He Monian first served Nan Qing a small bowl of pork rib soup that had been simmering for more than two hours, and then placed the sweet and sour pork ribs and spicy chicken that looked so appetizing on Nan Qing's side.

He picked up his chopsticks, which he hadn't used yet, and placed a beautifully presented piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in another bowl in front of Nanqing.

"Try it. This is my first time making these ribs. I don't know if it's the kind of flavor you like."

Nan Qing picked up the rib and put it in her mouth. The rich sauce coating the rib immediately spread between her lips and tongue. After gently biting it, she even felt a sensation like biting into a sugar shell.

Moreover, the meat was soaked in the sweet and sour sauce, making it incredibly delicious.

The moment she took her first bite of the rib, she chewed much faster, and finally, she crunched and swallowed all the cartilage attached to the rib.

Nan Qing looked at He Monian sitting on her other side with her big eyes and gave him a thumbs up with her fair little hand.

"Wow, that's amazing! It tastes so delicious! Is this really your first time making sweet and sour pork ribs?"

Seeing that Nan Qing liked it, He Monian grinned and said:

"This is really my first time making it. I've only seen someone else make it once before, but it's not difficult. I'm glad you like it. Have a few more pieces."

He Monian put another piece of meaty pork rib into her bowl. His Qingqing was so thin, she needed to eat more meat.

After the meal, Nanqing lay on the recliner, patting her slightly round belly, looking at the starry sky, feeling the cool mountain breeze, and smelling the faint herbal scent emanating from the burning mugwort next to her. She was extremely content.

He Monian lit the mugwort.

Today he noticed several red spots on Nan Qing's forearm, which he could tell were from mosquito bites the night before.

So after dinner today, he burned some mugwort and placed it near Nanqing, and also lit some in her room.

So Nanqing no longer heard the constant buzzing of mosquitoes, and she even found the smell of the mugwort quite pleasant; she liked it very much.

It seems that with the lucky one around, my time in the countryside won't be too difficult~

At least, she can eat delicious food every day, and the dishes He Monian makes are indeed very much to her liking.

However, starting tomorrow, I have to get up really, really early to go to the brigade for assembly.

Nan Qing turned to look at He Monian, who was also sitting next to her recliner with a small chair in his hand, and asked:

"He Monian, what time are we supposed to assemble at the brigade tomorrow?"

"7 o'clock."

Upon hearing that they had to gather at 7 o'clock, Nan Qing sighed heavily, lifted her right foot and placed it on the ground. Her small foot, clad in crystal sandals, kicked out again, making the recliner rock a little faster.

Fortunately, the brigade no longer eats communal meals, otherwise she would really be sighing.

He Monian pursed his lips as he looked at Nan Qing, who had suddenly become somewhat sullen. He himself did not think it was early, as the sun was already up at seven o'clock in this season. However, considering the time Nan Qing got up today, he knew that seven o'clock was indeed too early for Nan Qing.

Moreover, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Qingqing shouldn't have come to suffer like this in the first place. However, he had heard Commander Sheng mention it and knew that there was nothing he could do about Nanqing coming to be an educated youth.

The assembly time for the brigade cannot be changed, and if Nanqing is late, it will have a very bad impact on her, and it might even delay Commander Sheng's plan to bring her back.

Therefore, He Monian could only mutter in silence:

"Don't worry, I'll wake you up when it's time."

"Don't go with the other educated youth tomorrow. I'll tell Uncle Lin that you're going to cut pig feed. Don't worry about work points. I'll also have someone help you with the grass cutting. Just take your things and go for a walk with the grass cutting team."

In fact, the current policy is that educated youth earn work points not only to exchange for food, but also to meet the work point requirements. It's not that you can do nothing as long as you have food and don't earn work points.

However, He Monian had already considered all of this yesterday.

Nanqing's work points and the tasks assigned to him could be completed in a single morning. Qingqing would simply go and cut pig feed as a token gesture, leaving no room for gossip.

Moreover, he could ask Lin Guofu's brother to help cut pig feed, and then he could give the children some milk candy.

Neither Commander Sheng nor He Monian had ever considered having Nan Qing actually do farm work.

Of course, Nan Qing herself didn't know either. She had learned about the current policies from Xiao Ba, and even if He Monian hadn't said anything, she would have had other ways to deal with it.

Sigh, it's impossible to make yourself suffer.

She's just here for a vacation in this small world; she's not here to compete with them for the title of "labor pioneer."

So she didn't refute He Monian when he said those words. Since He Monian had already made the arrangements, she didn't care. She had complete faith in the strength of the chosen one.

But when He Monian woke her up at 6:30 the next morning, she suddenly remembered her miserable high school life in other small worlds!

Finally, when she changed into a more comfortable set of clothes and walked out of the room, her eyes were still half-closed.

She swayed and walked into the main room, then lazily slumped onto the table.

At this moment, He Monian also came in carrying a plate of white meat buns and stir-fried vegetables.

He put down what he was holding, then picked up a meat bun, broke it in half, exposed the meat filling inside, and shook it in front of Nan Qing.

Sure enough, he soon saw Nan Qing's closed eyelashes tremble slightly, and then even her pretty little nose twitched slightly.

The adorable and vibrant Qingqing made his heart pound along with her fluttering eyelashes.

"Nanqing, get up and eat something first. It's freshly steamed meat buns. Smell it, it smells especially good."

Nan Qing slowly opened her eyes as she smelled the steaming aroma, but the first thing she saw was not the meat bun in front of her, but the chosen one, He Monian, who was also sitting in front of her.

She noticed that He Monian's eyes were very beautiful, with long eyelashes and exceptionally dark eyes.

Although He Monian always seemed a bit goofy in front of her, he was indeed very handsome. Although his skin was a little dark, it gave him a wild look.

Moreover, since he was going to work in the fields today, He Monian was wearing a white vest.

His strong arms and physique were on full display, and you could even see his bulging chest muscles through his thin vest.

So when Nan Qing opened her eyes, what she saw was He Monian, a man full of power and wildness.

Moreover, whether it was because the kitchen was too hot or for some other reason, He Monian's extremely short buzz cut was still a little damp, and Nan Qing could even feel a slight chill from him. It was obvious that he had just taken a cold shower.

With his handsome face, strong physique, bulging chest muscles, the dampness from a recent cold shower, and those dark, bright eyes, He Monian was incredibly alluring and sensual.

Even Nan Qing was momentarily stunned by He Monian's presence.
