The old lady nodded in agreement. Apart from the small world in that space, this house was the most familiar to the two children.
"Then we will live here forever. It's rare that the child likes it. If your grandpa misses us, we can bring him over to see us."
"Great idea, Grandma."
She knew about the small yard at her grandfather's Dawn Base. It would be much more convenient for her to go there and come back in the future, as aircraft could land in the backyard.
Su Yan didn't think too much about it. She was in a bad state at the moment.
Not long after, the intercom rang.
She knew it was Lou Xue.
"Did you see me flying back again?"
"Well, are you busy? I want to chat with you. I'm so bored."
"Come over for lunch at noon, I'll wait for you."
After getting the confirmation, Lou Xue happily ended the call.
Su Yan remembered that Luo Wanning went back to change the bandages for Uncle Zhang's leg injury a few days ago. She said she would go and see him when she was free. Why not go downstairs and take a look before lunch time comes?
She packed half a pound of dried vegetables, a can of infant formula powder, and two handfuls of sugar, all of which were free-buying stock from the supermarket. They were just right for Xianxian and Xiaoxuan, but that was all she needed. If she gave them more, the other party wouldn't accept it.
It has been a long time since I last walked past Building C. From the 32nd floor all the way down, ever since Lanjiangtai was set up as a temporary base branch, the entire building has been full of people.
The more people there are, the more garbage there is. It is extremely hot and there is a severe water shortage. The whole building is filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells.
In addition to the unpleasant smell, there were more people who met her head-on or opened the door to look after hearing the sound of people coming down the stairs. Su Yan didn't know them, but there lived on the 32nd floor a female Rakshasa who was specially cared for by the base and was elusive.
Now seeing a young and beautiful person with a rosy complexion and spotless cleanliness, everyone knew that she was from the 32nd floor.
Facing all kinds of curious, fawning or jealous gazes, I finally made it to the 11th floor and knocked on the door.
It was Xiaoxuan who came out and opened the door.
The child was covered in dust and dirt, and Su Yan almost couldn't recognize him.
"Is that Sister Yan? Come in quickly."
"Yeah, are you alone at home?"
"Grandpa, Xianxian and I went to the infirmary to help with Aunt Luo."
Su Yan said "oh" and followed Xiaoxuan into the house.
"Xiaoxuan, are there any guests?" Uncle Zhang shouted in the room.
Su Yan and Xiao Xuan walked into the room one after another.
"Grandpa, it's Sister Yan."
"Uncle Zhang, it's me. I heard that you were injured when Sister Luo came to change the dressing last time. I didn't have time to come and see you until now."
"It's just a minor injury. I'm just old and my recovery is slow. Thanks to the medicine you were willing to give me, I'm almost healed."
"Don't move, just sit down."
Uncle Zhang lifted his plastered leg and tried to get out of bed, but was stopped by Su Yan.
"Why are you bringing anything with you when you're here? Supplies are so expensive everywhere these days. You can take them back later."
"It's not that precious. It's just a handful of dried vegetables and some human milk powder. You have to keep up with your nutrition even if you're injured. Otherwise, when will you get better? Xiaoxuan is still counting on you."
"Thank you, Ayan. I'll shamelessly accept it then."
Alas! Uncle Zhang sighed. Xiaoxuan was pointing at him.
Even blood relatives are annoyed with a person who is bedridden and cannot move. What's more, he and Luo Wanning are just neighbors who have joined forces to help their father survive. Now he is in this situation. Although Luo Wanning doesn't despise him, this is not a solution.
He is old, and this time he just broke his leg and luckily survived, what if it happens next time? Xiaoxuan is still so young.
Su Yan took a few candies from the bag and put them in Xiaoxuan's hand.
"Thank you, Sister Yan."
"Eat it, there's more here."
Xiaoxuan took the candy and went outside obediently.
Uncle Zhang asked his grandson to pour water for Su Yan.
Su Yan quickly spoke out to stop them. She was not short of water, but she also knew that drinking water was more expensive than oil nowadays.
Zhang Bo moved his lips several times before he asked, "I heard from Xiao Luo that you have been out for a while. Have you been to other bases?"
"I have been there, to several bases. Uncle Zhang, do you want to inquire about them?"
Uncle Zhang nodded, feeling a little embarrassed. It was not easy to find someone nowadays, but for the sake of his grandson, he thought about it and wanted to ask Su Yan for help even if it meant sacrificing his reputation.
"Yes, I would like to trouble you to help me find out about Xiaoxuan's father. Before the natural disaster, he was on a business trip to Haicheng to follow up on a case. My son Zhang Xian is a police officer in the Jiangcheng Yumiao District. My daughter-in-law is called Chu Xiaoling, who was originally a junior clerk in the Jiangcheng Housing Authority. She went there to travel with him during her vacation, but we lost contact after the natural disaster."
"So they are most likely trapped in Haicheng. The base in the eastern region is located in Haicheng. I actually know someone in the base. I went to the Haicheng base some time ago. I will find a chance to ask them. If they choose to enter the base, it should not be difficult to find them."
"Thank you, thank you Ayan."
"You're welcome. I don't know if I can help you. Don't worry, I will ask for you as soon as possible."
"When you promised to help, I felt I had found it, really."
Uncle Zhang was so excited, this was the hope of his family. Somehow, Su Yan agreed to help, and he was suddenly full of hope.
Su Yan smiled and didn't argue with Uncle Zhang about this issue. It's always good to have hope.
After chatting with Uncle Zhang for about half an hour, she went upstairs.
Su Yan gritted her teeth and held her breath as she climbed back to her home on the 32nd floor. In just a short while, she was so hot that her hair and clothes were soaked.
Lou Xue had flown over from the top floor of her house. She was the kind of person who would rather waste fuel than climb the stairs.
"Miss, are you willing to climb the stairs one day? Who has such great influence?"
"I'm going to go see Uncle Zhang, one of the few neighbors I know and interact with. Come in quickly, I'm dying of heat."
Su Yan noticed Lou Xue's expression. She no longer felt the same hesitation as when she asked her to help her ask Yang Jinghui out to confess his love. Maybe she had come to terms with it.
