Chapter 360: Chapter 353: The Good Things Left Behind
With the formal outbreak of SARS, Tang Zhinian in Li Tang Village was also breaking out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, he had found an excuse to postpone the project for half a year. Otherwise, once the project started, a lot of money would be poured into it, and now with the outbreak of the epidemic, the project would have to stop even if it had started.
Considering the financial losses and the safety of the workers, it was a big relief.
He dug out a bag of medicine that Yuxin had hidden at the base of a tree.
Chengcheng wobbled over and climbed onto his father’s back.
“Sister gave it to me, this is mine.”
“Dad knows, this is for you,” Tang Zhinian quickly embraced his son with one arm and picked up the medicine.
He sat Chengcheng down, then went to Yuxin’s room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a bunch of bottles of disinfectant in her cupboard.
When Ren Li came back, she gave Chengcheng a big kiss, then couldn’t help complaining, all the disinfectants were sold out, there were none in the supermarket. Not to mention the sales department outside, there must be some at home. Their child was so small, what would they do if he caught the virus?
Ren Li loved Little Fatty who was only about two years old. He was her life. She was nearly 40 when she had him, a son she had longed for all her life. If anything happened, she would throw herself into the river.
No matter what, hygiene at home had to be maintained. Adults might not mind, having their natural immunity. But Chengcheng was too small. Although he usually didn’t get sick, it was very dangerous now with SARS epidemic.
“Don’t worry, we have disinfectants in the house,” Tang Zhinian hurriedly comforted Ren Li, whose face was as wrinkled as a bun.
“Do we??” Ren Li, who certainly knew better, was unhappy, “Who in the village would have disinfectants at home?”
“Yuxin bought a lot,” Tang Zhinian opened the door for her to see inside. Upon seeing hundreds of bottles of disinfectant, she was stunned.
When did that girl prepare so much?
“And this,” Tang Zhinian picked up the medicine bag in his hand, “This is what Yuxin buried under the tree before New Year.”
“She said it can be boiled and drunk, or used to fumigate the house like vinegar. She told Chengcheng to stay home.”
Ren Li quickly grabbed the big bag of medicine and held it in her arms as if it were a treasure. Having a daughter was really a good thing. How did Yuxin know?
Was this some form of foreseeing the future?
Tang Zhinian sat down, pulled Chengcheng into his lap, and said, “You forget what she studied. They probably have knowledge of such things. They just took precautions, without imagining that it would really happen…”
Today has indeed been a day of disaster.
Thinking of his daughter, Tang Zhinian couldn’t help but feel pain and helplessness. Beijing had become a major epidemic area. Even if he wanted to go there, Yuxin wouldn’t let him. What if he did go? Wouldn’t that only worry her more? Besides adding to her concerns, he should stay quietly at home.
He has to take care of his little son.
He lifted his son and saw the little guy was still chubby and extremely cute, which lightened his mood a bit.
“Are you sure it’s here?” Ting Yuan asked Lin Yile.
“Yes, I’ve been here once before, it’s definitely here.”
“Yuxin’s family really is rich,” Ting Yuan knew the price of these old-style courtyards were not cheap, people in the dorm had been here, sadly she hadn’t, so she was amazed when she saw it.
“They bought it a long time ago, it didn’t cost much. But it was all his dad, Tang Zhinian, could afford at the time.”
Lin Yile didn’t know how much it cost, but irrespective of the money, Tang Zhinian was an indisputably good father.
This is the place. Lin Yile looked at the house number, took out a key from her pocket to open the door, and heard the sound of the lock clicking open.
Thankfully, Lin Yile sighed a relief. If she couldn’t find it, it would be impossible for her to find it again. Yuxin was now in the quarantine area and could not come out.
However, Lin Yile really felt that Yuxin was too bold, going wherever it was most dangerous.
Once they were inside, Lin Yile started counting. One, two, three, four, it was this room. She went in, opened the door, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw box after box of disinfectant.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
“Let’s go, we’ll carry one box back first and come back again later.”
With the school about to be closed, the small shop inside the school no longer had any disinfectants, and even the big, medium, and small supermarkets outside were out of stock. Fortunately, Yuxin told her that she had stored some here, otherwise, they really wouldn’t know what to do?
A few of them moved the disinfectants here. There were about three hundred or four hundred bottles in total, but even with these, it was not enough, and no one knew how long this SARS epidemic would last.
Perhaps it was because of psychological reasons, having so many disinfectants in their dormitory gave them some confidence, and they weren’t afraid to use them.
However, once the school was officially closed, there was no more disinfectant to buy. Disinfectants were sold out, and you couldn’t buy them even if you wanted to.
Later, someone somehow spread the word that Lin Yile’s dormitory had disinfectant, so people came to buy it. Lin Yile and the others didn’t try to make profit from the disaster by overcharging for it, they sold it at a fair price. They didn’t really want to sell it at first. They had hundreds of bottles, but what if they ran out of disinfectant? Then they wouldn’t have enough.
Then they called Yuxin. After all, it was Yuxin who had prepared it, and she could decide what to do with it. If Yuxin said to sell it, they would sell it. If she didn’t want to sell it, they wouldn’t sell it.
Yuxin told them that it was just for emergencies. After a while, the price of these things would stabilize. The state wouldn’t allow these things to inflate. If people really needed it, they should give it to them. Whether they sold it or not didn’t matter. It was only a matter of a dollar or so. She could afford it.
Meanwhile, Yuxin was already working with Dean Tao and Senior Shi Yuan in the biggest hospital in Beijing. She was dressed in a white coat, just like in a previous life. Now, she was not like a second-year student, she walked in the hospital, she looked like an experienced doctor who had been working for over a decade.
