Chapter 378 Arrives as expected
"All right!"
Lin Ling'er fell asleep soon. She was indeed sleepy. It was because Li Jiayi was like a calf.
Despite this, Li Jiayi did not sleep. There was nothing he could do. He had something on his mind and could not sleep.
After finishing a cigarette, Li Jiayi got up from the bed and went downstairs.
Because he only knew it was July 7.28, but he didn't know the exact time. Even the fact that he remembered this date was because he heard it from others.
Because no matter what the matter is, only if you experience it yourself can you remember it clearly.
For example, Li Jiayi remembers May 5.12 very clearly, even the time and minute.
After opening the door, Li Jiayi came out of the house, looked up at the starry sky, and then came to the sun room.
Li Jiayi opened the glass door and walked in. It was now midnight and there was no heat in the sunroom.
It's the same even if the door is closed. Of course, there is no heat here, but the heat from the sun.
No matter what, it's still much hotter in here than in the house, mainly because it's not breathable!
Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye it was the second half of the night. Just when Li Jiayi was about to return to the house, he felt the ground shaking.
Li Jiayi shouted at the top of his voice: "It's an earthquake, everyone come out quickly."
Li Jiayi's voice was very loud, and it was night, so his voice basically woke up everyone in the yard, including the next yard.
After shouting, Li Jiayi ran into the house quickly. As soon as he entered, he saw his father and mother coming out of the house with clothes on.
He heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Mom and Dad, you guys go out first, I'll go upstairs to see Ling'er."
"Okay, you come out soon too."
"Ok!"
When his parents walked out, Li Jiayi hurried upstairs, but before he could go up, he saw Lin Linger walking downstairs.
Needless to say, it must have been his shout just now that woke Lin Ling'er up.
At this time, the house was shaking violently. Li Jiayi hurriedly went over to support Lin Linger and walked downstairs.
Soon the two men came outside the house and immediately heard the chattering sound in the entire Yard No. 7.
At the same time, there was a lot of commotion! Because the ground was still shaking, no one dared to run into the house.
At this time, everyone was shouting in the yard.
"Mom and Dad, are you okay?" Lin Ling'er quickly walked up to her mother and asked.
"Your dad and I are fine. How are you? Are you scared?" asked my mom.
"No." Lin Ling'er shook her head.
"That's good."
After a while, the earthquake stopped, and neither the ground nor the house shook anymore.
Li Jiayi took a look at his house and found nothing wrong with it. It seemed that the extra money spent on building the house was worth it.
To be honest, the main reason is that this place is not the center, otherwise it would be quite difficult.
Not only was there no problem with Li Jia's family's house, but there were no major problems with the entire No. 7 Courtyard.
This is because Courtyard No. 7 is a brick and tile structure courtyard house imitated from the Republic of China period, and is much sturdier than the old courtyard houses of the past.
But even so, except for theirs, other houses in the yard had suffered some damage.
"Mom and Dad, please stay in the sun room first. I'll go get some things from the house."
"Son, let's wait a little longer. There may be aftershocks soon." Dad said at this time.
"It's okay, Dad. There will be no problem with our house. For safety reasons, we will stay in the sun room for now."
"Well, be careful then."
"Ok!"
When Li Jiayi returned to the house, he first moved out the beds from his eldest and second sister's rooms.
This is not a matter of one or two days, it may take four or five days, or even more than a week.
Now my eldest and second sisters are married, but the beds in their rooms have not been taken down and are now in perfect use.
The beds in this room are two 1.2-meter beds placed together. Because the stove is used in the room in winter, there is no kang. Unexpectedly, it comes in handy now.
Two 1.2-meter beds are enough to accommodate them. Besides, there will be more than just their family living in this sun room! I guess the women will live together and the men will live together.
After putting the bed into the sunroom, Li Jiayi hurriedly took out some clothes, bedding and other things.
Then he took out some food, meat, vegetables and other things, and finally moved out the TV.
There is electricity in the sun room! It is expected to rain heavily during the day, so I can watch TV in it to kill time.
"Mom and Dad, is there anything else that needs to be taken out?" Li Jiayi asked.
"The son is gone." Mom looked at him and said.
In fact, there were other things that needed to be taken out, such as their cash box, but my mother thought about it and decided not to, as the cash box was not afraid of being damaged.
At this time, He Yuzhu came over with his family.
"Uncle, aunt." He Yuzhu greeted them hurriedly.
"Yeah! How are you guys? Are you hurt?"
"No."
"That's good."
"Uncle, I want the old lady and the child to stay in your shed first. I'm afraid they will catch a cold."
"no problem!"
"Thank you."
"Why are you being so polite, kid?" said my mother.
"Brother Zhuzi, there will be heavy rain after the earthquake. You should see if there is anything you need to take out. Go and get it now. We can make do in the sun room."
"Ah! Is this true?"
He Yuzhu just felt that the weather seemed to be getting colder, so he thought of coming over to let the old lady and the children stay in the sunroom, and he didn't think about rain.
"Of course it's true. It would be best to find a way to set up a temporary stove in the sun room so we can cook when the time comes."
"How about this, Jiayi. I'll go call Nan Yi and Liao Kai over. Your sunroom is big enough and should be able to accommodate so many people."
He Yuzhu knew very well that even if he didn't say it, Li Jiayi would call Liao Kai's family and Nan Yi's family over.
When they come over, we can discuss together how to clean up, and it will be much faster if there are more people.
"Okay! I'll go call them! You go back and pack your things first."
"also."
When He Yuzhu went back to pack his things, Li Jiayi hurried over to call Liao Kai, Nan Yi and the others over.
Liang Ladi is indeed a person who knows how to live, and she had already moved out all the food and other things.
Now I’m here and we’ve moved here together.
"Plus one! You really built this sunroom at the right time. It's coming in handy now."
Li Jiayi looked back at the sunroom. To be honest, he was afraid of this when he was building it, so the bricks and cement underneath were particularly thick.
Now that the earthquake is over, there is not even a crack left, and there are no problems above.
"Okay, let's stop talking for now. It's a bit cold outside now. Let the elderly and children go to the sunroom first." Mom said at this time.
"Yeah."
More people means more work! With the addition of Liao Kai and Nan Yi, the sun room was almost tidied up soon. Li Jiayi moved the bed in vain, because it was moved back, and the sun room was made of wooden squares.
And it has been waterproofed, so there is no need to use a bed at all. It is summer now and every household has a mat.
So, I took out all the mats in the house and quickly laid them out at both ends of the sunroom.
A piece of open space is left in the middle, which can not only be used to build a temporary stove, but also to place a table for eating.
By the time they finished cleaning up the sunroom, it was already daybreak.
"Mom and Dad, I'm going to visit my master's house." Li Jiayi said at this time.
"Yeah! Go ahead!"
As for why I didn’t go to my eldest and second sisters’ house, it was because there was no need.
Whether it is the eldest sister's family or the second sister's family, they all live in buildings. They are not the kind of tube-shaped buildings, but real buildings.
For reinforced concrete structures, this kind of earthquake cannot cause any damage at all.
Li Jiayi came out of the cross-yard and found that there were many sheds built in the yard. It seems that there are still smart people there!
Arriving outside the No. 7 Courtyard, Li Jiayi opened the door of the jeep, got in, started the car, and then drove to his master's house.
Master’s house wasn’t far away, and it didn’t take long to get there.
Along the way, Li Jiayi also saw some houses collapsed, which was normal because many houses were in disrepair.
Of course, there are makeshift sheds built everywhere, some even on the road.
When he arrived at his master's house, he saw that the door was closed, so Li Jiayi hurriedly got out of the car and knocked on the door.
"coming."
Soon the door opened and the master appeared before him.
Now my elder and younger sisters have gotten married, leaving only my master and his wife here.
"Hey, why are you here?" The master asked when he saw it was him.
"I came to see you and Master's wife."
"What's so good about us?" The master shook his head and let him in.
When Li Jiayi arrived at the yard, he was speechless and felt that his trip was in vain.
Because a shed had been built in the yard, and there was a bed in the shed.
The master's wife was sitting on the bed at this time. It seemed that the master had also made preparations in advance. Of course, this was referring to the preparation for rain after the earthquake.
"Master, your shed has already been built! I said I would come over to help you build it!"
"Come on! By the time you get here, the daylily will be cold."
"Jiayi is here, come over and have some tea." The master's wife said as she lifted the plastic sheet blocking the door.
"No need, Master's wife. I'm not thirsty. I'm relieved to see that you and Master are fine. I have to go back quickly, otherwise my mother will be worried."
"Then you kid should go back quickly and don't let your parents worry." said the master.
"Well! Master and Madam, I will go back first and come back to see you later."
"You don't need to come and see us. You don't need to worry about us here. We have everything to eat. Even if you live in a shed for ten days or half a month, it's no problem."
"Ok!"
After leaving his master's house, Li Jiayi thought for a while and then drove to his eldest sister's house to take a look.
When he arrived at his eldest sister's house, he saw that no one came out and there was no problem with the building, so he did not go in.
Then he went to his second sister's house to check, and found that it was the same as his eldest sister's house. Only then did Li Jiayi feel completely relieved.
When Li Jiayi returned home, the entire No. 7 Courtyard was full of makeshift sheds.
He even suspected that if he came back a little later, cars might not be able to get in. There was nothing he could do as there were too many people on the street.
"Son, is there any problem with your master?" Mom asked when she saw him come back.
"No problem, no problem at all. When I went there, Master had already set up a shed in the yard."
"That's good."
"By the way, I went to check on my eldest and second sisters, and there was no one downstairs."
"Don't worry about your elder sister and second sister. The houses they live in are newly built buildings, so there will definitely be no problem."
"Ok!"
As we were talking, it started to drizzle.
"Come into the sunroom, it's raining."
"it is good."
Just as a few people came in, heavy raindrops began to fall, making crackling sounds on the sunroom.
Of course, the sound heard inside is not loud, mainly because the glass is thick enough. The glass is 1.2 centimeters thick, so you can hardly hear any loud sound inside.
After it started raining, the weather began to turn cooler. It was not as cool as it was at the beginning, it could even be described as cold.
Fortunately, we didn’t have this feeling in the sunroom, and everyone was still wearing light clothes.
But people outside were not so comfortable. Even if they stayed in the shed, they still felt a bit cold.
Not to mention those who didn't build a shed.
There is nothing anyone can do about this. Although Li Jiayi's sunroom is very large, there are already so many people in it, and it is impossible to let anyone in.
Looking at the sky outside, Lin Linger said, "I wonder what's going on in Lijia Village?"
Li Jiayi held her hand and said, "Don't worry about this. There will be absolutely no problem."
"Ok!"
Nowadays, many families in Lijia Village have built new houses, and even the old houses have basically been renovated, so there will definitely be no problems.
Of course, he also knew that Lin Ling'er was worried about the children.
In fact, there is no need at all. Not to mention that the earthquake happened at night, there would be no problem even if it happened during the day, because the classrooms are all newly built.
The children live with his parents-in-law, and the house they live in is also a new one.
This was a house that Li Jiayi specially had built. Although it was half brick and tile house, it was no less sturdy than a full brick and tile house.
It was soon noon and my mother started to arrange for Liao Kai and the others to cook.
No matter what, we still have to eat, and fortunately their family has no shortage of ingredients.
Time passed day by day. Li Jiayi originally thought that the work would be finished in three to five days, but he did not expect that it would take more than a week before he received the notice.
At this time, the sky happened to clear up. Yes, the rain lasted for more than a week.
After the rain stopped, Li Jiayi rushed to the factory as soon as possible. There was no other way, as he was now the director of the logistics department!
The factory must have suffered heavy losses in this earthquake, and he would be needed to allocate supplies whether it was for reconstruction or repairs.
Sure enough, there wasn't much to do in the morning, but in the afternoon, the entire logistics department came to him with notes.
After working for three days, Li Jiayi finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the matter was over.
Fortunately, the losses of the woolen mill were not very large. Of course, even if they were large, it would not have much impact on Li Jiayi, after all, it was a natural disaster.
A lot of supplies were allocated, but these were used to build the factory and cannot be considered a loss.
