Chapter 119 I thought you were washed away by the flood
After crying for a while, Lin Qiuhong hurriedly thanked the people in the team.
"Thank you for your hard work, fellow villagers. You have helped me send my third nephew's wife back. When the third brother comes back, I will definitely ask him to come to thank you in person."
The villagers naturally said politely: "No, no, we are all from the same hometown, this is what we should do."
What remained were the Lin family’s affairs, and everyone left tactfully.
Yu Qingtang was at the end. She turned around and saw Lin Qiuhong kicking Cao Chunhua's door.

Heavy rain fell for seven days in a row, and the floodwaters in the river washed away the bridges.
Everyone has been idle at home in recent days, and Dong Yue, who has been busy all the time, finally has some free time.
She washed up on the porch and watered the vegetable garden.
"There has been enough rain this year. After this rain, more mushrooms will sprout in the mountains. When the rain stops, I will take a day to go up the mountain and pick some mushrooms."
She saw that Yu Qingtang would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms every Sunday, dry them and send them back home, so she also wanted to pick more mushrooms as a thank you.
Picking mushrooms is an addictive thing. You search all over the mountains and plains, pry out the smooth and tender mushrooms from the moist soil, wipe them clean with leaves, and gently put them into a basket. When you get home, you just need to rinse them with water and put them in the pot.
Yu Qingtang is fascinated by this activity.
"Let's go together then. Anyway, the bridge has collapsed and I can't go to work in town for the time being."
She had a good plan, but the weather did not go as planned and the rain lasted for half a month.
After the rain stopped, the river water receded quickly. The team leader placed a raft on the river bank and had someone guarding it to ferry people across.
Yu Qingtang could only report to the machinery factory.
Yun Shuangjiang hugged her and said, "You finally came to work. I was so worried about you."
"I heard that your team was washed away by the flood?"
Yu Qingtang was speechless: "Where did you hear this reliable rumor?"
Yun Shuangjiang: "Hey, I also know that the rumors are not true. You haven't come to work for so long, I want to ask you what's going on."
"It's the bridge leading to the town that was washed away by the flood. But it happened that the bridge was built of wood before, and now it has to be replaced with a concrete one."
When she arrived at the used item recycling department, Master Lin also expressed his concern and condolences to her.
Yu Qingtang explained again that their team was not flooded by the flood, but only a bridge was washed away.
Master Lin: "It's good that it's not flooded. The grain harvest is about to be good. If it is flooded, not only will the grain be wasted, but life next year will also be difficult."
Yu Qingtang: "That's right, luckily God has eyes."
"Bah bah——"
Master Lin quickly looked around and warned her: "Be careful with your words next time."
Yu Qingtang: “…”
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time."
Master Lin: "Hurry up and work. It's been raining heavily in our area recently, and the factory has accumulated a lot of orders."
Yu Qingtang instantly entered a busy life and had no time to leisurely have a meal and chat with Yun Shuangjiang at noon.
After being busy for almost half a month, Yu Qingtang finally had some free time.
She went to Yun Shuangjiang's office to find him, but her colleague said that she had taken a leave of absence and did not come to work today.
Yu Qingtang thought that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he went to the staff quarters to find her.
When passing by an apartment building, Yu Qingtang noticed with his sharp eyes that there was a little kid of about seven or eight years old squatting at the corner under the stairs.
He squatted there motionless, and Yu Qingtang walked over curiously to take a look.
As she got closer, she heard the system ding-dong.
"Ding Dong~ I found a period piece called "A Little Country Girl in the 1970s Became Rich by Studying". Please, host, save the poor little Wang Baoyou."
A big question mark emerged in Yu Qingtang’s mind.
She really didn't expect that after playing a minor supporting role in two novels, Wang Baoyou could also play a poor little character implicated in another book.
No?
According to his character, even if he is not the male lead, he should at least be the second male lead or a villain.
Yu Qingtang squatted beside him and asked softly, "Little boy, why are you squatting here?"
Wang Baoyou raised his little face. He knew this person. He came to his house with Teacher Jiang last time.
He whispered, "My parents are arguing at home and won't let me stay at home."
Yu Qingtang knew who he was, but now he could only pretend not to know and asked: "School isn't over yet, why aren't you going to school?"
Wang Baoyou said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "My parents won't allow me to go to school."
Yu Qingtang said angrily: "Why are you not allowed to study? Your family is short of money."
Wang Baoyou said in a frustrated tone: "My mother said I am not worthy of studying."
"What?"
When Yu Qingtang heard this, her cerebellum shrank. She really couldn't wait to find a place to watch his plot.
"How are your grades?"
When talking about his academic performance, his eyes lit up.
"I have good grades, and my teachers say I am suitable for studying, but..."
Yu Qingtang was really angry. Why hasn't the compulsory education law come out in this era? She really wanted to take the child to the police station and sue his parents.
"Well, you can't go home now anyway, do you want to go to school?"
Wang Baoyou's eyes lit up: "I want to."
But his face immediately darkened again: "But if my parents find out, they will beat me."
In the plot, how did Jiang Wan secretly teach him to read?
Yu Qingtang couldn't think of it.
"Golden melon?"
Jin Guagua flipped through the e-book from beginning to end, and finally said: "There is only one sentence about Wang Baoyou's plot: his family didn't allow him to study, Jiang Wan secretly taught him to read, and then he thanked Jiang Wan in a news interview after he became successful."
Yu Qingtang stood up and stretched out a hand to him: "I'll take you to find the teacher."
Wang Baoyou looked up at the older sister whom he had only met once. There was the fluffy sunshine behind her. He couldn't see her face clearly, but it made him feel extremely at ease.
Yu Qingtang did not send Wang Baoyou to the commune primary school, but took him to Yun Shuangjiang's home.
Yun Shuangjiang had a slight fever and was sleeping in the house.
When Yu Qingtang came, only the youngest child was playing in the yard.
When Yu Qingtang saw the three-year-old Gu Shijia playing in the mud in the yard, with not a single spot of his body clean, the first thing he asked him was:
"What did you use to make the mud?"
The little guy didn't understand what she meant. He sniffed and pointed at the water tank in the yard.
Yu Qingtang breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't urine and mud, otherwise she wouldn't dare to go in today.
Yu Qingtang led Wang Baoyou into the yard. It was a rare bungalow in the Yun Shuangjiang family compound, with a yard and a small piece of land.
This was because her family adopted three orphans of martyrs, and the factory specially approved it for them, because the factory's family quarters had three bedrooms and one living room, which was not enough for a large family.
Yu Qingtang: "Where's your Aunt Yun?"
