Zhuang Zhimeng then smiled and replied.
"Hehe, didn't my aunt tell me to tell you everything?"
"Goodness, I'm not going to joke with you anymore. I'm calling to let you know that neither I nor your aunt and uncle can get time off or come over. We've prepared an engagement gift for you and will mail it to you!"
"Hehe, thank you, Auntie, and also Auntie and Uncle. Auntie, could you please pass on my thanks to them for me? I've already received several calls, I'm so embarrassed!"
"I really owe you something. Alright, don't worry about it anymore, you don't need to call them specifically!"
"Auntie, I love you the most!"
"All you ever do is sweet-talk me! Okay, I'm hanging up!"
Zhuang Zhimeng hung up the phone, gave the money to Aunt Tian, and was about to leave when Tian Cuie asked her a question.
"Is Zhuang Zhiqing really not going to wait any longer? Are you sure you won't get any more calls for her?"
Zhuang Zhimeng smiled and nodded, telling Tian Cuie with certainty.
"Don't worry, Aunt Tian, they haven't called me again!"
When Zhuang Zhimeng called back, she found An Qingbai still there, which surprised her.
"Brother Qingbai, you haven't left at all?"
An Qingbai shook his head and explained to her.
"I had already put the clothes back, but then I remembered there were still some things we hadn't discussed, so I came back!"
Zhuang Zhimeng grabbed the cup and gulped down a mouthful of water, then noticed An Qingbai waiting for her response.
"Nothing is negotiable, Qingbai, just tell me! I just got several phone calls and went back and forth to the brigade headquarters twice, I'm dying of thirst!"
As she spoke, Zhuang Zhimeng took another big gulp of water, almost choking herself.
An Qingbai was just about to start speaking when she interrupted him.
"Cough, cough!"
An Qingbai quickly walked behind her and patted her back with amusement.
"Zhizhi, why are you getting so worked up? I'm not going to steal your water. Drink slowly!"
Zhuang Zhimeng coughed twice and was fine. She drank a few sips of water normally and finally wasn't so thirsty anymore.
An Qingbai only remembered what he wanted to say after she stopped coughing, so he discussed it with her.
"Zhizhi, how many dishes should we get for one table?"
Zhuang Zhimeng had been pondering this question for a long time, and after much deliberation, she decided to take this opportunity to tell Qingbai about the existence of the warehouse!
Instead of answering An Qingbai directly, Zhuang Zhimeng asked him a question in return.
"Brother Qingbai, you guessed I have a secret, didn't you?"
An Qingbai nodded.
"Hmm, I have a guess!"
Zhuang Zhimeng had always wanted to ask him why he didn't ask her since he had already guessed it.
"Aren't you curious about what the secret is? Aren't you going to ask me?"
An Qingbai saw that she wanted to know, so he just said it directly.
"I'm curious, but I'm afraid that telling you might have some impact on you. I noticed that you didn't tell me either, so I figured it's probably something I shouldn't say. I think if I don't tell you, it won't affect you. It's okay if you don't tell me!"
Zhuang Zhimeng understood after hearing his explanation and patted him on the shoulder.
I wanted to hold his hand, but it was too hot.
"Brother Qingbai, if you're curious, just ask! I'm waiting for you to ask, and you're waiting for me to tell you. That secret will always remain a secret! That's how misunderstandings are. If you don't ask me, I won't ask you! From now on, if you want to know anything, just ask me directly, understand?"
An Qingbai nodded, realizing he should indeed ask Zhizhi directly, otherwise he would only be able to worry helplessly if something happened.
"That…"
Zhuang Zhimeng interrupted him. She was about to reach out and take his hand, but then remembered that her hands were sweaty, so she put them on his body to wipe them.
An Qingbai stared blankly, not knowing what she meant.
"Hehe, you're sweating! Give me your hand, and I'll take you inside to see!"
An Qingbai handed her his hand without hesitation.
This was the first time Zhuang Zhimeng had brought an outsider into the warehouse, and she wasn't really sure if Qingbai could come along too.
They then went in together without any problems.
Once inside the warehouse, it was quite cool. Zhuang Zhimeng took An Qingbai's hand and they strolled around, telling him stories as they went.
"Brother Qingbai, I got this warehouse by chance. I can sign in and win prizes every day. The prizes are all kinds of things. Everything in the warehouse now is from my lottery."
An Qingbai spread his fingers and intertwined them with hers, walking and looking around with her.
"This warehouse is amazing! I see there's a lot of stuff inside!"
"Yeah, you can draw twice a day, and you'll accumulate quite a lot!"
"You used to take things from here, right?"
"Yes, I can take it out as soon as I think about it!"
An Qingbai understood. No wonder Zhizhi had said there would be no impact!
He then pointed at the pork and looked at Zhuang Zhimeng.
"Zhizhi, I see you still have quite a bit of meat here. Are you planning to use it for your engagement?"
Zhuang Zhimeng looked at the pork in the direction he pointed and nodded.
“That’s right, we need at least ten dishes at a table, right? There has to be meat. Using wild game isn’t appropriate; wouldn’t that be telling the brigade leader we’re hunting secretly?”
An Qingbai was about to nod when he thought of something else.
"My mother is planning to slaughter a pig, and we'll slaughter another one when we get married."
Zhuang Zhimeng thought about it for a moment and then shook his head.
"The pigs won't grow very big now, it's such a waste to kill them. Brother Qingbai, tell your aunt not to kill them this time, we can take care of the meat ourselves. I have five whole pigs here, we can get meat from anywhere you want!"
When An Qingbai heard her say that, he agreed. It was indeed a pity to slaughter the pig now; it would be more appropriate to save it for the New Year.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother."
Zhuang Zhimeng then told him the main purpose.
"Brother Qingbai, actually I told you about the warehouse so you could help me contact the black market. There are a lot of things there that I can sell!"
An Qingbai looked around and saw that there was quite a lot of some things, such as rice and wheat flour, which he estimated to weigh several thousand kilograms, all piled up in bags.
