After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

When the others heard what Zhao Lingling said, they all looked at Jiang Yan with smiles on their faces.

Jiang Yan didn't deny it. He curled his lips and asked, "Where is she?"

Seeing that he didn't deny it, Zhao Lingling's smile deepened. "She left home earlier than us this morning and came up first. But she knows we're chopping wood here, so she'll join us soon!"

Jiang Yan thought, then let's wait here, before he goes looking for someone and gets lost again!

So he talked to everyone while waiting for Shen Xiaoxia to come over.

After waiting for a while and still not seeing Shen Xiaoxia arrive, Jiang Yan became a little worried. He wondered what was going on with Shen Xiaoxia!

He couldn't calm down while waiting, so he just said something to everyone and decided to go look for Shen Xiaoxia.

At this moment, Shen Xiaoxia heard what Jiang Yan asked and smiled, "I got up early, and since I was free anyway, I came up to take a look!"

Jiang Yan wanted to reach out and take the backpack from Shen Xiaoxia's back, but Shen Xiaoxia waved her hand, "No, it's not heavy!"

Jiang Yan insisted, "Let me take it!"

After taking a look at Jiang Yan and seeing that his hand was stretched out, Shen Xiaoxia took down the backpack and handed it to him!

Jiang Yan reached out and took the basket in his hand, then asked her, "Do you want to join us? Or do you want to pick it up by yourself?"

Shen Xiaoxia asked him, "Have you met everyone?"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Yes, I have. I saw them first. They said you would meet up with them, so I talked to them over there for a while. But after waiting for a long time, I didn't see you come over, so I came here to look for you!"

Shen Xiaoxia nodded, "Then shall we go over there too?"

Jiang Yan wanted to be alone with Shen Xiaoxia, but after hearing what Shen Xiaoxia said, he did not refute, "Then let's go!"

The two of them headed towards the main force.

Everyone raised their eyebrows when they saw the two people coming over. They actually came over?

Just now, a few people were still speculating that the two would be alone together today!

When the two of them got closer, Zhao Lingling couldn't help but nudged Shen Xiaoxia's arm, pulled her closer, and whispered teasingly, "I thought I wouldn't see you today?"

Shen Xiaoxia elbowed Zhao Lingling in return, glared at her, and told her to stop talking nonsense!

I glanced in the direction of Jiang Yan and saw him talking to He Tingyuan and others.

Pulling Zhao Lingling aside, he warned her, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Zhao Lingling was not convinced. "Why did I say that? How dare you say that Jiang Yan didn't treat you..."

“Mmm…Mmm…!!”

Seeing that Zhao Lingling's voice was gradually getting louder, Shen Xiaoxia quickly covered her mouth.

While Shen Xiaoxia was staring at her, Zhao Lingling blinked, patted Shen Xiaoxia's hand that was covering her mouth, and signaled Shen Xiaoxia to let go, and she would not say anything!

After Shen Xiaoxia let go, Zhao Lingling made a "tsk" sound. With Jiang Yan's performance, who didn't notice it?

After chatting and laughing for a while, they got back to the business of chopping wood!

He Tingyuan, Xie Yunheng and Zhao Fan were chopping down a tree together, while Jiang Yan and Hu Shixuan were chopping down a tree together.

Shen Xiaoxia and Zhao Lingling helped on the side!

Hu Shixuan glanced at Shen Xiaoxia, who was standing not far away collecting firewood, then looked at Jiang Yan with a hint of curiosity and mischief, and asked, "What's going on with you two? Any progress?"

Jiang Yan frowned, not knowing how to express it for a moment. If there was any progress, when he thought about it carefully, nothing significant or substantial had happened between the two of them!

But it’s not entirely true to say that there has been no progress!

He could clearly feel that Shen Xiaoxia's attitude towards him was different from before. Now, Shen Xiaoxia was not as polite yet distant as she was at the beginning. She seemed more comfortable and casual in front of him!

He could also feel Shen Xiaoxia's affection for him!

He is now at a stage where he is a little hesitant to break the window paper. He is worried that Shen Xiaoxia has not made up her mind yet, and he is afraid that if he rashly expresses his feelings, he will be alienated!

Jiang Yan looked at Hu Shixuan hesitantly, but still said nothing!

Hu Shixuan looked at Jiang Yan and felt a little amused for a moment. He and Jiang Yan had known each other for such a long time, but he had never seen Jiang Yan so worried!

He patted Jiang Yan on the shoulder and encouraged him, "Brother, come on!"

Jiang Yan weighed the hatchet in his hand. This hatchet belonged to Shen Xiaoxia. After he finished his work, he came directly to the mountain and did not go home to get it.

I guess this knife hasn't been sharpened since I started using it, so it feels a bit dull. I thought of taking it home today to have someone help sharpen it!

The group of people were having fun and chatting until noon, and they returned to the Youth League Home, either carrying firewood on their backs or carrying firewood on their shoulders.

When we arrived at the yard, Han Zhuxin had already returned and was sitting at the door waiting for us.

Seeing everyone come in, he immediately smiled and said, "You guys are back? I've been waiting for you for a while!"

When she saw Jiang Yan, Han Zhuxin's eyes lit up, and her first reaction was to look at Shen Xiaoxia. When she met Shen Xiaoxia's eyes, she winked at her mischievously, and then smiled knowingly!

She shouldn't have missed any good show this morning, right?

He Tingyuan put down the firewood he was carrying, walked over to Han Zhuxin, and asked, "Are you done?"

After knowing each other for such a long time, he knew a little about what Han Zhuxin was doing. Although he was a little worried, he did not interfere too much. Han Zhuxin had her own plans, and he just had to respect them!

Han Zhuxin nodded, went into the house and took out the things He Tingyuan asked her to bring: two pounds of pork belly and three pounds of apples. "Here~, for you!"

He Tingyuan took it and waved it towards Jiang Yan, "Jiang Yan, why don't you eat at the Youth League House at noon? It's my treat!"

He Tingyuan invited Jiang Yan to have lunch with them at the Youth League Home at noon. Jiang Yan did not refuse. He smiled and thanked him, then agreed!

Several pots were cooked at the same time for lunch, and everyone cooked one or two dishes, which were then served together.

The sun was shining brightly outside, so we had the feast right in the yard.

He Tingyuan shared the meat he bought with everyone. He used one pound to make braised pork and one pound to make side dishes for everyone to stir-fry together with the vegetables!

Add some meat to the dish to make it taste better!

Shen Xiaoxia stir-fried an eggplant with meat and two peppers, made a soup with the mushrooms she had picked, and steamed an egg custard.

The eggs were given by Hu Shixuan and steamed at Shen Xiaoxia's place. Although he also built a yard and set up a stove, he rarely cooked himself. Basically, he ate with everyone in the front yard as before.

The braised pork was made by Han Zhuxin. He Tingyuan was afraid that it would be wasted if he came. It would be fine if it was just him and Xie Yunheng, but if everyone ate together, he would not make a fool of himself!

Zhao Lingling had some bacon, so she took it out and made some bacon stewed with potatoes!

Shen Xiaoxia had two dishes and a soup, Han Zhuxin had three dishes, Zhao Lingling made two of them, and she also cooked the rice.

Seven dishes and one soup for eight people is enough!
