Chapter 269: He Won't Starve to Death
"Nowadays, even if you have meat and eggs, you may not be able to exchange them for food, because everyone is afraid of not having enough food, so they try their best to stock up. Except for my dad...
Oh, let’s not talk about it anymore. No matter what, my dad means well.
Because there was no rice or noodles, we could only take out the valuable things at home to exchange for food. We didn't get much, and they were all coarse grains, but no matter what, it was better than starving.
That’s right, I’ve talked to all my relatives and friends, and they’re all afraid of me. Now everyone avoids me when they see me.”
Before meeting Zeng Yiming, Shen Yanming could not imagine that his life would become like this. He thought Zeng Yiming would make some preparations, but he did not expect...
In fact, it was not that Zeng Yiming was not prepared, but that he was prepared but did not explain it clearly to his family, causing Zeng's father to mistakenly believe that he had connections, and thus acted somewhat recklessly.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan felt speechless after hearing this, but what could they say? They could only comfort each other that everything would pass.
Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan prepared to say goodbye.
Zeng Yiming hurriedly stopped the two of them and said, "Just stay at home tonight. Although the conditions are average, there are still beds and beddings."
Shen Yanming shook his head. "Let's just find a hotel outside to stay for one night. You guys are pretty busy during this period, so Qiao An and I won't cause any more trouble for you."
"How can this be a source of trouble? You are helping us in times of need!"
Shen Yanming smiled and waved at Zeng Yiming, "Okay, stop talking, hurry up and make some food and send it to uncle and aunt. Qiao An and I will come to see you tomorrow."
Seeing this, Zeng Yiming did not try to keep them. After watching the two leave, he went to the kitchen, grabbed a handful of millet and cooked a pot of thick porridge.
On the way, Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming: "Do you want to send them food?"
Chen Yanming shook his head. "We are not prepared and have no connections right now. We are powerless and can only talk about it later."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and asked Shen Yanming, "What do you think Zeng Yiming would do if we hadn't come? Would he starve to death?"
Shen Yanming chuckled and said, "Silly girl, no one can starve to death, but Zeng Yiming will not die of starvation!
Don't look at him as he is having a miserable time now, with nothing at home and having to starve, but that's because something happened at home and he has no time to worry about these things.
Since he can get these dried fruits, it means he has some skills. It is not impossible to exchange dried fruits for food.
We two are at best the icing on the cake, but we can’t really be regarded as providing timely help.”
"Did you forget your pills?" Bi Qiaoan rolled his eyes at Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming nodded, "Yes, I forgot. Let's not mention this matter in the future, so as not to cause trouble for ourselves.
Moreover, the other party only knows that we gave them medicine to stop the disease from getting worse. Even if they recover in the future, it will be the credit of the doctors and nurses, and has nothing to do with us. "
"Hehe, I know. This is called leaving after the work is done, hiding the merit and fame!"
"Yes, that's it."
The two of them walked around South City and picked a hotel that looked pretty good and not too far from the hospital to stay in.
The temperature in Nanshi is acceptable, about 7 or 8 degrees during the day and 3 or 4 degrees at night.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were not used to living outside, so they just took off their coats, washed their faces and feet, and lay down on the bed to rest.
"Why did you insist on letting me take your phone today?" Shen Yanming asked.
Bi Qiaoan touched his nose guiltily, "Hehe, I just recorded a voice, I'm afraid they will cause trouble in the future."
"You!" Shen Yanming touched Bi Qiaoan's head lovingly, then took out the letter of guarantee from the space and showed it to Bi Qiaoan.
"It seems that this person is not bad and reliable!" After reading it carefully, Bi Qiaoan asked Shen Yanming to put it into the space.
Then they chatted for a while and fell asleep in each other's arms.
The next morning, the two went to the hotel restaurant to eat, only to find out that nowadays hotels only provide accommodation and not food. No wonder Zeng Yiming had to find ways to exchange for food.
Their stomachs were rumbling, so they had to go back to the room, take out two boxes of milk and two bags of bread from Bi Qiaoan's bag, and then wolf them down.
After filling their stomachs, the two checked out of the hotel and drove to the hospital.
Bi Qiaoan was still waiting in the car, and Shen Yanming went upstairs alone.
Shen Yanming walked to the door of the ward, heard someone talking inside, and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Zeng Yiming shouted.
When Shen Yanming opened the door, he saw a family of three eating breakfast. Zeng Yiming and his father drank cornmeal porridge, while his mother drank millet porridge.
"Yanming, thank you so much. The doctor said that the medicine is very effective. My mother is in much better spirits!" Zeng Yiming held Shen Yanming's hand and said excitedly.
"As long as it works, as long as it works, I hope Auntie can recover soon." Shen Yanming felt a little awkward being pulled by a big man, but he was too embarrassed to pull it out directly.
Zeng's father might have noticed it, so he said, "Why are you standing there? Let Xiao Shen sit down!"
Zeng Yiming quickly let go of Shen Yanming and brought a chair to him.
Chen Yanming waved his hand and said, "I just came to see how Auntie is doing. I'm relieved that the medicine works. Qiao An and I plan to go back first. We have to go to work tomorrow. We can go back early and rest before dawn."
"Are you leaving? We haven't treated you properly since you came here!" Zeng's father said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Yes, Yanming, how about you stay in Nanshi for two days so I can take you around?" Zeng Yiming also tried his best to keep him.
"No, no, it's not like we haven't been here before. Let's get together again when we have the chance. Auntie's health is critical recently, and we're not coming here to burden you." Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Seeing that the other party really had no intention of staying, Zeng Yiming thought for a moment and said, "How about you take those things away with you? If you let me deliver them, it might take at least a month."
"Sure, please help me contact the other party, and I will go directly to pick up the goods."
Although Zeng's father didn't know what goods they were talking about, he knew that his son was dealing in things, so he said, "Let Yiming go. I'm watching over his mother here, so she'll be fine."
Zeng's mother also nodded and pointed outside the door.
"Uncle and aunt, there's no need to be so troublesome. I can do it alone. Let Yiming stay with you. If anything happens, it will be convenient if he is here."
"Okay, I'll go with you. It's not in the same place, so you may not be able to find it even if you go there." Zeng Yiming said with a smile, and then called the companies he had contacted.
After Shen Yanming followed Zeng Yiming out of the ward, he was still a little embarrassed, "I really didn't think of taking the things back by the way. I knew you were busy, so how could I come here to trouble you? What's more, I'm not in a hurry."
