"elder brother……"
Huo Qing was a little worried about her older brother, "You didn't rest last night, and you're exhausted after a long day today. Can't you rest at home tonight?"
"Can your body handle it?"
"I'm fine."
Huo Cheng patted his sister's head. "It's not appropriate for you to be alone at home while you're pregnant."
The camp isn't too busy right now, so his presence is enough.
As for the brother-in-law, he stayed home to take care of his sister.
He just felt he had let his wife down.
At this time, I was unable to stay home with my wife.
"Yueyue..."
"It's alright, you can go!"
Yingyue didn't mind at all; she supported all of Huo Cheng's decisions.
The couple returned home, and Huo Cheng lit a fire and heated a pot of water.
Fortunately, their drinking water was drawn from a lake in the mountains. Although the water pipe was broken by the strong wind, it was reconnected in time in the morning.
Therefore, it does not affect drinking water.
With water, no electricity, and some food at home, the post-disaster days aren't too difficult to endure.
Moreover, Huo Cheng said that supplies should be delivered to the island tomorrow.
When the time comes, each household will receive a few kilograms of grain, and they won't be unable to make ends meet.
Huo Cheng's brows were furrowed as he said this.
"What's wrong?"
Yingyue asked in confusion, "Did your company suffer serious losses?"
Huo Cheng lowered his eyes and saw his wife's focused gaze. He couldn't help but nod gently.
"We're already short on funds, and now the damage is so severe everywhere..."
At this point, Huo Cheng realized he shouldn't have told his wife these things.
After all, he was already troubled enough about this; he couldn't let his wife suffer along with him.
Yingyue held his hand. "It will be alright."
"Um……"
Saying things will get better is really just the couple's hopeful expectation for the future.
After all, our current technology is really outdated.
After such a severe natural disaster, it's impossible to recover in a short time.
Yingyue slept alone on the kang (a heated brick bed) that had been soaked in seawater and then dried by the wind.
With the sea breeze blowing in through the window, she closed her eyes and fell asleep in no time.
I'm so tired.
I barely slept at all last night.
She had been busy all day, and even the first half of the night was busy. After lying down on the kang (a heated brick bed), she didn't have time to think about anything else and fell asleep immediately.
In the family compound, most people were like her.
Although they were all worried about the future, they couldn't resist their physical exhaustion and fell asleep quickly.
I'm going to sleep now. As for tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
The next morning, Yingyue took the coal that had been blowing in the yard all night into the kitchen to boil water and cook porridge.
The canteen in the family compound won't be open for a while, so she can't go there for breakfast and has to cook for herself.
Cook some plain porridge, and then boil two eggs.
It's breakfast.
Today, in the residential compound, it's safe to say that 99 out of 100 families are cooking porridge.
The main problem is that all the rice in the house was soaked, so it can only be used to make porridge.
And it wasn't just ordinary thin porridge; it was quite thick, and everyone was willing to use up the rice.
Just as Yingyue was breaking the coal into pieces, Huo Qing's voice came from outside, "Sister-in-law, you're up! Come and have breakfast. Brother Feng made breakfast before going to the camp."
Although Dou Chenfeng stayed home last night, he still went to work before dawn today, around four o'clock.
I made breakfast before leaving the house.
There's the wife's share, and there's also the sister-in-law's share.
After all, his sister-in-law had been taking care of his wife at home for the past two days, minimizing their losses to almost nothing. So it was only natural for Dou Chenfeng to prepare breakfast for Yingyue.
Not only does he have to cook it once, but he also has to make breakfast for his sister-in-law every time his older brother is not home.
With ready-made meals, Yingyue no longer needs to cook for herself.
She quickly gathered up the coal, washed her hands, closed the door, and went next door to have breakfast.
My sister's family also has porridge for breakfast, along with boiled eggs and stir-fried green beans.
It tastes great and is very nutritious.
Yingyue ate to her heart's content; indeed, food cooked by men is always better.
It's good to do everything and just wait for food to come in.
After she finished eating, she had to go to work at the hospital.
The floodwaters receded yesterday evening, and the hospital is very busy today.
Huo Qing also went out with her sister-in-law.
The two women walked from the street to the hospital, encountering many family members along the way. They were all very grateful to Yingyue and Huoqing.
Especially for the firefly moon.
The family members were so grateful they almost knelt down to thank Yingyue.
"If it weren't for Dr. Cheng notifying us in advance, we would be just like the comrades in the fishing village!"
The people who went missing from the fishing village have still not been found.
Honestly, people who go missing after natural disasters like this are almost never found again.
Not only were the people in the family compound aware of this, but the people in the fishing village were also well aware of it.
Therefore, families with missing members have also joined the village's reconstruction efforts, carrying their grief with them.
Yingyue didn't feel anything; she had simply done what she could.
They separated from their families and came to the hospital.
The hospital was also severely affected by the disaster.
Fortunately, they cleaned it up yesterday and carried out emergency disinfection, so it can now resume normal operation.
After a long day yesterday, everyone was a bit tired when they came to work this morning.
But there are still many things that need to be moved outside to dry, and they still have work to do.
