In the courtyard, everyone is afraid of the little boy who is so smart!

In this quiet evening, the sun shines gently on the earth, covering the whole world with a warm golden glow.

Zhao Shuzhuo and Wang Jianguo were busy together, and their figures looked particularly firm in the sunlight.

He Yushui was working her culinary magic in the kitchen; the clattering of pots and pans sounded like a beautiful piece of music.

After this afternoon of contact, Zhao Shuzhuo had a deeper understanding of Wang Jianguo.

He saw that when faced with the simple environment, Wang Jianguo did not complain at all, but actively sought solutions.

Wang Jianguo carefully repaired the roof with hay and mud. Every movement was filled with love for life and longing for the future.

Zhao Shuzhuo was indeed confused and couldn't help asking:

"Brother Jianguo, why did you come to the Great Northern Wilderness? This place looks so desolate, it can't be compared with the prosperous Sijiu City at all."

Wang Jianguo fell into deep thought, thinking about how to deal with it, and after a moment he slowly said:

"I work as a clerk in the police station in Sijiucheng. My job is easy. But I accidentally offended my immediate superior Zhang Ming, so he sent me here."

"However, I have always had great ideals in my heart, but I always feel that I cannot realize them in the Forbidden City."

"I firmly believe that only in this vast northern wilderness can I truly realize my value and shine, so I came here."

His hardworking, down-to-earth and tenacious qualities deeply touched Zhao Shuzhuo, who could not help but feel a surge of emotion.

He felt that Wang Jianguo's arrival might really be like a timely rain, bringing new changes and hope to their slightly dull place.

After a while, waves of tempting aroma wafted out of the kitchen. The aroma seemed to have magic, spreading in the air and instantly awakening people's taste buds.

He Yushui's clear and pleasant voice rang out:

"Brother Jianguo, Brother Zhao, the meal is ready, let's eat."

Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo stopped what they were doing immediately when they heard He Yushui's call. They washed their hands and walked towards the dining table with full expectations.

When they arrived at the dining table, Zhao Shuzhuo was stunned. The table was filled with delicious dishes that made people salivate.

Under He Yushui's skillful hands, those ordinary ingredients seemed to be given new life.

The potatoes are cooked to a golden and crispy texture, exuding an enticing aroma; the cabbage has a fresh color and a sour taste that whets the appetite; the corn tortillas and corn paste also exude a strong country flavor.

Zhao Shuzhuo couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Miss Yushui, you are such a good cook! This... this looks so delicious."

"No wonder you don't let me cook. Compared to you, what I cook is nothing."

He Yushui felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, her face flushed, and she said softly:

"Brother Zhao, don't say that. I just made some casually. It will be more lively if we all eat together."

Wang Jianguo was moved by the sumptuous meal. He looked at He Yushui with gratitude and said:

"Rainwater, thank you for your hard work."

He Yushui smiled and shook his head, saying:

“It’s not hard, it’s fun when we eat together.”

In fact, the ingredients are still the same common ingredients from Zhao Shuzhuo's home, such as potatoes, cabbage, and cornmeal.

However, He Yushui made these simple ingredients look and taste different.

After the three of them sat down, they began to eat. Zhao Shuzhuo was even more conquered by He Yushui's cooking skills. While tasting the food, he asked curiously:

"Well, this potato is delicious. How did you make it? Well, this cabbage is even more delicious. It's sour. And this corn tortilla and corn paste, how did you make them?"

I only heard He Yushui say:

"Brother Zhao, my father and brother are both great chefs, so I'm no worse than them."

Zhao Shuzhuo suddenly realized.

"I see. I was wondering, when these simple ingredients are in your hands, the taste is completely different."

The three of them chatted and ate together, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. Time passed quickly in the laughter and the sky gradually darkened.

Wang Jianguo and Zhao Shuzhuo also finished the final finishing work. They looked at the house that looked brand new after the renovation and felt a sense of accomplishment.

The three of them went back to their rooms to rest. Wang Jianguo saw that the candles in the main room had gone out, so he carefully closed the door and tried to contact the space.

"Yu Li, Hai Tang, Du Juan, Jing Ru, Jie Di, are you there? Can you hear me?"

Wang Jianguo shouted to the space. There were several people in the space. Yu Li and Li Dujuan were reading a book together, and Yu Haitang was watching a movie.

Qin Jingru and Yan Jiedi were working in the fields. When they heard Wang Jianguo calling them, they were all very excited.

When Yu Li heard Wang Jianguo's voice, she excitedly said to Li Dujuan:

"Dujuan, it's my brother's voice, go and say hello to him."

When Li Dujuan heard her brother's voice, tears immediately filled her eyes and her voice was so aggrieved that it made people feel distressed.

"Brother, where have you been? Why don't you come to see me? Don't you want me anymore?"

Wang Jianguo was so distressed when he heard Li Dujuan crying that he hurriedly said,

"Don't cry, Dujuan. How could I not want you? I can't go back now, but I will find a way. Please wait for me, okay?"

When Li Dujuan heard what Wang Jianguo said, she slowly stopped crying.

"Brother, I'm obedient. I'll wait for you. Please come back soon."

Wang Jianguo finally managed to coax Li Dujuan, and a heavy stone in his heart fell temporarily. He turned around and asked Yu Li with concern:

"Yu Li, how are you guys, are you all okay?"

Yu Li felt warm at heart when she heard Wang Jianguo's caring words, and quickly replied:

"We are all fine, don't worry about us. How are you, are you okay? Can't find a way to open the space?"

Wang Jianguo showed a distressed look on his face and said helplessly:

"I haven't found it yet. I'll find it as soon as possible. Don't worry."

At this moment, Qin Jingru spoke anxiously:

"Anquan brother, are you okay? I hope my parents didn't go to the courtyard to disturb you."

Wang Jianguo fell into deep thought when he heard Qin Jingru's question. After thinking for a while, he decided to confess to the others. He replied:

"I'm not in the quadrangle now."

Yu Li and the others were shocked when they heard this and asked quickly:

"What? Not in the courtyard anymore? What happened? Where are you now? Tell us quickly."

Wang Jianguo looked at the anxious expressions of the few people and patiently answered their questions.

"Something happened to me a few days ago, which is why the space is closed. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to worry you."

"But I'm fine now. It was He Yushui who saved me. We have come to the Great Northern Wilderness now. Let's settle down first and talk about it later. Let's take it one step at a time."

After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, everyone felt worried and hopeful.

The worry is that Wang Jianguo encountered an accident, while the hope comes from his current safety and expectations for the future.

They prayed silently in their hearts, hoping that Wang Jianguo could find a way to open up the space as soon as possible so that everyone could reunite again.

At the same time, they were also relieved that Wang Jianguo received help from He Yushui when he was in trouble.
