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. ...
On the way, Shen Yanming got out of the car in a place without cameras, then looked around to make sure no one was watching before taking off his mask.
Look up at the blue sky and let the sunlight give his face a good jolt.
It's not that I'm deliberately looking for trouble; I just want to confirm the effects of those strawberries.
Although the bumps on my face only disappeared after I ate strawberries.
Before lunch, I drank a sip of the spiritual spring water to refresh myself.
I don't know if the spiritual spring water is working too slowly, so I need to do some more experiments.
And so I stood there basking in the sun for over half an hour. Just as I was about to continue sunbathing, I saw someone approaching from a distance.
Shen Yanming quickly put on his mask and then prepared to drive away.
The man waved his hand and said, "Hey buddy up ahead, wait a minute!"
Helpless, Shen Yanming could only wait where he was.
After the guy arrived, he leaned against the car, panting, and asked Shen Yanming, "Dude, can you give me a ride back to the guard unit?"
Shen Yanming nodded: "Get in the car!"
After the two got into the car, the person who flagged it down said, "When I was in the agricultural area, I was hoping to hitch a ride with you. But in the blink of an eye, you've disappeared!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Perhaps you didn't notice when I left."
"Yeah, I asked Captain Ye, and he said you just left. I was so regretful looking at the exhaust fumes. I should have told you to wait for me."
Shen Yanming nodded without saying anything.
Then this guy started rambling on and on: "There were no vehicles to take me back to the guard post from the agricultural area, so I had no choice but to carry those two big bags and keep walking. I kept praying along the way, hoping someone would come and let me ride!"
And guess what? I walked for over ten minutes, and there you were!
Shen Yanming didn't want to chat with people he wasn't familiar with, so he remained silent.
"Dude, you should have left long ago. Why are you still here? Did your car break down?"
This time, Shen Yanming spoke up: "Yes, the car broke down. It had just been fixed when you came over!"
"Oh? What's wrong? How did you fix it? Let me tell you, I'm in charge of the vehicles in the escort team! If there's anything wrong with this car, come find me, I'm an expert!"
Shen Yanming...
I didn't want to talk to this chatterbox, but I didn't expect him to be a technician.
So the two briefly introduced themselves and exchanged contact information.
Shen Yanming thought to himself, who knows when he might need to use the other party.
The guy who knows how to fix cars thinks the same way. Knowing more people means more options, right? It's a win-win situation!
To do a good deed to the end, one should see it through to the end.
Shen Yanming took Cheng Jiaye directly to the repair shop. When the mechanics inside came out to greet him, he was even more certain of the guy's identity.
They then drove to the dormitory building, carried the flour bags home, and finally returned the car to the parking lot.
When he returned, Shen Yanming, just like before, took every opportunity to bask in the sun.
When he got home, his face was completely red.
Bi Qiaoan knew what he had done as soon as she saw him. She didn't say anything, but just quietly moved away from him.
Shen Yanming looked at his wife's little actions, smiled helplessly, and could only let her be.
There's nothing I can do; I'm a source of infection myself.
He told Qiao An about what he had just found out, and she relayed it to Hu Xiaoqin without delay.
After relaying the information, she glanced at Shen Yanming. Seeing him nod, she knew she hadn't said anything wrong.
Hu Xiaoqin was thrilled to hear this, never expecting that a stranger she had only met a few times would be willing to help her so much.
She was prepared for the truth to be lost forever.
It's only been a short time, less than two hours, and they not only made the trip but also brought back definite news.
The key point is that there's still news that you can get the baby formula.
People are really different. Those who are capable will be capable anywhere.
Hu Xiaoqin nodded excitedly, then said to Bi Qiaoan, "Qiaoan, thank you so much! I didn't expect you to get it done so quickly! Thank you so much!"
My husband, Guimin, said he'd exchange any produce from within two acres of land. I never expected you two to manage to get the price down to half of what we planned. This will make our guilt about switching formula for our unborn child much less.”
Bi Qiaoan was unwilling to accept this favor. She smiled and said, "Don't thank me. The guards should be grateful! I'm just passing on a message. Whether they'll exchange it or not, and at what price, is all regulated. It doesn't matter who comes; it's not something I can change."
"I was lucky this time, I ran into an easy-going leader, and that's how I got permission. Otherwise, it would have been very difficult."
Bi Qiaoan said this purely out of concern that the other party would come to her every few days to exchange things.
Although she could refuse, she found it too troublesome and preferred to nip the other person's idea in the bud from the start.
Hu Xiaoqin, whether she understood or not, just kept saying, "Yes, yes, I know!"
Having finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan was about to hang up when Hu Xiaoqin asked, "Qiaoan, when should I come over to see you?"
Bi Qiaoan was a little dumbfounded: "Isn't it a bit of a rush? Sister Qin, you're only five months pregnant. Aren't you afraid the formula will expire so early?"
"Well, I'm just worried about things not going as planned. Like you said, this time I met an easy-going leader, but what if next time the leader isn't there or has been transferred? Wouldn't I be unable to get the job?"
Bi Qiaoan...
I feel like I've really been "bitten back".
But since the other party was in such a hurry, she decided not to delay any longer.
"You can come over whenever you're free. But think it over carefully, because once you change your mind, there's no going back."
Hu Xiaoqin nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, don't worry, you won't regret it. There are so many people who want milk powder but can't buy it, how could you regret it!"
"Even if I really regret it, I can resell it and maybe even make a profit!" Hu Xiaoqin thought to herself.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Okay, whatever makes you happy!"
After hanging up the phone, before I could even say two words to my husband, his phone rang.
No need to guess, this time it's definitely Guo Tingshuo.
Sure enough, the caller ID read: "Captain Guo!"
"Hey Yanming, I just called a few of them. They're all thinking of trying it out during the day. What about you? Any problems?"
Shen Yanming glanced at his wife, and although reluctant, he nodded: "Okay!"
"Okay, then you don't need to come over tonight. Just come to work before dawn tomorrow morning."
"Um!"
"I suggest we set off before 3:30, since it's getting light earlier and earlier these days. By 4:00, it's already getting light."
"Okay, I understand!"
