Now that He Chaoyang knows the secret of her space, Chen Shuning finds things much more convenient.
For dinner tonight, Chen Shuning decided to be lazy and only made rice as the main dish.
As for the dishes, she plans to pick them up at the shopping center in the space.
Because He Chaoyang likes strong-flavored dishes and also has a special fondness for sweets.
Therefore, Chen Shuning planned to go to the famous Sichuan restaurant in the shopping mall and get a few of their signature dishes.
Then, they went to a Northeastern Chinese restaurant and ordered a plate of sweet and sour pork, which they both loved.
Heilongjiang Province has now entered winter, and it gets dark early at night, with the sky turning completely dark around four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
To be honest, keeping this huge secret to herself in her previous life had always put a lot of pressure on Chen Shuning, but now that someone was sharing this secret with her, a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
I have to say, it feels really good to have someone to share with.
While Chen Shuning was sitting in front of the stove, seemingly watching the fire, his consciousness had already sunk into the space, looking through the final dishes in that Sichuan restaurant.
Chen Shuning wasn't worried at all that their secret affair would be discovered.
Because the moment she closes the door to her little house and draws the curtains, the outside world will be shut out, leaving only their little world. Then they can eat whatever they want and do whatever they want.
Moreover, in the entire educated youth compound, she was only close to Gu Xinyi, Wang Chunni, and Xu Laidi; no one else had ever come to visit her so often.
However, all three of them have been quite busy lately and haven't had time to visit her.
During this time, Wang Chunni and Xu Laidi were busy storing firewood for the winter, and they were so tired that they went to bed early every night. They really didn't have time to visit her.
The other one has recently become obsessed with a card game from Heilongjiang Province. The game is similar to Mahjong in later generations, except that it is played with playing cards.
This type of card game is not limited by the number of participants, making it very flexible.
So, every evening after dinner, Gu Xinyi would enthusiastically pull Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi along to immerse themselves in the fun of card games.
With Gu Xinyi so focused on her world of cards, she naturally had no time to disturb her and He Chaoyang's time together, which made Chen Shuning feel incredibly relaxed.
That's why Chen Shuning dared to steal food so blatantly.
Actually, she had thought about taking He Chaoyang to eat in the space, since the environment inside was much better than outside.
But she was also worried that it was too early. If something important happened outside, she could hear the sounds outside when she was inside, but if someone played music or watched a movie, she wouldn't be able to hear clearly. If there was an emergency outside, that would be troublesome.
After all, things at the educated youth compound have been complicated lately. There are two female educated youths who are getting married, and who knows what unexpected events might happen? So we still need to be careful.
Gu Xinyi found enjoyment in card games and became immersed in them; while Chen Shuning enjoyed her time alone with He Chaoyang. They each spent their time as educated youth in different ways.
After Chen Shuning ladled out the cooked rice and placed it on the table, she stepped out and softly called He Chaoyang home for dinner.
Just then, He Chaoyang neatly placed the last wooden stump in the woodshed. Upon hearing the sound, he quickly responded, then carefully locked the woodshed door and stepped inside.
After entering the house, He Chaoyang went to the basin and carefully washed his hands and face with the warm water that Chen Shuning had prepared in advance.
After washing, he changed out of his dirty clothes and tossed them into the basin to soak. Once everything was ready, He Chaoyang prepared to go inside for dinner.
However, as soon as he lifted one foot into the room, he was surprised to find that the table, which had originally only contained rice, was now magically transformed by his wife's delicate white hands, with plates of delicious-looking dishes appearing on the table as if by magic.
Even though he already knew his wife's secret, the incredible scene still startled He Chaoyang.
His first reaction was to quickly lower the curtain, turn around and go out, and lock the door, as if only in this way could he ensure his safety.
Back inside, He Chaoyang's gaze was drawn to the scene before him. The once empty table was now laden with mouthwatering delicacies, emitting an enticing aroma.
Although his wife didn't cook these meals herself, He Chaoyang knew that she had prepared them with care and that they represented her trust in him.
A surge of emotion welled up in He Chaoyang's heart. He looked at his wife with eyes full of tenderness and love.
At that moment, he felt the warmth and happiness of home. These seemingly ordinary details of life formed the most precious memories between them.
Looking at the dishes laid out on the table, there was fragrant spicy chicken, delicious Mapo tofu, tasty shredded pork with garlic sauce, tender and smooth sliced beef and tripe in chili sauce, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside sweet and sour pork, and a plate of spicy and tempting diced rabbit.
There seemed to be a lot of spicy food tonight, so Chen Shuning specially found a yam and pork rib soup from another restaurant to relieve the spiciness.
Six dishes and a soup, plus two bowls of rice—such a sumptuous meal would be too much for two people to finish, even if He Chaoyang had a large appetite.
The two thoroughly enjoyed the food, eating until their bellies were round and full.
Looking at the still-leftover food, Chen Shuning felt a surge of emotion. She realized she had taken a bit too much food, and she was used to not wasting a single grain.
