This school district house in District 1 was bought by Xia Huiyin earlier and was under the name of Xia Shige.
When I bought the house, this neighborhood was not very popular. Later, a key school with strong faculty was planned next to the neighborhood, so the housing prices here skyrocketed several times.
The movers helped carry all the luggage upstairs and left.
This house has been uninhabited for a long time and is covered with a thin layer of dust.
The Xia family was busy for the entire afternoon, simply cleaning the house, sorting out the boxes of mattresses, and making the beds in the three rooms. It was already late at night when they finished all the work.
I don’t know what Lu Siyuan told his family after he got home. Starting from the afternoon, Xu Yilan and Lu Siming both called Xia Shige, but Xia Shige was busy cleaning the room and didn’t answer any of them.
After cleaning the house, no one in the Xia family felt sleepy, even the grandmother who was used to going to bed early.
The whole family sat around the dining table in silence, anxiously waiting for the early morning to arrive.
A little after midnight, my uncle opened the short video platform and saw news of a mudslide in Anyuan Mountain being pushed to him.
My uncle quickly showed his phone to the whole family. They were all live videos taken by drones. In the age of self-media, news spreads extremely fast.
In the video, mud was seen rushing down the mountain like a flood.
Huge pieces of rubble were carried by the mudslide, rolling down the mountain, destroying countless trees along the way, and for a moment it looked like a landslide.
"Oh, look at this video. Most of the orchards on the mountain have been destroyed." The uncle looked at the orchard he had taken care of being destroyed. Although he knew it had been sold to the Lu family, he still couldn't help but feel distressed: "These peach trees were selected by me a few years ago. I raised them for a few years, and the first one just reached the fruit-bearing period. What a pity!"
"It's so scary. Look at this video, our house was completely buried! Fortunately, Shi Ge asked us to move out in advance, otherwise, in the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, no one could escape." Aunt Sun Yuegui also patted her chest in fear.
Everyone's expression was filled with fear and loneliness. If before this everyone still held a glimmer of hope that they could go back, now there is really no hope at all.
The home she had lived in for dozens of days was gone. Grandma felt depressed and confused. Although the city was good, she felt constrained in the high-rise building and the neighbors were all strangers. After thinking about it, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Grandma Liu patted my grandmother on the back and comforted her: "Don't be sad, we are lucky to have a life. Since God didn't take us away, it means he wants us to live a good life. I am not afraid of being alone, so why should you be afraid? You have children and grandchildren. Home is where your family is. If you lose your house, you lose it."
"Aunt Liu is right, Mom. If you feel comfortable living in the countryside, let's go back to the village and rebuild a house later." Xia Huiyin also comforted her.
Sun Yuegui also managed to cheer herself up and agreed: "Yes, the house can be repaired if it is destroyed. It's good that the people are fine."
Sun Yuegui thought for a moment, and then said to Xia Huiyin, "Sister, your place has three bedrooms, and it's not convenient for your elder brother and I to live here. We have just discussed it. I will go back to the factory tomorrow, and your elder brother will go with me. Now that there is no orchard to take care of, let him find a job in my factory."
Xia Guocheng used to work as Xia Huiyin's orchard helper, and Xia Huiyin paid him 40,000 yuan per day. When the orchard didn't need to be taken care of, Xia Guocheng would go to the local electrical appliance factory to work as an hourly worker installing home appliances.
Sun Yuegui continued, "We still have a few hundred thousand in savings, and we had planned to buy a house in the city a while ago, but Zi Yan went to join the army right after graduation, so the house purchase was put on hold. There is no need to wait now, we will go out to look for a house in the next few days and pay a down payment first, and then we can move these luggage out."
Before Xia Huiyin could speak, Xia Shige said, "Aunt, don't worry about this for now. I contacted Brother Zi Yan this morning and asked him to take a few days off from the army. I bought tickets for you, my mother, uncle, and grandma for tomorrow. The four of you can go see Brother Zi Yan together tomorrow."
In his previous life, Xia Ziyan's despair in front of his family's grave had always been a thorn in Xia Shige's heart.
Xia Ziyan came in a hurry after hearing the news that something happened to his family, and left in a hurry after hearing the news that something happened to the country.
No matter what in this life, Xia Shige must let the family meet before the natural disaster!
Xia Shige continued, "I have several classmates who work in the meteorological department, and they all reminded me that there may be some meteorological disasters across the country in the next period of time."
"As a soldier, my cousin will definitely be involved in disaster relief work. It will be difficult for him to go home when the time comes. Go meet him tomorrow and bring him some food and daily necessities. It won't be too late to talk about moving when you come back."
Although my uncle and aunt felt it was a little sudden, they really hadn't seen their son for a long time. After hearing Xia Shige's analysis, they all nodded and said, "Yes, it's time to go see Zi Yan. The last time he talked to me, he said he wanted to eat the bacon at home. This time, we can send it to him."
Xia Huiyin asked, "Shige, aren't you going with us? You haven't seen your cousin for a long time."
Xia Shige also wanted to go, but she couldn't go because a month later there would be an unprecedented tornado on land. This school district house was in the tornado's hardest-hit area, so she had to take advantage of this time to sell the house and buy a shelter.
"I have something else to do, so I won't go this time. It's just right for Grandma Liu and I to go home and clean up the things." Xia Shige made an excuse:
