Did you know that you can't just make a promise lightly? It will fall!
Just like Guo Tingshuo confidently said, "I can continue my vacation after I finish my work," but in reality, well...
Shen Yanming and his team actually finished all the work on the second night.
Guo Tingshuo announced that he would continue his vacation, and then everyone cheered and went home.
After that, he spent his days at home taking care of his wife, son, and daughter.
Although there are only a few tasks every day, Comrade Shen enjoys them immensely and finds them much more interesting than going to work.
That day, the two were planning to make some more strawberry jam in their virtual space when their phone rang.
Bi Qiaoan instinctively threw Shen Yanming out, but it turned out to be Hu Xiaoqin calling to ask if it was convenient for them to come over and pick up the milk powder.
Actually, Hu Xiaoqin didn't know the couple's address yet. At that time, their relationship was merely that of a receptionist and a client. They exchanged contact information and Hu Xiaoqin's temporary address.
As for Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan, that's their private matter; even the residents of Beiha City don't know about it.
Comrade Shen didn't call his wife; he figured he could handle it himself. After telling the two of them to wait at the guard post, he called his wife to pull him into his spatial dimension.
After discussing it, we decided to give the other person a jar of strawberry jam and two pounds of dried red dates.
As for other things, they have them, but their relationship hasn't reached that level.
Half an hour later, Shen Yanming finally emerged from the space. After putting on a mask and changing his appearance, he went to the guardhouse entrance.
Since Hu Xiaoqin and Xie Guimin hadn't arrived yet, Shen Yanming chatted briefly with the guards on duty at the gate.
Shen Yanming only walked out of the duty room when he saw a small pickup truck approaching in the distance.
Upon closer inspection, the person sitting in the passenger seat was none other than Hu Xiaoqin.
She looked much more prosperous and relaxed than when I saw her last winter. However, the numerous pustules on her face somewhat diminished her former elegance.
Hu Xiaoqin also saw Shen Yanming. Although he was wearing a mask and a wide-brimmed hat, she could recognize him just by looking at his build.
There's no way around it; in terms of appearance, she certainly has the looks to be alluring.
After getting out of the car, Hu Xiaoqin pulled Xie Guimin aside and introduced him to Shen Yanming: "This is my husband, his surname is Xie, Xie Guimin!"
Shen Yanming didn't mind the other person's pus-filled hands and went straight up to shake them.
"Hello, I am Shen Yanming. I know Hu Xiaoqin because I was the receptionist for this group of people seeking refuge from the cold."
Xie Guimin is about 175 cm tall, and his face, which is covered with pustules, gives him an honest and simple appearance.
However, she must be quite old, with a face full of wrinkles, making her look like she's from a different generation from Hu Xiaoqin.
When Xie Guimin heard Shen Yanming introduce himself like this, he said honestly, "I know. Xiaoqin told me that she was very grateful for your care, otherwise I would not have been able to marry such a good wife."
Shen Yanming smiled, guessing that Xie Qiaoan had inquired about Hu Xiaoqin's household registration.
He waved his hand and said, "It's the two of you who will live your lives. Just manage it well and be happy."
"Oh, I know!"
In Xie Guimin's mind, the guards were all capable people. So what Shen Yanming said was naturally correct.
He was quite pleased; he hadn't expected Hu Xiaoqin's friend to be so approachable to a farmer like him. Before coming, he had been prepared to be ridiculed and mocked.
After Shen Yanming asked them for their identification and registered them, he took the two to the parking lot.
They weren't asked to leave; they were just told to wait in the car.
"Because outsiders aren't allowed in the agricultural area, I'll go alone to change your formula. But don't worry, I'll bring a receipt. There's absolutely no kickback involved."
Upon hearing this, Xie Guimin quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, you've already kindly helped us change the formula, would you really cheat us for such a small profit?"
What we were really thinking was, "Even if you take kickbacks, there's nothing we can do. We'll definitely take the goods anyway. We just hope the kickbacks are small and not too exorbitant."
Hu Xiaoqin had met the couple before and knew they wouldn't care about such things at all. So she smiled and said, "It's okay, we trust you. We just need to trouble you to deliver it."
"No trouble at all. Since we promised, we'll definitely do it. It's like my husband and I are doing a good deed for the baby." Shen Yanming smiled gently, and you could see the love he had for his child in his eyes.
Hu Xiaoqin then realized she hadn't asked Qiao An and the two children yet. She said, "Is Qiao An at home? How is she? You had two..."
Shen Yanming chimed in, "We have twins, both boys and girls."
To avoid trouble, Shen Yanming simply said that Qiao An was still in her postpartum confinement period and it was inconvenient for her to entertain guests. He would invite the couple over when she was free after her confinement period.
These were just polite words, and Hu Xiaoqin and Xie Guimin could both tell that.
Shen Yanming didn't say much. He drove his car over and asked Xie Guimin to help him put the grain into the trunk before going to find Ye Wengui.
Before leaving, he checked with the couple again. Seeing that they firmly shook their heads, he didn't try to persuade them any further.
When he arrived at Ye Wengui with a cartload of grain, Ye Wengui immediately told the young soldier to fetch milk powder without saying a word.
Then weigh them carefully and exchange them according to the weight of the grain.
The last batch of wheat was a few ounces short, so Ye Wengui took the change and gave them an extra can.
Feeling embarrassed, Shen Yanming simply took a bottle of strawberry jam from the car and gave it to Ye Wengui.
It also implies a desire to be on good terms.
Ye Wengui accepted it with a smile and said, "I'm actually taking advantage of you here."
"No, no, it's all mutual," Shen Yanming said with a smile, waving his hand.
Finally, I pulled two boxes containing twenty-four cans of milk powder back to the parking lot.
On the way, Shen Yanming kept thinking that the guards were treated quite well.
For example, he and his wife exchanged their two years' worth of vegetable allowance for these twenty-four cans.
When the milk powder was handed to Hu Xiaoqin and her husband, the elderly couple almost cried with emotion. They thanked them repeatedly, making Shen Yanming feel embarrassed.
Finally, she took out a jar of strawberry jam and two pounds of dried red dates from the car and handed them to the other person, saying, "This is what my wife prepared for you. She said it will be useful during your pregnancy and postpartum period. I wish you a healthy and lovely baby."
After Hu Xiaoqin took it, she didn't know what to say.
She only thought the other party had connections and wanted to ask them for help. But she didn't even prepare a thank-you gift.
In the end, it was someone else who helped her, and considering that she was pregnant, they gave her a lot of nice things.
Shen Yanming had no interest in basking in the sun and catching up with the couple in the parking lot, so he said, "Let's go, I'll see you to the door."
Xie Guimin nodded: "Okay, get in the car!"
After seeing the two off, Shen Yanming went home.
Meanwhile, Xie Guimin and Hu Xiaoqin, who were in the car, had no idea what kind of surprise awaited them.
When the two arrived home and opened the milk powder box, Xie Guimin found that there was an extra can inside.
Then, upon looking at the receipt, I discovered that not only did they not receive any kickback, but they even gave me a few extra coins.
