Era: After foreseeing the future, I changed my fate using spatial abilities.

Chapter 194 Missing
Xiangnan, Hongqi Commune, Team 1.

Before anyone knew it, the Fu family's house had been built, and Fu Rong's health was improving day by day after treatment. He could now walk a few steps and was expected to fully recover in a while.

The day Su Ning left, Luo Shuangshuang buried herself in a nursing school and began systematic learning. Her fellow sufferers, Fu Jiaming and Yan Bei, both became lovesick and longed for their wives.

With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, Fu Jiaming sighed and turned to look at his friend beside him, who was gazing at the sky in silence. "Yan Qi, say something!"

He just kept babbling on and on, as if the person sitting next to him wasn't even alive.

"Judging by the time, Su Ning should be back soon, it's been almost twenty days."

Excluding the time spent traveling by train, Fu Jiaming even counted it carefully on his fingers.

When he brought this up, she finally lifted her eyelids slightly, and unsurprisingly, her mind was once again filled with that beautiful figure.

After so many days, Yanbei finally understood what it meant for each day to feel like a year, and why it was said that unrequited love was unsolvable.

Whenever I look at the big lock on the old house gate, my heart feels like it's being soaked in sour and bitter water. The dense, endless longing makes it impossible to hide or avoid.

He chuckled to himself, realizing that he had the potential to be a resentful husband.

"Seriously, don't think about taking things slow and building up feelings over time. As a grown man, why are you waiting for Su Ning to make the first move instead of taking the initiative?"

Nutted his arm with his elbow and continued to persuade him earnestly, "What do you mean by 'haste makes waste'? If you don't eat tofu while it's hot, why wait for it to cool down and become fishy?"

"Don't tell me you don't know. There are plenty of teams secretly eyeing Suning. They're just waiting to be robbed and beaten to the punch before they can even realize their mistake!"

"Don't look at me like that. I'm telling you that you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Let's not expect tomorrow, let's just look at today, okay?"

Both of his family members said they had tried to test the waters, both openly and secretly. Su Ning wasn't completely indifferent to Yan Qi, but now that they're here, why do they have to force her to accept it?

Seeing that the expression in his eyes had softened considerably, Fu Jiaming pressed on with even more suggestions.

"Look, if you're worried that your current situation will implicate Su Ning, if all else fails, you can just quietly and secretly keep in touch like this."

Besides, you've been actively cooperating with the reform and writing self-criticisms, and your teacher has been helping you. The thing you're thinking of will most likely succeed, and then everything will be fine, right? Don't you think so?"

With a slight hesitation, Yan Bei nodded and raised his head, narrowing his eyes.

Today is a rare sunny day. The sunlight and the shadows cast by the swaying leaves create a lazy and pleasant feeling.

The green of the distant mountains seems to have not diminished much, but the nearby fields are full of withered yellow leaves.

During the off-season, after the frost that night, people in the village would gather at the village's threshing ground when the sun was strong at noon.

The women, while busy gossiping, didn't forget to pull out insoles or knit sweaters, while the old men gathered together to play mahjong with tobacco leaves as stakes.

The men in the house rarely had a moment to rest; they were either busy repairing things or chopping wood on the mountain or fetching water from the river.

The educated youth in the designated settlements were still suffering terribly, working hard to dig irrigation ditches in the fields.

The two people, who were halfway up the mountain, had a clear view of most of the village below, where people were sleeping.

"Stop looking! You should take what I'm saying to heart!"

"Long-winded."

"Hey, who am I doing all this for?"

"Let's go, dragging these back will be enough firewood."

Standing up, Yan Bei brushed the grass clippings off his clothes and then picked up the bundle of firewood that had already been tied up and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

Spitting out the foxtail grass in his mouth, Fu Jiaming followed closely behind, carrying the remaining pile up, muttering to himself all the way down the mountain.

He only stopped talking when he noticed the person in front of him suddenly quicken their pace and realized something was wrong.

"I knock, and speak of the devil!"

"Suning! You're finally back!"

After returning home and putting away her things, Su Ning felt two gusts of wind rushing towards her from the front and back as soon as she stepped out of the gate of the yard.

Upon recognizing the visitors, she couldn't help but smile brightly and greet them with a playful tone, "Long time no see, you two."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

I miss you so much!

"Hehe~" "Hahahaha."

Not only does it rhyme, but it also perfectly captures someone's thoughts.

Fu Jiaming, beaming with pride, raised his head and flicked the stray hairs from his forehead. "Yan Qi, you stay with Su Ning. I'll take the firewood back first."

"Ah."

"I have something for you, Yanbei. Come inside with me first." He unceremoniously placed the pile of firewood on his other shoulder, not even sparing him a glance.

Yan Bei just stared at Su Ning, and obediently followed her into the courtyard.

Fu Jiaming, who was almost crushed to the ground, couldn't help but grit his teeth: Damn it, I made a bad choice in friends. They are the same type who value women over friends!
……

"When did you come back?"

"I just got back less than an hour ago."

"How did things go? Did it go smoothly? Could you tell me what it was about, and is there anything else I can help you with?"

Su Ning poured herself and him a cup of freshly boiled water, then smiled and shook her head, indicating that the matter was settled.

After we sat down in the main room and exchanged a few words, I took an envelope out of my bag and handed it to him casually.

“I went to Jilin Province and visited Brother Yan and his family on the way. This is a letter he asked me to bring back and give to you.”

"Didn't you say you were going back to Beijing? Why did you go to Jilin Province instead?"

No wonder it took them so long to get back.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bei gripped the letter in his hand tightly. Instead of opening the envelope, he looked her up and down, and only felt relieved after finding nothing amiss.

Time was short, so Yan Dong only briefly explained the general situation on his side, and then focused on the arrangements for the subsequent exoneration.

After reading the last line, Yan Bei's face didn't show much expression. He just folded the letter back up and put it back in the envelope, intending to burn it after his grandfather read it when he got back.

"Ningning, thank you. I heard from my brother that you sent them a lot of things and money in my name."

I estimated that I had used up most of what I gave her last time, and this time I'm afraid she'll have to make up for most of it.

It seems that... he still needs to secretly step up his efforts and add fuel to the fire to get things done as soon as possible regarding what the teacher mentioned.

"It was something I did on the way."

Waving her hand as if afraid he would overthink it, Su Ning quickly stood up, "I almost forgot, wait a minute."

Without waiting for a reply, he turned around and quickly went back into the house.

After the new house was built, the Fu family moved in without any hesitation.

However, since the two families live close by, Ma Xiuzhen would take time out of her busy schedule to come over and help with cleaning, so that her house wouldn't be covered in dust when she came home. She even washed and dried the blankets and sheets they had used.

So much so that when Su Ning got home, she was ready to rest for a while and start tidying up, but she couldn't find a place to start.

She dragged a large sack of things out of the house. It was so heavy that the tips of her fingers turned white as she dragged it.

"Ningning, let go and let me do it."

Yan Bei, who had been keeping an eye on the doorway, quickly got up and stepped forward, asking, "Why didn't you ask me to help carry such heavy things?"

"I'm just seeing if I can pull it out myself."

Well, it was a little bit of a stretch.

Looking a little embarrassed, Su Ning cleared her throat and didn't argue with him further, handing the task over to him.

“These are nuts I bought at the market near the reclamation farm. Take them back for Grandpa Yan and the others. It’s good for their health if they eat a few every day.”

"So many? And what about yourself?"

"Don't worry, I still have plenty. I bought a lot, enough for me to eat for a long time. Oh, and remember to share some with Uncle Fu and Old Liu."

"it is good."

I imagine everyone would be very happy to receive these things, as it's truly heartwarming to feel someone thinking of you all the time.

Looking at her smiling face, Yan Bei felt as if a feather had gently brushed against his heart, making him feel soft and itchy.

"Suning".

"Ok?"

Caught off guard by being called by his full name again, Su Ning looked up in surprise.

When she saw his unusually serious face and the dark undercurrent surging in his eyes, that deep color seemed to have an overwhelming force.

Bang bang bang~ Bang bang!

Two heartbeats gradually became clearer in the quiet space, beating faster and faster uncontrollably.

They influence each other and overlap in a bizarre way, making it impossible to tell whose it is.
