Chapter 100 Moving to the County

The grain in the cellar must not be soaked in water.

It just so happened that there was some cement left over from making the fireplace last time, so Gu Cheng poured out the cement and started mixing it.

After the cement is mixed, it is pasted at the entrance of the cellar. In this way, even if the water rises, no water will flow in.

Liu Yinyin also tried to put other food in high places at home.

I also packed clothes for the three of us, and took valuables like cash from the house with me.

By the evening, the wind died down and the rain eased off a bit.

The couple discussed whether they should go to the county town now.

Gu Cheng said worriedly, "Why don't we wait a little longer to see if the rain will stop."

There's nothing else to worry about, I'm just worried about catching a cold on the road in such a hot weather.

Liu Yinyin hesitated and said, "Why not go?"

If I wait any longer today I won’t be able to leave, and I don’t know what tomorrow will be like.

She wanted to go to the county town as soon as possible, not for any other reason, but mainly because she was worried that Gu Yanyan would get sick again, and living in the county town would be more convenient for going to the hospital.

Moreover, if the market outside goes up, it will be inconvenient for Gu Cheng to go to work. He cannot keep taking leave, so it is better for him to live in the county town at this time.

I'll wait until the weather gets better and then move back.

Gu Cheng still felt uneasy, so he thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll ride my bike to the steel factory first. There's a small car in the factory. I'll borrow it and come back to pick you up."

The factory has closed for business at this hour, and the car is empty, so it's okay to borrow it.

Liu Yinyin's eyes lit up slightly: "That's even better."

If I had a car, I wouldn't have to worry about Gu Yanyan catching a cold, and I could also move more things to the county town.

There was no time to lose, so Gu Cheng rode his bicycle to the county town before the rain got heavier.

Liu Yinyin continued to pack up at home. There was another big problem. After they left, there was no one to feed the chickens, rabbits, and two pigs in the house.

Liu Yinyin thought about it and decided to ask her parents to help look after the livestock at home.

Thinking of this, Liu Yinyin tidied up the room again. If the water level in the village really rose, they could come over and stay there temporarily.

She didn't put away all the food in the kitchen, but only picked up a bag of flour and a bag of rice and brought them to Gu Yanyan.

There was coarse grain in the house in the county town, and Liu Yinyin did not take the rest of the grain away. The scattered grains added up to about 100 kilograms, which were placed on the cupboard. It was enough for Liu Laifu and his wife to eat for a while.

After I packed up and went to cook, Gu Cheng came back in less than an hour.

"Luckily I borrowed a car." Gu Cheng brushed off the rain on his body and said helplessly, "It's raining heavily outside again."

The heavy rain continued without stopping, causing considerable damage both in the countryside and in the city.

"What's the situation in the county?" Liu Yinyin asked him.

Gu Cheng sighed: "It's not very good. The houses in the city are more or less damaged. In some places, the roads are flooded and people have to take detours. And..."

Gu Cheng paused, sighed and said, "Wife, I have something to tell you."

Liu Yinyin didn't understand and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Gu Cheng frowned and said, "There was a long thunderstorm this morning, and the county power lines were affected. The houses in the compound are now without power. In addition, the roads outside are flooded, so it's not easy to go out now."

Even if the county government arranged for drainage, the rain kept falling and the water on the road could not be completely drained.

Even if they moved to the county seat, the situation would not be much better.

"What about the house? Is there any leakage?" Liu Yinyin worried. If the house was leaking, it would be wet everywhere after raining for so long, and it would be uninhabitable.

"The house is fine." He had just checked the houses in the county town, and found that there were no leaks in several rooms.

It's also lucky.

"That's good." Liu Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief. "As long as the house is habitable, it's fine. As for the power outage... that's okay. I'm used to using kerosene lamps anyway. Besides, we still have flashlights at home."

well!

I'm just unlucky. Why is it so difficult to live in a house with electricity?

After finishing their meal and cleaning up, the two began to move things into the car.

The small car at the steel factory was a jeep, quite old, probably a vehicle discarded by the army.

There were only a raincoat and an umbrella at home, not many things, so we moved them all in two trips.

In the end, Liu Yinyin held Gu Yanyan and sat in the back seat, while Gu Cheng drove in the front.

The two of them still had to go to the Liu family to explain the affairs at home.

The jeep could only take the main road and could not reach the gate of the Liu family. When it was close to the Liu family, Liu Yinyin asked Gu Cheng to hold the child while she got out of the car holding an umbrella.

During the rainstorm, the Liu family was confined at home and could not go out.

In order to drain the water in the yard, the front door of the house was not even closed.

"Dad, Mom..." Liu Yinyin shouted as she entered the room.

Jiang Cuihua was drying food in the main room when she suddenly saw her daughter coming over with an umbrella. She quickly pulled her into the house.

"It's raining so hard, why are you running over here?" In fact, after just a few steps, Liu Yinyin's shoes and pants were soaked.

Liu Yinyin took the dry towel from Jiang Cuihua and wiped the rain off her body while saying, "Mom, I need your help with something."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Cuihua asked without hesitation. Since she was her own daughter, she would definitely help if she could.

"Our family is going to live in the county town for a while. We would like you to help feed the chickens, rabbits, and two pigs at home," said Liu Yinyin.

"Go to live in the county town?" Jiang Cuihua was surprised. "Where will you live in the county town?"

Jiang Cuihua still doesn't know about the houses in the staff compound.

Liu Yinyin slapped her head and said, "Mom, I forgot to tell you that Gu Cheng's unit has allocated him a house, which was just furnished some time ago. It's raining now, and it's not convenient for Gu Cheng to go to work since he lives in the countryside.

So, we thought about staying in the county town for a few days, and then we would come back to live there when the rain stops. ”

There are too many things here in the countryside, and they can't just leave within this year.

"You have a house?" Jiang Cuihua was surprised and happy when she heard it. "Hey, kid, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

You should know that they have a house in the county town. Jiang Cuihua had already persuaded her daughter to live there. It is so nice to live in the city.

As for the lady's job, she wouldn't make much money anyway, so she could just let Jiang Zhiqing do it for her.

Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "I never thought about living in the county town before."

Liu Laifu also came over at this time. When he heard his daughter say that the family was going to live in the county town, he quickly interrupted and said, "You guys go ahead. Don't worry about the things at home. Your mother and I will take turns to look after them later."

At worst, I still have several sons, and feeding pigs is not a big deal.

But within a few months, Liu Lai Fu looked older and had a lot more white hair.
