He used to be not picky about food and would eat whatever was available.

Even if the food at the garrison was cooked like pig slop, he wouldn't find it unpalatable.

But now that he eats different kinds of delicious food every day, he finds the food at the garrison hard to swallow, which really proves the old saying.

Just as Shen Zhi was feeling worried about his own changes, Xu Qinghe started researching tomorrow's breakfast.

She hasn't had noodles in a long time, and tomorrow she wants to use the leftover pork cracklings to make a stir-fried noodle dish.

After the meal, Shen Zhi took over the task of washing the dishes. Xu Qinghe looked around and, seeing that she had nothing to do, began to examine the scraps of cloth she had exchanged with the shopkeeper.

With so many scraps of cloth, it felt like a waste not to do something with them. Just as Xu Qinghe was studying them seriously...

Shen Zhi had finished washing the dishes and came over, casually picking up the bow and arrow that Xu Qinghe had hung on the windowsill.

Startled, Xu Qinghe immediately asked, "Isn't it time yet?"

Looking at her terrified expression, Shen Zhi felt a sense of helplessness. It's just practicing archery, is it really that scary?

Although he was inwardly complaining, he didn't show it on his face. "I'm not going to practice today. I'm going to the mountain."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qinghe immediately became anxious, "What are you doing going up the mountain so late at night?"

Shen Zhi said, "The wedding banquet is the day after tomorrow, so I'm going to prepare some things." After saying that, he quickly left the house, not giving Xu Qinghe any time to stop him.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Xu Qinghe glared at him angrily and then ignored him.

The two children were itching to go and kept clamoring to go, but Xu Qinghe stopped them all.

She turned around and made Shen Chengyue assume a horse stance, which angered Shen Chengyue so much that his gaze towards her changed, becoming as sullen as when he looked at Shen Zhi.

In the past, Xu Qinghe would feel sorry for him if he acted like this, but now she doesn't care anymore. Let him watch! Anyway, he's doing it all for his own good.

When she first arrived, Shen Chengyue was as thin as a chick, and he could only get beaten up when he fought with others. Now, he can dominate others.

Shen Chengyue only dared to get a little angry. After finishing his training and relaxing, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to interact with Xu Qinghe as usual.

Soon it was already past midnight, and Shen Zhi still hadn't returned. Xu Qinghe, who was sitting at the door waiting, was getting a little anxious.

Just as she was hesitating whether to go up the mountain to look for him, Shen Zhi finally returned.

However, the way they came back was a bit unseemly; they climbed over the wall, and as soon as they climbed in, they saw Xu Qinghe.

Xu Qinghe was completely stunned when she saw Shen Zhi jump down from the wall with two chickens hanging on his left and two rabbits hanging on his right.

Can you do this?

Shen Zhi was clearly surprised that Xu Qinghe was still awake so late, and was momentarily stunned.

After a long pause, he finally spoke in a hoarse voice, "You're still not asleep?"

Xu Qinghe shook her head subconsciously.

Then Shen Zhi said with an embarrassed look, "I thought you were asleep, so I climbed down from the wall."

Xu Qinghe covered her mouth and yawned, then said earnestly, "I can't sleep without you back."

These words sent a warm feeling through Shen Zhi's heart.

Looking into her sleepy eyes, I unconsciously reached out my hand, and the urge to pull her into my arms reached its peak.

Shen Zhi suddenly pulled back halfway through, afraid that his recklessness would frighten her.

Xu Qinghe didn't notice any of this; she only knew that she couldn't control her sleepiness once Shen Zhiyi returned.

It's like a tense body suddenly relaxing.

"You're busy, I'm going to sleep." After saying that, she turned around and walked into the house.

Shen Zhi watched her walk quietly into the house until her figure disappeared through the doorway, then he took the chicken and rabbit off his waist and threw them into the chicken coop.

She looked down and smelled her clothes. After noticing a odor, she started to take them off.

Because Xu Qinghe was still there, he didn't dare to take off all his clothes. He took off his shirt and pants, and started pouring water on himself while wearing only a pair of underpants.

The water in the vat began to flow down his neck, and the water droplets shimmered in the moonlight.

After a quick rinse, I pulled the clean clothes off the clothesline and put them on as I walked into the house.

When he went in, Xu Qinghe had already fallen into a deep sleep, but a lamp was still left on the table for him.

Under the light, he could clearly see the bed that Xu Qinghe had made for him. A thin mat was laid on top of a thick straw mat, and a thin quilt was placed on top of the mat. Apart from the bed board, it was no different from a regular bed.

Shen Zhi's eyes softened even more. He turned around, closed the door, blew out the lamp on the table, and lay down on the straw mat that Xu Qinghe had laid out for him. A feeling of comfort washed over him.

He, who usually had difficulty sleeping, fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, he was awakened by a rustling sound. He opened his eyes and saw Xu Qinghe carrying a basin and tiptoeing out.

Seeing that he was awake, she whispered, "You can sleep a little longer, I'll go make dinner." Then she left like a thief.

Shen Zhi suppressed the sharpness in his eyes, chuckled softly, and closed his eyes to rest again.

Seeing that he had rested enough, he got up and went outside. When he went out, Xu Qinghe had already prepared the dough and was rolling out the noodles.

Seeing him get up, she seemed a little surprised. "Why didn't you take a nap?"

Shen Zhi: "I can't sleep."

"Come with me to town to buy some things later."

Xu Qinghe asked in surprise, "Didn't you just go there?"

Shen Zhi: "We're getting married the day after tomorrow. I'll buy you some clothes then."

Xu Qinghe glanced at her skirt subconsciously and asked suspiciously, "Is this not okay?"

Shen Zhi shook her head: "No, you have to wear red."

Xu Qinghe muttered, "They're already so poor, why are they still so particular?"

Shen Zhi?

"What did you say?"

Xu Qinghe quickly forced a smile, "It's nothing."

"Go wash up! I'll cook dinner and then we'll go."

Shen Zhi nodded, quickly washed up, and then began to help Xu Qinghe feed the chickens, ducks, and rabbits.

Because rabbits can burrow and pheasants can fly, these two creatures were still tied up at this point.

Shen Zhi clearly had no intention of untying them; he just kept them tied up and fed them, since they would have to eat the day after tomorrow anyway.

Just as he was feeding the rabbits, Xu Qinghe started making noodles. The aroma wafted out as soon as the hot oil and chopped scallions were poured in.

Next comes the pork cracklings, chanterelle mushrooms, and various seasonings. Once the chanterelle mushrooms are almost cooked, hot water is poured in.

Once the pot boils, add the noodles and wild vegetables. This way, the noodles will look and taste delicious.

Even though he had eaten dinner last night, Shen Zhi still felt a pang of hunger when he smelled this aroma.

It was very light, he could bear it.

After feeding the rabbits, Shen Zhi went to Xiao Hei's place and found Xiao Hei sleeping soundly in its doghouse.

Shen Zhi frowned immediately. Could such a lazy dog ​​really guard the house?
