Shi Yanning woke up slowly, with a hint of sleepiness still in her hazy eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, she saw Huo Chenzhou standing by the bed with a smile on his face and several food boxes in his hands. It turned out that he had brought the food back.

When she sat up, took the food boxes and opened them, her eyes widened.

This meal is completely different from what I had in the northwest. In the past, it was good to have one dish, but now I can have three dishes! And among them is the mouth-watering pork elbow!

The huge pork elbow was bright red in color and exuded an enticing aroma, as if waving to Shi Yanning, making her swallow her saliva involuntarily.

"Eat slowly, don't be in a hurry. Come, have some of the fruit wine that our comrades just brought. This wine is not strong in alcohol and was carefully brewed by the sisters-in-law last winter."

Huo Chenzhou said gently, his eyes full of concern. Seeing his wife eating so sweetly, he was also very happy in his heart, as if he had done something extremely remarkable.

The slightly upward curve of the corners of his mouth revealed the joy in his heart, as if at this moment, the whole world became beautiful.

Worried that she might choke, he quickly handed a drink to Shi Yanning.

When Shi Yanning heard that it was brewed fruit wine, his eyes brightened and he reached out to take it.

Huo Chenzhou chuckled and moved the cup closer to Shi Yanning's mouth. Shi Yanning took a sip and smacked his lips. It was really delicious.

"Are these the grapes grown in that village? They are sour and sweet, really delicious."

Shi Yanning felt that the taste was somewhat familiar as she drank it, just like when she came to the Northwest before, there were not many snacks, so they used this to entertain themselves.

"Yes, that's it."

Huo Chenzhou was a little surprised that his wife recognized him just by hearing him speak.

Shi Yanning took the wine glass and drank a pound of it, then signaled Huo Chenzhou for another glass.

The couple finally met each other, and they stayed together for a while before they gradually became familiar with each other.

When Shi Yanning woke up the next day, the bed sheets had been changed and there were some biscuits on the table with a note on it.

"After my wife wakes up, she will have breakfast first, and Lu from the tea room will come in."

The man's handwriting was sharp, just like his other selves.

"I really don't want to go back. I'd rather stay here and have everything I want. Life is so good."

After Shi Yanning finished his meal, he rested for a while before he stood up with his aching body.

Outside, the sun was hanging high in the sky, and its scorching light was so bright that it seemed to scorch the entire earth.

Everyone took off their heavy coats and wore only thin short-sleeved shirts, revealing their bronze skin. At this moment, they were fully immersed in the tense and fierce training.

The loud calls roared like war drums, each one more passionate than the last, as if they were about to break through the sky and shake the heaven and earth.

The voice contained endless strength and fighting spirit, which made people's blood boil and a strong sense of pride surge in their hearts. The masculine energy in the whole place was like a surging wave, blowing towards us.

Every soldier demonstrated the spirit of perseverance and courage. They stood tall and walked with firm steps, as if they were a group of invincible steel warriors.

It just so happened that the few female workers that the factory had recruited with great difficulty still had no partners.

Looking at their shy appearance and thinking about the unreliable elders in their families, Huo Chenzhou sighed secretly in his heart.

These girls can't be delayed like this. We have to help them pick out a few suitable ones and arrange a blind date for them so that they can find their own happiness.

Just when Huo Chenzhou was worrying about these things, he finally came back. When he saw his wife, he found that she was standing at the entrance of the camp, looking intently at the young boys coming and going.

She looked like she was selecting her future husband, with a hint of expectation in her eyes. Huo Chenzhou couldn't help but feel a little amused. Was this little girl itching for trouble to dare to do such a thing in front of him?

At this moment, Shi Yanning was concentrating on looking at the muscular bodies of these soldiers when he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

She seemed to feel an invisible gaze falling on her back, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

She slowly turned her head and found Huo Chenzhou standing not far away, looking at her with a half-smile, his eyes flashing with a cunning light, as if saying:

"Have you seen enough?"

Shi Yanning's face instantly turned red. She lowered her head in embarrassment, but muttered to herself in her heart:

This guy, why did he come back at any other time, at this time...

"Honey! Why are you here? You suddenly appeared behind me, it's scary."

Looking at his wife's smiling face, Huo Chenzhou lost his temper, "Wife, let's go back to the dormitory."

"Go back to the dormitory?"

Shi Yanning felt a little puzzled. Didn’t they agree to go shopping today and then cook a good meal to thank everyone before leaving?

Huo Chenzhou urged Shi Yanning to go back to the dormitory. He didn't say what was going on, but his face looked like he had something important to tell him. Shi Yanning didn't ask, but quickly jogged to catch up with Huo Chenzhou.

Listening to the footsteps behind him, like a little tail, Huo Chenzhou felt hot under his body.

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Huo Chenzhou walked in front and put down the lunch box in his hand. Shi Yanning walked into the room and spoke impatiently.

Unexpectedly, Huo Chenzhou didn't reply to her, but just strode up behind her. What happened?

The door was slammed shut, and the next moment, the world spun around, and she was sitting on Huo Chenzhou?!

Although the two have met many times and have two children, they have spent less than a year together in the past few years of marriage.

"What are you doing?!"

Shi Yanning was thin-skinned and saw Huo Chenzhou's aggressive eyes and his hands moving towards her waist.

Huo Chenzhou's eyes were like a wolf holding a chick, and Shi Yanning's alarm bells went off.

"It's daytime now! You should take a nap now!"

Shi Yanning patted Huo Chenzhou's hands that were restrained on his waist.

"It's okay. We can go later in the afternoon. Wife, let's take a nap first."

"Hmm~"

......

Shi Yanning twisted her neck with a sore waist and was served by Huo Chenzhou. Three hours later, the couple finally got in the car and headed towards the town.

Huo Chenzhou had a gloomy face, and Shi Yanning fell asleep after a while while leaning back in the chair.

The couple went directly to the newly opened supermarket in the town and bought a lot of chickens, ducks and fish at the vegetable market, all whole. Because they bought a lot, the supermarket staff asked if they wanted them delivered.

Shi Yanning shook his head and refused. Seeing the staff's admiring eyes, Huo Chenzhou immediately inserted himself between the two of them.

The staff member took one look at the distance between the two and immediately realized that they were a couple.

"You two are a perfect match,"

Huo Chenzhou was satisfied.

Shi Yanning smiled secretly.

After the two of them left the supermarket, they went to the pub. After all, everyone could drink a lot.

Because the trains were already full of vegetables and fruits, after the railway was opened, fruit farmers and vegetable vendors in the northwestern provinces and cities could bring their own agricultural products to the markets in major towns.

On the colorful streets, pedestrians come and go, each carrying their own bags on their backs.

Occasionally, you can see a few college students who are dressed differently and are full of energy coming to travel.

The Northwest has really changed a lot.

Shi Yanning saw a lot of things on the street that she had never seen before. Huo Chenzhou accompanied her and ate from the beginning to the end of the street. Shi Yanning only ate half of some things and looked at the ones she had not eaten. The man would then take the ones she had not finished and put them into his mouth.

"Here, eat this."

When Shi Yanning returned to the camp, his belly was already round.

He collapsed on the bed, motionless, because he had eaten too much.

Huo Chenzhou looked at the scene with satisfaction in his heart. He started to boil water and skillfully cleaned the feathers of the chickens and ducks in the kitchen.

He packed the chicken blood and duck blood separately into two boxes and sprinkled them with iodized salt. According to Shi Yanning's idea, they should be in the shape of tofu by tomorrow.

I kept two live chickens and planned to kill them tomorrow.

The couple leaned against each other and soon fell into a sound and peaceful sleep.

"When did you get up?"

When Shi Yanning woke up, Huo Chenzhou had already prepared most of the dishes.

Huo Chenzhou heard his wife waking up and brought her the porridge and mixed vegetables he had cooked.

"Wow! Porridge!"

Shi Yanning went abroad for a week. When he arrived in the Northwest, everyone drank milk for breakfast and he had been wanting to drink porridge.

After having a delicious meal and cleaning up, Huo Chenzhou opened the gate of the courtyard. A couple was standing outside and talking.

"Are you up? We don't have anything to do today, so your sister-in-law urged me to come over to help you."

The person who spoke was Political Commissar Qian, who now holds a division-level position.

Standing next to her was her daughter-in-law Zhao Guilan.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

I had seen Shi Yanning when he first came to live in the Northwest, and I still remember him.

"Ningning, do you still remember? Haha! ~ Sister-in-law is used to doing these things at home, it's not hard, what are you busy with now?"

Huo Chenzhou was not polite and directly brought out a large basin from the kitchen, which contained some potatoes and onions.
