"Needless to say, I'll find your eldest sister." Old man Zhou made the final decision.

Zhou Wenbin had no choice but to comply. Ask the villager with a mobile phone to call your sister. Unexpectedly, the phone couldn't get through, probably because the phone line was broken and somehow. My niece's phone was turned off again.

"It won't be deliberately turned off, I'm afraid that so many of us will rush over." Cai Mingzhu hugged his son, who was finally coaxed, and said sourly. The eldest sister is also capable of this, she doesn't take advantage of you, but she doesn't want you to take advantage of it. The daughters of the Zhou family are not fuel-efficient lamps.

Zhou Wenbin glared at his daughter-in-law, turned around and asked his father: "Dad, the phone at the eldest sister's house can't get through." ”

Old man Zhou sighed: "What about Ning Fen?" Can you get through? If you get through, let her find a way to send us a few quilts, it's not a way to freeze like this. ”

In the same town, there is a telephone line, Zhou Caifen's family can't get through, and Zhou Ningfen's family naturally can't get through. However, Zhou Ningfen's husband, that is, Zhou Wenbin's brother-in-law's mobile phone, was connected.

Zhou Wenbin hurriedly talked about his current situation, and finally said: "Brother-in-law, taking advantage of the wind and rain at this time, can you send us two quilts?" Our house is flooded, and I don't know when I can retreat, and I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't bring anything except Yangyang's small schoolbag......"

Jiang Xinguo answered a few times, hung up the phone and said to Zhou Ningfen with a nose that is not a nose and a face that is not a face: "Those people in your family are really brainless, they fled out of the flood and didn't even pack their luggage, and asked me to send it, so windy and rainy." I don't want to send it! What's the matter if you get scraped by a tree branch or smashed by a signboard? ”

Zhou Ningfen was originally worried about the safety of her parents, but now when she heard that they were placed in the town hall, her hanging heart fell to the ground. I also heard from my husband that my brother asked them to ask for quilts and food. I don't feel very comfortable, the eldest sister's house lives closer to the Great Hall, why don't you find the eldest sister to find herself? But in the end, it's my father, my mother, and my brother, so if you don't call, you can ignore it.

Although there is a small bread at home, she can't drive, so she can only beg her husband to run. Who knows that Jiang Xinguo is willing to take this risk.

Zhou Ningfen cried: "Do you have a conscience?" Yes? That's your father-in-law and mother-in-law. Watching them starve and freeze? If you were your mom and dad, you would have gone without saying a word, and in the end, you still didn't treat my mom and dad as ......"

Jiang Xinguo roared back angrily: "Change my parents? In the case of my mom and dad, they would rather starve and freeze themselves than let me take this risk! ”

"Isn't the wind and rain light now? How can it be as serious as you say? Big deal, I'll go with you. See what happens......"

"Whew! It's really long hair and short knowledge, do you think it's okay when the wind and rain are small? If you go outside, the trees in the community are all lying down, how can you drive on the blocked road? Shall I go down and move away? And that's just the community. Who knows what the road outside has become. Your brother himself said that the half of the villages behind Zhoujia Village were all flooded, and maybe it had flooded the main road at this time, and the car broke down in the middle of the drive. …… It's better for them to hide in the Great Hall and ask me to drive them, so they can get it themselves......"

The two quarreled more and more, and finally evolved into a husband and wife fight.

Zhou Ningfen's in-laws said it nicely. But between the lines, I was still worried about my son, so this quarrel lasted to the end. didn't come up with a conclusion, Zhou Ningfen had to wipe her tears and call her younger brother: "Ah Bin, the road in our community is blocked by a fallen tree trunk, and the car can't drive out, don't you want to think of other ways, isn't the eldest sister's house closer to the Great Hall?" Why don't you ask the eldest sister to borrow a few beds......"

Zhou Wenbin hung up the phone in disappointment.

Looking back at the family members whose lips were purple and their faces were blue from the cold, and then looking at the other people's homes who had escaped from the same light, they had all contacted relatives and friends nearby, and were happily waiting for the other party to pick up or send the quilt to eat......

Zhou Wenbin wiped his face deeply, and said in his heart that he should be thick-skinned and ask the second sister in the city for help, the news of the typhoon last night was the first one his second sister to call to remind him, and he only blamed him for not listening to it at the time, his daughter-in-law was there and broke his mouth, and he also complained, otherwise he would not have escaped without any preparation. But now it's too late to regret it, so I can only find a way to get through this difficulty.

Zhou Wenbin racked his brains to recall the phone number of the second sister's house, but he couldn't remember it, and asked his parents and daughter-in-law, but they all said that they didn't know, who asked them to rarely take the initiative to contact the second child, and even if they did, they asked the second child to come back to pay for it, or go to the city to see a doctor and let the second child help register, and basically ignored it at other times. I had to give up.

Fortunately, it was said on the radio that there were many armed police officers and soldiers in the town, and they also brought a lot of disaster relief materials. I had to wait for the officers and soldiers to come to the rescue.

Zhou Caifen's side, the landline phone really couldn't go out, I don't know if the phone line was blown off or what, but Zhang Yan's mobile phone is actually easy to use, but I saw that many relatives from the countryside came to the opposite door, and I thought that my grandparents and grandmothers also called for help, so I deliberately turned off my mobile phone, and I didn't tell my parents about it.

Now that she has a child, the clutter at home is piling up more and more, and it is too crowded to come to visit, not to mention that she has to stay for a few days when she comes. Grandparents, uncles and aunts, plus a little nephew, such a small house, where can so many people settle down, simply turn off the phone and don't answer the phone, trying it to be quiet.

Besides, if my grandmother's house is really uninhabitable, isn't there a second aunt who lives in the city? The second aunt's house is a lot, twice as big as her own house, so if you have difficulties, go to the second aunt.

In the final analysis, Zhang Yan is still worried that the wedding gift given by He's mother is not big enough.

What happened at Meilong Bridge, of course, the He family did not know. Mother He took turns to make several phone calls but couldn't get through, and she was anxious, but the news didn't say anything about the collapse of the houses in the Meilong Bridge area, so she was persuaded by her daughter, and she was temporarily let go.

It wasn't until noon that a large family sat around the table eating dumplings and listened to the radio say that the armed police officers and soldiers were comforting the people affected by the disaster at Meilong Bridge and brought a dry amount of disaster relief materials, that they finally learned some information about Meilong Bridge. I also listened to the radio and said that there were no casualties. Only some villages were flooded, and the affected people are now housed in the town hall and relief supplies have been distributed. At the end of the day, a hotline for the City Hall was announced, presumably in the hope that enthusiastic citizens would donate money and materials.

So He's mother dialed the phone number and finally got in touch with her mother's family.

Unfortunately, Zhou Wenbin happened to line up to receive supplies, and it was Cai Mingzhu who was called to answer the phone.

Cai Mingzhu said to He Mu in a weird way: "Yo, second sister, you came here with time, right?" When our family is worried about eating and drinking, and afraid of the cold. Why don't you call and care? You don't need it now, just keep the little things in your house, we're very good here. With that, he hung up the phone.

Mother He's eyes were red with anger. said to Father He: "In the future, I don't care about the affairs of the Zhou family anymore!" ”

"Okay, okay, let's not care, let's take care of our own little family." Father He couldn't see his daughter-in-law wipe her tears. Hurriedly persuaded: "Look at you." At such an age, I returned the golden beans, and I was not even as good as my daughter, I was not afraid of being laughed at, and there were still guests at home......"

Mother He pinched her husband's waist with tears in her eyes, went to the bathroom to wash her face, and then went to the kitchen with her head held high to figure out what to eat at night.

This is not a big family, although the family has stocked up a lot of goods, but the bad weather does not know when it will end. You have to save it, but you can't go without it. So you need to think about it, you need to plan, and see how you can eat more than one match.

Besides, dinner must not be advanced if the power goes out, otherwise the black light will be so boring. There are candles, but the light is flickering, and the key is that it is not bright enough. What's more, so many people are eating around, and you have to light a few candles; As for the energy-saving lamps that are fully charged in advance, they are prepared for urgent use, and they cannot be wasted unless they are absolutely necessary. So He Mu summed up a sentence: the power went out and the meal was opened early, and after eating, everyone chatted with the dim candle flame for a while, and then went to bed early and pulled it down.

As for her mother's family, it's good to be sure it's safe, and she doesn't have the energy to take care of anything else, and no one lacks her care. On the girl's side, I have to talk to her, so that she doesn't worry.

So, Mother He was in the kitchen and remotely commanded Father He to call his daughter: "While the phone is still on, you hurry up and talk to Weiwei, just say that her grandmother's house is fine, let her stop worrying about it, just take care of yourself." ”

He Wei heard that her grandmother's house was fine, the house was flooded, but everyone escaped, and now they were all placed in the Meilongqiao City Hall, with disaster relief materials brought by armed police officers and soldiers, enough to live for three days, and after three days, the typhoon should finally stop. Then I'll help out.

Father He concisely conveyed his wife's will, and told his daughter a few words before hanging.

He Wei held her phone in thought.

"What do you think?" He Qingdong cleaned up the kitchen, sat down and asked, "Didn't you say Dad's phone?" ”

"Huh? Oh, it was my father who called, saying that my grandmother's family had been contacted, and that they had fled to the town's assembly hall because of the flooding of their home. ”

"Then you should be relieved, why are you still in a daze?" He Qingdong smiled and raised his hand to flick it on her forehead.

He Wei exhaled and rubbed her forehead painfully: "I just thought, I will never say anything like 'coming to the typhoon is cool' in the future, the tail of the typhoon is cool, but the place that was really hit by the typhoon was still quite badly affected." You see, even my grandmother's house has been affected, and you can imagine that you can imagine it over there......"

Thinking of the flood-stricken scenes she had seen on the TV news, He Wei asked in a muffled voice: "What do you think we can do?" Do you want to make a donation? ”

"There is no urgency in this matter, after the typhoon, the government will definitely organize." He Qingdong rubbed her head, and saw that the little cousin was hiding in the study to play on the computer, so he gave him thirty-two likes in his heart, pulled Xiao Nizi into his arms, bowed his head and kissed her: "If you don't worry, let's donate it ourselves." ”

"Huh?" He Wei was dumbfounded, where did she say that she was not at ease, she was just half a beat slow to react, but, "What do you mean by donating yourself?" ”

"I've watched the news all morning, isn't Chonglin the hardest hit area? At that time, we will buy some supplies and send them over, even if we don't go, we will send trustworthy people to pick out the families who have been particularly affected by the disaster, and do not go through any intermediary agencies, so as not to worry about being deducted......"

"That's a good idea!" Without waiting for He Qingdong to finish speaking, Yuan Yuan poked his head out of the study, "I agree!" Count me in! ”

He Qingdong glanced at him angrily: "How much pocket money do you have?" This is no better than your school organization donation, ten or twenty yuan. ”

This kid! I just said that he was interested in it, and praised him, and he had been listening to the corner for a long time, but fortunately he didn't do anything in the living room, otherwise it would be ......

Yuanyuan puffed up his chest proudly: "Boss, don't underestimate me, I have saved a lot of pocket money, I don't believe you ask my sister." ”

"Your sister is not your mother, it doesn't matter how much pocket money you have saved." He Qingdong became more and more angry, as if his daughter-in-law was someone else's housekeeper.

"Because I let my sister help me trade stocks with all my pocket money, of course she knows." Yuan Yuan jumped to the living room excitedly, he hadn't looked at the stock account for a long time, and when he remembered it, he urged He Wei to open his hand: "Sister, let the boss see how much pocket money I have, you don't believe me......"

He Wei shook her head and smiled helplessly, but she still clicked on the stock trading software at the request of the two.

Seeing the string of one, two, three, four, five, and six digits in his account, and it was still a bright 5, Yuan Yuan bared his teeth at his boss: "What's the matter?" I'm not lying, can I get my share in donating directly? ”

He Qingdong teased his ears funny: "You can do it, you have saved so much private money quietly, do you know that uncle and aunt?" ”

"Of course...... I don't know. Yuanyuan's face fell, and then he begged with a bitter face: "Boss, can't you tell them, I said that the designation was confiscated by my mother." I've been saving pocket money for more than ten years, and it's because I asked my sister to help me speculate in stocks, so much more, in fact, it was just a little bit before, my sister said that I can't tell my family, otherwise I won't help me speculate, because stock speculation is risky, and investment needs to be cautious, so you can't say it outside, boss, you know, boss, boss, you should say it......"

He Qingdong couldn't cry or laugh when he heard him: "Okay, when did I say I was going to tell your parents?" The eyes of the heart have to be like something. Just keep your mouth in prison yourself, don't sell your sister. ”

"I won't!" Yuan Yuan smiled at He Wei flatteringly: "Yes, sister?" ”

"Yes!" He Wei pursed her lips and smiled cooperatively.

He Qingdong stretched out his long legs and kicked away his little cousin, his eyes signaling him to stay where it was cool, don't hinder him from falling in love with his baby daughter-in-law.

Yuan Yuan walked back to the study step by step, and repeatedly emphasized: "The boss said okay, if you go to Chonglin County, remember to call me." I haven't been to Chonglin yet, and the blue crabs there are said to be delicious......"

He Qingdong and He Wei looked at each other powerlessly, and a sentence flashed in their hearts: This foodie! (To be continued.) )
