Farming for Survival in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...

Chapter 265 Little Intrigue

The smile on Bi Qiaoan's face almost collapsed, and she asked in tears: "Why, why do you still have to take the stairs?"

Shen Yanming held Bi Qiaoan's hand tightly and said as they walked, "I'm afraid it's unstable and there will be a sudden power outage."

Well, you have a point!

Bi Qiaoan followed Shen Yanming reluctantly. She thought it would only last for two days, but what she didn't know was that Shen Yanming was secretly planning to climb the stairs every day before spring.

Shen Yanming thought to himself that even if there was no sudden power outage, he and Qiao An would still have to move around every day, otherwise what would happen if the delivery didn't go smoothly.

Bi Qiaoan didn't know what her husband was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely point at his forehead and ask loudly: "Whose pregnant woman relies on climbing stairs to exercise? Don't you know that going up and down stairs will wear out your knees?

Besides, who would want to do exercises for childbirth when they are two months pregnant? Your belly is not even swollen, right? "

However, it was precisely because Bi Qiaoan didn't know that she could follow Shen Yanming obediently at this moment. Even if she was not very willing, she did not resist at all.

After returning home, Bi Qiaoan turned on the main lights in the living room immediately. Ah, it was the long-lost feeling of brightness!

Then I happily went through each room and put all the large and small table lamps that I had taken out in the past two days on the balcony, waiting to charge them when the sun came out tomorrow.

Finally, listening to the humming sound of the refrigerator, Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming: "That's good. We have nothing to cover it up in the future."

Chen Yanming couldn't help but laugh, "Then just eat well by yourself. If anyone of them comes to eat for free, they can eat whatever is available. There's no need to subsidize them."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, then turned over the dried meats, and seeing that many of them were completely dry, he said to Shen Yanming, "Go there on Saturday and get them all. Let's vacuum pack them."

"Okay, take Zhang Heping's sweet potato chips and grind them into flour."

In the evening, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan finished dinner early and went to bed.

There was a strong wind outside, and the wind was hitting the glass with banging sounds. Bi Qiaoan was even worried that the glass in his house would be broken by the wind.

Bi Qiaoan was a little irritable and looked towards the window from time to time. Seeing this, Shen Yanming asked, "Why are you so uneasy?"

"I saw in the news before that typhoons can blow away trees and balconies. I'm worried that the glass in my house will also..."

"No, the buildings in our community are of very good quality. Besides, the wind outside is not as strong as you think. We just feel it so obviously because we live on a high floor."

"Really?" Bi Qiaoan was a little unconvinced.

As soon as she finished speaking, the wind outside seemed to have heard their conversation. A strong gust of wind blew past, and even the curtains trembled a few times.

"Look, it's protesting!" Bi Qiaoan pointed at the curtains and complained to Shen Yanming.

Shen Yanming was amused by his wife's childish behavior. He kissed her on the cheek twice and said with a smile, "It's okay, your husband will drive it away for you!"

Then he got out of bed, opened the curtains, and taped the gaps between the windows with transparent tape, layer after layer. When he was done, he lay back in bed and said, "Look, now the curtains won't move!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded, but she felt weird. Was her husband treating her like a three-year-old child?

But she didn't have the courage to ask, so she simply closed her eyes and fell asleep early.

Probably because of her pregnancy, Bi Qiaoan could sleep better than before. Within five minutes, she started snoring.

Shen Yanming quickly turned off his phone and the lights, then held Bi Qiaoan in his arms and fell asleep to her rhythmic snoring.

The next day, they both woke up early again. Since the air conditioner had been on all night, the indoor temperature was still acceptable.

Bi Qiaoan stretched out her arms and let Shen Yanming carry her to the bathroom to wash up, then she went to work after breakfast.

The wind outside has stopped, but it has left many traces.

As soon as I walked out of the garage, I saw dead branches and leaves everywhere on the ground.

After leaving the community, the two saw a GG sign torn in half, crooked street lights, broken tree trunks, scattered bricks, and electric wires dragging on the ground.

"I don't know if there will be a power outage at work." Bi Qiaoan said softly.

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Whether the power is out or not, it will only last for one day. It won't have much impact on us."

After they arrived at the office, they found that Zhu Shiliang had actually come.

"Hey, leader, why are you here today? How are your family members?" Bi Qiaoan greeted Zhu Shiliang with a smile.

Director Zhu smiled and ignored Bi Qiaoan's joke. He just said, "I heard that everyone gave you and Xiao Shen a backdoor so that you two can come in later every day. But I didn't see you two come that late."

"Hey, we were both caught late, and you still said it wasn't too late. I strongly suspect you are being sarcastic."

Zhu Shiliang laughed out loud, and then he said: "It's normal to be late now because the sun rises late. What's more, your situation is special, and Xiao Shen has already reported it to me.

If you don't have anything to do during this period, you can follow your own schedule and don't have to be too strict with the company's work and rest hours."

Zhu Shiliang gave Bi Qiaoan great convenience with just a few words.

Bi Qiaoan was not hypocritical and smiled as she thanked Zhu Shiliang: "Thank you, boss. If I skip work in the future, you can't catch me!"

"become!"

After Bi Qiaoan sat down, Shen Yanming asked, "Director Zhu, you came here today. Have you settled all the things at home?"

Zhu Shiliang's smile faded a little, and he said, "It's about the same. Ranran's grandmother's fever subsided yesterday, and now her condition is relatively stable. I was worried about the unit, so I came to check on her."

"Leader, what's going on?" Yu Shui leaned over and asked.

"The cold and fever caused by the drop in temperature are not a big problem, but there are too many people sick. Going to the hospital to get an injection or an IV requires queuing for a long time, which may cause some delays.

Also, because there was nothing delicious at home to nourish the elderly, it dragged on for several days, and the temperature only dropped yesterday.

The only ones who didn't come to work were Ye Xiaoxiao and Xia Ran. The rest had someone at home who was sick and needed care, so they took a long vacation.

As for Michelle..."

Zhu Shiliang paused for a moment before saying, "I don't know what's going on with her. She didn't ask for leave or go to work, and she didn't answer the phone when I called her.

I was able to get through to her family, but after I got through, they just said, "We can't control whether she falls in love or not!" I felt a little confused.

At this time, Qin Yiren said: "It seems that she went on a blind date some time ago. Could it be that she is with a rich man and doesn't care about this job anymore?"

"Don't talk nonsense. There is no evidence. If this word gets out, it will ruin your reputation," Li Yinhe warned.

Qin Yiren curled her lips and did not mention the fact that Michelle had sent her a message a few days ago, implicitly showing off her partner.
