Grandma Fang and Grandpa Fang also came out of their bedroom on the first floor.
Grandpa Fang was wearing a martial arts uniform, and Grandma Fang was wearing a traditional Chinese jacket.
Seeing Fang Qinghe and Fang Yuan standing at the door, he asked curiously:
"What are you two doing standing at the door? And with that oil-paper umbrella? Is it raining outside?"
"Yes, Mom and Dad, there's something wrong with the rain today, so you shouldn't go out for exercise."
Fang Qinghe knew what the two were up to just by looking at their clothes.
"What's wrong with this drizzle? I've been through even heavier rains before." Grandpa Fang didn't care at all.
"Grandpa, the rain is polluted; there are black marks on the umbrella!"
Fang Yuan quickly raised the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to add.
"What? Let me see!" Grandpa Fang said as he walked over.
"Grandpa, don't touch it. Look at the little black spots on it. I'm not lying to you."
Fang Yuan carefully brought the umbrella closer to show them.
Sure enough, the umbrella was covered with tiny black dots, like insect eggs.
"Is rain pollution this serious now?" Grandpa Fang asked incredulously.
Society has developed to this point, and technology has advanced, but even rainwater is polluted to this extent.
Is this kind of development meaningful? Isn't this like draining the pond to catch all the fish?
"The air quality in our Yuncheng has always been pretty good, so how could it be this serious?" Grandma Fang asked.
"It must have been caused by last night's giant meteor shower. Grandpa and Grandma, you didn't see it, it was spectacular, it happened in most parts of the world."
Fang Yuan quickly said that.
"Meteor shower? Are you kidding your grandma?" Grandma Fang teased with a smile.
How could a meteor shower possibly affect their weather here?
"Fine, don't believe me then, but you're not allowed to go out if it rains these next few days. I don't want to see you get sick from the rain," Fang Yuan instructed the two elderly people.
"Okay, I won't go out, I won't go out, I'll do whatever you say."
Grandma Fang is very accommodating towards her newly found granddaughter.
"Grandpa, there's a gym downstairs. Why don't you go there? I don't know how to use these gym equipment yet. Do you know where I am?"
Fang Yuan asked the two elders.
"A gym? This old man has never been to one before. Shall we go down and take a look?" Grandpa Fang nodded in agreement.
"Let's go then!"
As Fang Yuan led the two elders downstairs, he turned around and gave Fang Qinghe an OK sign.
Fang Qinghe also quietly gave Fang Yuan a thumbs up.
For two days in a row, the clouds in the sky grew thicker and thicker, and the rain fell harder and harder.
Two days later, the acid rain turned into a downpour, and the sky outside looked like it was late at night even though it was midday.
Fang Chengyuan, wearing a raincoat, struggled to carry a large bag of things over from next door.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Third Uncle, Yuanyuan, are you all doing well?"
"You silly child, what are you doing here in such heavy rain? What could we possibly need? We could have just called."
Grandma Fang looked at her grandson, who was wearing a raincoat and was soaked to the bone, and said with heartache.
"I'm fine. It's just that my dad was worried about you and insisted that I come to check on you and bring you some raincoats."
After saying that, Fang Chengyuan leaned closer to Fang Qinghe and whispered:
"Third Uncle, you should go and stock up on some grain quickly, there's been a problem with the weather lately."
"What's the problem? What did the weather station find?" Fang Qinghe asked, raising an eyebrow.
He had also seen the news these past few days. The weather station only said that there would be continuous showers, and many places would experience power outages, with circuit repairs underway.
"Third Uncle, don't tell me you didn't notice? The clouds in the sky have almost completely blocked out the light. It's only a few o'clock and it's already this dark?"
Fang Chengyuan pointed to his watch, then to the sky outside, and asked in return.
Yesterday there was at least some light, but today it's just the glimmer of dawn.
As for the weather station, they couldn't give a clear answer either.
Because it wasn't just Yuncheng that was like this, but the whole country, and even the whole world, was inexplicably covered by thick clouds.
Not long ago, the people on the space station sent back a photo showing that the planet was completely shrouded in mysterious clouds and fog, and even the seawater could not be seen.
"I understand. I'll have the steward and the others go out and stock up on some supplies," Fang Qinghe said after thinking for a moment.
In my previous life, I didn't bring my parents here, nor did Fangyuan return home.
The brothers only met again after the apocalypse, and eventually fell out over their parents' affairs.
In this life, because the old man and old woman are here, all three brothers have been able to gather here.
It's a pity that the second son's marriage hasn't been finalized yet, but fortunately Li Xueqin has already gone back to her parents' home.
Upon hearing Fang Qinghe mention the butler and the others, Fang Chengyuan thought for a moment and said somewhat tactfully:
"Third Uncle, the weather is so unusual. Should we let the housekeeper and maids go home to rest?"
After all, the current situation is unclear. If something really happens, these people will become a burden to their family in the future.
"I know what you're worried about, but Uncle has a small warehouse with food supplies. There are only the butler and the cook here, so you don't need to worry."
Fang Qinghe patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile.
Besides the aunt who stayed in the city for Cao Can, he had sent the other aunt home to rest the day he moved in.
His housekeeper had been with him for many years, and his son was one of his assistants.
The cook was his father's former bodyguard, who had worked for his family for twenty years. His son and his own son were even in the same armed police force, risking their lives together.
These two were his helpers in his past life, which is why he brought them with him this time.
There's also Dr. Liu, who has only one daughter who studies at Yunnan University, and is a classmate of his daughter Yuanyuan.
"Third Uncle, you're amazing! You even stored up food in advance!" Fang Chengyuan gave Fang Qinghe a thumbs up.
Come to think of it, how could an industry that has grown to such a large scale not have some backup plans?
"These are all stockpiled supplies that can be stored for a long time. I would definitely not eat them unless absolutely necessary," Fang Qinghe said with a smile.
It wasn't just him; anyone with a bit of money had stockpiled some emergency supplies.
After all, with the various lockdowns and pandemics of the past few years, coupled with the turmoil in surrounding countries, everyone had more or less stored things away.
"Alright, in that case, I'll head back first. My dad finally got two days off this time, and I'd like to spend some time with him."
"With this rain, the phone hasn't stopped ringing at home lately. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Uncle, to take care of the elderly couple," Fang Chengyuan said apologetically.
We finally have the National Day holiday, but if the torrential rain continues, the problems that follow are already foreseeable.
“These are my own parents, you don’t need to worry about them. You should be glad you’re a policeman. If it had been raining heavily all the time, your brother, the armed policeman, would have been busier than you,” Fang Qinghe replied with a smile.
After the two finished talking, they returned to the living room, where Fang Chengyuan chatted with everyone for a few more minutes.
