Surrounded by everyone, Wen Chao went to the warehouse to put things away.
After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan said goodbye, Wen Chaohui waved his hand and said, "Go back and get some rest. I'll have someone deliver a fruit platter to your house tonight."
The couple didn't refuse; they smiled, waved, and left.
Qi Xili and Qi Lin were also struggling to stay awake, but they persevered and helped Wen Chao sort out things at the base before finally going back to sleep soundly.
Although they rested in the passageway or in Li Sikai's space, they weren't in their own territory, so they were always on edge and didn't get any proper rest.
Now that I'm back, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and lie down in peace.
I just don't know if the cave, which has been uninhabited for almost two months, will become too damp to enter.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan brought An'an and Nuannuan back to the cave, lit the stove immediately, and then the family of four entered the space.
After living surrounded by people for over a month, they were exhausted. They hadn't even been able to take a shower, and all of them smelled bad.
Upon entering the space, the family of four disdainfully took off their dirty cotton-padded coats.
Shen Yanming and An'an ran straight to the lake to take a bath, without even trying to take the bathroom from Bi Qiaoan and Nuannuan.
Girls take longer to bathe, so the mother and daughter discussed it and decided that one of them would use the bathtub and the other would use the shower, which would save time.
Nuannuan was quite embarrassed at first, but gradually she opened up.
Come to think of it, this is one of the few times in my life that I've had the experience of bathing with my mother.
After showering, they gathered around to eat hot pot, accompanied by the delightful soapy water; the whole family of four felt absolutely blissful.
Before they had even finished eating, An'an and Nuannuan yawned three times.
Shen Yanming urged the two of them to go to sleep. An'an glanced at her father and thought to herself, "Don't be so obvious about your little scheme."
However, she still went back to the house with her sister.
Bi Qiaoan glared at Shen Yanming and said in a low voice, "You should restrain yourself in front of the child."
Shen Yanming chuckled: "He's a grown man now, he should know what he needs to know already."
Bi Qiaoan couldn't refute it, but she always felt it wasn't appropriate to say these things in front of the children.
As she got up to clear the dishes, Shen Yanming followed her from behind and whispered, "Wife, darling, it's been so long since we've been together."
Bi Qiaoan: "...Well, I'll have to clean it up first, right?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming smiled and quickly took over the work from Bi Qiaoan, promptly washing the bowls and chopsticks clean.
Then, with a swift movement, he carried the person into the house. Not long after, unusual sounds emanated from inside.
Fortunately, the space upgrade gave them more precise control capabilities.
Bi Qiaoan used her mind to separate the master bedroom, otherwise her precious child would be so embarrassed if they heard it.
Her husband, Lao Shen, is the same; he's over forty years old, but he's still so energetic.
Shen Yanming didn't care what his wife thought; he was completely satisfied.
Not long after it ended, I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes, it was already late at night.
Shen Yanming remembered that Wen Mengguan had said he would deliver fruit to his house, but what was the situation now? He hadn't delivered it.
Unbeknownst to him, in the evening, the guard knocked lightly on the door a few times, and when no one answered, he went back.
Because the guard had instructed that if anyone was asleep, they shouldn't be disturbed. The fruit platter could be brought back and shared. Therefore, the guard didn't dare knock too loudly, and the two exhausted individuals inside naturally didn't hear him.
Shen Yanming released his consciousness into the space and wandered around the base twice. Seeing that everything was normal, he withdrew it.
Harvest and store the mature vegetables, fruits, and grains in the space, and slaughter and store some of the chickens, ducks, fish, shrimp, pigs, cattle, and sheep.
Shen Yanming felt like a farmer, possessing the most precious thing in the world.
After finishing all that, it was getting late. Noticing that the woman next to him still showed no signs of waking up, he closed his eyes and rested.
But as it was being cared for, it fell asleep.
The next day, when Shen Yanming woke up, he found himself alone in bed.
Surprised, she quickly used her consciousness to search the space and saw Bi Qiaoan accompanying her son and daughter on a boat fishing.
Shen Yanming felt a little jealous, thinking to himself that he was not invited to such a fun activity!
But before he could get there, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the cave.
He hurriedly asked Bi Qiaoan to send him out of the space, and called out, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there!" Then he took out his dirty cotton-padded jacket and put it on.
The knocking stopped, and the guard outside said, "No rush, I'll wait for you outside. Take your time."
Shen Yanming was speechless, thinking to himself, "Who is this idiot who said such suggestive things?"
Actually, what he said was just a polite remark. Only someone like him, who has just tasted the sweetness of success, would overthink it.
Inside the room, Bi Qiaoan, An'an, and Nuannuan had already put on clean thermal underwear, sweaters, and long johns. The three of them simply didn't have the courage to do what their husband, Lao Shen, had done and put back on that dirty, smelly, tattered cotton-padded coat.
So as soon as the mother and her two children came out of the space, Shen Yanming covered them with a blanket and whispered, "Hide for now, I'll handle this."
Bi Qiaoan smiled, peeked out, and encouraged him with her eyes: "Keep it up!"
Shen Yanming flicked her forehead and then went to open the door.
As a result, a young man was seen pacing back and forth at the door, carrying a small milk pot in his hand and a basket on his back.
Shen Yanming greeted the person with a smile, planning to invite them in.
The young man waved his hand, handed the basket and pot to Shen Yanming, said, "Wen Mengguan asked me to deliver these," and ran off.
Shen Yanming stroked his chin, thinking to himself, "Why run so fast? I'm not the Big Bad Wolf."
What he didn't know was that last night, more than a dozen guards, after being given permission, shared a whole pot of fruit salad, satisfying their cravings to the fullest.
I didn't feel anything while I was eating, but after I finished, I started to worry that Shen Yanming would settle scores with me later.
The young man was pushed out by his teammates to take the blows.
Although he was the most aggressive and ate the most last night, the young man isn't stupid. Everyone did it together, so even if we're going to be punished, we should all be punished together. Why should he have to suffer alone?
Moreover, the distribution of fruit was permitted by Wen Mengguan, so Captain Shen shouldn't be so petty.
He kept trying to convince himself that if he actually met her, he would still chicken out.
So he slipped away very quickly, thinking that if he ran far enough away, the other party might not know. He planned to come back and apologize a couple of days later when Captain Shen had calmed down.
Little did they know, Shen Yanming didn't take those fruits seriously at all.
Watching the young man flee in a disheveled state, Shen Yanming smiled and prepared to close the door.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Song Wenwen and Wei Liang standing in the corner, looking hesitant.
Shen Yanming spoke up directly, and Wei Liang breathed a sigh of relief, took Song Wenwen's hand, and walked over.
Wei Jiahe and Niu Niu followed behind the two.
