The nurses and caregivers were all excited and spoke louder without realizing it.
"Hey, how did she know it was so far away? And there was a real flood in that province. I heard from my relatives in the county committee that many dams in that area really did burst overnight, and then houses and everything were washed away. I wonder how many people died!"
"She said it, she said more than 20,000 people would die."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... More than 20,000 people? Oh my god, why do I feel this girl is so scary? I mean, she's the one who says everything. Otherwise, let's not talk about it anymore. It's scary."
Although several people said "stop talking", they actually continued to discuss the instigator of this strange incident - Yu Qiu.
While talking, he kept glancing at the independent, dark, iron-barred room next door.
A nurse lowered her voice and said, "Hey, what do you think? Could she really be a prophet as she says she is?"
Another nurse's eyes flashed: "If she is really a prophet, then last time she said that the Supreme Leader's... "
Someone immediately stopped him: "Shh! Don't say that, or someone might hear you."
Several people strangely stopped talking about the previous topic.
When someone else spoke up, it became, "Well, I think she's really amazing! How about we be nicer to her in the future? I mean, what if she knows something else and doesn't tell us?"
Several people looked at each other.
Someone said, "Ahem, that's what I mean. Last time I heard her say there would be a big earthquake. Otherwise, why don't we give her the injection tomorrow and ask her to tell us when the earthquake will happen?"
"Yes, yes, yes, let's ask the earthquake expert. If there really is an earthquake, we can hide!"
"How about I ask the cafeteria to add some meat to her tomorrow?"
"Can!"
The night in the mental hospital is quiet.
Yu Qiu, who was lying in the dark room, could hear everything being said outside clearly.
A strange smile appeared on her sallow face: I knew that these stupid people would be fooled one day, Yu Sui, just wait!
Yu Sui waited every day, and when the radio came on, she pricked up her ears to listen.
The news reports still maintained the mode of occasionally mentioning the disaster situation, which could not be compared with the later propaganda of "when one side is in trouble, all sides will support", so the TV stations would broadcast it around the clock.
Even so, Yu Sui still heard from the limited broadcasts that soldiers from the provincial military region were going to assist in disaster relief.
very nice.
As long as the troops are sent out to help, there is hope.
Even so, the disaster lasted for a long time, as later generations reported.
Yu Hemiao has been brought back from Shanghai, and disaster relief efforts in a certain province are still continuing.
Yu Hemiao had been to Shanghai after all, so she had heard the news. After returning home, she began to talk about what she had seen and heard in Shanghai, while also mentioning the disaster she had heard about:
"...They said they'd never seen anything so horrible. The water had receded a little, but the stench was everywhere. From a distance, a tree looked pitch black, and when they got closer, they saw it was covered in flies, practically bending over. Just imagine what that must have been like... Sigh!"
Both sisters expressed deep sympathy for the people of that place.
But Sun Yuying curled her lips and said, "Don't just talk about others. Our family is not much better. The harvest is not good, and there are many people feeding our family. We don't even have enough food for the rest of the year!"
Indeed, the province affected by the disaster is a major agricultural province, so the food supply of the entire country will be tight, and their members will also be affected.
Good thing Yu Sui has space.
The space cannot be spoken openly.
Yu Sui pretended to be proud and advised Sun Yuying: "Mom, why are you worried? Xia Linsheng said that when the time comes, he will give me all his food coupons. If there is not enough food at home, I will buy food at a negotiated price. Don't worry."
Yu Hemiao even quickly took out the money she had recently earned and gave it to Sun Yuying: "Mom, my second sister will provide the food coupons, and I'll provide the money. Look, I earned forty yuan, not a cent. Mom, I'll give it all to you."
Sun Yuying looked at her two daughters, raised her head and sighed: "Oh, look, it's so good to have daughters. I'm happy now, and I don't have to worry anymore. No matter how difficult the days are, as long as I have you, I'm happy."
Indeed, although life was difficult for most people, it was still easy for Yu Sui's family.
Xia Linsheng would write letters every few days. Yu Sui would pretend to pick up the letters and would bring some bacon and salted fish with her, saying they were from Xia Linsheng, or maybe from Sister Yan Zi.
Excuses are like a woman's breasts, if you squeeze them you'll always have more. Yu Sui's family life was smooth sailing.
In September, Yu Cheng packed his rice and quilt and went to the county to attend high school.
Yu Sui pretended to see him off, and as she left the village, she stuffed a portion of rice and pocket money that should have been given to Wang Sibao into Yu Cheng's pocket:
"Little brother, since you're studying, study hard. You've seen that if you stay at home and farm, a natural disaster will leave you with nothing."
Yu Cheng took care of his two nieces this summer, and he showed his sense of responsibility. He nodded and said, "I know, second sister, I will study hard. If I don't have any future, you, big sister, Lanlan and Xiaoxiao will all be bullied in the future. I will use my strength."
These words really touched Yu Sui.
Touched, she gave Yu Cheng another two yuan in pocket money: "Sister, I'm so happy to hear you say that. Here, take it. If your classmates buy something, don't be stingy, just buy it."
Yu Cheng held the money in his hand and looked at it, but didn't take it. Instead, he curled his lips and said, "Second sister, if I ever find a wife in the future, I will never find someone like you. You're such a spendthrift. You've probably squandered all of Xia Linsheng's money!"
Good boy! Yu Sui was so angry at what she said that she pulled up a cotton stalk from the field next to her and was about to hit Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng laughed and ran away with the quilt on his back.
Zhang Caifeng, who came from the commune, happened to see this scene and asked Yu Sui with a smile, "What's going on? Did you sisters finally kick your brother out of the house?"
This is a meme.
Because everyone in the production team laughed at Yu Haichao and Sun Yuying behind their backs, saying that they kept their married daughters at home and sent their son out to study in order to drive their son away.
Because other families would not do this, for example, Tang Zhaodi's family, they kicked out Tang Zhaodi, their divorced daughter, which made the family much less worried!
And Yu Cheng, he is so old now and could have gone to the fields to earn work points, but he still wants to spend money to go to school?
Everyone in Yu Haichao's family has problems.
Zhang Caifeng was probably the only one in the village who had never actually laughed at the Yu Sui family's abnormal behavior.
Yu Sui laughed when she thought of these jokes: "That's right, a domineering sister like us must do this."
Zhang Caifeng: "Well done! Boys should go out and see the world. I want to go out too!"
"Auntie is still clear-headed!" Yu Sui smiled and chatted with Zhang Caifeng for a while, and inevitably asked about her clothing factory situation: "How is it going now?"
