I Farm and Survive in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...

Chapter 497 Leaving

Zhang Heping has been very busy these past few days, constantly dealing with emergency patients. He also has to spare time to look after Gu Qiaoan, which is really making him quite exhausted.

Shen Yanming wanted to use the coffee beans produced in the space to refresh him, but his work environment was really not suitable for something that required time to grind.

Instant coffee powder is more convenient; you can brew a cup while you're taking a break to drink water.

Zhang Heping took the bottle without asking where it came from, and said happily, "Old Shen, you're so thoughtful, I need this right now!"

Shen Yanming nodded, "Drink it without worry. If your colleagues need some, you can share some with them too. I have connections here, so supplying you in the short term shouldn't be a problem."

He dared not make a promise for a lifetime, for fear that one day the world would collapse and he would have no reason or excuse to produce anything.

Zhang Heping excitedly hugged Shen Yanming, said, "I feel like I've latched onto a golden thigh, hehehe!", and ran away.

Shen Yanming, who remained where he was, smiled with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.

Of course, this kind of pampering is different from the way he spoils his wife. He can be tolerant, generous, and fulfilling towards his friends, but he indulges his wife without any limits.

After everyone left, Shen Yanming didn't actually cook soup or porridge for Qiao An. Instead, he took out soybean and pig's trotter soup and some seasonal vegetables from his spatial storage, telling her to eat as much as she could.

After thanking her husband, Bi Qiaoan ate a couple of bites of each item. Although she had cherry lips, there were just too many varieties. Two bites of each was enough to fill her up.

The remaining food wasn't wasted. After Old Shen ate some himself, he put it back into his spatial storage, waiting to eat it again next time.

Of course, it's for him to eat; his wife should eat fresh food.

Time flies, and before you know it, it's time for Qiao An to be discharged from the hospital.

She has recovered quickly in the past two days, and all tests have shown no problems.

The two little ones are growing so fast! Their skin is smooth and soft, no longer wrinkled. Their eyes have opened too, and they're bright and lively. They're absolutely adorable!

Every time the couple saw their children wake up, they couldn't help but tease them because they were just so beautiful. In just a few days, their features had softened, and it was clear that they would grow up to be a handsome young man and a beautiful young woman.

Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan don't care much about appearance, but who wouldn't like their own baby to be beautiful and cute?

Even Zhang Heping, a very busy man, was captivated by the "beauty" of the two babies, and would sneak over to kiss and hug them whenever he had a spare moment.

Of course, hugging is fine, but kissing is out of the question.

Old Shen, a father himself, hadn't even dared to kiss his son and daughter on the cheek, so how could he allow an outsider to seize the opportunity? He had sharp eyes and would jump out to stop Zhang Heping every time he was about to succeed.

This really annoyed Zhang Heping, making him grit his teeth in anger, yet he also felt wronged. It certainly added a lot of laughs to the situation!

When they were notified that they could be discharged, Bi Qiaoan even felt a little reluctant to leave. But the hospital felt too restrictive for the couple.

Without saying a word, they finished the formalities and started packing. Zhang Heping, sporting dark circles under his eyes, also came to help.

Although he logs on every now and then these past two days, he's actually very busy.

It was only because the rain had subsided in the last couple of days, and most of the people who were flooded and trapped outside had been rescued, that he had the opportunity to switch shifts with his colleague and come to take the couple home.

There was no other way; they had no relatives, and even during childbirth, he was the only one who could help them. If he hadn't intervened this time, he couldn't even imagine how Qiao An would have managed to carry two swaddled babies back to the guard unit with Old Shen.

When he changed out of his white coat and walked into the ward, he saw that Shen Yanming had almost finished packing. It was similar to when he arrived: a suitcase and a black backpack. However, there were now two little ones and a black plastic bag for miscellaneous items.

Without a word, Zhang Heping picked up his suitcase. Shen Yanming slung his backpack over his shoulder and carried a plastic bag as he walked to the side.

When the two of them reached the lobby on the first floor and looked outside, they saw that it was drizzling.

Zhang Heping said, "Old Shen, why don't you stay for two more days until the rain completely stops before going home? Otherwise, I'm afraid the babies will catch a fever or a cold from getting wet in the rain."

Shen Yanming didn't want to go home on a nice day; it's just that he and Qiao An hadn't been eating or sleeping well during their stay at the hospital. Now, they really wanted to find a private space where they could completely relax and recharge.

Moreover, it's hard to say what the weather will be like that day. Who can guarantee that a strong wind or a thunderstorm won't break out at any moment?

So he smiled and refused, "Wrapping them up should be fine. If we wait any longer, I'm afraid Joan will go crazy."

"But..."

Zhang Heping wanted to say something, but Shen Yanming interrupted him, "Heping, you know that weather forecasts are practically useless these days, so how reliable are the weather change trends?"

"While the rain is light now, I can still get back. If I delay and it turns into a downpour, wouldn't that be a loss?"

Zhang Heping knew he had a point, so he didn't insist on his own opinion. After helping to put the things in the trunk, the two returned to the ward to pick up Bi Qiaoan.

At this moment, Bi Qiaoan was sitting by the hospital bed, putting raincoats on her two little babies.

Basically, you just fold an adult raincoat over a swaddle blanket and secure it with tape. Finally, you can put the hood over the baby's head, and they'll be completely protected from the rain.

However, she doesn't plan to use the plastic hat, fearing it might obstruct the two babies' breathing. If it rains heavily outside, she'll just hold the children in her arms.

After getting everything ready, she started talking to her two darlings: "Mommy's little darlings, we'll be going home soon. Our home is in the Sea City Guard Station. On the way, you'll see cars speeding by and tall trees..."

Because the two babies were too small to interact with her, it seemed as if she was talking to herself.

Seeing this, Shen Yanming smiled, picked up the swaddled baby wrapped in plastic, and said, "Wife, let's go home!"

Bi Qiaoan nodded excitedly and then took the other swaddled baby into her arms.

Zhang Heping was a little envious and wanted to help Qiao An, but Shen Yanming refused: "You drive for us!"

Zhang Heping felt like he had just walked into a trap to be humiliated. He reluctantly raised his voice and went to press the elevator button for everyone.

Newborns' eyes are actually not very bright. They can sense light from the outside world, but they cannot see people's faces or the outlines of objects.

Although Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan really wanted their little ones to see the outside world, they were still worried that they would be disturbed by bacteria in the air, the bustling crowds, and the hot and humid air.

So I decided to cover the baby's head with the hood to create a relatively enclosed environment.

Once they reached the first floor, although Bi Qiaoan felt that the drizzle wouldn't have much of an impact, Shen Yanming insisted that Zhang Heping drive the car to the entrance before the two of them got back into the car.
