About my future with you.

Hearing this sentence gives people a bad feeling.

Zhou Qian'an frowned and looked at her with a little confusion. His thin lips moved several times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't ask. He just said, "Okay, then we can chat together when we have time."

"Yeah." He Jing thought Zhou Qi'an understood what she meant, and smiled, "Be careful on the way back."

"Okay." Zhou Qian'an waved his hand and asked He Jing to go back first before he turned and left.

However, on the way home, Zhou Qian'an kept wondering what He Jing meant by what she said.

To the extent that he didn't react even after he got home.

Chen Fanglan saw that he was absent-minded and couldn't help asking, "Why do you look so distracted after visiting the He family?"

"What did He Jing tell you?"

Zhou Qian raised his eyes, as if he had come to his senses, but it seemed he hadn’t.

"Hmm?" Chen Fanglan waved her hand in front of him. "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Zhou Qian said "oh" and sat down.

There was fish soup and two fried fish on the table.

When it rains heavily, prevent flooding.

Every household contributed a lot.

Moreover, the river water rose and the river fish poured out.

The adults are busy, but the children are free.

In Hekou Village, almost every household can have a fish meal tonight, but few people care.

Zhou Qian looked at the prepared food, pursed his lips, and then he calmed down and looked up at Chen Fanglan, "Mom, what did He Jing want to say when she told me that she wanted to talk to me about the future?"

In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but he was afraid it was wrong, so he wanted to ask Chen Fanglan.

"What?" Chen Fanglan was stunned for a moment, then she said "oh" and sat down calmly, "When a woman says this to you, there are only two possibilities."

Zhou Qi'an knew, of course, but he thought he might be overthinking it, and couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth again, a little unable to suppress it, "Mom, do you think I should find time to exchange some tickets?"

"Is it still necessary to have three watches and one ring when getting married now?" Zhou Qi'an said, "But watches are hard to buy nowadays. I'm afraid the ones I buy are second-hand."

"Since you are getting married, you should use brand new things." What's the point of using someone else's second-hand things?

Zhou Qi'an became more and more excited as he thought about it. "There are also bicycles. I heard that there are women's bicycles now. So should we buy a 28-inch bicycle or something else?"

Chen Fanglan listened to him talking more and more outrageously, and rolled her eyes at him in annoyance, "How do you know that He Jing wants to talk to you about marriage, not break up with you?"

"..." Zhou Qi'an calmed down instantly, feeling a little helpless and a little angry, "Mom, am I your son?"

"Yes." Chen Fanglan picked up a piece of fish for him with chopsticks and continued, "It is precisely because you are my son that I say this."

"The more you expect, the greater the disappointment." Just as she watched her man go out to fight the flood, she hoped every day and night that he would come back safely.

But actually.

Everyone else is back.

Only he didn't.

He was swept away by the flood.

The body could not be recovered.

Whenever Chen Fanglan thought about it, she wondered if she hadn't let him go back then, would her life be better now?

But if you don't let him go...

Chen Fanglan couldn't imagine any further.

"He Jing and I didn't have any quarrel, why did she want to break up with me?" Zhou Qian'an was a little unhappy. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks, lowered his head to eat, and was unwilling to pick up any food.

Every time this happened, Chen Fanglan knew that her son was angry with her. She sighed angrily and helplessly, but still resigned herself to picking up the meat from him.

"You've been busy all day, so eat a few more bites of meat." Chen Fanglan said, "You also said before that He Jing just came back, and the He family won't let her marry so early."

"If I have to say, it should be to arrange the marriage." Chen Fanglan's guess was correct.

Zhou Qianan became happy again, "Then wait until the flood recedes, I will go and prepare the betrothal gifts."

"Okay, okay, go and get ready." Chen Fanglan didn't want to say anything to him anymore.

But Chen Fanglan was still happy that the marriage between the two families could be clearly confirmed.

If you can get engaged, it means you are not far from getting married.

-

At night, the moon was bright, the stars were sparse, and the wind was a little strong.

At the same time, the air became very hot and stuffy.

It makes people feel that there will be a heavy rain tomorrow morning or even in the middle of the night.

Before going to bed, every household cleaned up the yard, and some people even hung the stored cassava and sweet potatoes high on the beams to prevent them from being soaked if there was a real flood.

Also, all the tied dogs were released to avoid any accidents, as they would be hard to escape if they were tied up.

The two brothers of the He family had to carry flashlights to go to every household to notify and remind them.

The women of the He family are also taking precautions.

He Jing didn't know what to do, so she followed Shi Chunlan's instructions and moved all the firewood to the small attic on the second floor.

This was originally intended to be a room, but it was pitch black, and very short and small, with tiny windows, so there was no light at all and not much ventilation.

It became a storage room.

Moreover, it is often not taken care of and there are many bugs on it.

Normally, no one would come up.

He Jing had always known that there was an attic. After all, it was above the main room, but she had never seen the stairs.

I think you need a ladder to get up there, and it would be really inconvenient if the owner really wanted it.

To carry firewood, one person doesn't really have to carry it up a little at a time. Instead, one person goes up and lets down a rope, and then the people downstairs tie it up and slowly pull it up.

In addition to firewood, rice was also put up.

After finishing all this, the whole family was sweating and had no intention of sleeping at all.

Although the children wanted to stay up late, they were too young and could not hold on and were drowsy.

Liao Hongmei and Xu Zhaodi took the children back to their room to sleep.

He Zhiqiang was worried, so he took a kerosene lamp and went outside to check for missing items.

Shi Chunlan and He Jing stayed in the main room.

"They will all be back soon, so you can go and have some rest too," said Shi Chunlan.

He Jing nodded, "Mom, you too, don't stay up late."

It is even more important to get enough sleep at this time. I am also tired today and need a good rest.

Otherwise, if something really happens, being tired and sleepy won’t help you.

Shi Chunlan has experience, "Don't worry, I know what I am doing."

In this regard, He Jing is indeed ignorant and it depends on how her family arranges things.

The mother and daughter were silent for a while.

He Jing licked her dry lips.

There was not much water available at home. Although there was drinking water, everyone subconsciously restrained themselves and let the children drink first. They would only drink a little to moisten their throats when they were thirsty, and no one dared to drink more.

Shi Chunlan saw it and poured her a glass of water, "Drink it."

"We don't need this little water at home," she said.

He Jing picked it up and took a sip, "Mom, the flood is really coming, should we take refuge in the mountains?"

The terrain on the mountain is high and very convenient.

Shi Chunlan shook her head. "If it were us back then, we would have gone up the mountain, but now there is no need."

"If we really want to withdraw, we have to leave this area."

"We should seek refuge in a nearby area that is not flooded."
