Tianjin is only 500 miles away from the capital.

No wonder the tremors were so strong in the capital!

The panic caused by the earthquake was greatly reduced by the announcements made by community workers.

Everyone gradually returned home.

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun called the Xu and Shen families one by one to let each other know they were safe.

Then, they called Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian, who were on a business trip in Tianjin and Taiwan, several more times, but no one answered the phone at their guesthouse or their workplace after more than a dozen calls.

Panic spread through their hearts once again.

The community staff just said that an earthquake occurred in Tianjin and Taiwan, but they didn't say what magnitude it was.

The tremors were so strong even in the capital city, which gives you an idea of ​​just how devastating this earthquake was!

Perhaps, due to the earthquake, transportation and communication between Tianjin and Taiwan have been paralyzed, and Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian have no way to contact them, nor can they contact the couple.

With their parents in danger and their fate uncertain, neither Shen Jingyan nor Gu Zhiyun could remain calm.

Gu Zhiyun held Rui Rui in one arm while constantly dialing the phone number for Tianjin TV with the other.

Rui Rui was terrified; her little face turned deathly pale, and she clung tightly to Gu Zhiyun's neck, refusing to let go.

The couple's anxiety continued into the night, but there was nothing they could do but wait for news.

Gu Zhiyun had long forgotten to eat lunch, and he also forgot to tell Shen Jingyan that he had been hired as a full-time employee by the Aerospace Academy.

As night fell, the capital city seemed to have moved away from the panic of the earthquake, and it was a peaceful night.

Shen Jingyan cooked two bowls of noodles and called Gu Zhiyun to eat.

"Brother Yun, at least eat something."

Gu Zhiyun ate the bowl of noodles in one gulp.

Even quiet conversation is tasteless.

This feeling of waiting for the unknown is too agonizing.

I turned on the TV, and the evening news was reporting on the earthquake that had struck Tianjin.

"...This earthquake reached a magnitude of 7.8, making it the largest earthquake in China in fifty years. It is estimated that 500,000 people are currently trapped and awaiting rescue. The People's Liberation Army and medical teams are making every effort to rush to the disaster area..."

A magnitude 7.8 earthquake can be considered an epic disaster!

Looking at the ruins and injured people on the television screen, Chen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun were shocked.

Where are Fang Ru and Gu Huaiqian right now?

Have they escaped safely or are they trapped and awaiting rescue?

In the 1980s, the country's economy had just begun to develop, and the speed, methods, and funds for rescue efforts were incomparable to those of later generations.

As Shen Jingyan watched the television screen, a sense of responsibility welled up within him.

She got up and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Uncle, how much grain do we have left on our farm?"

Shen Honggang said, "There are probably still 5,000 jin left, but 3,000 jin have already been reserved. People will come to pick up the goods one after another over the next two months."

Shen Jingyan resolutely said, "Uncle, we won't sell this batch of grain; we'll send it all to the disaster area."

Shen Honggang was stunned for a while, probably shocked by Shen Jingyan's generosity.

Rui Rui sniffed, her eyes were red, and she lowered her head without saying a word.

Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun felt strangely uncomfortable.

Gu Zhiyun pinched Rui Rui's little nose: "Rui Rui, Grandpa and Grandma are still in the disaster area. Dad and Mom are going to the disaster area to bring Grandpa and Grandma over. Rui Rui is a brave little man. You can definitely manage while Dad and Mom are away, right?"

Rui Rui choked back tears as he repeated, "I am a brave man."

Seeing that Rui Rui wasn't crying or making a fuss, and was even holding back tears, Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun felt extremely distressed.

This angel baby must have come to repay a debt of gratitude.

He's not even three years old yet, but he's already a little adult.

Rui Rui wiped away her tears and blinked hard to stop herself from crying out loud.

"Mom and Dad, hurry up and visit the children in the disaster area."
