The farce behind him didn't attract He Chaoyang's attention; he just wanted to go back and be with his little girl.
Therefore, He Chaoyang returned earlier than the other educated youth who stayed behind to watch the excitement... oh no, to support Yang Wanqiu.
As soon as He Chaoyang turned into the backyard, he saw Chen Shuning bending over and roasting chestnuts in front of the stove.
He Chaoyang had been gone for quite some time, and Chen Shuning had already washed and boiled the chestnuts, and was now stir-frying them in a pot with sugar.
Hearing the footsteps, Chen Shuning turned around and saw He Chaoyang carrying a bag of grain.
He said with a smile, "Brother He, you're back. Just put the grain on the ground over there for me, and I'll clean it up later."
He Chaoyang had seen Chen Shuning scoop grain from the vat when cooking, so he did not put the grain on the ground as Chen Shuning had instructed.
Instead, following Chen Shuning's method of storing grain, they placed the rice and flour separately in the jars under the cupboard.
While collecting the grain, He Chaoyang said disapprovingly, "Can't you just stay on the kang and rest? What are you doing here?"
Looking at the chestnuts that had been fried until they were shiny and oily, Chen Shuning replied in a good mood, "Grandpa Duan's medicine really works. My foot doesn't hurt as much anymore."
Oh, Brother He, could you please bring me that small wooden basin from the cabinet, and also take some chestnuts to Chunni and the others later?
"Thanks to them yesterday, otherwise all the chestnuts I painstakingly collected yesterday might have been taken by someone else."
In addition to the medicine given by Grandpa Duan, Chen Shuning also applied spiritual spring water to her feet, so it's no exaggeration to say that her feet no longer hurt.
You know, now is the time to hunt for treasures on the mountain, there are many good things there. How could she stay at home to recover from her injuries at this time?
Although she has no shortage of food in her space, like the chestnuts today, if she hadn't gone up the mountain to pick chestnuts yesterday, how could she openly make and eat roasted chestnuts like this?
This is the main reason why Chen Shuning has always been keen on going up the mountain to collect wild goods.
That's why yesterday, when He Chaoyang and the others came down the mountain, the two of them made a special detour to see where Chen Shuning had thrown the chestnuts.
However, by then Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi had already carried the bamboo baskets and chestnuts down the mountain, so naturally they didn't see anything.
Chen Shuning's favorite food is roasted chestnuts, so she was quite disappointed about it for a while. Although she had chestnuts in her space, she wouldn't dare to openly eat them if she hadn't found a basket of them on the mountain.
He Chaoyang didn't think as much as Chen Shuning, but he was happy to hear that Chen Shuning's foot didn't hurt anymore, so he obediently took out a small wooden basin from the cabinet that Chen Shuning pointed to.
He casually replied, "Wang Zhiqing and the others might not be back for a while."
As he spoke, He Chaoyang handed Chen Shuning the small wooden basin she wanted, and told her about Yang Wanqiu being beaten and the other educated youths watching the commotion.
Knowing that Wang Chunni and the others probably wouldn't be back for a while, Chen Shuning didn't mind. She took the small basin and filled it with chestnuts.
She roasted a whole large pot of chestnuts, so even after scooping out a small bowl, there were still quite a few left. She set the small bowl of roasted chestnuts aside.
Then He Chaoyang helped him get a larger wooden basin and scooped out the remaining chestnuts.
Chen Shuning then chuckled and directed He Chaoyang to carry the large basin, while he himself went into the house first.
He took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), pulled over a small kang table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured two cups of milk tea that he had prepared in advance, handed one cup to He Chaoyang, and then sat down at the small kang table to eat.
Looking at Chen Shuning, whose cheeks were bulging from eating like a little squirrel, and then at the milk tea in the white porcelain cup in her hand.
He Chaoyang suddenly felt a sense of peace and tranquility, and was once again grateful that he had met the little girl, which made him experience the feeling of being moved.
Sometimes he was even quite grateful to Yang Wanqiu, because if it weren't for her harassment, he probably wouldn't have changed carriages, and he wouldn't have met the little girl.
Because no one knows his own temperament better than him, if they hadn't met on the train, he might have taken care of his old classmate's sister at his request.
However, it would probably just be a phone call to find someone, and they certainly wouldn't come over in person like they have now.
If that's the case, given how many good qualities the little girl has, wouldn't someone else be sitting in my position now?
Even just this thought made He Chaoyang feel terrified.
He grabbed Chen Shuning's hand as she reached for the chestnuts and said earnestly, "Shuning, I'll write a love report when we get back, okay?"
Chen Shuning was happily eating when He Chaoyang suddenly grabbed her hand holding the chestnut. She looked up at He Chaoyang with a somewhat bewildered expression.
She had just met He Chaoyang's serious expression when she heard his words, and her face immediately turned red.
Although shy, Chen Shuning nodded slightly in agreement.
Through the past two days of their time together as boyfriend and girlfriend, Chen Shuning could sense that although He Chaoyang was somewhat aloof, seeing how he took care of her, Chen Shuning felt that He Chaoyang was someone she could entrust her life to.
Besides, it was just a relationship report, not a marriage report, so Chen Shuning agreed without any objection.
This also shows that Chen Shuning didn't understand how serious it was for soldiers in this era to report their romantic relationships.
From the day He Chaoyang reported her relationship, the military will begin investigating her family background and social connections.
This means her family will find out about her relationship.
