Ye Nian'an couldn't help but smile.

Her handsome soldier brother looked righteous and invincible.

Why do you get so jealous?

She's like a vinegar jar.

His junior comrade-in-arms, who admired him, glanced at him and instantly became extremely jealous.

"Alright, Brother Yan, don't do that, or you'll scare Little Stone."

Ye Nian'an took Chu Yan's arm and gently comforted him.

Her sweet, delicate voice was like a pair of invisible hands, gently plucking at his heartstrings.

With his wife's comfort, Chu Yan calmed down a bit.

Shi Gandang realized that it was wrong of him to stare at his sister-in-law like that, and seeing that Chu Yan's expression was a little unpleasant, he became even more uneasy.

You have to understand that Chu Yan is his idol. Who would want to leave a bad impression on their idol? All he could do was apologize profusely.

"Oh, it's nothing. That's just how my brother is, he's super jealous."

"But my sister-in-law is so beautiful, it's only natural that you'd be mesmerized. I understand!"

Chu Xin'er gave Shi Gandang a look that suggested she had been through it all.

If I were a man, I'd at least have to compete with my own brother.

Who told Ye Nian'an to become so delicate and beautiful? Not only is she an extremely pretty woman, but her personality has also changed completely. She's fearless in the face of adversity and her ideas are incredibly accurate.

No longer the timid and submissive pushover she used to be, she is now braver and more decisive than Chu Xin'er.

Who wouldn't fall in love with such a perfect person?

When Shi Gandang saw Chu Xin'er, he grinned foolishly and said, "Hehe, you're pretty too."

Chu Xin'er patted Shi Gandang on the shoulder: "Of course, little stone, but don't fall for me, it won't end well."

"..."

Shi Gandang clicked his tongue in amazement.

So Chief Chu's daughter is actually this bold?

After everyone carried the materials back, they began to repair the house.

The physical labor was mainly handled by Chu Zhenyuan, Chu Yan, and Shi Gandang.

Chi Xinyao and Chu Xin'er were responsible for clearing out the areas to be repaired in advance and disposing of the garbage.

It was almost lunchtime, so Ye Nian'an went to cook.

Fortunately, there were still quite a few steamed buns left over.

Ye Nian'an steamed some eggs in a large boiler and scrambled them with soy sauce.

After cooking the porridge, I paired it with the dried radish I brought with me.

Lunch can be dealt with.

"Alright, stop what you're doing and have lunch. You'll need energy to work when you're full."

"Little Stone, if you don't mind, please eat with us."

Ye Nian'an took the initiative to greet him.

Upon hearing this, Shi Gandang shook his head: "No, this is something our family should do for you. We shouldn't accept something for nothing."

"Besides, my mom has already cooked my meal, so I have to go back first. Brother Yan, sister-in-law, I'll come over this afternoon to help you out."

After saying that, Shi Gandang turned around and ran away.

"Hey hey hey... How come this little stone runs faster than a rabbit?"

"Brother Yan, take these two steamed buns over there and tell him to make sure he finishes them and doesn't waste them."

After Chu Yan took the item from Ye Nian'an, he quickly caught up with Shi Gandang.

Shi Gandang tried to decline, saying, "Brother Yan, really, there's no need..."

"Take this and eat it all. Your sister-in-law specifically told me that all the effort she put into making this shouldn't be wasted."

"If you still call me Brother Yan, I'll definitely not let you off the hook if I find out you haven't finished eating."

Chu Yan interrupted Shi Gandang before he could finish speaking.

His doting husband vibe is on full display.

Shi Gandang was stunned by Chu Yan's imposing aura and could only stand there dumbfounded and reach out to take it.

When he came to his senses, Chu Yan had already returned to the educated youth settlement.

Holding two steaming hot steamed buns, Shi Gandang returned home.

"Little Stone, come and have lunch."

"Hey, what are you holding in your hand?"

Wu Jingqiu asked out of curiosity.

Shi Gandang scratched the back of his head: "These are steamed buns made by my sister-in-law. She said they were for me, but I didn't want them. Brother Yan insisted on putting them in my hand."

"He even said he'd punish me if I didn't eat it, hehe..."

Shi Minghui, taking a break from the welding fumes, heard this and spoke up, "Since it was specially given to you, eat it."

"I can tell that Comrade Ye and his family are good people who don't like to owe favors to others."

"After you eat, help them with chores these days and make sure the house is properly repaired."

Shi Gandang replied, "Dad, I understand."

After saying that, he picked up the steamed bun, took a bite, and his eyes lit up.

These steamed buns are so sweet! They must have used a lot of refined flour! They're so fluffy and soft!

"Dad, Mom, you should try it too, this steamed bun is so delicious!"

"It's just steamed buns, it's not like we've never eaten them before, why are you making such a fuss about it?"

As Wu Jingqiu spoke, she took the food and bit into it.

"Hmm! These steamed buns are really well made! They even used generous amounts of ingredients! That's rare!"

"Old man, you should try some too."

After lunch, we rested for a while and then got back to work.

Just then, Shi Gandang arrived as well.

Shi Gandang grinned, revealing a set of white teeth: "Uncle Chu, Brother Yan, just let me know if you need any help. I'm young and strong!"

"OK."

First, the roof beams need to be reinforced to protect against strong winds and heavy rain.

We also need to build a wall, firstly for safety, and secondly to protect privacy.

As for opening windows, thatching the roof, and filling cracks in the walls... these all require patience and must be done little by little.

They worked on it for the entire afternoon.

Before preparing dinner, Ye Nian'an deliberately came out and grabbed Shi Gandang.
