Chapter 447

He went to the back kitchen first to arrange today's tasks.

Ma Hua is already a Level Six Master Chef, and his cooking skills have improved even more.

Lu Jianye entrusted the matter to him and felt very reassured.

He returned to his own office to read the newspaper.

After lunch, Ma Hua came to find Lu Jianye.

"Master, my brother-in-law doesn't know where he got the news, but he says there might be an earthquake in the next few days."

"He told me to prepare things early, specifically to build sheds."

"He also said it will rain after the earthquake. I just came to tell you, even though it might not be accurate."

Ma Hua is extremely loyal to Lu Jianye.

Every time there is any news, he comes to find Lu Jianye to discuss it.

Lu Jianye put down the newspaper and thought for a moment.

Ma Hua's brother-in-law is very impressive.

He even has the ability to predict earthquakes.

In the original plot, Bang Geng didn't return for long before an earthquake actually happened.

"Good, thank you, Ma Hua."

"You prepare as well; better safe than sorry."

Lu Jianye remembered this merit of Ma Hua's.

In two more years, this brat must be put to use by him.

Ma Hua left happily.

The Rolling Mill factory ended its workday.

Lu Jianye did not go home; he went to buy materials with his elder brother-in-law and second brother-in-law.

His elder brother-in-law had returned from the countryside long ago.

The distance was so close; after so many years, being sent down to the countryside made no difference compared to not being sent down.

Lu Jianye told them an earthquake might happen, and they believed it.

Anyway, whatever Lu Jianye says now is certainly not wrong.

For the next week, Lu Jianye transported things back home every day.

He did not carry them manually himself; he paid workers to do it.

Everyone in the Sihe Academy found this strange.

Liu Hai Zhong asked, "Lu Jianye, you transport these things every day; do you want to build a house?"

"I'm telling you, this is a Sihe Academy; if you build a house, it will be an illegal structure."

Xu Damao also said, "Lu Jianye, you are a leader at the Rolling Mill and also the Manager of the Academy; you cannot act recklessly."

Manager?

Lu Jianye glanced at these two beasts.

He had quit that position long ago.

What nonsense about being a Manager; he found it annoying.

Family trivialities and so many broken matters; he could not handle them.

"Don't put on a high hat for me; it won't work."

"Also, I am not building a house. There is news of an earthquake; preparing in advance is never wrong, is it?"

Lu Jianye did not hide anything.

These past few days, this news has already spread; it is no secret.

As a result, the planks for building these sheds have become much more expensive.

Liu Hai Zhong and Xu Damao also heard about it, but they simply did not believe it.

"Lu Jianye, don't talk nonsense; we do not believe your words."

"Even if there is an earthquake, it cannot be in our Si Si Jiucheng."

The two walked away proudly.

Lu Jianye did not pay attention to them; if they don't believe it, so be it.

Tomorrow he will have people come to build temporary housing.

Prepare in advance to avoid being at a loss when the time comes.

Now, many people in the Sihe Academy have already built sheds; Lu Jianye is not an exception.

Although Liu Hai Zhong and Xu Damao did not believe it, there were still people who did.

For example, Sha Zhu.

Liang Ladi went with him to buy materials, and within a few days, they also built temporary housing.

Jia Zhang Shi sat by the window, watching the temporary housing built at the entrance of Lu Jianye's home, and she cursed viciously.

"It would be good if the earthquake came; Heaven must open its eyes and crush Lu Jianye's whole family to death."

"Especially Lu Jianye; if he dies, his wife and children will be finished."

"My Bang Geng was harmed by him; Lu Jianye's whole family should be buried with him."

Qin Huairu thought the same way.

These past few days, she had already started looking for a job for Bang Geng.

But even for a street-sweeping job, many people were queuing up to snatch it.

With Especially Bang Geng's conditions, no place would take him at all.

"My Especially Bang Geng can only go scavenge for junk — it's all Lu Jianye's fault!"

Qin Huairu glared venomously at Lu Jianye and the three children he had returned to her.

At this moment.

Lu Jianye paid them no attention at all.

He had already told the three children to take the things out ahead of time.

That way, when the earthquake came, he would be well prepared.

Nearly a dozen households in the compound had put up temporary shelters.

But Yan Bugui's household had kicked up a huge fuss over this matter.

Yan Jiefang didn't want to live in a temporary shelter: "Dad, I want to go stay at Big Brother's place."

"Big Brother just bought a new house — there's plenty of room there."

Yan Jiedi heard this and she wanted to go too.

Yan Bugui sneered: "If you've got the nerve, go ahead — no need to ask me."

"Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li haven't even come back a handful of times in all these years."

"They don't give a damn about me as their father!"

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiedi didn't dare speak another word.

They had originally wanted Yan Bugui to say something, otherwise they wouldn't have dared go find Big Brother.

For all these years, Big Brother had barely been in touch with them.

Even if life was good on that side, they couldn't expect to share in any of it.

It was just like He Yushui and Sha Zhu, and He Great Qing — a complete severing of ties.

If they couldn't go live elsewhere, then they could only put up a temporary shelter.

Central courtyard.

A temporary shelter had also been put up outside He Yushui's home.

He Yushui had also gone back to work at the Rolling Mill — she was still an announcer.

After Director Yang came back, Yu Haitang was dismissed, and now it was He Yushui's era.

Bai Jianbang had also returned to the Cultural Troupe now, though he didn't feel like working anymore.

He really wanted to make films.

He barely went to work each day, just waiting for Lu Jianye to have a free moment and write him a script.

He stayed home looking after the kids, reading and studying.

Right.
