People in the village go hunting and farm in the mountains.

The two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, together with Yu San and Yu Si, returned to the pig farm and found the small boat. They rowed around and looked around.

Now it's even whiter outside.

As the water level rises, there are now very few houses in Yujia Village whose roofs can be seen.

A few people were rowing a boat, and sometimes they could see someone's clothes or a wooden basin floating on the water.

In this special period, they picked up everything that could be used.

Jiang Songshu is good at catching fish. He can catch more than ten or twenty fish a day when he goes out.

This was also the time when the water was flooding. If he had to catch fish from the river normally, he wouldn't be able to catch so many.

Several people came out for a visit, and everyone had nothing in their hands.

Children are playing at home, and when they see that they have gained a lot, they start making noises and want to follow them when they go out.

I didn’t dare to take my children to the water, so I simply didn’t go out.

In addition to rice noodles, Jiang's specialty is sweet potato noodles.

Originally, so many sweet potatoes were eaten to escape famine and disaster.

Jiang Lirang brought out forty kilograms of dried vermicelli and gave twenty kilograms to the people living in the cave. He left twenty kilograms for everyone to eat together at noon. Jiang Li invited everyone to eat.

This was the first time for people in Yujiacun to eat vermicelli. Unexpectedly, it swelled up when soaked in water.

It's still a big mixed pot, with the fish caught outside yesterday and not willing to finish eating put in it, and mushrooms and the like.

Even before the meal started, the village was filled with a fragrant smell.

Everyone looked at the few sweet potato vermicelli in the bowl. They were about two wide and one was almost as big as a bowl. When picked up, they looked crystal clear and slippery, and they tasted delicious. Both adults and children loved eating them.

And they found that this sweet potato vermicelli made them less hungry after eating.

Many people ask how these sweet potato vermicelli are made?

The family doesn’t grow a lot of food, but when it comes to growing sweet potatoes, they are heavy. One acre of land can produce thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes.

It wasn't until Jiang Li said that it takes five or six pounds of sweet potatoes to produce one pound of sweet potato flour. When everyone heard this, they immediately retreated.

Just kidding, one acre of land can only produce two to three hundred kilograms of sweet potato vermicelli, which requires a lot of labor and effort.

Look at it this way, eating sweet potato noodles to stave off hunger is not the same as eating rice to stave off hunger?

Soon everyone no longer asked Jiang Li in detail, and their interest was waning.

Madam Zhang Sheng looked on and breathed a sigh of relief. People in this village didn't understand.

She knew, however, that one acre of land could produce two to three hundred kilograms of vermicelli, while growing grain could produce more than three hundred kilograms of grain. However, based on the pre-disaster price, one kilogram of grain could only be sold for four or five kilograms. It's a penny, but if you sell a pound of sweet potato vermicelli, it should be worth about ten pence.

Of course, it would be more profitable to sell cooked food instead of dry vermicelli.

There was no need to tell the villagers about this. Mrs. Zhang Sheng thought that after the disaster, her boss might be able to make some money back from sweet potato vermicelli!

In this way, the group of people lived in the mountains for nearly ten days, and the sun finally started to shine.

When we woke up early in the morning, we heard the crisp chirping of birds outside, and we were already in a good mood before we even saw the sun outside.

"Dad, mother, grandma! The sun is shining outside. Get up quickly!"

A little kid ran out to pee and screamed with joy when he saw the sun came up.

Fortunately, the Jiang family chose to live in a room on the far side, so they were not disturbed much.

Or their ignorant adults came and banged on their door.

"The sun is out, the sun is out! Grandpa Jiang, Miss Jiang!"

I didn't know who was knocking on the door outside, but they ran over after taking the photo. As soon as Jiang Li got dressed and came out, there was no one at the door.

The adults and children who were noisy in the yard didn't know what to do at this time, and they disappeared.

Jiang Li was so blinded by the dazzling light that she could hardly open her eyes.

He reacted immediately and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

"The sun is really shining."

As soon as breakfast was finished, only those who were left to clean up their hands were left, while everyone else ran away in a huff.

The men went to see if the water had subsided outside, while the children and the elderly went to bathe in the sunshine. They felt like they had a musty smell after not seeing the sun for so many days. As for the women, they came out to bask in the sun with their clothes and quilts in hand.

Although everyone will face the problem of rebuilding their homes after the disaster, at least at this moment everyone is full of hope.

Half an hour later, the group of men rushed back, "The water has receded, the water has receded!"

Three or four days ago, they went out to see the water in the pig farm, which had long since receded, but only to a level high at the foot of the pig farm hill.

The water level has really receded now. When we get down the mountain, we can see that the area between our knees and thighs is no longer very deep.

After saying that the water receded, I was very happy at first, but I had to tell everyone about what I saw in the village.

Some old houses in the village that were in disrepair were also washed away by the water this time.

Although the water has receded, we may not be able to go back for the time being. Our houses are gone and we have nowhere to live. We have to wait until the water recedes completely to tidy up and build new houses.

After such a torment, he could not return to the village for less than ten days and half a month.

"It's okay, let's go back and take a look!"

Someone in the crowd said.

Others also followed suit.

"Okay, okay, you can go back if you want. Just go back and pack up, and then you're ready to go."

Yu Zhonghui responded immediately.

As the village chief, he still has some status. As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone became quiet and began to prepare.

Many people are stupid with hoes and shovels.

The group of people thought that they could finally go home, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when I arrived at the pig farm, I stood on the mountainside and looked down. It was still a bit different from what I had imagined.

The water has indeed not receded yet, but it looks like it is not as deep as before.

I looked around and found that the houses in the village were indeed still soaked. Many houses had not collapsed. From a distance, they were badly damaged by this natural disaster and looked dirty.

Jiang Li stood next to Yu Zhonghui and said: "Diseases are easy to occur when flooded. When the water recedes, everyone will have to cover their mouths and noses, and they will have to spread lime at home."

Yu Zhonghui was a little confused, but he nodded anyway, but he didn't know if the villagers would cooperate then.

Since they couldn't go back down the mountain to clean up, at Yu Zhonghui's call, the guys cleaned up the pig farm first.

With one person and one shovel, some mud on the floor of the pig farm was quickly cleared away.

Jiang Li came over the next day with a bag of lime. Along with Jiang Songshu, Zhang Wen and Zhang Wu, the four of them sprinkled the pig farm with lime.

In the afternoon, the water in Yujia Village finally receded completely, and now the villagers rushed down like dumplings.
