Chapter 722 Core Competitiveness
Xiao Zhao: "...Don't you think what you just said is contradictory?"
"Is it contradictory? No!" Shen Yanming smiled, "I just think that people should have the courage to fight against nature. However, they should also recognize their own abilities.
Isn't there a saying that goes, 'If the King of Hell lets you go at three o'clock in the morning, he will never keep you until five o'clock'? Sometimes I feel that my fate is fixed.
Although you can try to change, you may not be able to fight against fate.
There is also a saying that goes, "A blessing in disguise." So, there is no need to shrink back. Just do what you want to do. What you think is not good may become your core competitiveness in the next second.
Shen Yanming's words were a wake-up call for Xiao Zhao. He used to just complain and accept his fate, and never considered the problem from these perspectives. Today, "listening to your words is better than reading for ten years."
He smiled and nodded, very grateful to Shen Yanming.
"When I get back, I'll ask my mother to arrange a blind date for me." Xiao Zhao said with a smile.
Shen Yanming nodded: “Pick carefully!”
The two walked for more than two hours before finally arriving at Xianshui Village. Xiao Zhao and Shen Yanming went to Sister Yan's house to get acquainted with each other. "Just wait here. I'll come find you with something in a while."
"Okay, I only have over 100 kilograms of dry goods here, so don't bring too much when you come over."
Xiao Zhao waved his hand to indicate that he understood, and went home.
When Shen Yanming opened the courtyard door, he saw Yan Qiumin looking at him in surprise: "Oh, you're back, have you eaten?"
"Not yet, Sister Yan, where is my wife?" Shen Yanming asked with a smile.
"Inside the house." Yan Qiumin had just finished speaking when she heard An An Nuan Nuan shouting, "Is that Dad?"
Then Da Da Da ran out, hugging Shen Yanming's thighs one by one: "Dad, you are finally back, I missed you so much!"
Comrade Old Shen suddenly felt that his son and daughter were a little flattering, but he quite enjoyed this feeling.
He bent down, picked up the two babies, and asked questions like "What did you do yesterday?", "Did you eat well?", "Did you listen to your mother?", and then walked towards the room.
When Bi Qiaoan saw the man coming back, he quickly took Nuannuan from him and asked him in detail about his experience of almost a day and a night.
Shen Yanming walked to the bed, sat on it, and briefly talked about his experience of traveling at night and encountering the cargo ship.
"I'm super tired now. I've been out for almost 20 hours and haven't slept for a moment. I ate two or three pieces of bread and drank a glass of milk. Except for resting for an hour or two at the beach this morning, the rest of the time I walked.
My legs are almost broken. If it weren't for, well, that thing, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on. "Chen Yanming winked and made Bi Qiaoan laugh.
"What else can I say? How reckless! Think about it, if you weren't lucky, you might not be able to come back." Bi Qiaoan didn't say it clearly, but the whole family understood what she was hinting at.
At this time, Yan Qiumin came over. She shouted from a distance: "Xiao Shen, Xiao Bi, I'm here to bring you food."
Bi Qiaoan hurried out to greet her and helped her share the bowl of soup which was difficult to carry.
"These are just leftovers from lunch. I heated them up for you. Don't be disgusted." Yan Qiumin felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Yanming took a look and found that there was a complete set of rice and vegetables, and it was obvious at a glance that they were specially served and just reheated.
He smiled and said, "How can I dislike it? It's so complete. Thank you so much, Sister Yan."
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. Xiao Bi gave me a big bag of rice yesterday, which is enough for our family to eat for a long time." Yan Qiumin said with a smile, but she was also worried that Shen Yanming didn't know and would be angry when he got back.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yanming smiled and said, "It's only right. You take such good care of them. That little bit of rice is our token of appreciation."
Bi Qiaoan went over and took Yan Qiumin's arm: "Sister Yan, I told you my husband wouldn't blame me, but you didn't believe me! He's a famous henpecked man in our place."
Bi Qiaoan deliberately exaggerated to see Shen Yanming's reaction. As a result, Comrade Shen kept smiling, neither nodding in agreement nor shaking his head in denial.
Seeing the sweet love between the couple, Yan Qiumin smiled and said, "It's good that you're not angry. I'm just afraid that it will affect your relationship. Okay, I'll go back first. Xiao Shen, have a good rest after dinner. If you have any problems, just call me."
"Okay, thank you Sister Yan." Shen Yanming smiled and sent the person out, then picked up the bowl and started to eat voraciously.
But before he finished eating, he heard someone calling his name outside the yard. Shen Yanming put down his bowl and chopsticks and walked out.
"You came pretty fast!"
"Well, my home is very close to here. I'll go back and pack up and come here."
"Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet. I'll eat it after I get home."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I am staying here as well, otherwise I would take you home for dinner."
Xiao Zhao didn't care: "It's okay, my mother knew I was coming back today and prepared a big meal for me. If I don't go home for dinner, wouldn't I be letting her down?"
Shen Yanming nodded, opened the trunk, and took out the dry goods: "Come, take a look at the quality of these things, are you satisfied?"
Xiao Zhao went forward to take a closer look and saw that everything was very dry and not moldy or spoiled. He nodded and said, "Not bad, very good. By the way, you can also take a look at my goods."
Xiao Zhao put his bag into the trunk and opened it for Shen Yanming to see. Comrade Shen held his breath the moment the bag was opened because it smelled too fishy.
"This is the first batch that was dried when we went out to sea. It's quite dry. I thought your home is far away and I was afraid it would go bad on the way, so I brought you the freshest ones. But you can't put them in the car. It's too stuffy. Why don't you put them in the house and pack them up when you leave."
Chen Yanming smiled and thanked her: "Okay, I'll take it to Sister Yan's house first, and then put it in the car when we leave."
"Well, this way we don't have to worry about it going bad." Xiao Zhao said with a smile: "By the way, how heavy is your dried food? I don't have a scale at home, so I took some based on my estimate."
Shen Yanming calculated what he had exchanged and added what he wanted to keep, then said with a smile, "It's only about 100 kilograms. I don't have a scale here. How about I go ask someone nearby who has one?"
Xiao Zhao thought about it and felt it was too much trouble. He carried Shen Yanming's mountain product bag and his own seafood bag, and decided, "Let's do it this way. If we carry more, we will suffer a loss, and if we carry less, we will gain an advantage."
Shen Yanming had no objection to this. The amount of things didn't matter to him anyway.
He nodded and added some chestnuts to Xiao Zhao's plate: "Go back and cook it yourself."
Then he took out the small medicine box he prepared on the way and said, "Here, these were prepared by an old and very prestigious Chinese medicine practitioner in our area. They are very effective. I wrote down the instructions and the diseases they are for on a piece of paper. I hope you never need to use them."
