Cooking with two pots is fast, and soon everyone sat at the table and started eating.
"Hmm, it's delicious. I've been wanting to eat this for a long time." Ye Xingguo praised his daughter's cooking skills while eating with big mouthfuls.
Then he looked at Li Shaozhong proudly and said, "You will be blessed in the future if you marry my daughter. There are not many people who can have this skill."
Li Shaozhong nodded as he ate. "Xiao Ning's cooking skills are amazing. But I won't rely on Xiao Ning to cook for me in the future. I will learn cooking skills so that I can cook for Xiao Ning."
Ye Xingguo was very satisfied with Li Shaozhong's attitude. "Then I support you. No one says that only women can cook. Aren't all the chefs who cook delicious food men?"
Seeing the two men enjoying their meal and showing off their loyalty, Ye Shuning shook her head in amusement and picked up some food for Li Jingyu, looking for the meaty and tender chicken for the child. The little guy's mouth was full of oil.
Everyone was very satisfied with the meal. Even little Li Jingyu ate a lot.
After cleaning up the dishes and eating for a while, Ye Shuning made a pot of tea for her father, and several people sat in the main room to drink tea and chat.
Ye Xingguo said, "Shaozhong, your parents should have settled down, right?"
Li Shaozhong nodded and said, "My second brother wrote to me, saying that everything is going well with my parents. My dad was given a lateral transfer this time, but leaving Kyoto is also considered a demotion."
Ye Xingguo said: "It's nothing. Staying outside for a few years is just the right way to avoid the troubles in Kyoto. I can go back later. As long as I'm fine, nothing else will be a problem."
Li Shaozhong agreed with his future father-in-law's words. "My dad figured this out a long time ago and has been working in this direction. It's thanks to Xiaoning's reminder that nothing serious happened at home this time. We were prepared in advance, otherwise it would have been really dangerous."
Ye Shuning said, "I also overheard other people's conversation and just reminded them. You guys should make the rest."
Li Shaozhong said with a smile: "If it weren't for your reminder, we wouldn't have woken up. You have made the greatest contribution."
Li Shaozhong looked at Ye Shuning with tenderness in his eyes. Ye Shuning's cheeks also turned red.
Ye Xingguo felt a little jealous when watching the interaction between the two young people in front of him. Is this what some young people used to call "showing off their love"?
Ye Xingguo suddenly shuddered, "I told you two to be more careful, I'm still sitting here."
Li Shaozhong didn't dare to say anything more after being called out by his future father-in-law. Instead, he talked about his plan, "Uncle Ye, I want to write a letter to my parents and tell them about Xiao Ning and me. I also want to get engaged to Xiao Ning soon. You have to return to the army soon, and if Xiao Ning and I get engaged, it will be legitimate. No one will gossip about me taking care of her."
After all, getting engaged in this place is almost the same as getting married, so no one would say anything even if he still lived in Ye Shuning's house.
Ye Xingguo had already thought of this and nodded, saying, "You're right. Talk to your parents and see what they think."
The next day, Li Shaozhong wrote a letter and asked Pan Yongnian to help mail it.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was harvest season. Not only were the adults busy, but the children were also busy. The village primary school also had a harvest holiday, and Ye Shuning followed suit and went to the fields.
However, she led the children to do the finishing work in the fields. For example, after harvesting soybeans, she asked the children to pick up some fallen bean heads or pods, and after harvesting sweet potatoes, peanuts, potatoes, etc., she asked the children to look for any leftovers.
When harvesting wheat before, Ye Shuning tried to use her mental power to check the wheat ears, and now she can also check other things.
Ye Shuning's mental power can currently only cover an area of dozens of meters around her. She and the children bend down from time to time to pick up the fallen bean buds and pods in the fields and put them in baskets.
The weather was very hot and dry, and some bean pods burst open because they dried out, and the beans inside fell into the fields and were covered by leaves or soil. Although this situation was rare, there were still many beans left in the fields.
Ye Shuning set her sights on these beans. Many children could not find these beans, and they did not have the patience to look for small beans in such a large field.
Ye Shuning used her mental power to collect all the unwanted beans that were left behind. Ye Shuning's pace in the field was not very fast, and it only took a few breaths for her mental power to collect the beans within a few dozen meters around her.
So in order not to waste her mental power, she would collect her mental power within a few dozen meters around her, so that she could use her mental power for a longer time.
Ye Shuning wore a sun hat, but it was still very hot. Li Shaoxin felt sorry for her and followed her to work in the fields. Pan Dongshan didn't want him to do heavy work, so he asked him to pick beans with Ye Shuning.
Pan Dongshan also knew about Li Shaozhong and Ye Shuning's story, and he was happy that the two young people were able to get together. Both children were very good children, and they could help and take care of each other together, which was really great.
Li Shaozhong also wore a straw hat woven by Ye Shuning. He looked at Ye Shuning, who was sweating profusely, and felt distressed. "Xiao Ning, why don't you just not come tomorrow? I can come in your place."
Ye Shuning would never give up this good opportunity to collect food. She straightened up, wiped the sweat from her face and said, "It's okay. Children can do this job and it's not tiring. It's not a big deal except for the heat. I can stick with it. It's just a little bit of sun at noon, and it's still quite cool in the morning and evening."
You don't have to come, no one will say anything if you just rest at home."
Li Shaozhong said, "I'm actually fine, but Uncle Pan is worried and doesn't want me to do any heavy work. It's not bad for me to do this with you."
Li Shaozhong opened the water bottle on his back and handed it to Ye Shuning, "Drink some water and take a rest. You look so hot."
Ye Shuning drank some water and handed the kettle back to Li Shaozhong. Seeing that Li Shaozhong was also sweating profusely, she took out a handkerchief and wiped him.
Li Shaoxin was very happy to receive the preferential treatment from the little girl, and he was also happy to work with Ye Shuning.
Ye Shuning saw that they were almost at the edge of the field, where they could sit down and rest for a while. Over the past two days, a pile of soybeans had appeared in her research lab, weighing about two hundred pounds. These were all beans left in the field, quite a lot.
If these beans were not collected, they would soon mold, sprout, or be eaten by animals such as rats. But now they are a good deal for her.
Ye Shuning often uses the morning and evening time to stroll in the fields. She walks fast and can cover a lot of ground in half an hour. She also keeps spreading her mental power, and all the soybean grains within the coverage of her mental power are collected into the space of her research institute.
