My courtyard shelter

An hour later, the "Lina" docked smoothly.

Dabao personally put the students on the bus. Some of them were going back to school, while some local students went home directly.

Just now, everyone received a notice from the counselor. At the request of the superior department, starting from tomorrow, all factories and schools will suspend work and classes.

Recovery time to be determined.

After receiving the news, most students were upset. It would have been better if the notification had been sent an hour earlier.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious of triple salary.

It's a pity that everyone has returned, and complaining is useless. I can only lament the bad luck.

Seeing that the children came back safely, Xu's parents and Xu's mother finally felt relieved.

"Thank God!"

Dabao immediately comforted him: "Grandma, I am an adult, what danger can happen?"

"The thunder outside is so loud that it's scary, but you're saying it's not dangerous? School has just been suspended. You guys just stay at home and you're not allowed to go anywhere."

Xu Ma warned.

"Nai, do I still have to go to work?"

Lele "protested".

"Don't think grandma doesn't know. Your job is very relaxing. If you can't ask for leave, just ask your dad to make a call for you."

"Do I still want to deliver food to Ji Yin?"

Xu's mother waved her hand: "Don't talk nonsense to me. Schools are closed. You ask Ji Yin to come and stay at our house for a few days, and grandma will prepare delicious food for him."

"Grandma, Brother Ji will definitely not dare to come over. Dad and uncle treated him so badly last time."

Dabao gloated.

"He dares?" Lele's eyes widened: "I'll call him right now."

"No, let Captain Zhou pick it up."

Xu Ma ordered.

"I see."

Xu's mother then looked at Niuniu: "Niuniu, don't go back to school. Just stay at home. The room has been reserved for you!"

"Thank you grandma."

Niuniu nodded obediently.

…

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

The expected floods did not come. On the contrary, the thunderstorms became more severe day by day, making people's scalp numb. The people were "lucky" to see what it means to have loud thunder and light raindrops.

And just last night, the power supply in the urban area finally couldn't support it. The whole city fell into a blackout, and then the tap water was cut off.

Although Lao Xu's family has backup power generation equipment.

But Xu Dong didn't dare to turn on the generator at all. The thunderstorm was too severe. Once the generator was started, it would inevitably become a ready target. He would not joke with the lives of his family.

It's just a "bitter" experience in the greenhouse and glass house.

Without light and heating, I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for a few days, but fortunately there are a lot of feeds such as sweet potato residue and soybean meal stored in the warehouse. It shouldn't be difficult for the poultry and livestock to survive, otherwise the losses will be huge.

It's dinner time again.

Everyone looked worried. Even little kids like Xiao Huzi and the others were much quieter than usual, maybe because they were scared.

There is a saying that says that the most profound fear of human beings is the fear of the unknown.

Because he was in a bad mood and the chef and servants had all gone home, dinner was very simple: a large pot of rice porridge, a pot of salted fish, a pot of roasted chicken with edamame, and four or five stir-fried vegetables.

The whole family had to eat from the big pot again.

Xu Dong took a sip of rice porridge and suggested casually:

"Dad, Mom, the thunderstorm is getting more and more serious right now, should we go into the basement to hide?"

"Isn't there a lightning rod installed at home?"

Yang Lina didn't want to go to the basement.

"Lightning rods are not omnipotent. Besides, thunderstorms are so noisy that it is difficult to get a good night's sleep. It is best to move into the basement for peace of mind."

Xu Ma immediately agreed: "Dongzi is right. This thunder is like hitting in the ears, and it scares people's hearts. I will clean the basement later, and we will move in tonight."

"Nana, don't be too troublesome, safety is the most important thing."

Mother Yang helped to persuade.

"Mom, there is no electricity and ventilation in the basement..."

"Don't worry about ventilation now, as long as you can't hold it in until you die, listen to Mom's advice."

Mother Yang said earnestly.

Yang Lina looked at the others. Tan Aifang, Pan's mother and others nodded in agreement. After all, there were many children in the family, so they were not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case.

"Okay!" Yang Lina nodded, "Mom, I will accompany you to clean up later."

"There are a lot of supplies in the warehouse. Don't light candles. It will be bad if there is a fire. If I remember correctly, there should be a batch of emergency lights at home. Dabao and Erbao, please help me look for them later."

Xu Dong reminded quickly.

"Yes, Dad!" Erbao agreed immediately.

As for Dabao, his thoughts have long been directed to the temporary cattle farm. Since the power outage, communication has also been cut off, and Xiao Pangzhi has fallen into anxiety.

"Dabao, what are you thinking about?"

Xu Dong tapped his fingers on the table.

Niuniu quickly pushed her boyfriend's arm.

Dabao reacted immediately: "Dad, did you call me?"

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Xu Dong asked with a frown.

"I……"

Lele rushed to answer: "Dad, you know without asking that Dabao must be worried about his cattle farm. Five or six cows have died in the previous cattle farm."

Five or six cows is not a small number, it is equivalent to losing ten million at once. It is no wonder that Dabao was so distressed that he could not sleep all night, and he became a little confused.

"It's useless to be anxious now. If you don't even have this little bit of self-control, how can you manage the company in the future?"

Xu Dong took the opportunity to educate him.

Yang Lina pulled her husband: "Okay, say less. He has just started his business. It is normal to worry about gains and losses. Everyone has a growth process."

"Hmph, don't be too harsh on your child." Dad Xu couldn't help it after all. "Think about yourself. When you were as old as Dabao, you had to call home every month to ask for money. Dabao is already very promising."

"Hey, Dad, I just said a few words, please calm down." Xu Dong quickly comforted him.

The old man's health is getting worse and worse. It would be bad if he got sick from anger.

Dabao quickly forced a smile: "Grandpa, I'm fine, don't worry about me."

There were outsiders at the dinner table, so Dad and Mom Xu couldn't say anything too much. Everything could only be discussed after dinner.

After dinner, Xu Dong immediately led his eldest son into the study, and the father and son had a deep exchange.

Coming out of the study, Dabao was in a much better mood.

But the worry in his heart could not be shaken off. He had invested a lot of effort in the cattle farm, and it was not something he could just let go of.

Seeing her boyfriend coming out, Niuniu immediately went to greet him. She had been guarding the door of the study.

"Brother Dabao, are you okay?"

"It's okay, don't worry, go to sleep!" Dabao shook his head.

Seeing that her boyfriend didn't want to talk more, Niuniu immediately changed the subject: "Grandma and the others have cleaned up the basement, let's move the bedding down quickly?"

"Let's go!"

Dabao turned and walked towards the guest room.
