Zhao Weiguo and Yang Laidi talked for a while longer in the grove.

Zhao Weiguo took her hand and boldly kissed her cheek.

I dared not go any further, for fear that she would reject me.

However, he seemed quite distressed as he said, "How about we get married?"

Yang Laidi was startled. She shook her head and said, "We haven't known each other for very long. I want to wait until we go back to the city before we get married."

Zhao Weiguo shook his head: "But I don't want to wait anymore. Waiting every day is too unbearable!"

"Laidi, are you afraid that I won't treat you well after we get married? Don't worry, I swear to God."

"There's no sign of them returning to the city yet; we don't know when we'll be able to get back."

"By the time we actually return to the city, we might be over thirty."

Are you really going to wait until you're over thirty to get married?

Yang Laidi hadn't thought that far ahead; she felt that in a few more years at most, she would be able to go back.

If what Zhao Weiguo said is true, then we really can't wait that long.

She nodded: "Let me think about it! But we're getting married here, and none of our families know. I've never met your family, and you've never been to my house."

"I'm afraid that your family won't like me anymore, what will I do then?"

Zhao Weiguo held her hand and smiled, "How could that be? They're too happy to be a girl as sensible as you."

"I won't dislike you, don't worry. I will definitely treat you well and won't let you suffer with me."

Yang Laidi was somewhat tempted by what he said.

"Let me think about it some more! After the wheat harvest, I'll write a letter to my family and we'll talk about it then. You can also talk to your family about it."

Seeing her say that, Zhao Weiguo had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"Alright then! But you'd better write to your family quickly, I want to be with you as soon as possible."

Yang Laidi's heart stirred slightly; she felt a sweet warmth in her heart, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.

I feel incredibly happy right now!

The two returned to their dormitory.

Ji Boyu, who was behind the big tree, saw the two leave and followed them back.

He felt that they seemed to have chosen the wrong target; the person they were looking for was someone they would never marry and have children with.

However, it cannot be ruled out that this person may be taking advantage of female lesbians.

They will not give up monitoring Zhao Weiguo.

As soon as the whistle blew, Huo Junshan was about to get up.

Yun Ningyan rolled over and climbed onto his neck, pouting, "Can I not go to work? I'm so bored being home alone all day."

Huo Junshan patted her head and coaxed her softly, "Be good, go to sleep! How can we support you and the baby if we don't work?"

He got up, dressed, and left.

Yun Ningyan sighed on the bed and went back to sleep.

I don't know when I won't have to go to work anymore.

After Huo Junshan left, she slept for a while and then got up.

I need to cook something delicious for Huo Junshan at noon.

Take good care of yourself.

She felt very sorry for him, having to do such heavy work every day.

All she could do was cook more delicious meals for him at home.

While making him work, we must not let him overwork himself.

She got up and first looked at the cans on the table. All the cans were intact and showed no signs of spoiling.

Looking around the kitchen, not knowing what to cook, I simply took out a large piece of pork ribs from my storage space.

I'm going to stew some pork ribs and cook rice with them.

She looked at the vegetables in the yard, especially the tomatoes, which were growing in bunches, and decided to stir-fry some tomatoes and eggs.

When she's home alone, she usually cooks in her living space and rarely uses a fire.

I put the pork ribs in the stewing pan and the rice in the steamer, then went out and picked some tomatoes and green beans.

They can't eat that much, so we'll pick some later and send it to my mother-in-law and aunt.

Otherwise, it would all be wasted?

Besides, there's plenty of space to plant them.

The plants in this yard were still grown by my mother-in-law.

Many more have grown in the fields behind it.

She picked some and sent them to the front; there were many of them, so they had a lot to eat.

Huo Junshan and the other two couldn't finish it either.

She picked a full basket of green beans, eggplants, and tomatoes.

I left it in the kitchen and came back.

She went into the space to see that the ribs were almost cooked, so she took them out and started to stir-fry tomatoes, eggs, and green beans.

Waiting for the food to be ready.

Take out a few lunch boxes: two lunch boxes of rice, two lunch boxes of ribs, and one lunch box of tomato, egg, and green beans.

She was worried that Huo Junshan wouldn't have enough to eat, so the rice, ribs, and vegetables were packed very tightly.

He filled another pot with spring water and then took the basket to the field.

Huo Junshan is still at the wheat threshing ground today, where the sun is scorching hot for half a day.

He was wearing a straw hat, and Yun Ningyan almost didn't recognize him.

Yun Ningyan saw that he was still shirtless, his skin was tanned dark and red, and he didn't know to put on some clothes.

When the group saw Yun Ningyan arrive, they stopped what they were doing.

Yan Hua joked, "Third Brother, your wife is here. You should stop working now, or she'll feel sorry for you."

Huo Junshan glared at him: "Get lost! You're always making fun of me, you're asking for it!"

He pretended to clench his fist, and Yan Hua was so frightened that he quickly put down the broom and ran away.

This made everyone laugh.

Huo Junshan dusted himself off, took his shirt, and went to the tree.

"Ningning, wait a moment, I'm going to wash up, my body is really itchy."

Winnowing wheat is not only a technical job, but also a dirty and tiring one.

The people winnowing wheat were all covered in dust.

Huo Junshan went to wash his hands and face, and returned shortly afterward.

Yun Ningyan had already opened the lunchbox for him, and the aroma of meat wafted out.
