Shen Yanming guessed correctly; Zhu Shiliang and the others had been assigned a task and were currently wearing raincoats to evacuate the trapped people.
As for those that were buried, that should be handled by professionals; it's not their place to get involved, as they're just amateurs.
Of course, the newly recruited guards were quite satisfied with these regulations. After all, they had only been training for less than a month. If they were to actually operate the equipment and an accident occurred that resulted in someone's death, it would leave a lifelong psychological scar.
Shen Yanming expressed his happiness at not having to go on missions.
Because he was assigned to the guard team, he had to follow orders. But in such terrible weather, he couldn't bear to leave his wife and baby unattended.
Now is perfect, no need to be in a dilemma.
As he listened to Zhang Heping recount the injuries of the wounded, a bitter feeling welled up in his heart.
Even with the greatest wisdom, how useful can humans be in the face of these continuous disasters?
The saying goes, "One force can overcome ten techniques." Perhaps if a natural disaster strikes, even the most advanced technology will be reduced to dust in an instant.
I wonder, facing this ravaged world today, do people regret their past reckless destruction of the environment? Do they yearn to go back to the past? Do they hope the world can be restarted?
But thinking too much is just wishful thinking. Now we can only take it one step at a time and hold on until the planet completes its self-repair.
Of course, it's hard to say whether we'll see it in our lifetime.
Sigh, let's not talk about that anymore. These are not things for ordinary people like us to spout.
Shen Yanming chatted with Zhang Heping for a while, then heard his stomach growling. He asked, "Didn't you eat any bread when you got home last night?"
Zhang Heping shook his head, then nodded, "I ate one, but it was so delicious that I couldn't bear to eat it all, so I put the rest away."
"Don't worry, I'll make it for you when I have time, or I can teach you how," Shen Yanming said helplessly.
Seeing that there was still a supply to come, Zhang Heping grinned like a fool, "Okay, okay, you make it for me, I don't have time to learn."
Shen Yanming was almost laughing in anger, but he didn't say anything more. He just silently took out two pieces of bread and stuffed them into his hand: "These things all have an expiration date. If you leave them for too long, they'll either grow mold or dry out into crumbs, so you should deal with them as soon as you get back."
Zhang Heping took it, put it in his mouth, and muttered, "Okay, don't worry."
After he finished eating, he saw that Qiao An had woken up.
After glancing around and confirming that both babies were beside her, she sat up and greeted Zhang Heping: "You're here so early! Did you sleep well last night?"
What was supposed to be a casual greeting triggered Zhang Heping's talkative nature to resurface, and he recounted the thrilling events of the previous night.
Bi Qiaoan listened with great interest, while Shen Yanming didn't care about Zhang Heping's spittle flying everywhere.
After the two finished talking, it was time for dinner. Shen Yanming, feeling that being hospitalized was inconvenient, asked, "When will Qiao An be able to be discharged?"
"If there are no problems with your health, you can be discharged tomorrow. Please bear with it a little longer, you can't stay for another day or two."
Shen Yanming nodded, indicating that he understood. Bi Qiaoan was also satisfied with this answer.
Once she gets home, she can run wild in her virtual space. And after she tucks in the extra fat around her stomach, oh my, she'll be a fairy again!
And she can eat whatever she wants without restraint. Papaya, grapes, kiwis—you name it, she has it. Seaweed, eggs, tofu skin—she eats them all in rotation. She doesn't want to be confined to millet porridge and crucian carp soup.
Even for a pig's trotter soup to help with lactation, you have to stew peanuts and soybeans in rotation, hehe!
Bi Qiaoan was just dreaming about her wonderful future when she heard her two little darlings start wailing at the top of their lungs.
She was immediately disheartened. Well, all of that was just wishful thinking.
For a long time to come, I'll probably have to live with my two babies' poop and pee and take on the role of a dairy cow.
After changing the diapers for his two babies, Shen Yanming pulled the curtain closed and let his wife breastfeed them.
Zhang Heping sat on the sofa, unsure whether to leave or stay, feeling somewhat restless.
Seeing him like this, Comrade Shen went out of the ward with him.
As they walked down the corridor, their stomachs rumbled simultaneously. They exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly.
The biggest problem right now is getting food.
Shen Yanming looked out a window and then gave up on the idea of going home to cook it.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Zhang Heping poured cold water on his thoughts: "They all said that many parts of the city are flooded, and the water is at least above knee-deep. Driving is definitely not an option."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Then let's do something in the ward. It's only for two days anyway, so we can make do."
Zhang Heping chuckled, "I thought you'd go ask the cafeteria staff for help!"
Shen Yanming remained silent. It wasn't that he hadn't considered doing so, but the other party wasn't helping him for nothing.
He felt that the business was a bit of a loss, having sent in plenty of grain only to receive food that didn't quite meet his expectations.
Seeing his silence, Zhang Heping also shut up.
Shen Yanming glanced at him and said, "Come downstairs with me to get the ingredients. Stay for dinner later."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heping shook his head vigorously, "Yesterday I was helping out here, so I shamelessly invited you to stay for a meal. Today, knowing you're not available, how dare you still try to freeload!"
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it, it’s just that you’ll have to help wash the pots and dishes, and the meals will be very simple,” Shen Yanming said.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heping first curled his lip in disgust and said, "As expected, nothing good comes of it!" Then he burst into laughter, "Old Shen, you're the one with the best ideas. This way, I have a reason to take advantage of you."
He chuckled as he pressed the elevator button, and then he and Shen Yanming went down to the first floor.
Instead of rushing into the rain, they borrowed an umbrella from the nurse on duty at the entrance. The two of them, half-hidden under the small mushroom-shaped umbrella, quickly walked to the parking lot.
The trunk was slightly opened, and based on his feel and knowledge of his own supplies, Comrade Shen packed some rainproof items into a black plastic bag before returning the way he came with his "protector".
When returning the umbrella to the nurse, Shen Yanming also gave her a few fruit candies without expiration dates as a thank you. The nurse was delighted and said that they were welcome to borrow rain gear anytime they needed it.
Shen Yanming agreed, without mentioning that he already had two transparent raincoats in his bag.
Zhang Heping assumed his friend hadn't prepared any of these things, so he showered him with compliments, worried that his friend wouldn't recognize him next time he came.
Shen Yanming was speechless for a while, and kept giving him meaningful glances, but the guy ignored him.
He couldn't take it anymore and tugged at Zhang Heping's clothes twice before the chatterbox stopped talking and reluctantly said goodbye to the nurse.
In the elevator, when it was just the two of them, Old Shen asked, "Are you sure Xiaoqian is okay with this?"
Zhang Heping was taken aback, then snapped, "Old Shen, I did that because I was worried you'd get wet in the rain if you went out without an umbrella! Don't be so kind!"
