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 503 Torment
After they finished watching and returned to the living room, they began to speak loudly one by one.
In the end, it was nothing more than praising the two little babies for being cute and pretty.
Although Bi Qiaoan wanted to be modest, she couldn't go against her conscience and say that her baby was ugly, so she smiled shyly and thanked everyone.
After finishing the watermelon and melon seeds in the fruit bowl, the sisters prepared to leave because Shen Yanming had already prepared dinner and came out of the kitchen.
Although they really wanted to invite them to dinner, no one dared to invite so many people to dinner nowadays. If their family started this, it would be a taboo.
What's more, Comrade Lao Shen only prepared a few dishes, which were more than enough for the couple and Zhang Heping, and adding one or two more would not be a problem. But facing these nearly twenty sisters, he really felt powerless.
These loving sisters were all very considerate. Seeing that it was getting late, they all stood up and said goodbye, saying that they were going home for dinner.
Shen Yanming did not try to persuade them to stay, but only smiled and invited them to come to his house when they were free. The elder sisters agreed, but whether they would come or not was another matter.
After everyone left, he cleared the trash and cleaned the coffee table. Zhang Heping also helped by roughly mopping the floor.
Then they went into the kitchen and brought the food to the table. There was a dish of beef stewed with potatoes, a dish of cold cucumber salad, a dish of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, boiled pork slices and shredded pork with green peppers, which made Zhang Heping stare blankly.
He slurped his saliva twice, unable to bear to look away. He volunteered to help everyone serve rice, and then devoured it without being asked.
Bi Qiaoan was full of envy, but she could only drink the beef soup in the bowl. The red meat slices and the emerald green onions were beautiful in color, but tasteless. There wasn't much fat, so it wouldn't make her feel sick.
After dinner, although it was a little dark outside, it was still clear. After Shen Yanming cleaned the dishes, he took Zhang Heping to visit the guard team.
Of course, we only go to places that we can go to. If we can’t go to a place, I’m afraid Shen Yanming can’t even enter the door.
It took them almost two hours to complete the whole circle. Shen Yanming usually exercises, so he didn't feel anything, but Zhang Heping felt a little tired.
He slumped down on a bench next to the playground, wanting to rest for a while. Shen Yanming had no objection and stayed by his side.
But as I was accompanying him, I saw Li Gangtie. It turned out that he had seen the rain stop and felt a little restless at home, so he came out to stretch his muscles.
When he saw Shen Yanming, he was a little surprised. He hurried forward and asked, "Why are you discharged so soon? I thought it would take at least a week!"
Shen Yanming smiled and explained: "Qiao An recovered very well and will be discharged from the hospital in three days. We hurried back now that the rain has stopped."
Li Gangtie nodded, "What about the baby?"
"Very healthy, changing every day, growing very fast!" said Shen Yanming.
Li Gangtie laughed loudly, "You are so lucky, not only do you marry a beautiful wife, but you are even better than others in giving birth to children!"
"Yeah, I think so too!" Although he admitted that it was a bit shameless, Lao Shen really thought so.
The two of them were talking as if no one was around, but Zhang Heping, who was listening at the side, was very jealous.
Because he is really envious! When will he be able to marry a beautiful wife and have a cute baby?
But he just thought about it and decided that this kind of thing had to be left to nature and there was no need to rush.
Li Gangtie asked: "When can I visit your home? I'm really curious about what your baby looks like!"
Chen Yanming smiled and said, "Any time is fine. I'll make the bed ready for you."
"That's what you said. I'll come to your house for a stroll later." Li Gangtie said.
"Sure." Shen Yanming calculated the time and said, "Who knows, when you go there, the babies will just wake up."
"Hmm? That's great, I can even play with them." Li Gangtie was obviously happy, and his words showed his eagerness to try.
Shen Yanming nodded, but his face darkened a little when he thought of the thrilling experience when he came back.
Li Gangtie was confused and asked, "What happened? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Shen Yanming hesitated for a moment and told what happened on the way back. He asked, "Didn't our guard team arrange people to eliminate the hidden dangers?"
After hearing this, Li Gangtie's face turned pale. "I have arranged for someone to do this, but I think I missed the tree."
Shen Yanming was afraid that he would misunderstand that the guards did not do their job properly, so he quickly explained: “We didn’t notice that there was anything wrong with the tree when we were on the road. It was so sudden that the branch fell down, which scared us all.
I observed that it must have been blocked by the branches below, so we didn't notice the potential danger until it fell.
I told you this because I was worried that something similar would happen, not because I wanted to sue anyone."
"Well, I know. Don't I know that you don't take on tasks?" Li Gangtie smiled. "Okay, I'll go make the arrangements first, and then I'll go to your house to take a look."
"Okay, I'll go home and get ready, you can come over anytime."
After they finished talking, they separated.
One went to the office to arrange for personnel to re-check the streets and alleys for hidden dangers, while the other went home and asked his wife to feed the babies first.
Of course Zhang Heping followed Shen Yanming.
He had seen enough of the escort team. His sore legs had almost recovered. He thought there was nothing to regret, so he prepared to say goodbye and return to the hospital.
But Shen Yanming stopped him, "Now that you're here, why are you in such a hurry? It's going to be dark soon, how can I let you walk at night without worry? Besides, this place is deserted and there are no cars. If I don't take you home, how can you go back?"
Zhang Heping was speechless. He knew that what Lao Shen said was true. But he was embarrassed to disturb the young couple.
As if knowing his concerns, Shen Yanming directly put his arm around his shoulders and walked back, "Okay, I'll send you off at dawn tomorrow, and I'll make sure you don't miss work."
Zhang Heping nodded and accepted it. Since he couldn't go back anyway, he might as well stay here for one night.
It was a good thing he didn't leave, because he had a fever in the middle of the night, and the temperature was so high that it almost burned his brain.
Shen Yanming also went to the bathroom to pour water and deal with the babies' poop. When he passed by the guest bedroom, he heard Zhang Heping's groaning.
He frowned, feeling something was wrong. He knocked on the door twice, but when no one answered, he called out, "Heping, are you okay?"
His shout was so loud that it woke up Bi Qiaoan who was in a daze. She put on her clothes and came out, asking Shen Yanming: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yanming did not answer, feeling a little uneasy.
He put his ear against the door and felt that the humming sound inside seemed to be more obvious, and he actually heard a bit of torment.
