Chapter 306: Worry about Exclusion
"Yes, it's right here!"
Cui Xian pointed to one side and said, "Don't be fooled by the fact that this road looks very wide. In fact, it ends after walking one or two hundred meters.
So there is no car here, we can just set up the tent on the roadside, it’s okay.”
"Okay, let's put up the tent first!"
Shen Yanming opened the trunk, took out the tent and coal stove, and then set up the tent with everyone.
The army green tent is not very big, but the fabric is thick and very windproof.
Chen Qing took out a coal briquette stove from the side and put it in the tent, then moved a few folding chairs from the car and placed them next to the stove.
"The folding chair is from my home, and the coal stove was brought by Yu Shui. In order to bring the stove, he rode his electric bike for more than an hour and his hands and feet were frozen and numb." Chen Qing said to Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming took a look and saw that the coal briquettes must have just been replaced, so the outer wall of the stove was not very hot.
He nodded and said to Chen Qing: "Thank you for your hard work. You have thought of everything so carefully."
"As it should be, we are a team, and we all want to get this done."
"Well, I brought some other things with me, let's go move them!"
Shen Yanming called Chen Qing and Cui Xian, and took down two storage boxes and two barrels of purified water from his car and moved them all into the tent.
Bi Qiaoan squatted down and opened the storage box. Cui Xian and Chen Qing were shocked when they saw it. "Did you two bring all your belongings here? Why do you feel like you are just living here?"
Bi Qiaoan smiled and shook his head, "No way, this is just about caring for yourself and serving everyone!"
Shen Yanming bent down and opened the vent of Yu Shui's stove a little, and said, "If I didn't have this stove, I would have to find a way to make a fire. Yu Shui has helped me a lot."
Then the couple took out the iron pot from the storage box, put it on the stove, added water, and put in brown sugar, red dates and ginger slices.
"This is what Qiao An prepared. It's ginger and sugar water. Let's make some for ourselves first. When people come, we can share it with others!" Shen Yanming said, "Did you all bring cups?"
“Yes, I also brought a big thermos!
I didn't expect you two were so well prepared. If I had known, I would have just taken a cup.
I walked slowly along the way, fearing that the thermos would break." Cui Xian said as he ran outside and brought in a pink thermos.
"This is good. If there are too many people and there is no time to add cold water to boil, just add some hot water. It can save a lot of trouble."
Shen Yanming thought to himself that when he was preparing supplies, he mostly focused on food and clothing, and he really didn't prepare things like thermos bottles.
After all, apart from Qinghua, few countries drink hot water.
It seems that I have to find some time to buy two thermoses in the next two days.
A few people were chatting around the stove, and within a few minutes they heard the beeping of a car horn.
When I looked outside, I saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen getting out of a black car. She walked to the front of the tent and asked, "Excuse me, are you the reception staff of Hai City? We are from Beiha City!"
"Yes, we are. There are a few of you here. Little girl, come in and have a rest for a while!" Bi Qiaoan greeted with a smile.
The little girl nodded, turned around and shouted two words in dialect to the car. Bi Qiaoan didn't understand, but he knew it was to let his family get off the car.
A middle-aged couple got off the car. Cui Xian and Chen Qing moved a few small stools in the corner to the stove and said, "You must have worked hard on the journey. Come over and warm yourself by the fire. Let's check the information first and then go to the house."
The little girl nodded and thanked him, and the middle-aged couple also smiled.
The three of them sat around the stove, warming themselves by the fire. Chen Qing asked them, "Can you show me your ID cards?"
"Can!"
Several people took out their ID cards from their bags or pockets and handed them to Chen Qing, who looked through the list to check.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bi Qiaoan asked the middle-aged woman beside him: "Auntie, what time did you leave? Why did you come so early? Also, how did you know we were receptionists?"
The middle-aged woman said with a smile: "We set out at 9:30 last night, and the car drove slowly on the road, so we arrived at this time.
Before we set off, our Beiha City leader told us to just look for the green tent when we get to Hai City, as the person sitting inside is definitely a receptionist.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "It's true!"
But I was complaining in my heart that Hai City didn't even notify me about such a big thing.
Aren’t they afraid that someone won’t pick up a tent and the other party won’t be able to find the receptionist?
However, she couldn't say it, as it would damage the image of Haishi's reception staff.
"Aren't you working? Why do you bring a pot?" The little girl stared at the iron pot on the stove for a long time, and asked when she couldn't help it.
Bi Qiaoan lifted the lid of the pot generously, letting the other party see the wine-red liquid inside, and said, "I made some ginger sugar water to drive away the cold for the guests who came from afar."
The little girl looked at the red dates and ginger slices floating on the surface, her eyes brightened, she licked her lips and asked uncertainly: "Is it for us to drink?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Yes, but you came a little early, the water in the pot hasn't boiled yet."
"It's okay, I can wait!" After getting a positive answer, the little girl's eyes were curved with smile.
"Look at you, you are such a loser!" The middle-aged woman glared at the little girl, then smiled and said to Bi Qiaoan, "I'm so sorry, but we have limited supply of everything over there, and my little girl hasn't had candy for a long time."
"Our Haishi also has a limited supply, and this is because my husband and I have a light burden, so we saved it."
"Ah? This is personal property? I thought it was public property! If that's the case, I'm embarrassed to drink it!" said the little girl embarrassedly.
"It's okay. We took it out to entertain guests. If you don't drink it, someone else will." Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"That's right, little girl, don't be polite. Wait until the water boils and let Qiao An pour you a cup." Cui Xian also advised.
"Well, then I won't be polite!" The little girl smiled shyly, and then said to the others, "We were so nervous before we set out, fearing that the people here would be xenophobic and difficult to get along with. I didn't expect you to be so welcoming!"
A few people smiled awkwardly. They had no choice. After being assigned to such a job, could they just turn their backs on it and refuse to do it?
Bi Qiaoan could only smile and say, "It's my duty. I hope you guys will be happy, and it will help us to carry out our work!"
At this time, Chen Qing also checked the information clearly. He asked several people: "My form shows that there are six people in your family. The remaining three..."
"Oh, they are behind us." The middle-aged man explained, "My grandson may have a stomachache. His parents went to the toilet with him and will be here soon."
