Chapter 234 Good News

"I gonna go see!"

"Wait, I'll go with you."

The two walked out of the gate and headed towards the back of the mountain.

However, before the two could even reach the top of the mountain, they saw Yan Bei and Fu Jiaming, each carrying a large stack of firewood on their backs.

Fu Jiaming, with an excited expression, was gesturing wildly as he turned his head and spoke to Yan Bei.

"Ningning? Big brother, what's going on here?"

"Hey? Su Ning, Brother Zhang, what brings you here?"

"Yes, yes, Suning, look what we caught! Two bamboo partridges! Hahaha, I've been craving these for so long!"

I've heard that although bamboo chickens look thin and don't have much meat, when they're chopped into small pieces and stir-fried with soybeans and chili peppers, they're incredibly delicious.

Fu Jiaming swallowed a large mouthful of saliva that involuntarily seeped out. "This bamboo partridge..."

"Go aside!"

"Get out of the way!"

At this time, it's still called bamboo chicken or whatever bamboo chicken.

The two spoke in perfect unison, simultaneously pushing aside the person who was blocking their way.

"Is Ningning looking for me?"

"Yes, Old Tong called. Come with me to the village committee office quickly; he's waiting for you to call back."

"teacher?"

Yan Bei's eyes lit up instantly. Without even looking at the firewood behind him and the two bamboo chickens with their feet tied, he piled them all on his good brother, grabbed Su Ning's hand, and ran down the slope.

"Hoo~"

His legs were bent outwards in a V-shape, and he almost fell flat on his face.

Fu Jiaming pointed with trembling fingers at the retreating figures of the two who didn't even turn back, "Damn, what a pair of scoundrels who forget their friends for women..."

"Ok?"

"Ahem, what an exceptional couple!"

Hearing the slightly warning voice, he suddenly remembered that there was a doting brother next to him, and Fu Jiaming forcibly broke his tongue and changed his words.

"Um... kind bro, could you please help me out?"

"Haha~"

Zhang Qi gave him a cold, insincere laugh and then patted his shoulder hard.

"Of course, no problem!"

He spoke slowly and deliberately, clapping his hand repeatedly with each word that came out of his mouth.

After finishing his sentence, Fu Jiaming naturally changed his squatting figure-eight posture into a backbend.

"what--"

In an instant, a mournful cry echoed throughout the foot of the mountain, startling countless birds in the forest.

……

"Jiaming's voice?"

Hearing the faint cries of pain coming from behind, Su Ning slowed his pace and turned to look behind him.

"Don't worry, his voice is full of energy. Even if he fell, his older brother is still here, isn't he?"

"..."

You're such a great buddy.

However, thinking that although Jiaming was reckless and thoughtless, his older brother was calm and smart, Su Ning looked away and put her worries aside.

Back in his office, Su Qingshan had apparently gone out on some business and hadn't locked the door because he was afraid they'd come over.

"Ningning, sit down and rest for a while. I'll call the teacher back."

"it is good."

Sitting down in the chair, Su Ning, whose throat and chest were sore, weakly waved her hand at him, signaling him to call back quickly.

Yan Bei let go of her hand and tidied up the stray hairs that had fallen around her ears, which were a little messy from running, before picking up the receiver on the table and dialing a familiar number.

It rang only twice before the call was answered and a familiar voice came through, "Hello? This is Tong Ding."

"Teacher, it's me."

"Yanbei, that matter is settled!"

Although he had considered this possibility, upon hearing these words, even the usually calm and collected Yan Bei couldn't help but tremble with excitement as he held the receiver.

He quickly turned his head to look at Su Ning, and when he saw her return his dazzling smile, Yan Bei's eyes inexplicably welled up with tears.

"Okay, I understand, teacher. Thank you, teacher. You've worked hard."

A few minutes later, Yan Bei hung up the phone, took a big step to her, and picked her up from the chair.

"Ningning, I've been transferred back to the research institute to participate in the professor's big experiment."

"That's great! Congratulations, Abei!"

Although they are still under surveillance and not as free, at least they don't have to undergo re-education and reformation.

His hands, naturally suited for holding a pen, finally no longer needed to hold a hoe or shovel.

"I'll submit the application report when I get back!" Now that I'm back at the research institute, I need to submit a report in advance for anything, whether it's dating or getting married.

Perhaps because of the Yan family, the marriage application won't be approved so quickly, but that's fine too, since Ningning isn't ready to get married yet, so he can wait patiently.

"Cough cough~"

"Grandpa!" "Grandpa!"

"Ah."

The two, who were tightly embracing each other, immediately let go and jumped away at the sound of his cough, just like two startled rabbits.

The two equally beautiful faces flushed, making them even more pleasing to the eye.

The more Su Qingshan looked at the two, the more he felt they were a perfect match, but he pretended to be serious on the surface, saying, "In broad daylight, be mindful of your behavior!"

If outsiders saw this, it would be bad for Ningning's reputation.

Although the engagement is already a done deal, there's no way others will know?

"Sir, I'll definitely be more careful next time."

"Yes, watch out, watch out!"

Looking at the two obedient kids, Su Qingshan, who had been keeping a straight face, revealed a loving smile in his cloudy old eyes, but still said in a harsh tone, "You two brats, get out of here after you've finished your phone call!"

"Alright, then we're getting out of here!"

"Pfft~"

That Ning kid!

How could he not know that Ningwazi could be so mischievous and funny?

Su Qingshan remembered the funny face she made before she left, closed the door again, and then chuckled.

……

As they walked out of the village committee office, Yan Bei escorted her to the door of the clinic. He glanced around and said softly, "Ningning, many places on the road are icy and it's cold. How about I bring you lunch?"

He was there just now, and he almost made people trip and fall twice on the way here.

She's going back and forth all by herself; if she really falls and gets hurt, he'll be the one who's heartbroken.

"Okay, then tell your godmother that I'll go back early this afternoon to finish cooking."

Knowing that Yan Bei's identity was just waiting for the official documents to be issued, their relationship would no longer be a problem in the village, and it wouldn't matter if others saw them together, so Su Ning didn't refuse his kindness.

"You don't need to cook dinner, I'll take care of it..."

"Ningning! Ningning!"

Why did the old man chase after us?
Su Ning quickly met his gaze, then turned to greet him, "Hey sir!"

"As people get older, their memories don't go as well. I almost forgot to tell you, don't go back for dinner later. Today we're slaughtering a pig and dividing the meat, so we'll all have a pig-slaughtering feast together."

He went out just now for this matter, and found a nimble young man to go door to door to inform people.

To avoid the bell ringing and everyone having to brave the snow to rush to the threshing ground, which would be a hassle.

"Pig-slaughtering feast!"

Thinking of the stew she had at her grandmother's house in Luohu, Su Ning couldn't help but feel a little hungry.

If you replaced the wild boar with domestic pig, the stew made with slaughtered pig would probably taste even better!
She wasn't craving meat, she just really craved the stew made when the pig was slaughtered in the village.

I don't know why, but I just feel that pork stew has a kind of inexplicable deliciousness.

"Great, I understand, sir."

"Hehehe, you little glutton! Wait for the bell to ring and then head to the threshing ground, okay? If you're late, there won't be any soup left!"

"Then I'll definitely go early. By the way, sir, I heard that you can buy the meat after it's been divided up, is that right?"

"Yes, you can buy the rest after they're distributed."

She nodded. There was still pork at home, but she didn't mind having more of this kind of meat that wasn't readily available. If she bought more, her godmother wouldn't have to be so calculating.

"Your aunt said that we'll buy all the preserved meats for the Lunar New Year this year, and you can't refuse."

As if worried that she might buy too much, Su Qingshan couldn't help but remind her.

"I won't refuse, this is my wife's specialty!"

With a smile, Su Ning gave him a thumbs up; she wasn't lying.

Whether it's the cured pork or smoked sausages made by my grandmother, or the fermented tofu, blood tofu, and pickled radishes she makes, everything tastes especially delicious, and she loves them very much.

"Your grandma will be overjoyed when she finds out. Alright, hurry back inside and stop eating snow and getting chilled by the wind."

"Okay, sir, you should go back to your office now."

"Yes! Done!"

After watching him leave, Su Ning and Yan Bei exchanged a smile.

"That's good, you don't have to bring me food anymore."

"It's not good for me."

Yan Bei felt an itch to touch her as he looked at her smiling face, but since they were outside, he couldn't make a move.

I could only suppress the urge and rub my fingertips together a few times.

"I'll prepare dinner tonight. Today I went up the mountain to get the firewood I forgot there, and Jiaming and I caught two wild bamboo chickens. I remember you said you wanted to eat them."

"Alright, then let's try Chef Yan's cooking. Hurry back and tell Grandpa and Grandma the news, so they can be happy too."
