Only after the kitchen fell silent did Chi Kang-yong realize what he had done.
That was so reckless! If An'an and Nuannuan were to contract impetigo, I would be utterly responsible!
He stood frozen in place, anxiously awaiting the judgment of Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan.
The couple just glanced at it and didn't say anything.
"Well, I just really like them, that's why I hugged them. I only touched their clothes, not their hands or faces," Ji Kangyong said nervously.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "It's okay, my baby has a strong immune system and shouldn't get sick. Besides, you've already used suppressants, which can greatly reduce the infection rate."
Although they knew what was going on, what mother wouldn't take it seriously? Shen Yanming felt it wasn't proper, so he quickly took the two children down, saying, "I'll get you some medicine next time before you hold them."
Ji Kangyong was somewhat disappointed, but he also knew that this was to be expected.
He nodded. "Okay, I'll hug you when I'm better!"
Shen Yanming joked with him, "If you like children, find a wife and have one."
Ji Kangyong shook his head. "It's not that easy to find." Then he rubbed his temples, his head aching at the thought of something.
Seeing his expression, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan dared not tease him anymore.
She laughed and changed the subject: "I originally wanted to take the two kids on a picnic, but then I thought about how it was cold and boring outside, and we don't have much good food at home. After hesitating for a while, I decided to give up." Even though she has the space, she can't reveal it, can she?
"It's okay, we'll go in April when spring is in full bloom."
"Okay, okay, it's just that my two little darlings have to suffer. I'm sorry I didn't keep my promise, honey!" Bi Qiaoan didn't try to fool them just because they were young.
But An'an and Nuannuan didn't understand what was going on at all. They looked at Bi Qiaoan blankly, then pointed at the hot pot with a grin, wanting to eat!
Well, her deep affection went unanswered, so Bi Qiaoan could only sigh and pick one up to feed it.
What kind of food is it? Fruit puree!
Want some hot pot? Well, you'll have to wait, no way!
An'an and Nuannuan pouted, wanting to cry, but after being glared at by their mother, they obediently shut their mouths.
Fortunately, the sweet and sour fruit puree was quite delicious. It should be no worse than what the adults eat, right?
The men were amused by the two kids' expressions, realizing that having two such quirky little creatures at home was truly joyful.
Therefore, Zhang Heping decided to go back to the hospital to urge them to get married again.
After lunch, Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong didn't stay long and went home for a nap.
Shen Yanming thought for a moment and said, "We'll head back in the late afternoon. We won't say goodbye to you two before we leave."
"Alright, it's safer to go back early and avoid traveling at night. We're getting ready to head back to our unit too. Next time you bring An'an and Nuannuan over, be sure to call ahead."
Shen Yanming nodded, "Don't worry, the weather will be warmer when we come back next time. There will be plenty of vegetables for our gathering."
Zhang Heping's smile was like that of a rat stealing oil, looking particularly lewd.
Ji Kangyong slapped him on the forehead and said, "Don't worry too much about us, take care of Qiao An and the two babies first."
Zhang Heping also realized what was going on and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's right. We can all make do in the cafeteria, but you have three precious children to protect at home. That's a heavy responsibility on your shoulders!"
Shen Yanming smiled gently: "It's alright, I can support my family."
Zhang Heping and Ji Kangyong didn't argue with him; they simply waved and left.
Shen Yanming closed the door and asked his wife, "Shall we rest for a while, or leave now?"
"Since there's nothing much to do here, let's pack up and go shopping."
It's been two years since I last went to a shopping mall or supermarket. I wonder if the scene of dazzling goods and bustling crowds from before the apocalypse still exists.
“We haven’t met the two kids yet, shall we take them to experience shopping?” Bi Qiaoan said.
Shen Yanming thought this was a good idea; otherwise, if a major collapse were to occur one day, his children would never have the chance to witness a peaceful and prosperous era.
Without further ado, the couple took turns watching the child and tidying up the house. After washing and putting away the pots and pans, closing the doors and windows, they took their slightly sleepy little one out the door.
An'an and Nuannuan didn't know what to do, and in their daze, they closed their eyes.
Bi Qiaoan didn't care about them. Anyway, it would take half an hour to get some sleep.
They drove on and soon arrived at Times Square. After parking in the underground parking lot, the couple gently woke up their two children and carried them out of the car once they were alert.
The unfamiliar scene instantly attracted the two children's attention. Although they had seen cars before, they had never seen so many cars.
The couple wandered around the parking lot before entering a dark passageway.
The two children instantly tensed up, clinging to their parents' collars and refusing to move.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and reassured them, "It's okay, we're just looking for the elevator."
Soon, the room brightened up. It was a small, elegant cubicle with two large, silver-white metal doors.
Shen Yanming reached out and pressed the upstairs button. Not long after, he heard a slight rumble, and the elevator arrived.
The couple, holding their two children, sat inside, pressed the floor button, and went outside to find themselves at the supermarket entrance.
There weren't many people here, but there were also quite a few. Most of them were thin, but seemed to be in good spirits.
The couple pushed a shopping cart and put their two children in the basket.
The two kids clung to the stainless steel frame, peering out through the perforations—a truly novel experience.
There were many unfamiliar uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters outside, but Mom and Dad didn't greet them, so it seems they didn't know them.
Upon entering the supermarket, the shelves were overflowing with goods, captivating the two children. An'an and Nuannuan turned to look at their father, as if to say that there were even more things here than in their dreams.
If Shen Yanming knew, he would definitely say, "Child, you're too young to have seen such a small place. The supplies in Dad's space are many, many times more than this supermarket."
The reason it looks like there's not much is simply to save space; they weren't even displayed. The boxes are stacked in the corner, and you wouldn't know what's inside unless you open them.
Bi Qiaoan patted her two children: "Whatever you want today, Mom and Dad will buy it for you." The credit limit was expiring anyway, so she might as well use it to fulfill the children's wishes.
Bi Qiaoan's boastful words about being rich and powerful earned her several eye rolls.
Some people think she's exaggerating, some think she doesn't know how to manage a household, and others are jealous that she has such a good husband and baby.
In short, there are many and it's very complicated.
Bi Qiaoan didn't pay attention, but Shen Yanming noticed the pointing and whispering of others.
He laughed and said, "Honey, even though we live far away, we don't need to use up the entire credit limit at once. We can just come over another day."
Bi Qiaoan didn't react immediately and said in confusion, "I haven't gone shopping for two years. If I don't take advantage of this time to buy more, I don't know when I'll be back."
