Chen Shuning, who had guessed that Gu Xinyi had the cheat device of a spatial dimension, wasn't too worried about her safety. If things got really bad, she could just hide in the space; at least her life wouldn't be in danger.
So after helping Gu Xinyi lock the door, he walked towards his own little house.
It was completely dark by then. Chen Shuning returned to the back of her house, locked the door, and went into her space. She glanced at the media room and found that He Chaoyang was not there.
Knowing that He Chaoyang couldn't freely enter or leave the space without her guidance, Chen Shuning began searching within it.
They searched the villa inside and out but couldn't find anyone. Finally, they spotted the tall figure in the orchard from the third-floor terrace.
It turned out that Chen Shuning was thinking that Gu Xinyi was not in a good state, and he should spend more time with her, so he asked He Chaoyang to go into the space first to watch a movie or something.
However, He Chaoyang felt that the movie was better watched with his wife, so he took a military book that he hadn't finished reading last time and went to the third-floor terrace, intending to sit in the rocking chair there and read for a while.
The temperature in the space was always kept at the most comfortable temperature for the human body. He Chaoyang, dressed in his home clothes, sat on the rocking chair on the terrace and read a book for a while. He wanted to get up and look into the distance to rest his eyes.
He discovered that all the fruit in the orchard was ripe, so he put down his book and went to the orchard to pick the ripe fruit.
When Chen Shuning found the orchard, He Chaoyang was picking cherries on the tree, and there were several baskets of fruit already picked under the tree.
Chen Shuning's space orchard has a complete variety of fruit trees, but the quantity of each variety is not very large. In her previous life, although she sold vegetables and fruits online, she only sold small quantities at high prices, and her target customers were only people who were not short of money.
However, because the fruit tastes good and is of high quality, almost all the fruit in her shop is sold out as soon as it is put on the shelves.
In this life, due to the limitations of the era, Chen Shuning only occasionally sells common fruits such as apples and oranges. As for fruits like cherries and durians, she only picks some when she has time and puts them in the basement to eat herself. When she doesn't have time, she just lets them hang on the tree in their ripe state.
That's the good thing about this space; mature crops will automatically stop growing and remain on the tree in their best condition. That's why Chen Shuning hasn't touched those niche fruits for a while.
Unexpectedly, He Chaoyang picked them all today.
Looking at the man who was covered in sweat from exhaustion, Chen Shuning felt both sorry for him and amused.
Standing under the tree, he shouted, "Didn't I tell you to go see a movie? Why are you here?"
He Chaoyang, who was in the tree, had actually seen Chen Shuning coming over a long time ago, but the cherries on the tree in front of him were about to be picked, so he was in no hurry to get down from the tree.
He didn't stop working after hearing his wife's words. He picked the plump, round fruits and put them into the basket on his chest, while smiling and replying, "I was thinking of waiting for you to come in and take a look together. I just happened to see that the fruits here are all ripe, so I came over."
"Is everything alright with Gu Zhiqing? I thought you'd be staying a little longer before you came back."
While speaking, He Chaoyang picked the last few fruits from the tree, then nimbly climbed down, put the half-full basket of cherries together with other fruits, picked up another empty basket and walked over to the nearby rose apple tree.
But Chen Shuning quickly grabbed him, pointed to the yellow-skinned fruit tree next to him and said, "I ate a bit too much for dinner and my stomach is a little bloated. Brother He, why don't you go and pick some yellow-skinned fruit for me? We can leave the rest for now. Anyway, it's just the two of us eating them, and if we pick too many, they'll just pile up in the basement."
He Chaoyang thought about it and realized that many people had never even seen the fruits his wife had, let alone eaten them. Naturally, they couldn't be shown to others. Only he was fortunate enough to eat these fruits that no one else had ever heard of.
So he obediently picked a small basket of wampee for his wife, handed it to Chen Shuning, and then smiled and pointed to the wooden chair next to him, saying, "You sit down and eat first, I'll go pick some more of your favorite fruits and then we'll go back."
Not only was there no pollution in the space, but the fruit trees were also irrigated with spiritual spring water, so you could eat them directly after you came down from the tree. Therefore, Chen Shuning obediently took a basket and sat on the wooden chair under the tree, eating while watching He Chaoyang move among the fruit trees, picking a small basket of each of her favorite fruits.
"Brother He, let's send some more wine to Grandpa and Grandpa's maternal grandfather tomorrow. It's all homemade with spiritual spring water, and it's good for their health."
Oh, right, I need to send some to my grandpa's side as well.
When my mom went back last time, she brought him two bottles. My mom said that my grandpa only drank one bottle, and the old leg pain that had bothered him for many years was cured!
My grandparents were wounded in battle when they were young, so drinking more of this should be beneficial for them.
Hearing his wife say this, He Chaoyang couldn't help but laugh, his words full of gratitude: "The journey is too far, and it's not convenient to mail items like wine."
"Let's wait until we have a chance to go home later to bring them back. But the four elderly people are all in good health now, Shuning, I really need to thank you properly."
After learning about the existence of the spiritual spring water, He Chaoyang quickly understood why Chen Shuning had secretly given it to the elderly couple from the He and Lu families.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Grandpa on the maternal side suddenly recovered their health, not because they were in high spirits due to good news, but because they were happy to see their eldest grandson getting married.
It was all thanks to his wife.
Therefore, he had actually wanted to thank Chen Shuning in person for a long time.
Chen Shuning was well aware of the meaning behind He Chaoyang's "thank you," but she still humbly replied, "We're all family, why are you being so polite with me? Besides, my grandparents and maternal grandparents have been so good to me, I also hope they are healthy and live to be a hundred years old."
