When Yun Ningyan returned to the educated youth settlement, Lin Mengmeng had already prepared the meal. She took a pound of steamed egg custard and went over to eat what was ready.

I can't just eat for free; life isn't easy for anyone in the countryside.

Lin Mengmeng stir-fried shredded potatoes and hot and sour cabbage. It tasted good, and she ate it very well. After they finished eating, they went to work together.

Song Pandi has been very well-behaved lately. She's gotten smarter now. After the incident involving Wang Cuilian and Aunt Ma came to light, she wanted to use it to deal with Yun Ningyan.

After finishing breakfast, she went to work alone. Passing by Widow Wang's house, she saw someone sneaking out of the yard.

On a sudden impulse, she hid behind a tree. The man was Ma Lao Er. She hadn't expected Ma Lao Er to have such tastes. He could even bring himself to kiss that old widow Wang. If it were Yun Ningyan, he would be ecstatic.

Song Pandi's eyes were filled with excitement. She was trying to figure out how to deal with Yun Ningyan, and this was her chance.

She followed Ma Lao Er, turning into the alley as he went, deliberately making noise to attract his attention.

Ma Lao Er turned his head and saw it was him. He wandered over to Song Pandi and asked, "Little sister, are you following me? Are you lost?"

He knew this female educated youth; she was Song Pandi.

He looked Song Pandi up and down. Her face was nice, but a bit dark. Her figure looked good too. He just didn't know if her skin was fair.

If I could try it on her myself, it would feel really good.

He stroked his chin, staring at Song Pandi with a sly look, making Song Pandi very uncomfortable with his sticky gaze.

But business was of the essence, and she smiled broadly, which to Ma Lao Er looked like a blatant attempt to seduce him.

As he spoke, he reached out to touch Song Pandi's face, but Song Pandi dodged away in disgust.

"Brother Ma, I heard you're getting married? What kind of wife are you looking for? Huo Junshan is dating Yun Ningyan. Yun Ningyan has several thousand yuan. Huo Junshan's family's life will get better and better in the future."

Ma Lao Er rubbed his hands together and exclaimed in surprise, "What? Several thousand yuan? That's too much! If I could marry a wife this rich, I could eat meat every day!"

Hearing that there was a chance, Song Pandi continued to fan the flames: "Brother Ma, you're no worse than Huo Junshan, are you?" As she spoke, she waved her hand from top to bottom, gesturing for Ma Lao Er to look at herself: "Look at yourself, you're handsome, a good person, and smart. If you ask me, Yun Ningyan is blind. If you marry her, she'll definitely give you her money."

Ma Lao Er nodded: "You're right! I just don't know how to get her to take a liking to me?"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Song Pandi immediately lowered her voice and pretended to be mysterious: "Let me tell you, Yun Ningyan is the easiest to win over. If you send her food and drinks a few times, she will definitely be moved and agree. Don't forget to give me some benefits then!"

Ma Lao Er waved his hand: "Don't worry, when you get the several thousand yuan, I'll make sure you get your share. Okay, go to work."

Song Pandi snorted coldly, secretly pleased with herself: She's really stupid and easy to fool, what an idiot!

She went to work smugly, now waiting to see the show.

Yun Ningyan was unaware that Song Pandi was plotting against her again. At this moment, she was eating the steamed egg custard that Huo Junshan had brought over in the field. It had a few drops of sesame oil on it and smelled delicious.

Huo Junshan watched as she ate, her little mouth bulging, her clear black and white eyes like a spring, intently staring at the steamed egg custard in the bowl, with some crumbs still clinging to her lips. He felt an irresistible itch, as if the little girl was tickling the very tip of his heart.

Yun Ningyan was unaware of his thoughts, secretly admiring his handsome face, his chiseled chin, and the delicate collarbone revealed by his slightly open neckline. She really wanted to reach out and touch it.

She put down her lunchbox and rubbed her stomach: "I'm full. I don't need to eat lunch. I'm too full."

Huo Junshan chuckled and ruffled her hair, then pulled her into his arms. Yun Ningyan was startled and instinctively looked up at him. Huo Junshan lowered his head and kissed her pink lips, gently licking away the crumbs from her lips.

His kissing skills were still quite inexperienced; he only gently nibbled at her, afraid of hurting her.

The intense scent of hormones exploded in her nostrils, and she felt as if the man had sucked all the air out of her chest. Yun Ningyan's face flushed red, and a surge of heat rushed to her head. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around the man's neck.

Huo Junshan wasn't in much better shape either. He regretted kissing her; his blood was boiling, and all the heat rushed to his lower abdomen. He felt the change below him and suddenly released her.

Yun Ningyan chuckled softly. When she saw the tent the man had set up, she almost burst out laughing like a pig. Huo Junshan fled in panic.

He plunged into the river, and it took him a long time to calm down the heat in his body. He regretted letting her see this scene. Would she misunderstand that he had been too reckless?

He went to work in the fields soaking wet. Li Xiangyun looked at him in surprise and asked, "Third brother, what happened to you?"

He recalled what had just happened and replied in a low voice, "It's too hot, I'll take a shower."

After saying that, he lowered his head and got to work. He worked hard for a while and soon pulled Li Xiangyun far ahead, leaving her dumbfounded. What had gotten into Lao San?

After Huo Junshan left, Yun Ningyan laughed in the field for a while. He was the one who was upset because he had taken advantage of her. She even forgot to take her lunchbox with her blushing face.

Ha ha......

She was in a good mood all morning.

He took out a box of braised pork, two chicken legs, and two boxes of rice from his spatial storage. He planned to have a meal with Huo Junshan when he arrived.

When Huo Junshan arrived with his lunchbox, he touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly.

He opened the lunchbox, which contained rice and stir-fried cured pork with chili peppers. This was specially made by Li Xiangyun for Yun Ningyan. She had seen her eat it happily last time, and there was still some cured pork at home, so she asked her mother to stir-fry it all today.

Although his sister-in-law didn't say anything, her eyes were still fixed on his lunchbox.

He plans to go into the mountains again in the next couple of days to hunt two wild boars and ask Yang Dasheng to get him some good stuff.

Yun Ningyan thought about the wild boar meat he brought a few days ago that she hadn't cooked yet, so she decided to go back early tonight to cook and wait for Huo Junshan to come and eat together: "I'll make ribs and braised pork when I get back tonight. You can come and eat with us. Also, I'll send some over to Auntie and Uncle Huo."

Huo Junshan nodded: "Don't do the rest of the work. Go back and rest in a bit. I can finish it for you this afternoon."

With someone helping her with the chores, she was happy to be free, and it was a good time to go back early to cook and even take a nap.

After the meal, Huo Junshan followed her back, escorting her all the way to the educated youth settlement before returning to the fields.

Liu Zhijun was furious but dared not speak out. Yun Zhiqing didn't give him any chance, and he was almost driven mad with anger.

When Huo Junshan returned, he passed by Liu Zhijun. Liu Zhijun raised his fist at him, but Huo Junshan gave him a look, and Liu Zhijun was so frightened that he dared not be arrogant anymore. He could only glare angrily at Huo Junshan's back.
