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

Chapter 235 Joy
Yan Bei kept turning back to look at himself as he walked away. Those who knew him would think he was reluctant to leave, while those who didn't would think the two were facing a life-or-death separation.

Thinking of this, Su Ning couldn't help but smile, her eyes crinkling with a sweet feeling she couldn't quite describe, an intensely sweet feeling.

After entering the courtyard, I stomped my feet hard under the eaves to shake off the snowflakes before pushing open the door and walking into the pharmacy.

Jin Hua and her daughter Wu Meng were sitting by the stove, warming their hands and talking.

“Su Su…”

"Ningning is back?"

"It's me, Aunt Wu Mengjie."

"You're freezing! Quickly, warm yourself by the fire!"

As she spoke, Jin Hua pushed the stove in front of her towards the direction of her voice with her foot; just by listening to the howling wind outside, you could tell how cold it was.

After she sat down, Wu Meng took her hands in her own warm palms and warmed them up.

"Later, the village will be slaughtering a pig and distributing the meat, and there will be a big pot of pig-killing feast. Aunt Wu Mengjie, why don't you go and see what's going on?"

"Slaughtering pigs and dividing the meat is good, it's a good thing, but my daughter and I will wait until next year."

They hadn't been registered in the household registration system, so they didn't get work points or meat, and since they weren't working, how could they possibly have the nerve to eat at the pig-slaughtering feast?

This is just causing trouble for her and the captain. If others start talking about it, even a good thing will turn out badly.

Furthermore, given my daughter's current situation...

Jin Hua sighed inwardly. Although she was blind as a mother, she was not. These days, apart from Ning Ning and the Zhang family, Niu'er had a deep-seated resistance and fear towards other people, especially strangers.

"Yes, next time..."

Upon hearing her mother's words, Wu Meng nodded in agreement almost instantly.

Su Ning, who also noticed that Wu Meng's mental state was not very good, did not intend to persuade her further after hearing their refusal.

This kind of thing can only be healed by time and by oneself, slowly forgetting or letting go, and finally finding true healing.

……

Yan Bei, who parted ways with Su Ning at the clinic, smiled slightly, the cold glint in his eyes fading away, making his usually aloof and unapproachable face appear warmer.

Like an immortal who stepped out of a painting, now imbued with the warmth of human life, no longer so unattainable.

"This person is really good-looking!"

"She is good-looking, but what's the use of just being good-looking?"

"That's true, with his status, he's not even as good as those peasants in the village."

That's what she said, but her eyes, like her companion's, kept following the figure until it completely disappeared from sight, and she couldn't bear to look away.

The three female educated youths had just received the good news that the village was going to slaughter a pig and distribute the meat, and they couldn't wait to go and see the excitement.

It was too cold. Apart from the three of them, the rest of the educated youth at the settlement were unwilling to go and watch the pig slaughter. Instead, they waited for the bell to ring and went directly to the threshing ground to line up and get their share of the meat.

The three of them, unconcerned about the cold, linked arms and chatted and laughed, when they happened to stumble upon this 'beautiful woman turning her head and smiling in the snow' scene.

They were all young girls, around twenty years old, and seeing such a handsome man, it was no wonder that their hearts fluttered for a while.

Not to mention that when I first saw him, his scent alone was enough to make people want to stay away, so I never really looked at his face closely.

Such a handsome man, if only his background were legitimate, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Anyway, they have no hope of returning to the city, so if they absolutely have to get married...

"Xu Qian? What are you thinking about?"

"No, it's nothing."

After more than a year of hard work, even with lots of face cream, my face became rough, spotted, and no longer fair.

Therefore, even if I feel a little embarrassed now, my dark yellow skin tone is not so obvious.

Xu Qian withdrew her gaze, no longer daring to dwell on the absurd thoughts that had suddenly surfaced in her mind.

"Let's hurry, or the pigs will all be slaughtered by the time we get there!"

"Oh, right, I almost forgot about the important matter. Come on, let's hurry!"

……

At this moment, Yanbei was unaware that a stumbling block had appeared on his and Su Ning's road to love, and he was rushing home excitedly.

It is said that children do not experience the full twelve months; as long as they have something to play with, they can withstand the scorching sun of summer and the wind and snow of winter.

All along the way, we heard children playing in the snow, having snowball fights, and laughing and joking.

The infectious laughter of children is so charming and joyful that it makes you want to smile too.

Yan Bei was no exception, especially when his divergent thinking led him to imagine that his future child with Ning Ning would also be like this…

The soft light in those eyes could drown a person.

"Yan, Xiao, Qi!"

With a sudden shout, I heard a whooshing sound of something cutting through the air behind me.

Yan Bei immediately composed himself and turned his head to the side with lightning speed.

"Bah-"

A huge snowball crashed down, shattering into pieces on the ground. The failed sneak attack made Fu Jiaming's already frustrated face even uglier. Heh, he refused to believe it!
He bent down and quickly threw the snowballs that had been prepared and neatly arranged one after another at him.

They seemed determined to smash it to pieces.

Having just received the good news and in a good mood, Yan Bei raised an eyebrow. Seeing him like this, Yan Bei was unusually interested in giving someone a good talking-to.

He darted forward, dodging snowballs aimed at his face, while simultaneously closing in on Fu Jiaming.

"Don't come here!"

"Heh~"

He also said that Luo Shuangshuang was both bad at the game and loved to play, but according to his own words, he was the one who was both cowardly and shameless.

The two seemed to have returned to their childhood years ago, chasing each other in the swirling snow until their heads were buried in the thick snow.

That year, Shanghai experienced a rare heavy snowfall, and all the mischievous children in the compound were thrilled, including them.

"Hahahaha!"

"Exciting!"

Brushing the snow off his head, Fu Jiaming shivered violently from the icy chill that crept up the back of his neck. He pointed at the person who had also fallen to the ground and laughed and cursed.

"Yan Xiaoqi, you're still as cunning as ever!"

"Not nearly as good as you."

I don't know which bastard stuffed a huge handful of snow into his pants.

Yan Bei gave him a disgruntled look, then stood up and continued striding home.

"Hey, wait for me! Why are you walking so fast? You haven't told me what Old Master Tong was talking about yet!"

"It's not a good thing you did!"

If we don't hurry, it won't just be our underwear that gets wet; if someone sees it, they might think...

"Haha, it's so cold outside, it'd be freezing to take it out. Everyone understands if you wet your pants a little~"

"Shut up, you."

"Hahahaha!"

Fortunately, this grove of trees wasn't far from the foot of the mountain. To be honest, Fu Jiaming chose a pretty good spot to ambush them. If this simpleton hadn't shouted before launching his sneak attack, he might have actually succeeded.

Having already heard the two of them playfully fighting, Zhao Panpan didn't stop them since her grandson was in such a good mood.

Men die young, so she wouldn't be surprised if it were an old man or his old friends who died like that.

However, I was worried that rolling around in the snow would make them catch a cold, so I prepared a big bowl of ginger soup for each of the two mischievous boys.

Seeing the two of them go inside, change their clothes, and come out, he handed each of them a large bowl.

"Hurry up and drink it while it's hot, you two rascals!"

"Thank you, Grandma." "Thank you, Grandma Yan!"

After gulping down the large bowl of ginger soup, my throat felt burning, but my stomach felt warm all over.

"Cool!"

With a sigh, Fu Jiaming looked at the old woman who was gazing at them with kind eyes: "Grandma Yan's ginger soup is absolutely amazing."

Ah, it's still the same old operation, the same old feel!

He glanced furtively at the whole piece of ginger at the bottom of the bowl and couldn't help but grin even more broadly.

"Grandma, where is grandpa?"

"Him? He insists on going to the bamboo forest with Lao Liu to catch some small creatures."

It's just that she's unwilling to admit she's getting old; seeing the bamboo partridges that Jiaming caught, she couldn't resist the urge to try them herself.

He's an old man and he still won't stop. He'll only behave when he breaks his leg!
Speaking of this, Zhao Panpan became a little annoyed. "Old age is like child's behavior" is not just a saying; it's not true that the older you get, the more childlike you become.

"What's wrong, Xiao Qi? Do you need to see your grandfather?"

"Well, I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news? Could it be...?"

Her eyes lit up, and Zhao Panpan excitedly grabbed his hand. "Could it be that Ning girl has agreed to skip the engagement and get married directly?!"

"Pfft~cough cough cough~"

Yan Bei wiped away the spilled ginger soup and looked at her with a wry smile.

He would like to, but Ningning probably wouldn't agree so quickly. Just the fact that she agreed to the engagement would be a pleasant surprise for him.

"It was my teacher who called. The official document will be released after the New Year, and then I will be able to return to the research institute."

Although it differed from expectations, it was undoubtedly still fantastic news.

Zhao Panpan's eyes welled up with tears of excitement; her little Qi would finally no longer have to do these dirty and tiring jobs.

"Great, great, wonderful!"
