It was already past four in the afternoon.

Qiao Yue stayed in the garden with her family and did not dare to enter the house.

Not long after, there were two more aftershocks.

However, the time was much shorter than the first time, and the shock was not that strong.

Most of the staff at home have returned home, leaving only Uncle Guang and two security guards.

Qiao Yue took a few of them into the house several times and took out some important items, as well as some chairs and water.

My brother put up his camping tent to provide some shade for everyone.

Qiao Yue estimated that it might be safer to stay outdoors in a spacious place tonight.

Fortunately, the weather is not so hot now, and it is not uncomfortable to stay outside.

Father-in-law and Ji Beichen finally rushed home after being stuck in traffic for more than an hour.

Ji Beichen felt relieved when he saw that Qiao Yue and the rest of the family were safe.

He said, "Although Yuncheng was not the epicenter of the earthquake, it still had a certain impact. On the road, I saw some houses that were damaged and collapsed. A hotel in the south of the city collapsed completely."

Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

Ji Beichen said, "It's a mess outside right now. There are all kinds of cars on the road, and they're all blocked. Just stay still and don't run around."

Grandpa Ji asked Ji Beichen, "How is the company doing?"

Ji Beichen replied, "We have not received any casualty notices yet. We have informed various branches and projects that employee life safety comes first."

Ji Beichen nodded. His grandson was always very considerate in his work. The granddaughter-in-law is also good. Both husband and wife are people who are not afraid of danger and can handle big things.

There is no other way for now. The family can only stay in the garden.

Because of the earthquake, the water and electricity at home were cut off.

All the camping equipment of brother Ji Beixing came into use now.

He set up a table and a cooking stove, and cooked the ingredients from the refrigerator at home for everyone's dinner.

In addition, those fully charged LED lights have also come in handy.

Qiao Yue looked at it, and it seemed a bit like camping in the wild, and she was enjoying herself in hardship.

The younger brother also set up two tents, one for mother-in-law and Qiao Yue, and one for Grandpa Ji, for them to rest.

As for the father-in-law and the two brothers Ji Beichen, they just set up a few chairs and made do with each other for the whole night.

Although the conditions were difficult, Qiao Yue felt calmer than fear as the family was together.

Late at night, while Qiao Yue was half asleep, she felt several more aftershocks, but they were relatively mild.

Qiao Yue didn't sleep well all night. She woke up as soon as it got slightly brighter.

She walked out of the tent quietly, fearing to wake her mother-in-law.

She saw Ji Beichen sitting on a chair, eyes closed, sleeping.

She walked lightly, walked over, picked up the blanket on the chair next to him, and covered him.

It's still a bit cold outside in the early morning. It would be bad if you catch a cold and get sick.

Ji Beichen was awakened by her movements and opened his eyes.

He said softly, "Are you awake?"

Qiao Yue nodded, "Yes."

Ji Beichen pulled off the blanket, stood up, and held her hand tightly, "It's okay, I should be back to normal today, don't be afraid."

Qiao Yue: "Well, you're here, I'm not afraid."

Ji Beichen gently hugged her into his arms. No matter what happened, as long as they were with each other, they would not be afraid.

……

After all, it was not the center of the earthquake, so it was not greatly affected.

The next day, social order in Yuncheng returned to normal. All parties began to carry out disaster relief in an orderly manner. Although there were losses and casualties, there was no danger.

Ji Beichen and his wife continued to live in the old house for a few days.

First, because we have to take care of our family members, it is more convenient to live together. Second, living in a villa is better than living in a high-rise building with dozens of floors. If there is another earthquake, it is easier to run away.

There was no damage to the house, except that a few vases were smashed and a few crystal lamps fell.

Qiao Yue's coffee shop was okay. A batch of cups were damaged and an unlucky employee was scalded by boiling water. Others were not seriously affected.

As for Ji Beichen's Xingchen Group, it has a lot of money and some small losses can be ignored.

After all, Yuncheng was not the center of the earthquake this time, so it was able to avoid major damage.

The neighboring city of Anju is not so lucky.

Qiao Yue was browsing the news on her tablet, and she was shocked when she saw it.

In the county town of Anzhou, a primary school collapsed completely, half of the houses in a village were lost, and floods and mudslides occurred in many places...

Many people suddenly lost their loved ones and became homeless.

Ji Beichen sat next to Qiao Yue, also watching the news, and said, "The Earthquake Administration has adjusted the magnitude to 7."

Qiao Yue sighed, "A magnitude 7 earthquake was so terrifying. Looking back on that day, the whole world was shaking. It's really scary."

Ji Beichen reached out and hugged her into his arms: "Human beings are very small in front of nature."

Qiao Yue looked at the news from Anzhou, her heart clenched and she was very sad.

She scrolled to Weibo and saw a primary school teacher in a remote mountainous area asking for help. The school had collapsed and now the children were short of all kinds of supplies.

She said, "Tell me, can we do anything for these people who are affected by the disaster?"

Ji Beichen looked at her and said, "I also have this idea. I have asked Xiao Lin to contact the Red Cross in Yuncheng and plan to donate a sum of money in the name of the group."

The couple once again thought of one place in a tacit understanding.

Qiao Yue said, "I think the disaster area is short of supplies. Why don't I contact Mrs. Wang? Her family makes food, and she might be able to help."

Ji Beichen: "That's a way."

Qiao Yue quickly picked up her phone and contacted Mrs. Wang.

After some communication between Qiao Yue and Mrs. Wang, they finally agreed that Qiao Yue and Ji Beichen would pay for it, and Mrs. Wang's family would provide the materials and transportation vehicles to send the materials directly to the disaster area.

I hope these insignificant aids can help the people in the disaster areas.

But there was one thing that Qiao Yue didn't consider.

She just didn't expect that Mrs. Wang would have people pull out a banner with red background and yellow characters on the transport vehicle, which read "Xingchen Group Ji Beichen and Qiao Yue's wife and husband provide supplies to disaster areas".

More than a dozen transport vehicles passed through Yuncheng's main road and headed for Anzhou.

Qiao Yue and his wife originally wanted to keep a low profile and do good deeds, but all of a sudden, everyone knew about their deeds.

Someone even made a short video and posted it online. The couple suddenly became the focus of Cloud City.

Fortunately, the common people generally praised their donation.

At this juncture, rich people who are willing to pay are better than those who guard their wallets and refuse to pay.

However, Qiao Yue was too lazy to care about these comments on the Internet. She just felt that she had done a good thing and had a clear conscience.

Isn't there such a saying, but do good deeds and don't worry about the future.

She has no time now. She is busy reorganizing the store and continuing to prepare for her new store. She has no time to pay attention to the turmoil outside...
