A meeting was held quietly and ended quietly.
The task was assigned to every production brigade and community unit.
All units and production brigades temporarily put aside their current work and conducted drills every day.
Each department dispatched personnel to wait in the surrounding open areas.
Tents, food, medicine and drinking water were prepared at the evacuation sites, and escape routes were arranged in various places with road signs for guidance.
On the day when the date in the dream arrived, all cars and trains stopped running.
Looking at the unusually brilliant glow in the sky, the leader sighed.
"We have done what needs to be done. We just hope the losses can be minimized."
"I would rather be punished than let the dream happen."
At this time, the hearts of people in the whole city were lifted.
"Do you think what happened in the dream will really happen tonight?"
"I've been having this dream for half a month now. I'd rather believe it than not."
"Don't sleep too hard at night. If something happens, you can run away!"
"Yes, that's right! We need to take good care of the children at home so they don't run around!"
Not only did official departments take precautions, but all work units, streets, and production brigades also issued reminders.
Please stay alert at night and prepare for disasters. Once a disaster occurs, evacuate quickly according to the well-rehearsed procedures.
At night, it was completely silent outside, and even the slightest movement was noticeable in the silence.
From somewhere, there came faint sounds of breaking and friction, like the crackling sound of rubble rolling down a cliff.
Everyone became nervous and sweated as they watched the hands of the clock move second by second.
I hope the disaster in my dream will never reach this land.
As long as we get through tonight, everything should be fine.
Everyone hopes so in their hearts.
However, the opposite happened.
The hour hand gradually pointed to the time in the dream, and the ground began to shake.
Everyone took a deep breath, ran out with their children, and joined the team quickly and orderly.
Everyone followed the drill procedure and ran to an open area along the already-planned evacuation route. However, the ground became more and more violent, as if an angry beast stood up and shook.
The giant beast opened its huge mouth, trying to swallow everything. As the earth shook, everything was destroyed and turned into dust.
People stumbled and held each other's hands, struggling to run towards the hope of survival in the dust.
The crying of children, the frightened shouts of adults and the calm and commanding voices mixed together, the atmosphere was chaotic and panic-stricken, which made people feel even more fearful.
"Hurry, get up! The ground is cracking!"
"Help! Help me! I can't stand!"
“Qingqing——”
"I'll pull you along, let's run together! Run! There's an open space ahead!"
"It's so scary! The whole house collapsed! Our home has completely collapsed!"
"Comrades, hurry up, follow me, run this way!"
When the dust settled, most people survived, standing in the ruins, looking confused and terrified.
The disaster struck suddenly and ended just as quickly, leaving no time for reaction.
After coming to their senses, everyone quickly directed the crowd to escape, as the ruins were now very dangerous.
A second collapse, falling heavy objects, and another disaster could occur at any time.
At the escape gathering place, some people looked relieved, while others were crying.
"Ah, ah, my child, he has fallen into the crack..."
Casualties were inevitable, but this time everyone had time to react, so the losses were minimal.
…
"Merit +100, Gratitude +100."
Hua Wanchi felt heavy-hearted when he heard the news on the radio.
The power of natural disasters is too terrifying. Even if we are prepared in advance, human power has its limits.
But everything that can be done has been done, and fortunately it has had some effect.
At least the death toll has decreased.
Those who are alive must continue to live their lives.
Hua Wanchi was listening to the radio with a heavy heart when he saw his father Hua Xuguo and his third uncle carrying a refrigerator in.
Wan Qingliu followed in and gave orders.
"Put it at the foot of that wall. Be careful not to break it!"
Hua Wanchi suddenly became curious and asked:
"Grandma, why do you suddenly want to buy a refrigerator?"
Wan Qingliu: "Refrigerators are so great! I can buy popsicles and put them in the freezer, and then I can just grab some whenever I want!"
Just this reason?
Hua Xuguo couldn't help but grin and said happily:
"Our family must be the first in the village to buy a refrigerator!"
If you want a refrigerator, Hua Wanchi can buy one at Gongde Mall.
But we can't rely too much on our ancestors. If we use everything in space, we will become disconnected from reality once we get used to it.
Moreover, the emergence of home appliances such as refrigerators at this time is also thanks to our ancestors.
The various technologies that Hua Wanchi had contributed finally produced results and began to be put into use one after another.
The refrigerator is one of them. It is expensive, but at least it is sold.
As long as there is something to sell, there is always someone who can afford it.
The products in Hua Wanchi’s space cannot be eaten up, but every time he takes them out, he has to go to the county town to hide them.
If you have a refrigerator at home, you can take out more at one time and you don’t have to go to the county town every time.
There is no need to be afraid of taking things out at any time, Wan Qingliu can be said to have been to the county town.
Anyway, things can be kept in the refrigerator for several days.
And with a refrigerator, you can cook a lot of food.
For example, summer heat-relief artifacts such as popsicles and ice cream, as well as jelly, and even watermelon can be put in to cool down.
Wan Qingliu sighed: "Technology is still good!"
Hua Jingmin: "Mom, you won't buy other appliances later, right?"
Wan Qingliu put her hands on her hips and said confidently, "Yeah, electrical appliances make everything easier! I'm rich!"
Hua Xuguo and Hua Jingmin couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy when they heard their own mother showing off her wealth.
It is true that she is rich. After all these years, I have never seen her lack money.
I don’t know how much money she has on hand!
Hua Xuguo had a bit of a vision: "If my parents were to die a hundred years later, wouldn't my brothers and I be rich?"
He is not greedy and does not fight for so much. He just wants all the brothers to share equally. Even if Hua Xianghong wants a share, it is not impossible.
Wan Qingliu's face darkened when she heard her unfilial son coveting her inheritance right in front of her eyes.
She opened her mouth and said angrily: "Don't worry, I will definitely live well and try to die after you!"
Hua Xuguo chuckled: "Mom, this is not up to me!"
Hua Wanchi: "Dad, if you get angry again, she'll kill you right there."
Looking at Wan Qingliu's dark face, Hua Xuguo swallowed.
The momentum suddenly weakened.
"Mom, I'm just trying to make you happy. How could I possibly want your money? Right?"
Hua Qingping happened to walk in and heard it, and couldn't help but retort.
"Come on, you're the only one in this family who relies on the money from my parents every day!"
While several of his brothers have jobs, Hua Xuguo is nearly 40 years old and still seems to be living off his parents with a clear conscience.
