In the afternoon, Ning Zhi was called to a meeting again, but this time it was the preparation work for another project. Professor Lin Qiuxin called her over just to watch and gain some experience.

Ning Zhi left the 505 Research Institute a little later and went straight to the Yanjing Military Region General Hospital. Today was also the day for Ning Muqi's review.

When Ning Zhi arrived, she saw the attending doctor coming over with the examination report, "Doctor, how are you doing?"

"Recovering well, in every aspect."

After receiving the doctor's reply, Ning Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Pushing Ning Muqi's wheelchair, Ning Zhi took him out of the hospital, only to find that the originally sunny sky had become gloomy again, and it looked like it was going to snow heavily.

Ning Muqi looked back at her, "Send you back to school first?"

"What are you thinking about?" Ning Zhi directly rejected his words, "Of course I will send you home first. It won't snow for a while, so there is no shortage of time."

"Isn't this because I'm afraid you'll be stuck on the road due to heavy snow?"

Ning Zhi ignored him and flagged down the taxi. With the help of the driver, she helped Ning Muqi sit in, while she folded the wheelchair and put it in the trunk.

It took about an hour and a half to go home from the Military Region General Hospital, but there was a traffic jam on the road, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. When they finally arrived at the gate of the community, the heavy goose feather snow floating in the air had blocked their view. It was worse than this year's The first snowfall was even heavier.

Ning Zhi looked at Ning Muqi speechlessly and pushed him into the community, "Brother, why don't you stop talking next time. Good things don't work but bad things don't work."

Ning Muqi said that he was innocent, he just said it casually, who knew it would come true.

Unable to go back to school, Ning Zhi could only call Ye Xinran and ask her to ask for leave.

"Neither you nor Wu Rui can come back." Ye Xinran was very sad.

"It's snowing too much. I don't know if I can go back tomorrow." Ning Zhi sighed.

Ning Muqi's words came true before, but Ning Zhi's own words also came true.

The heavy snow had lasted all night. When Ning Zhi got up the next morning and opened the curtains, she found that it was still snowing outside, as if it would never end.

Because of heavy snow and road closures, Ning Baiquan and Ning Danyue didn't come back yesterday. It looks like it will be the same today.

Ning Zhi yawned and went to the kitchen, planning to make a simple breakfast when Ning Muqi came out of the bedroom and shook his phone at her.

"How many things are left in the refrigerator? I just saw the news about the city's shutdown of work and classes. It is estimated that it will take three days to resume."

There was a heavy nasal sound in his voice, probably from the cold yesterday.

Ning Zhi paused while holding the pot, then turned around and opened the refrigerator to do a rough inventory. "It's about three days. There are a few bags of quick-frozen dumplings and steamed buns down there, including rice, flour, and oil. It's no problem."

After breakfast, Ning Muqi went to the study room, while Ning Zhi snuggled into the sofa with her tablet in hand, reading the paper quietly.

The heavy snow gradually stopped at around seven o'clock in the evening, but the yard was already full of snow. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room on the first floor, Ning Zhi calculated that when she stepped on it, it would probably reach her knees. s position.

Ning Muqi turned the wheelchair behind her, a little worried, "There is no snow removal equipment at home, and the property management team probably won't be able to take care of it in a short time. What should I do?"

"How about I get a basin to clean it up?" Ning Zhi said hesitantly, otherwise she wouldn't be able to think of anything else.

"Probably, it's not possible." Ning Muqi also hesitated.

The two children who grew up in the south couldn't help but feel a little melancholy when facing the snow in the yard.

But this melancholy didn't last long, and Ning Baiquan called, "Mr. Xu next door said that he has a shovel at home, and he will come over to help you when he shovels a road tomorrow." Ning Zhi and Ning Muqi looked at each other. One glance was full of surprises.

Mr. Xu?
Ning Zhi thought about it carefully, then suddenly clapped her hands and remembered!
"It's the new neighbor I met at the door when Uncle Quan asked someone to come back to pick up things last time. He even gave me the candy he bought for his daughter."

"It was him. Later, Mr. Xu came to visit us at home and we left each other's contact information," Ning Baiquan said with a smile.

Ning Muqi was a little curious, "How could that Mr. Xu think of helping us clean up the snow?"

Ning Zhi touched her nose and said, "I probably know that Mr. Xu is from the same place as my roommate. Most of the people there are very welcoming."

"But now we really have to wait for others to help." Ning Muqi was a little helpless. If he was still in good health, he and his sister might be able to clear a path with a basin, but now, that's not possible. .

Ning Zhi nodded. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a new call coming in.

It's Fu Qian.

"are you at home?"

Ning Zhi responded, "Don't worry, everything is enough. Just clear the snow in the next two days."

"Do you need help?"

"No, the neighbor next door said he would come to help."

Hearing her words, Fu Qian was slightly relieved, "Is it just you?"

"That's not true, my brother is here too."

When Ning Muqi heard her mentioning him, he immediately looked up. The caller who called at this time, and his sister's tone, must be Fu Qian.

He clicked his tongue and moved the wheelchair back so that he could wait for Ning Zhi to finish the call.

Ning Zhi saw a hint of helplessness in his eyes. After saying a few words to Fu Qian, she hung up the phone and looked back at him, "What?"

"I heard that you often went to Fu Qian's research institute to help out a while ago?"

"You are quite well-informed." Ning Zhi imitated his example and raised her eyebrows, then smiled, "It doesn't count as help. We have now joined the project team. Fu Qian said that according to the salary and benefits of regular employees, The treatment comes.”

Ning Muqi was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Fu Qianqian to come up with such a plan. He almost thought that Fu Qian was going to use his sister's labor for nothing.

Ning Zhi patted his shoulder seriously, "Brother, you have to believe that your sister is not that kind of fool. Even if she doesn't get paid, it's good to gain experience."

"Then I hope you won't be an idiot in the future."

"I thank you."

At around ten o'clock the next morning, Ning Zhi was busy in the kitchen. She planned to make some snacks for Mr. Xu's daughter as payment.

The doorbell rang. Ning Zhi wiped her hands and walked quickly to the door. She saw Mr. Xu, whom she had met once, waving in the direction of the camera outside.

Ning Zhi quickly put on her down jacket and walked out. Mr. Xu outside the door said loudly: "Girl, you go in first, I will throw a shovel in for you, and we will clean up the middle together."

Behind Mr. Xu stood his wife and seven or eight-year-old daughter, who also smiled and waved to Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi responded and closed the door. After Mr. Xu threw the shovel in like a javelin, she reopened the door and pulled out the half-remaining shovel from the snowdrift.
