Bi Qiao’an lay motionless in the icy snow, watching helplessly as the falling flakes slowly buried her. As her consciousness faded, her mind drifted back to the three arduous years she had spent ...
Chapter 1116 The Fifty-Year-Old Old Man
Chen Yanming put a bunch of fruits, meat and eggs into the space ring, ready to feed everyone tomorrow night.
Then he took care of the herbs in the medicine garden and the flowers in the flower bed for a while until he was tired and then closed his eyes and went to sleep.
The two people in the space didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. They stayed together for a while before putting on their clothes and wandering around the space.
"Let's bring the child in. It wouldn't be good for just the two of us to enjoy ourselves here," Bi Qiaoan said, pinching Shen Yanming's arm.
Chen Yanming smiled and nodded, wrapped An An Nuan Nuan who was reading on the sofa with his consciousness, and brought them into the space.
Facing the sudden change in the environment, the two babies adapted well. After saying hello to Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, they went out to play.
Ah, I haven't been here for half a year. I miss Brother Goose so much! And I haven't ridden the horses on the grassland for a long time.
The couple ignored An An and Nuan Nuan and started discussing dinner.
"Cooking is too troublesome, so let's just have hot pot. The vegetables grown in the space are easy to wash, just rinse them with water. The meat is also ready."
"That's fine. We just came back from the Imperial Capital, so they won't suspect anything. Cut the fruit into pieces and make a fruit plate so that everyone can enjoy it."
As he spoke, he used his consciousness to fetch a bunch of fresh vegetables from the storage area and took them to the kitchen to wash and cut them into pieces.
Then he took another piece of mutton and started slicing it with a kitchen knife.
As for the ones I stockpiled before the end of the world, I'd better not release them. They are too thin and curled, and you can tell at a glance that they were cut by a machine.
Although Shen Yanming's knife skills are good, the lamb slices he cuts are still quite thick, about two millimeters thick, and quite substantial.
"That's it. With the blessing of space, they can cook more and the taste should not be bad."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and started to remove the shrimp threads from the prawns.
There are so many harvests in the space, but I haven't processed them yet. I can't wait for the guests to come and be in a hurry.
The two also prepared some palm-sized fish with few bones, which would be cooked after boiling them in the pot for a while.
"Look, what's missing?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Shen Yanming glanced at the things filling the operating table and felt that it was about right.
"Just take out whatever you think of. Anyway, we have the storage ring to cover it, so we can finally use this space."
"That's fine!"
Bi Qiaoan put the basins and bowls on the table into the storage ring. After cleaning up the kitchen with Shen Yanming, they left the space.
The couple has to go meet some friends and invite them over.
Go to Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong first.
The two heard yesterday that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had returned, but when it was dark, they still didn't see anyone.
Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile, "They just came back, they must rest. Let's go to sleep first, they will definitely come tomorrow."
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong then sat down, washed up and went to sleep. However, they tossed and turned all night and could not fall asleep.
The next day, they went to the company to ask for leave. Because the news of the Shen family's return had spread, the leader readily approved the leave for the two of them.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knocked on the door, Zhang Heping rushed out without even putting on his shoes.
As soon as the door opened and he saw the still handsome Shen Yanming, he cried out.
"Hey, Old Shen, why did you take so long? Didn't you say you would only be gone for a month? I thought you wouldn't be coming back."
"Old Shen, why are you so thin? Didn't you eat well outside? If you live in my house, I will cook for you and make sure you become plump and white!"
Chen Yanming looked at the person hanging on him speechlessly, then turned to look at Bi Qiaoan, only to see her covering her mouth and laughing softly, with a playful look on her face.
"Okay, okay, I'm up. I'm fine, I haven't lost any weight, and I look younger."
Shen Yanming was deliberately trying to stir up hatred because he was in his forties, almost like he was thirty.
Even though he often supports his two good brothers, their faces and bodies show signs of aging.
When Zhang Heping heard this, he couldn't cry anymore.
Just think about it, I am an old man who is almost fifty years old, and I am actually hanging on Old Shen and crying. It is so embarrassing.
Little Pidan next to Li Wanwan looked at his father with a dull expression, his jaw almost dropped.
Li Wanwan calmly reached out and touched her son's chin, and said, "Your dad is like this, sometimes he is childish."
Little Pidan nodded: "Not as steady as me."
When Xiao Dousha, who was standing next to her, heard this, she lay on Qin Yiren and burst into laughter.
Qin Yiren touched her daughter's head lovingly and whispered, "Save some face for your Uncle Heping!"
Xiao Dousha turned her face away and held it in for a long time before she calmed down. Then she smiled and greeted Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan, and An An Nuan Nuan.
The couple smiled and pinched Xiao Dousha's face, then took out a bunch of delicious food from the space ring: "Here, give our little cutie a gift."
Xiao Dousha didn't hesitate and took it with a smile. Then he opened the package and enjoyed a bite of dried meat and a bite of dried fruit.
Seeing this, Xiao Pidan's eyes were jealous. He asked with a smile: "Uncle Yanming, Aunt Qiaoan, we can't favor one over the other!"
Bi Qiaoan lay on Shen Yanming's shoulder and was overjoyed. With a wave of his hand, a similar copy appeared on the ground.
Little Pidan quickly hugged him in his arms, laughing so hard that his saliva was dripping.
Li Wanwan covered her face, feeling unable to bear the sight, and thought that her silly son was exactly like his father.
"Old Shen, come and sit down! Tell us how you are doing in Dijing?" Ji Kangyong pulled Shen Yanming's arm and sat on the sofa.
Qin Yiren also came over and took Bi Qiaoan's arm.
After Xiao Pidan prepared everything, he came over to invite An An and Nuan Nuan.
He called her brother and sister in a sweet voice, making An An and Nuan Nuan almost bent over with laughter.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan sat down and saw the six people in front of them looking at them with sparkling eyes.
The couple rubbed their heads, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well, come to my house for dinner tonight and we'll talk about it then." It saves the trouble of going to each house and explaining it again.
"Do you know the address?"
The six people nodded in unison.
"Then come on time at six o'clock in the evening, and we'll eat hot pot."
"Okay, don't worry, we can definitely run faster than anyone else!"
Shen Yanming smiled: "Okay, then we'll go back first."
"Hey, come on, Old Shen, tell me, is the Imperial Capital good? How come you look younger and younger?"
Shen Yanming touched his face and said with a smile: "You have families to support, what do you need to be young for?"
"Ah, you old man, it's easy for you to talk without any pain in your waist. I wonder if it's not because you have a head full of white hair!"
Chen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "I got some good luck in the Imperial Capital, and now my physical fitness is very good."
"What opportunity?" Zhang Heping asked curiously.
Shen Yanming shook his head: "It cannot be said, it cannot be said, when the time comes, you will know."
"Hey, you mean..."
