"Hurry, hurry, there's a fire." A chaotic shout came from the entrance of the alley.

"Grandma, let's go out first." Suti made a quick decision and pulled his grandmother to go back.

No matter what happened in front, they were holding their children, and trouble was most likely to occur during the pushing and shoving.

Some excitement is unbearable to watch, nothing is more important than anyone.

"Okay." Old Mrs. Guo immediately followed Su Ti back and looked up at the place where the smoke was coming from. It seemed to be in their alley.

I don’t know which house was on fire. If I had known, I would have followed Baichuan to the transportation department first.

The two walked very quickly and soon retreated to the main road, where there were already quite a few people gathered.

"Grandma, let's wait here until Baichuan comes back." Su Ti didn't dare to go anywhere while holding the child.

There are a lot of people here, so it should be safe for now.

She looked up at the place where the smoke was coming out. Compared to the thick smoke just now, the smoke had dispersed a lot now.

I guess the fire over there has been put out?

"What's going on? Why is there a fire?" There were many people standing on the street, all of whom lived nearby.

"I don't know. The fire started suddenly. It's not even dinner time. If your house is on fire, just forget it. Don't involve other people's houses."

Several people gathered there to discuss, and Suti was sure that the fire was in the alley near their home.

She thought about it and saw that there was no one at home. Unless someone deliberately set fire to her house, it couldn't be her house.

She stood there with her grandmother holding the child for more than half an hour, even though the fire over there had been put out.

Many people ran over to watch the fun, but Su Ti decided to wait for Baichuan to come back.

She didn't know what was going on, safety came first.

Li Baichuan came back quickly. After returning the car, he rode back on the bicycle parked in the transport team.

Halfway through the journey, he heard someone mention that there was a fire somewhere, and for some reason he suddenly felt very panicked.

He hurried back and wanted to rush home regardless of anything, but the sharp-eyed Su Ti saw him first.

"Wife, are you okay?" Li Baichuan heard his wife's voice, let go of the car, and ran in front of Su Ti in an instant.

He was scared to death. With so many people gathered here, something must have happened here. His premonition was correct.

"I'm fine. I didn't go in after I noticed something was wrong. I'll be waiting for you here." Su Ti asked him to take the little guy from his grandmother's hands.

Now they are too heavy and it is difficult for grandma to hold them.

Li Baichuan was holding a package in her hand, which was just for show. The heavy things had already been placed in her space.

"Let's go back and take a look first." Li Baichuan took the child from his grandmother's hands. Seeing that his wife and the others were fine, he went to take a closer look at the place where the smoke was coming out.

There was basically no smoke there now, and the fire was probably out, so he and his people dared to go back.

"The Du family's house is on fire." When they arrived at the alley and saw the family with the largest number of people gathered there, Mrs. Guo recognized whose house it was at a glance.

Even though she doesn't like to interact with people around her, after all this time, Mrs. Guo still knows which families live around her.

"Let's go home first." Li Baichuan had no intention of watching the fun. He had to make arrangements for his wife and the others first.

When Su Ti heard her grandmother mention the Du family, she roughly knew who they were. She remembered there was a woman holding a child.

It seemed like they had been married for less than two years. Every time I saw her, she was holding a child, and the child was dressed very neatly.

The last time she cooked at their house, she kindly came over to ask, as if she was afraid that someone's house was on fire. Suti always felt something was wrong.

"Wife, you and grandma stay at home for now. I'll go out and take a look." Li Baichuan put the child in the crib.

He took the one from her wife's hand and put it down, and only planned to leave after making all the arrangements.

No matter what, they still live here and need to know what's going on over there.

"Okay, be careful and don't come too close." Suti is not a person who likes to watch the fun, but living so close, he always wants to know what is going on.

If it was an accident, it would be fine, but if it was man-made, then they would have to be careful.

"Grandma, you go and have a rest first. I'll go pack some things." Su Ti carried Baichuan's package and saw that the two little guys looked very energetic. They probably got enough sleep in the car.

"I'm not tired." Mrs. Guo said and went to check the kitchen, fearing that there was a thief in the house.

She lay down to rest the whole way, and apart from the bumpy ride, she wasn't tired at all.

Seeing his grandmother like this, Su Ti didn't try to persuade her much. He followed her into the room and checked everything carefully.

Seeing that the things he had before he left were all put away in good condition, it didn't look like there were any bad guys looking for trouble.

Suti looked at the space in the room and put all the things in. She was worried about leaving them outside.

She had just packed her things when Li Baichuan came back.

"Wife, it's okay. Someone at home forgot to light the fire when they were cooking, and the child was crying because he was uncomfortable. By the time they realized what was happening, the fire had already been lit."

"A lot of things were burned in the house, but luckily no one was hurt. The families I have good relations with are helping to clean up the house, so it should be still habitable."

Li Baichuan thought about the room he had just occupied. Even if it was habitable, it was quite messy. It was pitch black and there was nothing there.

Most people would definitely not be able to accept this, but the Du family was very tolerant. They didn't cry or make a fuss, and the whole family packed up their things in unity.

Several people were comforting each other, and Li Baichuan felt that the family was pretty good.

"Did you forget to light the fire?" Su Ti hesitated for a while. Most people here use stoves to cook, and even boilers that use firewood are rarely used.

Even if the child was crying, if he saw that there were people at home because of the fire, he would definitely put out the fire quickly. How could he let it burn to the main house?

Even if you can't find it at first, is your nose failing because of the smoke? Or is your eyesight failing?

Suti felt that they were lying, but it had nothing to do with her and she was too lazy to meddle in it.

"Yes, wife, that family is pretty nice. The whole family didn't complain and cleaned up together. The house was burned empty. That's a pretty good attitude."

Li Baichuan felt that the Du family was not bad. Living here, the neighbors around them were all good people and they felt comfortable living there.

"Really?" It's not that Suti thinks too highly of people. No matter whose house is burned down, it's rare to be so calm, right?

It's fine if it's just one person, but if the whole family is like this, either they are not smart, or they are hiding something.

"It's none of our business. We just need to live our own lives behind closed doors." Suti didn't want to explore what they were hiding.

There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and everyone has their own life. A difficult life or a happy life is destined. She doesn't have that much curiosity.

"Wife, I think so too. I should talk to grandma too. Just live your own life well." Li Baichuan knew that there were too many people living around.
