Chapter 491 The Storm Is Brewing



Actually, he was quite embarrassed to say that, as if he were trying to get rid of someone.

However, it takes at least half an hour for Joan to breastfeed, and we can't just leave them waiting.

Even if they could close the curtains and continue chatting in the ward, they'd probably feel awkward and less comfortable than outside.

Fearing that the others might have some reservations, Shen Yanming offered a brief explanation. "Actually, when I came back, the sky was already overcast. It just wasn't very noticeable then; the sun would occasionally peek through the clouds, and since it was windless and hot outside, I assumed it was just cloudy."

While we were talking, the light in the ward suddenly dimmed a lot. I thought the sun was hiding behind the clouds, so I didn't pay much attention. But even after you said we should leave, the light in the ward didn't come back up, and I started to wonder if the weather was about to change.

Upon closer inspection, it really was!

Ji Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao both knew that Shen Yanming was not one to make baseless accusations, so when he sent them home, they waited for him to explain his reasons.

Now that they knew, they were both shocked. They exchanged a glance and went to the balcony to look outside.

The sky was covered by dark clouds, with only occasional glimpses of golden light peeking through the edges, indicating the sun's position.

The shadows of the trees swayed downstairs, and if you looked closely, you could see pebbles and withered leaves being swept into the air by the strong wind.

Pedestrians were all walking with their heads down and faces covered, their steps heavy as they walked against the wind.

"It really is true, the world has changed!" Zhang Heping exclaimed.

Ji Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao also looked solemn.

Logically speaking, it's normal for it to rain in June. But what's abnormal is that Haishi, a city that usually receives plenty of rain, hasn't had any rain for a month and a half.

This sudden change in weather brought sand and stones flying everywhere, creating a sense of impending storm and making people uneasy.

Without hesitation, the two decided to hurry home before the rain started to pour.

However, before leaving, he still instructed, "Check the weather first. If it continues to be bad, let Qiao An stay here for a few more days. Anyway, He Ping is here and can help take care of her."

If he's too busy, just give us a call. Don't worry about the weather, buddy, I promise I'll be there rain or shine.

Shen Yanming nodded his thanks and repeatedly reminded him, "Be careful on the road, drive slowly, don't rush."

Chi Kangyong and Li Zhaozhao said they understood, but whether they would actually do as instructed was another matter.

Shen Yanming thought the two would go home after leaving, but to his surprise, Ji Kangyong first went to the bureau to arrange the duty roster before preparing to go home.

In reality, those of them who need to be on duty still have to go out even if it's hailing. Shen Yanming's reminder was simply to have people prepare raincoats in advance.

Li Zhaozhao went home and met with his parents. After telling them that Lao Shen had given birth to twins, he helped move the flowers and plants in the yard into the villa.

As for the parts that couldn't be moved, he quickly set up a rain shelter and even cleared the drainage ditches.

After everything was settled, I prepared to return to the ranks of laborers.

Li's parents stopped him and told him to bring some eggs from home to Shen Yanming.

Li Zhaozhao shook his head, "They won't accept it. I sent a lot of things today, but Qiao An said they already have everything they prepared and told me not to spend any more money."

Li's mother asked, "Is it because they're too embarrassed to accept it?"

"No, Old Shen is a shrewd man. If he didn't have it, he would definitely ask for it."

My brothers and I prepared a batch of supplies before the apocalypse. Even if some of them expired and couldn't be used, there were still some that could be stored for a long time. So, those two really didn't lack anything.

Moreover, the benefits and treatment of the guards are much better than those of our contract workers. If they need anything, they can exchange it there,” Li Zhaozhao said.

Mr. and Mrs. Li nodded after hearing this, completely ignoring their son's words about preparing supplies before the apocalypse.

Because of this, it was something that was already tacitly understood.

With so many things suddenly appearing in Li Zhaozhao's room, and he using them without hiding them from anyone, how could the two of them not know?

It's just something that benefits our own family; there's no need to delve into the details. People don't need to be so clever; just live happily.

Li Zhaozhao said goodbye to his parents and left. After their son left, the elderly couple walked around their yard twice, checking for any sturdy parts and making repairs as needed.

I also picked the small cucumbers and cherry tomatoes that hadn't fully grown. Although they were still small, it was better than them being ruined by a heavy rain or hail.

The elderly couple didn't actually know why they had this thought. It might be because their son looked so serious when he came back, or it might be because of the unusual weather in recent years, which triggered a stress response.

But no matter what, once I've stored them away and put them in the refrigerator, I feel much more at ease.

Shen Yanming was unaware that the two brothers had been extremely busy since they left, and he himself was not having an easy time in the hospital.

Because the diapers that my two babies took off are still lying in the bathroom unwashed.

Although a newborn's poop doesn't smell bad, it still looks disgusting. Old Shen, while not a germaphobe, doesn't particularly enjoy this kind of work.

Yeah, who in their right mind would enjoy washing diapers?

But they couldn't just leave them unwashed. They had plenty of diapers, but they couldn't just waste them. The couple couldn't bring themselves to throw them away after a single use.

So, after closing the door, Comrade Shen took out a pair of rubber gloves from his spatial storage, put them on, and began washing the diapers.

Because it had been sitting for a while, the poop had hardened a bit. He had no choice but to brush it off and then scrub it repeatedly with laundry detergent.

But these diapers aren't just about washing away the poop. Shen Yanming frowned as he looked at the dark green blobs.

He took out the underwear soap from his spatial storage, applied it, and continued rubbing until the stains were removed and the diaper returned to its pure white state.

It took him half an hour to put on two diapers, but the moment Old Shen stepped out of the bathroom, he breathed a real sigh of relief.

It also taught him that he should always wash diapers while they are still warm, as this would make things much easier.

Bi Qiaoan and Zhang Heping couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the look of relief on Shen Yanming's face as he walked out of the bathroom.

For the sake of her husband, Bi Qiaoan knew to restrain herself.

But Zhang Heping was different. He laughed smugly and arrogantly, asking Shen Yanming, "Isn't this taste quite sour and refreshing?"

Shen Yan rolled his eyes, completely unconcerned. He only said one sentence, which left Zhang Heping speechless.

"Go ahead and laugh, it's not like you won't experience it."

These words left Zhang Heping speechless, because to refute them would be to curse himself with childlessness, which would be utterly tragic.

He chuckled, "How about I wash both bags for you? Consider it my early internship?"

Shen Yanming laughed and cursed, "Get out of here! I'm happy to serve my son and daughter!"
