Chapter 69: Chapter 69 Marry Me Extra 2
One afternoon, even Nian Shutong took a break to rest and recuperate.
But Ha Ha worked continuously without rest.
At most, he paused a few times to drink water, yet even then, he would drink with one hand while his other hand never stopped working with the tool.
Ha Ha by himself worked as fast as a modern piece of machinery.
Nian Shutong suddenly felt that keeping Ha Ha around was, without a doubt, the right choice.
Over the course of the afternoon, Nian Shutong tended and corrected the first acre of land that Ha Ha had prepared; she planned to start seedlings.
Rice seedlings need to be nurtured before they can be transplanted.
As the sun prepared to set once again, Nian Shutong set off and returned with many bird eggs, two rabbits, and two chickens.
As she neared the small wooden house, she also bought some rice, potatoes, green peppers, and tomatoes from System Xiao Ba.
Time for a big meal in the evening.
At the very least, she needed to fulfill her promise to let Ha Ha eat his fill.
Having arrived at the small wooden house, Nian Shutong called Fu Yunhe out to begin cooking.
“Xiao He, how was your rest?”
Fu Yunhe, who was washing the vegetables, replied without pausing his movements, “I’m all good now.”
Nian Shutong, who was gutting the chickens and rabbits, shook the blood off her hands and said, “Then let’s do a live demonstration tonight, get some practice in.”
“Okay,” Fu Yunhe agreed, placing the clean vegetables into a bowl and bringing them back to the kitchen.
In the evening, it was still Nian Shutong in charge of cooking.
After frying the rabbit meat in oil, she added some chili pepper and stewed it for a while.
Potato chicken continued to be the main dish.
She made scrambled eggs with tomatoes to accompany the meal.
As for the rice, Nian Shutong steamed a large pot of it, three times the usual amount.
Once everything was arranged, Nian Shutong, summoning strength from her Dantian, called out loudly,
“Ha Ha! Dinner time!”
“Dinner time! Ha Ha Ha Ha!” Ha Ha laughed boisterously, throwing down his shovel and running over, as if he wished he could gallop on all fours to be even faster.
This time, Ha Ha knew to wash his hands first, then his face, and after cleaning up thoroughly, he sat down properly at the table,
“Alright, everyone grab your chopsticks!” Nian Shutong, as usual, was the first to start eating, followed by Ha Ha’s movements, which swept over the food like a swift breeze, rapidly decreasing the portion on the table, the rice diminishing at an incredible pace.
It was as if everything sped up.
In just a glance away then back, another layer of food disappeared.
“Ah— I’m full,” Ha Ha said, patting his head and then his belly, squinting his eyes contentedly, feeling like going to sleep.
Being full felt so good.
No wonder the Commander had told him to stay and help out, Nian Shutong turned out to be a really good person.
“Good person, why don’t you marry Ha Ha?” he suggested.
With a calm demeanor, Nian Shutong finished the food in her mouth, put down her chopsticks, and inquired, “Why should I marry you? Just for a full meal?”
“Rubble analyzed—it definitely isn’t because Ms. Nian Shutong is beautiful.”
“She can’t marry you, she’s my lawful wife.”
Two sentences followed one after the other.
Ha Ha looked at Rubble first, disagreeing, “No, that’s wrong, the good person is just dark, and her skin pitted, everything else looks good.”
Heh, Nian Shutong rolled her eyes. These compliments, she didn’t even feel happy about them.
After his comment, Ha Ha turned his head, feeling somewhat displeased, and looked at Fu Yunhe beside him.
“Humph! You’re just jealous of me. The good person would never marry you, you’re about to die. Marrying you would mean becoming a widow.”
“You definitely don’t want Ha Ha to eat his fill, you bad person.”
Fu Yunhe thought to himself, you’re all just too naive.
Becoming a widow, that’s Nian Shutong’s greatest dream.
