The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 78 Earthquake
Day by day, Wang Gang's life tended to be ordinary, working in the factory in a stable manner, earning some extra money occasionally, and cooperating with Zhao Zihao much less, time soon came to 76 years.

This year, many major events happened in the country. At the beginning of the year, a great man passed away, and Wang Gang took his wife and children along the street to send them off.

For the death of a great man, Wang Gang still has great feelings.

This giant who devoted his whole life to the country really did his best and died.

After the great man left, the country fell into grief, but the lives of the common people still had to go on.

Wang Gang knows that the country will also usher in the most vigorous 40 years.

But all this is still far away from Wang Gang, and he continues to live his own life with one-third of an acre of land.

Niu Meilan stayed in the hospital for three months, and then went home to recuperate. This operation had a great impact on her. Zhao Zihao said nothing to let her show up in public again, and just concentrate on recuperating at home and doing housework.

Zhao Zihao didn't do any more smuggling business anymore. After listening to Wang Gang's advice, he usually did some small business in Pigeon Market, earning 70 yuan a month to barely support his family.

Wang Gang didn't collect Daxing pears anymore, at most he went to the countryside to collect some local specialties to earn a little pocket money.

The black market has become more and more loose in the past two years, and the streets have been left alone, so there is basically no risk.

Wang Gang's son, Wang Yan, has always been taken care of by Li Shufen. During the day, the couple go to work, and take their son back to their house after get off work.

On normal rest days, He Yuzhu's family would also come to get together, and sometimes Wang Gang's family would also go to the courtyard to take care of the two rooms.

The relationship between the two families is as good as ever, but they inevitably have a lot of troubles with their neighbors.

He Yuzhu's family still lives in the compound, and they have a better relationship with their neighbors.

Since Wang Gang moved, every time he went back to the courtyard, he greeted neighbors politely without saying a word.

The situation of Jia's family is still the same. Qin Huairu has never come back, and he can't continue his studies in junior high school, so he can only respond to the call to go to the countryside.

After the stick left, Jia Zhang's eccentricity got better, and the two granddaughters finally had enough to eat without having to beg for food.

The third grandpa Yan Bugui has retired, but the family is still so calculating, and the relationship with the children is getting more and more indifferent.

As the children grew up one by one, their jobs were stable, and they got married, they gradually moved out of the compound.

In the end, Yan Bugui ended up in the same fate as Liu Haizhong, the old couple lived alone in a large courtyard, and only appeared when their children had no money to use.

Yi Zhonghai's life was much easier, and finally he was able to live a peaceful life for a few days.

Wang Gang also wondered why Yi Zhonghai didn't leave Sijiu City.

Later, it was Li Shufen who solved his doubts.

It was the second birthday of Wang Gang's son, and Li Shufen proposed to move back to the courtyard.

Li Shufen said that when people are old, the only thing they want is to return to their roots, even if they die, they will die in their own place.

As Wang Yan grew up, he could be placed in the nursery in the factory, and he didn't need to keep people around all the time. Li Shufen wanted to go back to her own home in Dazayuan.

He Yushui didn't agree, and insisted on letting Li Shufen stay, and promised to give her a pension.

Because of this, the family almost had a quarrel.

"Yu Shui, I know you are filial and treat me like your own mother, but I can walk and run, and I don't need you to take care of me."

Li Shufen took He Yushui's hand and spoke her mind.

"I used to help you take care of your children, so I had the audacity to live in your house. Now that Wang Yan is growing up, it's not appropriate for me to stay here. Others will gossip."

He Yushui said angrily: "I see who dares to gossip, I tore their mouths."

Li Shufen smiled and said: "Besides, I haven't lived in that house for two years, so I need to tidy it up.

This is what I think, first move back to live for a while, if you have another child, I will move back. "

He Yushui sighed and said: "My stomach hasn't moved for two years. I was pregnant with Qiqi and waited for seven years. I'm afraid I will only have Qiqi and a son in this life."

In the past two years, Wang Gang and He Yushui have worked very hard, but unfortunately they just couldn't conceive, which made their wish to have a daughter come to nothing.

"Godmother, if we really let you go back to live, we will be poked in the back! Brother-in-law will be the first one to let us go." Wang Gang also tried to keep Li Shufen.

"I'll talk to the pillars." Li Shufen insisted on leaving, but it was useless to persuade her. In the end, it was Wang Yan who came out to stabilize her.

"I don't want grandma to go, I don't want grandma to go."

Two-year-old Wang Yan, his parents crawled on top of Li Shufen and cried without teaching him. Li Shufen's heart softened when she cried.

The child's world is the simplest, he will kiss whoever is with him more and treats him well.

It can be said that Wang Yan was brought up by Li Shufen from a young age, and devoted all his efforts to it.

"Grandson, grandson, don't cry, your voice will become hoarse if you cry too much." Li Shufen patted Wang Yan's back distressedly, coaxing.

He Yushui's eyes turned red when he saw it, and said, "Godmother, look, Qiqi can't bear to part with you."

Li Shufen's face was still struggling, and when Wang Gang and his wife wanted to persuade her again, the ground suddenly trembled.

"No, there's an earthquake." Wang Gang was shocked, grabbed his wife and Li Shufen, and ran out to the yard.

He finally remembered that he had missed one thing.

The biggest earthquake after the founding of the People's Republic of China still happened as scheduled, but Wang Gang forgot the exact time, so he was not prepared at all.

When the family came to the yard, the magnitude of the earthquake was getting bigger and bigger, and there were screams from neighbors around.

"Everyone get together, don't run around." Wang Gang took the child from Li Shufen's arms, and let He Yushui and Li Shufen hug each other and squat down.

Sijiucheng was just an aftershock, which would soon stop, but the aftershock was not just one wave, it would be dangerous to stay in the room.

Taking advantage of the aftershocks subsided, Wang Gang built a simple shed in the yard to keep out the wind and rain.

It is impossible to live in the house, and if it is collapsed by the aftershock, there is nowhere to run.

Sijiucheng experienced three waves of aftershocks, and then it started to rain. Wang Gang was prepared, but he didn't panic.

"I don't know what's going on at Zhuzi's place?" Li Shufen calmed down, and immediately thought of He Yuzhu's house.

The couple, with their two children, lived in a large compound. When they encountered aftershocks, they didn't know if they were in danger.

"Godmother, when the rain subsides, I'll go to the yard to have a look. You stay at home and concentrate on taking care of your children." Wang Gang said.

Before Wang Gang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by He Yuzhu's loud voice.

"Sister, godmother, are you all right?"

Wang Gang hurriedly opened the door, and saw He Yuzhu standing at the door, drenched all over.

"Why are you here, where are your sister-in-law and the child?" He Yushui asked anxiously when he saw his elder brother.

"Your sister-in-law and children are fine. An earthquake-proof shed is set up in the yard, and the neighbors are taking care of them. I'm worried about you. Come and have a look."

Wang Gang pulled He Yuzhu into the shed and asked, "Is the compound not affected by the earthquake?"

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just that some people were taken aback, especially Xu Damao's grandson, his legs went limp after the earthquake, and he was carried out by two people."

If He Yuzhu can still joke, it means it's okay.

"Is there enough food in your family? I think the food in the city will fluctuate for a while." Wang Gang gave He Yuzhu a bag of flour.

"I won't be polite to you. The food at home is in the house, so I dare not take it." He Yuzhu took the flour, and the rain outside also eased.

"I don't have enough food, I still have more. If it doesn't work, I'll go back with you and bring my sister-in-law and children here. It's more convenient for me to live in the courtyard than you."

He Yuzhu thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's fine, you have a big place, and there is a family to take care of you when you are together."
