Following her parents' demotion, she married a soldier and became a relative of the chief of th

Because Mrs. Guan felt sorry for Xu Nuannuan, she wanted to go to Ling City tomorrow to see her and comfort her.

However, her eldest grandson and his wife had just returned from another trip with their children and were going to stay at home for a while, so she couldn't get away for the time being. As soon as she had time, she would go over there.

When they came to the living room, her eldest grandson Guan Rongguangdong asked, "Why does Ruyan want to go to the countryside? She has never done any housework since she was a child, let alone farming."

"Because Yunqi went to the countryside, she wanted to go to the countryside to find Yunqi. We said we would not listen to her. If she wants to go, then go."

"Then can she endure the hardships of the countryside?"

His wife Chen Ying didn't like this cousin very much. When she lived at home with her child, the child was still young and would run and fall in the living room, but she would not help to help, let alone coax the child. She always made them look down on outsiders, while she, Lin Ruyan, was like the master of the house.

Therefore, she disliked Lin Ruyan very much.

Afraid that Guan Rongguang would say something about trying to get Lin Ruyan back to the city, he said, "Just because you can't endure hardship, you should exercise more. When Ruyan comes back, she will definitely be different from before."

She actually hoped that Lin Ruyan would never come back, and it would be best if she could stay with Fu Yunqi in the countryside forever.

Guan Rongguang looked at her and said, "You're right. I mean the same thing. Although Ruyan is a girl, she still needs some necessary training. We can't follow her around forever. She must be able to be independent one day."

Chen Ying was satisfied. Fortunately, Guan Rongguang did not say anything that would make her worry.

Mrs. Guan said, "I want to go see her after you leave, and by the way, visit a friend I know there."

"Grandma, why don't we go tomorrow? We'll be with you and take care of you."

Chen Ying was reluctant to go see Lin Ruyan, and hurriedly said, "Oh, I just got back from the car, I'm quite tired, and the child is tired too, so let's not go. Besides, they just got there to look for Yun Qi, and they don't want us to disturb them, right?"

Chen Ying asked her two children, "Do you want to see your aunt?"

Both children shook their heads, "No."

Chen Ying was satisfied, but she still scolded the child a few words: "Don't say that, she is your only aunt, you are not allowed to say that, understand?"

The children all held their heads high. The eldest child said, "Auntie is not nice to us. Why can't we say it?"

"Oh my, oh my, you still said it even though I told you not to."

Old Madam Guan knew that none of the children in the family liked Lin Ruyan, so she said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's talk about it later."

It would only take a few days for the couple to leave, and she would go over there to take a look then.

Qingpingwan Brigade

Xu Nuannuan was finally going to move into her new house. Mei Xiangcao and Jiang Ting had cleaned it for her in advance. Because they also had to move furniture and food distributed by the team, Jiang Ye took an ox cart from the team leader and moved everything in one trip.

Xu Nuannuan now has her own independent house and yard. She can do whatever she wants when she is alone at home, which is much better than when she was at the educated youth camp.

She had lunch at Jiang's house at noon. Jiang Ye also brought a large water tank from his home for her and filled it with water.

This made Xu Nuannuan feel that it was great to have a boyfriend who could take care of everything for her.

She could drink the spiritual spring water in private, but she still had to pick some water on the surface.

Besides, the well water is more turbid than the spiritual spring water. If you put some well water in front of the public, no one will suspect anything.

After Jiang Ye finished fetching water, he did not leave.

I said to her, "We should go to work tomorrow, let's go to the mountains for a walk."

Xu Nuannuan had only been to the foot of the mountain when she was herding sheep since she came here, and had never even been halfway up the mountain. She wanted to go up the mountain to take a look.

However, she hasn't been alone with her partner for a long time, so it would be nice to go out together.

"There should still be mushrooms on the mountain now. I want to go pick some."

I was just worried that I had nothing to send to those three people, so it would be nice to pick some mushrooms, dry them, and mail them to them.

But I found that there was not even a bamboo basket to put mushrooms in the house.

"Come to our house and get a basket."

Xu Nuannuan was surprised. Could it be that Jiang Ye could hear her thoughts? He knew everything she was thinking.

"Okay, let's go to your house first."

When Xu Nuannuan went out, she naturally took Tuanzi with her. Tuanzi ran very fast on his short legs.

Jiang Ye saw it and said, "Maybe it has the potential to be a military dog."

"Military dog." Xu Nuannuan thought to herself. Her Tuanzi was an all-purpose dog. "You really flatter him. His legs are so short, how can he be a military dog?"

“But it runs fast.”

"is it?"

Hmm, it seems like Jiang Ye has seen military dogs and knows them very well.

Then Jiang Ye said: "Maybe I am exaggerating a bit, I just said it casually, I just like this puppy very much."

"If it wasn't my dog, would you still like it?"

"Whether it's your dog or not, I still like you. I like you. It has nothing to do with it."

Xu Nuannuan, she felt that Jiang Ye seemed to be switching the subject. She was talking to him about the dog, but Jiang Ye was talking about her.

The two of them and the dog went to Jiang's house together and took the basket. Jiang Ting also wanted to go: "Brother, sister-in-law, you want to go up the mountain, I will go with you."

Jiang Ye rolled his eyes at him immediately: "Just stay at home and don't run around."

Jiang Ting immediately looked aggrieved, "Okay, okay, you guys go, I won't go."

Xu Nuannuan felt a little reluctant: "If you want to go, then go, go with sister-in-law."

At worst, she could find time to spend with Jiang Ye again.

Jiang Ting took Xu Nuannuan's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind. You are indeed my sister-in-law, closer than my brother."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the three of them reached the top of the mountain, they ran into Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu who were collecting firewood. Jiang Ting quickly ran to Fu Yunqi and asked, "Brother Fu, are you completely healed?"

These days, she and her brother and mother have been busy building a house for Xu Nuannuan and have no time to visit Fu Yunqi.

"Okay." Fu Yunqi said to him, "I have been able to move freely for a long time, otherwise I would not have come up the mountain to chop firewood."

Jiang Ting chatted with Fu Yunqi and seemed to have forgotten that her brother and sister-in-law were there. Jiang Ye called her, "Tingting, we still need to pick mushrooms."

"You and sister-in-law go, I'll talk to Brother Fu for a while."

Jiang Ye and Xu Nuannuan felt that Jiang Ting would be safe with Fu Yunqi, so they left.

The two walked for a while, no one spoke, but their figures were getting closer and closer.

Xu Nuannuan found that the back of her hands seemed to be rubbing against a big hand, which made her feel tingling and itchy, as if the itch could reach her heart.

Gradually, her little hand was wrapped by the big hand.

"Nuan Nuan."

Jiang Ye turned his head to look at her and found that the little girl's face was slightly flushed, but she did not shake off his hand.

His approach just now was just a test. When he found that she was not deliberately avoiding him, he became bolder and held her hand.

Xu Nuannuan smiled at him and said, "Don't you think you look like a little hooligan?"

"You should be a bit naughty with your partner. Otherwise, you will think I am dispensable."

Xu Nuannuan laughed: "You're dating just to be a hooligan?"

"Of course not. It's to love her, accompany her and take care of her for the rest of her life."

Xu Nuannuan almost suspected that Jiang Ye's mouth was blessed. He was very silent when he didn't speak, but he could speak sweet words in a long way.

She pulled her hand out of his, which scared Jiang Ye so much that his face changed. Then she interlocked her fingers with his, and the man's face looked better again.

Her hands were too small, his hands were too big, and when their hands were clasped together, there was a huge difference.

There were thick calluses on his palms and fingertips. They didn't rub her palms much, but they felt good and scratched her palms, making them itchy.

The two walked in the woods, the sunlight filtering through the leaves cast mottled shadows on them. The weather was neither too cold nor too hot, making people feel very comfortable.

How could Xu Nuannuan not feel comfortable with her partner by her side?

Tuanzi followed them, wishing he could plug his ears and close his eyes.

Don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to, and don’t look at what you shouldn’t look at.

Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye were taking a romantic walk while looking for mushrooms. Perhaps they only had eyes for each other, or perhaps they didn't want to ruin the beautiful atmosphere, so they didn't react at all when mushrooms slipped away right under their noses two or three times.

In the end, it was Xu Nuannuan who reacted first. They had come up the mountain to pick mushrooms, so how could they have forgotten the important matter?

With Tuanzi as her guide in the space, Xu Nuannuan soon found a whole patch of mushrooms behind a big rock and picked them together with Jiang Ye.

She took a look and found that some of the mushrooms were non-toxic and some were poisonous. She wanted to remind Jiang Ye, but she found that Jiang Ye had automatically ignored the poisonous mushrooms and only picked the non-toxic ones.

It seems that she was worrying too much. Jiang Ye really knows a lot.

the other side

Jiang Ting wanted to help Fu Yunqi chop wood, but Fu Yunqi refused: "I can do it myself. How can I let a little girl help me chop wood?"

"Brother Fu, you saved my life. I helped you chop some firewood, but that's nothing. I can't repay you for your kindness in the slightest."

"No, it's better not to. Having a girl help me with the work while I stand by is more uncomfortable than having to do the work myself."

Jiang Ting couldn't help much and could only watch from the side.

She inadvertently thought of Lin Ruyan and asked, "Brother Fu, did you grow up with that educated youth Lin?"

"No, it's just that I have some acquaintance with her grandfather, but I'm not familiar with her."

"Then she must like you, otherwise she wouldn't call herself your fiancée."

"But I have no intention of getting a wife, and it is of no use whatsoever that she claims to be doing anything."

"You, you don't plan to get married? Is it because you don't like Lin Ruyan?" Jiang Ting felt extremely disappointed when she heard this, and her face fell.

"I don't have any feelings for her." But Fu Yunqi lowered his head to chop wood and didn't look at her. "However, I don't plan to marry her not because of her. Even without her, I would still think the same. I think it's good to be alone. I can be free and unfettered, wandering around the world, with the whole world as my home. I can feed the whole family with my own food, and I don't have to worry about those emotional things. What do you think, Tingting?"

Jiang Ting's depressed mood seemed to be awakened by the call of "Tingting". Since Brother Fu didn't plan to get married, why didn't she become Brother Fu's brother?

"Brother Fu, you are right. I also think it is good to be alone."

"You also plan to be alone for the rest of your life and not get married?"

"Yeah, I never planned to get married."

Fu Yunqi shook his head. He didn't plan to get married, not only for the reasons mentioned above. Since ancient times, there have been more bachelors than old girls, and bachelors don't need protection and support from others. But Jiang Ting is a girl, and if she doesn't get married, she will definitely face more difficulties than men.

"You really don't plan to get married?"

"Really." Jiang Ting answered firmly.

"That's because you haven't met the one you like. When you meet someone, you won't have such thoughts."

"Yes, is that so?" She looked at Fu Yunqi. Since he had no plans to get married, she decided not to express her thoughts to avoid burdening him. She turned her head and said, "That also depends on whether I can meet the person I like in the future."

After Fu Yunqi and Chen Dalu finished chopping wood, they sat down to rest for a while. After a while, Xu Nuannuan and Jiang Ye came over with mushroom baskets. They chatted for a while and then went down the mountain together.

Jiang Ye first accompanied Xu Nuannuan back to her own home and hung the mushrooms in the yard. Then they went to Jiang's house together. Xu Nuannuan had some mushrooms left in her basket, so they cooked some at Jiang's house in the evening.

After having dinner at Jiang's house, Jiang Ye sent Xu Nuannuan back. If they could be together forever, he really didn't want to be separated from his partner for even a moment.

Xu Nuannuan returned home, locked the front door, went into the house, and bolted the door.

I took a deep breath and finally breathed in some fresh air that belonged to me alone.

She still had a lot of pork in her space, so she wanted to make some pork jerky, some for herself and her parents, and then mail some to the three people.

I wanted to send some to the Jiang family as well, but the source of the meat was difficult to explain, so I had to give up for now.

You also need to make some soybean paste to use in cooking delicious food.

One by one.

However, in order to save time, she decided to do both at the same time.

After drinking a glass of spiritual spring water, my tired body regained its strength.

I picked a piece of meat with more lean meat, cut the lean meat into thin slices, added seasoning and marinated for a certain period of time. It would take three hours outside, but only eighteen minutes in the space. During this period, I soaked soybeans. After the pork was marinated, I dried it in the space for a while.

At this time, the soybeans have been soaked and put into the pot to boil. After boiling, take them out and mix them with flour to make bean cakes, which are then placed in crushed wheat straw for fermentation.

After making the bean cakes, you can continue to make pork jerky. Just put the marinated meat slices directly on the charcoal fire and roast them.

After finishing making the pork jerky, Xu Nuannuan fed it to Tuanzi first. Tuanzi didn't seem to be very interested in this kind of dried food.

Xu Nuannuan thought of the big bone in the meat she stewed last time, so she threw one to the dog, and Tuanzi picked it up happily.

Perhaps it didn't want Xu Nuannuan to see it chewing the bone, so it took it aside and chewed on it.

Xu Nuannuan looked at the time. It was already past ten o'clock. She still had to conduct the second round of transactions with Tang Jinde tonight. She didn't care whether Tuanzi had finished chewing the bones or not. She had to go.

She found Tuanzi, who was gnawing on a bone with his furry butt sticking out.

She called out to Tuanzi, "Tuanzi, we still have a deal today. Just gnaw on it for five more minutes, and we'll go out. And you can continue gnawing on the bone when you come back."

Tuanzi turned his head to take a look, nodded his dog head, and quickly took five minutes to gnaw on the bone a few more times. He even made a wooooing sound because he gnawed too fast.
