The two walking down the street attracted a lot of attention. The man in military uniform was tall and handsome, while the petite girl had bright eyes, white teeth, and fair skin.
Now that Chen Shuning is getting enough nutrition and is frequently nourished by spiritual spring water, her appearance and temperament are naturally much better than before.
Aside from the fact that she hasn't grown taller, which is a bit of a regret for Chen Shuning, she is very satisfied with her appearance now.
However, Chen Shuning was only 1.6 meters tall in his previous life, so he was used to it and could accept being only 1.6 meters tall in this life.
Happily, he followed He Chaoyang into the state-run restaurant. The state-run restaurant in the county town was much larger than the one in Hongqi Town, and there were many more people eating there.
He Chaoyang told Chen Shuning to wait at an empty table while he went to the counter to buy food.
Sitting there, Chen Shuning saw that the waitress, who had been arrogant and didn't even raise her eyelids when she spoke, suddenly became incredibly energetic after seeing He Chaoyang. The girl, who looked to weigh at least 160 pounds, jumped up from her seat and started talking with a big smile.
Even though her aloof boyfriend always had a cold face, it didn't affect the girl's enthusiasm at all.
It wasn't until He Chaoyang brought the food towards Chen Shuning that the girl reluctantly sat back down behind the counter. However, Chen Shuning clearly saw that the girl glared at her fiercely several times before sitting down.
Of course, Chen Shuning glared back without backing down, so it wasn't until He Chaoyang placed the rice and chopsticks in front of her that she finally snapped back.
Chen Shuning stared at He Chaoyang with her hands supporting her chin, making He Chaoyang feel uneasy. He had to look down to check if there was anything wrong with himself before Chen Shuning started to giggle.
He clicked his tongue and exclaimed, "Oh dear, if someone is good-looking, they're popular everywhere. Even just having a meal together can attract young girls who fawn over them. How can I possibly feel at ease with that?"
"By the way, Brother He, that nurse who changed your dressing at the military hospital last time seemed to really like you. She'll be so happy to know you've been transferred here!"
It wasn't until He Chaoyang heard this that he realized the little girl was teasing him. Instead of getting angry, he gently patted Chen Shuning's smooth forehead and said with a smile, "Aren't you happy that I'm being transferred here?"
"What's there for me to be happy about? You're already mine, you can't run away, and you'll be in the military no matter where you are, so it doesn't make much difference to me."
"I'm sorry, my job may not allow me to spend as much time with you as other boyfriends do, but I promise I will treat you well for the rest of my life. Please believe me, okay?"
Chen Shuning's words made He Chaoyang feel somewhat guilty, as the military profession does indeed allow for very little time spent with family.
Looking at this delicate and gentle girl, I wonder if she can adapt to this kind of long-distance relationship.
Although his current rank allows his family to accompany him while he's in the military, the young girl is still too young for marriage to be realistic.
However, if they don't get married, they are destined to face the difficulty of being apart for long periods of time, since he only has so many vacation days a year.
Although they lived close by, he couldn't be with her every day like other boyfriends.
This made He Chaoyang feel a little guilty, but it was impossible for him to give up because of this. He could only make up for it by treating his wife even better in the days that followed.
Chen Shuning was taken aback by He Chaoyang's solemn words, but then smiled and nodded in agreement.
Knowing that the little girl loved sweet and sour pork, and since it was on today's menu, He Chaoyang ordered two portions: one for them and one to be packed up for Chen Ma.
There was also braised pork, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and pickled cabbage and blood sausage. He Chaoyang ordered two servings of the braised pork and stir-fried cabbage with vinegar. Only the pickled cabbage and blood sausage was too soupy to carry, so He Chaoyang didn't order more.
He Chaoyang has a large appetite, but he eats quickly. When Chen Shuning still had a little less than half a bowl of rice left, He Chaoyang had already eaten two bowls of rice.
He told Chen Shuning to stay and eat at his leisure, while he went to a nearby supply and marketing cooperative and bought three large lunchboxes and two small lunchboxes. No one knew where he got them, but when he came back, the lunchboxes were already washed.
After packing up the food that they had specifically told the waiter to make later, Chen Shuning finished eating, and the two of them carried the packed food towards the supply and marketing cooperative.
The supply and marketing cooperative in the county seat definitely had more goods than the small supply and marketing cooperative in Hongqi Town.
However, Chen Shuning couldn't compete with He Chaoyang when it came time to pay, so she didn't feel comfortable buying a lot and planned to wait until she had a chance to come over later to buy more.
He Chaoyang, perhaps sensing Chen Shuning's thoughts, bought quite a lot of things, including candies, cookies, cakes, and even two cans of malted milk powder.
No matter what Chen Shuning said, she had bought a lot of these things a few days ago, and there are still quite a few left at home, but no one could stop her.
Finally, when He Chaoyang was about to buy canned goods, Chen Shuning had to drag him out of the supply and marketing cooperative to stop him, otherwise this guy might have bought a lot more things.
On the way back, thinking about the money He Chaoyang had spent, Chen Shuning really regretted coming out with him. She was worried that he had spent all her savings in the short time they had known each other, and she was wondering if she should find some reason to help him out.
But the man just smiled innocently and said that he couldn't be stingy when buying things for his future mother-in-law, and that Chen Shuning shouldn't have stopped him from buying canned food.
This made Chen Shuning so withdrawn that she didn't want to talk anymore.
This is why Chen Shuning has never asked He Chaoyang about his family situation or his salary; otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have such concerns.
