Chapter 370 Flood

He Guangcai and Chen Xiuying came out of the family yard with each other. Before they decided where to go, they encountered a torrential rain.

The two of them were soaked in an instant, and they didn't

even have time to hide from the rain. He Guangcai couldn't help complaining: "If it weren't for your bad idea, I wouldn't have been beaten!"

Chen Xiuying still felt wronged, "How did I know you were so useless that you couldn't even survive a single move under his hands."

He Guangcai glared at her, "I'm useless? Chen Xiuying, do you have a conscience? I'm really useless, I won't accompany you today!"

Chen Xiuying was too lazy to argue with him, "Think about where to go now!"

He Guangcai wanted to take her back to the meat processing factory to avoid the rain, but it was a bit far, so he took Chen Xiuying to find He Qianqian.

He Qianqian lived in a dormitory, a multi-person room, which was full of lesbians. There was no way they could get in.

But He Guangcai and Chen Xiuying were soaked and had nowhere to go, so she had to take He Guangcai to the dormitory for male lesbians.

As soon as the rain stopped, she couldn't wait to let them go home.

After leaving the second factory, Chen Xiuying complained unhappily: "You didn't even treat us to a meal, and this is her own sister!"

He Guangcai interrupted her chatter impatiently: "Can you shut up!"

Chen Xiuying became more and more angry and wanted to go back and let He Qianqian take them out for dinner.

After walking a few steps, she heard someone ask: "Is this Qianqian's brother and sister-in-law?"

He Guangcai and Chen Xiuying looked over and looked at each other in surprise.

"Who are you?"

"Brother, sister-in-law, hello, I'm Lai Zhijie, Qianqian's boyfriend."

He Guangcai saw that he was well-dressed and spoke in a gentle manner, and he immediately liked him.

"Qianqian's boyfriend? Why didn't she tell us about it?"

Lai Zhijie smiled and said, "She's shy, so it's normal that she didn't mention it, so I have to take the initiative. I just happened to hear that you guys were coming, so I thought of inviting you to dinner and discussing Qianqian and I's marriage."

Before He Guangcai could react, Chen Xiuying's eyes lit up.

Talking about marriage? Doesn't that mean there will be a dowry?

Looking at Lai Zhijie's clothes, he must be a city person, and he might even ask for a lot of dowry.

"Then where shall we go to eat? Let's make it clear first, we don't need to order anything too bad, her brother and I are not used to it."

Lai Zhijie smiled good-temperedly, "Why don't we go to Dongkelai? After dinner, I'll go to Shunlinzhai to get the snacks I ordered for you two."

Shunlinzhai is famous in the northern city. Many people who come to the capital will go here to buy snacks as soon as they arrive. Chen Xiuying naturally knows this.

But she has never eaten there, and she doesn't have much money, so she doesn't dare to buy it at all.

Now Lai Zhijie's first move is to buy snacks from Shunlinzhai, which makes Chen Xiuying more and more certain that he must have money!

"Okay, then let's go to Dongkelai!"

He Guangcai hesitated. This was He Qianqian's marriage. He and He Youfu had separated, so it made no sense for him to decide his sister's marriage.

"Or else..."

"Hey, what are you doing standing there? Go!" Chen Xiuying pulled him hard.

It rained heavily in the north city all night.

Jiang Yu fell asleep quickly with the sound of dripping rain.

In the middle of the night, amid the deafening thunder, Jiang Yu seemed to hear a knock on the door.

He Tingyue opened his eyes and sat up.

Jiang Yu also woke up and asked in a daze, "Is someone coming?"

He covered Jiang Yu with a quilt and got out of bed.

"You continue to sleep, I'll go out and take a look."

Jiang Yu looked out the window. The rain hadn't stopped yet. He

came here in the middle of the night, maybe it was urgent.

She waited for a while, then turned over and got out of bed.

When she walked out, she found that the person who came was Lin Changan.

He was still wearing a raincoat and didn't have time to take it off.

"Changan, what's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, there was a heavy rainstorm in Henan Province two days ago. Dozens of reservoirs collapsed and there was a flood!"

Director Zheng received the news in the middle of the night and hurriedly asked someone to notify Xie Jinchang to hold an emergency meeting to prepare disaster relief supplies and organize a transport team to deliver them.

It was raining heavily outside, and He Tingyue originally wanted Jiang Yu not to go.

However, as a member of the factory, Jiang Yu was not at ease and went back to the factory in the heavy rain for a meeting.

Almost everyone had arrived, and Director Zheng's face was heavy, and it was obvious that the situation was not optimistic.

"The reservoir collapsed without warning, and the floodwaters rushed out. The first to be hit was Wenjiang Commune in southern Henan. According to reliable information, nearly 10,000 people have been killed."

Everyone lowered their heads, their hearts heavy.

This is not just a number, but also every living life, and even more so, broken families.

"The situation is particularly serious. Wherever the flood passes, villages of all sizes are destroyed. We have no time to mourn. The dead are gone. What is more important now is to save the people in the disaster area. The flood is raging, and the water and fire are merciless. This time I will go there in person to help with the disaster relief!"

Director Zheng stood up, with a righteous look on his face.

"But I won't force you. If you are willing to go and sign up, don't worry. Think it over before you speak up. This trip is definitely dangerous. The Suicheng train station was flooded and the carriages were twisted into a knot. You should know how serious this flood is."

He Tingyue must sign up, and Jiang Yu never doubted it. "

I have participated in disaster relief operations before and have experience. Let me lead the team. I personally don't recommend that the factory director go there in person. The National Cotton Mill needs someone to stay here."

Factory Director Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay!"

Jiang Yu stood up immediately, "Factory Director, I will also sign up."

Factory Director Zheng was startled and did not agree immediately, but looked at He Tingyue.

He Tingyue laughed, "My wife's affairs are her own, she doesn't need to ask me."

Jiang Yu raised her head in surprise. She originally thought that He Tingyue would stop her.

Among the people present, only two elderly people did not go, and everyone else signed up.

Director Zheng arranged everyone to prepare supplies in an orderly manner.

This action was a joint disaster relief operation initiated by the government at the textile base, and they set out together with the people from the steel plant.

It took a lot of time just to prepare supplies.

From midnight to early morning, from early morning to afternoon, they worked overtime without sleep.

The heavy rain did not stop, as if it was endless.

Jiang Yu was sticky all over, and I don’t know if it was sweat or rain, but it stuck to her skin.

Before the departure, Director Zheng gave everyone time to prepare and gathered at 7 o'clock in the evening.

He Tingyue called Jiang Yu home immediately, holding her cold and white hands, and felt distressed.

"To be honest, I don't want you to go."

Jiang Yu smiled, her eyes were tired but full of energy.

"I knew it, why didn't you tell Director Zheng?"

He Tingyue looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"You are my daughter-in-law, and it is my own business that I feel sorry for you. Before you became my daughter-in-law, you were Jiang Yu, and you have the right to decide anything for yourself, and I respect you."

Jiang Yu held his hand in return, her eyes firm.

"We will come back safely!"

He Tingyue held her in his arms, "Of course, I will bring you back safely."

Jiang Yu patted his shoulder, "Stop talking, I have to go back and take a hot bath, I feel very uncomfortable."

He Tingyue nodded, "You go home first, there is still enough time, I will buy some meat and go home to make meat sauce. There is no condition to cook in the disaster area, and the meat sauce can be paired with steamed buns, so it won't be too salty."

If it were the past, he would definitely not think so much.

But this time with Jiang Yu, thinking that she would have to endure such hardships, his heart was pulled up.
