They weren't initially interested in things girls liked, but once they tasted it, they realized they were completely wrong.

It really feels so good; it makes me feel like all the ailments in my body have disappeared.

As if he had taken a stimulant, Zhang Heping grabbed Shen Yanming and asked, "What is this? It's so amazing, it feels like a magic elixir!"

Shen Yanming was also surprised that his wife had only put a spiritual strawberry in it, and the effect was so good.

He picked up a cup of fruit tea and drank it all in one gulp. Aside from the better taste, he felt warm all over, but nothing else.

Although it's different from sunbathing, it's a warmth that comes from within. But to call it a miracle cure would be an exaggeration.

He frowned. "Really? It's just so-so!"

Zhang Heping disagreed and immediately launched into a long, rambling explanation. He finally concluded, "Old Shen, you're in Versailles."

Shen Yanming didn't notice anything and didn't argue with the other party. What he didn't know was that his own family members often drank the spiritual spring water, which was why they couldn't experience its tremendous effects. Zhang Heping and the others, who hadn't drunk it much before, were naturally amazed when they suddenly tasted the spiritual fruit.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Old Shen, how much do you have left? Share it with everyone!" Zhang Heping stretched out his hand without any hesitation.

Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan, wanting to ask his wife how much she had brought.

"That's all, that's it." Bi Qiaoan was also surprised, and took out a small glass bottle to show everyone. "If you want some, you can divide it yourselves?"

A 170g jam jar is so small, it's probably only enough for one or two batches if shared among several people.

Even so, they all regarded it as a treasure and happily divided the items up clearly.

Zhang Heping wanted to ask Shen Yanming where he bought it, but after hesitating for a few moments, he gave up.

What's the point of saying all this now? Even if we knew, we couldn't buy it.

He had no doubt about Shen Yanming at all, because when Old Shen was asked, he also looked surprised and had no idea about the magic of fruit tea.

Zhang Heping gave Shen Yanming a sympathetic look. "If your wife hadn't brought it out, you could have drunk it yourself. Now, we're the ones who benefited, hehehe!"

Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head, "The fact that I didn't notice it after keeping it at home for so long only means that we are destined to meet."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm lucky, I always run into good things!" Zhang Heping said smugly.

Li Zhaozhao didn't think too much about it. After all, health-preserving teas had always existed before the apocalypse, and some of them were indeed quite good.

Ji Kangyong, however, was quite astute. He always felt that the miraculous effect was related to the couple, but Shen Yanming's performance dispelled his doubts.

Then I realized how ridiculous I was. My buddy had a secret, and he'd known about it from the start. What's the point of digging now? Wouldn't it be better to just follow along and reap the benefits?

An'an and Nuannuan also hopped over to find their mother, looking at the orange-yellow fruit tea and saying, "I want to drink it!"

Bi Qiaoan took out the two babies' bottles, poured in a third of the tea, and reminded them, "Let it cool down before you drink it." Children and adults perceive temperature differently, so it's better to wait a little longer.

An'an nodded warmly and sat obediently beside her mother, occasionally reaching out to touch the bottle. Each time, she got burned, and her little hand recoiled at the slightest touch. She didn't seem to learn, repeating the process as if it were some kind of fun game.

Bi Qiaoan hugged the two babies and was about to spank them, but the little ones thought their mother was playing with them and giggled.

Bi Qiaoan said helplessly, "How can I possibly bring myself to do it?"

Zhang Heping egged them on: "Let Lao Shen go!"

Shen Yanming didn't mince words. He picked up the two children and scolded them, "Didn't Mommy and Daddy say you can't touch hot water? Why aren't you listening today? Since you like it so much, then hold them, but don't drop them."

Without a word, he shoved the bottles into the hands of the two babies. An'an and Nuannuan were burned and wanted to throw them away, but Shen Yanming was on guard against that, his large hand protecting them tightly. "If you throw them away, we won't have any more bottles. From now on, you'll have to use bowls to drink water and formula."

An'an and Nuannuan were frightened and dared not throw a tantrum anymore. However, their little mouths twitched, and their eyes welled up with tears, making them look extremely aggrieved.

Zhang Heping secretly regretted his loose tongue. Even Li Zhaozhao and Li Wanwan, who were standing nearby, glared at him angrily, somewhat resenting his meddling.

"Old Shen, how about we call it quits?" Zhang Heping suggested.

Shen Yanming shook his head. "If we don't teach them now, what if they don't take it seriously and start playing with boiling water? As parents, can we watch them 24/7? Don't worry, the temperature isn't hot enough to burn them. We're just trying to teach them a lesson."

Hearing Shen Yanming say this, Zhang Heping could only awkwardly shut up.

Suddenly, the sun was covered by dark clouds, a gust of wind blew, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

"Oh no, the weather's changed! Quick, pack your things, let's go home."

An'an and Nuannuan escaped punishment just like that, but the fruit tea they had been longing for for so long, which they hadn't even tasted yet, was put into the storage box.

Seeing the two little ones' pleading eyes, Shen Yanming had no choice but to soften his voice: "It's going to rain, let's go home and drink it then."

An'an nodded warmly, not fussing in her father's arms. The wind made it hard for them to open their eyes, so they squinted and buried their faces in Shen Yanming's shoulder.

The men packed up quickly, in just two minutes, all the tableware was in the storage box. The picnic blanket and moisture-proof mat were also rolled up and carried by Li Wanwan.

"Alright, let's hurry back, or we'll get soaked in the rain." Shen Yanming said, leading the group forward.

When they returned, most of the storage boxes were empty. Li Zhaozhao and Ji Kangyong each had one, and Zhang Heping didn't need to help them.

So Zhang Heping took the things from Li Wanwan's hands and received a sweet smile in return: "Thank you, Brother Zhang!"

Li Wanwan has a small, delicate face with curved eyebrows and eyes. She doesn't look like the kind of stunning beauty, but her sweet dimples have a healing quality.

Zhang Heping was amazed. He blushed and said, "No need to thank me. I'm a grown man, how can I rest while you girls do the work?"

Li Wanwan nodded without saying anything.

Because they were at the very back, no one noticed their interaction; otherwise, they would have thought, "Wow, this is promising!"

Bi Qiaoan followed Shen Yanming empty-handed and whispered, "Luckily everyone drank the fruit tea, otherwise it would have been a waste." It's all good stuff, it's such a pity to throw it away after it's been polluted by the sandstorm.

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Well, you're quite lucky."

"By the way, let me carry one of them. It'll be tiring for you to carry two!"

"It's okay, this weight is nothing to me. Let's walk faster, we'll be home soon."

That's what they thought, but things didn't go as planned. While the group was still on Qingning Mountain, large raindrops began to fall.
