After lunch, Yan Jingwen helped Li Shaozhong back to the west room, and Ye Shuning cleaned up the dishes.
Yan Jingwen looked around the tidy room and said, "I'm sure Ye Shuning will take good care of you. I'm relieved. Just rest and recuperate. I'll talk to the boss at the oil field and see if I can let you go back to work."
Li Shaozhong shook his head and said, "Don't waste your energy, and don't make things difficult for the leaders. Besides, I think it's pretty good here. When I get better, I'll go to the fields with the villagers and earn some money, so I won't starve."
Yan Jingwen suddenly felt very sad after hearing what Li Shaozhong said. They grew up together, studied together, and worked together, but now Li Shaozhong has ended up in such a situation.
He knew that his power was too small and he could not change anything at all, so he could only help more in the future.
Yan Jingwen had work to do and went back to his workplace without staying long.
Ye Shuning asked Li Shaozhong and Li Jingyu to take a nap together, as Li Shaozhong needed more rest.
Arriving in Fengyang Village, Li Shaozhong felt indescribably relieved to have Ye Shuning taking care of him. He hadn't lied to Yan Jingwen; he truly felt that Fengyang Village was a great place to be.
In the afternoon, the Pan family came to see Li Shaozhong.
Seeing that Li Shaozhong looked good, Pan Dongshan said, "Shaozhong, just stay in our village. At least there aren't so many disputes here. We're here to help you if you need any help."
Li Shaozhong nodded gratefully, "I feel great here too. I've really troubled you all a lot during this time."
Pan Dongshan waved his hand and said, "What's the big deal? We're not strangers. I'll let Yongnian stay here tonight so he can take care of you. How's your leg?"
Li Shaozhong touched his leg and said, "It's much better now. I have a cane and can walk on my own."
Li Shaozhong also knew that he and Ye Shuning were unmarried, and they were afraid of gossip about living under the same roof. With Li Jingyu next to them, it would be much better if Pan Yongnian came to stay with them at night.
Besides, he is still a wounded person, has difficulty moving, and needs someone to take care of him.
In the evening, Pan Yongnian came to Ye Shuning's house after dinner after school. He also liked to accompany his older brother Li Shaozhong.
After Li Shaozhong came, Li Jingyu moved to the west room to live with his third uncle. Ye Shuning went back to living alone, which made it much more convenient for her to go to the research institute at night.
Now that Li Shaozhong is at home, she can only choose to go to the institute after everyone is asleep at night. She is extremely cautious and will not go into the institute easily.
Ye Shuning now goes to the research institute to take care of the vegetables and crops she planted, and to continue building the pond.
During this period, she has built three pools, each of which is more than 20 square meters and filled with soil, all of which are very fertile soil brought from the back mountain.
She had already planted crops in all three ponds. She had already harvested a crop of corn from her small garden. The corn was growing beautifully, with large cobs and kernels, like a carefully bred variety.
Ye Shuning did not eat any of the corns except for a few tender ones she had eaten before. She let them mature and saved them for seeds.
This time she planted vegetables in both ponds and then filled the small garden with corn.
During the wheat harvest, Ye Shuning picked up some leftover wheat ears in the wheat field. She planted the plump wheat grains in a pond as seeds. This time she was also doing an experiment to see if she could grow wheat.
If it succeeds, at least I won’t have to worry about eating white flour in the future.
There was a lot of rice and flour in the institute's cafeteria, and she also found a lot of rice and flour in some of her colleagues' dormitories. However, there was more rice than flour in her colleagues' dormitories.
Lying on the kang in the west room at night, Li Shaozhong felt a sense of peace and tranquility. Thinking of Ye Shuning living in the east room, and thinking of them living under the same roof in the future, Li Shaozhong felt that fate was truly wonderful.
Who could have imagined that the little girl who had plotted against Yan Jingwen and was hated by him would now become such a graceful, gentle and strong girl? Who could have imagined that they, who had no relationship at all, would end up living together in the future?
But he felt that living with Ye Shuning would be very interesting, at least the food would be very good.
Without Li Jingyu to take care of her, Ye Shuning slept very soundly that night and got up early the next morning.
After she washed up, she took out the dough she had made last night and started kneading the buns. Then she started steaming the buns on the stove outside and steamed a bowl of egg custard for Li Jingyu.
After the steamed buns were out of the pot, she made a tomato and egg soup, a cold cucumber salad, and a dish of shredded potatoes with vinegar.
The potatoes were freshly harvested from her backyard, and they were delicious. She had harvested quite a few potatoes from the backyard, and they were large and delicious.
Pan Yongnian and Li Shaozhong got up while Ye Shuning was cooking. With Pan Yongnian's help, it became much easier for Li Shaozhong to do anything.
Ye Shuning asked Pan Yongnian to have breakfast at home before going to school. Pan Yongnian did not hesitate. The two of them were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need for polite words to each other.
Li Jingyu didn't get up and no one called him. Children sleep a lot, so let him sleep a little longer. Ye Shuning heated the egg custard in the pot.
After washing up, Li Shaozhong sat down at the dining table in the main hall with his cane. He looked at the snow-white steamed buns and the dishes on the table, then looked at Ye Shuning who was busy working and said, "Xiao Ning, you don't have to worry about me. I will eat whatever you eat.
White flour is hard to come by these days, so I'll just make corn-steamed bread. I used to eat corn-steamed bread regularly at work. I only ate steamed bread occasionally.
Ye Shuning poured a bowl of soup for Li Shaozhong, handed him the chopsticks, and said, "Okay, I'll take care of it from now on. You need nutrition right now, and we don't have much good stuff at home, but we do have some white flour. Didn't you have a lot of food delivered to us before? We have enough food at home, don't worry."
Li Shaozhong said, "Although I'm not working anymore, I still have some savings. If you need anything, just let me know. We'll live together in the future, so don't be polite to me."
Ye Shuning nodded and said, "Okay, I won't be polite. Let's eat quickly. After dinner, Yongnian will go to school, and I will go to school too. Can Jingyu accompany you? If you need anything, you can ask Jingyu to come to school to find me."
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "Don't worry about going to school. I'll be fine."
After dinner, Pan Yongnian went to school. Ye Shuning woke Li Jingyu up to have breakfast and then went to school.
Li Jingyu was very willing to follow his uncle and did not follow Ye Shuning to school.
Li Shaozhong realized something was amiss when his nephew remained silent. It seemed the recent family turmoil, his elder brother's divorce, and his mother's abandonment had deeply hurt his nephew.
Li Shaozhong looked at his nephew and asked, "Jingyu, are you willing to follow Aunt Xiaoning?"
Li Shaozhong asked this question to guide his nephew to speak.
