Chapter 739: Particularly Thick Thighs
Zeng's mother naturally didn't believe it, but seeing Zeng Yiming pulling at the clothes desperately, she had no choice but to give up.
Then he said sourly: "Now Yangyang's mother is very happy. Not only did he come back safely, but he also brought a lot of food."
Zeng Yiming smiled. He knew his mother was feeling unbalanced. He consoled her, "Mom, a blessing in disguise. Just like this time, although I didn't get as many benefits as Yangyang did, I built up a good body in the Kunmeng Mountains. I can tell you, I can fight three people at once without any problem."
Moreover, the alliance has privately promised to give them the qualification to stay in the shelter. However, the workers living inland cannot use it for the time being.
When Zeng's mother heard her son say this, she finally laughed.
Zeng's father did the same, patting his wife's arm and admonishing her: "Don't think too much, the harvest is good this year, give your son some good nourishment."
"Yes, this year not only are the crops growing well, but there are also more fruits and vegetables on the market."
Zeng's mother was very excited, but Zeng Yiming knew that the things that could be traded were basically things that could not be kept. Things like rice, flour and oil should still be controlled by the alliance and the citizens.
But he didn't say it out loud, and nodded, "Yes, Mom, you have to nourish me well. Although I can eat well in the Kunmeng Mountains, the chef's cooking skills are really not good. I miss my mother's cooking skills every day."
Zeng's mother was so coaxed that her face was full of smiles. She also forgot the sadness she felt when she first met Zeng Yiming. She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll make it for you right away. We didn't prepare anything today, so we'll just have some local delicacies. Tomorrow, ask your dad to catch a chicken and we'll have big plate chicken."
Zeng Yiming smiled and agreed. He knew that his parents must have had a hard time during his absence, otherwise they would not have aged so much.
Not to mention the invisible worries about themselves every day, they had to work hard to get a good harvest on their three acres of land. What's more, the old couple also raised chickens and pigs, so you can imagine how much work they had to do every day.
Seeing his parents' increasingly faltering steps, Zeng Yiming felt extremely guilty. He was glad that he was back and could still show filial piety to his parents. He hoped that he could make his parents live a good life through his own efforts in the rest of his life.
Zeng Yiming thought about it and called a few of his friends. He thought that since the supplies were still abundant this year, people with more food would want to improve their living standards. With so many resources in hand, it was a good time to trade.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he imagined. Because the alliance had warned that the next disaster would be related to water, most people held on to their food and refused to release it, causing Zeng Yiming to be stuck in a stalemate and unable to do business for a long time.
He didn't understand. There had been disasters before, but didn't those people still have food and drink? But he didn't know that the alliance's repeated big moves had scared people. Even if their homes were far from the sea, they were afraid that they would be affected in the end and have no food to eat.
In desperation, Zeng Yiming called Shen Yanming and told him that he was back and that he was planning to resume his old job.
Shen Yanming smiled and said congratulations, and didn't offer any more suggestions.
Zeng Yiming was somewhat helpless and said with a smile: "Brother, give me some reaction!"
"Didn't I say congratulations?" Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head: "I think your idea is very good, but it may be difficult to implement. However, with the identity of a laborer as a backup, it doesn't matter even if it can't be done. Just give it a try."
"Well, I feel better when you say that. I don't know why, but you didn't say anything. I feel uneasy."
"But I'm just throwing cold water on you."
"That was also to keep me awake!" Zeng Yiming said sincerely, "To be honest, Lao Shen, along the way, I almost regarded you as my spiritual pillar."
Shen Yanming was slightly shocked, but he remained calm and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, but I'm a little cautious sometimes. As for spiritual support, we still have to rely on the alliance. I think we have a very strong leg to rely on. With this important identity, as long as we don't commit suicide, the alliance will protect us."
Zeng Yiming laughed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I didn't feel it before, but after a year of training in the Kunmeng Mountains, I have a lot of feelings. The alliance is really powerful, hehe, and the work of a laborer is also very attractive. I don't know if I was blinded by shit before and didn't see the benefits. I regret not joining a few years earlier."
"People don't know what's going on. Who can predict such things? It's not too late now. You should do your best to perform well after being assigned the task."
"I know, I will."
"Well, strengthen your training, practice more boxing and kicking with the instructor, and learn some knowledge about wilderness survival."
Zeng Yiming rolled his eyes and said, "Old Shen, why do I feel like you are hinting at me?"
Shen Yanming neither admitted nor denied, "Aren't the guards and laborers now strengthening these two trainings?"
"Oh, I see." Zeng Yiming nodded: "I'm calling you this time just to let you know. If you want any rare items, you can ask me and I'll try my best to get them for you. If your friends need anything, you can also call me."
"Well, if someone asks, I'll recommend you to them."
"Okay, okay!" Zeng Yiming smiled happily.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Shen Yanming called his wife over, and the two thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what they were missing.
Shen Yanming said, "It's okay. Take a look these two days. If you want anything, tell me. I'll also sort out the supplies to see if there's anything I've missed."
Bi Qiaoan disagreed. She bit her lip and said, "In fact, life is all about food and drink. Our family has no shortage of food and drink, and the level is far beyond that of ordinary people. As for other things, to be honest, even if we get them, we may not be able to use them."
Shen Yanming also knew that, just like when their family of four went on a trip, they were very careful along the way and dared not take anything out of the space except food. They had stockpiled better off-road vehicles and RVs, but they still had to make do with the small car.
But he just wanted to stock up, it was an instinctive, physiological desire.
Bi Qiaoan held his hand and advised: "It's okay, we have been conspicuous enough, let's do this."
Shen Yanming sighed, "Okay, I'll stop. But if any of them want to exchange something, I can introduce them."
Bi Qiaoan frowned and said, "Don't take the initiative. Otherwise, people will think you are taking kickbacks. Also, knowing that a major disaster may occur in the future, I think most people will hoard food."
