Back in the cubicle, He Chaoyang immediately put on a gentle smile, placed the lunchbox on the small table, and said, "I bought the noodles you wanted."
However, I noticed the noodles in the car weren't very good, but the rice and braised pork were alright, so I got another serving of rice and vegetables. Try them first, and eat whichever you like.”
He Chaoyang carried four lunch boxes, and the first one he opened was a box of noodles.
The noodles looked uneven in thickness, and the soup, boiled in plain water, had some shredded cabbage floating on top, making it look really unappetizing.
However, the rice in the lunchbox that He Chaoyang opened later was glistening and plump, and the aroma of rice wafted out as soon as the lid was opened, clearly indicating that it was this year's new rice.
The braised pork was also glistening and moist, the stir-fried vegetables in the other lunchbox looked very tempting, and the scrambled eggs with tomatoes in the other box also looked very appetizing.
Compared to the balanced meal of meat and vegetables, the box of noodles really didn't look appetizing to Chen Shuning.
However, since he had specifically requested the noodles, Chen Shuning had no choice but to reluctantly move them to his side.
He Chaoyang could easily see the difference in Chen Shuning's gaze when looking at the food versus when looking at the noodles, and with a smile, he reached out and took the noodles from in front of Chen Shuning.
"You can have rice. You drank a bit too much yesterday, so you'd like something soupy."
Chen Shuning knew that He Chaoyang said this because he could tell she didn't want to eat noodles.
She knew that He Chaoyang had a high alcohol tolerance; he was someone who had been secretly drinking Old Master He's wine since he was a child.
So when Chen Shuning saw the rice in front of him, he was moved.
In fact, many women are like this: they don't care about a man's power and money, but they are more easily moved by such unintentional little things.
However, since he had ordered the noodles himself, Chen Shuning resolutely brought them back.
"I don't want to eat rice. I don't have much of an appetite this morning and can't eat rice."
By the way, Brother He, where can I get hot water? I cooked some red dates and longan at home to replenish blood, but it was a bit too concentrated, so I need to dilute it with some hot water before drinking it.
"You eat first, I'll go get some hot water to make a cup, you can drink it after you finish eating, otherwise the rice will be too dry."
Hearing Chen Shuning say this, He Chaoyang stopped worrying and said with a smile, "No rush, you eat first, and I'll go get some hot water after you finish eating, and wash the lunchbox at the same time."
"No, I haven't brushed my teeth yet. You eat first, I'll go brush my teeth and come right back."
He Chaoyang couldn't persuade Chen Shuning otherwise, so he pointed out the direction of the water room to her. Watching the little girl skip away with the basin in her hand, He Chaoyang couldn't help but think of the first time the two of them met.
He was immediately captivated by the little girl's lively and adorable appearance.
Then I remembered that my little girl always makes soup when she eats.
However, there was no soup for sale on the dining car, and it was breakfast time, so the staff on the dining car were busy. Therefore, He Chaoyang felt embarrassed to ask them to make a separate bowl of soup.
So he took out a cup and malted milk powder from his bag, intending to make a cup for the little girl to drink after her meal.
The atmosphere between the two people here was warm and harmonious, but the atmosphere next door was not so good.
Wu Shufen was originally an educated youth from Beijing who was sent to the village where He Weian lived.
The reason he colluded with He Weian was because he was interested in He Weian's position as battalion commander.
At that time, the Shen family had just experienced a misfortune. He Weian was unable to take care of the children by himself, so he sent the two children back to the village to be cared for by their grandmother.
However, the two children were raised by his wife alone, and her accident caused great harm to the two children, especially his son, who did not speak or communicate with anyone for a long time.
Worried about his son, He Weian often took leave to come back and take care of the child during that period.
After a while, he caught the eye of Wu Shufen, who couldn't adapt to rural life.
It's important to know that at that time, He Weian hadn't been reported yet and was still the acting battalion commander, with the expectation of being officially appointed by the end of the year.
He was undoubtedly the most promising man in the village; even the village head had to treat He Weian with respect.
Moreover, while others might not know, Wu Shufen was well aware that in the military, the families of officers at the battalion level were eligible to accompany their husbands to the military base.
So, in order to get rid of the situation of farming in the countryside as soon as possible, Wu Shufen, a young and beautiful 17-year-old, did not hesitate to scheme to have a relationship with He Weian, a middle-aged man whose eldest daughter was already 12 years old, before marriage.
He Wei'an, who had just been forced to divorce his wife, was forced to marry her.
Everything was planned perfectly, but who could have imagined that He Weian would be reported to the authorities right after the two got their marriage certificate?
She had barely settled into her position as the battalion commander's wife when she was happily given the new title of platoon leader He's wife.
Not only did the plan to accompany him to the army fall through, but the man was also transferred to a remote mountain village and couldn't come home for months at a time.
As a result, in addition to working in the fields like other educated youth, she is now also responsible for taking care of the two children left behind by He Weian's ex-wife.
What's most infuriating are those two little brats. The older one is already twelve, and the younger one is eight. They're not easy to fool at all.
If anything goes wrong, she'll run to her child's grandmother's house to complain, making the whole village think that she, as the stepmother, is abusing them.
Her in-laws, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law all treated her like a thief, and even He Weian was wary of her. To this day, he still doesn't hand over the family's money or his salary to her.
