Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

After dinner, Old Lady Feng and Feng Xi took the three little ones to wash up, while the others worked on reinforcing the house.

Lan Qiyan climbed up to the roof and took a look. The people who were busy reinforcing the house yesterday had all gone to bed early today, and only their family was still busy.

Lan Qiyan doesn’t understand Dahai, but his elder brother must understand him. He takes this matter so seriously, which means that Dahai must be very powerful.

It is said that water and fire are merciless. If so much sea water gets angry, their lives will be in danger.

Feng Fengchun, who was standing nearby, heard the ding-dang-dang and bang-bang sounds and they also climbed up to the roof.

"Brother Nian, why are you in such a hurry? You've been tired all day. Can you please go to sleep?"

Feng Nian didn't even raise his head, "You kid, you were more active than me in previous years, why are you so lazy this year?"

“Brother Nian, you didn’t follow the big ship, so you didn’t go far. The sea level this year is very calm, without any waves.

And if you feel it, the air humidity is just right, and the sea breeze is gentle, there will definitely not be any major disasters this year, so you can rest assured."

"No, I feel uneasy. If I don't reinforce the house today, I won't be able to sleep."

"But I can't sleep while you reinforce the house." Fengchun said sadly.

He was also very happy to see that his little sister was amused.

Others didn't know, but how could he not know? Xiaomei and Niange had no blood relationship at all, but he couldn't say it out loud. Once he did, the villagers in the entire fishing village would not accept this outsider.

But he liked his younger sister, and he didn't know whether she could give birth to a child. The rumor that she was divorced by her husband's family because she couldn't give birth to a child was just an excuse.

But his mother believed it, which made him very upset.

If he told her secret, she would be driven away. If he didn't, they belonged to the same clan, but they were not of the fifth richest clan, so they could not be married.

But he was not a pretentious person, and he was not young anymore. His mother asked a matchmaker to find him a wife who was fertile. His sisters went to their husband's houses every year, and some of them even gave birth to twins.

So they asked for twenty-five taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and my mother was very happy, and decided to get married during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It will be almost time, less than a month left. Please take better care of your younger sister in the future, they are not destined to be together.

When Fengchun finished her fantasy, she jumped from the roof into Fengnian's yard.

Feng Nian cried out, "How old are you? You're getting married soon. What if you fall?"

Feng Chun waved his hands and said, "I'm fine. I was fine even when I jumped off the boat. I'm used to it."

"Be careful." Feng Nian saw that he didn't listen, so he stopped talking.

With Fengchun's help, the task that was originally planned to be completed all night was completed in the first half of the night.

So Fengnian’s plan to take a rest tomorrow and not go out to sea was ruined, and he will go out to sea again tomorrow morning.

The next morning, Lan Qiyan sat on the boat with dark circles under his eyes.

Fengnian threw a fish and a turtle at times.

"I'm so lucky today. Little sister, you're really my lucky cat. I don't have to do anything. I just scatter fish food and the fish come floating over without any resistance."

Hearing this, Lan Qiyan suddenly woke up, "What do you mean?"

Feng Nian pointed to the sea and said, "Little sister, the fish food you researched is really the best in the world. The fish really like it."

Lan Qiyan shook his head, "Brother, I didn't put any fish food in."

"Haha, you didn't put any fish food in." Feng Nian's two hands were not enough, so he fished while chatting.

After he finished speaking, the air was silent for a few seconds. Feng Nian was a little uncertain, "You didn't put any fish food in?"

"No."

"So what are you doing in the boat?"

"Go to sleep. It was already early in the morning when I went to sleep last night. You called me after I had only slept for two hours. I went to sleep as soon as I got on the boat."

Fengnian cried out in alarm and quickly threw all the fish into the sea.

But those fish and turtles were quite rebellious today, and they didn't want to go back.

Lan Qiyan sighed, "Brother, they seem to have their own ideas."

Feng Nian yelled, "Little sister, you throw the fish and turtle in, and I'll row the boat. This way we can go faster."

Lan Qiyan was frightened by his serious look, "Brother, are these fish poisoned?"

Feng Nian shook his head, “Sometimes peace and tranquility is not a good thing.

Let’s go home first. These fish and turtles are in the water, and they can sense the danger long before we do.

We can only go home now, and the hand-rolled noodles are temporarily closed today."

Except for Fengnian, who walked back without wanting anything else, the others, seeing so many fish on the sea, couldn't wait to cast their fishing nets, believing that today would be a big harvest.

Feng Qi was a little surprised to see the two returning empty-handed. This was not right. It was normal for his father not to catch any fish, but it would be quite abnormal if his aunt did not catch any fish.

Before he could ask, Feng Nian had already told him what they had seen.

Old Mrs. Feng put down the crab in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron, then stood up and walked out.

At this point, with the sky blue, the sea quiet as a chicken, and a gentle breeze caressing your face, it wasn’t a big deal.

"Fengnian, my son, you said that the fish and the turtle jumped onto your boat."

Feng Nian nodded repeatedly, "Mom, that's right. You can see there's nothing on the sea surface now, but the surface is full of fish and sea turtles."

"No, this is totally wrong. It's August now. In previous years, tsunamis came in early July, but this year, none have come yet.

In the year of Feng, we packed up our things at home. Everyone took a backpack, one bag for each adult and one for each child.

We need to make every possible preparation. Does the village chief know about this?"

"I didn't say that, he should know."

"Fengnian, run over and tell him, then return immediately. Also, bring Yongen's boat back with you when you come back. Give us a shout later and we'll help you push the boat over.

Qiyan, you have never seen such a grand scene, just follow us later."

Lan Qiyan nodded hurriedly, "Mom, will the house be flooded?"

"It hasn't been flooded in the past few decades. It's always half flooded. But it was flooded when I was a kid, but that was 40 years ago."

Lan Qiyan was startled. Is this the calm before the storm?

Looking at the scorching sun, Lan Qiyan looked up and felt the scorching temperature.

"Auntie, stop drying it and pack your clothes quickly, or you'll be holding onto someone else later."

"Hey, why does this kid only recognize me? Wait, you all know how to swim, right?"

"Yes, auntie, can you?"

"meeting."

"Is it swimming fast?"

"I don't know. The speed of dog paddling shouldn't be very fast."

Feng Xi's face was full of black lines, "Aunt, the water is coming back, you have to dig faster."

"Okay, okay, I get it."

On the other hand, Feng Nian's words caught Feng Tianba's attention. He said that he would send people to patrol so that Feng Nian could return home safely.

As soon as Feng Nian left, Feng Tianba started asking his family to pack up. They were going to the county town, which was on higher ground and safer.
