Shen Yanming delivered lunch to Luo Yuesheng, and upon returning to his office, he opened the lunchbox and began to eat.
When his colleagues in the office saw this, they all teased Shen Yanming: "You've already gone back, why didn't you eat before coming over?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Isn't it more atmospheric to eat with everyone?"
Miao Yifeng also laughed: "Yes, look how happy my two darlings are."
“Yes, he’s grown so much in just a few days. He even calls me uncle now,” Meng Wu said.
Shen Yanming was also quite pleased, and said with a smile, "That's how kids are, they grow up quickly."
After the group finished eating, Shen Yanming took his wife, son, and daughter to the lounge. The couple looked around and found an electric hot pot in the cabinet, added water, and cooked a pot of seaweed soup.
Bi Qiaoan sprinkled some salt into it: "Go and take some to your colleagues."
Shen Yanming nodded. "Save me a bowl."
"No, let's not. There aren't many. We'll make another egg when you get back."
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yanming took the electric cooker to the next room.
"Come on, come on, my wife is giving everyone some treats again. There aren't many, but have a taste!"
"Old Shen, what's that? It smells pretty good."
"Seaweed soup is just boiled in hot water with a little salt. We don't have sesame oil or scallions or anything, so please don't mind," Shen Yanming said upfront.
"It's alright, it's good enough to have a couple of sips of soup, it's better than drinking boiled water." Meng Wu said with a grin, scooping a spoonful for himself.
The others also had some, but with so many people and so little soup, it was all gone in no time.
"Old Shen, you're not out of drinks yourself, are you?"
"Hehe, you guys drink it, I'll have my wife cook some more."
"This little soup pot is too small; it was gone before I could even finish it. But it's great for making soup with seaweed; just a little bit makes it incredibly flavorful."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Yes, I was thinking of going to the beach in the summer to see if I could buy some seaweed and laver."
Hearing this, Liang Yi's eyes lit up. "Great idea, Lao Shen! When are you going on a trip? Just let me know, I want to go out and see the world too."
"Okay, let's arrange it another time." Although he didn't plan to bring a little tagalong, he couldn't stop them if they wanted to. Besides, it was still early, and who knew what might happen later.
Shen Yanming went back to the break room next door, put the electric hot pot down for his wife, and then went back to his office.
Bi Qiaoan reheated the water, and once it boiled, she cracked an egg into it, added a few pieces of seaweed, and sprinkled some salt on top. Then she went to call Shen Yanming.
Comrade Shen was at a crucial moment and couldn't leave. He simply responded and continued working.
Bi Qiaoan didn't mind. She went back to the lounge, played with the two kids for a while, and then coaxed them to sleep.
Because she was waiting for someone, Bi Qiaoan didn't rest and quickly started making pills. She didn't stop even when Shen Yanming came over to drink the soup.
The two of them were busy with their own things in the afternoon. Every hour, Shen Yanming would come over to check on the mother and her two children.
Bi Qiaoan is very efficient, but repeating the same actions for a long time can be tiring, so she lies down on the bed for a while when she gets tired.
At 3:30 p.m., Bi Qiaoan woke up the two babies. After letting them lie on the bed for a while, she put them in their walkers and let them play around in the rest room.
When the two children got tired of playing and called for "Mommy," Bi Qiaoan put down the herbs she was holding, washed her hands, squatted down, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"eat!"
"Hungry!"
Feeling that her babies eat a lot every day, Bi Qiaoan took out a banana from her bag, scraped it off with a spoon, and fed it to her two children.
Shen Yanming left work on time that evening. This time, the two of them could finally go home together.
To outsiders, the couple appeared exceptionally harmonious. An'an and Nuannuan's eyes darted around, overjoyed.
The two strolled slowly home, but along the way, they keenly noticed something different.
This light seems brighter than usual!
The couple quickened their pace and returned home. When they took out their phones, they exclaimed, "Oh my god, we finally have a signal!"
Does this mean that the power has finally come back on?
The couple tidied up their two children and then turned on the TV. There was a signal, and the news was being replayed on repeat.
"Hello viewers at home, after such a long period of effort, power has finally been fully restored in Qinghua Kingdom..."
Neither Shen Yanming nor Bi Qiaoan paid attention to what the other person said; all they knew was that their lives were finally about to return to normal.
The following days proceeded as usual, except that with the internet restored, their communication was much smoother.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan learned a lot from the news, such as that the impact of the snow disaster was far more serious than they had imagined.
Countless people were killed or injured in the northern provinces and cities of Qinghua Kingdom. Many houses collapsed under the weight of the snow, and people froze to death in the icy wilderness.
And those snow-capped mountains experienced avalanches. The snow rushing down from the mountains buried several small towns at the foot of the mountains, resulting in the deaths of everyone present, with no survivors.
Snow was falling heavily that day, and even knowing the extent of the disaster from satellite photos, there was nothing that could be done to send rescuers. The nearby rangers were heavy-hearted, feeling they had failed to protect their homes. But what is human power in the face of natural disasters?
Upon learning of this, General Li could only sigh helplessly, feeling regretful. He knew that death was inevitable, and no matter how hard Qinghua Kingdom tried, it could not defy nature. He could only do his best to minimize the number of deaths.
Of course, there is also good news.
For example, ice blocks falling from the sky have been found to possess a special energy.
No one can say for sure what this energy is used for, but it is precisely because of its existence that the ice cubes, once sealed, will not melt or sublimate.
Because this energy can dissipate invisibly, once it is sealed in a certain space, the energy dissipation will stop when it reaches a certain concentration.
Therefore, the preserved ice cubes have perfectly preserved this energy.
Scientists continue their efforts to find applications for these technologies.
However, medical experts have discovered that these ice cubes have excellent therapeutic effects on burn patients.
It can not only reduce inflammation and kill bacteria, but also lower body temperature without causing frostbite. It can be said to be more effective than burn ointments and other medicines currently on the market.
Overall, it's good news.
For An An and Nuan Nuan, the initial surprise at turning on the TV has turned into complete calmness.
I've already seen photos and videos of my dad on the tablet, so this TV is just bigger and has more people on it, but otherwise there's no difference.
However, the two kids look forward to watching cartoons on their mother's screen every day, but the time is strictly controlled, only two episodes a day, no more.
Bi Qiaoan was also worried that the two children were damaging their eyesight at such a young age, and that being exposed to these things too early would affect their brain development.
Shen Yanming laughed at her, saying that with so many trump cards up their sleeves, how could there be such serious consequences? But Bi Qiaoan wouldn't listen and remained stubborn.
