"So, shall we go home now?" Although it was already 5:30, the sun was still high in the sky, showing no sign of setting.
"Let's go shopping and buy some things for the babies," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
Bi Qiaoan was completely confused. Her home had everything, but then she realized that, on the surface, they hadn't prepared clothes, bedding, bottles, or formula for the baby yet.
So the two of them went straight to Times Square, parked their car, and immediately began a shopping spree.
Because they had plenty of supplies, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan rarely went shopping, which naturally saved their allowance. This time, they could use it all to buy baby supplies.
Four sets of baby clothes, two baby bottles, two pairs of baby shoes, two sets of baby blankets, and several packs of diapers...
As for baby formula, well, forget about it, we don't have any!
Okay, neither of them needs it.
Oh, and I also need to buy a lock, the super anti-theft kind.
And so, they bought everything they could, spending all their allowance, before finally returning home satisfied.
Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan to the sofa and fiddled with the tools for a long time before finally changing the door lock. Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but sigh, her husband had been forced to become a jack-of-all-trades.
After changing the locks, Shen Yanming remembered that there were still many dirty clothes to wash, and oh right, the sheets from last night's bed.
So, she went to the bedroom, took off the dirty sheets and blankets, wrapped them up, and then picked up the small clothes and mattress she had just bought that day, and went into the space with Bi Qiaoan.
He took two oranges, squeezed a glass of juice, and handed it to his wife before going to pack up the clothes.
The bed sheets, duvet covers, and adult clothes were thrown directly into the washing machine for washing. As for the swaddle blankets and baby clothes bought today, Shen Yanming put them in a basin and washed them by hand.
Fortunately, they were all new, so they didn't need much scrubbing or washing; a simple rinse was enough.
But thinking that the baby's clothes would probably need to be changed frequently, he found several identical sets in the storage area and washed them all. That way, even if he changed three sets a day, no one would notice anything unusual.
Before long, clothes filled the corridors and balconies of the mobile villa. Watching them flutter in the wind, Shen Yanming felt extremely satisfied.
After that, the two of them lived a carefree, laid-back life.
Take a stroll in the space, pick flowers, and make medicine.
However, this time when Shen Yanming was making the powder and pills, he did not ask Bi Qiaoan to stay away. Instead, he explained the types of medicinal materials, their properties, and the methods of processing them, as well as their interactions, trying to make her understand.
Bi Qiaoan knew his intention, so she studied diligently from the side, and even though she didn't understand the meaning, she could still remember it.
Then, following his example, I mixed the ingredients and made the finished product.
Finally, these finished pills were given to the small animals used in the comparative experiments.
Bi Qiaoan was a little uneasy. She wasn't afraid that the pills wouldn't work, but she was afraid that the little animals would die on the spot after eating them.
Fortunately, her worries were unnecessary. The chicks and rabbits not only didn't die after eating it, but they became even more lively. However, compared to Shen Yanming's pills, her medicine was much less effective.
But that's okay, as long as she can learn those basic prescriptions, it's fine. I don't expect her to be outstanding.
The day passed just like that. The next morning, Shen Yanming woke Bi Qiaoan up. The two of them didn't eat breakfast, but after a quick wash, they went to Haishi Hospital for a prenatal checkup.
This time, at Zhang Heping's request, Shen Yanming brought him a bag of spicy dried meat and a bag of peanut brittle, but he kept them hidden in a black bag.
Don't say that Comrade Shen is overflowing with compassion and trying to be a saint. Just think about the supplies that the Zhang, Ji, and Li families stored with him, and you'll know that it's only right to satisfy some of their trivial requests.
After all, those supplies are unlikely to ever see the light of day.
It's not that Comrade Shen wants to seize our brothers' supplies, but given the current global situation, the disaster is getting more and more serious, and who knows, one day we might not even be able to protect our homes.
When that day comes, it will be inconvenient for him to take things out of the space anymore.
well!
Zhang Heping had no idea about any of this. When he received the dried meat and peanut brittle, he was so excited that he almost shouted.
Without Comrade Shen's care for him for the past month, he has been eating only bland soup in the hospital cafeteria. Look how thin he has become.
Shen Yanming didn't care about any of that. After handing the documents to Zhang Heping, he took Bi Qiaoan to get her blood drawn, have an ultrasound, monitor the fetal heartbeat, and have her pelvis measured. By the time they finished and got the results, it was already late.
Seeing that everything was normal in the report, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. After saying goodbye, they drove home.
On the way, Shen Yanming thought of his own fields. He hadn't checked on them for more than a month and wondered how the wheat seedlings were growing, and whether the vegetable seeds he had planted later had sprouted.
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong are so busy with work, I wonder if they have time to take care of them.
After dropping Bi Qiaoan off at home, he took his farm tools to Qingning Mountain. To his surprise, his own fields were exceptionally well tended, with no trace of weeds.
Having no room to maneuver, Shen Yanming could only awkwardly return home.
What he didn't know was that after learning of his "disappearance," Chen Shunwei took the initiative to ask Ji Kangyong for the key to the field. When he wasn't on duty, he and Wang went to the field to weed and water the plants, working very hard.
But this guy didn't mention it at all when we met.
For the next few days, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan stayed in the space. Shen Yanming continued his teaching duties, and Bi Qiaoan also studied with great enthusiasm.
With the entire space as her backing, Bi Qiaoan had enough medicinal herbs to practice with. It wasn't until Shen Yanming felt that she had learned enough that the two of them left the space. By then, it was already May 4th.
Shen Yanming packed up the supplies needed for childbirth into a suitcase, planning to take them with him when he went to the guard unit. After all, no one could predict when his wife would give birth.
Then they packed some clean clothes, let the goose out, and the two of them and the goose drove back to the guard station.
Because Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, along with the car, were registered, they passed the inspection smoothly and drove to the bottom of the dormitory building.
This big white goose, however, was notified once again that it needed to complete the necessary procedures.
Helpless, Shen Yanming patted the goose's head and said, "Look at you, how troublesome you are!"
The goose seemed to disapprove of this statement, dodging his touch and spreading its wings to squawk.
Bi Qiaoan shook her head and chuckled, "You two stop fooling around and hurry upstairs to get things ready and get our son's certificate, otherwise all the staff will be off work soon."
Shen Yanming then picked up his suitcase and helped his wife back to the dormitory.
After settling in, without even cleaning up, I took the goose to the service hall and got it the legendary pet goose certificate.
