Chapter 23 Wild Raspberries
"Han Jinghuai, isn't this roasted chicken?"
Xu Wanning took the oil paper bag handed to her, opened it and saw that it was indeed her favorite roast chicken. Her eyes lit up instantly.
"It smells so good, Han Jinghuai, where did you get it?"
Han Jinghuai smiled at her affectionately, took the oil paper bag with his slender hands, tore off a chicken leg and handed it to her.
"You definitely won't be able to eat the food you're eating at the educated youth camp."
"So at noon I went up the mountain to catch a pheasant, roasted it in the cave, and brought it here."
"Ningning, you're so thin, you should eat more meat."
"Come, how about trying it?"
"Girl, why don't you eat anymore? Don't you like it?"
Xu Wanning blinked her big watery eyes, held her cheeks with both hands and stared at the man's handsome face in a daze.
"Han Jinghuai, why are you so nice to me?"
"We just met not long ago!"
"What do you like about me?"
"I really don't understand you!"
Han Jinghuai raised his eyes to look at her, and said with a smile:
"Ningning, guess what!"
"Maybe it's fate. When I first saw you on the train, I was thinking..."
Xu Wanning couldn't wait to step forward and shook the man's arm and asked:
"Han Jinghuai, what are you thinking about?"
"You are such a jerk. Why do you only say half of what you want to say?"
"Hey, can you tell me something?"
Han Jinghuai turned his head to look at the little girl and smiled.
"I'll tell you later."
"Be good and eat your roast chicken!"
"If you don't eat it now, I'll finish it."
The air was filled with the aroma of barbecue. Xu Wanning no longer cared about her curiosity. She took the chicken leg and started to chew it without any ladylike image. Her mouth was full of oil. She sighed in her heart that the smell of roast chicken was still there. It was so delicious!
The food that the educated youth had been eating recently was wild vegetable porridge and dishes fried with lard. She only ate a few bites each time because they were too disgusting.
Sometimes I would go to my room to eat some snacks to fill my stomach, and sometimes I would secretly take out a few cucumbers from my Peach Blossom Space to chew on.
It was too inconvenient to live with other educated youth. I could only watch the pork belly in the space being eaten up and didn't dare to cook it for myself.
When she thought about the space, she remembered that she could catch some pheasants and rabbits and raise them in the space!
In a few days, the autumn harvest will be over and the villagers will start to hibernate. They won't have to go to work at that time, so she can go up the mountain and get some more game to store in the space.
Only when Xu Wanning thought about this did she feel that the future was promising, and a sweet smile gradually appeared on her face.
Han Jinghuai tapped her head amusedly and pinched her pretty little face.
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"Why are you so happy?"
“Talking about it makes me happy too!”
Xu Wanning tilted her head and glared at him fiercely, puffing out her cheeks and saying:
"Humph, I won't tell you."
"Guess for yourself!"
Xu Wanning only ate a chicken leg and a chicken wing of the roast chicken before she could eat any more. Han Jinghuai finished the rest in five or six minutes.
The tillage work was done and it was still early to get off work, so Han Jinghuai decided to take the little girl up the mountain for a walk to help digest her food, so that she wouldn't have to sneak up the mountain by herself.
