The next morning, before 5:30, Shen Yanming woke Bi Qiaoan up.
Although I went to bed early last night, this lazybones who has never gotten up this early before is giving up!
"Ten minutes, just ten more minutes of sleep, okay?" Bi Qiaoan mumbled, burying her face in the pillow.
"No, darling, we need to wash up, change clothes, and prepare what we need to bring!" Shen Yanming whispered in Bi Qiaoan's ear.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a storage box appeared on the bed.
He went up and opened it. Inside were a neatly arranged pot, several sets of tableware, a packet of brown sugar, a packet of red dates, two packets of ginger slices, ten salted eggs, a dozen or so steamed buns, two boxes of frostbite cream, and a packet of cotton swabs.
Upon seeing this, Shen Yanming smiled.
Since my wife wants to sleep a little longer, then let her sleep a little longer, but only for ten minutes.
He put the storage box on the bed into his space, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, I checked the time and it was already more than ten minutes later.
Shen Yanming sat on the edge of the bed once again and called out to Bi Qiaoan.
This time, she didn't dawdle. She quickly got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After washing up, she saw Shen Yanming eating breakfast and asked, "What time are we leaving? Am I not going to have time to eat?"
Shen Yanming pointed to the clock on the wall, "We'll leave at six o'clock, and there are less than fifteen minutes left."
Bi Qiaoan nodded, "Then I'll go change my clothes first, and we'll eat breakfast on the way!"
Shen Yanming didn't stop her. He had witnessed firsthand how fast his wife could change clothes; it was already quite an achievement if she could get dressed before he finished eating.
And that was indeed the case. He had already finished eating and gone back to his room to change his clothes, but his wife was still there putting on her socks and pants.
Seeing that Shen Yanming had fastened his belt and was only missing a jacket, Bi Qiaoan said enviously, "I feel like I've gained weight; these pants aren't wide enough anymore!"
"She hasn't gained weight, my wife is still slim!" Shen Yanming reassured her, but he did notice that Qiao An was fuller than before.
Moreover, there is a big difference between men's and women's clothing. His clothes are mostly loose, making them easy to put on and take off.
As for Joan, she mostly wore tight-fitting clothes, which were difficult to put on and take off.
We could suggest she wear some loose-fitting clothes, but we're worried about letting in drafts and not keeping her warm.
Shen Yanming helped Bi Qiaoan put on her pants and then put her coat on. "It's getting late, we should get going."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and followed Shen Yanming downstairs in the dark.
The two of them didn't take anything; everything was in the storage space. They could just put it in the car later. Since the power was off, they weren't worried about anyone finding out.
The underground parking garage was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
After Bi Qiaoan got into the car, Shen Yanming bent down from the driver's seat and placed two storage boxes between the two rows of seats.
One was a list of things Bi Qiaoan had compiled for today, and the other was the free soup she had promised everyone.
Because he was worried about these things getting bumped or damaged, Shen Yanming drove very steadily on the road.
However, driving steadily meant driving slowly, so the two of them didn't arrive at the guard station until 6:40.
I had expected it to be packed with customers, but in reality, it was deserted.
The two parked their car, walked to the office area, and asked a staff member, "Excuse me, is this where we pick up tents and coal stoves?"
"Yes!" the other person smiled. "Please show me your ID card or work permit."
Bi Qiaoan took Shen Yanming's work ID out of her bag, and put it back after the other party verified and registered it.
"The tent and coal stove are in the warehouse. Would you like to come with me to get them, or wait here and I'll bring them to you?"
The other party was very polite, but Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan both felt they weren't that shameless, and they said in unison, "We'll go get it with you!"
The staff member smiled and led the way.
On the way, Shen Yanming asked the staff, "Why does it seem like no one has come to collect the tents? Did we arrive too late?"
"No, you guys are among the earliest batch!"
Seeing their confusion, the staff member smiled and said, "Before you, less than ten people came to pick up tents. As for the others, we don't know if they didn't want the tents we sponsored, or if they thought it was too early and wanted to come later."
"So, does that mean we can still be picky?" Shen Yanming joked.
"Yeah, pick whatever you like, they're all the same."
The three of them walked for about five minutes and arrived at the warehouse.
A large light shines at the entrance of the warehouse, illuminating a space of several dozen square meters.
Inside the warehouse, there were two desk lamps, the light was dim, and you could only see things within two or three meters.
Three large men were sitting near the door warming themselves by the fire, but they were careful to keep the coal stove far away from the tents and coal briquettes.
The staff member handed the registration card to one of the burly men and said, "They are the ninth people to come and collect the supplies."
The other party nodded, gave Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan a dark look, and then said, "Not bad, young man. Keep up the good work!"
Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were a little confused about each other's tactics, so they could only smile and nod, waiting for the other party's next move.
Seeing that the two seemed startled, the staff member joked, "Didn't you say you were going to choose your own tent? Why don't you go in and pick one out?"
Upon hearing this, the two men sitting around the stove also looked up at Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan.
The couple's hearts were pounding, but they still managed to keep smiling.
Shen Yanming said, "I was just joking. We don't understand these things. Just give us whichever one you want, and we'll take it."
“Yes, as long as it’s not bad!” Bi Qiaoan added.
"Hahaha! Old Li, there are actually people who aren't afraid of you!" The staff member leading the way laughed so hard he almost fell over, and the two burly men also smirked.
Old Li raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "Why should we be afraid of me? What could possibly happen to them in the guard team?"
"Oh, just kidding. It's because you're so big and burly. Just your stern face can scare little girls to tears." The staff member wiped away tears from his eyes and continued, "Of the people I brought this morning, only these two weren't afraid of you, right?"
"That's because you brought too few people. Only three groups this morning, leaving the three of us extremely bored here." Old Li walked to the back of the warehouse, bent down, and picked up a folding tent.
Then he walked to the other side and picked up a coal stove.
Back at the door, he kicked the person who was sitting still, "Go, get some coal briquettes for them!"
The man still didn't move, and pointed to a corner, saying, "It's ready-made, go move it from there!"
Shen Yanming was too embarrassed to ask Old Li for help moving the coal briquettes, so he asked, "Would it be convenient for me to go in and move them myself?"
"There's nothing inconvenient about it, you can move it yourself!"
Shen Yanming nodded, walked to the corner without choosing, picked up a box against the wall and walked out.
