After the New Year, after a few days of vacation, people's lives begin to return to normal. The joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not completely dissipated, but another sad news has come from Haishi. Haishi was hit by an air raid, and the power plant in the urban area was severely damaged, with the generator set seriously damaged.

After the air raid, Haishi's power generation capacity dropped from 25 kilowatts to 4 kilowatts. As a result, almost all factories in Haishi's urban area were shut down. The power supply in most neighborhoods was interrupted. High-rise building elevators were powered off and suspended, and many shops were closed. The "Shiliyangchang" of Haishi was plunged into darkness, and the lights were cut off so that each household could only light one electric light for half an hour a day. In addition, Haishi's tap water production unit was also damaged by air raids, causing difficulties in Haishi's tap water supply. Citizens' toilets and toilets were without water for flushing.

Telephone lines were also down due to power outages. For a time, almost all communication between the outside world and Haishi was interrupted. Except for a few major government departments that could be contacted in time, other places, such as the Chen family, had temporarily lost contact. When they learned the news, Tang Xin's family was visiting the Chen family. Due to the busy business in Haishi, someone needed to be in charge, so after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, my uncle went back to Haishi to handle official duties. My eldest aunt continued to stay in Beijing with her three cousins, planning to stay with Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen for a while longer. Originally, the uncle wanted the second elder to take a child with him. There are a lot of people at home to take care of him, so the second elder does not need to spend much energy. Having a child by his side can also ease their homesickness, and it can also replace them in front of the second elder. Be filial.

But the two elders refused. First, because the children were born and raised in Haishi, and now go to school in Haishi. They are all used to the life in Haishi, and they were worried that the children would not adapt to the climate, water and soil of Beijing City if they came with them rashly. Second, both parents believe that it is better for children to stay with their parents and be taught by their parents, which is more conducive to their growth. They feel sorry for their grandson, and they also feel sorry for their daughter-in-law. They don't want to separate the child from the mother because of filial piety, and become the evil mother-in-law who separates the mother and the child. Besides, they are not alone in Beijing. They also have their daughter, son-in-law, grandson and granddaughter here. Although they cannot see them every day, they can always see them every few days. This is much better than before. She is content with more. My aunt was very grateful for her elder brother's decision, so before coming here for the Chinese New Year, she and her uncle agreed to stay here for a while before the children started school, so that they could spend time with their elder brother.

That day, several people were sitting and chatting in the living room after dinner, waiting for a call from their uncle. Normally at this time, after finishing his work, his uncle would take the time to call here to greet his parents, wife, and children, and to report that he was safe. The phone rang as usual today. Everyone thought it was their uncle calling from Shanghai, and the eldest cousin went to answer the phone excitedly. But the call came from the Tang family, asking Tang's father to answer the phone. Upon hearing this, Tang's father thought something had happened at home and hurried to pick him up. Then I saw Tang's father's face becoming more and more serious as he listened to the content of the phone call. He looked at everyone from time to time, and everyone began to feel uneasy.

"Okay, I understand, I will tell them." Dad Tang finally said to the phone, and then put down the phone. He walked toward the crowd with a heavy face.

Father Tang didn't know how to organize his words, and while hesitating, Mr. Chen spoke.

"Zhengde, what's wrong? Did the in-laws call me? Did something happen at home? Or...?"

"Dad, there's nothing big going on in my family. There's just some bad news. I..." Father Tang looked at Mr. Chen, Mrs. Chen and the Chen family's sister-in-law and hesitated to speak. He glanced at his wife. Years of tacit understanding made Tang Ma understand that what her husband wanted to say must be related to his family, but he didn't know how to say it, and it was not convenient. Tang Ma turned around and looked at Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen understood and asked Aunt Gu to take the children down. Perhaps sensing the nervousness of the adults, the children also began to feel a little uneasy. The second and third cousins ​​pestered their mother and refused to leave. Or maybe the eldest cousin had already behaved like an eldest brother, and he patiently persuaded a few to leave. A younger brother took them to play in another room. Although he also wanted to know what happened and wanted to stay with his mother now, he knew what he should do more at the moment.

When the children all entered the room, everyone looked at Tang's father anxiously while holding on to their emotions. Even Tang Xin looked at his father nervously, hoping that nothing bad would happen.

Looking at everyone's worried faces, Tang's father sighed and said: "Hai City was hit by a new round of air raids today. This time, the power plants in the urban area were severely damaged. Now most of Hai City has stopped. The electricity and the communication system have also been damaged." As soon as she said this, my aunt burst into tears. Mrs. Chen's eyes were also red, and she leaned beside Mr. Tang and silently wiped her tears. Tang's mother breathed even more rapidly and hugged Tang Xin tightly. Tang Xin also stared at her father closely, not even feeling her mother's tight hug.

"Is that Yu Ting...?" Mr. Chen asked nervously after clearing his throat.

"Dad, don't worry, just listen to what I have to say." Tang's father quickly comforted him. "The second brother called home just now, first to report that he was safe, and also to ask my mother to tell me that he contacted the eldest brother as soon as the air raids stopped, but because the power and communications were damaged, he We haven't contacted the eldest brother yet. He is afraid that we will be even more worried if we learn the news from other channels. He tells you not to worry. He will send people to his home and company to look for the eldest brother. If he finds the eldest brother, we will contact him at noon tomorrow. Or he will call home again at night. Because we don’t know when the communication there will be restored, so don’t worry if you can’t contact your elder brother, wait for his call tomorrow.”

As soon as Dad Tang finished speaking, Auntie hurriedly walked to the phone and tried to dial the home phone number, but the call couldn't be connected. She quickly dialed the company phone number, but couldn't get through either. Aunt Tang sat down on the sofa in despair, covering her face and crying softly. Aunt Tang quickly put Tang Xin in Dad Tang's arms, sat next to her sister-in-law, hugged her gently, and persuaded her.

"Sister-in-law, in the current situation, no news is the best news. You have to believe that your brother will be fine." Tang's mother's voice was also choked with sobs. She loved her brother the most. She really hoped that he was safe and sound. She also wanted to cry, but looking at her elderly parents and her sister-in-law who was in pain and sorrow, she had to stand up now.

Tang Xin looked at her grandpa, as if she had suddenly lost her vitality. The two of them seemed to be aging for a moment. She felt distressed and anxious. She reached out to her grandma and wanted to hug the sad old man, her words were anxious. The two syllables "Ah no" actually popped out. Old Mrs. Chen was attracted by Tang Xin and stretched out her arms to hug her. Tang Xin reached her grandma's arms, stretched her arms around her neck, and screamed ah no, ah no. Tang's mother looked at her daughter's appearance, steeled herself and said to her mother, "Mom, look, Tangbao is telling you not to worry, big brother must be fine." Tang Xin listened to her mother's words, nodded her head, and agreed. Mom spoke. Seeing Tang Xin's actions, everyone's worries were finally dissipated. After all, there was no definite news yet, so there was still hope for everything.

Mr. Chen was the first to cheer up. After all, as the head of the family, he has experienced too many storms over the years. The entire family is shouldering his shoulders. He is the backbone of the family and he is not allowed to have too much. time is fragile. He patted his wife, touched Tang Xin's little face, and said to everyone.

"Minshu is right. No news now is the best news. We have to believe in Yu Ting. If Yu Ting is fine, we will be in trouble first." He looked at his daughter with relief. It seemed that her daughter had really grown up. He got up. Although his daughter was already the mother of two children, he still regarded her as a child in his heart. Now it seemed that his daughter had grown up unknowingly.
