Chapter 175 Chapter 175 Flood

"Let's go and take a look."

He Junxia made a decision quickly, and the group rowed quickly towards the cruise ship in the distance.

The people on the cruise ship also seemed to see them. The distance between the big ship and the small boat was getting closer and closer, until they could see each other's faces clearly.

It's just that the wind is a bit strong right now.

He Junxia's breath sank into his dantian, and he shouted loudly, "Where are you going?"

The people on the deck shouted back, "We are a rescue team sent by the government. We set out from Kangyang City and headed south to search for survivors."

Everyone suddenly became excited.

The fact that the government was able to send rescue ships shows that there are still some areas that have not been flooded and they can still return to land.

Miao Yueze held Wei Lingyu's hand tightly and wiped away the tears welling up in the woman's eyes with pity.

"Daughter-in-law, don't cry. Kangyang City is not far from Kangluo City. When the ship returns, you can meet your parents-in-law."

"I'm so happy."

Wei Lingyu sniffed, but she didn't expect that something even happier was yet to come.

As soon as they boarded the ship, staff came to register their identity information.

"Your name is Wei Lingyu, Ling for Ling, Yu for language?" the staff member asked again in surprise after hearing her name.

Wei Lingyu was a little confused but nodded. "My name is Wei Lingyu. What's going on?"

The staff member laughed and said, "Your mother's name is Zhuang Daiyu, and your father's name is Wei Mingjie, right?"

He Junxia stuffed a bag of biscuits over and said, "Sister Chen, how do you know the names of my sister-in-law's parents? Do you know them?"

Sister Chen accepted the cookies and smiled happily: "Your parents are on the boat, of course I know them, they talk about your sister-in-law every day."

"Wait a minute, I'll call them over right now so you and your family can have a good time together."

Sister Chen was so excited when she spoke that she left in a hurry without waiting for their response. It seemed that she was also very happy for their family reunion.

Wei Lingyu was stunned.

She held onto the iron railings for getting on and off the bed, a stunned expression still on her face, her brain unable to process the truth of Sister Chen's words.

Are my parents on this boat too?

Mom and Dad are on this boat too!

Wei Lingyu originally thought that she would never see her parents again in this life, but she didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

Wei Lingyu's heart suddenly started beating faster and faster with the sound of two running footsteps, not sure if it was because she was homesick or for some other reason.

"Lingling, it's really you."

Zhuang Daiyu watched the person he had been thinking about day and night suddenly appear as if in a dream, and in an instant he burst into tears.

She hugged Wei Lingyu and cried loudly, as if she wanted to cry out all the sorrow and despair she had experienced during this period of time.

She cried, Wei Lingyu also cried

The sight of the two of them hugging each other and crying was both funny, sad, and fortunate. No matter what the past and the future would be like, at least at this moment, they were together.

It’s enough for the family to be together.

Wei Mingjie stepped forward and patted Miao Yueze on the shoulder and said, "Yueze, thank you, thank you for taking good care of my daughter."

Although his daughter's face has become much thinner and she no longer has a double chin, he can see that she is well taken care of and her face is full of happiness.

Miao Yueze scratched his head embarrassedly: "Dad, I am Lingyu's husband, and it is my duty to take care of her."

"But many men can't do this. You are a very responsible husband."

Wei Mingjie's eyes were red, and he cried and laughed: "I am very glad that I chose the wrong person, and my daughter chose the right one."

Only God knows how desperate he and his wife were when they heard from other survivors that the entire T Province had been flooded.

"Yue Ze, I was wrong before and gave you a hard time. I want to say sorry to you here."

"Dad, what are you talking about? We are all family, there is nothing to be sorry about."

Miao Yueze felt even more embarrassed.

He knew that his father-in-law had never been happy with him, but since he had married his precious daughter whom he had raised for more than 20 years, and married her off far away, it was normal for him to be unhappy.

If he had a daughter in the future, he would never let her marry a man who lived thousands of kilometers away.

Besides, his mother-in-law treats him very well. When they started their business of opening a milk tea shop, they also relied on the financial support of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

He Junxia waited for a while, and seeing that everyone's emotions had gradually calmed down, he quietly tugged at Su Guizhi's clothes.

Su Guizhi's eyes also turned red. The scene of the mother and daughter hugging each other affectionately reminded her of her own mother.

Even though the social environment was bad at that time and having enough food was a problem, she was still the child that her mother loved and cherished.

In an era when most boys could not go to school, it was her mother's persistence that made her the first child in the village to complete elementary school.

It was because of this that she was later successfully hired as an accountant by the cement factory.

It’s a pity that her mother fell ill due to overwork and passed away before she could take good care of her.

Su Guizhi wiped her eyes and then remembered to use her eyes to ask her youngest son what he was doing.

"My sister-in-law is pregnant."

He Junxia made almost no sound, but Su Guizhi understood his lip movements at a glance.

What's wrong with pregnancy?

Su Guizhi was a little puzzled. Her eldest daughter-in-law was more than six months pregnant, and her youngest son had just found out about it.

etc?

My parents-in-law wouldn’t know about this yet, right? Didn’t Lingyu tell them?

Su Guizhi suddenly felt a headache. She stepped forward and tugged at her eldest daughter-in-law's clothes: "Don't just stand there. Sit down."

"After being in the boat for so long, it's more comfortable to sleep in a bed. It's more comfortable for you and the child."

Zhuang Daiyu was puzzled: "What child?"

She let go of Wei Lingyu and looked down to see her visibly pregnant belly. Her eyes widened. "Are you pregnant? How many months?"

"More than six months."

"It's been six months?!" Zhuang Daiyu calculated the time: "Why didn't you tell me and your dad?"

That's not embarrassing.

Wei Lingyu smiled awkwardly. She always felt it was difficult to tell her parents that she was pregnant, so she thought about waiting until she was further along in the pregnancy before telling them.

Who knew that things are so unpredictable, and I have waited until this moment.

Wei Lingyu chose to change the subject: "By the way, Mom, why are you and Dad on this ship?"

"I'm still worried about you."

"Your father and I heard that there was a rescue ship heading south recruiting volunteers, so we signed up right away."

Zhuang Daiyu nodded his daughter's head and said, "You kid, you didn't even tell us you were pregnant. Do you even recognize me and your dad?"

"Oh, Mom."

Wei Lingyu pouted. In front of her mother, she could always act coquettishly without restraint.

The family chatted for a while before Zhuang Daiyu and her husband Wei Mingjie left. As volunteers on the ship, they had a lot to do.

But times are different now.

After confirming that their daughter was safe, both of them put down the burden in their hearts and gained long-lost relaxation and happiness.

"Sister Zhuang, I heard your daughter found her son. Congratulations."

"Congratulations, everyone."

"Brother Wei, your daughter was among the people rescued just now. Can you finally rest assured now?"

"Hahaha"

"My daughter has a good eye for people. She chose a good son-in-law and a good in-law family who take good care of her."

Wei Mingjie slapped his thigh fiercely: "I actually didn't like that guy at the beginning. I really have no taste."

Such conversations took place in every corner of the ship, and most of the staff were happy for them.

People who are in similar situations as the two can't help but hope that perhaps their loved ones are also being well taken care of somewhere.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

As the ship sailed south, the fewer survivors it encountered, and less than two thousand people were rescued.

Although two thousand people may sound like a lot, it is a drop in the bucket compared to the population that once lived in these areas.

Forty-eight days later

The cruise ship finally returned to its departure port, and the survivors on the ship finally saw the long-lost land.

The moment their shoes touched the ground, countless survivors burst into tears, and some even bent down to kiss the ground beneath their feet without caring about their image.

Too long

It's been too long.
