Shen Yanming wasn't used to arguing with people, so he nodded in agreement.
However, he still instructed Chen Shunwei: "These things were exchanged for food with the guard team. There's a limit to how much each person can get. If you want more, there won't be any left. Don't tell anyone when you get back."
Chen Shunwei felt surprised, but also felt it was reasonable.
So he nodded: "Don't worry, I'll just talk to my wife about it briefly, otherwise she won't feel at ease. I definitely won't mention it to anyone else."
The two reached an agreement and prepared to move their belongings upstairs.
One bag of flour for each person. Shen Yanming did it easily, but Chen Shunwei put in a lot of effort.
However, the fact that they didn't give up halfway through made Lao Shen somewhat relieved.
"Will you get some training when you get back?" Shen Yanming asked.
"Of course, otherwise I'd be looked down upon by you again," Chen Shunwei replied with a smile.
"Haha, I didn't mean it. Exercise is good, look at your physique now, isn't it great!"
"Yes. I've also discovered the benefits of training. If I hadn't picked up boxing again recently, I really wouldn't have dared to charge in that night."
"Yes, I always want to thank you whenever you mention it. It's a real lifesaver."
"Oh, please don't. I just said it casually, just to show off a little. I'm not reminding you not to forget so you can use this to repay my kindness! You'd better forget about that. In the end, you're still implicated because of me."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Alright, let it disappear with the wind!"
Chen Shunwei quickly nodded: "Yes, that's how it should be. Sometimes I speak without thinking, don't take it to heart. By the way, you gave me all the things, what about yourself? Qiao An and the two babies need to eat something good too, right?"
"Would they really suffer a loss?" Shen Yanming found it amusing. "They've been preparing for this for a long time."
"That's good, that's good. If there's anything you need, just let me know. Although I'm not as capable as you, cats have their ways and mice have theirs, so who knows, I might be able to get it for you!"
"Okay, I understand!"
The two of them whispered to each other as they carried flour into the house, one trip after another.
Even when faced with that pile of toilet paper, Chen Shunwei couldn't stay calm.
"Old Shen, you've got so much toilet paper, you probably won't be able to use it all this year, right?" Chen Shunwei asked, taking a roll of toilet paper and looking at it.
Shen Yanming's expression wasn't good, but he still tried his best to keep a straight face: "We've been tricked!"
"What happened? Tell me?" After they got to know each other better, Chen Shunwei was willing to express his curiosity.
"Let's talk about it when we get home, so I don't have to explain it to my wife again," Shen Yanming said.
"Alright then. These things aren't heavy, we can stack them up and go back in one trip."
"Um!"
After moving everything into the house, Bi Qiaoan came out of the kitchen and saw that the already small living room was now even more cramped.
She didn't have any objections, but she looked at the pile of toilet paper and was a little puzzled.
He asked similar questions to Chen Shunwei, which successfully annoyed Shen Yanming.
Ignoring the presence of outsiders, she directly complained to Qiao An about Ye Wengui's outrageous actions.
"Honey, he's bullying me too much. I didn't want to leave, but he wouldn't let me go. He's treating me like a sucker." Shen Yanming felt wronged and immediately hugged Qiao An for comfort.
Chen Shunwei, standing to the side, was quite embarrassed; he had never seen such an informal couple before.
Bi Qiaoan knew that he was deliberately seeking attention and trying to impress. Otherwise, given his personality, if he really disagreed with the deal, Ye Wengui would have been absolutely unable to stop him.
It seems that he wanted to indirectly support the guards, which is why he allowed them to treat him like an easy target.
After all, wheat straw is readily available everywhere now. If it's used for papermaking, aside from the technology, machine wear and tear, and subsequent pollution reduction treatment, it can really be considered a risk-free business.
Sure enough, Shen Yanming muttered, "That's great. It won't be long before the whole guard team is talking about how I, Shen Yanming, am a spendthrift."
Bi Qiaoan smiled and patted his head: "Good boy, don't be afraid. I'm in charge of the household, so even if you're a spendthrift, there's not much for you to squander."
"Wouldn't that make me henpecked?"
"Uh, you don't want to?"
"How could that be? I'd be more than happy to!" Shen Yanming said with a fawning smile.
However, with most of his face covered by a mask, Bi Qiaoan could only see his smiling eyes.
Shen Yanming also felt that the mask was in the way, and he couldn't kiss his little wife anymore.
So he buried his head in the crook of her neck and rubbed against her like a spoiled puppy.
If you gave him a tail, he would definitely sway left and right as he swept across a vast army!
The sweet scent made Chen Shunwei turn his head away immediately.
Bi Qiaoan felt embarrassed and nudged Shen Yanming, who was on top of her. Although Old Shen felt a little disappointed, he wasn't entirely without restraint.
After getting off Joanne, he went into the kitchen to help with the cooking.
Chen Shunwei felt that the air was much fresher after no one was showing off their love anymore.
He has a wife and daughter, but after many years of marriage, he has never been this affectionate with his wife.
Seeing the man he considers so capable act like this today is truly a shock to his worldview.
Indeed, appearances can be deceiving!
However, I'm quite envious!
Why don't you go home and try it with your wife? Haha!
Before long, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Chen Shunwei's stomach obligingly rumbled loudly. Although no one heard it, his face still turned red with embarrassment.
When Shen Yanming came out of the kitchen carrying a plate, he saw his embarrassed expression but didn't point it out.
He placed the plate directly on the dining table, attracting Chen Shunwei's attention, which kept drifting towards them.
Chen Shunwei was stunned until all the dishes were served.
This is quite a lavish affair! It feels even more extravagant than what he ate during Chinese New Year.
No wonder people say that Lao Shen is a spendthrift; it turns out this is a common problem for the couple!
"What are you standing there for? Eat up!" Shen Yanming pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Chen Shunwei and said.
Chen Shunwei picked up his chopsticks in a daze, but still didn't dare to pick up the braised pork in front of him.
Seeing this, Shen Yanming directly used serving chopsticks to scoop a bunch of food into his bowl.
They have everything: braised pork belly, garlic shrimp, tomato and egg stir-fry, wood ear mushrooms and lotus root slices, shiitake mushrooms and dried bamboo shoots, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and more.
Chen Shunwei felt his bowl of rice was about to overflow, and quickly refused, saying, "That's enough, I can't eat any more. Besides, you two are going to ruin this meal?"
Bi Qiaoan...
I feel like I've already toned it down, but did I still go too far?
Shen Yanming quickly defended his wife, saying, "Look at it, apart from the meat being a bit difficult to get, the rest are either things we grow ourselves or raise ourselves, or dried goods. What's so difficult about it? It's just to fool someone like you who doesn't know the inside story."
Chen Shunwei was taken aback, then looked at it again. It didn't seem like anything special.
So, shedding her mental burden, she started eating heartily.
Seeing this, Shen Yanming breathed a sigh of relief, then ate half a bowl of food himself and took it back to his bedroom to eat.
