Snowstorm: I'm Super Rich in the Apocalypse-Chapter 383: A Little Sweetness in Life

To the hospital, we sent a larger portion since Chen Lang has been staying there with Chen Fengzhou during the day for the past few days. He was worried Chen Fengzhou might get depressed, so we also prepared a share for Chen Lang. We brought some extra to improve the meals for Wang Lijuan and Qin Qianqian as well.

Chen Lang has mostly been there during the day, while several men take turns to help Wang Lijuan at night. Since it’s mostly just sleeping, unless Chen Fengzhou needs to get up at night. Since Wang Lijuan and Qin Qianqian are both women, it’s not convenient for some things, and men are stronger. After all, it’s really hard for a woman to lift someone who has had both legs amputated. Qin Jun is overwhelmed with work and sometimes has to work overtime, so he can’t go there every day.

Thankfully, Gu Pan and their group have many people. Otherwise, a regular family wouldn’t be able to handle it. Of course, if there were no family members to take care of patients, the hospital nurses would step in, but the quality of life just isn’t the same as having a family member there.

Tonight, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng are planning to go to the hospital and to let Wang Lijuan go home to rest. They would take care of things for the night there and bring these foods with them. fгeewebnovёl.com

They also made a non-spicy hotpot and brought a portion for the hospital.

They always make extra of whatever they do on this side, frying several pots of skewers and also making a sufficient amount of hotpot, even adding homemade sweet potato noodles.

After eating, Cheng Yang and the others cleaned up, and Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng took the food to the hospital.

Packing everything into two thermal boxes, they first headed to Lu Jianguo’s office.

Upon entering, Vice Base Chief Wang and Li Shukang were there with their secretaries. They had just finished discussing official matters, the secretaries busy taking notes.

Seeing Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrive, Li Shukang seemed to smell something delicious and swiftly moved towards them, "Nephew, what good things have you brought us this time?"

Lu Ruisheng handed over the boxes to Li Shukang, "We made some snacks. We made plenty, so Uncle Li and Uncle Wang can try some too."

Deputy Base Commander Wang immediately closed the door, "We can’t let this smell drift out, or else in a while, the door might get knocked down."

Gu Pan looked at them amusingly. These people are not young, but they had a childlike sense of humor when off-duty.

She pulled out disposable bowls and chopsticks from her backpack for everyone to use when they ate the hotpot.

When Li Shukang took out the fried skewers, Deputy Base Commander Wang couldn’t help but swallow hard.

Lu Jianguo laughed, "Don’t be shy, everyone. Help yourselves to some food."

Deputy Base Commander Wang quickly grabbed a fried skewer to eat, "Shrimp balls, so fragrant. It’s like I haven’t had this taste in five or six years."

The two secretaries were initially reluctant, but now they couldn’t resist and also took a skewer each to eat.

Li Shukang was silent as he ate quickly. After downing two skewers, he quickly served himself some hotpot, "Hurry up, if someone else comes, we really won’t have enough even for a taste."

The others were not bashful either; everyone got some hotpot. They were all moderate, knowing it would be inappropriate to eat too much since it was a meal sent for Lu Jianguo by his son and daughter-in-law. But they had to taste it, otherwise, they might not get the chance again before they died.

At noon, the people in the room all enjoyed the fried skewers and hotpot, their faces were brimming with joy.

Lu Jianguo also ate quite a bit, looking at Lu Ruisheng and Gu Pan with a smile, "You two really can make anything, especially Panpan, your cooking skills are truly amazing."

Deputy Base Commander Wang continuously heaped praise, "I really should come to the Base Commander’s office more often. It improves the quality of life here."

His comments made everyone laugh.

At that moment, someone in the hallway smelled the aromas and knocked on the door. Lu Jianguo couldn’t not respond, so he had his secretaries open the door.

Seeing more and more people coming, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng quickly bid farewell to Lu Jianguo and stealthily left. After all, ensuring that Lu Jianguo had his fill was the extent of their responsibility; the rest was beyond their control.

When they left, Lu Jianguo’s office suddenly became crowded. Each person tried a mouthful of the spicy hot pot and skewers until nearly everyone had tasted them.

Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng arrived at the hospital. Now there were only two people in the ward. Those who had passed away were gone, and the ones who could be discharged had left since hospital resources were limited.

The other patient was a woman with an injured arm. She had lost her forearm but had survived on sheer willpower without antibiotics, which was no small feat.

Gu Pan served the woman a small bowl of non-spicy hot pot, essentially bone broth with vegetables, but it was rich in flavor and ingredients.

Then they all ate together.

Today, Qin Qianqian was here while Wang Lijuan had gone home to change clothes.

Gu Pan told Qin Qianqian that she and Lu Ruisheng would stay at the hospital tonight, and suggested Qin Qianqian go home for a while too.

Qin Qianqian didn’t stand on ceremony, "Then I’ll leave my sister and brother-in-law to take care of things tonight."

Gu Pan smiled and said there was no need for thanks.

Chen Fengzhou’s mental state was still not good; he was still thinking about Yang Jia.

In fact, no one wanted Yang Jia to leave, but there was no other solution now. They could only wait for a miracle. As long as she was still alive, there was hope, no matter how slim.

After the meal, Chen Lang and Qin Qianqian left together, while Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng stayed to take care of Chen Fengzhou.

Chen Fengzhou didn’t eat much because he was always worried about troubling others when going to the restroom.

Gu Pan took out a tablet from her bag that had movies on it and handed it to Chen Fengzhou to watch.

Chen Fengzhou took it, but his heart wasn’t really in it. He was still preoccupied with thoughts of Yang Jia.

But no one could really comfort him. Some things were understood by everyone; it was just that they couldn’t get over that barrier.

The next morning, Wang Lijuan came to replace Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng, who hadn’t gone back yet. Chen Lang also came as he was genuinely worried Chen Fengzhou might have a breakdown. Others didn’t know, but Chen Lang knew the struggle in his heart. He had his parents by his side back then, but Chen Fengzhou was closest to his aunt, which was different, so he wanted to spend more time with him.

After greeting them, Gu Pan and Lu Ruisheng went to check on Yang Jia, clinging to that faint hope for a miracle.

However, upon reaching the ICU, there was still no good news, and even the duty nurse told them that it would only be a matter of a couple of days.

This deeply saddened both of them.

At that moment, an argument between a couple nearby caught their attention.

The couple looked to be in their forties and were both very thin.

The woman was crying and pleading with the man, "He’s our only child, think of something else, please. If we take him home like this, it’s like letting him die."

The man took a deep breath, "I really can’t think of any other way. If it weren’t for the apocalypse, I could sell a kidney, but now, I’m utterly out of options. The hospital can’t perform surgery, what else can be done? Everyone in the ICU is just waiting to die."

The woman collapsed to the ground, "But Hanhan just has appendicitis, why does it have to end with him losing his life?"

The man, with his head in his hands, squatted down beside her, "Because it’s the apocalypse, because no one can fight against the apocalypse."
