Chapter 232 Lightning
"Crack!"

Accompanied by strong winds, lightning flashed across the sky.

"Hey, luckily we have this earthquake-resistant shed, otherwise, in this heavy rain and wind, we would have nowhere to hide." He Yuzhu said.

"I saw they also set up a shed in the front yard, but I don't know what the food is like there." said Master Chen's family.

"As for us, no one can take care of us now. We can only take care of ourselves. There are so many people here, it's already difficult to have a hot meal, so how can we have the energy to take care of others?" said Master Chen.

"That's right, we all pooled all our supplies to get this little bit of stuff, but we can't help others," said He Yuzhu.

In fact, this is a very serious problem. When faced with such a disaster, each family would be lucky enough to be able to feed themselves and would have no intention of helping others.

Moreover, the current situation is that everyone cannot even protect themselves, so how can they guarantee others?

At that time, everyone ate fixed grain. You couldn’t just store grain at home if you wanted to. You had to have a ticket. This limited the amount of grain that could be stored.

In most cases these days, there was not enough food to eat, the rationed food was not enough to eat, let alone the stored food.

"Xiaodang, you and Huaihua should wrap yourself in blankets and don't run around." Qin Huairu called out to her own child.

"Mom, we didn't run around, we just wanted to see the heavy rain outside." Xiaodang said.

"Mom, it's rare to see such heavy rain." Huaihua said.

"Okay, just stay here and don't cause any trouble for us." Qin Huairu said.

"This earthquake-resistant shed has played a big role, otherwise we would all have to stand outside in the rain today." He Yuzhu said with a sigh.

"Yes, this shed has played a big role."

Everyone is very grateful for this earthquake-resistant shelter. If it weren't for it, we would have been caught in the rain today.

Of course, you can still go home and live, but who can guarantee the safety of your home?

This old house is so old, and if it encounters an earthquake and rain, who knows what problems will occur.

"You know what, I just took a look and my house is leaking. You should go back and take a look too, so that the house doesn't get soaked." He Yuzhu said.

"At this time, you still have the time to care about that. Let it leak a little. It's better than a collapse." Yi Zhonghai said.

"Our houses are all old, so it's normal for them to leak. Especially when there's an earthquake, cracks might appear, which would be troublesome," said Yang Zhenyu.

"No, I have to go back and take a look. I will feel uneasy if I don't take a look." Yang Zhenyu stood up and said.

"Hold the second one, I'll go take a look." Yang Zhenyu handed his second one to Zhou Qianqian and said.

"There's no need to go. It's raining so heavily. What if..." Zhou Qianqian said worriedly.

"No, I'll feel uneasy if I don't go and check it out." Yang Zhenyu said as he put on his raincoat. It was raining so heavily, a raincoat would be better.

"Let him go and have a look. You have so many books at home. It would be a shame if they got wet." Yi Zhonghai said.

"That's right, Zhenyu is different from us. We don't have much education, but Zhenyu has so many books, we can't waste them." He Yuzhu nodded.

Others may not know, but He Yuzhu knows that many of the books in Yang Zhenyu's home cannot be bought outside. If they are really wet, it would be a huge loss.

As for the source of the information, it is of course He Yushui.

He Yushui has taken classes at Yang Zhenyu's home for more than two years, and even now he still goes to Yang Zhenyu's home from time to time to borrow books.

"Okay, don't worry, it's nothing." Yang Zhenyu said and walked out.

Yang Zhenyu was of course worried about the books and the hand-drawn manuscripts. If they got wet, it would be troublesome.

"Zhenyu, what are you doing?" Yan Bugui spotted him when he first arrived at the front yard. "Teacher Yan? I'm going home to see him." Yang Zhenyu said with a smile.

"Don't go back in such heavy rain. What if..." Yan Bugui didn't say it explicitly, but his meaning was very clear.

"It's okay. If it was going to collapse, it would have collapsed a long time ago." Yang Zhenyu said.

Unlock the door and go back to the house, all in one go.

There is no electricity. With such heavy rain, power outage is inevitable.

Fortunately, there was a flashlight at home. Using the flashlight, Yang Zhenyu began to check the situation at home.

"Fortunately there is no leak." Yang Zhenyu breathed a sigh of relief.

This house had been repaired before, but we were afraid that it would collapse during an earthquake.

Fortunately, the repair effect was very good and no leaks occurred.

"Zhenyu, what's the situation at the Intermediate Court?" Seeing Yang Zhenyu coming out, Yan Bugui asked about the situation at the Intermediate Court.

"Fortunately, the earthquake-resistant shed is good and we were not exposed to the rain," said Yang Zhenyu.

"What about food? With so many people gathered together, eating is a problem. The grain stores on the street are not open now." Yan Bugui said.

"Well, why don't we all get together? We won't go hungry, right?" Yang Zhenyu said.

Even though it was raining in the central courtyard, everyone was able to gather food.

However, the situation was different in the front yard and the back yard. It was almost impossible for them to gather enough food.

The reason is very simple. They are not united. Even if they know that it is beneficial for everyone to concentrate their food, they may not be able to do so.

Because each family has its own calculations, especially Yan Bugui in the front yard, who is the most calculating in this regard.

"That's one way to do it. However, it's not easy to make a fire and cook in such heavy rain." Yan Bugui nodded.

"That's right. Fortunately, we made some preparations in advance, otherwise, eating would also be a problem." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

"Have you received any news? Where did the earthquake happen?" Yan Bugui asked.

"I heard on the radio that work has already begun in Tangshan, but I don't know the specific situation." Yang Zhenyu shook his head.

"It's not far from us." Yan Bugui nodded.

"Okay, everyone, just hold on for a while, it will be over soon." Yang Zhenyu said.

Not to mention each household, the factory is also carrying out disaster relief activities. Fortunately, the workshop is relatively stable, and some workers living in dormitories have set up earthquake-resistant tents in the factory.

"Engineer Yang, Engineer Yang."

Just when Yang Zhenyu wanted to go back to the Central Courtyard, a hurried figure came running outside.

"I'm here. What's wrong? What happened? Why are you so anxious?" Yang Zhenyu shouted.

"Engineer Yang, Director Yang asked for notification to hold an emergency meeting." the man shouted.

"Okay, I got it. Please wait a moment and I'll tell my family." Yang Zhenyu nodded.

I had already had a meeting during the day, but I didn’t expect to have another meeting in the evening.

After saying goodbye to his family, Yang Zhenyu took the factory car back to the factory.
