I Farm and Survive in the Apocalypse

Bi Qiao'an lay weakly in the ice and snow, watching the heavy snow bury her alive. Thinking back to her three years of solitary survival in the apocalypse, her consciousness gradually blurred. ...

Chapter 939 Overwhelmed with Praise

Liang was deeply moved and, after thanking him, took the plastic bucket.

I poured a thick layer of water into the cup, added lukewarm boiled water, shook it a few times, and took a sip.

"Oh, it's so sweet! I haven't had honey in ages. I'm so lucky to have it today," Liang Zheng said, licking his lips.

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Do you have any bottles? There should be quite a few left in the bucket. You can pour them all out."

"No, no, you take it back for the child to drink. I'll just try it; I wouldn't dare to be too greedy."

"It's alright. Although this trip took a bit longer, we still got a lot of results. We've saved enough honey for my little one."

Liang Zheng was somewhat surprised to hear this. He tilted his head and asked, "How much exactly did you get?"

I didn't want to pry into other people's privacy, but I couldn't resist my curiosity.

"There's quite a lot, about ten pounds. I'll keep two pounds for my family, An'an and Nuannuan. As for the rest, I'll wait until it's transported away tomorrow, then I'll feel at ease."

"So many?" Liang Zheng was initially surprised by the quantity, then grasped the key point: "Transport them? Where are they being transported?"

Shen Yanming didn't hide anything: "Is it in the capital, to help a friend recover?"

Liang Zheng recalled the long-standing rumor and wasn't too surprised. However, he asked, "Isn't there honey in the capital? Why bother transporting it all the way there?"

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's probably because our Haishi is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery that even the honey produced by bees is exceptionally sweet."

Liang Zheng burst into laughter, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You're a thoughtful guy."

"That's all the ability I have," Shen Yanming said modestly.

The two chatted for a couple more minutes before parting ways. It won't be long before everyone knows that Shen Yanming gave all the honey he found to the bigwigs in the capital. That way, no one will covet what he has anymore.

Shen Yanming was in a good mood, his lips curled up, and even his steps on the way home were much lighter.

As soon as he got home, he put his backpack, which weighed about 10 or 20 pounds, on the ground, waved his hand, and Bi Qiaoan appeared.

The couple turned on the light, took out the honey from their backpacks one by one, and poured it into containers. They mixed in an equal amount of spiritual honey, then poured it back into the bottles. This doubled the number of bottles they used.

After finishing, Bi Qiaoan lay on the sofa and complained, "It was really troublesome."

Shen Yanming smiled and said, "There's no other way. Honey has to come from a legitimate source, otherwise what if people get suspicious?"

"Yes, we have to make a special trip to clean the beehive, otherwise what if someone goes to check and finds it's still full? Hmm, I know, it's all for Li Sikai, isn't it?"

"Yeah. He hasn't shown up since the Lunar New Year. Although the weekly live streams are still going on, I always feel something's off. You could tell from his voice when we talked on the phone last time that he sounded very weak."

“I know. He’s had a really tough time. Getting a space should have been a huge blessing, but his status forced him to use it as a public space. That’s bad enough, but the space itself is a burden, harming his body.”

If I had known upgrading would be this painful, I would have just left it in its initial state.

"Nobody expected this to happen; it was an accident."

The couple remained silent for a while, then put the honey back into their spatial storage. Of course, they only kept half. The rest they planned to send to Li Sikai.

"Hey, set aside three bottles for Zhang Heping, Ji Kangyong, and Li Zhaozhao. If you want, you can also send one to Song Wenuan. The rest can all go to the Imperial Capital."

After a moment of silence, Bi Qiaoan asked, "Is this arrangement alright? Besides Sister Wen Nuan, there's also Zhu Shiliang and Yu Shui."

Shen Yanming gently ruffled her long hair and said, "But we can't take care of everyone. If everyone takes a share, there won't be much left to send to the capital."

Bi Qiaoan nodded and said nothing more.

After tidying up the living room, the couple went into the bedroom together.

An'an and Nuannuan are fast asleep, their rosy little faces making you want to kiss them.

The couple tucked them in, washed up, and went to sleep.

The next morning, An'an and Nuannuan had just woken up when they found that their parents had returned.

They were so excited they almost pounced on each other and shook each other awake, but seeing how tired they both looked, they quietly went to the living room, opened the drawer under the coffee table, and took out two pieces of bread and two bottles of milk to eat.

After eating and drinking our fill, we took our goose to the orchard to play wildly.

When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan woke up, it was already noon. They washed their faces, brushed their teeth, and then went to make lunch.

Before everything was ready, An'an and Nuannuan returned, looking filthy. At the same time, there was also a goose carrying a small basket.

The two children rushed into their parents' arms as soon as they saw them, getting their pajamas all dirty.

The goose put the basket on the ground and quacked twice, looking aggrieved, as if it were complaining.

Shen Yanming ruffled the goose's head and whispered a few words of comfort, which revived the goose. It then nudged the basket forward, as if seeking praise.

"Yes, my little goose is great, and so are An'an and Nuan'an. But it would be even better if they could wash their hands and faces before they pounce on us. Look, Mom and Dad's clothes are all dirty. Sigh, we'll have to waste water and effort washing clothes again."

Bi Qiaoan's plaintive voice made the two boys feel extremely ashamed. They awkwardly apologized and ran to the bathroom.

Shen Yanming followed behind to help, while Bi Qiaoan continued cooking.

After everything was ready, the family enjoyed a delicious lunch and then left the space.

The flight from Beijing to the southern province was yesterday morning, and the return flight is said to be this afternoon. Because it's inconvenient to be delayed too much in the meantime, I have to arrive at the tarmac early to wait.

The couple took their two children to the helipad at 3:30 p.m.

Wen Mengguan and Secretary Jiang were already waiting there. The couple were somewhat flattered to see them.

"What brings you here?" Shen Yanming asked with a smile.

Wen Mengguan nodded: "There is a document that I would like to ask the guards to take to the capital."

Shen Yanming didn't ask what the document was. After greeting them, he stood to the side. An'an and Nuannuan looked around curiously. A moment later, a rumbling sound came from the air.

A few minutes later, the helicopter landed. As soon as the cabin door opened, several guards stepped out.

The couple looked closely and realized they recognized them. They were the same people who had brought rice and flour to their home last time.

After greeting them, the group said, "You're so kind. We wanted to catch up, but things are busy in the capital, so we have to leave with our things."

Shen Yanming nodded in understanding and handed the honey he was carrying to the other person.

"This must weigh about twenty pounds, right? That's quite a lot!" the guard said, tossing it in his hand.

"Maybe, I haven't weighed them. I had to clean out several beehives to get this much, it doesn't seem like much."

"That's enough, brother, don't be ungrateful." The other person smiled and took a box of fruit out of the cabin.
