I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Three days later, at Liujiawan Shelter.

"Look, the flood is receding."

"It's true. The flood has receded."

"Oh, the sun is out. Look, everyone, the sun is out."

"Yeah, the sun is out, we can go home."

……

Everyone danced with joy. Li Lan and Zhou Yuntian walked out of the tent, looked at the sun rising in the distance, and smiled at each other. The rain had finally stopped and the sky was clear.

"Lan girl, Lan girl."

Li Lan turned around and saw the well-rested Village Chief Liu, who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and hurried to greet him.

"Grandpa Liu."

"Hey, Lan girl, do you think we should go down the mountain today?"

After hearing his words, Li Lan thought for a moment.

"Grandpa Liu, each household should send some people to pack up first. Once everything is packed up, we can all go down the mountain. Also, Grandpa Liu, find a place to store these tents in case we need them."

When Village Chief Liu heard this, he thought to himself: "Lady Lan is really thoughtful." He nodded quickly and said yes.

"Grandpa Liu, now that you are well again, we will return to Li Village today."

"What? Are you coming back today?"

Seeing his surprised expression, Li Lan smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I haven't been home for a few days, and I miss my family a little. I also asked someone to go back to Lijia Village to inform my family that I'm going back today."

When Village Chief Liu heard her say this, he remembered that she was still a young girl. He quickly responded, "Okay, then you go back. Next time, if I have any problems, I will come to you. You can't just ignore me."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

After saying that, the two of them burst into laughter.

……

Liujiawan at the foot of the mountain.

When everyone went back to pack up, as soon as they entered the village, the Liu family and the Zhang family separated.

The Liu family members saw that apart from being a little wet, there was no major damage to the exterior walls of each house; the roofs did need some thatching, and inside the houses there was some stagnant water and a thick layer of silt left after the flood.

Seeing that the house was much better than they had imagined, they couldn't help but smile.

They all went to see the farmland next to the river. Looking at the rice seedlings that were leaning to one side but still standing stubbornly after being ravaged by the flood, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, smiled at each other, and were glad that they had listened to Li Lan's arrangement.

But the Zhang family's situation was a bit miserable.

The row of houses at the foot of the mountain were all covered with mud, and those closer to the river had most of their outer walls washed away. Seeing this scene, everyone felt very sad. Some of the wives couldn't help crying, and the men's eyes were red.

When they finally reached the farmland near the river, clinging to their last glimmer of hope, they saw the rice fields in ruins, with rice seedlings fallen. They could no longer hold back their tears, shedding tears of regret.

……

On a moving carriage.

"Are you going back to Bozhou Prefecture soon?"

"Well, I'll get off the carriage when we get to the main road. I can't go back to Li Village with you today. I'll come find you after I've dealt with the flooding in the three continents north of the Qin River."

Li Lan listened to his words and smiled, "Don't you need to go back to Beijing? Who allowed you to stay away for so long?"

As he spoke, he pointed upwards.

Looking at her playful movements, Zhou Yuntian couldn't help but reach out and rub the fine hair on her head, and said softly: "Don't you still have me?"

After saying that, the two of them smiled at each other in tacit understanding.

……

The sound of a carriage approached from afar. Standing under the muddy old locust tree at the entrance of the village, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly jumped up excitedly. The short one even ran while shouting, "Sister, sister."

Hearing the shout, Li Lan quickly lifted the carriage curtain and stuck his head out.

"Big brother, little brother."

After a while, the carriage stopped and two people, one short and one tall, walked in one after the other, leaving two pairs of yellow mud footprints in the carriage.

"Sister, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

Li Run sat down next to her, shook her hand and said coquettishly.

"Oh, our little brother has learned to act like a spoiled child."

"sister."

Seeing Li Run's pouting and frowning face, Li Lan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Okay, I miss you guys too."

As he spoke, he reached out and touched the hair of his two younger brothers.

"Grandma, Mom, Dad, where are Fourth Uncle and the others?"

"Fourth uncle couldn't wait for you, so he went back to the county school early this morning. Grandma, Mom and Dad are all waiting for you at home. We're moving directly to the new house today. Grandma said that since we're splitting up, we should act like we're splitting up. They've built a few houses over there anyway, so we can just make do with them for now. But when my uncle heard that we were moving to the new house, he burst into tears and said that I didn't want him anymore."

After hearing what Li Hang said, Li Lan smiled and shook his head.

"Did the uncle get beaten?"

Li Hang was about to speak when he was interrupted by Li Run who was standing beside him and spoke vividly.

"Sister, you can guess this. Grandma was fine at first, she just sighed. But when she looked outside the yard and saw a lot of old women and wives standing there watching the excitement, and saw that my uncle was crying, and the crying was getting louder and louder, she got so angry that she picked up the broom in the yard and hit my uncle. While beating him, she scolded him: You are such a troublesome thing, you are such a grown man, and you are still crying here, do you have any shame? I just moved to a new place, I didn't run away with anyone."

When Li Lan heard this, she burst into laughter. The two of them looked at her and laughed too.

After a while, the carriage entered the village. Today everyone was busy cleaning the houses and rice fields, and did not notice the carriage entering the village.

As soon as the carriage stopped at the new house, Li Chunping and others who were cleaning ran out.

"You silly girl, you're so brave! You even ran off to Liujiawan. What? This house can't accommodate you anymore?"

As he said this, he patted Li Lan's arm hard.

"Hiss, mother, be gentle, be gentle."

As she took the photos, Zhang's eyes became red.

"Mom, didn't I come back safely?" She said softly, looking at Zhang with red eyes.

Zhang hugged her tightly and choked up, saying, "It's all because of your parents' uselessness that you, a girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age, have to run around outside all day."

The people standing outside all had tears in their eyes after hearing what Zhang said. Li Hang clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind: I must grow up quickly so that I can help my sister.

"Well, the eldest girl is capable, and she is doing good things for the people. This is all due to the merits she has accumulated. Our eldest girl will be blessed with great fortune in the future."

Mrs. Wang choked with sobs.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, and Grandma are right. Although my work is hard, it is all for the good of the people. Seeing that everyone is safe and sound during this flood, I am very happy."

Zhang let her go, wiped the tears from her face, sighed, and choked up again, "But my daughter hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet. Mother only wishes you could live a peaceful life."

"Okay, Sumei. My daughter also has her own path to follow."

As he spoke, Li Chunping stepped forward and held Zhang's shoulders, speaking softly.

"Okay, let's go inside and talk." Mrs. Wang asked everyone to go inside, and when they saw Zhou Liu standing next to the carriage.

"Who is this?"

"Grandma, this is Brother Zhou Liu. He's really good and knows martial arts."

Li Run introduced with excitement on his face.

"Madam, Master, Madam." Zhou Liu bent down and saluted.

When they heard his name, they were all shocked.

At this time, Li Lan coughed lightly and said, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, let's go inside first and talk later."

A few people nodded blankly and walked in.

Zhou Liu looked at their departing backs with envy, thinking to himself: It turns out my wife has this side of her. It’s great to have a family.

"It's Saturday. What are you doing? Come in quickly."

Hearing Li Lan's call, his eyes lit up and he said happily, "Here you are, Madam."
