Chapter 237： , Flood

Chapter 237, Flood

Watching Yan Zhigao leave in a hurry, everyone in the Yan family also had no intention of eating.

After Daohua went back to her yard, she plunged into the study, rummaged for a while, and found a map of Jiguang Province. After reading the map, she raised her eyebrows and said: "The Grand Canal also flows into the economy. Now, how many people have been affected by the disaster?"

Wang Man'er, Gu Yu, and Li Xia also looked worried: "Girl, will the bursting of the embankment in Jiguang Province affect us?"

Taohua was silent for a while: "Jiguang Province is in the upper part of Zhongzhou Province, and the upstream bank bursts, and the downstream will still have some impact. However, it is a little far away from us, so don't worry too much."

Wang Man'er condensed his eyebrows and said, "Okay, why did you break the embankment?"

Gu Yu chuckled and said, “Why? Not every official is as diligent and loving as our master. It must be the officials of Jiguang Province who have taken the money for the construction of the river embankment to embezzle.”

Daohua glanced at Gu Yu: "It's fine to talk about such things in the yard. After you go out, you can't talk nonsense."

Gu Yu immediately lowered her head: "Girl, I see."

Daohua didn't say anything more. She warned Gu Yu. First, she didn't want her to cause trouble without her words. Second, judging from the various experiences experienced by the cheap father when he took over Xingzhou before, even if some officials wanted to do something practical, The silver was impounded and owed, and they were powerless.

Can't kill everyone with one shot.

A few days later, Yan Zhigao was very busy, leaving early and returning late at night, with almost no people in sight.

"Mother, what has father been up to these days?"

One day, Daohua came to the main courtyard early in the morning to greet her, and found that the cheap father had already gone to the office, so she couldn’t help asking Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li: "Busy to reinforce the embankment."

Daohua narrowed her eyebrows: "Isn't it said that the riverbanks in my father's jurisdiction are very stable?"

Ms. Li's face was solemn: "Your father is not at ease. He is worried that when the flood peak comes, the river embankment will not be able to support it. These days, they have been strengthening overnight."

said, sighed.

"Your father has received the news that several places on the upper reaches of the Grand Canal have burst dykes. The disaster is very serious. This year's floods have come so violently and quickly, and your father has to work hard."

Daohua looked worried: "So serious?"

Mrs. Li nodded heavily: "Which time the Grand Canal burst is not serious? Well, you are not worried about these things. After breakfast, go to class."

Ina Hua nodded, without saying more.

In the afternoon, when Daohua was finishing the incense tools, she saw Wang Man'er walking quickly and said to her: "Girl, the uncle sent a letter back, but after reading the letter, the lady sent it. It's a big hit."

Ina Hua suddenly looked surprised.

Her mother’s temperament can be said to be very mild, she has almost never got angry at all, and can make her angry. What big thing did her elder brother do?

Daohua quickly packed up the things, handed them to Lixia, and then hurriedly walked towards the main courtyard.

Half way, I met Pingtong.

"Big girl, are you going to see the madam? Madam is not in the main yard now, but in the old lady’s yard."

Hearing this, Daohua quickly changed direction and walked quickly towards the old lady’s yard.

After a while, Daohua came to Songheyuan. As soon as she stepped into the old lady's house, she noticed that the old lady and her mother didn't look good.

"Grandma, mother, what's the matter? Big brother, what did he do to annoy both of you?"

The old lady Yan glanced at her granddaughter, and clicked on the letter on the table with her chin: "Read it for yourself."

Daohua hurried forward, opened the letter and quickly read it. Seeing the back, she understood why her mother and grandmother were so angry.

"Big Brother, they are going to Jiguang to provide disaster relief. This is also a rare experience."

Before the words of Daohua were finished, she was interrupted by Mrs. Yan: “Experience, what kind of experience, family members don’t want to prevent your brothers from going out for experience, but they choose a good place.”

"Last time, I went to Fenxi, where some banditry is serious, but this time, I went directly to the place where the flood occurred. They think their lives are too big, right? They go where they are dangerous?"

Seeing the old lady was really angry, and Daohua didn't dare to speak for the three elder brothers anymore.

The old lady Yan craned her neck and looked out the door, and said dissatisfied: "Why hasn't the boss come back?"

Ms. Li explained: “The master should have something in his hand, and he should be back soon.”

As soon as the voice fell, Yan Zhigao walked in.

The old lady Yan pointed to Daohua: "Go, show your father the letter written by your elder brother."

Inaba quickly passed the letter.

Yan Zhigao took the letter, and after reading it, he wrinkled his brows and was silent for a while before looking at the old lady and Mrs. Li: "It's rare that Wenxiu and the others have this mindset. If they want to go, let them go. "

The old lady Yan suddenly became angry: "What are you talking about, the flood is ruthless. When it rushes over, it will be deadly."

Yan Zhigao sighed: "Mother, I know all of this, but aren't Wenxiu who followed the little prince? There must be a lot of guards around the little prince, and safety is still guaranteed."

"Furthermore, this is also a rare experience. After the birth of a few children, although our family may not be rich, but they are not worried about food and clothing, so that these children do not know the taste of sorrow at all. Let them see the suffering in this world."

The old lady Yan is still a little unwilling: "It's too dangerous."

Yan Zhigao patiently said: "Mother, children always have to grow up. Wenxiu is the son of Yan's parents. In the future, Wen Kai and Wen Tao are also male children. The growth of male children cannot be affected by wind and rain. Don't take it?"

The old lady Yan was silent, and finally looked at Mrs. Li: "What do you say?"

Although Mrs. Li was full of unwillingness, she also knew that boys should take advantage of their youth to walk more and take a look. They have experienced a lot before they can resist the responsibility on their shoulders, so she whispered: "I listen to the master."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan sighed: “It’s nothing, you parents don’t worry about it. My old lady is still doing so much, so let’s go with you. However, with Zhiqiang and Wu, you have to do it yourself. Let’s talk about it in the past."

Mrs. Li immediately stood up: "Mother, don't worry, I'll talk to my third brother and sister."

The old lady Yan waved her hand to let them leave.

After people left, Daohua sat next to the old lady, cuddled with her, and smiled: "Grandma, don't you worry too much, you know third brother, water is one of the best in Yanjiacun, I will swim or swim What he taught."

Old Mrs. Yan said in an unpleasant voice: "You dare to mention this. You are a girl, and learned how to swim in the river with a boy and baby. Your third brother did not say to stop you, but he was still an accomplice. Last time I really beat him. It's getting lighter."

Inahua shook the old lady's arm: "Oh, grandmother, knowing swimming is also a survival skill. Think about it, if I fall into a river, would I have a chance to survive than someone who can't swim." Ah?"

The old lady snorted: "I am too lazy to talk to you."

Seeing that the anger on the old lady's face disappeared, Daohua smiled, and then called out: "Oh, grandmother, I have to prepare some common medicine for the three brothers, but don't get sick. Come and accompany you later. You have dinner!"

Looking at the granddaughter who ran away, the old lady Yan shook her head helplessly: "Fortunately, she is a girl, otherwise, it would be more tossing than her three brothers."
