Chapter 993 Worrying in vain
Shen Yanming collected the quilt and held it in his arms.
Qi Xili even laughed at him: "You have quite a complete set of equipment, why did you go up there specially to get it?"
"That's right, otherwise what would happen to my baby if he got cold? Everyone should love their own child, you don't understand how it feels!"
Qi Xili disagreed and started to argue with him. Bi Qiaoan was not surprised, but Qi Xili was stunned.
She looked incredulous and asked An An Nuan Nuan in a low voice: "Is this how Uncle Shen and Uncle Qi usually get along?"
An An Nuan Nuan nodded affirmatively.
Li Tongtong patted his chest and whispered, "I have to share this with my dad when I get back. He will never expect it."
Qi Xili's ears were sharp. He turned his head and said sinisterly: "What are you sharing? Isn't this the case when your dad is at Yanming's house? How embarrassed would your dad be if you tell him?" In fact, he wanted to maintain his own image.
Li Tongtong was startled and quickly raised her hand: "Is it okay if I don't say anything?"
Qi Xili was satisfied, nodded and smiled: "Well, not bad, good, promising!"
Li Tongtong was frightened by his smile and wondered if it was too late to escape now.
When they got home, the unfinished chicken and potatoes in the pot were still warm. Shen Yanming asked, "Are you hungry? Do you want to continue eating?"
Qi Xili patted his stomach and said, "I have already digested it. I ran around the base for a whole circle. I am so tired."
Shen Yanming served him a bowl and also served Li Tongtong a bowl. Li Tongtong didn't want to come here to eat for free, especially meat, which was in short supply. But when Qi Xili glared at her, she became obedient and didn't even say a word of refusal.
An An Nuan Nuan, on the other hand, shook her head and said she was full.
"How's the situation? I feel like Area A is fine!" Shen Yanming sat down and asked.
Qi Xili said as he ate, "It wasn't a big deal. The buildings here are pretty solid, so nothing serious happened. But over in District D, a few households cut corners. The foundations weren't deep enough, the walls weren't strong enough, and the houses collapsed before there was a big earthquake. Fortunately, there weren't many people there, so Lao Li went over there to help."
"Were there any casualties?"
"No one died, but a few were injured. They were all small one-story houses, so even if they collapsed, they wouldn't cause serious injuries, unless they were particularly unlucky."
Shen Yanming nodded: "I don't know why there was an earthquake all of a sudden."
Qi Xili looked up at him and said nothing. Li Tongtong pricked up her ears to listen, and she felt sorry when she saw Qi Xili shut up.
After eating, he praised Bi Qiaoan: "Aunt, you are such a good cook. This chicken stewed with potatoes is really delicious."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "I made a lot, so I'll take some with me when I leave."
Li Tongtong quickly shook her head: "How can I eat and take at the same time!"
Chen Yanming signaled Bi Qiaoan to fill the rest for Li Tongtong. He smiled and said, "Your parents have worked hard today. You can take this home and heat it up to eat. This will save them from having to cook in the evening."
Li Tongtong recalled the miserable state of her father every time she rescued him, and nodded in acceptance. She also felt sorry for her parents, and there might be limits to what she could do. Since Uncle Shen was helping, she would take care of An An and Nuan Nuan more in the future.
The couple had no idea what Li Tongtong was thinking. After putting the meat in the lunch box, they placed it next to the stove.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. It was Li Tongtong's mother, Ding Chengyan.
Ding Chengyan was stunned when she saw the lunch box in her daughter's arms. After knowing the whole story, she refused again and again, but Qi Xili said, "It's okay, just take it back. I'll kill a pheasant for Yanming some other day as a reward."
Ding Chengyan sighed helplessly, thanked the two of them, and left with Tongtong.
After everyone left, Qi Xili said, "News came from the Imperial Capital that this earthquake was felt all over Qinghua. It can even be said that the entire world was shaken. However, the magnitude was not that large, and the casualties and economic losses were limited."
Both of them were stunned and asked hurriedly: "Is the next disaster an earthquake? A large-scale, frequent earthquake? Is this just an appetizer?"
Qi Xili shook his head: "I don't know, the higher-ups are not sure either. This is internal information, and they dare not announce it to the public, for fear of causing unrest.
Just keep it to yourself, but don’t tell anyone. I’m telling you this so that you can be mentally prepared and not sleep too soundly at night. If an earthquake occurs, escape immediately.”
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan nodded, indicating that they understood.
An An Nuan Nuan didn't know what to say after hearing these words. Qi Xili smiled and rubbed the two little ones' heads: "Did you hear it, right?"
The two treasures nodded.
"If you heard it, keep it a secret for godfather. Whoever tells others is a puppy!"
An An Nuan Nuan quickly assured: "Godfather, we won't tell anyone."
"Okay, Godfather believes in you!"
At night, after the family of four fell asleep, there was indeed an earthquake outside.
Shen Yanming was a light sleeper, so he woke up immediately. There were many acquaintances here, so it was not convenient to send the two babies to the space. He woke up his wife, and the couple each took one of the two babies and ran away.
The two of them didn't take off their clothes when they went to bed that night, just to prevent any accidents. An An and Nuan Nuan were tossed around so much that they were dazed. They woke up when the cold wind blew, and what they saw was a sky full of stars.
"Dad, is there another earthquake?" An An's voice is not as soft as before, but it is still clear and pleasant. The little boy whose voice has not yet changed makes people want to protect him.
Shen Yanming patted his son's back and said softly, "Go to sleep, it's okay, your mother and I are here."
An An murmured and fell asleep. Nuan Nuan opened her eyes and saw that there was no danger, so she also began to snore.
It was the middle of the night and many people in the building were fast asleep, while some had woken up and needed to get dressed, so they were not coming down so quickly.
On September nights, the temperature could drop below zero. We couldn't stand it and went home before we had even stayed there for half an hour.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan followed the crowd back. But they were worried and didn't dare to let the children stay outside. They took off their clothes and sent them directly into the space.
So much so that when An An and Nuan Nuan woke up, they thought they were dreaming. It was only when Bi Qiao An let them out that they were sure that their parents had made an exception for them.
The two children were in a good mood and went to school after breakfast. Although the environment outside was unstable, the school classes did not stop.
Bi Qiaoan was quite worried, but it was only after Shen Yanming persuaded her, "You must believe in our baby," that she reluctantly agreed.
An An Nuan Nuan also nodded her head, patted her thigh and said, "Don't worry, Mom, the training over the past two years was not in vain. My sister and I can run very fast."
Bi Qiaoan couldn't bear to imprison them, so he said, "You two must be careful."
Chen Yanming watched the three of them bidding farewell to each other and felt that the black lines on his forehead were about to fall off.
"Don't be so exaggerated. An'an and Nuan'nuan's classroom is on the first floor. At worst, they can sit by the window. When the earthquake comes, they can just jump out of the window. It's fast and safe."
Bi Qiaoan slapped his forehead and suddenly realized: "Yes, then I was worried for nothing."
