After suffering a great loss, Yang Wanqiu became well-behaved after returning to the educated youth compound, but in private, her gaze towards Chen Shuning and He Chaoyang seemed to be poisoned.
Zhao Qianjin only found out about this the next day, when he overheard the village aunties gossiping about it while he was at work.
Impulsively, he went to find Shen Wenge intending to fight, but after Shen Wenge revealed his identities as three brothers-in-law and cousins, he immediately backed down and obediently returned to the fields to earn his work points.
Moreover, after learning that Yang Wanqiu had been taken advantage of by someone like Shen Wenge, he even forgot his promise to take care of Yang Wanqiu. Not to mention providing her with three meals a day, fetching water and chopping wood, he couldn't even find a trace of Yang Wanqiu.
Yang Wanqiu hated him so much that she cursed him a lot behind his back.
Regarding the issue of meals during her recovery period, Yang Wanqiu had considered asking Gu Xinyi for help. After all, Gu Xinyi was the one who ate the best in the entire educated youth settlement, and Yang Wanqiu, who had long wanted to find an opportunity to eat with her, thought this was a perfect opportunity.
But because of the incident with Gao Hongyuan, Gu Xinyi was in no mood to cook, and these past two days she had been just grabbing whatever was convenient for her meals.
In addition, her falling out with Gao Hongyuan was ultimately because of Yang Wanqiu. Even if she didn't say it, Gu Xinyi still harbored some resentment towards Yang Wanqiu.
So when Yang Wanqiu suggested having dinner together and asking Gu Xinyi to take care of her while she was recovering, Gu Xinyi immediately refused and left without even giving a reason.
Yang Wanqiu hated her so much that she regarded her as the person she hated most besides Chen Shuning. In the days that followed, she caused Gu Xinyi a lot of trouble. If it weren't for Gao Hongyuan taking care of her, it would have been difficult for Gu Xinyi to return to the city unharmed.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Even if Yang Wanqiu was angry, she still had to eat. So after going hungry for a day, she had no choice but to follow Chen Shuning's example and pay one cent to the old house every day, asking the old educated youth to bring her food out. Of course, she still had to pay for her own food rations.
As for Gao Hongyuan, no one knows what Zhang Tingting did, but in the end, she got Tian Mi's wish. Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi brought the food rations to Tian Mi and the others, and that's how the four of them started eating together.
Although it had only been a few days, Gao Hongyuan and Wang Zhi's appetites had been spoiled by Gu Xinyi. After eating Zhang Tingting's cooking for a few days, the two of them began to miss the days when they were eating with Gu Xinyi.
So, after his friend kept nagging him all day long, and after calming down and realizing that he had also done something inappropriate, Gao Hongyuan began to reflect on his attitude.
However, because he couldn't bring himself to apologize to Gu Xinyi, he began to intentionally or unintentionally create various opportunities to meet her, and their relationship eased somewhat during these encounters.
As for Chen Shuning, He Chaoyang only had three days off. Although he was reluctant, he still had to leave. He went up the mountain to chop firewood early in the morning and returned late at night for the past two days, but he still couldn't fill Chen Shuning's woodshed.
You should know that when Shen Dahe first heard that Chen Shuning was afraid of the cold, he brought over all the mud bricks from his own house and built a big and sturdy woodshed for Chen Shuning.
So even if He Chaoyang is very capable, it is impossible for him to fill the woodshed in two days.
Even so, Chen Shuning was already very grateful to He Chaoyang. The night before he left, Chen Shuning was busy in the kitchen of the space until late at night.
I dare not take anything too conspicuous. Although there is chicken, duck, fish and meat in the space, I can't explain where the things come from.
So Chen Shuning could only make some food for He Chaoyang using what was available.
He Chaoyang liked the salt and pepper biscuits that were made last time. They also keep well. Chen Shuning made quite a lot, so even if He Chaoyang couldn't finish them, he could take them back for his comrades to try.
There were also big steamed buns with pork and cabbage, which Chen Shuning also steamed a pot of. In addition to these, Chen Shuning also steamed a pot of pumpkin cake. Anyway, the milk powder was indeed sent by her older brother. If she added some milk, she wouldn't be able to tell the difference. It was available at the supply and marketing cooperative in Tangzhen. Eggs and coconut flakes could be exchanged in the village, so it wasn't anything special.
There's also the old saying, "dumplings before getting on the train, noodles after getting off." Chen Shuning even took the time to make a whole tray of dumplings and put them in the freezer, planning to cook them for He Chaoyang for breakfast the next morning.
However, after finishing the food, Chen Shuning realized that it seemed to be mostly staple food, so he hurriedly found a few retro-style canned goods from the supermarket.
After removing the packaging and the canned goods inside, they filled it with mushroom and meat sauce that He Chaoyang liked, and also pickled two small jars of kimchi. Chen Shuning had bought several of these pickling jars, and they weren't expensive. He could buy a few more after the autumn harvest.
After preparing the food, Chen Shuning thought for a moment and then brewed a pot of milk tea. Finding that the kettle couldn't hold much, Chen Shuning filled a small pickling jar to the brim. Anyway, He Chaoyang had driven there, so he could take more things with him.
Looking at the table piled high with food, Chen Shuning finally felt that he could make up for some of the favors he had owed over the past two days.
To be honest, just thinking about He Chaoyang going up the mountain to chop firewood early in the morning and returning late at night these past two days makes Chen Shuning feel tired.
She had tried to persuade He Chaoyang not to work so hard, suggesting that she could go to the mountains to collect firewood with everyone after the autumn harvest.
But He Chaoyang agreed verbally, yet he turned around and went up the mountain with his tools again.
Chen Shuning, who was busy with the autumn harvest, couldn't take leave. Every day, she could only try to finish her work as quickly as possible and cook some good food to reward He Chaoyang when she got back.
