The days passed as usual, and time quickly entered the year 76.

Midsummer Night.

People who were sleeping were awakened by the rumbling sound, and then the ground began to shake violently.

Li Xuewu jumped up from the bed, pulled Qin Jingru up, and yelled at her: "Hurry up, there's an earthquake, you run out with the child, I'll go get Hong Bing!"

Women are weak by nature but strong as mothers. Qin Jingru came to her senses. Although she was extremely scared, she still picked up her sleeping daughter and ran out. After running to the yard, her legs had no strength left and she collapsed to the ground. Xiao Hongmei was also awakened by this. She looked at everything around her in a daze, and then burst into tears. Qin Jingru quickly hugged her daughter tightly in her arms.

At this time, Li Xuewu also ran out of the house carrying Li Hongbing.

"Are you okay?" Qin Jingru asked after putting Li Hongbing into her arms.

Qin Jingru shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"Uncle and Aunt! Are you all right?"

Liu Haizhong and the second aunt also ran out of the house holding their little grandson: "We are fine with the martial arts training. What earthquake is going on? Why is it shaking so badly?"

"I don't know either. You just stay in the yard. I'll go see my mom and the others!" After making the arrangements, Li Xuewu hurriedly ran to the next yard.

When I ran through the middle courtyard, I saw a group of frightened people in the courtyard. Most of them ran out in their underwear. A glance saw everything white.

"Learn martial arts, learn martial arts. How's your backyard? Is everyone okay?" Yi Zhonghai shouted as he watched Li Xuewu running past.

"It's okay, uncle. Everything is fine. I'll go check next door!" Li Xuewu ran away in a flash, leaving only his voice coming back.

Yi Zhonghai turned to look at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, it will definitely rain after this earthquake. Hurry up and organize people to build earthquake shelters!"

After opening the door, Li Xuewu ran to the gate of the next yard and started banging on it.

Soon, someone opened the door from the inside and saw that it was Li Xuewu: "Xuewu!"

Li Xuewu glanced at the man in front of him. The uncle in charge of the front yard was named Lu. His son was also an employee of the machinery factory and was a team leader in the workshop. "Uncle Lu, is everyone in the yard okay?"

"It's okay. We all ran out of the front yard. Except for a few injuries, we are all fine! Only two makeshift houses collapsed!"

"As long as no one is okay, I'm going to go see my parents first. You quickly organize people to build earthquake shelters, and ask your family to come find me in the east later!"

Uncle Lu nodded and said, "Okay, you can go over there quickly. I'll let Xiangdong go over there after I've arranged everything."

When he arrived at the middle courtyard, Li Xuewu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone in his family was fine and they were all standing in the courtyard. When Huaihua saw Li Xuewu coming, she ran two steps and threw herself into Li Xuewu's arms: "Dad!"

Stroking her head, Li Xuewu comforted her softly: "It's okay, it's okay, Dad is here!"

Then he walked over to his parents and eldest brother and said, "Dad, the epicenter seems to be quite close to us. There will definitely be aftershocks soon. Don't go back to the house. While it's safe now, move the food out and build a shed. Otherwise, if it starts to rain, we will have nowhere to stay."

"I know. I'll start right away. Are Jingru and the child okay?"

Li Xuewu nodded: "Don't worry, it's okay!" Then he turned to see his eldest brother Li Xuewen: "Brother, I have to go to the factory to check on you. You can take care of the arrangements at home. Safety comes first!"

"Okay, I understand, don't worry, just get busy!"

After giving a few more instructions, Lu Xiangdong also came over.

"You came to me to learn martial arts?"

"Xiangdong, do you know where your workshop director lives?"

"Well, I know."

"Then, you should quickly ride your bike to find your director and tell him to select a few people with large families to gather at the factory."

"Okay, I'll leave right away!"

Li Xuewu also followed him out and returned to Yard 95.

He walked to the backyard and found Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle, I have something to do for you. Gather all the employees of our machinery factory in this alley, save yourselves first, build sheds, move food, make a statistics to see how much is missing, and report to the factory to collect it. After the arrangements are made, you can select a few people to gather at the factory. I have something to arrange!"

"Okay! No problem!" Although he is already a section chief, Liu Haizhong is still so keen on being an official. He becomes very enthusiastic when asked to be responsible for something.

After arranging the task for Liu Haizhong, Li Xuewu gave instructions to Qin Jingru and quickly rode his bicycle to the machinery factory. There were so many buildings and equipment in the factory. If something went wrong, the factory would not be able to start work for a long time. Moreover, there were so many employees in the machinery factory. If anything happened to them, it would need to be investigated and dealt with. There were also matters of earthquake relief and disaster relief. As a large factory, they must have a sense of social responsibility.

Li Xuewu had to rush over to set up a disaster relief command center.

After Liu Haizhong received Li Xuewu's order, he walked directly to the middle courtyard and shouted in a loud voice: "Hey, all the workers in the machinery factory, come to me and gather."

People from Yard 95 gradually gathered around. "Well, let me first say that according to the instructions of the factory director, Xuewu has just appointed me as the earthquake commander for this alley, requiring us to save ourselves first and then rescue more people. So now all the male comrades, hurry up and rescue supplies and build earthquake-resistant sheds. He Yuzhu, Yan Jiecheng, Zhao Xuesheng, Liu Xincai, you guys quickly go to each yard to notify the workers of the machinery factory to come to me and report any problems you have!"

"Second uncle, I'm not from your machinery factory, how can you order me around?" Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to move.

"You're not from the machinery factory, but your wife is? If you don't go, you won't be able to take the food and supplies that the factory will distribute when the time comes!"

These words immediately stopped Yan Jiecheng: "No, I can go!"

Yan Fugui saw that there was an opportunity to make money, so he immediately came over and said, "Old Liu, what do you think I can do?"

As soon as Yan Fugui came up, Liu Haizhong understood. He glanced at Yan Fugui and then at Yi Zhonghai: "Of course there is something to do, Old Yi! I have to take a few young workers to the factory for a meeting later. You will take charge of it temporarily. Old Yan, you will be responsible for the statistics. Yu Li, you will be responsible for checking whether they are people from our factory. After the statistics are completed, see how much materials and food are missing, and come to the factory to find me!"

At this time, no one cared whether Liu Haizhong was being too arrogant or not. It was better to have someone to organize and manage you than to figure out your own solutions.

Li Xuewu rushed to the machinery factory in a hurry. At this time, the security personnel at the factory gate were already on guard at the factory gate with guns. Whenever something big happened, the most feared thing was that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble or loot things.

Zhang Tong, who has been promoted to director of the Security Department, happened to be on duty today. When the earthquake occurred, as a military man, he remained calm and decisive. He directly summoned all the security personnel on duty, opened the armory, and began to distribute guns and ammunition.

Then people were arranged to set up guards at the factory gate, warehouse and other places, and people were organized to patrol the factory to prevent the emergence of saboteurs.
