Chapter 144 Asking for Trouble
After a while, the telegram in Professor Fu's hand was circulated among everyone.
Everyone looked at each other and gasped.
Professor Fu was so angry that his face turned blue and his whole body was shaking.
Qi Huan's face was filled with worry, and he whispered, "Oh my God, I don't know what the situation is... Could it be that all the logs have been destroyed?"
Shi Yuxi burst into tears even more directly, "I'm done... wuwu..." She had failed several graduation projects, and her only hope was the second and third works in several projects selected by her teacher. If the logs are destroyed, even if the research on some of the projects is already halfway through, without the support of data, all will be ruined.
If the logs and data cannot be recovered and repaired, even Professor Fu will be punished. It was even more impossible for Shi Yuxi to graduate, and all that awaited her was to go to the countryside to join the production team.
Deng Gaoyun was straightforward, frowned and said, "Teacher, please spoil her a little more!"
Professor Fu took a deep breath, and then another deep breath, and murmured, "We have to go back quickly. An Qiuli is too scary. We can't keep him here, we can't keep him here!"
Then, Professor Fu asked Deng Gaoyun, "Do we have any backup data?"
Deng Gaoyun nodded, "Before I came out, I submitted a report to the hospital according to regulations. All the procedures are complete."
Professor Fu glanced at Tao Tao and said, "Then she came for you... Only the data you recorded and practiced have not been submitted or entered."
Fortunately, Taotao had the foresight to copy all the data and brought it with her. Now Professor Fu and Deng Gaoyun have done all the analysis based on the data provided by Taotao. They thought they could have a relaxing and comfortable new year, but...
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "It's possible that he's coming for Senior Sister Wang."
Deng Gaoyun understood it quickly. "Junior Sister's guess makes sense... Based on An Qiuli's personality, she should have been wary of Junior Sister copying the data, but Junior Sister Wang next door might not be like Junior Sister."
Qi Huan muttered, "If you have this idea, why can't you do anything else? You have to do something crooked."
Professor Fu was upset. "Okay, okay, Gao Yun, have you got your train ticket? What time is it? Let's get on the train and go back early to see what's going on."
Deng Gaoyun took out the ticket and looked at the time. The train would leave in four hours.
Although there was still time, the teachers and senior students were all in a panic. They had originally planned to visit the nearby black market and bring back some local specialties for their family and friends, but no one was in the mood to do so.
Taotao asked Song Zhi to buy ten pancakes and ten steaming hot rice dumplings from the vendor at the entrance of the train station, and also weighed two pounds of apples. She stuffed them all into Qi Huan's pockets and asked them to share them after getting on the train.
Although I feel depressed, I still have to go on with my life.
Taotao is preparing to go shopping for New Year's goods.
Shi Yuxi was holding a stack of letters from Zuo Tianhua in her hand. She really didn't feel like going shopping, so she made an appointment with Taotao on the time and place, saying that she would come to see Taotao at the appointed time. Then she grabbed the letters and left.
Taotao went to the black market with Song Zhi who was holding Xiao Feibai.
Her superiors allocated her sufficient daily necessities, including firewood, rice, oil, salt and flour...but if she wanted to live a good life, she had to find ways to improve it herself.
Taotao is afraid of cold.
When she was a little fairy, there was no such thing as cold or hot in the fairy world. Later, I traveled to Ruyi Village, which is a northern province located in the south. There are only two or three snowfalls in the whole winter. Later, she moved to Kyoto, where snow was the norm in winter, but she was able to adapt to it.
Now in the Northwest, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow as soon as winter comes? !
And it lasted as long as three months!
Then you must prepare early.
The most important thing is to go to the hospital as soon as possible. Taotao made an appointment and asked the doctor to prescribe a bunch of common backup medicines. What kind of cold medicine, fever medicine, anti-diarrhea medicine, hemostatic medicine, external medicine for facial sores and body ringworm, as well as painkillers, antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs...
Next, we need to buy cotton-padded clothes, cotton-padded pants, and cotton-padded shoes for the family of three, as well as two more quilts. Buy at least two hot water bottles, a scarf, a hat and gloves! In addition, she also bought 200 kilograms of high-quality charcoal for cooking hot pot in winter. She also bought a small charcoal stove and a casserole!
Then there are pork belly, fatty pork, big bones, pork liver... Taotao wished she could buy a whole pig.
In addition, there are various dried mushrooms, dried kelp, dried vermicelli, dried pickled vegetables... including millet, red beans, peanuts, soybeans, etc. In short, all kinds of food available on the market, except for a few that her family of three don’t like today, she bought almost all the others!
After thinking about it, Taotao also bought three live hens.
If we keep them in a greenhouse, they won't freeze to death, right?
Finally, Taotao exchanged some money with a scalper, went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some candies and cakes, and also weighed two kilograms of tea.
When she came to the county town, she had 500 yuan in her pocket. After shopping a lot, she only had a little over 200 yuan left in her pocket.
Taotao still felt a little distressed.
Song Zhi said, "You haven't bought the vanishing cream yet." After a pause, he explained, "It's cold, and you may feel dry. Buy two more bottles and apply them on your hands and body."
He likes fragrant peaches.
Song Zhi blushed for some reason.
Taotao thought it made sense and went back to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy several bottles of vanishing cream and clam oil.
The couple went through great pains to pile all the things they bought into a state-owned restaurant near the train station. The arrogant female salesperson looked at Taotao's family and the many bags they were carrying, and she glared at them, almost getting angry.
Taotao extended her hand to the saleswoman at the right time, and before shaking hands with her, she calmly showed the two dimes in her palm.
"escape……"
No refugees are allowed to come here!
The saleswoman only had time to say the word "escape" before Taotao shook hands with her, successfully making the saleswoman swallow the string of obscene words that followed.
"Comrade, my child is too young and the weather is cold. I would like to ask if there is braised pork and hot soup inside? We want to take a break and have a good meal." Taotao asked with a smile.
When the female salesperson heard this, it turned out that the couple were not poor.
That’s right, the men were wearing shiny leather shoes, the women were wearing tweed coats over their cotton-padded jackets, and even the children in their arms were wearing beautiful light yellow hats on their heads.
The family of three were well-dressed, clean and tidy. They were certainly not the poor people who couldn’t even afford a two-dollar serving of braised pork!
The salesperson held the money in his palm and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes! It's so cold today. We have hot pot here. Why don't you eat that? It's warm! Oh, you have so many things. Come on, put them all here. I'll help you take them and keep an eye on them! Come back and get them after you finish your meal!"
Taotao smiled, "Thank you, comrade!"
She turned back and said to Song Zhi, "My son and I will go in first. Go and call my senior sister over so we can have a hot meal."
Song Zhi nodded.
Taotao carried her son into the state-owned restaurant and ordered a hotpot set meal for four yuan. The main dish was lamb, and there were also some vermicelli, potatoes, cabbage, radishes, etc. The staple food was pancakes and rice. Taotao also ordered a steamed egg with minced meat for her son.
After a while, Song Zhi brought over Shi Yuxi, who was crying with red eyes.
Taotao pretended not to notice Shi Yuxi's embarrassed look and just warmly invited her to sit down.
Shi Yuxi was a little nervous. He looked at the wooden sign with the prices of the dishes hanging on the wall of the restaurant and asked Taotao in a thick nasal voice, "Junior sister, it's expensive to eat in a state-owned restaurant. Let's go quickly!"
"Senior Sister, I ordered hot pot! Let's eat first before we leave." Taotao said.
Shi Yuxi was shocked. "Hot pot? God...how much does that cost?"
Tao Tao smiled and pouted in the direction of Song Zhi, "...his son wants to eat!"
Little Feibai sat obediently aside, clapping his hands happily, "Mommy Feifei misses seven!"
——Mom and I both want to eat it!
Song Zhi glanced at his wife and said to Shi Yuxi, "Actually, it's Song Zhi's wife who wants to eat!"
Taotao grinned at Song Wu.
Song Zhi smiled dotingly and asked Tao Tao, "What did you order for your son?"
"Steamed eggs, what else could it be!"
Song Zhi looked at the wooden dish sign hanging on the wall and said, "Order another pickled radish?"
——Taotao likes to eat vegetables.
Taotao was reluctant to eat it, "No! There are cabbage and radish in the hot pot!" The key point is that this is a state-owned restaurant, and a serving of pickled radish costs five cents. Five cents can buy two kilograms of white radish. Taotao’s pickled radish tastes much better than those in state-owned restaurants!
Song Zhi saw another menu item that said "Freshly Stir-fried Winter Bamboo Shoots"?
Without saying a word, he stood up, took out money to buy chips from the salesperson, handed them into the window and ordered the dish.
When he returned to his seat, Taotao angrily slapped him and scolded him, "You spendthrift! That portion of winter bamboo shoots costs 1.3 yuan! It's more expensive than meat!"
Song Zhi said calmly: "What's wrong with me buying some winter bamboo shoots for my wife to eat?"
Taotao: ...
The main thing is that when I was in Ruyi Village, eating winter bamboo shoots didn’t cost any money at all. They were available in the back mountain. If you wanted to eat them, you could just pick some and bring them back. Now... one serving of stir-fried winter bamboo shoots costs 1.3 yuan?
So expensive!
After a while, the waiter came over with a small charcoal stove and a pot.
At four yuan a serving, hotpot is indeed expensive, but the ingredients are very filling. The sliced raw mutton alone weighed three pounds, plus a plate of chicken offal, a large basket of washed and cut Chinese cabbage, radish slices, vermicelli, potatoes, etc.
It looks particularly rich.
Tao Tao was still feeling bad about the 1.3 yuan winter bamboo shoots, and kept saying, "Look, look! There are already so many dishes, and there's just one more winter bamboo shoot. How can I finish it? What a waste!"
Song Zhi remained unmoved.
Soon, steamed eggs and fried bamboo shoots were served.
Tao Tao called out to Shi Yuxi, "Senior Sister, eat quickly! Eat more mutton, it will warm you up!"
Having said that, Taotao picked up a piece of fried winter bamboo shoots with chopsticks, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it slowly, showing an expression of enjoyment, but said: "...The winter bamboo shoots from my hometown are still more delicious!"
Then she took several more chopsticks of winter bamboo shoots and ate them slowly, praising them endlessly, "So delicious!"
Song Zhi looked at his wife with a smile.
Shi Yuxi was very envious when she saw the interaction between Taotao and Song Zhi.
She is also married and has a lover.
but--
Thinking of the letter Zuo Tianhua had written to her that she had just read, Shi Yuxi felt even more upset.
Seeing that Shi Yuxi looked sad, Taotao didn't ask any more questions and just urged him to eat.
I have to say, in such a cold and awful day, eating a steaming hot and delicious mutton hotpot... and seeing my junior sister's family, the loving couple, the handsome man and the pretty woman, and even the baby is so cute...
Shi Yuxi's mood gradually improved.
Tao Tao also whispered to Shi Yuxi: "Senior sister, I also bought a small charcoal stove and a clay pot. We will eat hot pot every day during the Chinese New Year!"
Shi Yuxi was a little uneasy, "I, I'm causing you trouble!"
"How could that be?" Tao Tao said, "...With you accompanying me and Xiao Feibai, our days are not lonely!"
Song Zhi did not comment, but carefully picked out the fattiest and softest parts of the cooked mutton for his son to eat, and from time to time he put two slices of mutton into Taotao's bowl.
There were so many ingredients in the hotpot, but in the end the three big kids and one small kid finished them all without leaving any soup!
There were two pancakes left and Taotao couldn't eat them anymore, so she put them away and planned to take them home to eat.
Song Zhi asked Taotao to bring the child and Shi Yuxi to wait here.
He hurried to find a car - a transport truck was delivering supplies to the satellite city today, and Song Zhi had made an appointment with the other party in advance to take their ride back to the satellite city. But before that, he had to go to the train station to pick up the luggage he had checked in from Kyoto.
In fact, Song Zhi has been looking for these luggages.
It should have arrived long ago.
Several times when Ma Zicheng went into the city for business, Song Zhi asked him to go to the train station to ask if his luggage had arrived, but he always said no. Later, the staff at the train station privately told Ma Zicheng that the large package was delivered to the wrong place at one of the transfer stations, so it would take time to find it back...
After so many delays, it has been more than a month and the checked luggage has finally arrived.
So, Song Zhi went to pick up the luggage and still left it at the state-owned hotel, and then turned back to find the transport vehicle that was transporting supplies to the satellite city.
After waiting for about half an hour, I finally got the car.
Song Zhi drove to the entrance of the state-owned hotel and loaded all his luggage into the truck bed. Finally, he took his wife, son, and Shi Yuxi into the truck bed.
Taotao asked the two drivers why they were more than an hour late.
One of the drivers said, "Don't mention it! We had planned to arrive half a day earlier than expected... We also agreed that we would have a good meal when we got to Yuxi City. But when we got to Shuangniu City, the road was frozen! There was a car right in front of us... The wheels slipped and it rushed straight down the cliff!"
"Luckily the driver reacted quickly, swerving the steering wheel and making several turns on the ice...Finally the front of the car stuck out of the cliff, with only the truck bed left on the road! But their truck bed was loaded with charcoal, which was too light to hold down the front of the car. We looked for people everywhere, stopped all the passing cars, gathered all the people together, tied a rope to their truck bed, and used manpower to pull their car back little by little!"
Taotao and Shi Yuxi's faces turned pale with fright after hearing this.
Song Zhi asked quickly, "The two brothers haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Another driver waved his hands and said, "No more eating, no more eating. Let's go quickly. If we don't move now, I'm afraid the road here will also be frozen. If we can't get to the satellite city before dark, we might freeze to death on the way. Let's go!"
Song Zhi winked at Taotao.
Taotao understood and immediately took out two still warm pancakes that she had packed from the state-owned restaurant and handed them over.
Song Zhi said to the two drivers, "Master, you two can have some pancakes to relieve your hunger!"
The two drivers thanked them, took the pancakes and started to eat them greedily.
Sure enough, on the way back, the temperature was getting colder and colder.
Fortunately, Taotao bought several ready-made cotton coats. At that moment, Taotao and Song Zhi put on cotton-padded coats, and Taotao also lent a cotton-padded coat to Shi Yuxi. Everyone then felt a little warmer and huddled together to take a nap.
At dark, the transport truck finally arrived at the satellite city.
When Taotao got off the car, she felt the cold wind mixed with snow and sand blowing across her face, which was as painful as a knife.
She shivered involuntarily.
The satellite city is a restricted area and no one is allowed to enter or leave at will.
Taotao is a family member and can come in and out.
But Shi Yuxi is not.
So Song Zhi gave the key to Taotao, sent her and his son to the entrance of the underground city, and told her to take the child to his room to rest first; then he took Shi Yuxi to the Security Department to go through the formalities, and after obtaining Shi Yuxi's temporary entry and exit permit, he placed Shi Yuxi in a temporary guesthouse in the satellite city.
Next, Song Zhi went to get some food and brought a kettle of boiling water to Shi Yuxi, asking her to have a good rest after the meal. Then he hurried back to the parking area of the transport truck in front of the warehouse, found the warehouse keeper and said something to him. He unloaded his and Taotao's luggage and the purchased items from the truck and temporarily stored them in a corner of the warehouse.
After finishing all this, he returned to the dormitory.
The dungeon was relatively warmer, so Taotao and Xiao Feibai took off their cotton coats and trousers and just wore sweaters.
At this moment, Taotao had taken her son to the canteen to buy food and brought back some boiled water. She also watched Xiao Feibai eat dinner... and was washing her son's body with warm water.
"Dad, seven meals! Mom, seven meals!" Xiao Feibai shouted.
Tao Tao also said: "Hurry up and wash your face with hot water! He has already eaten, and I haven't eaten yet. I'll wait for you to eat together!"
Song Zhi first smiled and touched his son's head covered with soft hair, then poured some hot water into the basin, soaked the towel in the hot water and rubbed it, wrung it dry, wiped his face, neck and hands, and said, "It's snowing heavily outside again. With such heavy sand snow, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave tomorrow."
Tao Tao was a little worried, "I don't know if the roof of my greenhouse can withstand it."
——Due to lack of funds, her greenhouse does not have any glass and is made entirely of film. If the snow and sand are too big, there is a fear that the roof of the shed may be crushed, and the saplings that have just been planted inside may be frozen to death.
Song Zhi comforted Tao Tao, "It's good that he's okay. Besides, Jiang Hongzhi is eager to show off in front of you. Even if you're not there, he will find a way to keep the greenhouse."
Taotao looked sad.
Xiao Feibai also said worriedly: "Big King Big A has no rice and rice seven."
——His puppies Dahuang and Dahei have no food left.
Song Zhi comforted his wife and son softly, ate with Taotao, and watched over Taotao and his son until they went to bed.
Taotao and her son had spent the whole day strolling around the county town and had been on a car ride for at least eight hours. They were very sleepy and tired, and soon fell asleep in bed.
Song Zhi carefully tucked the quilt in for the mother and son, gave a light kiss on the forehead of each, then tiptoed out of the room to work overtime in the workshop.
The next morning, Taotao realized after waking up that Song Zhi must have been busy in the workshop all night and had never come back.
She took good care of her son and took him to the canteen to look for someone...
Not found.
Then she stood at the door of the workshop and waited. When she saw someone who looked familiar, she quickly asked him to go in and see if Song Zhi was there.
Soon, Song Zhi came out in a blue overalls. His eyes were red from staying up late and his clothes were covered with dirty oil.
"If you were so busy, you shouldn't have agreed to let me go to the city to buy things yesterday." Taotao complained to him.
Song Zhi smiled and said, "Luckily I bought some yesterday! The snow and sand have been falling since yesterday evening and haven't stopped yet. They all said that the mountain will be closed half a month earlier this year due to heavy snow!"
Taotao became even more worried about her greenhouse.
Song Zhi said, "Let's go have breakfast first. You can send some breakfast to your senior sister later. But she lives in a guesthouse on the ground, so remember to put on your cotton clothes when you go out."
Taotao nodded.
Song Zhi accompanied the mother and son to finish their breakfast in a hurry, and then repeatedly told them, "Be sure to wear cotton clothes when you leave the underground city... Also, don't rush back, wait until the snow stops."
Taotao had no choice but to agree.
Song Zhi hurried back to work again.
Taotao bought a breakfast and took her son back to the dormitory. The mother and son were fully armed and put on cotton coats, cotton pants, cotton shoes, hats, scarves and gloves...
But when the mother and daughter left the underground city and came to the ground, they were still shocked by the spectacular scenery before them.
Because the satellite city is basically hidden underground, there are not many buildings on the surface, and it has been snowing for a day and a night... basically all the buildings are covered with white snow! It was all white all around and I couldn’t see anything!
Little Feibai had never seen such heavy snow. He was very excited. He broke free from his mother's hand and ran out.
result--
As soon as the little guy rushed out, he got stuck in the snow and couldn't move!
It turned out that the snow on the ground was too thick. As soon as the little guy stepped out, the snow got stuck to his waist.
He was so anxious that he shouted, "...Mom, mom, mom! Pull out the radishes!"
Taotao was both angry and amused. She went forward, hugged her son, and pulled him out.
A staff member in the distance shouted at her, "Family member! What do you want to do?"
Taotao also shouted loudly: "Comrade, I want to go to the guesthouse!"
"The snow hasn't been cleared here, so you can't go there... Go around! Go to the boiler room! There's a path that has been cleared over there, go there!" the staff shouted.
Taotao followed her instructions and took her son to the back door. Sure enough, she found a cleared path and went to the guesthouse along the way.
The guesthouse where Shi Yuxi stayed was obviously much colder.
However, the staff in charge of logistics had already sent her a few more quilts. She closed the door and hid in the room, covering herself with the quilt and staying on the bed, which made her feel quite warm.
Taotao brought her breakfast and talked about the heavy snow...
It was also Shi Yuxi's first time to celebrate the New Year in the Northwest. Seeing such heavy snow, she was as worried as Taotao.
As they chatted, somehow they ended up talking about Shi Yuxi and Zuo Tianhua's marriage.
Shi Yuxi cried and told Taotao that she received eleven letters from Zuo Tianhua at the post office yesterday.
In these eleven letters, Zuo Tianhua expressed sadness, anger, affection, jealousy, sarcasm, and sadness... In short, he used all kinds of different attitudes to write about the same thing: Did you tell my teacher to transfer me back to Beijing as soon as possible?
"I really can't stand it!" Shi Yuxi bit her lip and said, "...Junior sister, to be honest, I have wanted to divorce him for a long time. He even agreed...but he didn't want any unnecessary trouble that would affect his admission to the research institute. So when I mentioned divorce, he said we would talk about it next year..."
"Now, he can't graduate and can't enter the research institute. When I told him about the divorce, he got angry and said I was ungrateful and that I was ungrateful! At that time, you were still giving birth in the hospital. He thought it was Song Zhi who was bullying him, so he asked me to find you..."
"I asked him, since you think it was Song Zhi who bullied you, why don't you go find Song Zhi directly? Why do you have to find Taotao? She's having a baby, who has time to care about you... But he just wouldn't listen, and he didn't go find Song Zhi. He pushed the matter onto me, forcing me to find you, and even blamed my family for not helping him..."
Shi Yuxi was so angry that she was shaking all over. "I, I was so blind to marry such a person! But... I can't get a divorce... I feel like I'm stuck in a quagmire for the rest of my life and I can never get out! Sometimes I even think that it doesn't matter if I pass my graduation project or defense, I can just go to the countryside to work in the production team! Maybe only if I go to the countryside, he will let me go and divorce me..."
Tao Tao, "You are hurting the enemy by a thousand and yourself by eight hundred!"
After a pause, Tao Tao advised: "It's not good to give up on yourself. Senior Sister, you should think on the bright side. As for Zuo Tianhua, you will know after a few more years when he suffers a little more."
Shi Yuxi cried for a while, then gradually calmed down, "You're right... I'm sorry, Taotao, I dumped all my negative emotions on you, I'm sorry!"
Taotao smiled, "It's okay, it's okay! By the way, Senior Sister, do you have any new ideas for your graduation project?"
Shi Yuxi shook her head sadly. "The divorce has upset me. My mind is empty. I... don't have the heart to think about anything else."
"Then think more about your career and profession. The more energy you spend on this aspect, naturally you will have less time to think about those messy things." Taotao said.
Shi Yuxi nodded repeatedly.
She hesitated for a while and said to Taotao, "I saw you bought three chickens yesterday. How are you going to feed them?"
Tao Tao slapped her forehead, "Chickens! Hey, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten to ask Song Zhi where he put the chickens... As for raising chickens, my original plan was to raise them in a greenhouse..."
"Are you feeding them millet or the ice leaf vegetables grown in the fields?" Shi Yuxi asked.
Tao Tao, "Feed them with leftover rice, potato peels, and husks!"
Shi Yuxi asked Taotao a question she wanted to ask yesterday, "Have you ever thought about raising some insects to feed the chickens?"
Now Taotao was the one who was stunned.
——She raises chickens to improve her life. There are three hens, and each of them lays an egg every day, so there will be three eggs that day... Even if the hens do not lay an egg a day, it should not be a big problem to eat one or two eggs within two or three days.
At least Xiao Feibai can eat nutritious eggs.
Now Shi Yuxi asked her if she wanted to feed some insects specifically?
Feeding chickens bugs? ? ?
It’s not impossible, but…
Raising insects to feed chickens is mass production farming.
Taotao thought about it and nodded slowly, "We can try it with these three chickens first..."
Then she looked at Shi Yuxi again, her eyes sparkling, and smiled: "Senior sister, you said you had an empty mind! Isn't this an excellent graduation project?"
"What?" Shi Yuxi asked in surprise, "What does this have to do with your graduation project?"
Taotao smiled and said, "I won't interfere with you! You can think about your own graduation project by yourself! But I think this direction is right."
Shi Yuxi was puzzled.
Which direction is right? What does raising insects to feed chickens have to do with her graduation thesis?
She is engaged in agricultural research and studies plants. What does it have to do with breeding insects?
etc!
Shi Yuxi suddenly felt a flash of inspiration in his mind.
She was stunned and dazed.
Taotao stopped disturbing Shi Yuxi, stood up, took her son's hand, and gently left Shi Yuxi's room.
Taotao and her son stayed in the satellite city for another day. The snow had stopped, but heavy snow started falling again.
The satellite city hasn't gone to Lingxi Oasis to fetch water for two days.
They already had a stockpile of drinking water stored, and they could also collect snow water for heating and industrial use...so when the city was blocked by ice and snow, it wouldn't be a big problem if they didn't get water for two or three days.
Another day passed and the heavy snow stopped.
The logistics department of the satellite city decided to send a convoy to Lingxi to fetch water.
It just so happened that Taotao and Shi Yuxi could take a ride back with their children. Song Zhi quickly picked up all the things Taotao had bought and her luggage, and he also went to Lingxi Oasis with her.
As a result, when Taotao returned to Oasis and hurried to check her greenhouse, she not only found that the greenhouse was in good condition, but also unexpectedly discovered that Deng Gaoyun, who should have returned to Kyoto with his teacher, was actually staying in her laboratory? ? ?
"Senior Brother Deng, why are you here?" Taotao asked curiously.
Deng Gaoyun looked helpless.
It turned out that he did follow his teacher into the train station.
But when he was cutting his ticket to enter the station, his bag was slashed, and his twenty yuan, train ticket, letter of introduction and other items were all gone!
But he was the last in line. The teachers and junior students in front of him entered the train station without looking back, but he was stopped by the ticket inspector who refused to let him in no matter what.
There was no other choice, so Deng Gaoyun had to go to the police station at the railway station to report the case.
But after reporting the case, he had already missed the train... He was really helpless. Finally, I had no choice but to go to the post office next door and use the last dollar I had left to send a simple telegram back to Beijing to let my teacher know that I was safe: "I lost my ticket, I am going back to Lingxi."
——He couldn’t go back to his own experimental field because he had no intention of spending the New Year there, and there were no daily necessities in his own experimental field.
So he could only go to Taotao for help.
By this time it was already dark and snowing.
Deng Gaoyun stood on the side of the road and stopped a transport truck that would pass through Liu Town.
——Liu Town is not far from Lingxi, and people in Liu Town usually go to Lingxi to fetch water from time to time. So Deng Gaoyun thought that once he arrived in Liu Town, he could find a way to go to Lingxi.
Unexpectedly, the transport truck slipped and overturned halfway!
Fortunately, a team of military transport vehicles guarding the border passed by. They found a way to help lift up the transport vehicle and repaired it.
Deng Gaoyun told the soldiers about his situation and asked if they could take him to Lingxi. The soldiers shook their heads and said that the snow would last at least two or three days. It’s windy and snowy, so we can’t go. The road is too dangerous. So they brought Deng Gaoyun to the army corps and let him stay there for two days.
Deng Gaoyun also arrived in Lingxi yesterday.
What he didn't expect was that Taotao and Shi Yuxi hadn't come back yet?
Fortunately, Jiang Hongzhi had Taotao's key and opened the door, allowing Deng Gaoyun to stay in the research station for the night.
Tao Tao smiled and said, "Then we three are destined to be together this year! Let's celebrate the New Year together!"
Deng Gaoyun was a little worried. "Taotao, your daily necessities were only for you, and you have a child. Now there are me and Yuxi... Is it enough to eat?"
Tao Tao raised her eyebrows, "With a greenhouse here, you're actually worried about not having enough to eat?"
Deng Gaoyun laughed dumbly, "You don't grow rice or wheat in this greenhouse, not even any staple food... Even if you did, you wouldn't be able to grow anything in two or three months!"
Taotao smiled mysteriously, "Anyway, I have a way!"
Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi were both worried about Taotao's food stores, but Taotao was not worried at all because she had plenty of ways to get food; Song Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief - with Deng Gaoyun around, Taotao's safety was further guaranteed!
As soon as the first snow melted, traffic was temporarily restored.
Before Song Zhi and Deng Gaoyun had time to unload Taotao's New Year's goods and luggage, people from the town's post office drove over to the oasis to fetch water and brought Taotao a large stack of letters.
There were letters from parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in Song City, letters from Song Sui to Taotao, letters from Brother Nansheng who was far away, letters from Sister Li Zi in Kyoto, as well as letters from Cheng Zhujun in Song County, Guan Haishan in Ruyi Village, Zhang Lingzhi and Wang Bingyuan in Kyoto... and even from the old owner, Brother Tan, and other relatives and friends... There were a total of twenty or thirty letters!
Among them, what surprised Taotao the most was a registered letter from Kyoto. The sender was the Agricultural Research Institute of the Agricultural University, and the writer was Senior Sister Wang.
Judging from the postmark, it seems like it was sent the day before Professor Fu left Lingxi County?
Senior Sister Wang wrote to Taotao in an angry tone on the letter paper:
"…She came half a month after you left, and she looked flustered. She even argued with me when she saw me sorting out documents in your department. I went to the teacher to get the certificate and showed it to her. She was angry and ashamed. I thought she would take over the work, but the fight was so fierce at the time that I couldn't save face, so I thought about calming down first and handing over to her a day later."
"As a result, she disappeared again the next day, so I had to continue to practice and record according to the log requirements. Just in case, I sorted out all the existing data overnight (including the data you recorded before), wrote a report and submitted it to the hospital."
"I didn't expect her to show up two weeks later and hand over my work to me as if nothing had happened. I told her that since she was back, she should hand over the work and report to the hospital. She said there was no rush, but that afternoon, a fire broke out in your department."
"Many people heard about the fire and went to put out the fire. I also ran over to see what was burned. What was burned was exactly the log contents that you and I had recorded. The other files were not damaged at all. I was very angry and asked her if she had deliberately burned the data I recorded. In the end, she made all kinds of excuses, saying that not only my records were gone, but even the data recorded by Bai Taotao was gone..."
"At that time, I told her that I had reported the data recorded by Bai Taotao, and she collapsed. She cried and talked about her difficulties, how difficult her family and her marriage were... Bai Taotao, I wrote this letter to you just to let you know the truth of the matter as soon as possible. I, Wang Liying, cannot stand this kind of lazy behavior, and I will never allow anyone to scheme like this and damage the collective interests in order to protect their own interests..."
After reading the letter, Taotao gave it to Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi to read in turn.
Deng Gaoyun finished reading it quickly and asked Taotao with a smile, "You keep saying Senior Sister Wang, Senior Sister Wang, I thought you were looking for Wang Shilan... She must be the one with the best temper. I didn't expect you were looking for Wang Liying!"
Taotao pursed her lips and smiled.
Shi Yuxi also smiled and said, "Wang Liying is a very capable person. If An Qiuli meets her, she will not get any benefits."
