After Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan left, they did not go straight home, but instead went to Li Zhaozhao's house.
On the way, the couple turned into a corner. Shen Yanming took out a dagger and cut the wild boar meat in two.
"I'll go over by myself in a bit. You wait here. We'll just say a few words and then head back," Shen Yanming said, taking a bag out of his bag and putting in a piece of wild boar meat and a fish.
"Won't he invite you in for a chat?" Bi Qiaoan asked.
Shen Yanming smiled and shook his head: "They'll probably say a few polite words, but I'll refuse. If I were to be with them in the middle of the night, Li Zhaozhao and Xu Yajing would probably feel very awkward."
"Alright, let's go and come back quickly."
"Um."
Twenty minutes later, the two arrived at the dormitory building where Li Zhaozhao lived. Bi Qiaoan stood under the streetlight looking at the basket, while Shen Yanming carried the paper bag upstairs.
"Knock, knock, knock!" Shen Yanming gently knocked on the door, and after a short while, he heard Li Zhaozhao's voice from inside: "Coming!"
Two minutes later, the door opened. Shen Yanming saw Li Zhaozhao tug at his clothes, his face slightly flushed. He squeezed out through the narrow crack in the door, gave an awkward smile, and didn't invite Shen Yanming inside.
"Why are you here so late at night?" he asked.
Shen Yanming didn't waste any words and handed him the bag: "I brought you some meat."
Li Zhaozhao was silent for a moment, his feelings somewhat complicated. He took the bag and asked, "What kind of meat is this? It looks quite fresh."
“Wild boar meat and fish,” Shen Yanming replied.
Li Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise, "You went hunting?"
Shen Yanming didn't hide anything: "Yes, we encountered a pack of wolves, and it was a near-death experience."
Li Zhaozhao's question, "Why didn't you call me?" stuck in his throat, neither coming out nor coming out.
Before he could ask any more questions, Shen Yanming said, "Then I'll go back."
"Okay." Li Zhaozhao nodded.
Shen Yanming smiled and turned around. Li Zhaozhao watched his retreating figure grow smaller and smaller, and as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he called out, "Thank you!"
Thank you for bringing the meat today. Thank you for building a kang (heated brick bed) for my parents, so they wouldn't freeze to death.
Shen Yanming waved his hand dismissively and left.
When I went downstairs, I found my wife kicking the snow listlessly.
He smiled, carrying a basket in one hand and holding Bi Qiaoan's hand in the other: "Let's go home."
Bi Qiaoan nodded: "Why didn't you stay longer? You came down much earlier than I expected."
Shen Yanming smiled slightly and said, "It seems I've interrupted someone's good time."
Bi Qiaoan was stunned for a moment, then suppressed a laugh and tilted her head to look at him: "So, you didn't even go inside?"
Shen Yanming paused, then squeezed her hand tightly: "I think we should also have a deeper discussion about our relationship."
Bi Qiaoan understood the hidden meaning in his words and remained silent. Only when they were almost home did she say, "You're still injured."
"It's my hand that's injured, not somewhere else, so it won't affect anything."
Bi Qiaoan: "...Okay!"
The two locked the door, put the baskets into the storage area, and then went into the space together.
An'an and Nuannuan were sleeping soundly, so they didn't bother the couple who were fighting.
The two engaged in several rounds of harmonious sexual activity until they were exhausted, at which point they fell into a deep sleep in each other's arms.
The next day, while Wen Mengguan was discussing how to deal with the dozens of wolves in the conference room, he received a call from the capital.
"The Lunar New Year is almost here, so I'd like to wish you a happy new year in advance. I hope you have a successful year ahead and a happy life," Qiu Man said with a smile.
Wen Mengguan was surprised and nodded: "Yes, thank you. I also wish you good health, all the best, and that our alliance will prosper."
"Thank you for your blessings." Qiu Man smiled. "To encourage everyone to live a positive life, General Li has decided to distribute a batch of supplies to each base so that everyone can have a good New Year."
Upon hearing this, Wen Mengguan stood up excitedly and asked incredulously, "Really? You mean it? What is it?"
"The specifics haven't been finalized yet. After all, space artifacts aren't so fixed. A helicopter will be going over in a couple of days. We'll notify you in advance, so please make sure to pick it up," Qiu Man said with a smile.
"Okay, thank you!" Wen Mengguan said and then hung up the phone.
Two days later, Wen Mengguan received another call. He was told that the helicopter had taken off and that he should prepare.
Wen Mengguan raised an eyebrow: "So fast?"
"Yes, there are only three days left until the New Year. If we don't hurry, we'll miss the New Year's Eve dinner. Have someone wait for us on the tarmac beforehand. After delivering to Haishi, we still need to deliver to other places, so don't waste time."
"Okay, don't worry, I'll make sure everything is ready."
Wen Mengguan summoned Jiang Shulian and asked him to make the arrangements.
Half an hour later, a team of guards waited on the tarmac, chatting with each other.
"What do you think they'll send from the capital?"
"It's probably just some grains and vegetables, maybe some meat and eggs. Anyway, from what they've said, they just want us to have a good New Year."
"I think it might be something special. The space broadcasts live every week, and besides the grains and vegetables, what I'm most interested in is the fruit. I haven't had any properly eaten fruit in two or three years, and I really hope that the capital can send us a batch of fresh fruit."
"Ha, what are you thinking? Even if they were sent over, how many could they send? The space of a spatial ability user isn't very large, and the production is limited. After distributing them among the various bases, that's about it. Let's not have too high expectations."
“You’re right. It’s something they gave us for free, so whether it’s a lot or a little, good or bad, we should keep a calm attitude. Besides, didn’t Lord Wen provide us with a pack of wolves? We’ll definitely get to eat well.”
"Yes, that's right. I hope that on New Year's Eve, I can go in leaning against the wall and come out leaning against the wall."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The group stood outside in the cold wind for over an hour before they heard the rumbling sound.
The propeller's rapid spinning sent pebbles and dust flying. Everyone took a few steps back, covering their mouths and noses.
After the plane came to a stop, two security guards disembarked and handed the form to Jiang Shulian, who was in charge of the mission: "Take a look, these are the things. Please sign them after you've checked them carefully."
The other party nodded and said, "Okay." Then they took the receipt and started looking at it.
Two guards from the capital city began unloading sacks, saying as they did so: "One sack of dried vegetables, one sack of dried mushrooms, one sack of nuts, one sack of dried fruit, five boxes of fresh fruit, one fat pig, one ewe, ten hens, ten sacks of polished rice, ten sacks of flour..."
"Okay, that's all. Once you've checked everything, sign off. We still have to deliver goods to the next base."
Jiang Shulian was cautious. He opened the sack and carefully checked everything before signing his name, making sure there were no problems.
After the plane took off, everyone carried the sacks into the warehouse.
Jiang Shulian took the list and reported it to Wen Mengguan. Wen Mengguan looked at the list and smiled: "It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either. It's fine."
