"I'll find someone to help you transport it when the time comes. It's okay."

Xu Niannian pushed these things and saw that he had no intention of entering the house:

"Aren't you going in?"

"We're not married yet. Will it be bad for you to go in?"

"It's okay. I'm a barefoot doctor in the countryside now, and villagers often come to me for treatment."

After hearing this, Lu Huaijin did not hesitate and walked over.

However, when he saw Xu Niannian enter the house, he still stopped at the door.

When Xu Niannian saw that he didn't come in, she thought he was a sensible person.

It just so happened that she took five pears, some meat sauce and pork jerky from the space.

Things like steamed buns were not put into the backpack.

Carrying a heavy backpack and walking out of the door:

"How many days will you stay here?"

After asking the question, I felt that I shouldn’t ask this kind of question. I wondered if it involved confidential information.

"It's okay. If you can't say it, don't say it."

Lu Huaijin didn't expect that she was prepared to be a military wife:

"It's okay. I've finished my work here and will leave tomorrow morning."

Xu Niannian introduced the contents to him:

"There's a big bottle of meat sauce in there, and a few small bottles of meat sauce. You can eat the big one yourself, and you can share the small ones with others. There are also a few pears. You can keep them for yourself on the train."

Lu Huaijin smiled:

"Aren't you going to keep me here for dinner?"

Xu Niannian's grip on the backpack tightened:

“Can you still eat here?”

But after realizing it, I really felt like I was chasing people away:

"That's not what I meant. I meant, won't it delay work?"

"It's okay."

If he guessed correctly, the people he had just met would definitely spread the news that Xu Niannian brought back a man throughout the village.

It was indeed true. The news spread like wildfire and within half an hour everyone in the village knew about it.

"It is said that he even rode back on a bicycle, and the two of them seemed quite close."

Shen Tingting remembered what her sister had written in the letter she had received.

Xu Niannian had a falling out with her family, and now all her food and drinks are paid for by that officer. I don’t know if the officer knows that she is behaving like this, as she has hooked up with another man.

If you ask her, she must be attracted by the other person's money.

She pretended to sigh casually:

"How could she do this? The money she spent on going to the countryside was all paid by the officers, why did she change to another one?"

After saying that, he covered his mouth, as if he realized that he had said something that he shouldn't say.

However, this sentence did attract the attention of other people. Both the educated youth and the nearby villagers came over to inquire about the matter.

She pretended to be calm and said two more words:

"It is said that Xu Zhiqing was attracted by her family's good conditions. She was a military officer and her family was rich."

He didn't say anything else after that. Gao Jialong found it interesting because his family had money.

If you just like money, it would be easy.

Song Qianjin felt that Xu Niannian was not to be judged by appearance, and turned out to be a person who despised the poor and loved the rich.

In this era, people advocate thrift and diligence. How could she despise the poor and love the rich?

If the inner beauty cannot match the outer beauty, it is still not beautiful.

After a while, there was more news coming from the front!!!

"That man followed Xu Zhiqing into the village chief's house and hasn't come out yet."

Everyone looked at each other. It would have been fine if they had just sent Xu Zhiqing back, but now they couldn't deny anything.

Song Laosan got angry when he heard this and wanted to go home to take a look.

Stopped by Uncle Song:

"Xiao Xu is a man of sense. Why are you going back in such a fuss? It's like you're going to catch someone having an affair. But what does that have to do with you? What qualifications do you have?"

Yes, what qualifications does he have?

Holding his breath, he worked frantically in the fields.

At the village chief's house, Xu Niannian looked at the man in front of her. Although the two were about to become husband and wife, they still felt a little strange to each other.

She pushed the backpack in her hand into his arms:

"I'll go make you some food."

Lu Huaijin looked at the backpack that was stuffed into his hand. It was so heavy that he didn't know how many delicious foods were put in it.

He put the things aside and quickly followed the woman. He had to cook for himself. He had to do something after all.

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

The meat weighed about four pounds. Xu Niannian cut the meat into two pieces and threw one piece onto the chopping board.

"Then you should chop up the meat."

The sound of a man chopping meat was heard, and she walked out of the kitchen, intending to pick some vegetables from the vegetable garden.

This day, flesh can't be stored for long, so she planned to make some big buns to nourish him. She felt that the man's face looked thinner after not seeing him for half a month.

Xu Niannian walked into the vegetable garden and picked some tomatoes, beans, potatoes, eggplants, and rapeseed.

By the way, she took out cabbage and vermicelli from the space. She planned to make a dish with cabbage, pork and vermicelli filling.

Wash these vegetables outside.

The man walked into the kitchen with a basket full of vegetables. He worked quickly and had already chopped all the meat.

"Soak these vermicelli in warm water."

Put the minced meat on the chopping board into a bowl and set aside. Cut one pound of the two pounds of pork belly to make braised pork, and the other pound to make minced meat, eggplant, and braised pork with potatoes.

While she was cooking, Lu Huaijin squatted beside her and made a fire.

Seeing how big the "fire-burning girl" is, her long legs seem a bit awkward:

"Go out, I'll do it myself."

"Need not."

The usual solemnity on the man's face faded away, and the firelight from the stove shone on his face, making his expression slightly softer.

The two of them cooperated in this tacit understanding. After an unknown amount of time, Xu Niannian closed the lid and the two most time-consuming dishes had already started to stew.

The fragrance began to waft out slowly.

She went to the side and took out the filling she had just prepared and the dough that had been proofed.

The dough was divided into several portions, and in Xu Niannian's hands, it was turned into small pieces of even size in a short while.

Lu Huaijin's eyes, which were originally staring at the stove, were attracted by her. He went to join the army very early, and even at home, his mother would not go to the stove to make buns herself.

Today is the first time I have such an experience.

The other person looked at the fingers that looked like scallion segments, flipping continuously. After a few seconds, a round bun was formed.

She repeated this many times, and soon the whole table was covered with buns she had made.

The buns are also a little smaller than the ones I’ve eaten before, and look a bit delicate.

Put all the buns into the steamer. Each one looks the same size and has a nearly perfect shape. They look better than the buns sold outside.

He whispered:

"You don't do housework at home, so how come you can wrap it so well?"

Xu Niannian's hands paused. She used to work in a bun shop, so she could make it look so good.

But the original owner really couldn't do that. She lowered her head and smiled:

"You also know that Xu Xiuhong is my stepmother, so the one who can do the housework and spread it must be her daughter."

"But let's not talk about this anymore. Eat more later. I bought all this flour with your money. Don't be embarrassed."
