It has to be said that this girl is really oblivious. She has decided to date someone, but she doesn't even know the basic information about his family.

Even now, Chen Shuning hasn't thought to ask He Chaoyang about his family situation.

The two carried their things and walked towards where Old Yang had parked his oxcart. They put the things on the oxcart, and it was almost time to leave.

So the two of them rushed to the station across the street and learned from the station staff that the train was delayed by about forty minutes. They were both dumbfounded.

This eased their initial tension, and Chen Shuning went back and told Old Yang about the train delay.

The old man was clearly used to train delays and comforted Chen Shuning, telling him not to worry.

Since there was still plenty of time, Chen Shuning took off his shoes and crawled into the quilt in the oxcart. It was so cold that day; the daytime temperature was around minus twenty degrees Celsius.

Chen Shuning had originally intended to let He Chaoyang get in the car to warm up, but that person was dressed much more lightly than her. She didn't know what he was wearing underneath, but he was only wearing a military overcoat and no cotton hat.

However, He Chaoyang rejected her. They weren't married yet, and they should be mindful of the impact. Of course, as a modern person, Chen Shuning sometimes didn't pay much attention to these things.

He Chaoyang noticed the water turtle that Old Yang had left aside, which had long since gone cold, and asked Chen Shuning, "Is there a water turtle in the blanket? Is it cold too?"

Because He Chaoyang was there, and Chen's mother and younger brother would also be traveling together in the car, Chen Shuning didn't dare to take the hot water bottle out of her spatial storage.

The bed was getting cold, and when He Chaoyang asked her that, she quickly took out her water turtle, which was only slightly warmer than her hands, which were freezing cold outside, and handed it to He Chaoyang, saying, "It's cold, Brother Chaoyang. Could you please use your handsome face to get some hot water?"

As he spoke, Chen Shuning pointed to another turtle and said with a wicked grin, "And that one too."

He Chaoyang actually had a soldier under his command whose father worked at this train station. He had met the old man twice when he visited his unit.

So he originally intended to ask the old man for some hot water, but the little girl's words left He Chaoyang somewhat amused and exasperated.

He reached out and patted Chen Shuning's forehead, saying in a doting tone, "You little rascal, wait here. One of my men has a company commander's father working here. I'm going to ask the old man for some hot water. I don't need your handsome face yet."

He Chaoyang's strength was probably not enough to kill a mosquito, but Chen Shuning pretended to be nonchalant and fell backward while covering her forehead after He Chaoyang removed his hand.

He even let out a "ouch" sound, making it seem to anyone who didn't know better that He Chaoyang had used a lot of force. Even Old Yang, who was standing next to him, changed his expression and stood up.

He Chaoyang was also startled, thinking that he had accidentally lost control of his strength.

It wasn't until they saw Chen Shuning's flushed face, which was burning from trying not to laugh, that He Chaoyang realized the little girl was up to her old tricks again.

Old Yang realized that the young couple were just playing around. He had thought the young man seemed like a steady person, and being a soldier, he wouldn't hit someone before they were even married. Besides, he was sitting right next to the girl and hadn't heard any hitting.

The old man smiled somewhat embarrassedly at He Chaoyang and sat back down.

He Chaoyang reached out and pulled Chen Shuning, who was leaning against the carriage shaft, up. He said with a mix of helplessness and indulgence, "Get up and sit down quickly. I'll be back in a bit."

Did you bring a water bottle? I'll get you some hot water.

With a smile, she took the water bottle out of the bamboo basket and handed it to He Chaoyang. She had brought hot water with her, but the military water bottles at this time did not keep the water warm, and the water in the bottle had long been ice-cold.

He Chaoyang also took Old Yang's water bottle as well.

He Chaoyang returned quickly, filling both kettles and two water turtles with hot water.

The three of them sat on the oxcart and chatted for a while. When it was almost time, Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang went into the train station to wait.

In those days, it was allowed to pick someone up at the station inside the platform. The two waited in the station for about ten minutes before the train pulled into the station with its whistle.

As the train drew closer, Chen Shuning belatedly began to feel nervous, gripping He Chaoyang's hand tightly without realizing it.

Only after the train came to a complete stop did I see from afar the young man who was the first to jump off the train with large bags and small packages, and Chen Ma, who looked exhausted.

Chen Shuning's tears fell uncontrollably, and she abandoned He Chaoyang and ran towards where the two of them were.

Chen Jiandang, with his sharp eyes, spotted his sister on the train, and of course, he also noticed the tall and handsome man next to her.

Regardless of what his mother thought, he had a good first impression of his future brother-in-law.

Especially when he saw someone picking him up at the station almost accidentally bump into his sister, the tension on He Chaoyang's face when he shielded his sister in his arms was genuine.

In Chen Jiandang's mind, only someone like Brother He, who comes from a good family, is good-looking, has good personal abilities, and cares so much about his sister, is worthy of his sister.

Chen's mother had obviously witnessed what had just happened, and her initial reservations about the two dating had eased considerably.

Also, she didn't say why she came in the telegram, so she didn't expect He Chaoyang to come and pick her up.

Seeing people now is a bit of a pleasant surprise.

As soon as Chen Jiandang ran over, he threw himself into Chen Shuning's arms. The twelve or thirteen-year-old boy was already more than half a head taller than Chen Shuning.
