Chapter 299 Deliberate
"Sure, there's nothing wrong with that. But your house is so big, how come you turned it into a kitchen? Can I have a look?"
Zeng Yiming's curiosity was piqued and he felt like most of his sleepiness was gone.
"Sure, you can look at it any way you want!"
Shen Yanming didn't bring him either, he let Zeng Yiming go around by himself.
Then he walked into the master bedroom, took out the quilt that Zhang Heping had used the night before, took it to the living room and placed it on the sofa.
After Zeng Yiming went through several bedrooms and returned to the living room, Shen Yanming said to him, "The quilt cover has just been washed, you can use it with confidence."
Zeng Yiming touched it and said with a smile: "I don't mind even if it hasn't been washed. How can I be so pretentious when I visit someone else's house?"
"It's not a question of being pretentious or not. Now that you are here, I want you to feel comfortable."
"Well, I feel quite comfortable. I can feel that you and Qiao An have made a lot of preparations for my arrival."
Shen Yanming nodded. Although they were all small things, it was undeniable that he and Qiao An did prepare a lot of things.
Zeng Yiming was very casual. He took off his shoes and lay on the sofa and asked, "Why did you turn your bedroom into a vegetable room? Can you eat all the vegetables you grow?"
"If you can't finish it, just make it into dried vegetables. You've been through a food crisis, don't you know the truth of being prepared?"
Zeng Yiming choked, touched his nose and said, "I know, how could I not know.
It’s just that I have always been tinkering around, and I can get what I want without much effort, and I have never thought of growing it myself like you do.
Even the land at home, I never took care of it.”
Shen Yanming smiled, "Everyone has their own way of living, as long as they can get by, that's fine.
In fact, you should be able to see from these two contacts that I don’t have the energy to do anything else now. I just want to live a stable life with my wife, with enough food and drink, and not being busy or tired. "
"Yeah, I can see that, and it feels like you're very timid right now!"
"Yes, although I haven't experienced it yet, I am afraid of facing the evil of human nature. I would rather make myself ordinary and not be seen by evil people than live in fear one day."
Zeng Yiming froze, "Yanming, do you know something?"
Shen Yanming shook his head, "I don't know anything, I just think that the saying 'It's not the lack of wealth that is worrying, but the inequality of wealth' makes a lot of sense.
Maybe it's because everyone can still fill their stomachs now, or maybe it's because the guards have made a lot of efforts in private. In short, the world you see is still different from the real world.
Let me ask you, if the climate continues to deteriorate and everyone finally can’t even afford enough food and clothing, who will be the first to be attacked by the growing darkness?
Is it ordinary people like us, or big businessmen like you who have money and food?
The answer is self-evident.
So, sometimes, being ordinary is not necessarily a bad thing.
When you don’t have the power to keep everything, being an ordinary person is actually the best choice!”
Shen Yanming's words brought a shocking blow to Zeng Yiming's heart.
In the past, he always felt that he was capable and could exchange for meat, grain, vegetables, gold, jewelry, etc. at times like this. His parents also felt that he was capable and would intentionally or unintentionally show off to their neighbors and friends.
In the past, he always felt very proud when he saw others looking at him with envy and jealousy. But now, Shen Yanming told him that those were like time bombs that would backfire on him if he was not careful.
When Shen Yanming talked to me on the phone before, he asked me to pay attention to the supply volume to Chen Shunwei and others. I guess he took these factors into consideration.
He not only wanted to protect Chen Shunwei and the others, he was also reminding himself.
Maybe, it’s not that Shen Yanming is too timid, but that I am too timid.
Seeing Zeng Yiming lost in thought, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan both hid in the bedroom.
"Did you say too much just now?" Bi Qiaoan asked worriedly.
"That's all I can say, but I'm really worried that if he expands his business too big, he'll be targeted."
"He has his own ideas, will he listen to you?"
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head. "He doesn't listen to me, he listens to himself! What I said is just my own understanding, which may not be correct. Those can only be used as a reference. It depends on him how he decides to do it."
Bi Qiaoan looked worried, "I just hope that in the future, he won't hate you!"
"No, he's not that kind of person!"
The conversation between the two people came into the living room through the crack in the door, and Zeng Yiming, who was thinking with his eyes closed, heard it clearly.
Although he didn't know whether the couple said these words intentionally, he knew that they meant well anyway.
Zeng Yiming raised the corners of his mouth slightly and began to plan for the future in his mind.
But as he was thinking, he fell asleep.
After Bi Qiaoan finished speaking, she turned around and found that the bedroom door was not closed. She widened her eyes and said silently with her mouth: "He couldn't have heard it!"
Shen Yanming nodded and replied in a whisper: “I did it on purpose!”
Then he turned around and closed the door gently.
"You said you didn't even say hello to me, aren't you afraid that I will say bad things about you?" Bi Qiaoan complained angrily.
"Don't be afraid, because my wife rarely speaks ill of others, and you have a good impression of Zeng Yiming."
"How do you know I have a good impression of him?"
"You prepared so many gifts for him! If you didn't have a good impression of him, you wouldn't even let him into the house, right?"
Bi Qiaoan shook his head and said, "I didn't prepare a gift for him because I had a good impression of him.
It’s because when we were in Qingli Mountain, he prepared so many animal cubs and plant seedlings for us.
It can be said that the fact that we have everything to eat now has a lot to do with him.
For that, I am grateful to him.”
"Yes, if he hadn't helped me at that time, I would have been able to get those things, but it would have taken a lot of effort. That's why I gave him two ginsengs and even risked being exposed to give him the pills.
So, my wife, we don’t owe him anything, just treat him normally, okay! "
"Well, I'll try my best!"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, then burst out laughing, "Maybe it's because ginseng and pills are not too rare for us, so I failed to correctly estimate their value.
Because it came easily, I subconsciously felt that it was not as good as the small fruit trees and poultry given by the other party, so I was particularly friendly to the other party. "
"I knew it was because of this, otherwise I would have had to drink two jars of vinegar." Chen Yanming smiled and said, "But wife, they brought us more than 40 kilograms of pork, aren't the gifts we prepared a little insufficient?
Please help me think about what else I can give away."
