After lunch, the family of four took a nice nap.
In the late afternoon, when the sun wasn't so strong, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan took their two children to Qingning Mountain.
The snow here hasn't melted long ago, so it still looks bare. But some small grasses have already sprouted.
An An and Nuan Nuan were quite happy at first, but when they looked at the uninteresting little hill, they couldn't hide their disappointment.
The couple didn't care. That's just how the world is these days. Winter has just passed, spring has just arrived, and everything hasn't recovered yet.
Opening the wire gate to his own field, he saw lush green wheat seedlings, only an inch tall. Although they weren't tall, Shen Yanming was extremely satisfied.
"Not bad, better than I expected." Looking around, the fields were scattered everywhere, and his own land was already growing very well.
However, there are still some sparse areas.
Shen Yanming walked around his own field and felt more confident. After asking An'an and Nuan'nuan and learning that they wanted to go home, he took the two children and went back.
Shen Yanming led the three of them back to the underground parking garage, put down the two babies, and took a storage box out of the car.
Bi Qiaoan took her two children in the elevator, and the family of four went home to prepare dinner.
"Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong will be coming over tonight."
"Then let's do something nice for them."
The couple put the durian out of the kitchen, opened the window to ventilate, and then took out potatoes, sweet potatoes, leafy greens, a chicken, and a rabbit from the storage box.
They were all made by Bi Qiaoanzai; his skills are now incredibly good.
Shen Yanming didn't prepare anything too complicated; he just made a stewed chicken with potatoes, a spicy rabbit dish, and a stir-fried vegetable dish.
The staple food is rice, which can be easily cooked in a rice cooker without much effort.
With drool dripping from their mouths, An'an and Nuannuan asked Shen Yanming, "Dad, can we eat this?"
"They can only eat a little bit." Although their baby is developing very quickly, the couple still doesn't dare to let them eat freely.
An'an and Nuannuan were a little disappointed, but it was much better than before when they wouldn't even let anyone touch them.
The two ran away, and Shen Yanming put the prepared food into his spatial storage and then closed the kitchen door.
Around 7 p.m., the doorbell rang. Shen Yanming opened the door and saw Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong standing there.
Zhang Heping, still smiling, asked Shen Yanming, "Old Shen, what's good to eat today?"
Ji Kangyong remained calm, keeping a straight face and saying nothing.
Shen Yanming didn't answer, but let the two of them in. "Go wash your hands first, then we'll eat. Everything will be ready for you."
The two nodded, changed their shoes, and went to the bathroom together.
Shen Yanming slipped into the kitchen, quickly put out the food, opened the rice cooker, and scooped out several bowls of rice.
After washing his hands, Zhang Heping didn't rush to the kitchen. He was overjoyed to see An'an and Nuannuan eating steamed egg custard.
He stepped forward, picked up An'an, and kissed her. "Our little An'an, do you still remember Uncle Heping?"
An'an smiled sweetly, "Hello, Uncle!"
Nuannuan quickly greeted Zhang Heping as well.
"Oh, so good!" He held one in each arm and sat down on the sofa without moving.
When Ji Kangyong came out later, he was extremely jealous when he saw this scene. He also wanted to hold the baby, but he didn't dare.
Seeing the expectation in his eyes, Bi Qiaoan waved to him, "Come here, the two babies haven't met you yet."
Ji Kangyong nodded, walked over, squatted down, and said excitedly, "Hello, I'm your Uncle Kangyong."
An'an looked at Ji Kangyong with curiosity, then smiled and said, "Hello, Uncle!"
Bi Qiaoan asked Ji Kangyong, "Want a hug?"
Before Ji Kangyong could speak, Zhang Heping pushed him aside: "Hey Lao Ji, you can't be impulsive. The two babies are still small and have low resistance, they can't be held by you."
Ji Kangyong's burning passion faltered, and he shook his head with a wry smile: "He Ping is right, I'm not suited to having two kids."
Bi Qiaoan wanted to say it was okay, but thinking of her family's secret, she kept quiet.
However, she said, "It seems my husband has gotten another bottle of medicine. Ask him later if he brought it over."
Ji Kangyong nodded, but didn't intend to ask. He knew how effective the medicine was and how precious it must be. He couldn't let Old Shen keep supplying it to him.
Shen Yanming waited in the kitchen for ages, but no one came to help. He frowned and came out. "What are you all talking about? Come and get the food! Can't we talk while we eat?"
Ji Kangyong hurriedly fled to the kitchen and brought out a white porcelain basin the size of a washbasin. It was filled with stewed chicken and potatoes, and it looked so appetizing.
After Zhang Heping glanced at it, his stomach rumbled in perfect unison, and then he picked up An'an and sat down at the dining table without any hesitation.
"Old Shen, get me a bowl, I need to feed our precious An'an!"
Shen Yanming rolled his eyes and said, "Babies shouldn't eat too much meat."
Zhang Heping paused for a moment, then said somewhat hesitantly, "Then I'll feed An'an egg custard."
Bi Qiaoan chuckled, handed the bottom of the bowl to Zhang Heping, and hugged Nuannuan, saying, "Mommy will make you fruit puree in a little while."
Nuannuan nodded, not angry at all. Hearing this, An'an refused to eat the steamed egg custard Zhang Heping was feeding her.
"Oh my little cutie, why aren't you eating yet? Don't worry, your mom made it for your sister, so you'll definitely get some too."
An An looked at Bi Qiao An, wanting to confirm with her. Seeing Bi Qiao An nod, An An began to eat heartily.
It took Ji Kangyong and Shen Yanming two trips to finally bring all the food to the table. Old Ji sat down next to Zhang Heping, kicked him, and said disdainfully, "All you do is eat what's served to you!"
Zhang Heping was not ashamed at all, but rather proud: "Hey, the fact that I can eat what's readily available means I'm lucky!"
The group was just joking around and didn't take it seriously, quickly joining the "Clean Plate Campaign." Despite Shen Yanming doing a lot, the two, who hadn't had a proper meal in months, had huge appetites.
"Old Shen's food is still the most delicious. Even if I cook for myself, I can't make it this good," Zhang Heping said, wiping his greasy mouth with a tissue.
Ji Kangyong nodded, "This meat is smooth and tender, and not fishy or gamey at all."
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "They probably marinated it with cooking wine and ginger when they were being processed." He made no mention of how much better the animals that grew in the space tasted.
"By the way, Lao Shen, what brings you back today?" After finishing his meal, Zhang Heping patted his bulging belly and asked.
"I was bored at the guard post, so I brought the two kids out for a stroll. While I was at it, I replanted the patches of land that hadn't sprouted yet."
Zhang Heping put away his nonchalance. "Isn't it a bit early?" Winter had just ended, and the temperature was still hovering around seven or eight degrees Celsius.
Shen Yanming chuckled: "I was just guessing. Last year, the temperature suddenly rose to over 20 degrees Celsius at the end of March, so I'm afraid it will happen again this year."
"Yes, everyone switched to short sleeves and long skirts at the end of March last year." Zhang Heping remembers this vividly because there was an earthquake at that time.
"If that's the case, replanting now isn't a big deal. But what are you planning to plant?"
