Shen Yanming packed a bunch of fruit, meat, and eggs into his spatial ring, planning to give everyone a treat tomorrow night.
Then I tended to the medicinal herbs in the herb garden and the flowers in the flowerbed for a while until I was tired, and then I closed my eyes to sleep.
The two people in the space didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. After lingering for a while, they finally got dressed and strolled around the space.
“Let’s bring the child in. It’s not good for just the two of us to enjoy ourselves here,” Bi Qiaoan said, pinching Shen Yanming’s arm.
Shen Yanming smiled and nodded, then used his consciousness to envelop An An and Nuan Nuan, who were reading on the sofa, and brought them into the space.
The two children adapted well to the sudden change in environment. After saying goodbye to Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, they went off to play wildly.
Oh dear, it's been more than half a year since I last came here. I miss Brother Goose so much! And the horses on the grassland, I haven't ridden them in ages.
The couple ignored An'an and Nuannuan and started discussing dinner.
"Cooking is too much trouble, let's just have hot pot. The vegetables that grow in this space are easy to wash, just rinse them with water. And the meat is ready too."
"Alright, we just came back from the capital, so they won't suspect anything. Let's cut up some fruit, make a fruit platter, and let everyone eat to their heart's content."
As she spoke, she used her consciousness to retrieve a bunch of fresh vegetables from the storage area, took them to the kitchen, washed them, and chopped them.
Then he took a piece of mutton and picked up a cleaver to slice it.
As for those stockpiled before the apocalypse, they shouldn't be released. They're too thin and curled; they're obviously machine-cut.
Although Shen Yanming's knife skills were good, the slices of mutton he cut were still quite thick, about two millimeters thick, and quite substantial.
"Let's leave it like this. With the help of the space, they can cook it a bit more, and the taste shouldn't be too bad."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and began deveining the shrimp.
I've harvested so much from this space, but I haven't processed it all. I can't just wait until the guests arrive and then scramble to get things done.
The two also prepared some palm-sized fish with few bones, which would cook quickly in the pot.
"Let's see if anything is missing?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Shen Yanming glanced at the things covering the control panel and felt that it was about time.
"Just take whatever comes to mind. Anyway, with the storage rings to cover it up, we can finally use this space."
"That works too!"
Bi Qiaoan put the bowls and plates on the table into her storage ring. She and Shen Yanming cleaned the kitchen before leaving the space. An'an and Nuannuan were also there.
They need to meet some friends and invite them over.
First, go to Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong's place.
The two had heard yesterday that Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan had returned, but they waited until it was dark and still hadn't seen them.
Li Wanwan and Qin Yiren couldn't stand it anymore and said with a smile, "They just got back, they definitely need to rest first. Let's go to sleep, they'll definitely come over tomorrow."
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong then sat down to wash up and go to bed. However, they tossed and turned all night and couldn't fall asleep.
They went to work the next day to ask for leave. Because news of the Shen family's return had spread, their supervisor readily approved their leave.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knocked on the door, Zhang Heping rushed out without even putting on his shoes properly.
As soon as the door opened, he saw the still handsome Shen Yanming, and he let out a wail and burst into tears.
"Hey Lao Shen, why have you been gone for so long? Didn't you say you were only going to be gone for a month? I was worried you weren't coming back."
"Old Shen, you've lost weight! Have you been eating poorly outside? Stay at my place, I'll cook for you and make sure you're plump and healthy!"
Shen Yanming stared speechlessly at the person clinging to him, then turned to look at Bi Qiaoan, who covered her mouth and chuckled, looking amused.
"Okay, okay, get up. I'm fine, I haven't lost any weight, and I even look younger."
Shen Yanming was deliberately trying to provoke hatred because he was over forty years old, but looked like he was in his thirties.
Even with his frequent financial support, his two good brothers also showed signs of aging on their faces and bodies.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Heping could no longer cry.
To think that I, a nearly fifty-year-old old man, was actually clinging to Lao Shen and whining, was just too embarrassing.
Little Pidan, standing next to Li Wanwan, stared blankly at his father, his jaw practically dropping.
Li Wanwan calmly reached out and touched her son's chin, saying, "That's just how your dad is, sometimes he's childish."
Little Egg nodded: "He's not as steady as me."
Hearing this, Xiaodousha, who was standing next to Qin Yiren, burst out laughing.
Qin Yiren affectionately patted her daughter's head and whispered, "Give your Uncle Heping some face!"
Xiaodousha turned her face away, and it took her a long time to calm down. Then she smiled and greeted Shen Yanming, Bi Qiaoan, and An'an and Nuannuan.
The couple smiled and pinched Xiaodousha's cheeks, then took out a bunch of delicious treats from their spatial rings: "Here, a gift for our little cutie."
Xiao Dou Sha accepted it without hesitation, smiling. Then she unpacked it and enjoyed a bite of dried meat and a bite of dried fruit.
Little Egg was envious. He asked with a smile, "Uncle Yanming, Aunt Qiaoan, we can't show favoritism to each other!"
Bi Qiaoan leaned on Shen Yanming's shoulder, overjoyed. With a wave of her hand, the same copy appeared on the table.
Little Egg quickly hugged him in his arms, laughing so hard that drool was dripping down his face.
Li Wanwan covered her face, feeling unable to bear the sight, thinking to herself that her silly son was exactly like his father.
"Old Shen, come on, sit down! Tell us how things are going in Beijing?" Ji Kangyong pulled Shen Yanming's arm and sat him on the sofa.
Qin Yiren also came over and took Bi Qiaoan's arm.
After Little Egg finished taking care of Dong XZ, he came over to invite An An and Nuan Nuan.
He called her "brother" and "sister" so sweetly that An'an and Nuannuan almost doubled over with laughter.
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan sat down and saw the six people in front of them looking at them with bright eyes.
The couple touched their heads, looking a little embarrassed.
"Hey, come over for dinner tonight, we'll talk about it then." It saves me the trouble of explaining to each family.
"You know the address, right?"
All six people nodded in unison.
"Then be there at six o'clock sharp tonight, let's have hot pot."
"Alright, don't worry, the few of us will definitely be faster than anyone else!"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Alright then, we'll head back now."
"Hey, wait a minute, Lao Shen, tell me, how's life in the capital? And why do you look younger and younger?"
Shen Yanming touched his face and said with a smile, "What's the point of being young if you all have families to support?"
"Pah! You old man, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one with all that white hair!"
Shen Yan rolled his eyes and said, "I had some good fortune in the capital, and now my physical condition is excellent."
"What kind of opportunity was it?" Zhang Heping asked curiously.
Shen Yanming shook his head: "It cannot be said, it cannot be said. You will know when the time comes."
"Eh, you mean...?"
