Chapter 46 As long as I am here, you will have a home
Watching people leave in a hurry, there are still a lot of things on the table.
Shen Man raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was just past nine in the morning, but it was not even ten o'clock yet.
Although she didn't know what this person was doing, she had nothing to do, so she just sat here and waited.
Looking out the window with snowflakes falling, Shen Man lamented that the scenery in the Northeast is really beautiful, but it is also really cold, and he can't survive without a stove.
This is not the first time I have been to a state-owned hotel. The fire wall by the window is very hot, just like the heaters in later generations.
Of course, there is heating now, but they don’t have it in rural areas, they have to have it in big cities.
I don’t know when I will be able to return to the city, and I haven’t gotten used to everything here.
It takes more than an hour to go shopping by car, and then it takes half a day to go to the provincial capital.
Fortunately, this place is very close to the countryside, and she got off from the countryside last time.
After about half an hour, Shen Man felt too embarrassed to sit there. She still sat in the store without eating. Fortunately, no one asked her to leave.
The door of the hotel was pushed open at this time, and Gu Chen's hat and coat were covered with falling snow.
This man entered the house carrying a large package, which was smaller than Shen Man's package.
"Back." Shen Man breathed a sigh of relief and said hello with a smile.
Gu Chen put his bag on the table, took off his hat, patted the snow and said, "You've been waiting for a long time, right? The forest farm is quite far from here, I ran there."
Even running back and forth took half an hour. He was afraid that Shen Man would be impatient and had to run.
Seeing him patting the snow off his coat, Shen Man asked with concern: "Are you okay? I'm not in a hurry. Besides, the car back to the village is still there, so there's no need to be in such a hurry."
Hearing this, Gu Chen smiled and shook his head, "Don't worry, it'll be fine. What do you want to eat? I'll order some food."
It was getting late, so he thought that they would go home after dinner. It would be even colder in the car if they didn't eat enough in such a cold day.
Seeing him talking about eating, Shen Man thought for a while and replied: "You can eat anything, just watch it."
Gu Chen got up and went to the window, looked at the dishes on offer, and finally ordered a braised pork, a twice-cooked pork, and a pound of rice.
Returning to his seat and looking at the girl in front of him, he couldn't help but have a smile on his face.
Ever since he started dating Shen Man, he has become very fond of laughing. I don’t know why, but it’s just like that.
And Shen Man watched him keep giggling at herself, and couldn't help but laugh too, "Why are you always staring at me?"
Embarrassing and shy...
Gu Chen was a little cheeky and said with a smile: "Look at you, you look beautiful."
Sure enough, when these words came out, Shen Man couldn't help but blush, glared at him coquettishly, and then turned away to look out the window.
The relationship between the two is heating up now, so this situation is normal.
The food was served shortly after, and the dishes were very large, with a large plate full of meat.
"Order that much?" Shen Man was stunned. Who could eat two dishes for two people? That's so much.
Gu Chen served her rice and said, "If you can't finish it, you can pack it away. I've brought a lunch box."
When you take your partner to a restaurant for the first time, he won't be able to order just one dish. You have to make sure the meal is good.
Seeing what he said, Shen Man took the bowl and the two of them ate together.
Not to mention, the meat at this time is particularly fragrant and has a strong meaty aroma.
Those white-skinned pigs of later generations have no meaty taste at all. Sometimes the meat feels tasteless when eating it, something is missing.
Now you can clearly feel the difference when you eat meat.
"It's delicious. Eat more." Seeing that she was eating happily, Gu Chen took the initiative to grab the meat.
Hearing this, Shen Man always felt that something was wrong. Isn't this just an advertisement?
She glanced at Gu Chen and said, "You eat what you have, I won't be polite."
In the end, she ate a bowl of two taels of rice, but she also ate a lot of meat. After coming here, her appetite gradually increased, and she could eat two large steamed buns and vegetarian dishes if she didn't eat meat.
Gu Chen didn't show any politeness and ate up all the eight taels of rice. Finally, there was a little braised pork left and he packed it up.
Looking at his appetite, Shen Man was a little stunned. How big would his stomach be if he ate eight taels of rice in one meal?
However, considering that the other person works in a forest farm, it is probably a manual job, and it is not surprising that he eats a lot.
The two of them didn't leave immediately after eating. It was still an hour before they went home.
From the window here, you can see the position of the tractor opposite. No one has passed there yet. They will be freezing if they wait now. They might as well wait here.
The two of them sat face to face and chatted, probably focusing on getting to know each other.
After careful consideration, Shen Man decided to tell the family situation of the original owner.
After all, those people are not good people, and no one will need to interact with them by then.
Hearing Shen Man's words, Gu Chen's eyes flashed with distress, and then he took her hand and said, "Xiao Man, I will protect you from now on. As long as I am here, you will have a home."
Looking at his sincere eyes, Shen Man felt warm in his heart and was extremely moved by him.
It is the first time for everyone to fall in love, so there will definitely be shortcomings and details that cannot be observed.
But Gu Chen is different. He likes to take care of Shen Man and treats her like a child.
Gu Chen pursed his lips and snickered in his heart: I finally touched my little hand again...
So soft and nice.
Of course, he meant everything he said.
Just like what he told Li Jinhua at the beginning, he just likes Shen Man and will not regret it if she leaves him.
Shen Man, who was sitting opposite, obviously noticed that something was wrong with Gu Chen. She always felt that the other party had something he didn't say, something she didn't know.
However, some things need to be said willingly, and there will be results if you don't ask. Therefore, she will wait for Gu Chen to take the initiative to tell her. There is no use asking now.
When it was almost one o'clock, people were returning to the tractor. Seeing the team leader coming back, the two of them carried their things and headed over there.
The package was quite big, and the two of them were leaning against each other while sitting in the car. Because Gu Chen was distressed, Shen Man put on the cotton coat again, which was very wind-resistant and warm, and was as big as a quilt.
"Why did you buy so many things?" The captain sat in front and looked back. Each of them had a large package, and there were also messy things stuffed into a backpack.
There are a lot of things Gu Chen bought at the supply and marketing cooperative.
Gu Chen smiled and said, "Isn't this the Chinese New Year? There are many people in my family, so I don't buy it often."
Seeing this, the captain didn't ask any questions. He turned around and asked someone to drive, and everyone started walking back.
It's getting late, and if we don't go back, it will be even colder on the road.
Along the way, Shen Man looked at the scenery on the roadside and looked at the people around her from time to time, but she found that every time she looked at Gu Chen, the other person was also looking at her.
What a coincidence? This person kept staring at her.
