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 609 The meal is bitter

But she did not give up. She put two sponges on her shoulders and returned to the orchard.

This time, in addition to putting a few durians in the backpack, Bi Qiaoan also held two large coconuts in his hands.

She acted like a strong woman, but in reality she was just a weakling.

Along the way, I walked five steps and rested for two steps. I felt like I was going to collapse from exhaustion.

But she persisted and never put down her things from beginning to end.

It was not until he walked into the storage area that Bi Qiaoan put the weight on the ground, then brought an electronic scale and placed the backpack and coconuts on it, only then did he know how much he had been carrying.

Ah, five durians and the backpack weigh 75 kilograms in total. Two coconuts weigh 16 kilograms in total.

The combined weight of nearly 100 kilograms stunned Bi Qiaoan.

You know, it takes almost half an hour to walk from the orchard to the storage area.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Bi Qiaoan found a pack of wet wipes from the grocery shelf, took out one and wiped his hands clean.

Then I went to the place where the spiritual fruits were kept, ate a strawberry and a grape, and I felt that all the fatigue in my body was almost gone.

I felt so comfortable all over, as if my strength had increased.

She smiled, laughing at herself for wanting to improve her strength so much that she started to have hallucinations.

Then he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked back to the mobile home.

Although she could still make another round trip, she was worried about her two little babies, so she decided to go back and take a look first.

An An Nuan Nuan was sleeping soundly, smacking her lips and smiling slightly.

Bi Qiaoan covered them both with a blanket, then walked into the study, got some Chinese medicinal herbs, and started making medicine.

Others have to go to the office to work, but she can do it at home.

In addition to preparing the medicinal powders and pills that Li Gangtie requested, Bi Qiaoan also prepared some scar removal creams.

Although the research institute has only launched inhibitors, there has been such great progress, so isn’t it only a matter of time before a cure is achieved?

Bi Qiaoan was so focused on preparing the medicine that he completely forgot about time.

Even until Shen Yanming came back and dinner was ready, Bi Qiaoan was still immersed in his own world, very focused.

"Knock, knock, knock." Bi Qiaoan looked up with confused eyes. After a while, he realized that someone was knocking on the door!

She came to her senses at once and quickly got up to open the door.

Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan, who looked a little tired, and smiled as he took her hand: "Wife, it's time for dinner."

Bi Qiaoan was surprised and asked, "What time is it?"

"Half past seven!"

"It's so late already? What about An'an and Nuan'nuan? Did she wake up and cry?"

Shen Yanming rubbed her long hair: "Luckily, they woke up when I came back. I fed them milk powder and they are sleeping now."

Bi Qiaoan nodded, and then said, "I am such an incompetent mother. I actually forgot about my two babies when I was working."

Shen Yanming could understand, “This state of concentration is rare, and it’s hard to say whether I can achieve it next time.”

The two walked into the restaurant together, and after dinner, they talked about what happened in the afternoon.

After listening to Qiao An's tricks, Shen Yanming was dumbfounded.

He stammered, "Wife, you want to exercise the strength of your limbs, so will carrying heavy objects help?"

Bi Qiaoan puffed up his cheeks and said, "I'm worried too. I don't know how to increase my strength quickly."

Shen Yanming pondered for a moment and said, "Let's ask Li Gangtie and let him give us some guidance."

Bi Qiaoan nodded and thought it was okay.

But when I think of my bold words of "hugging my husband" in the early morning, I feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Yanming didn't know about the conversation between Bi Qiaoan and Li Gangtie. He was a little puzzled when he saw a blush on his wife's cheek.

Just when I was about to ask something, I heard a cell phone ringing outside the space.

The couple thought it was Li Gangtie or Qi Xili who were informing them of something, so they looked at each other and quickly left the space.

As it turned out, it was Zhang Heping who called.

As soon as the call was connected, Zhang Heping started crying, "Old Shen, please come and bring me some noodles. It can't eat the food in the hospital cafeteria anymore!"

Shen Yanming was confused: "Please explain clearly, what's going on?"

"It's been a week in a row. The food in the hospital is bitter. I really can't eat it anymore. Please send me some noodles. Anyway, I can't perform surgery during this period. I'm usually free. I will go home and cook for myself."

Shen Yanming frowned: "Wait, tell me clearly what you mean by the food in the hospital is bitter."

Zhang Heping didn't know what to say, he said with a sad face: "Anyway, it's bitter, just like bitter gourd.

At first I thought the chef had put bitter melon in it, so I just put up with it. Then I found that it had been like this for a week, so I went to ask him. But the chef didn't know what was going on.

Many people have reported this to him, but he just cooked as usual and did nothing else.

We tested the ingredients again and found nothing unusual. "

Chen Yanming was silent for a while before saying, "It's no problem to send you noodles. The key is, have you finished eating at home? Also, you still have to go to work, do you have time to go home and cook?"

Zhang Heping smiled bitterly: "Anyway, we work in shifts, so we can just go back when we can. The noodles at home..."

He didn't continue, Shen Yanming guessed that it was either given away or broken. The latter was most likely the case.

Shen Yanming didn't get to the bottom of it, he just said: "I may not be able to take care of it recently, I will send it to you when I am free."

Zhang Heping was happy now, and said cheerfully: "It's okay, it's okay. If you are really busy, I can go and get it!"

"I'll go and take you there. Qiao An and I both have to attend the guard team's training at night. Even if you come, no one will be home. As for the daytime, forget it. You've managed to save your face with great difficulty, so don't waste it."

Zhang Heping was furious when he heard this. But what he asked was: "The guard team has resumed training? It's fine, but why did you ask Qiao An to join? What about the two babies? Are you just leaving them at home?"

Shen Yanming smiled and explained: "The child slept until dawn, and we will come back to take a look halfway, it's okay!"

Zhang Heping wanted to say something, but Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Okay, okay, it's getting late. We need to get ready and set off again. You stay in the hospital for a while. When I'm free, I'll just put the food in your kitchen."

Zhang Heping nodded: "Okay, but don't put too much in. I'm afraid it will get bad in the heat."

"Yes, I know!"

After Shen Yanming hung up the phone, he told Bi Qiaoan about it.

Bi Qiaoan was silent for a while before saying, "How about you give Ji Kangyong a call and ask?"

Shen Yanming nodded and dialed the number.

It turned out that they didn't find anything wrong with the food at all.

When asked, Ji Kangyong looked puzzled: "It's OK. Recently, the chef is afraid that everyone will get angry, so he stir-fries a pot of bitter melon every day."
