Chapter 245 Earthquake
On the 28th, in the early morning, the ground shook.
A big earthquake is coming!
Chen Tao was well prepared, picked up Miss Xue and ran outside the house.
When Miss Xue woke up, Chen Tao rushed into the house again and went to the east room to take out the three children.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai also came out, together with Qin Jingru and his son Yi Guoqing.
"Lao He! This is an earthquake!"
"Yes, we need to get everyone out quickly."
After Chen Tao finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly:
"There's an earthquake! Everyone, come out quickly!"
When the roar was repeated for the second time, the five members of the Jia family rushed out.
Immediately afterwards, half of the brick wall on the south side of their house collapsed with a bang.
Of course, I couldn't care less about this at this time.
Three minutes later.
Everyone in the Intermediate Court gathered around, and while still in shock, Yi Zhonghai put forward suggestions for disaster prevention.
"Everyone, listen up! There are often aftershocks after earthquakes. Don't go into the house casually. The weather may also change, and we have to build an earthquake shelter! I know that each of you has wood, which was saved when the air-raid shelters were dug. Don’t be reluctant to part with it now, take it all out!”
After saying that, he looked at Chen Tao.
Chen Tao nodded in agreement: "You are right. I think it may rain in the next few days. If you don't build a shed, you won't be able to survive these days!"
Silly Zhu agreed: "That's right! No one cares about wood, so everyone should hurry up!"
After hearing these words, everyone agreed to build an earthquake tent.
So, with everyone's mutual help, when the sky turned white, everyone lived in their own sheds without crowding into the "Datongpu".
Because Chen Tao didn't want to be crowded together with everyone, so as not to inconvenience Miss Xue and the children would not have a good rest.
The same is true for Yi Zhonghai.
For the sake of his wife, children, and his ex-wife in the backyard, he also built a separate shed.
With their two leaders taking the lead, the neighbors who originally wanted to spare some wood and made do with it also changed their minds and decided to live their own lives.
"Mom I want to drink soda!"
The third child hugged his mother's neck and cooed softly.
"It's not safe to enter the house right now. Can you wait a few days before drinking again?"
Miss Xue was a little embarrassed.
"good."
The third child did not embarrass his mother.
Miss Xue pinched her son's cute little round face, her heart full of tenderness.
Chen Tao chuckled, took out a bottle of soda from the box, and opened it with a "chi" sound.
"dad!"
The third child immediately let go of his mother and pounced on Chen Tao.
Miss Xue was speechless.
Fortunately, the third child was very sensible. After getting the soda, he handed it to his mother:
"Mom, drink first"
Miss Xue was so moved that she burst into tears.
Chen Tao opened two more bottles and handed them to the boss and second child.
After the boss took it, he took a big gulp and then suggested: "Dad, let's go fishing, okay?"
When Miss Xue heard this, she immediately pulled him into her arms, spanked his buttocks and said:
"I'll let you go! I'll let you go! How long has it been? Are you still thinking about fishing?"
The boss obviously didn’t feel any pain or itching, but he still begged for mercy:
"Mom I was wrong, please forgive me once!"
Miss Xue was not really angry, but was amused by the boss's mischievous expression, so she couldn't hold it back and slapped him hard on the face.
As expected, the boss also wiped his face and said with disgust: "It's so disgusting, the saliva is all on my face."
You actually said I was disgusting? I don’t eat like Jia Zhang’s...
Miss Xue raised her hand again and continued to educate her eldest son.
At this moment, raindrops began to float in the sky, and soon it turned into a downpour.
The people in the compound were fine, but the people outside who didn't have a shed were like losers.
Of course, there are also those who are not afraid of death and return to their own homes.
These "heroes" do not include the few children of the Yan family who left the compound.
That is, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi.
Towards evening, when the rain stopped, Yan Jiefang took his brother, sister and their families to the front yard to tear down the shed built by Yan Bugui and others.
Why?
The wood used to build the shed was brought back one by one by Yan Jiefang and his three brothers and sisters from outside.
There is nothing wrong with returning the property to its original owner.
Moreover, Yan Bugui also taught them by words and deeds. The so-called law of life is to be happy with your wealth; accumulate wealth first and enjoy it later; don't be greedy for other people's money; don't give your own wealth to others...
And the third aunt also said that you spend your own money, and you have to eat the bitter fruits you sow!
In this case, why should Yan Jiefang be polite to his parents? Just tear it down and be done with it.
Yan Bugui was so helpless that he could only watch his children carry the wood and walk away...
***
Middle Court.
Chen Tao has already prepared dinner.
Although the conditions at home are very good and we can buy more food, it is hot in summer and it is not easy to store.
Therefore, Chen Tao prepared a lot of eggs in advance to ensure his nutritional intake in the past few days.
And with just eggs, Chen Tao can also play with flowers and make many delicacies.
For example, Miss Xue especially likes to eat omelets.
Another example is the sweet and sour tomato scrambled eggs that children love.
The family of five was eating when Yan Bugui came over with the people in the front yard holding a recently bought TV.
They are homeless and want to squeeze in the courtyard or backyard.
Otherwise, if it rains again, they will all get wet.
But when Yan Bugui saw that each house in the middle courtyard lived in different houses, his heart suddenly dropped.
This reaction is normal.
Because if it was a "Datongpu", then his chances of seeking shelter would definitely be greater.
"Lao Yi..."
Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and came outside Yi Zhonghai's shed.
"What's going on here?"
Yi Zhonghai asked puzzledly.
Yan Bugui was a little embarrassed: "I can't say it."
A neighbor said on his behalf: "Master, you don't know, just now his second son, Yan Jiefang, came over with his wife, brother, sister, and brother-in-law, demolished our shed and took away all the wood! "
Yi Zhonghai was surprised: "Why?"
The neighbor said helplessly: "This wood belongs to someone else. People can tear it down if they want, and take it away if they want. There's nothing they can do to stop it!"
Upon hearing this, people in the front yard started to curse, saying that Yan Jiefang was too shameless.
Otherwise, this is a yard full of beasts!
Obviously these pieces of wood belong to Yan Jiefang. Isn't it natural for them to take them away?
But the people in this compound are unreasonable.
As long as the interests are harmed, no matter whether you are justified or not, you will be scolded.
Of course, since they are all animals, they don’t care whether they get scolded or not!
Yi Zhonghai sighed: "I went to the street meeting in the afternoon. It said that everyone should have a place to live. So you can see for yourself and see which family has fewer families and can accommodate you. You can live there!"
In the past, Yi Zhonghai would definitely mobilize everyone, even set an example by taking in the neighbors in the front yard, and maintain his moral model character, but forget it now!
The shed he built was not big, just big enough for him, his wife, children and Aunt Yi to live in. There was really no room for others.
After all, he can't let his wife and children sleep sitting up!
The child is his life, and he cannot bear the slightest grievance!
And in this way, every household thinks so and has this excuse...
Except Silly Pillar.
But Shazhu’s shed is not big, so even if he is very willing, he can’t accept many people!
Seeing that the people in the middle courtyard refused to give in, they were all acting like animals and being selfish. The people in the front courtyard had no choice but to go to the backyard.
Are the beasts in the backyard willing to give in?
Nor would he.
Especially represented by Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong.
The former built a big shed, but he would rather drink wine and enjoy the rain alone than accept others. Instead, he was happy to watch other people's jokes.
As a seventh-level fitter, the latter built a very good shed, but he also would not accept others.
Isn't it good to lie down and sleep comfortably?
Why be a good person and let yourself suffer?
Yan Bugui and others left the backyard dejectedly and came to Chen Tao's shed.
Of course they didn't want to squeeze in, but wanted to ask Chen Tao to come forward and mobilize everyone to help.
"Lao Yan, I have also seen that you are indeed in difficulty. But such difficulties can be overcome. Can't you build a shed without wood? You can go back and look for some bamboo, and you can build it too. Shed. If you really can't find enough bamboo, you can also dismantle the bed boards and put them back together. It just takes a little more effort and nails, right? Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. Go back and get it done soon. , otherwise if there is a power outage at night, you will have to use more batteries!"
After hearing Chen Tao's words, Yan Bugui said immediately:
"I'll provide the flashlight, but which one of you will provide the bed board?"
When the neighbor heard this, he immediately lost his temper and said:
"You can keep it for yourself! Let's each take down our own bed, each build our own shed, each eat our own food, and each use our own flashlight!"
As soon as he said this, the entire middle courtyard was filled with happy air.
Alas, what a harmonious and friendly compound, why the hell did it become like this!
night.
Xiaodang took his sister Huaihua to Chen Tao's shed.
watch TV.
Due to the rain, other neighbors could not come over and could only listen to the sound and chat.
Qin Huairu went to Shazhu's shed to talk to him.
Silly Zhu suggested: "My dad's twelve-inch TV is really good. How about we buy one too? A nine-inch one will do, and it only costs two hundred and ninety-six."
Qin Huairu spread her hands: "Where's the money?"
Silly Zhu smiled and said: "Isn't the money with you? It's all your salary."
Qin Huairu's expression changed: "No money."
Silly Zhu said helplessly: "Are you too unreasonable? I live alone, why can't I spend some money to buy a TV for entertainment?"
Qin Huairu said dissatisfied: "All the money has been saved! Now I'm looking at Banggeng and I'm going to find someone to start a family with, my two daughters are going to get married, and the house needs to be repaired... Don't spend this money indiscriminately!"
I'm not married yet, so I have to marry them?
Silly Zhu was a little dissatisfied, but he did not say such harsh words, but complained:
"I am my wife, and my money is gone? I shouldn't let you take care of this!"
"Do you regret it?"
Qin Huairu was confident.
"My intestines are so full of regret!"
Silly Zhu was in a complicated mood.
"There's no point regretting it, it's too late!"
After saying that, Qin Huairu stood up, patted Silly Zhu and said, "You go to bed early, I'll go find Xiaodang and the others."
Looking at her leaving figure, Shazhu sighed quietly.
I thought it was a good thing that I took on private jobs and had private money!
