Chapter 974: Can’t Eat It, Can’t Throw It Away
The four of them ate happily. After the meal, they all collapsed on the sofa and rubbed their stomachs.
"Oh, I haven't eaten so happily in a long time. I don't know why, but yours tastes better than mine, with the same potatoes, cabbage, and vermicelli. Is it because you put meat in it? But my food isn't as delicious even with meat in it!" Wen Mengguan sighed.
Shen Yanming smiled and said nothing. The vegetables were all grown in the space. Although they were the smallest and most inconspicuous, their quality was obviously better than those grown outside.
Jiang Shulian also praised it a few times, rubbing his stomach and looking at the watermelon on the ground, unable to move his eyes away. But he was full now, and couldn't eat any more even if he wanted to.
The couple didn't miss his look and said with a smile, "Wait a minute, after digesting it, we'll open a watermelon. It's too cool to eat watermelon in the middle of winter."
Mm, cold and sour.
But Jiang Shulian didn't expect it, and nodded with sparkling eyes: "Okay, okay!"
Wen Chaohui looked at him with disgust, curled his lips, but said nothing.
After they sat for an hour and felt their stomachs were much shrunk, Shen Yanming cut the watermelon and gave each of them a piece.
Jiang Shulian happily took it, then frowned and said, "Why does it feel a little cold?"
But he didn't think much about it and bit it. His brows frowned and his facial features twitched instantly.
"Oh my god, why is it so cold? My teeth almost fell out!" Jiang Shulian said while sticking out his tongue after swallowing the watermelon.
Chen Yanming suppressed his laughter: "Don't you think about how cold it is outside and how cold it is inside. It's probably even colder than after being refrigerated in the refrigerator after being transported all the way from the Imperial Capital."
Jiang Shulian smiled bitterly, looking at the watermelon in his hand, feeling stuck. He couldn't eat it, but he couldn't throw it away.
"If you really can't eat it, don't force yourself. Put it over the fire and let it roast for a while. We'll finish it later."
After Shen Yanming finished speaking, Jiang Shulian was obviously relieved. But when Wen Chaohui glared at him, he didn't dare to do it anymore.
I ate the watermelon bite by bite, bitterly, and each time I held it in my mouth and waited until it was warm before swallowing it.
Wen Chaohui also ate very slowly. Although the watermelon was very cold, it tasted good, so it was not a wasted trip.
"I think those fruits have also frozen into lumps of ice. Go back and eat them quickly before they go bad."
"Yeah, got it."
The group stayed together until 10pm before they separated. The couple gave Wen Chaohui and Jiang Shulian a portion of fruit each, and the one with the larger portion got almost half of the total amount.
Wen Chaohui and Jiang Shulian were very satisfied. After expressing their gratitude, they left with the backpacks.
Shen Yanming put the rest into the space, and Bi Qiaoan went to clean up the tableware for tonight. There were no outsiders, so she could use hot water. She came out directly from the space, washed the dishes, and poured some hot water to wash.
An An and Nuan Nuan were already sleepy, but they were reluctant to go to bed because there were guests. Their eyelids were fighting, and they called out "Mom" softly and fell asleep.
Bi Qiaoan helped them wipe their hands and faces before carrying them to bed.
An'an and Nuan'nuan have grown up and can sleep alone. The two babies are in the guest bedroom next door. After Bi Qiaoan put them down, he put a chair behind them before leaving.
Shen Yanming also packed himself up, and the two took off their down jackets, sweaters, autumn clothes, etc., and shivered directly in the quilt. Bi Qiaoan threw out two hot water bottles, and then he felt less cold.
Shen Yanming smiled and joked with her: "Do you know any other way to quickly warm up the body besides entering the space?"
Bi Qiaoan glanced at him and said nothing.
Chen Yanming was not discouraged, he pulled Bi Qiaoan over and hugged him in his arms: "Don't be silent, the night is long, shouldn't we do something?"
Bi Qiaoan: “…” Why the hell don’t you do something and just get some sleep?

The news of Li Sikai's space upgrade spread like a whirlwind. Those who had heard the rumor before were relieved.
"So, he fell into a coma because the space was upgraded. This mode is quite special."
"Fortunately, Captain Xiao Li is fine, otherwise there would be no hope for our Qinghua Nation."
"Yeah, you're right."
After the live broadcast was resumed, all bases were filled with such discussions. While the survivors were gossiping, they also contributed a certain amount of faith to the space.
Li Sikai lived in pain every day, but with the nourishment of the energy rain, he didn't have any major health problems.
Although I still can't walk, stand, or sit for a long time, it's much better than before. At least when I go out, I look like a normal person.
Thinking of the energy rain and century-old ginseng brought back from Hai City, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.
He had sealed the things in a corner of the space, and no one could touch them except himself. However, in order to avoid accidental discovery, he still put some of them outside and gave them to General Alliance Officer Li for safekeeping.
Li Sikai often wondered if he had not met Shen Yanming, he would have died in the earthquake.
Maybe not, but it won't be that easy to get out of trouble. After all, it was others who helped me several times.
It was also God's will that they met each other. If that was the case, if the Shen family ran into any trouble in the future, he would help them with all his heart.

Time flies, and it is already April. There is no grass growing oriole flying, no willow trees swaying on the bank, no children leaving school, and no east wind.
Everything was still winter, with no sign of spring. Everyone wondered if it was not the right time yet. Everyone held their temper and waited and waited until May.
But the weather in May is still cold, just above zero, and we still have to wear a cotton jacket.
Finally, we no longer have to endure temperatures as low as minus 30 or 40 degrees Celsius, and everyone feels a little more comfortable.
But the abnormal temperature is a headache. It's already this late and it's not spring yet, so how can the crops still grow?
At the end of May, the temperature rose to ten degrees above zero. Spring has finally arrived.
The grass on the mountain began to turn green, and the wheat seedlings planted in winter also began to turn green. After a spring rain, although it was still chilly, some wild vegetables and mushrooms appeared on the ground.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took their two babies for an outing. The two little ones were very happy, but the couple were worried.
Is this the beginning of the absence of spring after the absence of summer?
Although they were mentally prepared for climate change, the reality was far more serious than they had imagined.
"Dad, guess what I found?"
Shen Yanming followed and unexpectedly found a patch of bamboo shoots. He looked around and saw no one was around, so he took out a small hoe and started digging.
An An cheered them on from the side. After they dug more than a dozen, they clapped their hands and returned to their original place.
Bi Qiaoan and Nuan Nuan had already spread out the picnic blanket, but the ground was cold and it was very uncomfortable to sit on. The mother and daughter simply laid out a moisture-proof mat and used a pillow as a cushion, which made it very comfortable to sit and rest.
