"Oh, by the way, can I borrow the Jeep? I'm going out for a bit!"

"You're leaving the city?"

"What are you thinking? Why would I leave the city? It's getting cold, isn't it? I'll see if I have any wine. I'm going to buy some, since the weather might get even colder. Having some wine means I can have a drink or two."

"Fine!"

Song Wen didn't think much of it and tossed the car keys over, casually saying, "Be careful when you go out. Although the checks aren't very strict now, you'll definitely run into trouble."

"By the way, is martial law going to be in effect starting tomorrow morning?"

'Why is martial law being declared again? Are ordinary people supposed to live like this?'

"It's not here, it's along the railway line. We need to send troops here to enforce martial law to prevent anyone from coming and causing trouble."

"Martial law is being imposed along the train line? What's going on? Why would they impose such a curfew? Isn't this just creating trouble for no reason?"

Upon hearing this, he immediately became dissatisfied.

But there's nothing that can be done. After all, that's how trains are. The Japanese manage the trains now, and everything is decided by the Japanese.

"That's it, I know!"

After receiving the keys, he drove straight to Cuiyunlou Restaurant, since he had ordered 100 yuan worth of food there. Although it included rice and dishes, 100 yuan would probably be enough to cook quite a lot.

As for bowls and chopsticks, hundreds of sets were prepared.

When he arrived at Cuiyun Tower, he saw Liu Yan sitting at the entrance waiting for him.

Seeing him come over, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Boss Liu, just load it into the car, I'll deliver it over in a bit."

"Do you need me to arrange for someone to deliver it?"

"No need, I'll take care of everything, don't worry."

He just smiled and watched the waiter load the food onto the truck. It cost 100 silver dollars, and it would take several trips just to deliver it.

An hour later, he saw the last bowls and chopsticks placed on the car, and he smiled with satisfaction.

"Goodbye, Mr. Liu!"

"You're welcome!" I drove off back home, having already been out for over an hour.

The food alone filled ten huge wooden barrels, including two barrels of rice, all completely full.

Not only that, but also a large number of bowls and chopsticks. It is estimated that at least 30% of the bowls and chopsticks in the entire restaurant were given to him.

There were ten dishes, but the portions were definitely generous. It would probably take Zhang Tianhao a month to finish them all.

Now that he has so much food, he will definitely not have to worry about not having anything to eat for a long time to come.

……

"Boss, I'm exhausted today! Ten dishes, all packed into huge buckets!"

The chef looked at Liu Yan standing at the door, sighed, and stood there gently patting his back. After all, he had been cooking from afternoon until evening to finish all the dishes, and there was no time to entertain outsiders.

"Yes, boss, we basically didn't make any money this time, you could even say we lost money."

"Alright, this matter is far more complicated than you think. Alright, this is the end of it. Otherwise, do you think I would do this? Who would do something that loses money? Do you think I'm stupid?"

"Boss, isn't he just a doctor?"

"Get lost. Stop spouting nonsense and do your own thing, understand?"

"Yes!"

Watching the chef leave, Liu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, then a bitter smile appeared on her face.

Although the deal seems to have been completed, only she knows how difficult it is to resolve the personal favor involved.

Moreover, this is no longer just a favor from one person; it's a favor owed to two people, both of whom saved my life!
Looking at the light snow falling from the sky, Liu Yan didn't have much of a mind to think about anymore. After all, things had come to this point and she could only take it one step at a time.

"Maybe I should go to the fields in Hefei tomorrow. Maybe they'll have what I need, especially a pharmacy."

She knew that going to Hefei was feasible, but buying the medicine would be difficult.

Below the small hill in the east of the city.

Seeing that the cart was already full of dry firewood, and there were two large bundles of firewood at the back, he finally smiled.

This time, hauling a batch of firewood back in a jeep was much easier.

As for firewood at home, it's already running low. Once it snows heavily, there won't even be any firewood left to burn.

So, taking advantage of this harvest, he came here to chop a lot of firewood to take home and use slowly.

Whether it was because Wang Ma forgot or deliberately ignored it, the firewood in the house would only last for two days at most.

As for burning charcoal, that was just a thought; no charcoal was ever delivered.

After tying it up, he gently pulled on the two ropes, then contentedly pulled the cart home.

Actually, there's no need to think too much; there's even more firewood in his space, almost piled up like a mountain.

But it's different here; at least openly, there's still a large amount of firewood stored at home for burning.

He really put in a lot of effort to collect a large amount of firewood.

After all, transporting the firewood back was hard work.

Once again, he hauled a large amount of firewood back home and saw Song Wen come out after hearing the car.

"Hey, why did you look for so much firewood? Don't we have some at home?"

"It's so cold. If it gets any colder, we won't have enough fuel at home, so I cut some down. I estimate it will last for about half a month!"

"Hmm, if we're careful, it can last for half a month!"

Wang Ma smiled, clearly quite satisfied with Zhang Tianhao's appearance, at least he knew some things about the family.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, you're running low on food, aren't you? Go buy some more tomorrow, and have it delivered. Store it away; who knows when winter will come and it'll get cold, snow, and the roads will be difficult to travel on."

"Yes, son-in-law!"

"Here's three hundred yuan. You can use it to buy some grain!"

"Son-in-law, isn't this a bit too much?"

"Not much, let's buy it all. But it's only about a hundred catties of grain at most. With so many people in the family, who will get enough to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ma realized it made sense, so she stopped talking and went straight to the kitchen.

Zhang Tianhao immediately carried the firewood and dry branches into the yard, and then saw that on the open ground to the side, there was a pile of firewood and branches, two or three meters high, like a small mountain.

"So many?"

"The truck was full just now, and this is still not enough. If you want more, it would be better to use a truck to haul the goods."

"Okay!"

After tidying up, he washed his hands in the kitchen and sat down to eat dinner with satisfaction.

"By the way, Xiaowen, I'm planning to go to Hefei tomorrow. After all, the hospital doesn't have any medicine. I'm going to have some fun for a few days and see if there's a better way out!"

"You're going to Hefei, who are you going with?"

"Oh, some nurses from our hospital are going to Hefei for fun. I heard about it and decided to go check it out. Otherwise, I think my body would be rusting up at home."

"It's not really appropriate for you to go with a few nurses!"

Song Wen's face darkened instantly; Zhang Tianhao clearly hadn't expected Song Wen to react so strongly today.

“I wasn’t with them. I heard them going, so I decided to go over there and buy some things for my family.”

"Hmph, you don't actually want to go fooling around with them, do you?"

"Is that possible?" (End of Chapter)
