Ancient natural disasters: The whole family traveled through time and was almost wiped out

Chapter 185

"Jiang Shi!!!"

Huang just happened to come over and was furious when she heard what Jiang's father said: "Do you really think you are still young? Don't you know what to say and what not to say? What dirty year and clean year, you say all the dirty and smelly things, you have no control over your stinky mouth!"

Father Jiang: “…”

What did he say? He just said something casually! Why did he start cursing?!

Facts have proved that when someone dislikes you, even swallowing your saliva is wrong!

No, even the breathing is wrong!

The dispute has begun again!

It was started unilaterally by Huang.

Jiang Yipei, Mr. Jiang, and Jiang Ji just watched from the side -

Every time Jiang's father said something, Huang would retort. Later, Jiang's father dared not to speak anymore. Huang was still not satisfied: "Speak up, why don't you speak? Aren't you a good speaker? Why don't you speak? Speak up!"

Father Jiang finally ran away, covering his ears - he returned to his room, closed the door and put a table behind it, as if he was afraid someone would come in.

Who = Huang.

Huang was so angry that she was about to slam the door. Oh no, she actually kicked it.

“Mother, Mother!” Jiang Suying had just returned from answering questions. When she heard the noise, she quickly grabbed the man and said, “Let’s not bother with him. It’s not worth getting angry! If…if my father always does this…”

She leaned close to her ear and said, "I'll help you find a reasonable new one!"

"You kid!" Huang patted her, "He's your father!"

It doesn’t matter who your father is!

Brain problems are really mysterious. Some people return to normal after a good night's sleep, some take three to four or five years to show improvement, and some even have cognitive errors throughout their lives.

If so, what should Huang do?

To fulfill her father's wish and put herself in a difficult position?

But it knew that Huang was willing. Although she was unreasonable in her words, she still felt sorry for Jiang's father in her heart.

"Don't think about these trivial things." Huang reminded him again, and finally looked at the tightly closed door and returned to her and Jiang's father's room, although she was the only one living in that room now.

"Ugh."

Jiang Suying sighed, went to get the acupuncture bag and came back, she reached out and knocked on the door, no one answered, but how could Jiang Suying not know that her father was inside.

"Dad, it's me. My mother is gone."

"Really?"

"Really, really!" Jiang Suying knocked again: "I'm here to give you acupuncture."

"Wait a moment." There was the sound of moving tables and chairs in the room. After a while, Jiang's father finally opened the door. He opened it a crack and looked out carefully. Seeing that there was no one there, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Come in quickly."

Close the door, bolt it, and push against the table.

Jiang Suying: “…”

"Dad, what are you doing? Are you protecting against thieves? That's mom!"

Father Jiang paused and smiled awkwardly: "I was afraid that your mother would come in and beat me."

"Come on, give me the needle!"

Jiang Suying rolled her eyes and let her father lie down. After a while, her father hissed again and again: "Mother Ying, why is Dad in so much pain?"

"Does it hurt?" Jiang Suying looked at the blood-spattered back and said without emotion: "Just bear with it if it hurts. I've changed a new set of needles for you. If you want to heal quickly, you have to suffer a little."

"Oh……"

Perhaps Jiang's father noticed that Jiang Suying was a little upset towards him, and he didn't dare to say that he felt fine now and it didn't matter whether he could be cured or not - however, he knew that everyone in the family hoped that he would be cured quickly so that the family could return to normal life.

-

"It's so cold!" Jiang Suying shivered as she entered the room: "Why is this room still so cold even with the brazier?"

"Because there is no kang!" Jiang Xiaomi hadn't finished writing her lesson plan yet. She was sleepy and was tucking the quilt under her. "Hey, why does this quilt feel a little damp? It's not warm even when I sleep in it."

"Your grandmother said that these quilts were stored in the cellar. Although the cellar was not soaked in water, they were still a little damp, whether they were used as mattress pads or quilts. Plus, there was no sun, so there was no chance for them to dry in the sun. We could only use them reluctantly."

As Jiang Suying spoke, she changed her clothes, took off the simple headdress on her head, and lay down in the quilt, shivering from the cold.

"Mi, maybe we need to change the quilt!"

"alright."

Jiang Xiaomi got up and put on her clothes. She first took a quilt and gave it to Jiang Suying, asking her to put it on so she wouldn't catch a cold. Then she put the damp quilt on the bed on the table. Finally, she took out two quilts from the space, one for a mattress and two for a blanket, one for each person. She no longer had to worry about snatching her mother's quilt.

Jiang Suying thought this was a great idea. If it was a quilt, she would definitely not be able to snatch it from Jiang Xiaomi!

This damn girl is so energetic!

"Ah! It's warm!" Jiang Xiaomi pulled the quilt up, covering half of her face. She finally felt that this kind of quilt was for people to cover themselves with. What was that just now? The more she covered herself, the colder she felt!

Just cover yourself with a new quilt or dry quilt and you will be warm!

Although there is a little bit of the unique smell of a new quilt, it can be completely ignored under the condition of the first level of warmth retention.

"Mom? Where's my dad? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Jiang Xiaomi began to tuck the quilt under her body, leaving only her black head exposed. She could only turn her head left and right. At this moment, she turned to the right and looked towards the door.

"He's talking to my grandfather and my father!" Jiang Suying was busy tucking the quilt under her body. She said, "But even if they're done talking, he can't go back to my room to sleep."

"Although I also think so, let him sleep with my brother, but why can't he sleep in your room? Aren't you a couple?" Jiang Xiaomi turned to the left to look at her mother.

"Do I need to explain to you whether we are a couple?" If the quilt had not been tucked in, Jiang Suying would have reached out and hit her.

"As for the rules here, your grandmother just told me that a married woman cannot sleep in the same bed with her husband when she returns to her parents' home. There are rules like this and that. As for the consequences of sleeping together, your grandmother didn't say anything more specific, so I don't know."

"I don't understand." Jiang Xiaomi had never heard of this rule, but she was too sleepy. She yawned and tears were about to come out. She didn't know whether it was a custom or not, she only knew that three people would not have to squeeze into a 1.5-meter bed tonight.

In ancient times, a 1.5-meter bed was considered a very large bed, but if three people slept on it, no matter how thin they were, it would still be crowded.

The room they sleep in now is the room Jiang Suying lived in before she got married. The Jiang family still has several empty rooms for entertaining guests, so Jiang Suying's room has been preserved intact.

It was the same in Jiangjia Village. Married women and their spouses were also not allowed to sleep together. The servants had already cleaned up their respective rooms. Jiang Liang was not in a hurry to chase Zhao Sheng away. The two of them circled around the kang. Jiang Liang touched the outer wall and it was a little hot.

"Mom, this kang is great!" She said to Old Lady Yang with a smile, and then said to Zhao Sheng, "When we get home, let's find some kangs for others. I haven't even laid down on one yet, but I can already feel the heat."

"Indeed." Zhao Sheng was also amazed: "Dad and Mom are not in good health. If they had this kang, they would get sick less often in the future. Mom, how come Big Brother knows this?"

Isn't this a craftsman's skill? My brother-in-law is an official...

"Have you forgotten where your elder brother is an official?" Old Lady Yang raised her eyebrows. "The Ministry of Industry. As an old woman, I don't know what the Ministry of Industry is, but there are people with great abilities in it. Your elder brother has heard a lot and done a lot, so he will learn a lot. You will see later."

Jiang Yipei has always been the pride of Jiang Lizheng and Old Lady Yang. They could talk about him for days and nights without finishing their words.

Zhao Sheng hurriedly followed suit. To be honest, he had always been a little afraid of his brother-in-law. He always felt that he was too amazing. For a student from a poor family to pass the imperial examination and become an official in Beijing was not something that could be achieved by talent or hard work alone.

The realization of class is extremely difficult, just like them businessmen, no matter how rich they are, they are still the lowest merchants among the “scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans”.

Old Lady Yang was amused by Zhao Sheng and laughed. She said, "When your eldest brother comes back, ask him to go to your house to have a look. He has taught so many people how to make a kang, but no one's skills can match his. Your second brother has also learned it, but he can only say that it doesn't collapse. If you dare to use it, you can ask your second brother to go."

"I'm not in a hurry. I'll just wait for my elder brother." Jiang Liang said with a smile, "When will my elder brother come back?"

"Mom doesn't know. He said he would stay at his father-in-law's house for one night before coming back. He should be back tomorrow." Old Mrs. Yang said uncertainly.

Anyway, they had already said when they left that they would stay overnight.

"It's okay. I can wait a few more days." Jiang Liang held Old Lady Yang's arm and said, "I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I miss him so much."

"Silly child, you'll see him when he comes back. One or two days won't make a difference." Old Lady Yang patted her on the back and said, "Okay, go to bed early."

"Okay." Jiang Liang escorted Old Lady Yang out of the house.

Jiang Liang and Jiang Yipei have the best relationship. She is the only girl in the family. Jiang Yipei dotes on his only sister very much. It is impossible for him to look down on her because she is a girl and forbid her from touching books. He even teaches her to read while reading to her. What he teaches her are books of sages, not female training and virtues.

When the eldest brother left Beijing for his hometown, Jiang Liang originally went back to her mother's home to wait for her eldest brother to come back and welcome him. Unfortunately, her youngest son, who came back with her, suddenly had a high fever, so she had to go back to the town. When her youngest son got better, she wanted to go back to Jiangjia Village again, but before she could set off, she received a message from her eldest brother that he had to rush to harvest, and she never saw him again afterwards.

Although her husband's family ran a cloth shop, they also had a lot of land. However, she was unlucky in that the village where their land was located was arranged to be the last one by County Magistrate Chen. In other words, her family had to harvest most of the rice by themselves.

After all, the time for harvesting is limited, and the harvesters dare not and cannot wait, for they are afraid that something unexpected will happen, resulting in a lack of rice to cook.

As it turned out, her husband's decision was correct, because the harvester came in the afternoon and left in the evening. Also on the same day, it started to drizzle and then it rained heavily. Fortunately, their rice was dried by the harvester, otherwise they would not know what to do with the wet rice.

Her husband's shop sells cloth, and cloth is most afraid of being soaked in water. Luoshui County has a lot of rainfall every year, and there are occasional floods, so the shop has done a very good job in preventing rain and moisture. It is just right for storing grain now.

"Fortunately, I insisted on marrying you back then. It must be the guidance given to me by my ancestors." Zhao Sheng hugged Jiang Liang with a look of emotion.

Jiang Liang couldn't help but pat the back of his hand that was hugging her: "You've said this several times."

"No matter how many times I say it, this is the truth. I've found a treasure!" Zhao Sheng rubbed his face against Jiang Liang's neck.

"Itchy!" Jiang Liang dodged, but the smile on her face showed that she still liked what Zhao Sheng said.

During this period, Zhao Sheng told Jiang Liang more than once that he was able to marry her because of the great virtue accumulated by his ancestors.

Otherwise, the Zhao family would certainly not have had enough time to harvest the crops. One can imagine what kind of life they would have lived after the flood. How could they have lived without worries about food and clothing like they do now?

At the Lantern Festival that year, Zhao Sheng fell in love with Jiang Liang at first sight. When he found out where Jiang Liang came from, he immediately found a matchmaker to propose marriage.

When Jiang Yipei learned the news and went to inquire about this person's character, he checked the wrong person and found a dandy boy with the same name and surname, so that when Zhao Sheng came to the house with the matchmaker for the second time, he beat him up severely.

He wasn't disabled or killed, but he was scared.

"That time, your eldest brother really beat me to death! I get scared every time I see him now!" Zhao Sheng said with emotion. He was so scared that he felt he was going to hit him if he looked at him for two more seconds!

Later the misunderstanding was cleared up, but the beating from Jiang Yipei left a lifelong trauma on Zhao Sheng, and he became more afraid of him every time he saw him.

Even so, he asked the matchmaker to propose marriage again and again. This can really be said to be true love.

In the end, even Jiang Yipei was moved by him, not to mention Jiang Lizheng and Old Lady Yang, even though the Zhao family was a merchant family - at that time Jiang Yipei was already a scholar, and the Jiang family was considered a family of farming and reading.

If Jiang Yipei had no achievements, Jiang Liang would be marrying up if she married Zhao Sheng. Otherwise, it would be a question of whether the Jiang family would look down upon the Zhao family.

"What are you reminiscing about? Your children are already teenagers! Okay, go back to sleep!" Jiang Liang drove him away.

"Okay." Jiang Liang said "Hey" exaggeratedly before walking out of the room: "Sleep alone tonight!"

In the middle of the night, Jiang Liang woke up in a sweat. She was confused. Is this a kang? It's so hot!

On the other side, Jiang Xiaomi kept getting into Jiang Suying's bed, waking her up: "Huh?"

"so cold!"

Jiang Suying didn't feel it at first, but after Jiang Xiaomi said that, she suddenly felt it. Is it that cold?

It was very cold!

Jiang Suying hugged Jiang Xiaomi to absorb the heat source, and said unhappily: "I was sleeping well, I didn't feel cold at all, why did you wake me up like a pig?!"

"I'm cold!"

"If you're cold, get up and light some charcoal!"

"It's so dark, I'm scared!"

"I'm not afraid of you! Hurry up and get up!"

"Humph!"
