"You don't celebrate it. Normally, no one can eat these dishes during the Chinese New Year," Xu Damao said in surprise.

"Don't listen to Uncle Three's nonsense, the stir-fried beef here is his eldest grandson Yan Xuejun's favorite."

"His little grandchildren love to eat fish the most."

“The third uncle is most proud of his braised pork”

"The only remaining stir-fried black fungus and peanuts are for the two of us. They are not worthy of my two bottles of good wine," said He Yuzhu as he raised the two bottles of Xifeng wine in his hands.

"Zhu Zi, you are talking nonsense. The wine can be taken back." Yan Fugui pretended to be angry and snatched the two bottles of wine. Then, after a hearty laugh, everyone started to eat at the table.

The aunt and her friends set up a small table in the kitchen, put a little bit of each dish on it, and left the big table for the third uncle and his friends to drink.

As they drank, the uncle suddenly said with emotion, "Life is getting more and more comfortable nowadays. Why did people toss and turn in the past?"

"It's all because of poverty. Life has gotten better in the past two years and there aren't so many problems now," Xu Damao said after taking a sip of wine.

"In the entire courtyard, Zhuzi's living standard was the worst. The two brothers and sisters had a hard time making ends meet and were targeted by a group of beasts in the courtyard.

"Looking back now, Zhuzi has the best conditions," Xu Damao turned around and began to praise He Yuzhu again.

"That's right. Zhuzi is now the logistics director of the automobile factory and a senior cadre. He is looked up to by everyone wherever he goes," Yan Fugui also felt deeply moved.

"What you said is meaningless, Uncle Third. Didn't your Yan Jiecheng get promoted?" Seeing Xu Damao and Yan Fugui taking turns praising him, he turned his spearhead towards Yan Jiecheng.

"How can I compare with you and Zhuzi? It was you who found the job for me so that I could work in the factory," Yan Jiecheng said, waving his hand.

A few people stayed like this, praising each other and drinking until midnight, before going home to rest.

When he woke up the next day, He Yuzhu felt a little uneasy, as if he had forgotten something. But after thinking for a long time, he couldn't remember it, so he packed up and went to work.

It was not until the evening when he heard two workers in the factory talking about how today was July 7th that he suddenly remembered that it was now July 20th, 76. A 7-magnitude earthquake struck Tang City in the early morning of the next day, causing more than 27 casualties, making it a day of grief for the whole country.

Checking the time, he rode his bicycle to his newly bought courtyard house, found a pile of leftover wood from the renovation in the warehouse, and started to build an earthquake shelter. Li Xiuzhi and the children were confused and had no idea what He Yuzhu was doing.

"Boss, what are you doing? Why are you building a shed in the yard? Are you planning to sleep in the yard?" Li Xiuzhi walked up and asked.

"Listen to me, whether you believe it or not, sleep in the shed tonight and don't go back to the house," He Yuzhu warned Li Xiuzhi and several children while anxiously setting up the earthquake shelter.

"And don't tell anyone what I tell you, otherwise it will be dangerous."

"I heard from an expert that there will be an earthquake tonight. I know you definitely don't believe it, but there is no harm in sleeping in the yard for a night. Just in case, okay?" He Yuzhu instructed his wife while building an earthquake shelter.

"Brother-in-law, isn't that feudal superstition? Why do you still believe in it?" Li Yue, who went to bed early, said as she walked out of her room in a daze.

"Okay, stop talking so much. It's right to listen to your brother-in-law. Come and help quickly."

Li Xiuzhi had never seen He Yuzhu so flustered before. She felt that he was very nervous and scared, so she nodded and agreed, and then asked everyone to work with him.

An hour later, He Yuzhuzhu built a spacious earthquake shelter in the yard, then moved some bedding and food into it. He asked Li Xiuzhi and the children to stay inside, and he hurriedly left home again.

"Xiao Bei, is there any way to warn the area where the earthquake occurred so that people can evacuate, otherwise there will be more than 20 casualties,"

"Host, I can provide you with some small drones to broadcast to the disaster area and drop many leaflets to alert local residents to reduce casualties, but you will pay a price for such a large-scale disruption to the world."

'What price'

"Requires the host's lifespan",

"How many years?" He Yuzhu asked through gritting his teeth.

"The host's five-year lifespan can serve as an effective reminder for them,"

"How many years can I live?" He Yuzhu asked the system elf Xiaobei.

"Based on the host's health, he can live to be over 90 years old, maybe even more."

"I've changed. Anyway, I'm in good health now and should be able to live for many years. I don't mind if I lose a few years." At this time, He Yuzhu had the spirit of heroic sacrifice.

"The host's lifespan has been successfully deducted. The drone has been launched and appeared in the worst-hit area of ​​the earthquake."

He Yuzhu didn't feel anything at this time, but he had already done his best, and the rest was up to fate.

Afterwards, he went to Yu Shui's home again and said that he felt uneasy today and missed her and their two children very much.

It happened that Xiao Liang was not at home because she was on duty recently, so He Yuzhu forcibly took the mother and her two children to his courtyard and lived in an earthquake shelter.

After everything was arranged, several people started chatting with a group of children in the earthquake shelter, which made the children so happy that they didn't fall asleep until late at night.

At around 3:30 in the morning, I felt the ground shaking and tiles on the houses falling down, as if it was the end of the world.

He Yuzhu, who was already alert, immediately jumped up and shouted, "Xiuzhi, Yushui, get up quickly, there is an earthquake, take care of the children."

Li Xiuzhi was also very alert. When she heard He Yuzhu's shout, she immediately sat up, grabbed the somewhat confused He Yushui, and gathered several children who were obviously frightened to her side.

"Boss, we don't know where the earthquake happened," Li Xiuzhi was obviously a little scared.

He Yushui grabbed He Yuzhu's arm and started crying, "Brother, no wonder you said you were restless at night."

"So you're worried that the three of us would be in danger. If this happened in our courtyard, I don't know what I would do."

"It is said that when a relative is in danger, the people closest to him will feel it. I didn't believe it before, but now I do."

He Yuzhu had no way to explain this matter and could only let He Yushui's idea go on.

"You are my sister, of course you are the person closest to me. It is normal for me to feel that you are in danger."

"You are an adult in your 30s, stop crying and take good care of the child," He Yuzhu winked at Xiuzhi and asked her to comfort Yu Shui.

Half an hour later, the gate of their courtyard was knocked and He Yuzhu hurried out to open it.

"Master, are you okay? Is there anything I can help you with?" Ma Hua and Gao Jianshe outside the door looked at him anxiously.

"I'm fine, you two come in," He Yuzhu said with emotion as he let his two disciples in. He didn't expect that when the earthquake happened, the first thing the two disciples did was to make sure they were safe.
