Chapter 105
"No, don't guess." Father Shen waved his hands repeatedly.
"I came here to tell you just in case you had some wild thoughts. No one is a god. It's only been raining for a short time. What announcement can the city make?"
Cao Hongmin thought about it and it made sense. It only took two or three hours from the start of the rain to the stop of the rain. Even if the city had any instructions, it couldn't be that fast.
It is true that I was too nervous.
He couldn't help but smile: "It's all because of the weather. We can't stand any disturbance now.
Rain is a good thing, but since it started, I've been worried about what might happen next."
At this point, Lao Cao sighed: "Don't let anything happen again, I can't stand it anymore."
Hearing him say this, Shen Jianyi also sighed.
That's exactly the case. Now everyone is scared and everything seems to be an enemy.
But he still said to Lao Cao: "It's not wrong to be careful. Anyway, the weather is indeed a bit problematic now. Who knows when the weather will turn against us again? Let's think about everything in advance."
At this point, he paused and asked, "Is there anything we can do? If so, please tell me. If you want to help, please don't hesitate to help.
Now that my second daughter is back, I will definitely help her if I can.
Don't wait until we leave, or you'll be in trouble if you can't do anything yourself."
Lao Cao waved his hands again and again: "No, no, don't bother Xiao Shen. There are so many people in the courtyard, there is no work that can't be done, why do you have to trouble her?
Don't worry about the chicken farm. We have already taken down the iron net that Xiao Shen had put up on the corn field. It is just the right size for the job.
That's enough for you. Don't worry, we can do the job well.
Uncle Shen, if you guys are going back to the city, leave now and don't stay here any longer. Do it while the weather is still good. Don't let it start to rain later, or the road will be difficult to walk on."
Knowing that Cao Hongmin was really on his side and didn't treat his family as outsiders, Shen Jianyi didn't bother to be polite with him anymore. He just said a few more words and went home.
When he returned, Chen Cong had already cleaned up the house and was handing it over to Sun Qing.
She stood beside the car. The back seat was filled with various precious Chinese herbal potted plants. The trunk lid was half-open. It was so full that it couldn't be closed at all.
Sun Qing stood next to Shen Cong, holding a bunch of keys in her hand.
When Shen Jianyi took a look, it was the string he had given her before. It was obvious that the little girl saw them coming back and rushed over to hand it over to them.
But at this moment, Chen Cong did not take the key back as the father and daughter had discussed before, but pushed the key back to Sun Qing.
She pointed to the yard and said, "Here is the key. I have moved all the things in the house and locked up the unused rooms, so you don't have to come here every day to water the plants."
Sun Qing held the key and looked like she was going to refuse. "Sister, if I don't need to water the plants, then why would I hold the house key? Put the key away. Don't leave it with me and lose it."
"Just take it if you're told to."
Chen Cong said to her, "I have sealed up the rooms on the first and second floors. The rooms on the third floor were used to grow vegetables, and there is nothing there, so you don't have to be shy. Just go if you need to.
I put the heating stove and fuel at home on the third floor. The solar power generation system is also on the third floor. You can come here when you need electricity."
"Also," Chen Cong pursed his lips, "If you need to use the stove someday, you can just move here and live. The house here has heating pipes."
Sun Qing was frightened by her words.
Before, when they were in Fulin, Chen Cong had already talked about the theory of the end of the world. Since then, Sun Qing has been living in anxiety.
Now, it was still summer, but Chen Cong actually talked to her about the heating...
This made Sun Qing's pores contract and she couldn't help but shiver.
Seeing her like this, Chen Cong patted her shoulder soothingly: "Don't be afraid, I'm just talking. You know, I'm used to thinking the worst of everything.
Not really, it doesn’t hurt to be on guard anyway.”
Sun Qing nodded repeatedly, but there was still unconcealable fear in her eyes.
When the natural disaster first struck, Sun Qing was a freshman in college and was not yet twenty years old.
At that time, he looked thin and weak, and he didn't look fully grown.
Although it has been almost three years since then, the little girl has hardly changed because of poor diet and heavy workload, and still looks like a child.
Looking at her like this, Chen Cong suddenly felt that it was not very reliable to just hand the house over to her.
It might also cause trouble for the girl.
She thought for a moment and then said, "If something really happens and we can't get back, you can give the key to Shi Lei or Lao Cao. Just tell them what I said and let them take care of the arrangements. Don't resist."
Sun Qing nodded vigorously again quickly.
After hearing his daughter's words, Shen Jianyi said nothing, but pushed the door and went back to the yard.
Naturally, he understood what his daughter meant, which was that at a critical moment, this house could be made available for everyone to share.
As the homeowner, he was naturally unhappy.
But Shen Jianyi also understood that his daughter's statement must be a helpless act in the end.
If a major disaster really strikes, unless the whole family moves back to the community, Sun Qing will not be able to keep the house.
If there is a flood or a major disaster, the family will have to live together and cannot be separated just for a house.
Now my daughter, son-in-law and even their in-laws have their roots in the city. In any way, they can only go to live with my daughter, and it is impossible for them to return to the community.
If I have to make a choice, the only one that has to be given up is this villa.
Although Shen Jianyi felt that he could understand it, he still felt uncomfortable.
After all, this is his foundation, his home, and the place where he originally wanted to spend the rest of his life.
He didn't want to listen to his daughter talking to others about those things. Every word was like a needle stabbing his heart.
He went back in.
As he entered, Shen Jianyi couldn't help but squint his eyes.
He was only away for a short while, and the house looked so different!
It became... a little shocking to him, and also a little ridiculous.
Chen Cong removed all the iron nets that had previously covered the roof, and even dismantled the iron frames that could not be taken away, and replaced them with a large iron roof that covered the entire house.
He saw the iron roof from a long distance away. It looked like a semicircular turtle shell covering the house.
My daughter didn't try to avoid people when she was doing this, and the noise she made was so loud that there were people watching outside, so it was hard not to notice.
What Shen Jianyi didn't expect was that in addition to this iron roof, Shen Cong also wrapped up all the rooms on the first and second floors.
Not only did she seal all the doors and windows tightly with thick iron plates, she even put up a dense iron net outside.
Unless the iron plate is completely destroyed with a cutting machine, no one can enter the house.
But Chen Cong did not go to extremes. She set up an iron ladder outside the iron net.
The ladder is very sturdy and the partitions on each floor are quite wide. Even if you are not a big man, it is not difficult for ordinary people, even the elderly and children, to go up and down the stairs using the ladder.
The ladder leads directly to the third floor.
Shen Jianyi climbed up the ladder.
The sinks above the third floor are not covered.
Just as she had instructed Sun Qing, she moved the heating stove that had been placed in the kitchen upstairs.
Because there were many people in the family before, the stove was a large one.
In addition to cooking, normal heating can ensure heating of at least 60 square meters.
The third floor was originally designed for growing vegetables, so radiators were installed in every room.
After connecting this stove, the adjacent rooms will become warm.
In addition to the stove, there was an open sack of biofuel in a sink in the corner.
The fuel was placed carelessly in the corner, and it looked like it was left over from the previous use at home.
But in fact, Shen Jianyi knew that this was a new pack opened by his daughter.
And he also put in the half bag that was left at home, so it looks so bulging.
Shen Jianyi calculated that with these fuels and the stove, even if it was burned 24 hours a day, it could at least burn for ten days.
If you're more careful with your budget, you can last longer.
My daughter is leaving the people in the community with a last chance to survive!
She was afraid that if an extreme cold weather came, people would be completely unprepared.
By then, these fuels and stoves will at least give everyone a transition period and make people's lives a little better.
Seeing these configurations, Shen Jianyi's previous anxiety about the possibility of losing the house gradually faded away.
He felt that his daughter had thought very carefully and was doing her best to protect the family.
As long as the social order does not completely collapse, and as long as the people in the community are not on the verge of death, I don't think anyone would be so vicious as to come to their homes and cause damage.
Putting aside other things, the fact that their family has four people with superpowers and an old man named Gu who has a very high prestige in front of the big leaders makes those people think twice before doing anything.
What’s more, isn’t Wei Yan also the leader of the working group?
He still has a lot of prestige in the community.
With these reasons in place, the family’s house will not be lost.
The solar energy, stove and fuel left by the daughter can save everyone's lives at the critical moment.
I think it will also make people in the courtyard remember the good things about home better.
Although they don't care about the good things that others remember about them, at least if someone does something bad, there should be someone who will stop them because of this good thing, right?
Of course, these are the worst-case scenarios, and Shen Jianyi always feels that it will never come to that.
If the world really reaches such a dangerous point, it probably won’t matter whether the house is kept or not.
When Shen Jianyi came out of the house, Shen Cong had almost finished explaining everything to Sun Qing.
Seeing that there was nothing else in their car except green plants, Sun Qing asked worriedly: "Uncle, Sister Congcong, didn't you bring some thick clothes? Is there not enough space in the car? Otherwise, I will bring it to you tomorrow when the rain stops?"
"No need. I have prepared some thick clothes, and my parents brought everything they could when they went there before. You don't have to send us anything, and you can't, because I have sealed the house." Chen Cong hurriedly stopped him.
Then she reached out and poked Sun Qing on the forehead with a worried look, saying, "Didn't you remember what I just said? Don't go out recently! Don't go anywhere.
Didn’t you just say that there is still food stored at home? As long as there is something to eat, you should not move.
And what did I just tell you?"
"I will move my things upstairs when I go back today. I will live on the third floor. I will also move the stove and food upstairs. When the rain stops, I will go collect firewood. I will charge my phone when I have time. I will also talk to Lao Cao and ask them to start storing electricity as well. Sister, I have remembered everything, don't worry."
Sun Qing hurriedly repeated everything Chen Cong had told her to say, as if she was reciting a text.
After saying goodbye to Sun Qing, the father and daughter started back to the city.
It was almost five in the afternoon at this time.
At first everything went smoothly on the road.
Because the drought lasted for so long, the land was full of cracks.
Although there was a heavy rainstorm just now, the rain water was quickly absorbed by the ground.
Not to mention stagnant water, not even a puddle could be seen.
If the ground didn't look a little moist and the air wasn't filled with water vapor, people would have doubted whether it had rained just now.
But not long after they passed Qingshan Town, the rain started falling again.
And it's getting heavier and heavier.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky again and thunder roared once again.
The lightning seemed to be striking people from the sky, and through the car window it felt like it was striking right in front of me.
It's so nervous to watch.
"Let me drive?" Father Shen said a little worriedly.
It stands to reason that we shouldn't continue on our journey at this time. The best way is naturally to find a safe place to take shelter.
But no one would mention this.
Because neither the father nor the daughter knew when the rain would stop?
How much harder can it get?
All we can do now is race against time against the heavy rain and try our best to get back as soon as possible.
"No need, I'll drive." Chen Cong stared straight ahead, not daring to turn his head.
She subconsciously held the steering wheel tightly because of nervousness, but overall, her hands were steady.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and gradually it became pitch black outside the car window. The only light source besides the car lights was the lightning that was striking straight down from the sky.
The two of them didn't say another word. They were so nervous that even their breathing became difficult.
The only thing to be thankful for at this time was that the drought had lasted too long, so even though the rain was so heavy, the roads generally could not retain water.
Even if there is a little water accumulation occasionally, it will be absorbed by the land in a few minutes.
At least this way they don't have to worry about the possibility of their car being flooded along the way.
Because the rain was getting heavier and the road conditions were bad, it was impossible to drive fast, so by the time they returned to the community, it was already late at night.
The four buildings of Fulin were all pitch dark, with only a little light leaking from the windows of the houses.
Shen Cong and Shen's father knew that everyone in the family must be awake and waiting for them to return.
Because it was too late and it was raining, there was no one outside, so Chen Cong didn't care anymore. He put all the things in the car into the space and went home empty-handed with his father.
Sure enough, no one in the house slept.
Not to mention the adults, Tongtong and Shanshan were so sleepy that they were staggering all over the place, but they still tried hard to keep their eyes open, sat down on the sofa and waited for them with the adults.
Seeing them both coming in wet, Shanshan cheered happily first.
"Shh!" Tongtong made a gesture to his sister, then ran to the bathroom like a little adult, took out two towels, and handed them to grandpa and aunt.
"Thank you, baby, but you go to grandpa. Auntie needs to take a bath." Shen Cong rubbed her nephew's head and said.
Gu Kai didn't say anything and went straight to the second floor.
When Chen Cong came up, all the clothes had been taken to the bathroom and put away.
At this time, Chencong felt tired and exhausted, his body was sticky and he felt extremely uncomfortable.
She didn't even have the energy to say anything to her husband. She just pulled his hand to indicate that she was fine, and then went straight to the bathroom.
When she came out, Gu Kai was already waiting at the door with a hair dryer.
Chen Cong slumped in his chair as if all his bones had been pulled out.
My husband helped me apply facial cream and blow-dry my hair, and then I leaned on him and didn't want to move.
Gu Kairen's wife clung to him like an octopus. He kissed her on the top of her head with a distressed look, and then whispered, "Go to sleep first. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
Chen Cong leaned in Gu Kai's arms, feeling that her eyelids were about to stick together, and she really didn't want to move at all.
It was already almost evening. She had been busy for twelve hours, from leaving home at about noon until now.
She is really too tired.
But even so, Chen Cong knew that now was not the time to rest.
She rubbed her head hard in Gu Kai's arms, then said in a muffled voice: "Let's go downstairs and talk. There are still better things to do tomorrow."
After saying that, he stood up.
Gu Kai knew that his wife was right. The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier. It had been raining for several hours and there was no sign of stopping.
At times like this, many things need to be discussed in advance and necessary plans need to be made early.
In addition, there are some things that need to be said to the outside world, and the whole family needs to have a unified voice.
When they went down, Father Shen had already taken a shower and changed his clothes.
Although Shen Cong was driving all the way, Father Shen was an old man in his forties after all, and this trip made him exhausted.
He was sitting on the sofa now, looking a little tired.
On the coffee table in front of him was a bowl of steaming noodles with a golden fried egg nestled on top of the noodles.
Seeing Chen Chong coming down, Cheng Ru quickly said, "There is also some for you. Please sit down first and I will serve it to you."
Shen Cong waved his hand: "Mom, don't serve me, I can't eat a single bite right now."
Cheng Ru stood at the kitchen door, looking at her with disapproval.
Chen Cong had no choice but to say, "Just a small bite. I really can't eat it."
Then she raised her hands: "My hands are still shaking right now."
Seeing her like this, Cheng Ru felt even more distressed.
She went straight into the kitchen without saying a word.
Because it was really late, Chen Cong didn't waste time talking to everyone and said directly: "I moved all the things from the community back, except for a stove and a bag of fuel, I didn't even leave a bench.
I also sealed the entrance to the basement with thick iron plates, and piled up a lot of the waste soil that was previously in the space.
Unless someone knows the place in advance, it is impossible to find it.
In addition, I have surrounded the first and second floors of my house with wire mesh, and sealed the top floor. Not to mention ordinary people, even if a thief gang wants to enter my house, they have to bring professional tools.
So, mom, sister, you don't have to worry about that. No matter when we go back, I can guarantee that the house will be returned to you safely."
After listening to his second daughter's words and thinking about what he had seen before, Shen Jianyi suddenly felt like laughing. He didn't feel anything at the time, but now he felt like laughing.
I just feel that the little girl is really worried about her family.
He couldn't help but joked, "Well, only she can guarantee that the house will be handed over to you safely when she returns. No one else can do that."
"What's the meaning?"
Chen Xi was still shocked by what her sister said. She had never imagined that her father and sister would do such a big thing during their trip!
Now hearing my dad say this again, my mind is a little confused for a moment.
"You'll know when you go back and take a look." Shen Jianyi said with a smile.
He gestured as he spoke: "You haven't seen it, she has wrapped our entire home in such a big iron shell!
I went to the property management and came back shocked!
Do you know what barbed wire looked like in the past?
This time, in addition to the iron shell, she also wrapped it with wire mesh, and then even wrapped the mesh with a layer of thick iron sheet! Three layers in total!
Anyway, no one but her can open it, so even if I want to go back, I can’t get in.”
In order to show how great his second daughter's accomplishment was, Shen Jianyi drew a big circle in the air with his hand, leaving everyone in the room stunned.
For a moment, everyone was a little bit unable to imagine what the so-called iron shell looked like.
What does a home look like when it is wrapped in three layers of iron sheets?
"I suddenly want to go back and take a look." Chen Xi murmured.
"What are you looking at? It's raining so hard, you can't mess around! Your sister scared me to death today!"
Cheng Ru came out with noodles and heard these words as soon as she went out. She immediately glared at her eldest daughter.
Chen Cong was feeling a little embarrassed being stared at by the whole family. When he heard what his sister said, he quickly replied, "It's okay. You'll be able to see it tomorrow. I'm going to seal the top floor balcony tomorrow."
“Does the top floor still need to be sealed?”
As soon as she said this, she immediately attracted the attention of the whole family.
"I moved back all the vegetables and my dad's medicine from home. There's no way they can fit unless the top floor is sealed!" Chen Cong was a little helpless.
"Maybe we don't need to grow so many vegetables." Gu Kai said thoughtfully.
The whole family looked towards him again.
"Have you forgotten my special abilities?" Gu Kai smiled helplessly.
"As long as I'm at home, our family will never be short of vegetables or food, so there's no need to invest too much energy in growing vegetables.
I won’t talk about my father’s medicines. I haven’t tried them so far. I wonder if the medicinal properties of the herbs will change when they are ripened?
But whether it is vegetables or grains, I have tried it many times before, and there is no difference between the ones grown by artificial means and those that mature normally.
Therefore, the proportion of vegetable planting at home can be appropriately reduced.”
Gu Kai's words made everyone in the family silent.
To be honest, if he didn't remind them and no one else told them, even Chen Cong would have overlooked the practicality of his special abilities to his family.
After all, from the time Gu Kai's supernatural powers appeared until now, they have been mostly used to help the country and the breeding and seedling promotion at various government bases, and have basically never been used at home.
So much so that people don't even think of him when they think about their future lives.
It was not until Gu Kai said it himself that everyone realized that they had such a useful weapon at their disposal!
"We can plant less vegetables at home, but we still have to plant vegetables on the top floor. It's not just for our own home. Don't forget that our top floor is also the experimental base of the regiment."
Chen Cong was the first to react and gave a reminder.
"Yes, what Congcong said is right."
Old Master Gu, who had been sitting next to us without saying anything, interrupted and said, "If we really only consider our own family, I think the food we have stored before is enough for us to eat for many years, so it doesn't matter how much we plant.
But Congcong is right to remind you that the top floor is the experimental base of our group, and the data it provides is to serve as a reference for the city's future large-scale development of top-level agriculture.
This matter is very important, and we must pay attention to it.”
"Xiao Kai didn't say that we shouldn't grow vegetables on the top floor. He just suggested that we reduce the proportion of vegetables we grow at home.
He just feels sorry for me as his father-in-law and doesn't want me to work too hard!
I am the one who grows all the vegetables in our family. Apart from my son-in-law, who else has expressed his love and care for me?
Xiaokai, don't listen to your dad. Tomorrow you can ripen all the vegetables I planted, and then I won't worry about them anymore."
Seeing his father-in-law scolding his son-in-law with a stern face, Shen Jianyi couldn't stand it anymore. He immediately tried to smooth things over and made everyone laugh.
In addition to talking about the house and the vegetables that were shipped back, Chen Cong and the others discussed their statements and agreed on how to explain to Zhou Ying and the others about the Chinese herbs being brought back if they asked about it tomorrow.
After all, Zhou Ying and his wife already knew about Chen Cong and his family's return to the community, and they came to ask about it several times and were very concerned about it.
Because they slept too late the night before and were very tired after a long day, the whole family had a tacit understanding and no one woke Chen Cong up the next morning.
So when she woke up naturally, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.
"Why didn't any of you call me!" she complained, rubbing her eyes.
"Why should I ask you to do anything? There's nothing to do at home. If you can sleep a little longer, just sleep a little longer." Gu Kai replied with a smile.
"How come everything is fine? I always dream about moving. There were all these bangs and clangs in the house early this morning. What are you doing?"
"Clean up the two balconies."
After hearing what her husband said, Chen Cong immediately got up from the bed, without even changing out of her pajamas, and went to the balcony in her slippers.
She knew that the balconies her husband was talking about were the two on the second floor.
Fulin's duplex has three balconies in total. The balcony on the first floor is connected to the living room, while the balcony on the second floor is separate, one in the north and one in the south, facing each other.
The south balcony is very large, about sixteen square meters, and is rectangular. There is a ladder against the wall leading directly to the top floor.
The balcony on the north side is a living balcony. It is nine square meters in size and is square in shape. It has walls on two sides and railings on two sides.
This balcony had already been completely sealed by Chen Cong and his team, and like the balcony on the first floor, double-layer explosion-proof glass was used.
Because this balcony is not facing the sun, it has been used as a storage room, where some seldom-used items are stored.
Now those things have been picked up and taken away by my family, and the entire balcony is empty and very clean.
"Why don't you wait for me to get up and clean up? It's so troublesome to move so many small pieces. If you let me do it, I can finish it in ten minutes." Chen Cong complained.
“I asked you to sort it out, but you threw everything into your space, and you definitely didn’t classify it properly.
Then we look for something, and you say you don't know where you put it, and we can't find it even if we die!"
When Cheng Ru heard her daughter complain, she immediately retorted in annoyance.
Chen Cong rubbed his nose and dared not say another word.
She pulled her husband and asked him to go with her to another balcony to watch.
The balcony was not enclosed before, but a sunshade was added on the top near the door.
Firstly, it is inconvenient to go up and down the roof, and it is not convenient to seal it up. Secondly, the original intention was to grow vegetables here, and if it is sealed up, ventilation and sunlight cannot be guaranteed.
This time when Shen Cong went in again, he found that the place had changed in just one morning.
The iron racks, flower pots, and vegetable baskets that they had previously placed along the wall were moved to the center of the balcony, and space was made available in all the corners.
"We discussed it this morning. The dads wanted to keep the top floor untouched for now and seal off the balcony. This will protect it from rain and cold weather."
Gu Kai pointed to the staircase and said, "Leave a passable opening here, which can also be used as a vent. Except for this place, seal off all other places."
Shen Cong nodded. This was what she had planned before.
With the help of his family, Chen Cong sealed the balcony very quickly. It took only more than half an hour to seal the entire balcony.
However, there is a big problem with such an enclosed balcony, which is that it blocks out all the light. If you want to plant here, you can only rely on supplementary lighting.
But things are always multifaceted and it is impossible to cover everything.
Just looking at the rain outside that had not stopped, everyone felt that this was the right choice.
Before the rainy season came, Chen Cong and Shi Chen had already built several tin houses on the top floor and moved the vegetables they grew into them.
So there is no need to worry too much at this moment.
It was raining heavily outside and no one could go out.
So suddenly, everyone seemed to have nothing to do.
In fact, we didn’t go out every day before. With the sun so strong, we would sweat as soon as we went out. No one wanted to go downstairs unless it was absolutely necessary.
But no one seemed bored at that time.
But now, we really can't go out. With so many people sitting in the house, I suddenly feel that the house is a bit cramped and everything seems boring.
Chen Cong simply took out all the vegetables and flowers collected from the community and found some work for his family.
The old man’s flowers and plants were sent to the second floor, and both balconies were filled with his things.
Mr. Gu, who had been a little weak before, felt much better after seeing his long-lost baby.
He no longer even needed anyone to help him, and he wandered among the flower stands on his own, his face full of satisfaction and joy.
Those vegetables from Father Shen were a bit troublesome.
Because there are just too many of them!
Just think about it, how big the villa is. In addition to the top floor, there is also a third and a half floor, and a large piece of land in the backyard...
All those places have been fully utilized before.
If all these things were taken out, there would be no room for anyone in the house, and there would be no room even if all the floor space was filled.
In desperation, Gu Kai had to propose again to ripen the vegetables.
This time, he was rejected by Chen Cong.
"You can't ripen the fruits at home either. You have to wait until the rain stops and then go to the rooftop to do it. Otherwise, the house will be dirty and messy, and we will have to clean it up.
There's no sun, where can I hang the washed clothes?"
"Yes, we are not in a hurry to eat, so why rush them? Let's put them away first and use them when we need them." Cheng Ru was the first to agree.
In the end, under Shen Jianyi's strong request, Shen Cong just took out two small vegetable stands and placed them on the first-floor balcony so that he would not be idle.
In the afternoon, the rain got heavier.
The extremely dry land could not withstand such heavy rain, and water slowly began to accumulate on the ground.
It started raining at around six o'clock the previous evening and has continued until now. More than ten hours have passed and the rain has been sometimes heavy and sometimes light, but it has never stopped.
In the morning, the family was still in the mood to chat and laugh, building a tin house, and arguing over a flower stand.
But in the afternoon, no one had the leisure time anymore, and everyone started to feel a little nervous.
"When will Shichen and Cancan come back?" Cheng Ru was the first to ask worriedly.
"They are following the working group, so they should be fine." Chen Cong persuaded.
"It's troublesome to follow the working group. Don't think I don't know that those working groups in your group are set up everywhere. It would be fine if they were in the city, but what if they are in the mountains? This rain won't cause mountain torrents, right?" Cheng Ru said.
As soon as she said this, she was stunned for a moment, then she quickly said "Pah" twice to the side and said quickly: "I'm talking nonsense, the bad ones don't work but the good ones do, they will definitely be fine!"
But such remedies were obviously of no avail, and everyone's face became solemn.
Shi Chen and Can Can may not be on the mountain.
They are most likely to be around Bac Ninh City.
Wei Yan and Jia Shu are most likely in the mountainous area, especially Jia Shu.
When he came back last New Year's Day, he said in person that he was digging a well in a mountain village.
It’s raining so hard, I wonder if the drilling team he’s in has come down the mountain?
And Wei Yan...
Qingshan Town is called this name because there are several mountains around it.
Although the earth's crust has changed, the mountains are no longer mountains and the slopes are no longer slopes.
But in fact, some mountain villages have been preserved, and some, like Yingshui Village, have inexplicably become mountain villages.
What are these places like now?
Have Wei Yan and the others returned to the community?
You can't think about these things too much. The more you think about them, the more nervous you will become.
But in this situation, there is not even a phone call, and there is no way to find out anything.
Just as the family was standing on the balcony, looking out through the glass, all lost in thought, there was a loud knock on the iron door outside.
It’s raining so hard, who could be coming?
The whole family turned their heads at the same time.
"Who is it?" Tongtong shouted and ran out first.
Gu Kai hurried to follow.
Shen Jianyi, who was standing outside, also followed him out.
Soon, familiar voices were heard outside.
"Jiashu is back!" Chen Xi was the first to hear it.
Before he finished speaking, several people outside came back with Jiashu.
"Where did you come from? A group of us were looking downstairs, but we didn't see you." Shen Cong asked with a smile.
"I came here on the sidewalk. You definitely couldn't see me from upstairs! Sister-in-law, you don't know how hard it's raining outside! The rain is hurting my body.
I ran in from outside, it was just a short distance, and I felt like I had been beaten up.”
Jiashu said, stretching out his arm to show everyone: "Look, my arm is all red!"
"Hey, what are you looking at? Go change your clothes and take a shower! You'll catch a cold if you do that." Cheng Ru pushed Jiashu into the bathroom with a distressed look on her face.
While pushing the door, he said, "It's still the right time for you to come back. If you come back any later, there may not be hot water in the water heater upstairs.
Solar power is useless in this weather.”
Jiashu obediently went over to take a bath, and the family's eyes fell back to the window.
Although I don’t know why Jiashu came back at this time, it’s a good thing that he came back safely!
At least it makes people worry less.
But because of his return, everyone missed the other family members who had not returned.
"I wonder if those young soldiers will come back to stay here tonight? If they do, we can ask them.
Even if they don't know, they can ask Liu Tuan to find out. " Chen Xi said softly, looking at the rain curtain outside.
"With such heavy rain, Liu Tuan and his men may not still be in the regiment headquarters. In this situation, they should be doing flood prevention work, right?" Chen Cong murmured.
Her voice was not loud, but everyone heard it.
Gu Kai's hands slowly clenched into fists.
Shen Cong gave him a warning look.
Gu Kai smiled and said helplessly: "Don't worry, I know my limits."
"I'm just afraid that you won't know your limits!" Chen Cong reminded him bluntly.
It’s not that she is unwilling to contribute to the public, but people must know themselves.
In such weather, no matter who in their family, whether they have special powers or not, the best thing they can do is to ensure their own safety and not cause trouble to the country.
Especially for Gu Kai, the skin on his arms has not fully healed yet. If he goes out at this time, what else can he do except increase the possibility of infection?
If it really gets infected, it will just cause more trouble!
Jiashu came out of the shower quickly.
The whole family gathered around.
"Where did you come back from? What's the situation outside now?" Old Master Gu asked first.
"I came back from Qianshan. Our captain led us to evacuate as soon as the first rain stopped yesterday.
The government had previously issued a notice asking us to pay attention to flood prevention, so we immediately stopped work as soon as it started raining.
Well, our captain was really smart. Fortunately, we evacuated quickly, otherwise we might have been stuck on the mountain again."
Jiashu sighed with a look of relief.
"Is there a flood in the mountain?" the old man asked nervously.
"That's not the case. The river has dried up. There's no need to cause a flood with just this little rain!" Jiashu waved his hands.
"The road is broken. The road on the mountain was not properly built in the first place, and the previous road collapsed long ago due to an earthquake.
When it rained, the road turned into mud, making it impossible to walk on it, let alone transport our machines.
If we don't leave soon, the machine will get stuck in the mud and we won't be able to get out. Then won't we be stranded in the mountains?"
Jiashu used gestures and explanations to express how grateful he was.
The whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
The road is just difficult to travel on, which is nothing. As long as nothing else happens, it will be fine.
