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 281: Treat Your Home as a Hotel and Bathhouse
"Fungus scrambled eggs, eat first!"
Shen Yanming brought out a plate of scrambled eggs with black fungus and two cornmeal buns from the kitchen and placed them in front of Zhang Heping.
Zhang Heping went up to smell it and said, "Oh, it smells really good. Old Shen, you are really fast!"
"It's because we're having black fungus for dinner, and we have some soaked black fungus, so we can save some time. You can eat it quickly. There's also a plate of mushrooms and rapeseed, which will be ready in about ten minutes."
"No meat?" Zhang Heping looked at Shen Yanming eagerly, his tone full of disappointment.
Chen Yanming patted Zhang Heping on the forehead and said, "What are you thinking about? Didn't I tell you last time that the power went out and all the meat was made into jerky? What is that in your hand? It's not meat."
"That's not what I meant. I thought you had some way of getting fresh pork and fish, and I was hoping to have a good meal at your house."
Shen Yanming rolled his eyes at Zhang Heping and said coldly, "I'm not as capable as you say. I still have to go to the supermarket to buy limited meat. It's not enough for Qiao An and I to eat. As for you, you have no share!"
“No, no, no, please, brother, I beg you, if you find a way, you must count me in, okay?” Zhang Heping quickly stood up and bowed to Shen Yanming.
"Eat your meal. Do you think it's easy to find a way? It depends on luck. You have to wait until you find a way before you can do anything." Shen Yanming said and went into the kitchen.
Zhang Heping didn't mind, and shouted towards Shen Yanming's back: "It's okay, I know you and Qiao An have always had good luck, I'm waiting for your good news, hehe."
Then he grabbed the cornmeal bun in one hand and the fungus and egg in the other and ate them voraciously.
Bi Qiaoan glanced at Zhang Heping and said, "Even if we are looking for a way, it's not the right time. This winter, unless you are a special unit, Qinghua Country will have limited power supply. You know this, right?"
Zhang Heping raised his head, looked at Bi Qiaoan in confusion, and then shook his head, "I don't know, anyway, the hospital has 24-hour electricity supply."
"It's definitely different in hospitals, but it's not the same in other places. For example, our community, as well as where Yanming and I work, all have limited power supply. You see, in this situation, even if we find a way to buy meat, we can't keep it."
"refrigerator..."
"The power was on and off from time to time. We were afraid that the refrigerator would burn, so we unplugged it. Your refrigerator did the same thing. Didn't you notice?"
"No, I haven't even entered the house yet."
Bi Qiaoan was speechless. Did they treat her house as a restaurant?
"Then you should eat first and rest well before going home."
"Hmmmm."
Although Zhang Heping said a few words to Bi Qiaoan, it did not affect his eating speed at all. It only took him a few minutes to finish a plate of black fungus and eggs.
After finishing the meal, Zhang Heping continued to chew the dried meat to replenish his oil and water while looking forward to the next dish.
Soon, Shen Yanming came over with the mushrooms and rapeseed. Zhang Heping didn't hesitate to take it and started eating.
"Do you need steamed buns? I'll heat up a few more for you." Shen Yanming asked, looking at the half steamed bun in Zhang Heping's hand.
"No, no, I'm almost full. Just let me finish this dish." Zhang Heping shook his head.
Shen Yanming said no more and sat next to Bi Qiaoan to see what she was doing.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and shared with Shen Yanming the interesting things she saw on the Internet, as well as some ideas for next week's work.
They chatted for a while, and then Zhang Heping said he was full and wanted to take a shower.
"You won't go back to take a shower!"
"No, no, I want to take a shower here. I'm staying alone. It's so deserted, lonely and scary!" Zhang Heping looked so pretentious that Bi Qiaoan got goose bumps all over his body.
Shen Yanming couldn't stand it anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, it's still the old rules."
"Yeah!" Zhang Heping jumped three feet high and ran to the bathroom while shouting, "Brother Chen, I'm waiting for you!"
Shen Yanming was full of black lines on his head, while Bi Qiaoan was like, "Hahahahahahaha!"
Chen Yanming smiled helplessly, rubbed Bi Qiaoan's head, and said lovingly: "You really enjoy watching the fun. If it were anyone else, they would have already pinned Zhang Heping down and beat him up."
"That's because I know my husband is straight. He can't be conquered by his whining!" Bi Qiaoan said affectionately while hanging on Shen Yanming's neck.
"Yes, yes, only my Qiao An is my final destination." After kissing Bi Qiao An on the cheek, Shen Yanming said, "I'll go get him some clean clothes."
"Well, go ahead!" Bi Qiaoan kissed back, then let go of Shen Yanming and asked him to get some clean clothes for the Yingying monster.
As for the toiletries, Zhang Heping did not take them away after taking a bath at home last time. It seems that he was waiting for this day specifically. He really treated his home as a bathhouse.
However, Bi Qiaoan didn't care much about it. There were two bathrooms in her house. The one in the living room was not often used and it had a shower, so it was no big deal to let the guests take a shower.
In a few minutes, Shen Yanming came back with two sets of change of clothes.
After throwing one set to Zhang Heping, he put the other set in a cabinet in the living room.
"Huh? Why did you take so much?" Bi Qiaoan asked puzzledly.
"I was afraid that he would come to our house for free meals and baths next time, so I was too lazy to get him clothes, so I just got an extra set." Shen Yanming said.
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "That's really possible. I think he has already regarded our house as his own. It's just that we don't have an extra bed, otherwise he might just move in."
Shen Yanming chuckled, "Then should we be thankful that we took away the beds in the bedroom?"
"Hahaha, isn't he your good brother? Why do you dislike him so much?"
"My good brother, you can't disturb our world of two. With an outsider here, many things will be inconvenient. What's more, we both have secrets." Shen Yanming whispered in Bi Qiaoan's ear.
"Cheng Cheng Cheng, you are right." Bi Qiaoan blushed a little at the breath spraying on her ears, and quickly pushed the man next to her away.
Shen Yanming chuckled, “Besides, that old bachelor can’t understand the sweetness between husband and wife.”
"Look at what you said, you are awesome!"
Bi Qiaoan rolled her eyes, but Shen Yanming was a little moved by her cute appearance, so he hugged her and gave her a long kiss.
After the kiss, they heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop. Bi Qiaoan pushed the man away and ran back to the bedroom, closing the door.
"Oh, I'm shy!" Shen Yanming touched the corner of his lips, feeling very satisfied.
Then I looked towards the bathroom. Why hasn’t he come out yet?
