Chapter 502 Love Delivered to Your Door
Although there is a refrigerator in the dormitory, the couple rarely uses it to refrigerate vegetables.
After all, I have several pots of that thing planted at home. I can just pick whatever I want to eat without having to put it in the refrigerator for people to see.
The vegetables in the bedroom looked a little droopy, but they were still alive and well. Bi Qiaoan picked some greens, cucumbers, green peppers, and tomatoes, then went back to the kitchen to get a kettle and watered the vegetables.
She had already put the meat she had taken out of the refrigerator in the microwave to thaw it, and now she was just waiting to wash the vegetables and put them in the pot.
Zhang Heping felt a little embarrassed watching Bi Qiaoan busying around and wanted to go forward to help, but was dismissed by the other party on the grounds that guests were not allowed to do anything.
In fact, Bi Qiaoan really didn't want him in the kitchen. Although the plan was to use the ingredients on the surface to cook, it was possible that he would think of something in the middle of the meal and would have to take it from the space. It would be fine if he was not there, but it would be inconvenient if he was.
Zhang Heping was helpless, and seeing that Bi Qiaoan was washing vegetables with warm water and wearing rubber gloves, he didn't say much. He just waited in the living room for Lao Shen to come out quickly, otherwise he would be worried when his wife started cooking.
This was indeed the case. After Shen Yanming joked with Zhang Heping, he hurried back to the kitchen to take over his wife's work. Bi Qiaoan didn't act pretentiously and left the kitchen directly. After taking a look at the master bedroom that had changed drastically, he took the two little babies back to the room and put them in the crib.
Then she chatted with Zhang Heping, her mouth watering at the aroma coming out of the kitchen. Although she smiled, God knew how bitter she felt inside. She couldn't eat spicy food or cold food, she could only eat light food, and there were many other requirements.
Zhang Heping was originally talking with great excitement, but gradually, he felt that Bi Qiaoan was not in the right state. He smelled the aroma of food wafting from the kitchen, and suddenly realized that Qiaoan was hungry!
But he couldn't say, "Joan, why don't you eat something first?" After all, this was someone else's home. Wouldn't she know what was in it better than him? Since she didn't move, he would just pretend he didn't know.
Hehe, it’s really a big misunderstanding.
As he was thinking this, there was a knock on the living room door. Bi Qiaoan was about to get up and open the door when Zhang Heping stopped him and said, "You take a rest, I'll go open it."
It was only a few steps away, so Bi Qiaoan nodded in agreement.
As a result, when the door opened, the older ladies who were carrying things outside were stunned when they saw that this person was someone they didn't recognize.
Finally someone reacted and said that this was Lao Shen's friend, and they greeted him with a smile.
Zhang Heping also smiled and made way for the door to welcome the person in.
When Bi Qiaoan saw that they were actually neighbors in these buildings, she quickly stood up to greet them and asked them to sit wherever they wanted.
Visitors either sat on the sofa or on a small stool. Those who couldn't sit down either leaned against the wall or the table, or simply sat on the floor. It was hot anyway, so there was no need to worry about catching a cold.
But this action shocked Bi Qiaoan. Even if there is a place at home, people cannot sit on the ground. It doesn't feel like a good way to entertain guests.
She got up and went back to the bedroom, and took out two yoga mats from the cabinet, which was actually a corner of a room in the space-moving villa, and took them outside and placed them on the ground, so that everyone could sit on them without worrying about the cold floor.
The neighbors didn't expect the little girl to be so considerate, and they praised her a few words before sitting on the mats. Because of the two mats, all the visitors really sat down.
Bi Qiaoan briefly introduced Zhang Heping's identity to everyone so that there would be no embarrassment. Shen Yanming heard the noise and came out of the kitchen to greet everyone, holding a fruit plate and a plate of melon seeds in his hand, and told them to do as they pleased.
The fruit plate contained the most common watermelon, but it was a precious commodity these days. However, the sisters in the escort team could occasionally go to the planting area to have a bite, so they were not too surprised when they saw the bright red flesh.
But the plate of melon seeds surprised them. After all, this thing can be used to extract oil, and the guards have almost never released melon seeds. It was only after Bi Qiaoan explained that it was given by a friend in Nanshi that they put aside their curiosity.
The group chatted for a while, and after the sense of distance between them receded a little, someone handed something to Bi Qiaoan and said, "Qiaoan, I'm Xu Xiaoqing from 402, Unit 1, Building 2. You can call me Sister Qing. This is two kilograms of millet I brought from home. It's not much, you can make do with it to replenish your body."
After Xu Xiaoqing finished speaking, several older ladies came over and handed over the bags in their hands. The bags contained either brown sugar or red dates, and even dried mushrooms, dried lilies, white fungus, kelp, etc.
Bi Qiaoan was flattered and didn't know whether to accept it or not.
Although the amount was not much, it was all good stuff. And they were just familiar faces, some of them had not even greeted each other.
Seeing her hesitation, Xu Xiaoqing explained as a representative: "Don't worry, take it. This is the rule here. Supplies are in short supply during special periods, but being sick and hospitalized or getting pregnant and having children are both big events, and it is difficult to get through them on your own.
So this is what we do. Whoever needs it will contribute a little, so that the other party won’t have any pressure and can also take good care of their health.
Don't feel burdened, just consider it as our gift.
It's a courtesy to return favors. When someone is in trouble, you can help them within your ability. Do you think this is feasible?"
Bi Qiaoan nodded, thinking that this was a good idea, and it was a way to help each other in the end times. After all, one person's ability was limited, but when a group of people gathered together, they could not be underestimated.
For example, now, bags piled up one after another actually take up most of the coffee table.
In order to better return the gift, Bi Qiaoan asked Zhang Heping to help register the information of the visitors and make a gift list. The older sisters didn't mind, knowing that the young couple had only been here for a short time, so it was normal that they didn't recognize everyone.
After the registration was completed, they asked to see the two babies. Although Bi Qiaoan felt that there were too many people, she was embarrassed to refuse them because they were kind enough to bring things to her door. So she reminded them: "The child is asleep, can we keep the noise down for a while?"
The elder sisters nodded, indicating that they understood. Bi Qiaoan stood up, opened the bedroom door, and walked in first. After taking a look at the little babies and seeing that they were sleeping soundly, he waved to the elder sisters who were gathered at the door to come in.
They weren't crowded. Three or two came in, took a look, and then left, and then others took their turn.
Everyone tried to walk as lightly as possible, and a glance only took a few seconds. No one spoke and no one touched anything, which made Bi Qiaoan feel quite favorable towards them.
After all, children are too young and have limited resistance. If they are touched too much, they may be infected with bacteria and affect their health.
