Bringing space to the countryside, others eat bran while I eat meat

After eating dumplings, it was already dark.

Shen Ning escorted Gu Changgeng out of the courtyard, and the jeep was parked not far away.

It was so quiet around us that we could hear each other's breathing.

"Shen Ning......."

"Captain Gu......."

They both spoke at the same time and paused at the same time.

Gu Changgeng looked at the young educated youth who was just reaching his shoulder. The moonlight sprinkled on her fair and delicate face, adding a bit of hazy beauty.

He suddenly felt a strong reluctance in his heart, but thinking of the upcoming task, he could only restrain his thoughts.

He stopped, looked deep in his eyes, and smiled at Shen Ning, "I have to go on a mission. I'll give you the meal money I owe you when I come back."

Shen Ning looked embarrassed and wondered, is it possible that in Captain Gu's mind, he is a money-grubber?

After all, Gu Changgeng had helped me a lot before. It was just a meal of dumplings. How could I really accept his money?

But then I heard Gu Changgeng's voice with a hint of bitterness, "If I can't come back..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" The little girl's eyes seemed to be quenched with fire under the moonlight, full of vitality and deep concern. "Humph, then don't refuse to pay! Not everyone can eat my dumplings! I'm waiting for you to come back and pay the bill!"

Gu Changgeng pursed his thin lips, a storm brewing in his eyes, but eventually he calmed down.

He suddenly reached out and pressed down hard on Shen Ning's head, rubbing it hard, as if making a promise, "Okay! Wait until I come back!

Okay, just send it here. It’s cold, go back quickly.”

Shen Ning hesitated, and for some reason, he felt a little worried.

Gu Changgeng strode towards the jeep, opened the door, turned around and looked at Shen Ning, "Go back quickly, and take care of yourself."

Shen Ning suppressed the strangeness in his heart and said, "Well, Captain Gu and Comrade Li, please take care of yourselves and be careful..."

Shen Ning pulled her coat closer, turned around and walked back. The road in front of her was suddenly illuminated. She couldn't help but look back and saw Captain Gu standing in front of the car lights, waving at her.

Li Daniu's powerful voice rang out, "Comrade Xiao Shen, we'll come back to see you after we finish our mission!"

The car lights were blinding, so she couldn't see Gu Changgeng's face clearly. She smiled and nodded, responding loudly, "Okay, then you guys be careful and make sure you come back safely."

After saying this, she stepped on the snow and the light and gradually disappeared at the end of the path.

Gu Changgeng returned to the car only after he could no longer see Shen Ning. "Let's go."

Li Daniu started the car and saw Gu Changgeng taking out an exquisite box from his arms. He couldn't help but look inside curiously, "What's in it?"

Gu Changgeng lowered his eyes and opened the box. A beautiful and exquisite ladies' watch was flashing with fine light.

Li Daniu's eyes were as big as copper bells, "Oh my goodness, this watch is not cheap, my god, what is that shiny thing on it, it's really pretty.

Is it for Comrade Xiao Shen? Oh, why didn't you give it to her just now, Battalion Commander? Do you want to turn back now?"

Gu Changgeng's eyes were silent, and he closed the box again with a "click".

"No, let's go."

……

When Shen Ning returned to the yard, Coal Ball wagged its tail happily.

San Ya also came forward, looking at him eagerly, with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated, which made Shen Ning's heart soften.

Shen Ning reached out and touched the top of her head, and suddenly remembered that Gu Changgeng had just done the same thing to him.

She was stunned for a moment, but quickly shook off the strange feeling in her heart and smiled gently at San Ya, "What's wrong? Ya Ya."

Gu Sanya's light brown eyes were misty at the moment, and it was hard to tell her emotions. She pinched the corner of her clothes and asked, "Don't you want me anymore?"

Shen Ning didn't expect Gu Sanya to be so sensitive and noticed it so quickly. No wonder she was in a bad mood all day.

Shen Ning pursed her lips, feeling a little reluctant, "It's not that I don't want you anymore, I just want to find a better family for you. If you follow me, I'll always..."

"I know. He asked you to send me away, right? I'm a burden and a jinx. Are you afraid of me, sister?"

Shen Ning was stunned. Seeing San Ya's red eyes, he hugged her in his arms and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You are my sister, not a jinx. How could I be afraid of you?

But that couple are very good people, they will raise you like their own daughter, don't you want to have a pair of loving parents and a stable home?"

Gu Sanya buried her face in Shen Ning's arms and sniffed hard, "But I just want to be with you."

Shen Ning knew that San Ya had a strong attachment to her, but San Ya’s childhood had been hard enough, and Shen Ning also hoped that she could grow up in a healthy family atmosphere in the future.

There is still a lot to do. Wang Mazi, Wang Aihua and even the people hiding behind Wang Aihua are all potential dangers.

She also didn't want to drag San Ya into such a dangerous situation.

If possible, she hopes San Ya can forget the pain of the past and grow up healthy, happy and carefree with the love of her parents like He Xiaojun.

Thinking of this, she didn't dare to look at San Ya's hopeful eyes, and could only harden her heart, "Yaya, sister will visit you often.

Don’t be afraid, I won’t ignore you. If you want me, you can write to me…”

Gu Sanya's eyes were heavy, and after a while she let out a bitter smile, "Okay, then sister, please come to see me often, I will miss you.

Can I sleep with you during this time?"

……

As night fell, Shen Ning's breathing gradually became steady.

Gu Sanya sat up, tucked the quilt for Shen Ning, and stared at Shen Ning's face in a daze.

Meiqiu stood up alertly, jumped onto the kang, and nestled next to Sanya.

The kang in the room was heated, and the quilt was warm and soft. Under the pillow was the comic book that Shen Ning bought for herself. There were so many cakes in the small cabinet at the head of the bed that she couldn't finish them all. They were all snacks that Shen Ning usually gave her...

During this time, I had enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear. It was as wonderful as a dream. There was no endless farm work to do, endless clothes to wash, no whipping, no insults, no ridicule, no pain or fear...

But now this beautiful dream has to be interrupted...

Gu Sanya buried her face in the quilt and curled up on the kang. Meiqiu noticed that she was in a bad mood, so she whispered and nudged her with her nose...

Gu Sanya touched Meiqiu's dog head and said, "Shh, don't wake up your sister."

Coal Ball whimpered, his dark dog eyes full of confusion.

Gu Sanya suddenly chuckled, and her voice gradually grew colder in the darkness, "Meiqiu, I really envy you for being able to be with your sister all the time.

I wish I were a dog too.

If only he hadn't shown up, why was he so annoying as to have to separate my sister and me?

Coal Ball, I don’t want to leave…”
