As everyone came back one after another, the construction site became more and more lively.

Father Ye also told everyone that he would take a break today and wait until dawn to hear the news. He would have a day on the sixth day of the lunar month the day after tomorrow, so he tentatively decided to set off and return in the early morning at that time.

Everyone has no opinion.

Buddha beads gave a warning. Now everyone was more convinced of Ye Yaodong and wanted to follow his footsteps. Naturally, the father and son did whatever they said.

After Father Ye finished speaking, everyone continued to discuss.

Ye Yaodong heard the same thing, but it was of no use, so he went back to his house to lie down.

There was a lot of noise outside, and he actually couldn't sleep. He just lay there with his hands behind his head.

It wasn't until the sounds outside became less and less, it was almost dawn, and his father came into the house, that he turned off the lights and went to sleep.

It's almost 5 o'clock, and I can only sleep for a while.

Ye Yaodong slept for a while and didn't get up until there was another noise outside.

There was nothing around him. His father had been up a long time ago, and the radio was not in the room. As soon as he thought about it, he knew that his father had taken it out to listen to it.

He got dressed and went out. A bunch of people were sitting around the radio, but it looked like there weren't many people, just dozens of people.

"What did the radio say?"

"I didn't say anything. It's still what we discussed last night, but the broadcast was a little more detailed than what was said on the dock."

"Is there a tsunami?"

"One thing, the radio said that the current tsunami waves along the coast are no more than 10 centimeters, and the impact is negligible."

"Ignore it?"

"I forgot how to say it. Anyway, it means...oh the radio is playing, please listen..."

The broadcast on the radio began to play in a loop again, and Ye Yaodong happened to hear it.

"...The tsunami waves along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang lasted for a period of time at night, and their intensity generally showed a weakening trend, without any catastrophic impact..."

"This morning, the sea conditions in the bays and straits of Fujian and Zhejiang are good and suitable for offshore operations. The maximum wind and waves are only 1-6 meters, with light to medium waves..."

"...The impact of cold air is much greater than that of tsunami waves. Because the cold air is coming, there will be moderate to large waves along the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang in the next few days..."

"What is the exact magnitude of the earthquake?"

"Level 7."

"This is crazy. It was said to be level 5 at first, then it was level 5~7, and now it's level 7."

Ye Yaodong was also speechless. In the end, he had to listen to the official broadcast to be accurate.

"Has anyone else made the call?"

Father Ye replied: "Yes, some went to the dock to hear the news, and some went to make phone calls, but they haven't come back yet."

"I'm going to make a call too."

"I heard that the queues for calling the post office and supply and marketing cooperatives are very long, from the street to the end of the street. After some people got the news at night, they queued there and waited for the doors to open at dawn to call home. Everyone

I’m guessing there’s still a queue at this time.”

"Is that an exaggeration to queue up in the middle of the night?"

"Isn't that right? Someone went to make a call early in the morning and was shocked when he saw the long queue, so he came back. It would be most convenient if your chamber of commerce could make a call."

"Well, it should be fine."

"Then Dongzi, can we go with you to make a phone call?"

A bunch of people stood up immediately and looked at him.

Ye Yaodong looked at the dozens of people and shook his head quickly, "There are too many people. I can still lead one or two people over to make a phone call. How can I lead so many people over? As I said before, idlers can't go in, only members can

Go in to avoid any trouble."

Father Ye quickly said: "Then...then forget it if you can't all follow. Don't worry, let Dongzi call back first to ask about the situation at home. Anyway, as long as there is nothing wrong in the village, we will do it the day after tomorrow."

Just went back."

"Well, I'll call and ask first. It doesn't matter who calls. It would be nice to know the situation."

Father Ye also said: "Yes, we can also save some phone bills. Let Dongzi make the call and let him know when he comes back."

"Okay, then we'll wait here for the message."

Originally, they were sitting here waiting for a message, waiting for someone to come back after making a phone call.

Ye Yaodong didn't eat either. He simply washed up and pushed the cart out. Then he bought buns on the side of the road, rode the bicycle with one hand, and ate with one hand.

When I arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, I didn't expect that there were quite a lot of people inside, twice as many as usual, and most of them were concentrated here.

After all, Vancouver City is also close to the Bay, with the Bay Strait between them. Some people here also live by the sea, and they are also worried about whether there was an earthquake at home yesterday and whether there was a tsunami on the shore.

"Morning, there are so many people?"

"It's not because of the earthquake yesterday afternoon. I got up this morning and came over quickly to call home..."

"I heard that the queue outside for phone calls has been lined up for a whole street..."

"Fortunately, you can make a phone call here..."

Ye Yaodong was also very glad that he suggested Jin Laixi to apply for installation from the government. Wouldn't it be convenient?

"Are you all done? I'll give you a spanking when you're done."

"I'll give you a call. We called you early in the morning and are currently discussing it."

While dialing, he asked: "How are you at home?"

"Fortunately, I just felt an earthquake, the whole house shook, and a few tiles fell off, but everything else is fine..."

"Our family is similar..."

After Ye Yaodong waited for the call to go through and was picked up, he stopped talking to everyone and focused on the phone.

"Dongzi, there was an earthquake yesterday afternoon. Did you feel it over there..."

Lin Xiuqing's voice followed closely, "How are you doing up there? Fortunately, you didn't come back the day before yesterday. The whole house was shaking there yesterday afternoon..."

"Dongzi, are you okay?"

"Dongzi, you all stayed at home yesterday, right?"

The voices on the phone rang in turn, each one rushing to speak.

Ye Yaodong had no choice but to answer one by one, "I'm fine, I don't feel anything. I wanted to come back from the sea last night, but I happened to hear a radio broadcast from the pier at night, saying that there was an earthquake in the Bay Strait the day before, and it was recommended that the fishing grounds going south should stop going to sea first.

"

"We didn't leave at that time. We went back to rest after listening to the news for a while. We waited until dawn today before we came out to make calls."

Mother Ye grabbed the phone and said, "It's okay. Fortunately, I haven't come back yet. There were waves on the shore last night, and the wall of water sprayed up..."

"Tsunami?"

"Yes, there are tsunamis, one after another. Fortunately, the earthquake ended yesterday afternoon. I asked Aqing, your elder sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law to go back to their hometown with their children, because I was worried that there would be another earthquake."

"As long as everything is fine..."

"It's okay. It's just that the waves hit the door of our house at night. A little bit of it came to the house, but it disappeared this morning. We did a big cleaning and just finished tidying up the house."

"What about the village?"

"Everything is fine in the village, and the houses are all fine. I just heard people say that the wall of water hit by the waves at night was so high that it was scary, and then it all fell down again, and it became weaker and weaker..."

Ye Mu said in a loud voice, "Where's your dad? Why don't you know how to call back? I've been waiting all morning, but there's no call. The phone at the village committee didn't ring either. What are you doing outside? I don't know.

I called back and sat here for half the morning waiting for the call..."

"Everyone is queuing up. You don't know how many people called today. Who doesn't care about home anymore? Give the phone to Ah Qing."

He has a headache talking to his mother, so he might as well talk to his wife.

The phone had just been snatched away by Ye Mu and she squeezed it so tightly that Lin Xiuqing couldn't snatch it away again.

Then he would speak and she would get the phone.

"Are you okay up there?"

"It's okay. Is there a lot of waves at home? Is there any more waves?"

"It's gone. It's calm again. They said nothing will happen after the tsunami. We didn't sleep here last night and didn't know what was going on. Today we came over and saw that the yard was full of seafood and we picked up two big buckets.

, and also picked up a fish weighing more than ten kilograms..."

Lin Xiuqing said that she was very happy, "Everyone of them picked up three or four buckets, and they were all hit by the tsunami water wall. After the tide receded, the whole village rushed to the beach, and the entire beach was covered with

Several children also ran away..."

"It's fine that everything is fine in the village, but what about the fishing boats in the nearby waters? Have you heard about it?" Ye Yaodong asked.

"I heard that there are so many reefs and island arcs in the periphery, which will offset part of the energy, so the fishing boats at sea seem not to be affected, but the small boats docked on the shore have capsized a lot, and the large boats docked also seem to be affected."

Tsunamis will not cause disasters in deep oceans, and it is even difficult for sailing ships to detect such fluctuations.
