Farming and reading family

Chen Fancai had a black account with Zheng Fengan.

Zheng Fengan would not take the initiative to cause trouble for Chen Fancai, but if Chen Fancai fell into his hands, he would definitely take drastic measures.

Chen Ke looked helpless: "I went to Yutouba today and looked at the sky again. I always feel very uneasy."

Zheng Fengan didn't care much: "The Yutou Dam was built by our ancestors, so there will definitely be no problem."

"It's better to be safe than sorry." Chen Ke said solemnly, "We all know the legend of Yutouba. Besides, the weather this year is a bit unusual. In previous years, there have never been so many fish in Wangba River."

Zheng Fengan thought about it and realized, "You are worried..."

"I'm worried that if it rains again, Yutou Dam might burst." Chen Ke expressed his concerns directly.

Zheng Fengan did not respond to Chen Ke's words. The bursting of Yutou Dam would be a big deal. By then, not only the villages and towns outside He County, but even He County would be surrounded by water.

"I should have told my uncle about this and asked him to report to Lord Fu and send someone down to take a closer look. If there really is any problem, the people can be evacuated in time. But..." Chen Ke was in a dilemma.

Zheng Fengan's expression was extremely solemn. He thought for a long time before asking seriously, "You are a scholar, did you see anything?"

Chen Ke didn't expect the village head to ask this question. He didn't know how to answer for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, he nodded slightly: "It's just that I'm not good at it."

Zheng Fengan didn't ask any more questions after hearing what Chen Ke said: "Don't worry, I'll talk to Chen Fancai about this."

"Okay." Chen Ke saluted.

After seeing Chen Ke off, Zheng Fengan stood under the eaves and thought for a long time. It had to be said that this day was indeed a little unusual.

But the collapse of Yutou Dam is still too unbelievable.

After much deliberation, Zheng Fengan went out with his hands behind his back.

The sky was still gloomy, and the people he met on the road were all walking in a hurry. Zheng Fengan walked all the way to Chen Fancai's house with his head down.

The person who opened the door was Chen Baolai, who rolled his eyes when he saw the village head.

"Hey, the village head is here!" Chen Baolai shouted exaggeratedly at the top of his voice. "Our roof is too low to accommodate the village head."

Zheng Fengan saw Chen Baolai looking disgusted and thought, they both have the surname Chen, so how could there be such a big difference?

"Where is your father?" Zheng Fengan was the elder, so it was not appropriate for him to argue with Chen Baolai.

"Dad, I'm looking for you." Chen Baolai turned around and left without letting the village head in.

Chen Fancai had already heard the voice and came out from the side room with a bulging belly: "Rare guest, rare guest."

Zheng Fengan didn't care about Chen Fancai's hypocritical appearance. He was the one who came to see Chen Fancai about something. "The rain this year is unusual. Go patrol Yutou Dam a few more times. If that doesn't work, ask someone from the county government to come and take a look."

"Oh." Chen Fancai laughed. "I was assigned this job by the county magistrate. Does the village head want to be the county magistrate's boss?" Chen Fancai sneered.

Zheng Fengan looked at Chen Fancai's smug look and said, "Since this is your job, I'm just giving you a reminder." Then he left.

"Goodbye, I won't see you off." Chen Fan shouted at the top of his voice.

Watching the headman leave, Chen Fancai was filled with disdain. How could something happen at Yutouba?

If something really happens, they're all finished, and there's nothing to report.

Chen Ke went home and sat in front of the cave, scraping the mud off the soles of his shoes. "Has your sister-in-law gone home?"

"Yeah." Gao E responded, "Now that they live in the city, I don't know what will happen."

"As long as we have food and drink, nothing will happen." Chen Ke said casually.

Gao E felt relieved when she heard Chen Ke say this.

Chen Ke didn't think there was anything wrong with this: "How long will the firewood at home last?"

"About half a month." Gao E knew why Chen Ke asked this.

Chen Ke thought about it and nodded.

The rain stopped for a day and started again after dinner.

Chen Ke wondered if he should use this as an excuse to bring his parents up here as well.

Now these three cave dwellings are enough for men and women to live separately in the family.

But there are too many things in their house. If my parents find out in advance, there will probably be another argument.

Thinking of this, he looked at Gao E. He knew that Gao E was not wrong now and would not give in.

Gao E saw that Chen Ke was so worried, so she didn't ask. It was normal for a reborn person facing a great disaster to think too much.

Just like she is a time traveler, once she is sure of her safety, she will not be willing to live like this and will definitely want to live a better life.

"I have something to discuss with you." Gao E suddenly said.

"what?"

"I may be giving birth in the next few days, and I want my third brother's wife to come and live with me. I will feel at ease having a reliable person around me." Gao E wanted Lei to come up as soon as possible.

"Okay." Chen Ke was also thinking about this. "How about letting Mom come up too?"

"Okay." Gao E didn't refuse. "Then go back and discuss it with mother."

Chen Ke laughed.

It didn't rain heavily at night, and there was not much water on the road in the morning.

After breakfast, Chen Ke went out to his hometown. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his eldest brother and third brother weaving straw.

"Second brother is back. Have you had breakfast?" Jiang was so happy to see the second brother.

Ever since she knew that the second son wanted to buy back the old house for them to live in, Jiang was as happy as if they had already moved in.

"I've eaten." Chen Ke responded and went to greet his father first, then sat down with his eldest brother and third brother. "Why did you suddenly make up this?"

"The house leaked again last night." Chen Jie said irritably, "Dad said to cover it with straw first and then fix it when the weather clears up."

Chen Ke turned his head and looked at the main hall: "Where is the house where my parents live?"

"Fortunately, there is no leakage facing the bed." Chen Qing assured him.

Chen Ke thought for a moment and stood up to look for his mother: "Mom, Gao E is about to give birth, and I want you and my third brother's wife to go up there early."

Chen Jie became excited when he heard this. If his wife went up, could he also find an excuse to go up?

Now that they have all gone up, can they bring the children with them?

On a rainy day like this, it is so pleasant to sit in the cave at my second brother's house, roasting chestnuts and eating dried shrimps around the fire.

"It's not her first time giving birth." Jiang raised her voice unconsciously. "What woman doesn't give birth? Once she gives birth, the whole family has to revolve around her."

Jiang paused here and said, "No, your father's injury hasn't healed yet. I have to stay at home to take care of him."

Chen Ke felt helpless seeing his mother like this.

"I'll go, I'll go, I'll go." Lei ran out of the house in a hurry.

"What are you going to do? Don't you need to feed the chickens at home and clean the pigpen? You think about running to other people's houses every day." Jiang scolded.

"That's my second brother's home, how can it be someone else's?" Lei disagreed. "Before, my second sister-in-law had someone to take care of her, so it was fine for our family not to go. But now my second sister-in-law has four children and wants to give birth. It's unreasonable for our family to not care."

When Jiang heard this, she curled her lips but said nothing.

Lei's face instantly lit up with smiles: "I told my second sister-in-law that it was mother who asked me to go. She must have remembered mother's kindness."

"It's her fault for reading my name." Jiang said this, but there was a hint of pride in her eyes.
