"Chunxia? You're back!" Hearing a voice that sounded like Chunxia's, Xiaohua ran out first.

"I'm back, I'm back, the master is following behind." Seeing her family, Chunxia smiled and felt like she was alive again.

"Sister Gan, Qiuyue, the master and the others are back." Xiaohuaer shouted towards the yard while running outside.

"Master, this..." Seeing Weng Xiaoxiao's excitement, he was immediately frightened by the coffin that appeared in his eyes.

In the face of disaster, people are fragile and cannot withstand the slightest stimulation.

Seeing that Xiaohua was frightened, Weng Xiaoxiao hurried forward to explain, "It's okay, we are all fine, and it contains the medicinal herbs I bought."

Upon hearing this, Xiaohua patted her pounding heart, as she was really afraid of hearing bad news.

"Slow down." Mrs. Gan did not forget to support Qiuyue.

The summer clothes were thin and Qiuyue was already showing her pregnancy. Seeing the pregnant woman running, Weng Xiaoxiao's eyelids trembled and she hurried over.

"Don't panic, we are all fine, nothing happened."

Seeing that the two had also seen the coffin and were frightened and retreated, Weng Xiaoxiao hurriedly said, "There are medicinal herbs in the coffin. I thought of this method for safety. Don't be afraid."

"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay."

Looking at the people behind Weng Xiaoxiao, they were all there, including Xiaokong, who I hadn't seen for a long time.

In the face of the natural disaster, acquaintances were extremely happy to see each other and greeted each other warmly.

"Is everything alright at home? Are you three the only ones home?"

"Master, everything is fine at home. The road was opened a few days ago. Aunt Feng led all the men who could go to help, but they haven't come back yet. Xiaoliu is busy in his room, and Manager Pei went out to check the shop. The farm was flooded, and the losses are estimated to be considerable." Qiuyue sighed.

Property loss is inevitable, I hope no one is hurt.

As they were talking, everyone had already entered the yard, and Ping'an and Xiaokong were naturally carrying the heavy goods.

"Xiaohuaer, Mrs. Gan, go boil some water and cook some noodles. I haven't washed for two or three days and I smell." Weng Xiaoxiao didn't want to get close to others.

Mrs. Gan looked at her boss and the others who were all in a mess, wiped her tears, called Xiaohuaer and went to get busy.

"How many months has it been?" he asked, looking at Qiuyue's belly.

"More than four months." Qiuyue reached out and touched her belly, feeling a little shy.

"Congratulations, Qiuyue. I didn't know you were pregnant and you didn't bring any gifts back. I will give you a generous gift after the baby is born." Having a new baby is always a happy event.

Qiuyue smiled shyly, "Then I would like to thank you first. You must have suffered a lot on this trip. You have lost weight again."

Weng Xiaoxiao touched her cheek and said, "It's naturally harder to be away from home, but it's not that bad. This is a natural disaster, so it's good to have something to eat."

Qiuyue nodded with tears in her eyes. This family business was entirely supported by her master, and the hardship was something she could not understand.

"The pickle shop in the city ran out of stock after the disaster and was closed down. Aunt Feng took the initiative to give some food to the shop assistants as wages, and everyone was very grateful."

During this period, food is the hardest currency compared to money.

"Well done. We will still need these people when we recover."

Weng Xiaoxiao drank a glass of warm water in a few gulps. "What else? There are not many disaster victims outside the city. Have the government settled them properly? I didn't see any porridge being distributed."

"Since the flood started, the city gates have been closed, and people are not allowed to enter or leave at will. After the farmland was flooded, I heard that there were victims outside the city, but the government refused to let anyone in, so the victims had no choice but to flee. When the situation stabilized a little, the government also came forward to distribute porridge, but there was only one meal a day, and it would not be delivered outside the city until noon."

Weng Xiaoxiao frowned. How long can the food in the city last? With such a large-scale flood disaster, when will the government's relief arrive? Yangzhou City was protected, but what about the outside of the city? How long will it take for the government to complete the investigation? Are there still trapped people?

There are so many problems!

"Is everything okay in the city?"

Qiuyue went forward to pour water for Weng Xiaoxiao. "You can't get in or out. Many small businesses have stopped. Food prices have skyrocketed. People are having a hard time. Many poor people have no work to do and have no food to eat. I heard that some kind people are giving out porridge, but that's not enough!"

The situation is very serious! Along the way, the scene in the city is really just a false prosperity.

"Master, the water is ready." Chunxia came in to report.

"Okay, I'll go back to my room first, and you go wash up."

It took a while to finish the conversation, but Weng Xiaoxiao was eager to take a hot bath.

"Qiuyue, can I touch it?" Chunxia looked at Qiuyue's bulging belly curiously, "Is that the baby inside?"

Qiuyue slapped Chunxia's disturbing hand away, "Sometimes I can feel him moving. Look at your face, it's all scratched. Go wash it quickly, and we'll talk later."

"Let's go now. Look at how protective you are of your child."

......

Qiuyue went to tell Xiaoliu the good news first, then went into Weng Xiaoxiao's room, helped her make the bed, and put on clean sheets.

Because of several small courtyards, the originally spacious courtyard has become very narrow.

Ping'an and Xiaokong both felt very uncomfortable with what they saw, but no matter how unhappy they were, this was still home, and it had the warmth of home.

After everyone had cleaned up, they sat down in the cafeteria. They didn't say a word and didn't mind the noodles being hot. They just lowered their heads and ate voraciously.

"Don't cry, why are you still so sentimental!" Seeing Qiuyue wiping her tears, Weng Xiaoxiao consoled her, "We are not hungry, it's just that it's inconvenient to cook and stay on the road, so we just managed to make it here."

Qiuyue couldn't bear to watch the people wolfing down their food.

Life is hard, who can really escape it? It is a blessing to be able to return safely, and there are still so many people who are displaced!

"How is it in Maoxian? Have you contacted them?" Weng Xiaoxiao asked about that place after finishing half a bowl of noodles.

Qiuyue shook her head, "I don't know yet. Shunsui went to check it out, and the road is still blocked."

The flooded area was too large and many places were affected, so Weng Xiaoxiao did not ask any more questions and finished the meal in silence.

......

"Hello, boss." Xiaoliu came out in a wheelchair by himself.

"Xiao Liu is in good spirits. Has his skills improved again?"

"Look, Boss. This is my new design. I can't do anything else. I just want to do this to the best of my ability."

A drawing with a very complex and varied structure was presented in front of Weng Xiaoxiao, and she couldn't understand what it was drawing for a moment.

"This is?"

"The boat is made with the same structure as a real boat and can float in the water."

Weng Xiaoxiao took a closer look and found that it was indeed the blueprint of a ship. She gave Xiaoliu an encouraging and approving look and said, "Great! Good job."

With recognition from his boss, Xiaoliu gained more confidence.
