"Alright, stop arguing. We'll meet here at 10:30 tomorrow night, is that alright?" Guo Tingshuo asked with a smile.
"No problem, Captain, I'll do as you say!"
"Okay, it's settled then."
"By the way, how's everything going? How much longer do you estimate it will take?"
"It should only take two days, I'll definitely be able to finish it."
"Me too, it should be done in about two nights. If all else fails, I'll come over on the third night to finish it off."
Guo Tingshuo nodded, "Then let's try to get it done within two days. If that's not possible, we'll postpone it for another day. But as you know, we can't afford to make mistakes in our work, so don't just focus on speed."
Everyone nodded, indicating that they understood.
For the next few hours, no one was in the mood to work. They started chatting idly, sharing the gossip they had heard.
Shen Yanming didn't say much, but listened attentively and sorted out the key points he heard.
It wasn't until Guo Tingshuo shared some news that he straightened up.
"I heard that the next batch of workers we recruit will be sent abroad."
"Huh? Why send them abroad?"
"Clearing the land, along with those from our country who have been sentenced."
"Uh, who came up with this wicked idea? Brilliant!"
"But it's not certain yet. It's just that the higher-ups have this idea. They say that those prisoners are too resentful in the country and don't work hard, so it's better to send them abroad. Without their support, they'll know how to work hard."
Once their sentences are served, if they want to come back, the alliance will allow them to return. If they don't want to come back, they can settle down abroad.
"What about the newly recruited guards?"
"Leading prisoners to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land."
"Aren't you afraid they'll run away or rebel?"
"Of course there are other measures. A group of guards will definitely go with them, and agreements will likely be signed with other countries to use their military force for protection."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yanming had only one feeling: it was similar to what Qiao An had described as a "colony."
If it can actually be implemented, it would be a good thing.
At the very least, it can revitalize those surplus lands abroad. Once the crops are grown, it will benefit several parties.
Just as he was lost in thought, he felt someone poke his arm with their finger.
Shen Yanming snapped out of his daze and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I just wanted to ask you, have you talked to your friend about the job offer? If it really involves going abroad, would your friend go?"
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head: "I've already said that. But one thing is for sure, he's not going abroad."
Guo Tingshuo was surprised by Shen Yanming's resolute answer. He reminded him, "I heard that even if you are assigned to work abroad, it's only for a year or two. When the time is up, you will come back, and new laborers will be sent over."
Right now, you might think the opportunity is so-so. But you have to understand that they haven't been hiring for the past few years, and who knows if they'll even start hiring again in the future.
Shen Yanming nodded: "I know, it's a rare opportunity. But my friend's mother just had a serious illness. If he were in China, he could go home to visit every few days, but if he goes abroad, he won't see her for a year or two, and he'll worry. Even his parents might not agree."
Shen Yanming was talking about practical issues, so Guo Tingshuo fell silent for a moment.
There was one more thing Shen Yanming didn't mention: "Don't you have any idea what the future holds? What if we encounter some major disaster and can't come back?"
However, seeing a group of guards with lofty ideals in front of him, he didn't dare to reveal his true thoughts.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Yanming said, "It's alright, I'll relay what he said to him. Anyway, there's still time; he can discuss it with his family."
Guo Tingshuo nodded. "Yes, but remind him not to give up yet. This is just an idea from higher-ups; it hasn't been finalized yet. There might be a change in the situation."
"Okay, I understand."
The group stayed until sunset before locking the door and leaving.
Shen Yanming hurriedly returned to his dormitory and saw Bi Qiaoan sitting in the living room waiting for him.
"You're back! Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" Bi Qiaoan hadn't been this gentle in a long time, which made Shen Yanming feel flattered.
He smiled and shook his head. "I'm not hungry, I ate a lot tonight. It's just that being confined to that small room for over ten hours was exhausting and uncomfortable!"
Shen Yanming turned off the living room lights, stepped forward and put his arm around his wife: "Come on, let's go into the space."
Bi Qiaoan had no doubts and led him directly into the mobile villa.
Then she realized that the wolf's goal was to eat her!
Wow, what a surprise! Hehe, I'm actually looking forward to it!
Although I said no, I still missed her in my heart. It's been such a long, long, long time since we've been together.
However, in order not to affect Bi Qiaoan's impression, Shen Yanming still asked his wife to get him a spiritual strawberry.
Not long after I ate it, the pimples on my face disappeared.
With his handsome looks restored, Shen Yanming naturally became even more charming in his wife's eyes.
The two made sauce in the bathroom, then in the study, and finally in the living room and kitchen.
In short, I didn't go back to the master bedroom.
There are two little babies inside. If they hear or see this, it will have a bad influence.
Afterwards, the two embraced tightly, feeling extremely satisfied. This was a satisfaction they had never experienced before having children.
Perhaps it's because it's been so long since I've had this experience that my senses have been greatly heightened?
Of course, Shen Yanming also had a little scheme in his mind: "Maybe it was the spiritual strawberry that enhanced one of my abilities, which is why my wife is so docile and helpless in my arms. Hehehe!"
The next day, the two slept in very late, so late that the two little ones cried for a while before they finally got up.
This is the aftereffect of overindulging in something; not only are you exhausted, but even a few hours of sleep can't help you recover!
Shen Yanming kissed his wife's rosy lips, reluctant to leave, but had no choice but to get out of bed and change the diapers for their two babies.
After cleaning up, he carried An'an and Nuannuan to his wife's side so she could breastfeed them.
He himself didn't leave either, just staring intently at the two babies' smacking little mouths, finding them extremely cute.
Thinking about how he had done the same thing as them last night, a somewhat lewd smile appeared on his face, making Bi Qiaoan exclaim, "I can't bear to look!"
After taking care of the two babies, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan left the bedroom to prepare breakfast.
Actually, calling it breakfast isn't quite right, since it's already 9:30. It's more like brunch, mid-morning.
Remembering what Guo Tingshuo had mentioned yesterday, Shen Yanming slapped his forehead. How could he have forgotten to call Zeng Yiming again?
Is he out of his mind, only thinking about doing this and that with his wife, and always forgetting about important matters?
Thinking of this, Shen Yanming's cheeks flushed slightly.
I told my wife, then rode my electric scooter to the storage area and used the space.
