Being a student is a blessing. After the final exams, I have summer vacation.
After Niuye was on vacation, he bought a monthly bus ticket that covers Confucius Temple, Xuanwu Lake, Xinjiekou, Jiming Temple for the whole day...
Before we had even finished walking around Nanjing, something happened. A gust of wind came from somewhere and it was said that there was going to be an earthquake in Nanjing.
"Niu Ye, I heard that there is going to be an earthquake here, so you should stop running outside all day long. Stay at home and run outside quickly if there is any movement. Do you know?"
Niu's mother didn't know where she got the shock-absorbing knowledge, so she didn't let Niu Ye go out.
Not only Niu Ye was treated like this, most of the children in Shamao Lane were also not allowed to go out.
"Got it, got it."
Niu Ye agreed verbally, but still went out every day, but always chose a place closer.
When Niu Ma goes home from time to time for spot checks at noon, Niu Ye only needs to be at home.
The news spread for half a month, and people became even more upset.
They didn't dare to sleep soundly at home at night, so they set up simple earthquake-proof shelters on the street.
By building an earthquake shelter, you can see the difference in conditions at home.
Ordinary families would move a bamboo bed and cover it with bed boards.
For families with good conditions, they can use bamboo poles, reed mats, plastic sheets, and some necessary household items to build a simple small home.
Niu's earthquake shelter was built by Niu's mother with materials brought back by her neighbors.
Because the Niu family is rich and generous, their popularity is quite good.
The relationship between the neighbors in this courtyard is pretty good, although they often bump into each other and make noises.
But when we need to help each other, most of the time, we still lend a helping hand.
"Brother Niu Ye, has your earthquake shelter been set up?"
Although the children of the Qiao family were asked by Qiao Yicheng to stay at home, the two younger sisters were fine, but they could not control the naughty and playful Qiao Erqiang.
After the Niuye family's earthquake shelter was set up, they were considered the most respectable group in the neighborhood. Qiao Erqiang ran over and said enviously.
"Once it's set up, our family will live outside from now on. If you want to find me in the future, just come here directly."
"I see, your life is much better than ours. My eldest brother only lets us play under the table at home."
Hiding under a sturdy table is the only earthquake-resistant knowledge Qiao Yicheng has learned to avoid earthquakes at home.
"It's okay. You should go back to bed at night, so just go back to bed and hide under the table."
Although the four children are all small, if you think about it, sleeping four people under an Eight Immortals table will not be very comfortable.
Niu Ye knew that this was a false alarm, although he could not stop Niu Ma from coming to live in the earthquake shelter.
But for people like Qiao Erqiang who live at home and sleep under the table, they might as well sleep at home peacefully.
"It would be great if I could build an earthquake-proof shelter at my house."
Qiao Erqiang is not smart enough to point to a person like this. He may not understand the meaning of the earthquake shelter. He is just envious. Others are living outside, with children in groups, and it is noisy. His four brothers and sisters can only
Hiding under the Eight Immortals Table and sleeping.
There are people like Niu Ye Ma who are worried about earthquakes and sleep at home at night, feeling restless.
There is also Qiao Zuwang, who doesn't take the earthquake to heart at all and plays mahjong all night when he should.
When asked by others, Qiao Zuwang still spoke plausibly. Nanjing was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and a treasure land of geomantic omen. Many emperors chose this place as their home. How could he be shocked just by saying it?
…
After the Niuye family moved out, they came here for another three days.
Most of the neighbors in the yard are worried about earthquakes and have built earthquake-proof shelters in open spaces on the street.
The only ones sleeping in the yard at night were the Qiao family.
Qiao Yicheng finally obtained Qiao Zuwang's consent and moved the bamboo bed at home to the open space on the street.
It was not easy to move the bamboo bed out of the house. Of course, Qiao Zuwang didn't know how to prepare bed boards and reed mats to cover it. The children of Qiao's family could only pick up some cardboard to cover it.
After moving out, Qiao Erqiang often brought Sanli and Simei to Niuye's earthquake shelter to listen to the radio, light candles and read little books. When Niuye had peanuts and melon seeds, he also gave them to the three children.
Share some.
Only Qiao Yicheng did not come. This child has low self-esteem and is arrogant. He is unwilling to ask for help, nor is he willing to owe others favors or accept help from others.
When Niu Ma saw this situation, she didn't care, it was just a snack. The neighbors in the courtyard had some sympathy for the Qiao family's children, who had no mother and only had a scumbag father.
After living there for only two days, it rained again, and the Qiao family's earthquake shelter had no shelter. In desperation, Qiao Yicheng took his younger siblings home and lived under the table.
When the Qiao family was in trouble, they still had to look to Qi Zhiqiang. The next day, Qiao Yicheng's second uncle, Qi Zhiqiang, came over with a large roll of plastic bags and bamboo poles.
Cut the plastic bags, lay them flat, and stick them together with a soldering iron to help the Qiao family build the shed.
Niu Ye also met Qi Weimin, the eldest son of the Qi family and Da Qiao's 12-month-old cousin.
Qi Weimin is a good kid, with the same personality as his father, kind, down-to-earth, and kind.
The two families were not far apart, only two streets apart. Niu Ye had met Qi Weimin before, but the child didn't come with Qi Zhiqiang. Niu Ye didn't know that the child was Qi Weimin.
After another half month of waiting, the government came down to inform that there would be no earthquake in Nanjing.
Residents can go home and resume normal life and production as soon as possible.
The gain from living in the earthquake shack is that the relationship between Niu Ye and the three Qiao brothers and sisters has become a little better.
In the past, only Qiao Erqiang was Niu Ye's follower, but now the three Qiao brothers and sisters have become Niu Ye's followers.
Even in Qiao Yicheng's absence, these three children still listened to Niu Ye's words.
Also, Niu Ye has lived outside for such a long time and finally discovered some of his talents and some of the effects of Animal Friends.
It sounds quite useful, but Niu Ye has never been bitten by a mosquito after living outside for such a long time.
"Niu Ye, school starts tomorrow. Mom has asked for leave and will go to school with you."
A summer vacation was basically spent fighting the earthquake.
Niu Ye is familiar with it, and the plan to visit Nanjing has not been completed, but it doesn't matter, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.
To be honest, the teaching quality of the elementary school Niu Ye attended was really not high.
Among the students in Nanjing, they can only belong to the third rate. However, students now have no choice of schools and are assigned according to their grades.
"Mom, you don't need to send me there. I just go to school by myself."
"I've already asked for leave, so let's go there together. Whether it's a success or not, Mom still needs to communicate with your teacher."
