Chapter 65: Silence



After cleaning up, the two finally lay back on the bed and He Shaochuan turned off the lights.

The moment the lights went out, Ning He snuggled into his arms.

Although it is a bit hot in summer, warmth is still essential.

He Shaochuan was shocked, and the next second he put his arms around the woman's shoulders.

His broad palm patted her shoulder gently: "Go to sleep!"

Ning He curled the corners of her lips and closed her eyes contentedly.

But He Shaochuan couldn't fall asleep anymore. He lowered his eyes and looked at the woman's peaceful sleeping face.

His mind was full of the scene of Ning He helping him just now.

When has Ning He ever been like this?

Where did she learn these things?

Did you learn it from Sister Zhao?

The more He Shaochuan thought about it, the more his brows furrowed.

He will have to ask Yang Guoqiang about this tomorrow!

Ning He had a good dream that night and didn't even notice that He Shaochuan beside her had a sleepless night.

Ning He woke up at four o'clock. When she woke up, He Shaochuan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. She glanced at the man sleeping beside him.

He had no idea that He Shaochuan was pretending to be asleep.

She admired the handsome man in front of her.

Ning He couldn't help but sigh, "He's good in every way, but unfortunately he's a dull person. He needs to be trained more."

She muttered for a while, until she heard Ma Xiaohui's voice coming from outside the yard, Ning He finally got up from the bed.

After leaving the room, He Shaochuan opened his eyes and his brows lowered even more.

Training?

He really wanted to ask Yang Guoqiang today what he had taught his wife that led Ning He astray!

Ning He walked out of the yard and saw Ma Xiaohui who had been waiting at the door. She waved at her with a smile.

"Come in!"

Only after getting Ning He's permission did Ma Xiaohui dare to step into the yard.

Ning He walked up to her and pulled her into the kitchen.

"Today I will walk you through the daily routine. From now on, when you come in the morning, just go directly to the kitchen."

Ma Xiaohui nodded.

Under Ning He's guidance, she followed Ning He to steam the glutinous rice, boil the sour plum soup, and cook and scoop the noodles.

After completing all preparations, the horn finally sounded.

He Shaochuan took a short nap and when he got up, he smelled a fragrance.

He got dressed and went outside to wash.

Ning Hezheng and Ma Xiaohui were carrying a wooden barrel and were about to put it on the car.

He Shaochuan saw this, strode over, held Ning He's hand, and said to her, "This is such a heavy barrel, remember to ask me to move it next time."

Ning He nodded, she decisively let go of her hand, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Xiaohui, let go. From now on, the task of moving the wooden barrels will be left to my man." Ning He looked at He Shaochuan proudly.

Ma Xiaohui withdrew her hand in a daze. She was completely dumbfounded.

Ning He’s man turned out to be Captain He!

The two men let go of each other's hands, and He Shaochuan swiftly placed the wooden barrel full of glutinous rice on the tricycle.

Ma Xiaohui quickly said, "Congratulations, Captain!"

He Shaochuan replied calmly: "Don't worry, I will talk to Dazhuang about your help to Ning He later."

Ma Xiaohui nodded and thanked He Shaochuan gratefully: "Thank you, Captain He! Thank you and your wife for helping me so much."

Ning He smiled and said, "Okay, you've been saying thank you since yesterday. Aren't you tired? I'm tired of hearing it."

Ma Xiaohui quickly said, "I won't say any more. I'll go in and get the rest of the stuff out."

Ma Xiaohui quickly entered the kitchen.

Suddenly, He Shaochuan and Ning He were the only ones left outside the yard.

Ning He smiled and picked up the toothbrush and cup and handed them to He Shaochuan: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

He Shaochuan took it and walked to the hand pump to fill it with water: "We have to go for training today, so we have to go early."

Ning He said "oh" and watched quietly while He Shaochuan brushed his teeth.

Yesterday was the first time she saw and touched it.

After Ning He's curiosity wore off, the only thing left in his mind was shock.

Who doesn’t like majestic and magnificent scenery? She naturally likes it too.

It's just that the owner of this magnificent building is a taciturn person. From last night till now, Ning He has only thought about one question: how to make this taciturn person wise up.

If she wants to make the taciturn guy come to her senses, she has to tease him more.

"Then you have to be careful and don't get too tired. It's not worth it if you ruin your body." Ning He said to him considerately.

He Shaochuan coughed violently and almost swallowed the foamy water in his mouth.

After rinsing his mouth, he turned his head and looked at Ning He deeply: "Don't say such things in the future."

He Shaochuan naturally heard the hidden meaning in Ning He's words.

Ning He pretended not to understand and looked at him in confusion: "Ah? What kind of words? I just don't want you to be too tired. I didn't let you do anything last night."

"Ning He!" He Shaochuan lowered his voice and gave Ning He a warning look.

Ning He suppressed her laughter: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you, that's all!"

Ma Xiaohui happened to come out carrying some things, and Ning He took the opportunity to slip away and help Ma Xiaohui carry the things into the car.

Ning He couldn't stop smiling all the way to set up the stall.

Ma Xiaohui didn’t know why Ning He was smiling, but she knew that Ning He was in a particularly good mood today.

Qianlin asked Ninghe curiously, "Mom, what makes you so happy today?"

Ning He touched Qian Lin's head and told him with a smile, "I'm happy. I saw the old house catch fire with my own eyes. Of course I'm happy."

"Ah?" Qianlin said nervously, "Mom, why is the house on fire? Should we go back and put out the fire?"

Ning He burst out laughing. These two, one big and one small, are more interesting than the other.

Jiang Minke got up early and planned to set out early to meet Ninghe at the market.

When Zhou Yao heard the noise, she quickly got up and saw Jiang Minke who was eating breakfast.

She smiled and sat next to Jiang Minke: "Teacher Jiang, Xiaoyu was making a fuss last night and wants to go to the market with you today. It just so happens that he has run out of pens, so he has to go to the market to buy a few."

Jiang Minke frowned slightly: "The pens are used up so quickly? I remember I just bought a few a few days ago."

Zhou Yao's smile froze: "Teacher Jiang, you also know Xiaoyu's temper."

Jiang Minke thought about her son's lack of interest in studying and it was normal for him to not be able to find a pen every other day.

She sighed: "Is Xiaoyu up?"

Zhou Yao knew that Jiang Minke had agreed, so she quickly said, "He's up. He's probably washing up. I'll ask him to come down for dinner."

The more Zhou Yao thought about it last night, the more she felt something was wrong. She absolutely could not let that country bumpkin into the army cafeteria.

Teacher Jiang insisted on going and she had no way to persuade him. The only option now was for her to go with him.

But Zhou Yao's task was to tutor Xiaoyu in his homework here. Only if Xiaoyu clamored to go would she have the chance to go.

Zhou Yao smiled proudly thinking that she had finally gotten what she wanted and followed him.

This time, she would stop that country bumpkin no matter what!

With Ma Xiaohui's help, Ninghe's stall opening time was moved forward by an hour.

Originally it only sold lunch, but now breakfast as well is selling very well.

The two men nearby saw this and laughed out loud: "Hey, sister, you hired a helper and now you're taking away our morning business!"

The man's words were all joking, and there was no jealousy at all.

Ning He smiled and replied, "Brother, look at what you said. Now that I have hired a helper, shouldn't I work harder to make money?"

The man smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, sister is far-sighted. Have you had breakfast? Come on, have some!"

As the man spoke, he took three apples and gave them to Ning He. Another man selling oil fruits also took a bag of oil fruits and gave it to her.

"And my oil fruit, freshly cooked this morning, is still hot, come and have a try."

Ning He did not refuse and took it with a smile: "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, brothers!"

"Hey, you're welcome, right?"

Ning He shared the apples with Qian Lin and Ma Xiao Hui: "Eat them quickly while there are not many people around. You won't have time to eat when lunch comes."

Qianlin nodded, took it and started to eat it.

Ning He didn't give Ma Xiaohui a chance to hesitate and stuffed the apple into her hand.

Ning He started eating the apple.

It was soon time for lunch.

The factory workers once again poured out in droves.

Technician Fang Ming heard the chattering of the workers around him.

"Hurry up, the food at that food stand is delicious! It's very busy, if you go too late you'll have to line up very far back."

"Is it really that delicious? Better than the food in our cafeteria?"

"You'll know if it tastes good if you try it!"

Two female workers passed by Fang Ming chattering.

When they saw Fang Ming, the two female workers blushed and looked shy.

They asked quietly, "Teacher Fang, are you going out to eat today too?"
