Chapter 200 Disaster Relief, the Sky Cleared Up
Zheng Bing wiped the water off his face, feeling heartbroken.

It has only been a few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China. They started by living in a tent and working in a factory, and built it brick by brick from scratch, including the factory workshop, dormitory, office building, and the hospital and cultural center in the back...

Now it was destroyed before their eyes.

It was distressing enough to have suffered a disaster in itself, and among these people there were a group of employees like Zheng Bing who had witnessed with their own eyes the construction of this factory from scratch and had made it their home. One can imagine how they felt.

What can Pei Yanning say? Zheng Bing doesn't need Pei Yanning to say anything.

It must be disaster relief!

Minimize losses as much as possible.

The subsequent reconstruction will be a matter for later.

He could only console them: "If we can build a machinery factory, we can build it again."

Everyone outside was very busy. It was windy last night, and the heavy rain mixed with branches and leaves, as well as some messy things, fell into the aisle.

Lingxi didn't want to get in the way outside. Seeing that the stove was empty in the house, she went back to start cooking. Given the situation today, they still had time to be busy.

We can't let them go hungry all the time.

The office building suffered the least damage and only needed a simple cleanup. The damage was more serious in other places. Pei Yaning, Pei Yu, Gu Si, and even most of the people in the research institute went down to help with disaster relief.

There are also many people salvaging things from the water, including clothes and daily necessities, and sometimes if they are lucky they can even catch some food.

I don’t know who it belongs to, but once I get it, it’s mine. My own things have also been taken away by others!

Only Lingxi and the child who was picked up were left in Pei Yanning's office. In the meeting room next door, only a few old men who were too old to be allowed in were left.

Lingxi was getting anxious waiting at home. She made lunch but didn't know whether they would come back to eat.

Fortunately, they returned.

Pei Yanning and the others were all wet, and it was only because they had rinsed themselves in the rain before coming back that they would have been covered in not only water but also mud.

Lingxi hurriedly urged several people to change their clothes, and served them some ginger sugar water. Then she thought of something and took out most of it and asked Zhou Yang to deliver it to the small office next door.

She listened to the noise and thought the people over there should have returned.

Gu Si and Pei Yanning were the first to clean up. They both had mental cheating skills, so they were not as embarrassed as Pei Yu.

Pei Yanning asked Lingxi and Gu Si: "How much ginger is left at home?"

The second brother and his men gave him quite a bit, but Pei Yanning had no idea exactly how much.

"Dad, do you want to take some out?" Lingxi asked curiously.

Pei Yanning hummed: "I have to show my attitude. It just so happens that I need that thing urgently now."

Lingxi understood instantly, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Judging from the actions rather than the heart, her father always did good things.

She prepared most of the basket.

"Anything else? You can talk while eating..."

Lingxi couldn't bear to see them in such a miserable state, she wanted them to be prosperous and bright forever.

Gu Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You know, this little scene is nothing to us."

"understood!"

He seemed quite reluctant.

Gu Si took out the clothes that several people had changed out of and put them in the wooden basin under the corridor to let the rain get to them first. When he turned around, he saw Lingxi following him out and stretching out her hand to catch a handful of rain water.

The raindrops hit my hands painfully.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the strong wind stopped last night.

Lingxi looked at the overcast sky and frowned slightly: "It has been raining for almost half a month, right?"

It had been ten days since they moved in, and it had been raining for several days before they moved in.

"It's been more than ten days."

Gu Si pulled Lingxi's hand back and said, "It's cold." Lingxi looked away and said, "It would be great if the rain stopped. You would suffer less."

It was impossible to stop them from going out to rescue, but she felt a little sad when they went out.

Gu Si didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Our Lingxi hopes that the rain will stop, so it will definitely stop soon. Okay, okay, can you accompany me and dad to eat a little more?

Let Fourth Brother try Lingxi's cooking skills to see if they are any better."

Gu Si coaxed Lingxi back out of habit.

The timing was just right. After Lingxi turned around, a crack appeared in the thick dark clouds behind her.

A ray of sunlight happened to fall on Lingxi's back, faintly reflecting a bright but not dazzling soft halo.

Gu Si turned back subconsciously and was stunned.

Pei Yanning felt that the light was not right, so he looked outside and saw Lingxi and Gu Si, who were surrounded by a halo, with shocked expressions on their faces.

"This is……"

Lingxi was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses. The sunlight shone on her face. She blinked, and a little bit of light spread from the small area on her face.

The beam of light in the clouds broke free from its cage and expanded, covering the entire earth with sunlight, and the heavy rain subsided...

"The sun is out!"

I don't know who shouted, but the cheers and joy that followed from far and near resounded through the sky.

The sun came out, the rain became lighter, the rain stopped, and the water began to recede...

The water receded only on the afternoon of the third day after the rain stopped.

Disaster relief efforts were also launched in full swing. People from all over the province who came to the rescue, including those organized by their own factories, began to rescue collective and personal property.

Lingxi had to take care of the three children herself. Fortunately, she was already good at feeding and changing diapers, and the babies were very well behaved. But even so, she would be overwhelmed if she let Lingxi do it all by herself.

It took me two days to get used to it.

That day, the little grandson next door brought Lingxi a basin with some processed silver carp and a big black fish weighing more than one kilogram.

Lingxi was surprised, but still accepted it, and returned it with some sausages and bacon.

Seeing this, Zhou Yang said hello to Lingxi and was about to leave.

Lingxi nodded.

"The ground isn't dry yet, so be careful not to slip. Come back on time for dinner. I'll need you to help serve the meal later."

Zhou Yang said, "Hmm, Hmm," and ran away...

The little fat guy next door caught a lot just now, so there must be a lot left.

Anyone who has really been hungry knows how precious food is, and he doesn’t want to be just a person who eats free rice.

Lingxi stewed black fish to make soup, and fried small rice noodles wrapped in flour. Then put them in a small pocket and eat them to fill your stomach when you are hungry. They are golden and fragrant. Pick one up and put it in your mouth and it will be full of fragrance and crispness.

It’s not time to eat yet!
An alluring aroma wafted from the corridor, making people drool.

Gu Si and Uncle Pei and Pei Jin smelled the fragrance when they came over.

Several people were stunned.

Lingxi was so surprised: "Second uncle and big brother, you are all here. This journey must have been very difficult."

She turned around and went into the house. Their clothes were not very clean, so she had to find them something to change into.

Pei Jin put down the backpack she was carrying.

"I thought you guys had no food. The terrain is high in the mountains, so we didn't suffer much damage back home. But when we heard that this place was flooded, we couldn't stay at home, so we came here."

Lingxi was very happy when she saw the things in the backpack.

"There is indeed nothing to eat! This little fish was given to me by someone nearby."
