Both of them felt embarrassed.
Chen Yifei said, "I also think you're good at picking vegetables and fruits."
"I just love eating fresh food. When I'm at home, my mom doesn't let the housekeeper buy groceries; my mom and I go to the market ourselves. Fresh food tastes the best!"
He Runqing said with a smile, looking at Chen Yifei, already having decided what dishes to make.
Chen Yifei had always known that her family was well-off, but he didn't expect it to be this good; they even had a housekeeper.
The rich people of this era are truly wealthy, but I know from my past life that her parents had a bad class background back then.
So their only daughter could only be sent to this rural area to work as an educated youth, and couldn't stay in the city.
However, he wanted to wait for He Runqing to speak before asking about these things. After all, all he wanted was her as a person; he didn't really care about these other matters.
We bought a whole bunch of stuff, and finally felt relieved. We each bought a bowl of fried pork crackling rice noodles to tide us over. After we got home and prepared the groceries, it was just in time for everyone to come home from work and have dinner.
Chen Yifei missed the fried rice noodles from his hometown. He rarely ate them after he grew up in his previous life, and even after he became successful and moved to other provinces, he couldn't get used to them.
Happiness is actually that simple: eating a bowl of noodles or a bowl of rice noodles face to face.
Chen Yifei took her home on his bicycle.
As the wind blew along the way, He Runqing carefully wrapped her arms around Chen Yifei's waist, her eyes filled with unwavering devotion.
Suddenly, He Runqing, who was sitting in the back seat, opened her arms, felt the wind blowing on her face, and said with a smile, "This is freedom!"
Chen Yifei quickly turned around and snapped at her, "Hold on tight!"
"Don't let go carelessly."
"(^.^) Okay."
He Runqing nodded sheepishly and hugged him obediently, saying, "You said it yourself, Chen Yifei! So I'll hold you tight."
Chen Yifei: "..."
Why does it feel like I'm digging a hole for myself to jump into?
The wind is still a bit cool now, but it will get a bit cold around the 15th of August, when we celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
She thought to herself, Chen Yifei has been so good to her, even buying her the famous Shanghai porridge the other day, so she should also give him a gift. She'd knit him a woolen hat for the Mid-Autumn Festival. It would keep him warm when he rode his bike out in the morning, and she'd knit him a sweater later for winter!
He Runqing is quite good at knitting.
With that thought in mind, she unknowingly returned home.
When Chen Yifei got home, he slumped into a chair and let out a big sigh of relief.
Finally home. Shopping with girls is exhausting. It was a truly tiring day, both physically and mentally.
Normally, when he goes out for a long day, he is only physically tired and can rest when he gets home. But now that Pei Herunqing has gone out, he is exhausted both physically and mentally. Who understands that he has been flirted with all day long by that young educated youth without realizing it? He is burning with desire but can't vent it!
He Runqing took the things she bought and put them in the kitchen. She had already tied on the apron that Chen Xue usually wore.
Then, seeing that Chen Yifei was also tired, he immediately started peeling the apple, cutting it in half and then in half again to get two small semi-circular apple pieces. Next, he carefully cut off a little bit of the apple's tail.
Then fold the top bit of peel and the apple peel on both sides outwards to form the shape of rabbit ears.
The rabbit apple was sliced into several pieces, and it trotted and hopped its way to Chen Yifei's side.
Chen Yifei: "..."
"Look! A rabbit-shaped apple. Chen Yifei, want to try some?"
Chen Yifei thought, "It's just an apple, why make it so fancy?"
I picked it up and ate a piece.
"..."
He paused, then met her expectant gaze. He had originally planned to just say it didn't taste good and tell her not to make it again.
Who knew it would taste so good? I wonder if it's because she peeled it.
He said, "Sweet."
She happily leaned closer: "I'm glad you like it! I'll go back to cooking! You don't need to interfere. You've had a long day, so rest here, eat some fruit, and wait for me."
He ran into the kitchen, even happier as he spoke.
Chen Yifei watched her wearing her home apron and cooking for him... The feeling was subtle, as if he unconsciously felt relaxed and comfortable.
Just as he was watching the "happy little bunny's" back, she suddenly turned around and said, "Chen Yifei, this is the first time you've praised me! I'll remember it."
Chen Yifei: "? Is this considered a compliment?"
"Yes, there will be many more times in the future. I will remember them all and continue to work hard."
The little thing ran off again, full of energy.
Chen Yifei's mind was filled with only two words: adorable.
Indeed, some people are lovable to the core.
She herself didn't know that even a tough guy like him couldn't stand it for a moment.
It's hopeless!
The way she was carefully chopping vegetables on the cutting board and looking at the handwritten recipe notes was quite adorable.
Chen Yifei couldn't sit here anymore, otherwise he'd spend the whole day lost in thought. His mind felt completely consumed by emotions!
Romance is nothing compared to making money.
He went inside and said to He Runqing, "I'm going to the mountains."
Today I was actually going to check on how Wang Hu, Zhao Ershuan, and Sun Quansheng were doing with their mushroom picking.
See if you can help if necessary.
He Runqing didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and said, "Go early and come back early. I'll be waiting for you to come back for dinner!"
"Be careful, there are many snakes and insects in the mountains."
"Okay, don't worry." In his past life, he often went to the mountains to collect mountain products.
Now, of course, there's nothing to fear; it's all familiar territory.
He carried a basket on his back and a sickle to clear the way. The mountain was covered with thorns and bushes, and there were all sorts of odds and ends. If he didn't use something to hold back the weeds, he would be covered in cuts and scrapes after just one trip up the mountain.
Chen Yifei followed the area with the most mushrooms, which happened to be near the chestnut forest. Small bacteria were the most abundant, and there were also many sheep liver mushrooms.
Mushrooms are strange things. For example, the small red umbrella mushroom has a more eye-catching color. It can be eaten if it grows in the hazel forest near the village. If you pick it from other places, you will immediately die if you eat it.
So he went to his brothers, who had all grown up eating the same food, and all of them had been poisoned once or twice, but were lucky enough to survive. By now, they were all quite shrewd.
Therefore, people in the southwestern border region who accidentally experience dizziness or illness after eating mushrooms are mostly unwilling to believe that there is something wrong with the mushrooms, and instead blame themselves for not cooking them properly.
However, when selling them, they usually only have a few edible varieties, so this problem doesn't occur.
Chen Yifei arrived in the middle of the chestnut forest and indeed saw several baskets filled with mushrooms. He sat down and waited for a while.
Wang Hu and Sun Quansheng arrived, accompanied by several children from the village, carrying small baskets filled with mushrooms.
Chen Yifei's expression immediately turned serious: "Wang Hu, why did you bring a child to help?"
"It's wrong to do this. Sending them back is risky. There might be wild boars or something in the mountains. If something happens to the children, it will be entirely our responsibility, you understand?"
