Looking at my phone, August 25th, and then looking at my homework, I still have half left. It's over, it's a disaster!

"Huh? Mom, I'm doing homework! Your sudden call interrupted my thoughts, you owe me."

As the art of war says, you must strike first, take the initiative, and...

"I don't have time to chat with you. Lin Yunyun, listen carefully to what I'm going to say. Stay at home recently, and don't let your grandparents go out. Everyone should stay at home. It's not safe outside now. Don't call me or your dad. Wait for me to call you. Remember, don't go out."

I listened to the chaotic and screaming voice on the other end of the phone.

I wanted to ask why, but my mom didn't give me a chance to speak and hung up the phone.

I wanted to call back, but my mom just told me not to.

As someone who has watched countless melodramas since childhood, I know very well what happens to people who don't listen to advice.

So I dare not call, I'm afraid of harming others and myself.

"Ni, Grandpa's back. Look at what Grandpa bought for you!"

Just when I was at a loss, my grandparents, who had gone out to the big market, came back.

They also brought back a lot of food and supplies.

Anyone who has been to the big market in the northeast knows that the prices there are really attractive.

Plus, I, their only granddaughter, will be going back to school soon, so my grandparents went all out to buy things,

wanting to bring everything for me.

"Grandpa, my mom just called and told us not to go out. She said it's not safe outside."

Hearing that my grandparents were back, I suddenly found my backbone.

"Ni, don't cry. Take it slow. Grandpa just received a call from your uncle. Everything is fine. Just stay with your grandparents. Don't worry about the rest."

Grandpa got off the car and unloaded everything, and soon there was a pile of things.

"Grandpa, what about Grandma?"

After unloading everything, I finally snapped out of it. Where's my grandma? Where's my big grandma?

"Your grandma is still at the market buying sticky corn. I'll go and bring your grandma back. You take care of putting these meats and stuff in the freezer."

After unloading everything, Grandpa went out again on his tricycle, reminding me to lock the door before leaving.

I looked at all these things on the ground and didn't know where to put them.

The house I'm living in now was renovated when I was about to enter junior high school.

They called it renovation, but it was actually rebuilt.

During the epidemic, my dad and the others wanted my grandparents to come and live with us, but my grandparents refused.

The older generation's thinking is that even if they die, they want to be buried in their ancestral graves.

There was no other way, so my uncles discussed with my dad and decided to renovate the old house.

That's how we have this house now.

When the house was being built, there were a lot of jokes.

My dad and the others thought they had succeeded and wanted to provide a better living environment for their parents.

The saying here is that when the child is successful, the elders live upstairs, so the four of them planned to demolish the old house and build a three-story building.

Two floors above ground and one below ground.

After the house was built, my grandparents moved in, and my dad and uncles each took a floor.

"Ni, don't just stand there. Come help me put things away."

My grandpa's voice interrupted my thoughts.

I quickly picked up a few bags and followed him into the house.

Putting away the meat and vegetables, I suddenly realized that the atmosphere outside was a bit strange.

It seemed like there were fewer and fewer people outside, and there was a faint smell of smoke in the air.

"Grandpa, what's happening outside? Why is it so quiet?"

I couldn't help but ask.

Grandpa put down the bag in his hand and looked at me.

"Ni, it's nothing. It's just that there are fewer people outside recently. Maybe everyone is busy with their own things. Don't worry about it."

Looking at Grandpa's calm expression, I didn't ask any more questions.

But I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease in my heart.

After putting everything away, I went back to my room and turned on the computer.

Although I wasn't allowed to go out, my mom didn't say I couldn't play games at home.

As soon as I entered the game, I saw a lot of messages in the chat box.

"What's going on? Why is everyone asking if we're okay?"

I opened a message and a friend told me, "Ni, did you see the news? It seems that something big has happened. Everyone is advised not to go out and stay at home. It's not safe outside."

I was stunned when I saw the message.

It seemed that the situation was more serious than I thought.

I quickly opened the browser and searched for the latest news.

The headlines on the news website were all about a mysterious virus outbreak.

The virus had spread rapidly and had already caused a large number of infections and deaths.

The government had declared a state of emergency and urged everyone to stay at home and avoid going out.

My heart sank as I read the news.

Was this the reason why my mom had called earlier?

Was this the reason why my grandparents had bought so many supplies?

I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine.

What was going to happen next?

I turned off the computer and went to find my grandparents.

I needed their reassurance and guidance in this uncertain time.
