"I like anything you make."
Fu Hongxing casually uttered those words and went inside.
Ning Jing was so startled by Fu Hongxing's sudden flirting that she bent over and almost choked on her own saliva.
What's wrong with Fu Hongxing?
Ning Jing entered the room covering her face, only to find Fu Hongxing unchanged, checking Xiu Hua and Tie Dan's homework as before.
Then, during dinner that evening, his expression didn't change at all.
On the contrary, Ning Jing almost reached into Fu Hongxing's bowl with her chopsticks while eating.
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about something."
She glanced around at the eyes staring at her, suppressed the shame rising in her heart, calmly put down her chopsticks, took a bite of stir-fried eggs with garlic leaves from the box Fu Hongxing had brought back, and put it in Fu Hongxing's bowl.
“Your older brother works too hard to earn money, let him eat more.”
Hearing his sister-in-law's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Big brother, eat more."
Everyone picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks, ready to put it into Fu Hongxing's bowl.
Fu Hongxing gently stepped aside and said, "Your sister-in-law's food is enough. You can eat the rest yourselves."
Hearing their elder brother say that made everyone even happier.
He said "Oh" and stuffed the scrambled eggs from his chopsticks into his mouth.
It's so delicious!
Ning Jing's throat tightened again. Was this person flirting with her?
Right? No way! Right? Right!!
Just as she squinted to get a better look at Fu Hongxing's expression, he returned to his expressionless state.
Forget it, let's not worry about it.
Actually, once she got here, she wasn't really bothered to start a relationship.
After all, it seems a bit cruel to myself to grow old alone in this unfamiliar world.
In addition, after spending time with Fu Hongxing, she couldn't say she loved him, but she definitely didn't dislike him.
Moreover, she actually...cough cough...liked his physique.
However, since he didn't explicitly say whether he liked her or not, she couldn't just rush over like a lovesick fool.
Since no one mentioned it, Ning Jing simply put the matter out of her mind.
During this period, everyone was able to drink the big bone and wild vegetable soup that Ning Jing managed to get, as well as the meat dishes that Fu Hongxing brought from the coal mine.
The Fu family members had visibly gained some weight.
Wearing new clothes makes a big difference to one's overall appearance and spirit.
Including Ning Jing herself, her cheeks, which were originally so thin they were somewhat sunken, finally had a little bit of flesh hanging on her face, making her look less frighteningly thin.
Although Ning Jing felt that everyone in her family was too thin.
Compared to before, their lives now feel like a dream.
Everyone in the village praised Fu Hongxing because of his return; Ning Jing and his younger siblings had never had such an easy time.
But Xiuhua and Tiedan knew that things had changed ever since their sister-in-law woke up from her illness.
Unlike the cheerful laughter on their side, Uncle Fu's family was currently in the midst of a major argument.
"I don't care, if my wife doesn't come back, nobody can live a good life."
With red eyes, Fu Hongzhong stood up and overturned the table completely.
The few bowls and plates that were already there, along with the wild vegetables and sweet potato soup inside, were scattered all over the ground.
