On Friday night, Shen Yanming told Bi Qiaoan to go to sleep first, while he and Ji Kangyong drove to the warehouse.
This warehouse was initially registered only with property ownership and tenant information; the materials inside were not registered.
So far, the ownership of Qinghua Kingdom's warehouses remains unchanged. As for whether they will be nationalized in the future, no one knows. But in any case, the Qinghe Alliance will not let you suffer any losses.
It took Shen Yanming more than half an hour to drive to the warehouse late at night. In order to avoid being noticed, he chose a super remote place. Fortunately, the order in Qinghua Kingdom is relatively stable, and so far, no villains have set their sights on the warehouse.
Ji Kangyong used the key to open the security door, and Shen Yanming saw that the supplies inside filled about forty square meters. This was after Shen Yanming had helped to collect the supplies from two or three hundred square meters of other materials.
However, after careful observation, Shen Yanming discovered that Ji Kangyong had not touched the remaining supplies at all.
"You've never been here before, have you?"
"Well, I haven't come back since you gave me the key, so as not to cause trouble for that family." Ji Kangyong had a wry smile on his face.
"Why didn't you tell me? I could have secretly sent you some food and supplies." Shen Yanming frowned and looked at Ji Kangyong with some heartache.
"I know you mean well, but my family has a few sensitive noses. If they knew I had friends like you, I probably wouldn't be able to get away from them now."
"Besides, I eat at work every day, and I haven't starved to death." Ji Kangyong laughed after saying this, and even went up and hugged Shen Yanming.
Shen Yanming patted Ji Kangyong on the back, "Alright, stop getting sentimental, let's move the goods first, we can talk about it slowly over the weekend."
Ji Kangyong nodded, put on an apron for himself and Shen Yanming, and then bent down to pick up the boxes.
Shen Yanming and Ji Kangyong made dozens of trips to fill the small truck that Ji Kangyong had brought, but there were still a lot of supplies left in the warehouse.
“I really should have let you take more with you back then. I thought I needed these things so much, but after all this time I realized that I can live a good life without them. Our Qinghua government is amazing. They have been teaching ordinary people how to survive.”
Shen Yanming smiled, "In that case, the Zhang family's daughter deserves a lot of credit."
Ji Kangyong nodded, "Yes, she was courageous and can be considered a great contributor."
After checking that nothing was missing, Ji Kangyong turned off the warehouse lights, locked the door, and drove the small truck back to Qingyu Community.
Shen Yanming had already informed Chen Shunwei, so as soon as they arrived at the door, Chen Shunwei gave them the best possible assistance. Wang Lai, just like last time, came with Shen Yanming to help.
The three of them moved the items much faster than the two of them. After they were all moved into room 901, Ji Kangyong gave Wang Lai two boxes of instant noodles as a thank you gift.
Actually, it can also be considered hush money.
However, it didn't make much difference; the result was the same. Wang Lai excitedly carried two boxes of instant noodles back to the security room, handed one box to Chen Shunwei, and said, "Brother, we didn't see anything today!"
Chen Shunwei gave Wang Lai an annoyed look. "I know, shut your eyes and keep your mouth shut!"
The two of them acted as if nothing had happened, neither recalling nor discussing it, until a month later, when Ji Kangyong returned in his truck and brought them another case of baijiu.
Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai admired the abilities of Shen Yanming's friends even more. They knew they had to treat people like this with sincerity, and as long as they befriended them, they would surely reap the benefits.
The weekend arrived quickly, and Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan went to 901 after washing up at home.
Upon entering, Bi Qiaoan was immediately amused by the sight of three hard-boiled eggs lined up in a row. Shen Yanming handed his gift to Ji Kangyong, saying, "Congratulations on your move!"
Bi Qiaoan handed the bag in her hand to Ji Kangyong, "These are vegetables I just picked before I left home, they're super fresh, I'll add some vegetables to tonight!"
Ji Kangyong welcomed the two into the living room, where a hot pot with two broths was placed on the coffee table, and the soup inside was already bubbling.
"Let's have hot pot. I'm not good at cooking much."
“Sure, hot pot is such a great atmosphere in this kind of weather. I can use my vegetables for the hot pot,” Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"We were originally planning to cook dried vegetables, but we didn't expect you to bring your own ingredients when you came to visit. Thank you so much!"
As he spoke, Ji Kangyong got up and went to the kitchen to wash the vegetables. Before leaving, he said to Zhang Heping and Li Zhaozhao, "The three of us are lucky; we don't have to eat dried vegetables today!"
After Ji Kangyong left, Zhang Heping asked Shen Yanming, "Are those vegetable seedlings still alive at home?"
"Yes, the indoor temperature is alright now, so those seedlings won't die. Qiao An waters them with used water every day. Although they're not growing as well as they were in the first half of the year, at least they're alive and we can eat some fresh vegetables."
"I have to say I admire you two; you always manage to live such an idyllic life," Zhang Heping said with a face full of envy.
Shen Yanming patted Zhang Heping on the shoulder, encouraging him with a firm expression, "You can do it too, keep going!"
Shen Yanming wondered if he should introduce Zhang Heping to a girlfriend. He couldn't let his buddy waste the rest of his life on Song Qingqing and her boyfriend.
However, Shen Yanming didn't say anything and continued chatting with everyone. After Ji Kangyong washed the vegetables and brought them over, the group had already prepared the sauces and were waiting.
None of the five people stood on ceremony; they sat around the hot pot with two broths, eating and chatting.
"Tell me, how did you get out?" Li Zhaozhao asked first.
"What else could it be? We got kicked out." Ji Kangyong picked up a slice of mutton. "The mutton from Qingli Mountain is pretty good!"
"Of course, the meat we see being slaughtered is real mutton, unlike the meat in the market, where you don't know if it's real or synthetic."
"There aren't many available, and I don't know if I'll still be able to buy them next year when I go to Qingli Mountain."
"Who knows? If the water source on Qingli Mountain is continuous, it may not be a problem. The real fear is that the river there will dry up, and the lambs and piglets left behind will die of thirst."
"I wonder how many plants will be left on Qingli Mountain after this dry season. It's such a pity that this pristine land has been destroyed."
Seeing that everyone was talking endlessly about Qingli Mountain, Zhang Heping suppressed his sour feelings and said, "Old Ji, don't change the subject. Tell us how you were kicked out."
Seeing that he couldn't escape it, Ji Kangyong could only tell the truth: "How else could I be kicked out? I was just kicked out like that."
My dad complains that I'm unfilial, and my stepmother complains that I eat and drink too much and that I'm always being sarcastic at home. I just pretend I don't hear her and continue to eat and drink as usual.
Then, they couldn't take it anymore and discussed cutting ties with me, since they had a son together anyway.
Later, the two of them found a fault and kicked me out. To completely sever ties, my biological father and stepmother even went to get a notarized document.
As he spoke, Chi Kangyong laughed, "Now I'm completely free!"
Ji Kangyong endured nearly thirty years before gaining his freedom, which was largely due to the laws of Qinghua State.
