The darkness slowly faded away, and the sun refracted through the clouds. The soft light covered the entire village like a net. The dew on the tender grass slowly fell to the ground, and the village began to revive.

The door of the Yan family was opened this morning. As soon as Yan Shuhua went out, he stretched his body and couldn't help yawning.

It was very cold in the morning. Yan Shuhua felt as if her whole body was covered with frost. Even though she was wearing such a thick coat, she still felt very cold all over. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore and went into the room to find a scarf.

This scarf was made for her by Shen Hongmei herself. Because she thought one color would be too monotonous, Shen Hongmei even went to exchange it with others for a different color. As a result, the style of this scarf is quite novel, and when she wears it on her neck, she doesn't look like a country girl at all.

After all, she was going to the capital today to fight against others, so she couldn't wear anything too casually. So she took out the new clothes she had worn before and put them on.

This dress is quite novel and matches her hairstyle very well. Her two braids hang in front of her chest. When she walks, the braids swing back and forth, making her look like a grown-up girl.

Shen Hongmei got up early to feed the chickens, ducks and pigs. She happened to see Yan Shuhua and quickly put some dry food at home in a sack and asked her to take it with her to eat on the road.

Song Yan must have been sleeping in in the capital these days. He could hardly open his eyes when he got up so early. He kept rubbing his eyes. The dark circles under his eyelids betrayed that he must have chatted with Xiao Jinchu until very late last night.

"Song Yan, don't be lazy anymore. Hurry up and put on your clothes and eat. We are about to set off."

In the morning, Shen Hongmei made sweet potato porridge. Song Yan couldn't eat the sweet potatoes at all, but there was nothing he could do. If he didn't eat the sweet potatoes, wouldn't he starve to death? No matter how reluctant he was, he had to eat it.

They were about to leave after dinner, and Xiao Jinchu naturally couldn't sleep, so he came out to see her off.

Xiao Jinchu saw Yan Shuhua wearing this kind of clothes. She had completely gotten rid of the appearance of a country girl. In fact, her face was still quite pretty, with a delicate oval face, thick black eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, and a cherry mouth. She gave people an extremely fresh feeling.

"Be sure to send a telegram when you get there."

Seeing that Xiao Jinchu was wearing so few clothes, Yan Shuhua quickly walked up to him and tightened his clothes, then patted his shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Jinchu, if I go out, you must take good care of yourself. Also, you must change the dressing on time. If they forget, you must remind them, okay?"

Yan Shuhua's words sounded like those of a child who was not very obedient.

"Yeah." Cold white frost covered Xiao Jinchu's eyebrows. Yan Shuhua raised his hands and rubbed them hard to warm them, then held his palms tightly together, transferring his body temperature to him.

The calmness on Xiao Jinchu's deep facial features slowly faded away, revealing a warm face.

His eyes under his thick black eyebrows stared straight at it, hiding so many emotions and feelings.

Very complicated.

At this moment, Yan Shuhua was completely focused on his long journey, so he didn't pay much attention to the emotions that emerged in Xiao Jinchu's eyes.

"Jinchu, I'm going to the capital soon, so you don't have to see me off. Anyway, I have Song Yan. I can take a train to the provincial capital in a few hours." When Yan Shuhua said this, she was about to pull her hand away, but Xiao Jinchu suddenly grabbed her hand again. Seeing her still bare wrist, she said with a disappointed tone, "Where is the watch I gave you before?"

"I..." Yan Shuhua originally wanted to not tell him, but then she felt a little guilty if she didn't say it, so she had to speak up, "Because I haven't been picking herbs during this period of time, it's always Li Mei who has been picking them, so I lent her the watch so that she can tell the time when she comes back."

Xiao Jinchu had never asked her for anything so seriously before, but for this matter, he hoped that Yan Shuhua could agree to it.

Xiao Jinchu said: "If you go this time, you must wear this watch, because it is a gift from my mother to you."

When Yan Shuhua heard Xiao Jinchu say this, she would definitely agree. Anyway, she thought that she would pass by Li Mei's house later, so she would go to her to ask for the watch.

"When you are out, never try to be stubborn." Xiao Jinchu has already figured out her character. She is always too righteous, and it is easy for her to suffer losses if she behaves like that.

Fortunately, she is still a girl, so she has to be more restrained. If she were a boy, she would have turned the whole village upside down.

But Xiao Jinchu just liked her personality, and this personality deeply attracted her.

She was unyielding and had an ambitious heart. She did not have the limited vision of a country girl at all. Instead, she seemed to have lofty goals. If she went to the capital, he would be very relieved and believed that Yan Shuhua could do those things well.

"Don't worry, I know my limits and I'm not so ignorant."

Shen Hongmei cooked some sweet potatoes, potatoes, and peanuts, and put them in a bag for them to take with them on the road.

Song Yan wanted to vomit when he smelled the sweet potatoes. He couldn't help but mutter, "How can I have the energy to work if I eat these things every day?"

"You ate like this when you were here before, but now you've been to the capital and you've eaten your fill." After Shen Hongmei said this, she still stuffed all the food into his hands.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. The two of us are leaving first."

Song Yan was carrying something on his back, while Yan Shuhua was empty-handed.

Xiao Jinchu just looked at her departing back with deep affection, which went farther and farther away, and his gaze slowly withdrew from her distant back.

"Jinchu, this girl Shuhua..."

How could Xiao Jinchu let Yan Shuhua take the risk alone? The reason why he let Yan Shuhua go was to calm Xiao Yanmin's heart, but he would not stay in the village like this, he had to go out.

Shen Hongmei saw that Yan Shuhua had just left, but Xiao Jinchu didn't know why he started packing again. She found it very strange and couldn't help asking, "Jinchu, where are you going?"

"Aunt Shen, I have to go out too."

"Shuhua just left, how come you just followed him like that?"
