Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After working hard all night last night, neither family member could get up today.

When Zheng Yuan woke up, it was probably almost eleven o'clock.

If she wasn't hungry, she would have been able to sleep for a while. Sanni was still sleeping soundly, and Zheng Yuan didn't wake her up.

It's rare for the child to sleep in.

I opened the door and went out. The yard was quiet. The children had not yet gotten up. The only sound was the rain falling down the eaves and hitting the puddles in the yard.

The rain hasn't stopped yet, but it's getting lighter.

Looking at the foggy mountains in the distance, Zheng Yuan stretched lazily and took a deep breath.

It was so refreshing, and this breath expelled a lot of the foul air in my body. It is indeed the pure natural and pollution-free ancient air, which beats all the high-priced natural oxygen bars in modern times.

Zheng Yuan stretched lazily and went to the kitchen, ready to wash up and start cooking, but he didn't notice that his foot stepped into the water.

Looking at the water in the room, Zheng Yuan's brain was completely shut down. Didn't they check the kitchen yesterday and find no major leaks? Besides, the rain had stopped when they went to bed, so why was there so much water in the room?

Fortunately, I got up last night and moved all the things from the ground onto the stove and the table, otherwise I would have suffered a heavy loss today.

Zheng Yuan took off his shoes and waded into the kitchen to see where the water in the room came from.

I raised my head and took a careful look at the roof and there were no new leaks. There were water-filled devices underneath the leaks yesterday.

Where does this water come from?

When I walked to the water tank, I suddenly heard a gurgling sound. I lowered my head and saw that the water seemed to be pouring back from the sewer.

Zheng Yuan squatted down and touched it twice, and a lot of water gurgled in. Sure enough, the water really came from this hole.

It was easy to deal with the problem after knowing the reason. Zheng Yuan walked out of the kitchen barefoot, picked up a hoe from under the eaves, and planned to go to the backyard to clear the hole first.

It seems that it rained too heavily last night, and the leaves and branches were washed to the entrance of the cave, blocking it, so the water was flowing back in.

When I got to the backyard, I saw that there was a bunch of leaves and sticks blocking the outlet, forming a puddle. No wonder the water was flowing back.

Zheng Yuan picked up a hoe and dug out all the things blocking the side, and then cleared the ditch to prevent it from getting blocked again when it rained later.

After this blockage was cleared, the water in the kitchen flowed out.

Returning to the front yard, Zheng Yuan took out his things and washed up first. It would probably take some time for all the water to flow out.

She was squatting under the eaves washing up when Xu Huiniang came out and greeted her: "Mom, were you able to sleep in your room last night? Was the rain still pouring heavily?"

"There's nothing wrong in the house, but the kitchen is flooded." Zheng Yuan took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth and replied.

"The kitchen was flooded?" Xu Hui Niang was very surprised. Nothing happened last night.

"It rained so hard last night that leaves and sticks washed in and blocked the drain, so the water flowed back in. I've already dug out the hole, and it should be fine after a quick sweep."

After hearing this, Xu Hui Niang hurried over to the kitchen door and took a look. As expected, she saw water all over the floor. A lot of water had already flowed out through the hole, but looking at the watermarks on the wall, it was not difficult to imagine what had happened in the room just now.

Seeing that Zheng Yuan was done, Xu Hui Niang took out her own toothbrush, squatted beside Zheng Yuan and started washing.

Zheng Yuan was very pleased. You see, this is how habits are formed.

After they washed up, the water in the kitchen had almost drained away, and the remaining water was in the potholes. This was not a big deal, just sweep it with a broom and shovel.

The kitchen floor was not as muddy as Zheng Yuan had imagined. Maybe it was because of the people coming and going, and the floor was patinated. Now that all the water was cleared, most of the floor was fine except that it was a little slippery, and it had not turned into mud.

But this muddy ground is not very convenient. If you are not careful, you will fall flat on your face.

Zheng Yuan walked on it carefully, thinking about what materials to get to renovate the floor of the house.

It had been raining for so long that the firewood on the pile had long been soaked, and the firewood placed in the kitchen last night was also flooded. The two of them searched and picked up the firewood from the bottom and finally found a few usable firewood. It took them a long time to light the fire, and they also picked up a lot of firewood and roasted it next to the stove hole.

After the rice was cooked, Zheng Yuan was a little worried when he saw that Duan Minmin and the others had not come yet. He wondered if they were buried. He thought that since it would not rain heavily, he could go and see Duan Minmin and the others.

Before I even left the kitchen, I heard Duan Minmin's voice: "Yuanbao, are you burning the kitchen?!"

Duan Minmin came in with three girls, and they were crying because of the smoke. The firewood was wet and the smoke was really big.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she almost slipped, luckily Zheng Yuan helped her up.

"You scared me. Yuanbao, what happened?" Duan Minmin covered her chest and looked at the wet ground in shock.

Zheng Yuan told them what happened to his family last night, and also told them that the kitchen was flooded this morning and all the firewood was wet. He also asked them how things were going over there.

Upon learning that the water leakage in their house was not as serious as this one, Zheng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief but also laughed at himself. He actually looked down on that small shabby house and was worried that it would be washed away. He didn't expect that the clown was himself and his own house was in danger.

It's still too dilapidated. I must build a sturdier one when I make money. Otherwise, this old and dilapidated house will be scared when it rains heavily, and it will not be easy to live in the winter.

A long way to go!

The firewood was damp and the fire could never get big. I took until noon to prepare breakfast this morning.

After dinner, Zheng Yuan immediately ordered Dashu and Erhe to bring in enough firewood and stack it next to the stove. The fire in the stove was not extinguished, so they kept roasting the fire. Otherwise, they would have to endure the smoke and fire when cooking in the afternoon.

The rain stopped for a while while we were eating, but after we finished eating it started to drizzle again.

It seems that I can't go to the fields today. If there was fertilizer, it would be a good day for fertilizing.

Never mind, just take a day off.

It was a good day for the children to make new clothes and purses, and they also had to find some thatch to reinforce the roofs of the other two houses. Otherwise, if it rained heavily again, they didn't want to experience what they felt last night again.

Zheng Yuan brought two pots of charcoal fire and placed them in the main room, and asked several girls to make clothes by the fire in this room. They took the boys out to see which family had extra thatch to buy some to repair the roof.

"Mom, wait a minute, I haven't measured you yet."

After hearing this, the two of them called a few boys over, and they stood still and let the children use the ropes to manipulate her body.

After measuring, several people were about to go out. Before leaving, he was worried and turned around to remind them not to close the door completely because it was cold.

This carbon monoxide poisoning is no joke.

A few people went out and walked towards the home of Carpenter Li in the village. It seemed to them that this carpenter not only knew how to do some carpentry work, but also could cut some thatch from the mountain and weave it into thatched roofs to sell to people in the village who were too busy to go up the mountain to cut thatch.

But most of the villagers are frugal and reluctant to spend these few cents, so his thatched roof business is not very good.

Carpenter Li needed a large space to do his carpentry work, so his family lived far away at the end of the village. They walked breathlessly in the muddy fields before they finally arrived at Carpenter Li's door.

Carpenter Li was weaving a bamboo basket under the eaves, holding a pipe in his mouth and bamboo.
