Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

As a mother, she could say that she wanted to marry a boy. After all, boys are thick-skinned and it doesn't matter whether the marriage is successful or not. It often happens that farmers marry boys and are rejected. But girls are different from boys. Girls are thin-skinned. Besides, her Xiaoyin is a proud person. If she directly said that Xiaoyin would marry Xiaowen, it would be too devaluing for the girl. To put it bluntly, it would be the same as throwing money away.

She had no hope of pairing Xiaolan and Xiaojin in the first place, and the reason she mentioned the marriage of the two children was just to make Shengxuan sad. Because he rejected the marriage of Xiaojin and Xiaolan, if she married Xiaowen now, the other party would be embarrassed to reject her for the second time because he had rejected her once before.

But she never expected that the third brother asked her to find a husband for Xiaoyin in the town before she could finish her words, but the husband refused to accept her suggestion at all.

Xiao Jin's marriage was easy to arrange, but as for Xiao Yin, Lanhua looked up at her daughter. Her daughter was pretty and had a nice figure. If she arranged a marriage casually, not only would Xiao Yin not be willing, but even she, as a mother, would not agree.

Lanhua thought to herself that she would have to send a message to Grandpa Sheng and Mrs. Cui after returning home. While the old couple was not at home, the third brother ignored her as the eldest sister more and more. If this continued, the relationship between them and the Sheng family would be cut off.

The weather in June was like a child's face. Heavy rain fell for two consecutive days, and the river on Xiaolan's farm rose a lot.

Sheng Xuan was afraid of flooding. After all, Shengjia Village had suffered many disasters in the past two years, so he dared not relax for a moment. In the past two days, he led his family to build a higher river bank in this section of the village, and he was unable to do it in other places.

Although Xiao Lan laughed at him and said that if there was a flood, it would be useless to just build up our house, but Sheng Xuan would not listen and still proceeded according to his plan.

Sheng Xuan was not the only one who was worried. The old crops in the village were also worried that the heavy rain would affect the harvest of crops. After all, it was not uncommon for floods to flood farmland and cause crop failure.

The adults in the village looked sad, but the children didn't care. They loved rainy days so much. They went to the river in groups to watch the rolling waves, thinking that when the rain stopped, they could go to the river to play, catch fish or shrimp, which was very interesting.

Although Xiaolan's family built a high river bank and had farmhands to look after the fish pond, Sheng Xuan couldn't rest assured. When it rained heavily, he went to the river bank several times to see if the river bank was high enough and strong enough. He was worried that the river water would spread over and wash away the fish in his own fish pond.

However, it is gratifying that the fish pond is still some distance away from the river bank, and the reinforced river bank is very strong. Although the river water has risen sharply, it has finally been blocked outside the village.

When the rain subsided a little, Xiaolan, Xiaoting and Xiaowen each put on a straw raincoat and walked towards the river.

This time when Xiaowen came back, Mr. Huang did not come with him, as he was going to Beijing to take the exam. However, the teacher Mr. Huang recommended to Xiaowen had not arrived yet, so Xiaowen had to go to a private school first.

It rained heavily these days, and the private school was closed. Xiao Lan didn't want to see her brother become a bookworm who didn't work hard and didn't know the difference between grains, so she dragged him to see the river.

As a modern person, Xiao Lan was naturally not used to wearing a raincoat. It was too heavy and made her feel uncomfortable. But the oil-paper umbrella could not withstand such a strong wind and rain. She could only bear the discomfort and put on the raincoat.

Although she was in shackles, the three siblings chatted and laughed along the way, making her completely ignore the discomfort in her body.

Standing on the river bank, watching the rolling river water and the completely changed appearance of the stream, several people could not help but exclaim in amazement.

Watching the water in the river rising rapidly, Xiao Lan sighed that it was fortunate that her father did not listen to her. If the river embankment was not built, the fish pond on her family's farm would be in danger.

"The water in the river is really high today. I heard that the head of the village has organized the villagers to build a river bank." Xiaoting said leisurely. She naturally heard what Zhang said. After all, Shengxuan went to the village quite a lot in the past few days, and he told Zhang about the situation in the village when he came back.

The disasters of the past two years have frightened the villagers. Whenever the situation gets a little worse, everyone becomes nervous and actively responds to the call of the head of the village. Although they have to build river embankments in the rain, no one complains.

After all, if the river bursts its banks, no one will be able to escape, and the crops in the village fields will be ruined. Now no one can bear such a big loss anymore. They have really had enough of the life of displacement in the past two years.

Xiao Lan looked into the distance and saw children playing in groups of three or four by the river. Children love playing in the water the most. Xiao Lan couldn't resist the temptation of water when she was a child. Some brave children rolled up their trousers and went into the water to test the depth of the river. Although the children were reminded by their parents, they still didn't learn their lesson and couldn't resist the temptation of playing in the water. Xiao Lan shook her head secretly and retracted her gaze.

"Our father is here." Xiaowen suddenly reminded.

At this moment, Sheng Xuan brought his farmhands here to see the rising water level in the river and the fish pond.

The rain has been so heavy in the past few days that not only has the water in the river risen sharply, but also the water in the fish pond has risen a lot. The rain is much lighter now, so Sheng Xuan led the farmhands to scoop water out with buckets. He was afraid that the water in the fish pond would overflow and the fish in it would go out with it.

Xiao Lan couldn't see clearly what the water in the fish pond looked like, but the water in the river was very turbid, so she guessed the water in the fish pond was similar.

The reason why Xiao Lan couldn't see the water in the fish pond clearly was because the surface of the fish pond was completely covered by lotus leaves and lotus flowers. Many lotus leaves and lotus flowers were washed by the rain, some of them had broken branches and leaves, and the petals had fallen all over the water.

Xiao Lan thought that when the weather got better, the lotus pond should be able to recover. After all, the lotus plants have very strong vitality.

Sheng Xuan followed the farmhands to scoop water out, but he did not let the children help because he was afraid that the children would fall into the water. He and the farmhands could fully handle these things.
