The captain wanted to call Yang Yufen, but after thinking about it, he gave up.
The next day, it started raining again, not heavily, but the brigade leader still used the loudspeaker to call all the villagers to send one person from each family to the brigade for a meeting.
“It’s been raining for days. I called other places and found that it’s raining in other towns upstream of the Han River as well. The water level at the dam has also risen a lot. We are downstream and in the flood discharge area. There was a major flood more than 20 years ago. I believe everyone still remembers it.”
The captain's words sank everyone's hearts.
"Form patrol teams to monitor water levels 24 hours a day. If it continues to rain, harvest the crops if possible, and if not, people are the priority. Be prepared."
The same message rang out in various brigades, and the phone calls between brigades became more and more frequent.
The situation was quickly reported to higher authorities, attracting serious attention.
Yang Yufen finally got to use her radio. Listening to the news on the radio every day, she breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the leaders were paying close attention to the matter.
Not causing trouble for the country is the best and simplest thing she can do.
Yao Yao was on vacation, but Wang Shuo was very busy, and Fang Fen was also busy. So, Aunt Wang and Yao Yao became frequent visitors to Yang Yufen's place.
The two older women listened to the radio and discussed things together, while Yao Yao played with the twins. They did their homework in the morning and played soccer and jump rope in the afternoon.
“I called the village yesterday, but the phone was no longer working. I guess they have been moved to a safe place.”
"That's good. We're all neighbors. There's nothing we can do about natural disasters. Our leaders and our army are the best. They're always on the front lines of disaster relief and rescue, truly putting the safety of our people first."
"yes."
Yang Yufen thought of her past life, when there was a great flood, and the people's soldiers were at the forefront.
Thinking about it, he thought of his missing son. He didn't know where he had died, but he couldn't be dead. Men are tough and resilient.
"Ah! Grandma! Grandma! Grandma Yang! My little brother has fallen off the bed!"
Yao Yao's anxious voice rang out, and Yang Yufen dropped what she was holding and rushed in. What she saw was Yao Yao sitting on the ground holding the child, with the little one nestled in Yao Yao's arms.
Yang Yufen picked up the little one and put her back on the bed. When she turned around, she saw Yao Yao supporting herself and standing up.
"Let Grandma Yang take a look. Tell her where it hurts, and she'll take you to see a doctor."
"Grandma Yang, I'm fine. It was just that my little brother suddenly rolled over and gave me a fright."
Yao Yao quickly waved her hand.
"Are you really alright?"
"The little guy can roll over now, so we'll have to keep a close eye on him from now on."
Aunt Wang walked in a step later, and while talking, she took Yao Yao's hand and started to examine her.
"Grandma, I'm really okay. I can carry my little brother, and I caught him just in time."
Yao Yao stretched out her hand to show her grandmother; her fair palms were only slightly pink.
Yang Yufen was still worried, so she pinched Yao Yao's bones and pressed her coccyx to check.
Yao Yao chuckled.
"Grandma Yang is itchy, hehehe~"
"Looks like everything's alright."
Aunt Wang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Yao Yao's cheerful voice.
"I'll get some bamboo and make a bed rail. Once he can roll over, he won't be far from being able to crawl and stand."
