She winked at He An and said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll take Dudu to the back. She's been making a fuss all morning and should be sleepy."

After saying that, he went to the room in the backyard. Not long after he sat down, He An came over.

He An: "What's wrong? What happened when you went to grandma's house today?"

Su Yan nodded seriously and told everything he had discovered today and what he had heard from Grandmother He.

After releasing the pressure, she said, "We also need to prepare in advance."

He An was shocked by Su Yan's words and was stunned for a moment.

I was stunned for a while, and didn't hear what Su Yan said at all, "...Ah?"

Su Yan took a step closer and whispered, "We have to find a way to move the food. I always feel it's unsafe to put it in one place."

Their family has food, which was prepared in advance last year to deal with the drought, as well as some saved from previous purchases this year.

Quite a few.

Therefore, the most pressing issue now is how to store these foods safely.

He An lowered his head and thought for a while, "Since there are already disaster victims nearby, we must not make any noise..."

Su Yan didn't expect that He An not only didn't question her, but also thought about how to do this thing at the first time.

Her words of persuasion were stuck on her lips, and turned into, "...You, don't you think I'm overthinking it?"

"Nothing happened. Maybe these few disaster victims accidentally walked here, and there are no more behind them."

He An: "Although there is such a possibility, if I have to gamble my family's lives on this possibility, I would rather do more in advance."

"It doesn't matter even if it turns out to be useless in the end."

Su Yan's tears suddenly fell, as if she had found a supporter, and the uneasiness in her heart was also soothed.

She took a step forward and leaned into He An's arms. After a while, He An felt the piece of clothes on his chest was wet.

He opened his arms and hugged Su Yan and Dudu.

The three of them stayed in silence for a few minutes before He An said, "Actually, I can understand your thoughts."

"Before Dudu was born, I was always a little impulsive when encountering things."

"But after Dudu was born, I found that I became timid."

He said, "Sometimes when I sit there alone, I wonder, if something happens to me, what will you and Dudu do?"

“So I became a little timid in doing things.”

Su Yan choked up and corrected, "...You are being cautious, not timid."

He An touched her hair and said, "Okay, okay, I am cautious. I am very cautious in everything I do now. Before doing anything, I always think about whether I can accept the worst outcome before doing it."

"So, Yanyan, we are not becoming less courageous, but we have become parents and understand our responsibilities."

Su Yan couldn't help but cry silently again. Perhaps every new parent would have this kind of anxiety.

The child is still so young and needs so much protection.

If something happens to the parents, the children will be left alone in the world, how pitiful it will be.

Therefore, we will be cautious when doing things.

Love is a bond, a shield, and even more, armor.

After a good, silent cry, Su Yan felt much more open-minded.

She looked at Dudu who was curious and wanted to touch his eyes, and said, "Then let's go home tonight and discuss what to do."

"No matter what, we have to leave ourselves a way out."

Thinking of Grandma He's reaction, Su Yan pursed her lips and added, "We also need to leave a way out for grandparents."

He An nodded vigorously and wiped the tears from Su Yan's cheeks.

Seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, I let her stay in the house.

He went outside to buy a bowl of noodles and brought it back for Su Yan to eat in the house.

While Su Yan was eating, he carried Dudu to the kitchen and steamed a bowl of egg custard for Dudu.

After finishing, she gave the egg custard and Dudu to Su Yan who had already finished her meal, "Feed her first, I still need to go to the front to watch."

Su Yan: "Did you eat just now? Where are Erlang and Wu Dalang?"

He An: "We had lunch early at noon, so we finished it before you came. Don't worry."

"Feed Dudu well first. She loves steamed eggs recently. But don't feed her too much. The doctor said it's hard for her to digest."

Su Yan nodded, "I know, it's okay, go ahead and do your work."

He An nodded and went out.

Su Yan picked up the spoon, scooped up a little bit of steamed egg, blew on it, and then handed it to Dudu's mouth.

The impatient Dudu was already very excited when she saw the steamed egg. Now seeing Su Yan feeding her, she couldn't wait to stretch her neck to receive it.

The two little hands clenched tightly and the little feet pushed forward with all their strength.

Su Yan couldn't control her with one hand, so she had no choice but to put her on the bed.

I held the bowl and fed her bit by bit.

Seeing Dudu giggling with excitement after eating the egg custard, Su Yan felt that as long as she could grow up healthily, she would be willing to do any useless work.

When night came, Su Yan coaxed Dudu to sleep, and then walked around the rooms in the new house with He An.

Trying to find a suitable place to store food.

I didn't dare make too much noise and could only search bit by bit with the lantern in hand.

Finally, the two men unanimously decided to build a hidden cave, which could be used to hide people or food.

They chose the northwest corner of the yard as the entrance to the cave.

Firstly, this location is remote and was originally a place where firewood and tools were stored. One can see the bottom at a glance, and there is no desire to continue exploring.

The place Su Yan and He An chose was in a corner, and it was difficult for anyone to set foot there.

Secondly, this place is next to the corner of the neighbor's yard.

Even if there is some noise during construction, you don’t have to worry about your neighbors finding out.

Thirdly, this place is large enough, and there is plenty of space whether it extends into the yard or to the ground under the firewood.

After deciding on the location, Su Yan and He An started working.

Neither of them was idle, so they dug together.

In order to avoid being discovered, he was very careful the whole time and kept his ears open to listen to the noise outside.

Su Yan and He Anquan used the excavated soil to pad the yard, starting from the northeast corner and spreading the soil little by little.

For fear of attracting attention, Su Yan and He An could only do it at night, and they had to wait until Dudu fell asleep.

I was afraid that Dudu, who was still learning to speak, would speak without thinking and accidentally let something slip.

Because of these restrictions, the underground cave project progressed slowly.

Seeing more and more unfamiliar faces appearing on the streets, sometimes one or two of these victims would jump out into the alleys.

He didn't do anything, just walked back and forth, as if he was familiarizing himself with the road conditions.

Now Su Yan and He An couldn't sit still anymore.

It was decided to transport the food from the store little by little first. It would be difficult to transport the food when there were more victims and there were spies everywhere.
