The next day, Shen Yanming got up early and picked a lot of wild vegetables with Jin Guihua before going back to pick up Bi Qiaoan.
"Are you all packed? If so, let's get ready to leave," Shen Yanming said.
Bi Qiaoan nodded and dressed the two children. "Where are we going now?"
"It's getting late, let's go back to the capital. We need to attend Li Zhaozhao's wedding."
"Hmm, then let's go directly from Beijing back to Haishi?"
Shen Yanming thought for a moment, "Let's make a detour to Yangyi Island and take the two kids to see the sea."
“Okay!” Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
The two kids were still half asleep, but when they heard "sea," they instantly perked up.
"Dad, is it the blue sea?"
"yes."
"Are there fish in the sea? Can we go fishing?"
Shen Yanming nodded: "Sure, we can go beachcombing and collect small crabs on the beach after the tide goes out."
Shen Yanming talked about many entertainment activities, which made the two children's eyes sparkle with excitement.
Bi Qiaoan ignored the three of them and scanned her surroundings again to see if she had missed anything.
Oh, right, there are also bed sheets and a small blanket. She winked at Shen Yanming and then folded the things on the bed.
After everything was packed up, Bi Qiaoan patted Shen Yanming on the shoulder: "Alright, we can leave now."
"Alright, let's go say goodbye to Aunt Guihua."
The couple took their two little ones to say goodbye to Jin Guihua. Although Aunt Guihua didn't try to stop them, she kept wiping away tears.
That's how it is when people get old; you don't know if you'll live to see tomorrow, so you cherish every moment you spend together, even if it's with strangers you've only known for a day.
In the car, Bi Qiaoan said to Shen Yanming, "Seeing Aunt Guihua like that makes me a little sad."
Shen Yanming sighed, "Perhaps we will never come here again in this lifetime."
The couple remained silent.
Yes, things are different now than before. Every trip out carries enormous risks. Who would go out if there was nothing wrong?
"Alright, stop thinking about it. Life goes on." Shen Yanming wanted to pat the other person's head, but found that he was driving in the driver's seat and couldn't reach the mother and three in the back seat at all.
However, after observing the surroundings and seeing that there wasn't even a telephone pole on the dirt path, he stretched his right hand behind him and said, "I'll get some food for you and the three of you. Here you go."
Bi Qiaoan nodded and placed her hand under his large hand: "Take it."
Shen Yanming took out a serving of steamed buns, two bottles of milk, and a box of fruit salad from his spatial storage. Bi Qiaoan thought that was enough and quickly called out, "That's enough, that's enough. Have you eaten?"
“I ate it. I ate it with Aunt Guihua this morning.”
Bi Qiaoan was taken aback. "You ate someone else's food again?"
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "Well, I did give Aunt Guihua ten catties of rice."
Bi Qiaoan...
Suddenly I don't know what to say.
After a long while, she leaned on the front seat and said, "Honey, do you think Aunt Guihua cried because she couldn't bear to part with us two suckers?"
Shen Yanming... "You're overthinking it!"
The family of four stopped at the side of the road around noon, had a nice lunch, took a nap, and then continued driving towards the capital.
Of course, Bi Qiaoan also managed to sow a lot of seeds in the fields whenever she could find a spare moment along the way. Some were spiritual seeds, while others were ordinary hybrids. But no matter what they were, they were all much better than the grains currently available in Qinghua Kingdom.
While she was "playing with the soil," she also planted a lot of potatoes and sweet potatoes. Although these two are not as conspicuous as other spiritual seeds, they have a high yield, and if they can be widely cultivated, it would be equivalent to solving the food crisis in Qinghua Kingdom.
Watching her movements, Shen Yanming felt it was about time, so he called Bi Qiaoan to get in the car. Without stopping, they drove straight to the capital.
By the time we arrived in the capital, it was already 7:30 pm.
Shen Yanming called Qiu Man to ask where he was. Unexpectedly, Qiu Man was still working overtime in the building.
"Why did you call me today?" Qiu Man was quite surprised. He held his phone in one hand and flipped through documents with the other.
Shen Yanming smiled and said, "I've come to the capital and brought you some things. If you have time, you can come and pick them up. Or, I can deliver them to you?"
Qiu Man was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "Why did you come over?"
"Yes, I brought the two kids out to broaden their horizons."
Where are you now?
Shen Yanming glanced at the road sign, "Just off the highway, on Chengjiu Road."
Qiu Man nodded. "Can you find Qinghe Building? If so, come this way. I'll come down to meet you in about half an hour."
Shen Yanming glanced at the navigation. "Okay, I'll call you when I arrive."
After agreeing on the terms, the two hung up the phone. Shen Yanming followed the navigation and soon arrived at Qinghe Building.
If there's one good thing about the apocalypse, it's that there are fewer cars! Before the apocalypse, at this time of day, it would probably take two or three hours to drive there.
Shen Yanming parked his car some distance away, looking at the brightly lit Qinghe Building, and deeply felt that the big shots had it tough. The guards at the entrance were dutiful, their eyes filled with wariness as they looked at Shen Yanming.
Comrade Shen sighed and sat back in the car. He didn't plan to call Qiu Man, fearing he was busy.
Qiu Man was quite busy at this time. He went to report that Chief Alliance Officer Li was very interested in Shen Yanming and said that if possible, he should invite him up for a meeting.
Qiu Man was quite surprised, thinking that Shen Yanming wouldn't refuse such a rare opportunity, so she went downstairs to the security office to register.
Before the registration was even completed, they received instructions from Chief Li: "Little Shen has helped us quite a few times in secret. Take a look and have Old Xu make some preparations, and also give him an injection of a sunscreen."
Qiu Man nodded: "Okay, I'll contact Dean Xu right away."
So, even though he put down his work from the beginning, after all that back and forth, it was almost nine o'clock when he finally left the building.
Seeing a car parked across the street, he raised his hand and waved for it to move aside.
Upon seeing the familiar figure, Shen Yanming turned on his car lights and drove over.
"Mr. Qiu, it's been a long time." Shen Yanming got out of the car and greeted Qiu Man.
"Yes, yes, I really didn't expect you to come to the capital at this time."
"It was just a coincidence. I brought the kids out for a stroll, and when we got here, we thought we'd come and see you." Shen Yanming said, opening the back door of the car and taking out An'an. Then he went around to the other side and took out Nuannuan.
Bi Qiaoan then got out of the back seat: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiu, my two darlings are sitting on the side. If they don't get out, I can't get out either." So, it's not that I'm being disrespectful to you.
Qiu Man smiled, not particularly concerned. However, he still peeked out and, seeing the safety baskets fixed to the seats on both sides, nodded.
"An'an and Nuannuan, come and say hello to Uncle Qiu," Shen Yanming said with a smile.
The two kids weren't shy at all, and greeted each other confidently, "Hello, Uncle!"
