When Guan Yurong came back, she saw the light on in Mr. Guan's study, and she immediately wanted to bring him some hot tea.
She poured a cup and brought it over, but was rejected by Mr. Guan again, and she still couldn't enter the room.
As soon as Mr. Guan came out of the study, he saw her sitting in the living room.
"Why aren't you sleeping again?"
"Dad, I think you work too hard. If you need tea, a midnight snack, or anything like that, I'm always here. You can call me."
"No, don't wait here anymore. I'll call Xiao Jiao if I need you. It's getting late. Go to bed quickly. I want to go to bed too."
The old man returned to his room, and Guan Yurong went back to her room to sleep disappointedly.

A cold front hit at night, and a thick layer of ice formed on the water outside.
When Xu Nuannuan left the space this morning, she felt colder than usual. She put on an extra sweater and went to the yard, but she couldn't even move her hands.
"It's suddenly so cold. It must be snowing heavily in the north. Maybe it will snow here too," said Old Mrs. Guan.
Xu Nuannuan was a little worried about her parents in Northeast China and hoped that they would not be frozen.
In the morning, when she and the old lady were taking a walk outside, they saw people from the street office beating drums and gongs and holding banners to promote something.
When they got closer, they learned that parts of the northeast and northwest had suffered from severe snowstorms. Many farmers and herdsmen had their houses collapsed under the weight of the snow and were forced to relocate and be resettled in centralized areas. After the relocation, the refugee living areas were in great shortage of daily necessities and urgently needed donations of money and materials from people from all over the country for support.
The director of the street office came out in person to do the promotion. He spoke until his mouth was dry and he held a cup in his hand to drink water at any time.
Mrs. Guan said, "When one side is in trouble, all sides come to its aid. I want to donate some things. I can't just stand by and watch my compatriots in trouble. I'll donate some more money. Come home with me to get it."
"Okay, grandma, I'd like to do my bit to help. Let's go home first."
When they returned home, Mrs. Guan found some old cotton-padded clothes, took two boxes of biscuits, and brought ten yuan, and went to the street office with Xu Nuannuan.
The street office has people who are specifically responsible for collecting donated materials, and there are donation boxes with people responsible for registration next to them.
Old Mrs. Guan handed over the money and things she had brought to Guodong, and Xu Nuannuan directly donated 100 yuan.
"Nuannuan, you donated so much." Old Mrs. Guan couldn't help but admire her.
"Grandma, you said, 'When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid.' I have the ability to do that."
"Good, good boy."
What Xu Nuannuan has the most is food. She also wants to donate some food, but the source of the food cannot be explained clearly, so she can only come here at night and secretly put it in there.
The military district also launched a publicity campaign of "aiding the disaster area and donating love". Qin Wushuang's aunt donated money and materials, and Qin Wushuang naturally knew about this.
In the previous ninety-nine worlds, she followed the script. Whenever there was a disaster, she would donate money and supplies to the people in that place. She watched helplessly as her money and supplies were given away to others. She had long been tired of that kind of life.
Now she is not bound by anything, whoever wants to donate can donate, but she won’t donate anyway.
What does it have to do with her if those people freeze to death or starve to death?
In the afternoon, Xu Nuannuan took the money for buying a house and went to the Zhang family with Grandma Guan. The Zhang couple had already left, so they went to the Housing Management Office with Xiaoqiu to handle the house transfer procedures. Xiaoqiu gave the house deeds and land deeds to Xu Nuannuan, and also gave Xu Nuannuan the keys to the door and the gate.
After the transaction was completed, Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan bought a few new locks, both for the main door of the house.
We must always be on guard against others. No matter how good the relationship between the Zhang couple and Mr. Guan is, even if they are brothers or father and son, we cannot be so honest and trustworthy as to not be on guard at all.
"Grandma, if you and your grandpa want to live here, you can move in anytime."
"No, if you're not here, there's no point for two old guys like us to live here."
"Well, then let's wait until I can come to Jing City and settle down."
Once her parents are rehabilitated, she can marry Jiang Ye. Jiang Ye is being transferred here, so she will naturally have to live here too. It would be great if her parents could come over too.
"Um."

Qin Gang became addicted to Guan Yurong. He would go to see Guan Yurong as soon as he got off work. When they returned to the house, they went crazy again.
Although the room was cold, the battle between the two was extremely fierce.
Guan Yurong did not make any requests to Qin Gang.
"Qin Gang, being with you a few times is worth it for me to be a woman in this life."
"Yurong."
Qin Gang hugged Guan Yurong tightly, not wanting to be separated from her at all.
"Yurong, let's come back tomorrow."
"Okay, as long as you want it, I will satisfy you."
"Yurong, you are so kind."
Ever since Xu Nuannuan told Old Madam Guan that she should spend more time with Old Man Guan, Old Madam Guan has been sleeping in her own room.
At one o'clock in the morning, when everyone was sleeping soundly, Xu Nuannuan quietly left Guan's house and came to the place where the street office collected supplies.
He jumped over the wall, put 30,000 kilograms of food inside, and wrote a card on it: The mysterious man donated to the people in the disaster area, without asking for his name or thanks, just hoping to help the people in the disaster area overcome the difficulties, and will secretly monitor the use of supplies.
At this time, people's mental outlook is generally good, and generally speaking, they will not embezzle disaster relief supplies.
But she had to be wary of some villains who wanted to make money from disasters. No matter what era or what kind of society, there would always be villains.

On the morning of the next day, Xu Nuannuan and Old Lady Guan went out for a walk when they heard someone say that a large amount of food had suddenly appeared in the place where the street office collected supplies yesterday. They also said that a mysterious person had donated it to the disaster area and would secretly monitor how the food was used.
For a moment, everyone was guessing who this mysterious man was.
Old Mrs. Guan also joined the discussion with several women.
"Hey, how do you think he managed to get so much food into the street office without anyone noticing? Could it be a deity from heaven who came down to earth?"
"Don't talk nonsense. We are a materialistic society. Where are the gods? Be careful or someone will arrest you."
"But the grain was definitely piled up in the courtyard of the subdistrict office. I saw it with my own eyes. It wasn't there yesterday evening. There was even a sign above it. It's absolutely true."
"To be honest, only gods can do this, but there are really no gods in this world," said Mrs. Guan.
"Strange, just strange. This guy must have some extraordinary power. He carried bags of grain to the street office compound without anyone noticing.
So, he is a kind-hearted hero who fights for justice and saves people from suffering."
"Hahahaha, it must be Guanyin descending to earth... Oh, no one heard it."
The more they discussed, the more curious they became. They all had their own guesses, but they all praised the man highly.
Xu Nuannuan wanted to laugh when listening to their discussion. No matter how hard they tried to think, they would never have thought that the person they were discussing was standing next to them.
Today is the day when Lao Bie Sanhui will be in charge of the black market. Xu Nuannuan has been waiting for two days and can finally go to him to inquire about the situation.
Just like before, she wanted to go to the black market while Old Lady Guan was taking a nap.
But after Mrs. Guan lay down on the bed, she kept her eyes open.
Xu Nuannuan asked her, "Grandma, why don't you sleep?"
Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "You want grandma to go to sleep quickly."
"Grandma, you need to get more sleep so that you can stay healthy."
"Okay then, grandma's going to sleep, you should take a nap too."
"Okay, Grandma."
Old Mrs. Guan closed her eyes. Xu Nuannuan waited until her breathing became even and she felt that she had fallen asleep before she left the room.
After she walked out of the house, Mrs. Guan opened her eyes.
"What is Nuannuan doing out there every day? And she's acting so mysterious."
However, she was a sensible old lady. Since her granddaughter didn't want her to know, she pretended to know nothing.
Xu Nuannuan disguised herself and went to the black market, where she met Lao Biesan again.
She directly showed Lao Bie San a dollar.
"I'm asking you if a woman came to you these past two days to buy aphrodisiacs?"
"Aphrodisiac? Someone bought a pack from me, but it wasn't a woman."
Xu Nuannuan knew Guan Yurong wouldn't come in person to buy the medicine. "What kind of person bought it? Did they only sell that one pack of medicine these past few days?"
It cannot be ruled out that Guan Yurong asked someone to buy it a few days ago.
"I sold a pack a day ago to a woman, but not the two you mentioned. I also sold a pack at my house three nights ago. A skinny, hunched-over man bought it."
