At a glance, he saw Mrs. Tan standing at the back of the main room with a crutch, leaning forward and shouting this way.

"Milk, what's going on?"

Yang Ruoqing asked over there.

Tan was blind, so when she heard the voice was Yang Ruoqing, she asked again: "Where is your mother? Why are you shouting so many times?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "At this time, my mother and the others must have gone to deliver food. She won't be able to respond if you yell at her."

Mrs. Tan suddenly realized and stood there muttering.

Yang Ruoqing had no interest in paying attention, and turned around to go back to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks she had just eaten from.

Tan's shout came again from behind.

"Fat Ya, wait a moment!"

"What's the matter, grandma?"

"Well, it's the same thing if your mother isn't at home looking for you," Ms. Tan said.

"Bring two loofah strips over here. Your sister-in-law is drinking chicken soup. I'm afraid she'll get tired of it, so I have to change her taste." Mrs. Tan said.

Hearing this, Yang Ruoqing smiled.

"Hey, there are floods right now, and vegetables are in short supply!" Yang Ruoqing said.

"What nonsense? There are a lot of vegetables growing in your backyard, and you are bullying me into not seeing them? I feel so happy!" Mrs. Tan said angrily.

Yang Ruoqing said: "I grow some vegetables in my backyard, but those vegetables are needed to feed dozens of people in this family."

"The men who dig the canals can only eat one vegetable meal a day. My mother and my fifth aunt almost eat pickles with their meals. Vegetables are in short supply!"

"Besides, after I became pregnant, my mother would send you some vegetables every day. If you finish them so quickly, there's nothing I can do about it."

Hearing Yang Ruoqing chatter a lot, Mrs. Tan became displeased.

"Vegetables are not valuable, and they are not big fish or meat. I'll just let you split two loofah strips. How can there be so much nonsense!" said Tan.

Yang Ruoqing said: "Not to mention, fish and shrimps are everywhere now, the streets are in ruins."

"My mother sent the ingredients for my sister-in-law's stove today early in the morning."

"I really have to wait until tomorrow if I want loofah strips, please go back!"

Yang Ruoqing ducked back to the kitchen.

Mrs. Tan muttered a few more words outside, but had no choice but to return empty-handed.

…

Yang Ruoqing saw Tan left and shook her head.

At this moment, vegetables are really more valuable than the shortage of fish and meat. If you want to complain, let her complain.

She quickly finished washing the dishes, guessing that Mrs. Sun and the others would be back soon, she went to the front yard to wait.

On the road outside the hospital, there were indeed sounds of chaotic footsteps and the voices of men and women talking.

Yang Ruoqing was surprised and quickly walked out of the yard.

At a glance, he saw on the road that Mrs. Sun and others were back.

Not only the women who delivered the meals came back, but also the men who dug the canals.

At this time, shouldn’t it be?

Yang Ruoqing walked over quickly, but did not see Mu Zichuan or Luo Fengtang in the crowd, so she came to Sun's side.

"Mom, why are all the uncles and uncles who dug the canals back?" she asked Sun in a low voice.

Because I saw everyone walking there, whispering to each other.

Everyone looked solemn, as if something had happened.

When Yang Ruoqing asked, Sun said in a low voice: "We'll talk about it when we get home."

…

Quickly returning home and going to the backyard kitchen, Mrs. Sun told Yang Ruoqing something, which even surprised Yang Ruoqing.

"Mom, are you saying that when we were digging the canal in the morning, we dug something in a certain place?" she asked again.

Sun nodded.

Yang Ruoqing said: "What did you dig up?"

Sun shook his head.

"I don't know either. Your father dug up that thing."

"After digging it, your father didn't dare to say anything. He just told Tang Yazi, Mu Zichuan and your Uncle Li Zheng."

"Brother Zichuan immediately ordered that the area be blocked off so that no one can go and see it."

"Your uncle, Mr. Zheng, has sent us all to come home and have a rest. Let them discuss it before making a decision."

Hearing Sun's words, this aroused Yang Ruoqing's curiosity even more.

What on earth did they dig up that forced them to stop work on the Heat?

"So, my father and Tang Yazi didn't come back, so they stayed there to deal with the matter?" Yang Ruoqing asked next.

Mrs. Sun nodded: "Your father didn't even tell me. He told us not to make any noise when we came."

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. If you don't talk about it, someone will naturally do it. Sooner or later, you won't be able to hide it." Yang Ruoqing said.

Mrs. Sun frowned and sighed, feeling uneasy in her heart.

Yang Ruoqing thought about it for a while and said to Mrs. Sun: "Mom, just take care of this part of the house. We will naturally handle other matters."

"I'm going to go to the canal to see what's going on!"

After saying these words, Yang Ruoqing turned around and ran out of the kitchen quickly, heading towards the river.

After many days of hard digging, the canal has been dug far away.

The fortification work is equivalent to half done, and it extends from Changping Village as far as the canals and small ponds have been dug.

The water levels in the villages and fields along the way have obvious receding momentum.

If we stop working at this time, we really can’t afford to be hurt!

Yang Ruoqing hurriedly hurriedly arrived at the river bank and found Luo Fengtang and Muzichuan.

All of their faces looked ugly.

"What happened? What was dug up?"

Yang Ruoqing walked over quickly and asked loudly.

When everyone heard the sound, they realized that Yang Ruoqing was coming.

Yang Huazhong and Li Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if they had found the backbone.

Luo Fengtang quickly came to Yang Ruoqing and said in surprise: "Qing'er, why are you here?"

Yang Ruoqing said: "I saw that the folks who were returning looked strange, and I was worried. I must come and take a look!"

"Tangyazi, what did you dig up?" she asked repeatedly.

Luo Fengtang frowned: "A... not very good thing."

"ah?"

"Here, I'll show you!"

Luo Fengtang took Yang Ruoqing's hand and quickly came to the river bank.

He moved the things blocking the canal and opened an opening for Yang Ruoqing to enter. He and Muzichuan also followed.

Yang Huazhong and the others stood aside and watched nervously.

After Yang Ruoqing entered the opening, she was already standing by the river channel.

The soil he stepped on was dug out of the river channel, which was soft and loose.

People with poor balance would probably fall early if they stepped on such a pile of dirt.

But she was not an ordinary person, she had good balance, but even so, Luo Fengtang and Mu Zichuan, who were following behind, couldn't help but reach out to her at the same time.

I want to give her a hand.

Both people stretched out their hands at the same time.

Luo Fengtang glanced at Mu Zichuan beside him.

Mu Zichuan was startled for a moment, then withdrew his hand in embarrassment and dropped it by his side.

Luo Fengtang gently held Yang Ruoqing's arm, and stood with her naturally and generously, looking at the river channel in front of her.
