He Chaoyang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy. This little injury is nothing. Besides, I can't stay lying on the kang (heated brick bed) anyway, so I might as well come out and move around."
"I noticed it was getting colder and colder, and I didn't know how much coal we had left, so I thought I'd call the brigade headquarters and ask Qianjin to send some over."
Chen Shuning sighed helplessly and said, "You just can't sit still, but you can't be stubborn. Don't worry about the coal. There's still some coal left from last year, enough to burn for a while. I'll go to that place in a few days to take a look. The coal that Xinyi and the others bought there last year is also quite good."
The price isn't expensive, and they deliver to my door, which is quite convenient. Most importantly, I don't like you having too much contact with the Du family. I don't like that Du Juan, so you should have less contact with her family in the future.
He Chaoyang knew that the place Chen Shuning mentioned was the black market, and he also knew that they, as educated youth, often went to the black market to buy things. Considering that he had just had a disagreement with Du Juan a few days ago, it was indeed not a good idea to look for Du Xiangqian at this time.
Although the siblings didn't have a good relationship, his wife's words made sense, so he nodded and said, "That's fine, but it's best for a young lady like you to avoid those kinds of places. I'll go and check it out in a few days."
Chen Shuning knew that He Chaoyang was worried about her, and thought she would ask Xinyi later. So she didn't dwell on the issue with He Chaoyang and said, "I know, you don't need to worry about me. Your main task now is to take good care of yourself and recover from your injury as soon as possible, okay?"
He Chaoyang said, "Understood, little housekeeper."
Chen Shuning said, "I'm just concerned about you, don't be ungrateful."
He Chaoyang said, "Okay, okay, I know, honey. I was wrong, alright? Please don't be angry."
Chen Shuning said, "It's good that you know you were wrong, but you mustn't do it again in the future."
He Chaoyang said, "Okay, I promise I won't do it again. Don't worry, honey. I'll make sure I recover as soon as possible and won't let you worry about me."
Chen Shuning said, "That's more like it."
The two smiled at each other, their eyes filled with love.
Zhou Jihong, who hadn't left, watched the loving couple with jealousy in her eyes. She glanced deeply at the tall, handsome man, concealing her envy, placed the plate of mixed grain cakes on the stove, and silently turned to leave.
