After Li Shaozhong and Yan Jingwen left, Ye Shuning opened the bags they brought and found that one of the cloth bags was filled with white flour, about ten pounds.
In that era, white flour was a rare fine grain, and many families could only eat white flour once or twice when they were sick or during the Chinese New Year.
In addition to white flour, there are also brown sugar, matches, candles, soap, etc., which are all things that can be used in daily life.
Ye Shuning was in a complicated mood at the moment, and she didn't know if Yan Jingwen had prepared these things. She really didn't want to have anything to do with Yan Jingwen anymore.
But the person had already left, and she had no way to return these things, so she could only accept them for the time being.
Ye Shuning had already planted all the soil in the institute's small garden, and the vegetables she had planted in the two flower beds had actually sprouted.
Even though she wasn't particularly knowledgeable about agriculture, she knew that it would take much longer for seeds like these to germinate. This meant that the plants in the research institute should grow faster than outside.
This discovery gave Ye Shuning a surprise. Perhaps the growth cycle of vegetables and grains in the spatial world of the research institute would be greatly shortened.
Ye Shuning looked at the institute's green belt again. If digging up these small trees was too much trouble, she would wait and see.
Now, with two flower beds and a small garden, the land area is more than half an acre, which can also grow a lot of things. If the growth cycle of crops can be shortened, it can provide her with a lot of food.
In a couple of days, she'll be able to plant vegetables in the yard. With vegetables in the yard, she can grow all kinds of food in the institute. Just thinking about it fills her with energy. As long as she works hard, she won't have to worry about a bad life.
Looking at the hardened cement or brick floor in front of the institute's office building, Ye Shuning thought that she could nail some wooden troughs or build some pools, fill them with soil and still be able to grow things, so that the land area would be larger.
There is plenty of soil outside, so don't rush and take your time.
Ye Shuning decided to tear down some of the unused flower walls or floor tiles to build the pond, and then go to the mountain to get the soil when the time comes. This way, no one would find out.
So in the days that followed, whenever Ye Shuning had nothing to do at the research institute, she would go back to dismantle bricks and build a pool. After building one, she would go to the mountains to get soil.
Li Shaozhong and Yan Jingwen had just returned to the office when they received a phone call. Li Shaozhong's face immediately changed when he heard what was said on the phone.
After Li Shaozhong put down the phone, Yan Jingwen immediately asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Li Shaozhong said with a pale face: "My second brother disappeared in the desert."
Yan Jingwen felt nervous when he heard this. It was said that Li Shaozhong's second brother had gone on a secret mission some time ago, but now there was news that he was missing. It was really worrying.
Yan Jingwen said, "How could he disappear in the desert? That's very dangerous."
You know, it is very easy to get lost in the vast desert and then die in the desert due to lack of water and food, and in the end even the body cannot be found.
Li Shaozhong knew how dangerous it was to go missing in the desert. He said with a heavy expression, "We've already sent people to search for him. Jingwen, I have to go find him. I can't just sit there and wait. I'll ask for leave soon. I'll leave the work here to you."
Yan Jingwen nodded and said, "Don't worry, leave the work to me."
Li Shaozhong told the situation to the top leader of the oil field, took leave and headed straight to the Northwest.

The next day, Xue Lili found out that Li Shaozhong and Yan Jingwen went to Ye Shuning's place together. She felt that she had been deceived by Ye Shuning. It was obvious that Ye Shuning was playing hard to get and did not really want to leave Yan Jingwen.
Xue Lili gritted her teeth and thought, since Ye Shuning refused to accept her toast, then don't blame her for being cruel. She had originally planned to use the method she had prepared, but now it seemed that she had to proceed according to plan. Only when the threat of Ye Shuning was completely eliminated could she feel at ease.
Yan Jingwen is hers and no one can take him away from her.
After Ye Shuning finished turning the soil in the yard, she returned the tools to the Pan family. The next day, she went to town again. She planned to deliver some things to the Pan family.
When Ye Shuning arrived in town and was passing through an alley, a woman passing by called out to her, "Ye Shuning."
Ye Shuning didn't expect that someone in this foreign county town actually knew her. She turned her head curiously to look at the person who called her.
At this moment, two men suddenly ran out from the alley and covered Ye Shuning's mouth and nose with a towel before she could react.
Ye Shuning didn't expect that someone would kidnap someone in broad daylight. She was not prepared at all, and by the time she reacted, it was too late. She inhaled some drugs and could only hold her breath as much as possible, but she still fainted.
She didn't know who in this foreign land had a grudge against her and wanted to kidnap her.
The Pan family knew that Ye Shuning had gone to town, but when Yang Xiuying went to Ye Shuning's house in the evening and saw that she had not returned yet, she felt something was wrong.
The town was not particularly far from their village. If Ye Shuning had just gone out to buy some things, she should have returned long ago. However, it was almost dark and she had not returned home yet.
After returning home, Yang Xiuying saw her old man and said, "Master, Xiao Ning went to town to buy something this morning, and it's almost dark now and she still hasn't come back. Is there anything wrong?"
When Pan Dongshan heard that Ye Shuning hadn't arrived yet, he frowned and said, "Why hasn't she come back yet? Didn't she just go to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things? Let's quickly ask Yongjian and Yongguo to go to town and check."
After saying that, Pan Dongshan asked his eldest son to ride the team's bicycle and take him to the town to take a look.
After searching for a while, of course he couldn't find her. At this time, Pan Dongshan realized that something might have happened to Ye Shuning.
As soon as he arrived at the post office, he called Li Shaozhong's office, fearing that Ye Shuning had gone to the oil field.
The call was answered by Yan Jingwen. When he heard that Ye Shuning went to the town to buy something and disappeared, and couldn't find her after searching for her everywhere, he immediately thought of the human traffickers.
This person disappeared just a few days after leaving him. Only then did Yan Jingwen realize what it felt like to be extremely anxious. He put down the phone and rode his bicycle straight to the police station in the town regardless of the darkness.
When he arrived at the police station, Pan Dongshan had already reported the case and the police station had sent officers to look for him.
When Yan Jingwen saw Pan Dongshan, he asked anxiously, "Uncle Pan, did Ye Shuning say she was going somewhere else?"
Pan Dongshan shook his head and said, "She came to my house this morning and said she was going to the town supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things and would be back in the morning, but the whole day has passed and she's nowhere to be found. We asked the supply and marketing cooperative, but Xiao Ning has never been there."
Yan Jingwen's heart sank to the bottom when he heard this. If Ye Shuning had not gone somewhere else, then something must have happened to Ye Shuning.
We have searched the town twice but there is no trace of Ye Shuning. It is really worrying.
Although Yan Jingwen didn't like Ye Shuning, he didn't want anything to happen to her.
