Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 279

The letter mentioned that there had been a conflict between the Lyu Family and the Yu Family, and that the Lyu Family’s daughter, Lyu Juanzi, had found a partner from the town, and the wedding date had already been set.

It also said that Granny Lyu boasted to the outside world, insisting her daughter would marry in style.

Now Yu Xinyan understood why Yao Hui was borrowing money from everyone.

After reading the letter, a smile appeared on her lips. Knowing that they were not living comfortably, she felt at ease. Although Granny Lyu wasn’t a great villain, after finding out she couldn’t have children, she bullied her quite a bit, and Lyu Juanzi was no different, often making sarcastic remarks.

She stuffed the letter back into the envelope and looked at the lunchbox He Jinxuan had opened: "Since when did the canteen sell fried eggs?"

He Jinxuan, hearing the question, replied a bit sheepishly, "I brought the eggs and asked Master Cui in the canteen to fry them for me."

Yu Xinyan felt delighted but still said, "Let’s forget it this time, don’t bother him next time, it’s better to fry them ourselves if we want it."

He Jinxuan pulled over a nearby stool: "Alright, everything as Yanyan says."

What he didn’t mention was that he had wasted several eggs at home in the morning, none of which turned out well, and he had to find another way with the last two eggs he had.

Yu Xinyan felt a bit shy when he called her Yanyan and changed the subject directly after taking the chopsticks: "Have you eaten?"

He Jinxuan placed the steamed bun, pickles, and porridge one by one: "I have eaten; you eat slowly; I have to go to work."

Yu Xinyan glanced outside at the still-falling rain: "Who knows when this rain will stop, you all should pay extra attention to the back mountain and the Yuquan River, overcast days can easily lead to flooding."

He Jinxuan struggled with his thoughts for a while, then raised his hand to touch her head: "Mm, I know."

After speaking, he turned and left the house, heaven knows how much courage it took for him to finally do something he had long wanted to do.

Yu Xinyan chuckled as she watched his back and called out to him: "Be safe."

He Jinxuan did not turn back, responding loudly: "Okay."

Leaving the yard, he did not forget to close the gate properly, feeling extremely excited.

In the past, he was afraid of being seen here and causing trouble for Xinyan, now, he wished he would run into someone and let everyone know they were dating.

Looking at the continuous rain, he put away his romantic thoughts and hurried to the security department.

After entering the security department, he gathered everyone for a brief meeting and quickly assigned tasks by dividing them into groups.

In no time, everyone disappeared into the rain, except for those on duty.

He Jinxuan did not idle either; after inspecting various places, he went directly to Director Gao Mingde’s office, gently knocked on the door, and heard a voice from inside saying, "Come in."

Opening the door and walking in: "Director."

Director Gao, seeing it was He Jinxuan, cheerfully greeted him: "Director He, come in and have a seat."

Still wearing his raincoat, He Jinxuan did not sit down. He stood in front of the desk: "Director, the gullies in the back mountain are all channeling water downhill. If this rain doesn’t stop soon, I’m afraid it could become a hazard."

After speaking, he added seriously, "I’ve checked the water level of the Yuquan River; in less than half a foot it will overflow. The low-lying area on the other side is already flooded."

Director Gao had not expected the situation to be so serious: "What do you suggest?"

He Jinxuan responded, "From what’s happening now, it seems like the rain won’t stop, I think we can’t wait any longer; we must make preparations in advance."

Director Gao pointed to the sofa, "Sit down and tell me."

He Jinxuan glanced at the sofa, took off his raincoat, hung it on the door, and only then did he sit on the sofa.

Director Gao got up to pour him a cup of hot water and placed it on the coffee table: "Tell me your specific thoughts."

He Jinxuan considered for a moment: "Now that the back mountain is already channeling water, I think we should organize people to dig some trenches. I remember there are some old cement pipes left over from previous renovations stored in our warehouse. Those have a large diameter, and perhaps we could take this opportunity to lay a few underground channels so that in case of such a situation in the future, we can just utilize them directly."
