"Hmm." Chen Yifei felt perfectly at ease; bringing her along was only natural.
"But you should also remember the way, it's dangerous to be alone."
Over the years, many educated youth who came to the countryside have disappeared. The police have been keeping records of the population and investigating these cases, but many have become cold cases. This area is in the southwest border region, next to Myanmar, so there is some danger.
A beautiful future wife is the kind of girl most likely to cause trouble.
As Chen Yifei was thinking about these things, he had already ridden his bicycle to the entrance of the state-run restaurant.
He Runqing quickly pointed inside: "Chen Yifei, do you usually eat in here? Is the food good?"
She remembered that Chen Yifei sold mushrooms here, so was he just eating them here?
"No, the food here is very expensive. I only eat one pancake myself. I'm too busy. There are too many customers during mealtimes, and I don't want to eat after that."
When Chen Yifei mentioned this, he asked, "Do you want to go eat there? Business is still very good."
If she wants to go, take her to try it.
Unexpectedly, He Runqing got off the back of the bicycle, walked in front of Chen Yifei, and said seriously, "Chen Yifei, I want to discuss something with you. I'll cook for you from now on. Your pancakes are delicious, but it's not healthy to eat them every day."
"I can cook a balanced meal with meat and vegetables, making it healthy and delicious. We'll cook at home, and I'll bring the food to you when it's ready."
Upon hearing this, he was completely stunned at first, unsure how to react.
Because I'm used to it from my past life, a man can eat anywhere.
Later, after I became rich, I was always busy with social engagements, barely eating any food and mostly drinking alcohol.
Not to mention that someone is thinking of cooking for you regularly.
It's impossible for him not to yearn for this kind of warmth; he just feels that, having witnessed so much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships, he has never seen anyone with such a good wife.
Now, I feel like this girl, who only exists in my imagination, is standing right in front of me.
That's why I was a little surprised.
Her arrival, her sunny and lovely personality, seemed to help Chen Yifei rediscover the youthful spirit he once had.
While he was in a daze, He Runqing said in a rambling voice, "I can learn to cook whatever you like. Let's buy a cookbook and I'll study it slowly!"
“I cook well too. And I’m not completely useless, so I don’t need you to take care of me,” Chen Yifei said. “You don’t need to work so hard; when you’re busy, you can just grab a quick meal.”
He just felt that there was no need for the young girl to always cook for him.
Hearing this, He Runqing smiled thoughtfully and nodded: "Yes, that's because I want to eat delicious food, but I can't finish it all by myself. Chen Yifei, you can eat with me then, so I'll have some company."
"Okay." He nodded. This little girl was quite clever. Chen Yifei simply couldn't refuse her.
After He Runqing heard his agreement, she quickly sat on his bicycle and said, "Okay! Let's go to the department store, I want to buy some things."
"Okay." Chen Yifei nodded.
When they arrived at the department store together, He Runqing first looked at the pastries and bought two boxes of each of the peach shortbreads.
I bought a whole bunch of candy again.
Chen Yifei didn't care; he was rich and could build whatever he wanted.
While waiting to pay the bill, He Runqing saw him about to pay but firmly refused.
He said, "It's my own thing, I'll give it away. I have money!"
"Chen Yifei, I'm not the kind of person who depends on a boy. I'm self-sufficient now. After we get married, I'll earn my own money and I can take care of myself!"
Chen Yifei is also in a difficult situation. Anyway, she can't spend other people's money with a clear conscience. That's not something she would do. Of course, if Chen Yifei is willing, she will share her things with him!
She insisted on giving it to him, so Chen Yifei went along with it.
He doesn't actually care about spending money; it's only natural for him to spend money on his future wife when they go shopping together.
The girls Chen Yifei had seen in his previous life always tried to eat expensive food when they went out with boys, wanting the men to pay for it, and were eager to buy several bags and luxury goods.
Such a silly little girl is truly rare.
Looking at the stubborn little expression, with his hair disheveled by the wind and his fluffy little head, Chen Yifei couldn't help but stroke the young educated youth's hair.
When she was stroking his hair, He Runqing was very obedient and cooperative. After she finished, she leaned close to his eyes and asked, "Is it still messy, Chen Yifei?"
She was very conscious of her image, especially in front of Chen Yifei, whom she considered her future husband.
Chen Yifei felt embarrassed to look any longer and nodded, "Mm."
Just then, He Runqing's small hand gripped his wrist. Chen Yifei's wrist was stiff all over. He Runqing was the other extreme, soft and supple everywhere.
"Come on, let's go upstairs. I see something furry."
She was like a child visiting an amusement park; these days people value practicality, and few people come to buy these teddy bears.
So the doll business wasn't good; only a few children were watching.
He Runqing ran over, hugged the biggest little rabbit, a pink one that was almost as tall as her, and then pinched the rabbit's arm: "Hello! I'm Rabbit!"
Chen Yifei: "..." He had always felt that He Runqing resembled a little rabbit, and now it had become a tangible representation.
She liked it and bought it immediately. She had the shopkeeper pack it up, then tied it to her bicycle, planning to sleep with it when she got home.
The two arrived at the market, and He Runqing grabbed his wrist and led him quickly inside.
She needed to buy fresh vegetables and fresh fruit. She always planned out what dishes she wanted to cook, having come here as a sent-down youth, so she knew a thing or two about the local flavors.
Arriving at the stall, Chen Yifei initially thought He Runqing knew nothing about the market. Unexpectedly, she seemed perfectly at ease there, quickly and decisively selecting items, immediately spotting the freshest piece of meat.
Chen Yifei picked up a radish, and He Runqing said seriously that the radish was not fresh, that it had been in the ground for a long time, and that it was no longer sweet in the middle.
He Runqing mumbled something in his ear as he made the purchases, acting very efficiently.
Chen Yifei was somewhat shocked. Just like his mother, she was very experienced when buying groceries. Her familiarity with the process and the way she bought groceries made it clear that she was a true expert.
The young and middle-aged people passing by watched the young couple haggling over prices and picking out vegetables, and they all stood aside with envy.
"Look at other people's partners, they're accompanying their partners to buy groceries. My partner is like he's dead, he just lies at home like a corpse!"
“My husband is the same. He doesn’t take care of the kids, he’s always late for work and leaves early at the factory, and he always complains about being tired. I have to take care of the kids and do grocery shopping.”
"Good men are too few and far between. And this young lady buying groceries is very experienced!"
"They are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman."
