Chapter 385 Uncle is Coming (5)
Speaking of home, the three members of Liu Lang's family showed bitter faces, Liu Lang said with a wry smile: "If you hadn't asked Xiaotian to come over to deliver the message, we would probably have borrowed at someone else's house for the New Year." !

Thinking about the situation of Liu Lang's family, Qin Shuang also sighed regretfully.

A few days ago, it was Uncle Liu Lang's house in Yunde Village that she asked Qin Tian to send a message to, because she hadn't seen her uncle's family since she got married. They met before they moved and told them the whereabouts of their family, so that if they came to find them in the future and found that they had gone, she didn't plan to tell the villagers where they were going, and it would be bad if they missed it.

In the end, the news Qin Tian brought back was far beyond her expectation.

She didn't expect that the earthquake in Zhoushui County would also affect Yunde Village!And Uncle Liu Lang's family is one of the most unlucky people among them!

This matter has to start with the earthquake in Zhoushui County that has passed almost two months. The earthquake, in Qin Shuang's words, is an aftershock. The aftershock may be near Zhoushui County, but it may also extend outward in an uncertain direction. Yunde Village is one of the villages affected by the aftershock.

Although Yunde Village is located in Liangyi County, it is also a village relatively close to Zhoushui County. Many surrounding villages or small towns were affected by aftershocks. The first wave of aftershocks occurred in Yunde Village, and this The size of the aftershock is not small!Not only did many cracks appear in many fields around the village, but also the houses in the village that were not too strong and could not withstand earthquakes of high magnitudes collapsed to varying degrees.

Speaking of which, the situation should be very clear. That's right, among the houses that collapsed due to the aftershocks was the house of Liu Lang's family!What's more, the whole house has been ruined quite thoroughly, falling apart, and there is no possibility of repairing it at all. There is no other way but to tear it down and rebuild it.

It's okay if it's summer, the weather is hot, even if the house can't be lived in, it's enough to build a shed in the yard for a while, but it's winter now!Build a shed that can't keep out the wind and cold at all, and still freeze to death?In desperation, Liu Lang could only borrow to live in someone else's house temporarily, trying to find a way to rebuild the house as soon as possible.

Money, because Qin Shuang paid back the money lent by Qin Shuang, so Liu Lang's money is not tight, and he can still have a lot of money after rebuilding the house. Even if the dowry money for the two children in the family is less, this If you work hard for two years and farm the land well, you can save it again if the harvest is good.

But here comes the problem again!The houses in Yunde Village were not only ruined by their family, at least the houses of ordinary families could not live in them. Those who had relatives in other villages could move there for a period of time, and those who didn’t have to live in houses with intact houses. , and are eager to rebuild the house. You are short of people and I am short of people. You can't expect people in the village to come to help and go out to ask people. Few people are willing to come and build houses in winter. Even if there are, the price It is also two or three times the usual amount, which is frighteningly high. Farmers like them are simply reluctant to spend so much money.After all, they have to continue to live after the house is built, how can they spend all the money?
So almost two months have passed, and the house of Liu Lang's family has not been built yet, but the money has been spent in bits and pieces. What's worse, not only the house has been destroyed, but even the fields have been cracked. Everyone has their share, it can be said that they are unlucky!

The serious situation of field cracks means that after the beginning of spring, the sowing will be affected, and the harvest in autumn will be affected. Not to mention the need to sell grain to save money, they don't know if they can eat enough for themselves!If there is no income, you have to continue to spend, and the savings that are not much in the first place are estimated to be exhausted soon!Just thinking about it makes people lose their hair.
