"Sure, no problem. Wait a moment, I'll be right there!" Lu Nanfang smiled, picked up the potatoes, and left.
Yuan Ruoxi looked at the empty bedroom and felt like crying. Although she had plenty of food in her spatial storage, she really didn't have many good things left.
These few potatoes were dug up on Songzhu Mountain without Lu Nanfang's knowledge.
It's just that Lu Nanfang is carefree and didn't ask. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know how to explain it, since she still had food in her space even though it was all eaten.
As Lu Nanfang walked out of the room, she looked at the things in her hands and couldn't help but laugh.
Despite repeated warnings that this stuff shouldn't be eaten in large quantities, Yuan Ruoxi and Tong Xianbao not only dug up the entire patch of land where they had found the sweet potatoes, but also went to other hilltops to search for them.
Judging from Yuan Ruoxi's pained and distressed appearance, she probably sneaks food quite often.
She shook her head and prepared to go to the communal kitchen in the building to wash and cook the food.
As Lu Nanfang passed by Li Sikai's room, she couldn't help but glance inside, only to find that there was no one there at all.
She was still wondering where Tong Xianbao had gone. If he couldn't find her, he should have come back by now.
What she didn't know was that after Tong Xianbao explained the situation, Li Sikai and the others didn't doubt or hesitate. They immediately arranged for people to go to surrounding cities to source brown sugar before the snow fell too heavily.
He went to the material reserve area in Suzhou on his own. Once he confirmed that there was no leftover brown sugar in other cities, he would have to submit the necessary paperwork and apply to the material reserve office.
This is very troublesome, it's practically an exception. They had heard about Yuan Ruoxi's situation before, and it really can't be taken lightly.
As for Tong Xianbao, Li Sikai arranged for him to go to the hospital to buy painkillers.
If other methods don't work, or if Yuan Ruoxi can't stand it, then we'll have to give her pills to ease the pain.
A group of people worked tirelessly all night without sleeping.
It wasn't until dawn that Sun Sainan and Geng Zhixing each returned with a bag of brown sugar.
"Hey boss, here, keep a pack for yourself. Otherwise, that guy will think it's easy money and drink it without restraint. He might cause us trouble again when his period comes next time."
Li Sikai did not refuse, took the brown sugar and hid it in his cabinet. Then he said to Sun Sainan, "Quickly take that bag of sugar to Yuan Ruoxi so she can come back and rest as soon as possible."
Sun Sainan nodded: "It's the Lunar New Year, and you've been busy all night. Nobody else is like that."
Geng Zhixing smiled and comforted him, "Well, it's just New Year's Day, it's not really Chinese New Year yet. Go on, it's almost dawn, come back quickly so we can get a few more hours of sleep."
Sun Sainan shook her head and left.
He went there looking relaxed, but returned looking grim.
"What's going on? What kind of trouble has happened this time?" Geng Zhixing had a bad feeling.
"Tong Xianbao still hasn't come back, and I can't get through to him on the phone."
"Damn it, he can mess up even something as simple as getting medicine from the clinic. He's already been busy for most of the night, and now he still has to deal with that family of three!"
Despite swearing, Geng Zhixing was surprisingly fast.
After putting on his cotton coat, he said to Li Sikai, "Boss, I'm going out to check. It's minus thirty or forty degrees outside. I hope nothing bad happens and someone freezes to death."
Li Sikai nodded: "Send a signal if you need rescue."
Geng Zhixing and Sun Sainan left, searching in the direction of the clinic. They walked and called out, their voices carrying far in the quiet night.
They ran over to find a faint light coming from a corner, only to discover that Tong Xianbao was frozen stiff.
Without a second thought, they rushed him to the clinic for emergency treatment. The doctors and nurses there immediately understood what had happened and took immediate action.
"The patient sprained his left ankle and had a noticeable bump on the back of his head. It's most likely that he slipped and fell unconscious due to the slippery roads caused by the snow. Luckily, you brought him in time; if it had been half an hour later, he might not have survived."
Sun Sainan, who was straightforward and honest, felt a chill run down her spine after hearing this.
Although they didn't like that guy, if they hesitated or took the wrong path and failed to find Tong Xianbao in time, resulting in his death, it would probably leave a shadow in their hearts.
Thankfully, the person was rescued.
The two didn't dare to hide anything and called Li Sikai to report the situation.
After hearing this, Li Sikai paused for a moment, then told the two brothers to take good care of themselves and to come back after Tong Xianbao was discharged from the hospital.
It's not that he's a saint and insists on taking care of an unlikable person, but rather that he has no choice but to.
Not to mention that guards have a responsibility to help the people, Yuan Ruoxi was taken care of by Tong Xianbao, which saved them a lot of trouble.
Although this could become a hidden danger in the future, things are fine now.
We can't just condemn someone without any evidence or warning.
Of course, this is also because Li Sikai and his team are quite confident in their own strength, which is why they allow the two little grasshoppers to jump around again and again.
Li Sikai snapped out of his thoughts, went out, and knocked on Yuan Ruoxi's door.
After explaining the situation, I told the two girls to go to sleep first, and I would take them to the hospital to get checked out when it was light.
Yuan Ruoxi and Lu Nanfang nodded gratefully, but they didn't want to go out at all.
One reason is that they've lost faith in Tong Xianbao and don't want to do that kind of menial work, like cleaning up after someone.
Another problem is the cramping pain in my stomach; I really can't get out of bed.
But neither of them dared to say it outright, not wanting to reveal too much of their emotions in front of each other. They could only force a smile, thinking they would find an excuse when it got light.
As for Tong Xianbao, they were quite at ease knowing that Sun Sainan and the others were taking care of him.
Seeing that the two were giving each other forced smiles, Li Sikai raised an eyebrow, said nothing, and went back to sleep.
Sigh, this new year has really started off badly. I wonder if it will affect my luck for the rest of the year.
----------
The next day, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan slept until almost noon before getting up.
The two opened their blurry eyes and were startled when they saw the sky.
I quickly turned to look at the two little ones and saw that An'an and Nuannuan were already awake.
Neither cried nor fussed; one lay down playing with her fingers and toys, while the other lay on her stomach, arching her little bottom and wiggling.
Bi Qiaoan couldn't help but feel relieved that her husband, Lao Shen, had improved the crib. He raised the guardrails and lowered the crib itself.
Furthermore, a thick carpet was laid under the crib.
This provides double protection. The babies either won't be able to climb out, or if they do, they won't get hurt from the fall.
Shen Yanming didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He walked barefoot on the cold ground, carried An'an and Nuannuan to their big bed, and then slipped on his slippers and went back to the bathroom to shower.
The two little ones were placed on the big bed and immediately became active. Each of them arched their little bottoms and crawled towards Bi Qiaoan with a grin.
Then he clung to her, his little head nuzzling against something, clearly hungry.
