him? He hasn't recovered after several days. Is this how you are as daughters-in-law? Huh? Is it because I haven't been working these days that you've started to be lazy again?"
The two daughters-in-law were certainly not convinced in their hearts, but they all knew that Mrs. Tian was a strong-willed person, especially her mouth was extremely powerful, so they didn't dare to talk back at all. They simply lowered their heads and said nothing.
Mrs. Tian was filled with anger. Seeing that her two sons couldn't get up, she turned around and went back to her room.
At the old Song family, seeing that Song Aiguo and Song Aimin were about to leave, Feng Guizhi hurried into the kitchen and boiled two bowls of ginger tea for them to drink before leaving.
The rain was still falling outside, and the road outside had begun to accumulate water. Song Aiguo and Song Aimin waded through the water and mud.
It was almost lunchtime when Song Aiguo and Song Aimin returned, their clothes soaked. Feng Guizhi had already boiled a large pot of hot water, waiting for them to return so she could wash their faces and bodies with it, then drink a bowl of hot ginger soup to warm them up and prevent them from catching a cold.
Fortunately, the two brothers are in good health and have no headaches or fever.
It took another two days to dig the river. Fortunately, we had dug some water in advance. After dredging some areas, the land was finally not flooded.
Seeing that the work was almost done, Song Yuangang stopped letting anyone go out. It had been raining for two days, and if they went out and caught a cold, it would be troublesome. The brigade didn't have much, so they could only count work points. So he paid out of his own pocket and gave everyone who went out an egg. A brown sugar egg yolk soup would warm them up at home.
Feng Guizhi took two eggs that night and three more from the cupboard, using five eggs to make a large pot of hot egg soup. She added a few green vegetables and added two drops of sesame oil after taking it out of the pot, and the fragrance immediately wafted out.
At night,
Everyone had a hot meal happily.
Sitting at the table, Song Aiguo looked outside. The rain had lightened up a bit. "I don't have to go dig the river tomorrow. Why don't the three of us brothers take Jianye to the town together? The rain should be lighter tomorrow. I'll go borrow two raincoats and rubber shoes from the team leader. I'll drink two bowls of ginger soup before we go. We'll be fine when we get to the town hospital."
Chen Xiuxiu looked outside. Although the rain had lightened a bit, the muddy road was difficult to walk on, especially since she had to carry Song Jianye on her back. But she didn't say anything. She saw that they had already been delayed for several days. If they didn't go now, it would be too late.
Song Aimin also nodded: "Okay, then the three of us will take turns carrying the third child, and we should get to the town faster."
Yang Yulan felt a bit complicated. She wanted Song Jianye to go to the town for treatment, but it was too difficult to carry someone on his back that day. She couldn't say no, but thinking about Song Jianye, she shook her head.
"It's raining and the roads are slippery. If you carry Jianye on your back, and it's windy and rainy, and the road is difficult to walk on, Jianye won't agree. Let's wait two more days."
Feng Guizhi certainly felt bad for her third son, but she still had to consider the actual situation. She said, "Let's see if it rains heavily tomorrow, then we'll decide."
Song Aiguo and Song Aimin didn't say anything. The whole family looked outside, hoping that the rain would stop soon.
Unfortunately, the next day, the rain was still falling. It wasn't a downpour, but it was still heavy. Song Aiguo didn't want to give up, so he went to talk to Song Jianye. Sure enough, Song Jianye was just as unwilling as Yang Yulan had thought.
"Brother, even if you walk by yourself outside, it will probably take several hours to get to the town. If you carry me on your back, you will be unable to walk before you go far. Forget it, don't bother. I don't want to make you sick again." Song Jianye said with a sigh.
If the road were good, he might be willing to give it a try. But the roads outside were all muddy, and he sank in with every step he took. Just thinking about how tiring it must be, you can imagine how tiring it must be.
Of course Song Aiguo knew this, but he still wanted to give it a try. He didn't want to watch his brother become lame.
"Third brother, just listen to our brother this time. Let's give it a try. If it doesn't work, come back. Is that okay with you?" Song Aimin also advised.
Song Jianye sighed and finally agreed. He didn't want to disappoint his family.
A piece of heart.
Before leaving, everyone drank a bowl of hot ginger soup, and then Song Aiguo put on his raincoat and carried Song Jianye outside.
Once outside, I realized just how difficult the walk actually was. Song Aiguo was already so tall and heavy, and carrying Song Jianye on his back made it even harder. Every time he stepped into the mud, he sank several centimeters deep. The wet mud had a strong suction force, and it took a lot of effort to finally take a step.
The rain smeared his face and blurred his vision. Song Aiguo gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.
"Brother, stop, let's go back." Song Jianye sighed and persuaded.
Song Aiguo didn't listen and continued walking forward. Song Jianshe and Song Aimin walked beside him, one on each side protecting the other. Although they didn't carry anyone, the road was not much easier to walk on.
The four brothers slowly walked away.
.......
Baoya stood at the door of the main hall and looked outside, worried about Song Jianye and the others.
In the room, Song Bowen Boyu and others were teaching Yun Duo Yuanbao and others, but she was worried about Song Jianye and couldn't calm down.
Song Tianen was just like Baoya, both of them were standing at the door with frowns on their faces, looking outside.
Seeing them like this, Yang Yulan felt a little distressed. After having lunch early at noon, Yang Yulan took them back to the west room, took off their shoes, stuffed them into the quilt, and coaxed them to sleep.
"When you wake up, maybe your father will be back. Go to sleep, mom is here with you."
Yang Yulan softened her voice and coaxed them, patting them lightly with her hands.
Baoya listened to Yang Yulan's words and closed her eyes, thinking that she was going to sleep and that her father would be back safely when she woke up.
Not long after, Baoya and Tianen both fell asleep.
Yang Yulan continued to pat their backs until they were both asleep. After relaxing for a while, she sat back by the window and continued making clothes for Baoya.
But she couldn't help but look outside, worried about Song Jianye and the others, wondering how they were doing.
Baoya, who was sleeping, was not sleeping well this time because she had another dream.
