Shen Yanming dropped Bi Qiaoan off at the bottom of the dormitory building before he and Yu Shui went to park the car.
Upon returning home, Bi Qiaoan immediately released the two little ones from the space, and then took out the milk powder and bottles they had just drunk from and placed them on the coffee table in the living room, creating the illusion that the neighbor who had come to help had just left.
Considering that Shen Yanming might invite Yu Shui to stay for dinner, Bi Qiaoan quickly retrieved some ingredients from her spatial storage while they were still away.
The vegetables, needless to say, were fresh and tender, and their origin was easy to explain.
As for meat, there wasn't any in the planting area, and although she had some in the storage area, she couldn't take it out directly. So she used her consciousness to kill a bunch of large shrimp, took them out, and threw them into the freezer. Other meats were out of the question; killing them on the spot wasn't practical.
Then I put some nougat and small fried dough twists in the kitchen. It wouldn't be right to give some to guests while having nothing for ourselves.
After hurriedly finishing all that, I heard the two little ones crying again.
Bi Qiaoan quickly went to the bathroom to wash her hands.
After much consideration, she took out the spiritual spring water from the mobile villa, poured it into a basin, and quickly cleaned her face and hands. After changing into a clean set of pajamas, she went to the master bedroom to see her two little babies.
Unsurprisingly, they pulled a plug.
The mother didn't mind; she filled a small plastic basin with warm water and washed his bottom. Then she dried the water droplets with a soft cotton cloth before changing him into a clean diaper.
Once the baby felt comfortable, he immediately stopped crying and started making little "uh-huh" and "ah-ah" sounds, which were hard to understand.
But before she could even wash the bottom of her other little one, she heard Shen Yanming return with his men.
Bi Qiaoan didn't go out to greet them; she continued to tidy up the little baby.
Shen Yanming glanced at it and asked, "Do you need any help?"
Bi Qiaoan shook her head, "No need, you can take care of Yu Shui."
Old Shen looked around and roughly understood the situation. While telling Yu Shui to sit wherever she wanted, he took out the snacks that Bi Qiaoan had hidden in the kitchen to serve the guest.
Yu Shui was so confused he was practically shaking his head. In short, he said, "I can't possibly eat and take things at the same time!" Then he held up the bag in his hand, indicating that Qiao An had given it to him.
Shen Yanming smiled and simply said, "It's only right!"
After settling the two little ones in, Qiao An went to the bathroom to wash the diapers. Then she returned to the living room and asked Yu Shui what she wanted to eat.
Yu Shui stood there dumbfounded, saying nothing. Shen Yanming then took charge: "Eat whatever you have, and try to make it as good as possible."
Bi Qiaoan raised an eyebrow and went into the kitchen. But before leaving the living room, she looked at Yu Shui and said, "Don't worry, I wore gloves when I washed the diapers."
I also don't want guests to feel uncomfortable thinking about anything, so I'm explaining it in advance.
Yu Shui hadn't considered this point. After saying "oh oh" twice, he looked at Shen Yanming with an incredulous expression.
Shen Yanming felt uncomfortable under his gaze and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yu Shui was conflicted, unsure whether she should say it or not.
"Just say it if you want to, I'm not going to eat you." Shen Yanming couldn't stand his hesitant look any longer, so he took the initiative to speak.
Hearing Lao Shen say this, Yu Shui mustered up her courage and said, "I think I misjudged you before. I didn't know you were so doting on Qiao An in private. I thought you were a complete henpecked husband."
Shen Yanming paused for a moment, realizing he had misunderstood something. He then explained, "I have impetigo and am not suitable to breastfeed the babies. I even try to avoid contact with their diapers."
The same applies to cooking. My daughter, Qiao An, barely escaped impetigo; I can't let her catch it because of me. So, she's been doing all the housework lately.”
Yu Shui then realized that Old Shen had his reasons; it turned out that his henpecked status wasn't just an act.
"But you can't sleep without any contact, can you?" Yu Shui blurted out in a moment of impulse.
Then they noticed that Shen Yanming's smile vanished instantly, his face turning ashen as if he wanted to devour someone.
Yu Shui was embarrassed, thinking to herself, "That answer was absolutely brilliant!"
He chuckled and quickly changed the subject, "Old Shen, where did you get your peanuts? And what did you have for lunch today? I saw Qiao An take a plate of shrimp out of the fridge?"
Shen Yanming didn't argue with him and said, "It's the agricultural area. I go there often lately; I send all my wheat there to be processed."
He went to harvest wheat; who would bother to find out what he did? Besides, even if they did, Shen Yanming wasn't afraid. Anyway, he had replaced all of these things when Zhang Heping came to stay that time.
Yu Shui became interested upon hearing this and inquired with Shen Yanming about the exchange rates of these items.
Shen Yanming told him everything he knew, which made Yu Shui exclaim that he had learned a lot, and he was also surprised by the abundance of supplies the guard team had.
Shen Yanming suggested to him, "If needed, you can go there to exchange for some durable supplies, after all, this year's wheat..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Shui quickly nodded. The two understood each other perfectly and stopped talking.
They chatted about random topics, but Yu Shui was always distracted.
He hadn't originally planned to visit, but he was tempted by the two little ones and wanted to take a look, so Shen Yanming pulled him into the house.
But now, sitting here is really boring. Because of Old Shen's comments about impetigo, he doesn't dare to go into the bedroom to see the little dumpling.
He was afraid that the other person's two children, who were perfectly healthy, might develop abscesses after he examined them, which would be a terrible mistake on his part.
Shen Yanming knew what he was thinking, so he took out his phone and shared photos of the two babies with him.
But actually, there's really nothing to see. Babies, after all, eat and sleep all day; they can't talk or move.
As for appearance, to be honest, babies probably all look the same to everyone except their parents.
Even so, Yu Shui was astonished. She exclaimed, "My goodness, she really changes every day! Look, her skin is gradually becoming whiter and smoother. And her eyes, so dark and bright, like grapes..."
Shen Yanming said with a smile, "You should also hurry up and find someone to marry."
Like other older single men, Yu Shui's response to this matter can be summed up in two words: "Escape!"
It's actually quite normal. In this world, you never know what will happen tomorrow, and many people don't want to waste their energy on so-called "darlings." They're afraid that one day an accident will happen, leaving them not only physically injured but also emotionally wounded.
So Yu Shui chuckled dryly, "Let's see how things go, we'll talk about it later. Anyway, there aren't many women in the guard team who aren't in relationships."
Shen Yanming nodded, but didn't say anything more. This was their private matter; saying too much would only annoy people.
Yu Shui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he wasn't pressing her with questions.
At home, his parents nag him three times a day. If he continues like this when he returns to the guard post, he'll probably never dare to have any contact with Lao Shen again.
The two chatted for a while longer when they heard Bi Joan call out, "Dinner's ready!"
