Chapter 149: Snow Visitors (1)
Taotao went to see Xiao Qingjuan because she hoped that she could participate in the winter vacation course competition and get first place.
Because the prize for first place is two kilograms of flour.
Of course, this is because the Lingxi Oasis First Production Team is still a particularly poor unit, and Taotao and her classmates have more courses this time...
Jiang Hongzhi spent the whole night calculating the inventory in the collective warehouse over and over again using an abacus, and finally managed to squeeze out this small amount of prizes.
Even so, Xiao Qingjuan's eyes still lit up.
She knew that the research station had given everyone many classes. Could it be that...
Taotao interrupted her random thoughts at the right time: "A person can only participate in the selection once!"
Xiao Qingjuan chuckled, thought about it carefully, and said, "Then I am suitable for..."
"Seedling cultivation and pest and disease prevention." Taotao made the final decision.
Xiao Qingjuan suddenly felt a little...guilty.
"Fei Fei's mom, I really can't do it!" Xiao Qingjuan said quickly, "I, I can't even recognize all the characters! How dare I compete for the first place! I, I'll think about something else!"
Tao Tao smiled and said, "Everyone knows that this subject is the most difficult, so the number of people who sign up is the least! As for literacy, how many people in your village can read? Don't you know?"
Xiao Qingjuan was stunned.
Of course she knew that this village was an illiterate village!
There are almost 200 men, women, young and old in the village, and only the educated youth from outside the village can read and write, and there are no more than ten of them together!
Otherwise, Bai Taotao wouldn't have hosted classes to teach everyone about literacy!
Among these seven or eight educated youth, four or five were men, who were basically team leaders and could not participate in these classroom evaluations. Most of the two or three women are married and have children, and they quietly do housework at home...
So it seems that there is still a chance!
Xiao Qingjuan bit her lip.
Tao Tao said to her, "There is still a month left. I will teach you repeatedly. You just need to listen carefully!"
Then he smiled again, "Brother Jiang and his friends have organized many activities. You can participate more and win more prizes... You and Hua Niu can have a good New Year!"
Xiao Qingjuan thought about it and nodded, "Then I will... listen carefully to Feifei's mother's lessons!"
Taotao smiled.
For her, "Fei Fei's mom" is a unique identity authentication.
Taotao doesn't know how to take care of children.
When she was in the fairyland before, she had never even seen a child; when she occasionally wandered to the mortal world, before she had the chance to see the human world, she was in danger, rescued by her master, and brought to Mei Sect.
After reincarnation, she stayed in Ruyi Village. Everyone in the family loved her. Even the two little children, Hongdou and Huangdou, treated her as someone who needed to be taken care of... Later, she also watched Green Bean and Potato being born. But her eldest sister-in-law Tan Fenghui was too capable. She took care of the children's eating, drinking, defecating and urinating by herself. Taotao of course also helped take care of them...
But only after giving birth to a child can you experience what it feels like to be a mother.
That's the feeling of being relied on, trusted, admired and loved.
So Taotao still likes the title "Fei Fei's mom" very much.
Although no one calls her that.
Perhaps Xiao Qingjuan and Hua Niu were the only ones who called her that.
Tao Tao smiled and said to Xiao Qingjuan: "Okay, then you should go back quickly and adjust your schedule in the future. You should do housework when you should do housework and go to class when you should go to class. If you can't come up with a piece of firewood a day..."
Xiao Qingjuan quickly said, "One stick of firewood a day is not too much to bear!"
Before, she only went to class every now and then, and it wasn't that she couldn't produce a piece of firewood a day, but mainly because she couldn't manage the time... Now winter is almost here, but she and her daughter are leaving home with nothing (mainly because there is really nothing to divide up at home), and she hopes to spend more time on things like catching voles, collecting firewood, washing clothes and earning potatoes.
Now, since Feifei’s mother said so, she will definitely participate.
The two said goodbye to each other with smiles.
Taotao returned to the research station.
Now Xiao Feibai has a regular friend to play with him every day, and Taotao hardly has to take care of him except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.
Taotao stood at the door and watched Xiao Feibai and Hua Niu playing the cat's tuck game for a while, then walked into the research station with a smile.
The ordinary but fulfilling days pass by.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Song Zhi asked the water truck driver to bring a message, saying that he would be able to come to the oasis the day after tomorrow. He had saved up four days of vacation and could stay at Taotao's place for four days.
Taotao is quite looking forward to it.
After all, the family of three hadn't seen each other for more than twenty days.
She deliberately took time out to tidy up the room - all the New Year's goods she bought and the luggage shipped from Kyoto were slowly unpacked, and everything she needed was taken out... Slowly, there were more and more things in the room.
The room was small, so she and Xiao Feibai didn't feel any problem even though they were squeezed together. But Song Zhi was tall, and was afraid that the room would be too small for three people.
However, it started snowing that night.
Taotao fell asleep, but was awakened by the increasingly dense and loud sound of snow and sand hitting the roof.
He took out a flashlight and a watch from under his pillow and looked at the time - half past eleven at night? !
Taotao endured it for half an hour with her eyes open. She couldn't bear it any longer, so she got up, put on her cotton coat, turned on the flashlight, and called Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi...
——The felt cloth on the top of the greenhouse must be covered.
Otherwise, I’m afraid this blizzard will be even more severe than the last one, and it would be terrible if it crushed the greenhouse.
Before that, Taotao called the two dogs into the house to watch over her sleeping son, and then she went out fully armed with her senior brothers and sisters to pull the felt cloth.
The three of them worked for nearly two hours. They were hit in the face by snow and sand, felt very cold, sweated from the heat, and their legs were weak from exhaustion... before they finally managed to pull up the felt cloths of the two greenhouses.
When we returned to the research station, it was already two o'clock in the morning.
Taotao lit a fire and cooked a pot of noodle dumpling soup, adding some salt, lard, and some chili sauce made by Shi Yuxi. The three brothers and sisters ate the soup and were full.
Then Taotao boiled two more pots of water and filled all the kettles. She shared the extra hot water with Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi, each taking a basin to their own rooms to wash up.
Taotao changed out of her sweat-soaked autumn clothes, wiped her body, and used the remaining hot water to soak her feet.
After eating a big bowl of noodle soup and soaking her feet, she felt warm all over... Then she went to bed and fell asleep with her son in her arms.
This was a sound sleep.
After waking up, she felt something was not right.
Looking at the watch again -
Oh my god, it’s already half past ten in the morning? ? ?
Taotao sat up suddenly and looked at the dim light in the room, almost wondering if her watch was broken.
——It looked like it wasn’t even daybreak yet, how could it be half past ten in the morning?
She quickly put on her cotton coat, walked to the glass window and took a look, then she understood.
It was snowing so densely and thickly outside that it blocked out the sun...
It looked like daybreak.
Taotao looked back at her son sleeping in bed.
——The little guy was warmed by his mother's body temperature. He kicked off the quilt in a short while and lay on his back with his arms and legs stretched to the extreme and his face flushed. It was obvious that he was sleeping soundly.
Taotao smiled, went over, hugged her son and rocked him for a while, then kissed the little guy's face.
Xiao Feibai closed his eyes and asked vaguely: "Mom, is Daddy here?"
Taotao was stunned.
She sighed.
With such heavy snow, I don’t know how many days it will last, let alone when it will melt.
It seems that Song Zhi won't be able to come here in a short time.
Although she knew that Song Zhi couldn't come over, Taotao still used some of her spiritual power and asked Little Grape in the greenhouse, "Little Grape, can you get in touch with Song Zhi about the situation? 】
Little Grape answered quickly, "Taotao, in the morning he went back to his room to shave and change his clothes. Then, seeing that the snow was too heavy, he changed back into his work clothes and went back to the workshop to work. 】
Taotao breathed a sigh of relief and asked Xiaopuo, "How are you?" Is it cold? 】
Little Grape, [It’s cold! The soil is cold, and it's dark without any sunlight... Taotao, I don't like it here. 】
Taotao quickly comforted Little Grape, "I'll go over and light the charcoal brazier and sprinkle some water on you...Are the other plants okay? 】
Little Grape, [They seem to be more adaptable than me... Taotao, I’m cold. 】
As she spoke, Little Grape's voice became aggrieved.
Taotao couldn't stay any longer.
She woke her son up and went out to make breakfast.
Deng Gaoyun and Shi Yuxi also stood up.
The two of them were also amazed, saying that it was so dark that they thought their watches were broken...
The three of them had a simple breakfast. Taotao found a baby carrier, put her son on her back, and went into the greenhouse through the back door of the warehouse with her senior brothers and sisters.
Because there was felt on the ceiling, the light in the greenhouse was very poor, almost the same as at night. The brothers and sisters lit the charcoal brazier and sprinkled some water on the plants. Taotao deliberately touched the small grape vine, chatted with it for a few words to comfort it, and then returned to the research station.
Since they had nothing to do, Taotao and Shi Yuxi decided to make some noodles while the weather was cold so that they wouldn't have to knead the dough every time they cooked.
So the three adults started to chat while kneading the dough to make noodles, and little Feibai played with the two puppies in the house.
The three of them made a lot of noodles.
They needed to hang the noodles outside to let them freeze naturally, but they were too lazy to wear cotton clothes, so they rushed out of the office one by one and hung the noodles on the clothesline in the yard...
Da Huang and Da Hei were frightened and rushed out with the three people...then they ran back for unknown reasons, rushed out again, and rushed back again...
Xiao Feibai laughed and shouted happily, and even Taotao and the others couldn't help laughing as well.
The heavy snow fell all day long.
The three adults and one child in the research station did not have any burden, after all, the warehouse was full of sufficient and rich varieties of daily necessities.
But Taotao is a little worried about Song Zhi.
According to what Little Grape had conveyed, Song Zhi was clearly in a irritable mood - the heavy snow had blocked the roads, so the water transport had been suspended, and it looked like the snow would not stop in the next few days. He was restless and wanted to drive to the Oasis himself many times, but was persuaded by Professor Dong and others.
Then he became restless, sometimes going back to his room to lie down, sometimes going to the rest pavilion on the ground to wait for the snow to stop, and sometimes going to the workshop to work but not in the mood...
Taotao sighed.
There was no way, she was the only one who knew about Song Zhi's situation.
Until the next morning, the heavy snow still showed no sign of stopping, but the village was visibly restless.
There are sounds of dogs barking.
After a while, Jiang Hongzhi came over and knocked on the door, "Taozi! Taozi, open the door!"
Taotao hurried over and opened the door.
Jiang Hongzhi led twenty or thirty strong men in the village, all of whom stood at the door fully armed, and were followed by seven or eight dogs. They wore straw hats on their heads, held axes, shoulder poles and other items in their hands, had ropes tied around their waists, and wore wooden clogs tied with straw ropes on their feet, looking like they were going on a long journey.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Taotao asked.
Jiang Hongzhi said: "Lend me your two dogs!"
Then explained it a little bit.
——We saw military flares near the village last night. Someone nearby must be in danger. So Jiang Hongzhi organized people and prepared to go out for search and rescue.
Taotao thought for a moment and said, "Brother, wait for me here."
Then she hurried back to the house.
Her two dogs were only teenagers in terms of their age. She was afraid that the dogs could not survive such a cold day, so she called them over, picked up two old cotton coats on the ground, and tied them to the dogs.
——Those two pieces of old cotton clothes were originally intended to be used as doghouses for them.
Dahuang and Dahei were very obedient and let their hostess "put" on cotton clothes for them.
Next, Taotao dug out two packages from her luggage and hurriedly brought them to Jiang Hongzhi, "Brother, this package is labor protection gloves, and this package is lining cloth..."
Work gloves are Taotao's personal item. She is afraid of getting her hands irritated because she needs to hold a hoe and other tools for a long time while working in a greenhouse. The lining cloth is also Taotao's personal item. At the beginning, she was afraid that after coming here, the glass would be broken and could not be replaced in time, so she thought of using the lining cloth as a temporary substitute.
Work gloves cannot keep you warm for a long time, but they are better than nothing.
These white linings are good stuff!
They are light, thin, and not very breathable. Taotao cut the lining cloth into pieces about one meter wide and two meters long. She first helped Jiang Hongzhi put it on, and then tidied it up until it became a white vest.
Tao Tao explained: "This cloth can't keep you warm, but it can block the snow and prevent it from penetrating the cotton coat."
Jiang Hongzhi was very grateful, "Thank you Taozi." Then he asked the villagers to follow his example and put the lining cloth over their cotton coats.
He was leading people away——
Taotao remembered something again, "Brother, wait a moment!"
Then she ran back to the room, took out the bag of unbearably sweet candies that she didn't want at all, and gave it to Jiang Hongzhi, "Brother, take this with you too! It'll be a good help in case you get hungry outside!"
Jiang Hongzhi weighed it and found that the bag of candy weighed more than one kilogram!
"Thank you!"
The smile on Jiang Hongzhi's face showed some warmth, and the villagers beside him also looked at Taotao with gratitude.
"Be careful on the road!" Taotao waved at them.
The group left with a dozen local dogs.
Among them, the big yellow and big black ones wearing clothes look particularly majestic.
After Jiang Hongzhi and his friends left, heavy snow continued for another day and night.
Taotao and her fellow students stayed at the research station, eating and sleeping well. Every morning, they would work together to find a way to remove the snow on the roof of the greenhouse, and then sweep the snow around the research station...
The whole village and the entire oasis were covered with snow.
It was strangely quiet, and it made people feel uncertain and flustered.
The main thing is that Jiang Hongzhi and his team have been out for a day and a night, and we don’t know what the situation is.
Taotao and the others didn't dare to go out because the ground was covered with snow and they didn't know where the pits or slopes were. It would be terrible if they fell.
Xiao Qingjuan came once, mainly to see if Taotao was okay.
Taotao quickly stuffed her with a bag of milk powder, a two-pound bag of flour, and a small can of lard, and asked her to eat them with Huaniu. Then he asked her to bring a package containing ten kilograms of flour, a bag of milk powder, and a package of dry goods such as various mushrooms and kelp to Zhou Chunni.
——Because Zhou Chunni is pregnant and Jiang Hongzhi is not at home, and he has three young children at home, Taotao is still very worried about Zhou Chunni.
Xiao Qingjuan thanked Taotao and left with her things.
About an hour later, Xiao Qingjuan came back to report the news.
Perhaps, Xiao Qingjuan was afraid that Taotao would stuff something in her again, so after knocking on Taotao's door, she simply said that Zhou Chunni was fine, then stuffed Taotao with the return gift that Zhou Chunni asked her to bring to her, as well as her return gift to Taotao, and ran away quickly.
Taotao was both amused and confused.
After opening the two packages, I saw that Zhou Chunni brought seven or eight pancakes, and Xiao Qingjuan brought a bag of... fresh cactus? ? ?
Taotao was very surprised and quickly called Deng Gaoyun to come and see.
——It is true that cactus likes drought and tolerates slight alkalinity, but this thing should not survive in a place with such cold winter.
Deng Gaoyun took the large piece of cactus and turned it over and over, saying, "This variety is edible and can be cultivated. Look here, here... These are old wounds, the skin was broken and then healed. I guess Hua Niuniang picked it up from a place far away from here and took great pains to keep it alive... This variety is too common, we don't have it in our greenhouse. Why don't you break off a few pieces and plant them in the greenhouse, and use them as vegetables to improve your life."
Taotao nodded.
So she broke off a few pieces of cactus and stuck them in the greenhouse. She peeled and sliced the remaining cactus, soaked them in salt water, and then added some bacon and fried them. The three adults and one child had a fresh meal.
Late in the night, someone knocked on the door of the research station.
Taotao quickly got dressed and opened the door.
——Jiang Hongzhi and his team are back, and they brought back a team of seven people.
Jiang Hongzhi came to return the dog and work gloves, and asked her with a smug look if she had any medicine.
Tao Tao frowned and looked at Jiang Hongzhi. She saw that his nose was red from the cold, his hair, eyebrows, and eyelashes were all frozen, and even his cheeks had red wrinkles and cracks. She asked quickly, "Who is it? How are you injured?"
Jiang Hongzhi replied: "Those seven people were from the oil exploration team. They were trapped by the snowstorm and their car flipped over and couldn't move. We walked for a whole day to get there, and then walked with them for another day and night to get back..."
Then he talked about the symptoms of the others. "Our people are not in serious condition. We managed to come back alive mainly thanks to the bag of fruit candy you gave us! But among the seven people, an old man has a fever, probably because he was frozen. A man was injured and covered in blood. The specific situation is not clear yet. There is also a woman who said that she has menstrual cramps..."
At this point, Jiang Hongzhi, a man in his thirties, felt a little uncomfortable, but he tried his best to hold it back and continued, "She said she wanted painkillers."
Tao Tao said: "So I need antipyretics, cold medicine, topical hemostatics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and painkillers?"
Jiang Hongzhi nodded.
Taotao went to get the medicine and handed it to Jiang Hongzhi, "You have to give them these medicines according to the instructions. There are enough other medicines, but when I went to the city last time, I didn't prescribe too many painkillers. There is only one pill left. You can take it!"
Jiang Hongzhi nodded again, thought for a moment, and thanked Taotao again, "Taozi, thank you so much... When I was not at home, you took the trouble to take care of Chunni and my little ones for me."
"It's okay! Sister Chunni also gave me a dozen pancakes!" Taotao said with a smile.
Jiang Hongzhi didn't say anything, but bowed to Taotao, then hurried away with the medicine.
In the afternoon, someone came knocking on the door of the research station again.
Taotao went to open the door and found that the people coming were a man and a woman, both in their early thirties, and both were strangers.
The two men were stunned when they saw Taotao.
——Although the girl in front of them was wearing a bulky cotton-padded coat, she still showed off her slender waist. Coupled with her fair skin, black hair, and beautiful face, both of them were stunned for a moment.
Tao Tao frowned, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"
She also looked at the man and woman in front of her, and had already guessed their identities - perhaps they were the people rescued by Jiang Hongzhi and his team?
The man was thinly dressed, pale and of ordinary appearance; the woman was pretty, with a rosy complexion, and looked at Taotao with a sharp look.
The man came back to his senses and said, "Hello comrade, who is the person in charge here?"
Taotao: "I am."
The two were stunned again, probably because they didn't expect that such a young and beautiful girl would be the head of the research station?
The man said, "Hello, comrade. My name is Qi Jiajun, and this is my colleague Li Xueyu. We are both from the oil exploration team. This is what happened... We were on our way to a mission and were trapped by a blizzard. After we came here, the team leader arranged for us to live in the production team's warehouse, but Xueyu is a female comrade after all... So, can you please take Xueyu in?"
Taotao refused directly, "Sorry, we have no vacant rooms here."
Qi Jiajun and Li Xueyu opened their mouths wide, looking shocked.
They didn't expect that Taotao would actually refuse their request.
Taotao smiled at them and closed the door.
Turning around, she saw Shi Yuxi's surprised expression.
Taotao shook her head at Shi Yuxi and pointed behind her.
Shi Yuxi said nothing and followed Taotao quietly to the kitchen at the back.
Deng Gaoyun saw this and came over.
"Taotao, why don't you help her?" Shi Yuxi asked in a low voice.
——She knew Taotao was not a stingy person. When Jiang Hongzhi and his men set out to look for someone, Taotao had found so many private goods for them. Later, when Jiang Hongzhi asked her to get medicine to save someone, Taotao also gave it to him. You know, Taotao bought those medicines with her own money.
Tao Tao said: "You two didn't see... When the two people came, the man was wearing a jacket, and his face and hands were covered with scratches. The woman had two cotton coats on her body, the outer one was obviously men's, and she also had a men's scarf on her head..."
Deng Gaoyun guessed: "This shows that they might be a couple. Is it possible that the gay man loves the lesbian?"
Tao Tao looked at Deng Gaoyun with disdain, "Single men, stop making blind guesses."
Deng Gaoyun looked hurt.
Shi Yuxi explained: "If they are really a couple, the female lesbian will feel sorry for the male lesbian. In such a cold day, even if the male lesbian wants to give his cotton coat to the female lesbian, the female lesbian will refuse. The most she can accept is to wear an extra scarf."
After a pause, Shi Yuxi continued, "Even if they are not lovers, a lesbian cannot accept a colleague's cotton-padded jacket so comfortably! In this weather, the temperature is sometimes below 10 degrees Celsius. How can she wear two cotton-padded jackets and let her colleague wear a jacket?"
Deng Gaoyun suddenly realized.
Shi Yuxi hesitated, "Taotao, she is a female comrade after all, and she is in trouble. We can't just not help her, right?"
Tao Tao said solemnly: "So I just want to say hello to my senior brothers and sisters... I have the final say on this matter! I will not accept Comrade Li Xueyu to live in our research station."
After a pause, Tao Tao explained, "Just now when Brother Jiang came to me to get medicine, he said that Comrade Li Xueyu had dysmenorrhea, so she needed painkillers... Of course, if she really felt very uncomfortable, I could understand, and I gave her the painkillers. But the problem is, she could say that she had dysmenorrhea in front of Brother Jiang, a man she didn't even know... And I saw her face just now, it was rosy and energetic!"
"I think a person who protects himself so well in difficult situations and is not afraid of bothering others is a difficult person to get along with, so I don't want to make myself unhappy." Taotao said frankly.
——The most important thing is that Jiang Hongzhi did not accompany these two people to see her.
It can be seen that Jiang Hongzhi also did not approve of Taotao taking in these two people.
Deng Gaoyun, "I'll listen to Junior Sister!"
Shi Yuxi also nodded, "I understand, I will listen to you too."
While they were talking, someone knocked on the door again, "Comrade? Comrade! Please open the door!"
Judging from the voice, it's Li Xueyu.
Taotao walked over and raised her voice, "Excuse me, is there anything else?"
Li Xueyu, "Comrade, please open the door!"
"If you have something to say, just tell me. This is a laboratory. I open the door too many times. Once the temperature drops, the samples in my laboratory will be ruined." Taotao lied.
Li Xueyu: …
Seeing that she didn't answer, Tao Tao said, "Comrade, please go back quickly. It's windy and snowy outside!"
Li Xueyu quickly said, "It's like this! I heard you have medicine here...right? Can you give me two more painkillers?"
"No more, the last one has been given to you."
Li Xueyu, "Don't you know what painkillers are? Can you show me the box of medicine you have?"
Taotao and Shi Yuxi, who were hiding behind the door, exchanged glances.
Shi Yuxi gave Taotao a thumbs up.
Tao Tao said loudly, "I bought the medicine with my own money. I know how many pills I bought! Comrade, please leave quickly! I have to do the experiment too."
Li Xueyu was anxious, "Wait! There's more! I have something else to do...Um, I saw some noodles drying in your yard just now, can you give us some?"
Taotao, "Didn't the production team leader give you anything to eat?"
Li Xueyu's tone was a little anxious. "The pancakes they gave me were dry, hard and cold. I couldn't eat them at all... Comrade, can you open the door and let's talk face to face? We are both lesbians. I hope you can understand me!"
Tao Tao, "I'm sorry, our research station has run out of food, and those noodles are our last rations."
Li Xueyu, "Then I'll trade you the pancakes, okay?"
"No!" Taotao refused flatly.
Shi Yuxi and Deng Gaoyun inside the door looked at each other, then turned to look at Taotao, with surprise and approval in their eyes.
Shi Yuxi: Junior sister, you are really good at judging people!
Deng Gaoyun: Junior sister has foresight!
Li Xueyu outside the door probably didn't expect Taotao to be so difficult to talk to.
She shouted anxiously: "Then, can you give me some of the candies you gave to the captain? I, I'm really not feeling well... Please, for the sake of the fact that we are all lesbians..."
"No! They've all been given away!" Taotao continued.
Li Xueyu, who was locked outside the door, was so angry!
It was the first time she felt so unwelcome.
why is that……
Is it because the woman just now (Bai Taotao) was jealous of her good looks?
Li Xueyu was so angry that she was gasping for breath.
Qi Jiajun, who was accompanying her, was shivering from the cold. "Xueyu, since they don't agree... let's go back quickly!"
Li Xueyu was so angry that she slammed the door of the research station. "Hey, what's wrong with you, comrade? Are there other comrades in your unit? Ask him to come out and talk to me! We are all state agencies, why can't we help each other when we are on business trips? If there is no one else in your unit, tell me your name and I will talk to your leader!"
Taotao inside the door ignored him completely.
Qi Jiajun outside the door tried desperately to persuade Li Xueyu, "Xueyu, forget it, let's go back..."
After a long while, Taotao and her senior brothers and sisters no longer heard any noise outside, and they were sure that Li Xueyu and Qi Jiajun were really gone.
Shi Yuxi was timid and asked Taotao nervously, "She won't really go and complain, will she?"
Tao Tao sneered, "Who can she complain to? She may not even know which unit I work for! Besides, what is she complaining to? Because I didn't give her noodles? Didn't I give her painkillers? Or didn't I give her candy?"
Deng Gaoyun also comforted Shi Yuxi, saying, "Don't worry, she has no reason to criticize our position. She was rescued by the production team, and the production team also settled her. She is a person in distress, so what right does she have to make decisions?"
"This person is really good at putting accusations on others! We have to thank Taotao for being smart and alert, and for keeping this person out. Otherwise, if she really moved in here, we would be so annoyed!"
Shi Yuxi nodded, "It would be best if the weather gets better soon so that these people can leave!"
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "Sister, just in case, let's eat the noodles today. The leftovers should be put away in the back. Also, all our food and daily necessities should be stored away. We're afraid that this heavy snow won't stop for three to five days, and that Li Xueyu might find another way to break into our place... I won't be happy about it no matter what she takes away."
Shi Yuxi, "Then we'll all eat instant noodles tonight and tomorrow morning!"
Deng Gaoyun, "I will go and tidy up the warehouse, move the stored food and daily necessities to the base of the wall, and then move the fertilizer and firewood to the front, so as to cover up all the food and daily necessities!"
At this moment, the three of them acted separately.
At dinner time, the three adults and one snack were served steaming delicious egg and sesame oil noodles, each sizzling louder than the other.
When it was almost time to go to bed at night, Jiang Hongzhi brought a few people over and opened the door of the research station.
He looked solemn, and said to Tao Tao: "...Do you have any medicine? The two wounded soldiers of the oil exploration team, the younger one, Mr. Qin, has a fever and is talking nonsense. Comrade Huang Youming, who was injured, was originally conscious and not seriously ill, but now he has a high fever..."
Tao Tao thought for a moment and said, "Brother, wait a minute. I'll go get the medicine box and go with you to take a look."
Jiang Hongzhi nodded.
Taotao went into the inner room, took out some medicine from the medicine box and put it away. Then he entrusted his son to Shi Yuxi and left with Jiang Hongzhi.
Walking on the fluffy snow at night, Taotao was not tall and thin, but after walking about ten steps, she fell behind.
The snow was so deep that she stepped on it and it was difficult to pull her legs out...
Jiang Hongzhi looked back at her for a while, and told a strong man in his fifties, "Uncle Tang, go and carry Comrade Bai!" Then he explained to Taotao, "It's okay, let Uncle Tang carry you! He already has a grandson..."
Taotao understood what Jiang Hongzhi meant and did not object.
So Uncle Tang carried Taotao on his back, and everyone hurried to the production team's warehouse.
The situation in the warehouse was similar to what Taotao had imagined.
The conditions of a temporary residence would definitely not be very good, but considering Jiang Hongzhi's thoughtfulness, it would certainly not be too bad.
——There were seven bunks lined up in a row in the warehouse. The most "luxurious" one had a door panel underneath, on which was covered hay and bedding. The other bunks were relatively shabby, with no doors, only thick firewood and hay, and bedding on top.
Everyone was gathered around the two bunks, anxiously looking at the two unconscious men.
Taotao passed by.
The older injured man had a flushed face and closed eyes, and he murmured, "I... I'm sorry to the country, I'm sorry to the party... I, I didn't lead the team well... I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Taotao took out the thermometer and handed it to Jiang Hongzhi.
Jiang Hongzhi asked someone to undress the old man and take his temperature.
Taotao asked Jiang Hongzhi how he gave the old man the medicine.
The two discussed for a while...
Taotao recalled that Guan Qingbai broke his leg and had a quarrel with Fang Ling, and finally had a high fever... It seemed that the way the nurses took care of him was to feed him plenty of water and use alcohol to physically reduce his temperature.
So she told Jiang Hongzhi these two methods, and pretended to grab the old man's wrist and passed a little bit of spiritual power to him.
Soon, the old man stopped talking nonsense, and although his body temperature had not yet dropped, his breathing had gradually stabilized.
Taotao went to see the injured young man again.
As soon as she saw the man, she felt something was wrong and quickly said to Jiang Hongzhi, "He must have other injuries on his body. Quickly take off his clothes and check him thoroughly!" After saying that, she moved aside.
Jiang Hongzhi quickly asked someone to bring the charcoal basin over, and arranged for two big men to take off the injured person's clothes.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp!
It turned out that the injured person had an obvious fracture at the elbow, the broken bones pierced the skin, and a lot of blood was flowing!
Jiang Hongzhi took people to check the injured person's body and confirmed that this was the most serious injury. He quickly asked someone to dress the injured person, leaving only this arm exposed, and called Taotao to come and see.
Such an injury!
Taotao was a little hesitant. She could treat such injuries. After all, she had been in the fairy world in her previous life, where she had often participated in various competitions and training, and it was also common for her to get injured and need treatment.
The problem is, if she really cured this person, how would she explain it later?

So she told Jiang Hongzhi, "Brother, I need a pot of boiling water, a clean knife, and a clean cloth... You will be my assistant. I have to use a knife to cut open his arm and take out the broken bones. Also, here are the painkillers. Feed them to him first."
Jiang Hongzhi hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Can you perform surgery?"
Tao Tao said vaguely: "I have done it before."
It's not really a lie.
After a pause, Tao Tao continued to explain: "Look at the wound on his arm... It's already blue and purple, and here... It's already white and rotten! This proves that he has been injured for a long time. If we don't remove the rotten flesh and broken bones, he will die!"
Jiang Hongzhi was surprised.
The oil exploration team members quickly said to Tao Tao: "Comrade, you are right! Comrade Huang Youming has been injured for several days. We have asked him several times, and he said that he is fine and has recovered. I didn't expect his injuries to be so serious... Please save him, he is only 25 years old!"
Jiang Hongzhi no longer hesitates
