“If Zhang Chenjun needs anything in the future, let’s help her if we can!” Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming with bright eyes.
Shen Yanming didn't actually want to get involved with Zhang Chenjun, but looking into Bi Qiaoan's eyes, he couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he nodded, "We've all enjoyed the benefits she's given us, but now that she's part of the alliance, there's not much we can do to help her."
"I didn't say I had to help, but, hehe, let's talk about it later!" Bi Qiaoan didn't reveal her true intentions. Anyway, it was still early, so she could deal with it later.
On Wednesday, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan logged into the purchase link released by Qinghe Alliance's official Weibo account early in the morning. By 10 o'clock, the two of them frantically clicked the purchase button. However, they were not very lucky and only managed to buy a solar-powered phone.
Bi Qiaoan looked at Shen Yanming with a gloomy expression. She had to admit that her husband was really lucky.
Bi Qiaoan glared angrily at Shen Yanming, making Shen Yanming both laugh and cry. "Here you go, take it all!"
Bi Qiaoan snorted, "No way, my phone is prettier!"
Okay, okay, whatever you like!
"Hey, you guys managed to get one?"
Shen Yanming nodded, and then everyone exclaimed, "Wow, that's impressive! He really is our star performer. Even when it comes to stealing a phone, he's so good at it!"
"What, none of you managed to get one?"
"I, I got it! Haha, didn't expect that, did you!" Qin Yiren raised her right hand. "Xia Ran got it too!"
"Ahhh, I thought it was just Shen Yanming. I didn't expect all the ladies in our office to be so lucky. I'm so envious!"
"That's right, I'm someone with a cheat code!"
"Um?"
"Haha, I wrote a cheat!"
Well, capable people are always very willful!
In late December, the Qinghe Alliance once again posted on its official Weibo account, informing the citizens of Qinghua Kingdom that a warm-hearted event was about to be launched.
"Qinghe Alliance reminds you that starting from New Year's Day, Qinghe Alliance will provide heating services to eligible areas. Please make preparations according to local arrangements."
In addition, due to the extreme difficulty in obtaining water during this year's dry season, Qinghe Alliance has put in a lot of effort to provide heating for everyone. Therefore, in order to prevent some residents from releasing water from the heating pipes, Qinghe Alliance has added a certain pigment to the heating water, which will turn the skin black if it gets on it.
The laws of the Qinghe Alliance have also been amended accordingly. If anyone is found to be deliberately stealing heating water, the Qinghe Alliance will impose penalties such as fines or criminal detention, depending on the severity of the circumstances.
Meanwhile, Qinghe Alliance reminds you that starting from New Year's Day, each person is limited to purchasing 500ml of desalinated seawater per day. If needed, please bring your ID card to the designated location to purchase. The specific location is as follows.
This Weibo post brought new life to Qinghua Kingdom. Netizens spread the news and were overjoyed. Life had hope again!
Foreign netizens who saw this news about Qinghua Country shed tears of envy, saying they really wanted to be citizens of Qinghua Country!
Time flies, and the end of the month is fast approaching. For the first time ever, the Human Resources Management Department gave out benefits for the New Year!
What perks? Hehe, 5L of purified water per person!
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan happily returned home for the holiday with two buckets of purified water. The moment they opened the door, they felt a warm breeze rushing towards them.
"Ah, the heating's on!" Bi Qiaoan quickly took off her coat and stood in the living room, feeling the warmth coming from all directions.
It was only today that Shen Yanming felt like he had returned to the 23rd century. Although he could accept the lack of heating in winter, someone accustomed to comfort would naturally prefer to do whatever made them comfortable.
So the two of them quickly went into the space to wash up and then came out wearing clean and comfortable pajamas.
Another year has passed, and Bi Qiaoan has decided to have a big meal tonight, at least some fish, shrimp, crab, and melon.
But before she could even get into the kitchen, someone knocked on the door.
"Hello, I'm from the family whose apartment in unit 2 was burned down..."
The woman who came was an elderly woman in her sixties. She looked very distressed. "My house was burned down. There's nothing left. Could you please give me some food? I... I can pay for it."
As she spoke, the old woman was about to kneel down, crying as she said, "My husband is still lying in the hospital, and I want to make him something nice to eat to help him recover!"
Shen Yanming sighed and said with some reluctance, "Please wait a moment."
Shen Yanming turned around and closed the door. He opened the refrigerator, took out two chicken legs, grabbed a handful of wood ear mushrooms from the kitchen, opened the door, and handed them to the old lady. "There's not much left in the house. Please take these and use them!"
"Thank you, thank you, young man, you are such a kind person, you will be blessed!" The old lady said many words of thanks before leaving.
Looking at the large pile of ingredients she had taken out of her spatial storage, Bi Qiaoan suddenly felt a slight sense of guilt. "Could it be that I also have the potential to be a saint?"
Bi Qiaoan was startled by her own sudden thought, then shook her head to herself and started cooking.
Shen Yanming smiled as he watched the bewildered Bi Qiaoan, and then came over to help.
Soon, a delicious and visually appealing meal was served, including boiled fish, steamed crab, spicy shrimp, winter melon stewed with pork ribs, cold watermelon rind salad, spicy and sour cucumber strips, and garlic-flavored loofah.
This meal isn't entirely made fresh. After all, dishes like braised pork ribs with winter melon take time to prepare. So, some of the dishes were taken from the available space, while the rest were made fresh tonight.
After enjoying their meal, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan decided to go out and visit Chen Shunwei and the others.
Originally, Chen Shunwei and Wang Lai were not supposed to be on duty tonight, but everyone else wanted to go home and get together. Chen Shunwei's home is close to Qingyu Community, and Wang Lai is also here alone. So the two of them discussed it and decided to take the shift themselves to help others.
Chen Shunwei invited his family to the security room to celebrate the New Year together, which was also a way of spending New Year's Day with Wang.
When Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan knocked on the door, they found six people eating together in the security room: Wang Lai, Chen Shunwei, his wife, daughter, and parents.
"Why are you here?" Chen Shunwei was a little surprised to see Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan when he opened the door, and quickly welcomed them into the house.
"I'm sorry to have disturbed your meal!" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Where are you? We're almost finished eating. Have you eaten yet? Would you like some?"
"No, no, I just came to see you all. Here, let me add some dishes for you!" Shen Yanming handed the thermos to Chen Shunwei.
Chen Shunwei didn't stand on ceremony and opened it, "Boiled fish?"
"Really? Mr. Shen, you're so kind! I haven't eaten fish for months." Wang Lai snatched the thermos from Chen Shunwei and poured out the boiled fish so everyone could eat quickly.
The people sitting around the table, their mouths watering at the sight of the bright red chilies and tender white fish, abandoned all restraint and joined the frenzy to grab the food...
