Ye Shuning frowned and looked at Li Shaozhong for a long time, while Li Shaozhong was extremely nervous waiting for Ye Shuning's decision.
Ye Shuning had calmed down by now. She admitted that because of their time together, she had some feelings for Li Shaozhong, but she couldn't say she liked him too much. After all, she had never been in love in her past life, so she didn't know how to like a man, nor did she know what it meant to like him.
This has nothing to do with her mental age, because she has never been involved in this field and is really a novice.
She thought of the period novel that had written about Li Shaozhong, who had never married and remained single all his life due to poor health. Now, thanks to her intervention, Li Shaozhong's health was rapidly improving. He would not get sick during this period, and would not suffer from any sequelae. He would be a healthy person.
Ye Shuning was flattered and inexplicably happy to be confessed to by the future boss.
She knew that Li Shaozhong was a very good person, with a gentle personality and integrity. He was also, rarely, free of the male chauvinism that was so common in this era. He was indeed a good marriage partner.
She thought she could give it a try with him. She also felt that she had some feelings for Li Shaozhong.
Thinking of this, she looked at the rather nervous Li Shaozhong, raised the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "How about we give it a try?"
When Li Shaozhong heard this, he knew that Ye Shuning agreed. He excitedly lifted Ye Shuning up and spun her around, shouting, "That's great, Xiaoning, that's great, thank you."
Ye Shuning didn't expect Li Shaozhong to be so excited. She quickly clapped Li Shaozhong's hands and shouted, "Put me down quickly. The child is still next to us."
Upon hearing this, Li Shaozhong turned around and saw his nephew staring at them with wide eyes. He put Ye Shuning down a little embarrassedly and said with a chuckle, "Thank you, Xiaoning, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not let you down."
Ye Shuning couldn't bear to look at Li Shaozhong's silly grin. How could such a handsome and elegant young man become such a fool?
Ye Shuning shook her head and said, "I'll have to observe your performance for a while. If you don't meet the requirements, I'll have to take back my previous decision."
Upon hearing this, Li Shaozhong immediately saluted and said, "Please rest assured, my future daughter-in-law, I will definitely meet all your requirements."
At this time, Li Shaozhong seemed to be much younger. He was no longer as calm as before and became much more lively, like a young boy.
Ye Shuning smiled and patted Li Shaozhong, "What future daughter-in-law? Don't yell like that, or my dad will spank you."
Li Shaozhong chuckled and said, "I've already told Uncle Ye about my idea a long time ago, and Uncle Ye agreed to let me pursue you."
Ye Shuning didn't expect that her father had already known Li Shaozhong's thoughts, but her father didn't reveal it to her at all, and it seemed that he was also taking a wait-and-see attitude.
Li Shaozhong said, "I'll write to my parents in a few days to tell them about us. They'll definitely be happy for me."
Ye Shuning didn't expect Li Shaozhong to be so anxious. "Isn't this too soon? Will your parents agree?"
Li Shaozhong smiled and said, "No, my mother has been urging me to get married. She likes you very much, and so does my father. They will only be happy to know about us. Don't forget the relationship between your father and my father. We are together just what they want."
Ye Shuning felt that Li Shaozhong's parents were indeed very reasonable people and easy to get along with, so she felt a lot more at ease.
It was already afternoon, and Ye Shuning asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Li Shaozhong said, "I made porridge and hot steamed buns for breakfast. Jingyu and I ate them together. You haven't had lunch yet, right? I'll make some for you."
Ye Shuning quickly grabbed Li Shaozhong and said, "We ate on the way and are not hungry. Ling Xuan is staying at our house today, so I have to pack up. Fortunately, it's not too cold yet, so we don't need a thick blanket."
Li Shaozhong said, "I'll tidy up the things on the kang in the west room, and it will be no problem for another person to live here."
Ye Shuning said, "If you feel it's too crowded, let Jingyu sleep with me in the east room for two days. I estimate that my dad will have to send Lingxuan away in two days, so we can just make do for two days."
Li Shaozhong shook his head. "No, the west room is perfectly accommodating. I'll clean it up. You can come back from the county town and take a rest first and have some water."
Li Shaozhong, the new boyfriend, immediately began to show concern for his girlfriend. Ye Shuning felt that it was not bad to have a boyfriend like this.
Ye Shuning pinched Li Jingyu's little face, whose mouth was covered with cake crumbs, and cleaned the west room with Li Shaozhong.
The west room was actually quite clean, except for the unoccupied area on the kang, which was covered with a mat, making it impossible to sleep in. Ye Shuning found a mattress and spread it on top; at least it wasn't too hard.
When it was just getting dark, Li Shaozhong took a flashlight and went out of the village to pick up Ye Xingguo, while Ye Shuning was preparing dinner at home.
Li Shaozhong heard the voice as soon as he walked out of the village. He called out softly, "Is that Uncle Ye?"
Ye Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Li Shaozhong's voice and replied, "It's me."
Li Shaozhong walked forward a few steps and saw a young man over 1.7 meters tall following Uncle Ye. He thought this was the Ling Xuan that Ye Shuning mentioned.
Li Shaozhong said, "Uncle Ye, everyone is having dinner now. There's no one outside. Let's go home quickly. Xiao Ning has prepared the meal."
Ye Xingguo nodded and said, "Then hurry back. We'll talk about it in detail when we get back."
As he said that, he pulled Ling Xuan and said, "Let's go quickly, we're home."
Ling Xuan was tired and hungry at this time, and he really wanted to find a place to rest. He was very happy that he finally arrived at Sister Xiaoning's house.
Now that he had a place to stay, at least he didn't have to worry about being captured.
The three of them arrived home quickly, and fortunately they didn't meet anyone on the way.
Seeing her father coming back with Ling Xuan, Ye Shuning quickly got some water to wash her face. "Dad, Ling Xuan, you guys must be hungry. Wash your faces first. The food is ready. Let's eat right away."
Ye Shuning brought Ling Xuan a new towel, and Ling Xuan's enthusiasm dispelled a lot of his anxiety.
Ye Shuning introduced Li Shaozhong and Li Jingyu to Ling Xuan.
Ye Shuning prepared a sumptuous dinner, including braised pork, sweet and sour crucian carp, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eggplant casserole, stir-fried rapeseed and white rice.
Everyone sitting at the table was attracted by the aroma of the food.
Ling Xuan had been starving these days, and today when he saw such a sumptuous meal, he couldn't help but drool.
Ye Shuning poured Ling Xuan a large bowl of rice and said, "You must be hungry. Eat as much as you want. If you're full, you're welcome."
Ling Xuan took the bowl filled with white rice and his eyes couldn't help but moisten. He nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Xiao Ning."
Ye Xingguo picked up the bowl and said, "The conditions in the countryside are limited, but your sister Xiao Ning's cooking skills are very good. I guarantee you'll want more. Eat now, and you'll have a good rest after you're full."
