Last night, the rain came and went throughout the night. Chen Weichuan didn't return all night, leaving Ye Yujun worried and sleepless.
In the morning, she checked her social media and found out that there had been a breach in the Danjiang River dike. They worked overnight to reinforce the embankment, finally blocking the breach in the early morning.
Just as dawn broke, Ye Yujun got up to make breakfast. She cooked the vegetable pancakes that Chen Ningxi liked and the purple rice porridge that Cheng Qiaobei loved. Upon hearing footsteps behind her, she turned around to see Chen Ningxi, still drowsy, entering the kitchen.
"Why are you up so early?"
Chen Ningxi stood by her side, "You're up even earlier than me."
Ye Yujun flipped the vegetable pancakes and sprinkled a handful of black sesame seeds, "I wanted to make breakfast for you both, so I had to get up early."
Chen Ningxi leaned on Yujun's shoulder, "Thanks, Mom."
"Is Cheng awake?"
"Not yet."
"Your dad didn't come back."
