Chapter 29: It's Heart-beating

Cook the millet porridge, cut some pickles and pour some sesame oil. Sick people cannot eat heavy food, so eat something light to warm the stomach first. Li Meng returned to the room and Wu Ruirui was already cleaning the room. How is it, is Pei Yu feeling better? Wu Ruirui asked, he had just taken medicine and fell asleep in a daze. Zhou Hui was taking care of him. It was nothing serious, just a fever. Li Meng answered while folding the quilt,

That's good. The weather has been getting colder these days, but he's still wearing the same clothes he wore when he first came. He must be cold. I saw him rubbing his hands yesterday. Wu Ruirui told Li Meng everything she observed.

I don't know what the situation is like at his home, and we can't ask. Let's wait until he gets better. It's still drizzling outside, and I don't know how long it will rain. I don't know if it's easy to go to town by ox cart now. Forget it, I'll ask for leave in two days. Pack up and remember to go to the kitchen to eat. There's millet porridge in the pot. I'll go see how Pei Yu is doing. Tell Wu Ruirui. Li Meng has gone to the kitchen.

At this time, Pei Yu's fever had subsided and he was sober. He reached out to remove the fever-reducing patch on his forehead, but Zhou Hui quickly stopped him and said, "Don't move. This is what Sister Meng put on you to treat your illness. Don't remove it carelessly."

Pei Yu felt that the thing on his head was cool and comfortable, so he just wanted to see what it was. When he heard Zhou Hui's words, he looked at Zhou Hui in surprise.

Why are you looking at me? You have a fever and we don't have any medicine here. I can only go to find Sister Meng. Girls are more careful than us men. They must have brought medicine. I didn't expect that Sister Meng brought so many medicines. When you get better, you have to thank her. Zhou Hui said it all like a bamboo tube pouring beans,

At this time, there was a knock on the door. Come in, the door is not locked. Li Meng heard the sound coming from the room and pushed the door open. How do you feel? I made some millet porridge. You get up and eat something before going to sleep. Li Meng put the things on the table and walked to the bedside to take off the fever patch and put it on Pei Yu's forehead with her hand.

At this moment, Pei Yu only felt the soft little hand on his forehead. His face seemed to be burning again, and his heart was beating faster. He stammered and said thank you.

Why is your face still so red? Are you getting hot again? Li Meng touched Pei Yu's face again. At this moment, Zhou Hui felt as if he was electrocuted. Who am I? Where am I? Sister Meng, are you sure you are not teasing decent women?

Cough cough cough... Pei Yu was also confused by Li Meng's actions. Stay calm. It's just a matter of convenience. Stay calm. Stay calm.

Li Meng didn't feel anything. Take out the medicine, this white pill. Take one in the afternoon and one before going to bed at night. That's it. I packed two days' worth of pills for you. If you still feel uncomfortable after taking them, come to me for more. Get up and drink the porridge before going to sleep. Make wontons to eat at night. If there's nothing else, I'll go over first.

Thank you, Pei Yu sat up and took the bowl to thank Li Meng. Li Meng smiled and waved her hands and said, it’s okay, we are all from the same courtyard, we should take care of each other, it’s our duty, and then left.

Pei Yu drank the thick millet porridge, feeling a little empty in his heart. It turned out that he was overthinking. Comrade Li Meng was just kind-hearted. Thinking of this, he felt a little sad.

Drop by drop, the rain gradually stopped around 3 p.m. The air after the rain smelled fresh with the earth. Wu Ruirui opened the door and stretched himself. It would be great if it rained every day, so he wouldn't have to go to work, hehe.

Li Meng walked up and tapped her head. What good things were you thinking about? Stop daydreaming, come to the kitchen with me, I will make wontons tonight. When Wu Ruirui heard that there was something delicious, he directly pulled Li Meng to the kitchen.

I'll go see if Sister Meng and the others need any help. You take good rest. Zhou Hui tucked in the quilt for Pei Yu and went out, leaving Pei Yu lying alone on the kang. Thinking of Li Meng's little hand on his forehead just now, he couldn't help blushing again. Seeing his current situation, he clenched his fists and fell into deep thought!

Wow, Sister Meng, you have such a deft hand. Look how beautifully you make these wontons. I can only eat them. What will I do when I get married in the future? Wu Ruirui wailed again!

Look at what you have achieved. Why do women have to know how to cook? Can't you just find a man who can cook? Then you just have to wait for the food to come. Li Laidi started to scold Li Meng before she could even open her mouth. "You, humph, sister Meng, it seems to you that your sister is bullying me, woooo woooo..." Wu Ruirui pretended to cry in order to get Li Meng to stand on her side.

Hahaha, okay, stop pretending. Sister Lai is right, but you should also learn something in the future. You don't have to cook for men. You also need to eat. So it's always good to have more skills. It's best to learn more skills. People can't rely on others. It's best to rely on yourself.

Then I will rely on you to teach me from now on. Wu Ruirui hugged Li Meng and laughed again.

Sister Hu Xiaoyu from Hujia Village, "Sister, we won't go to look for Sister Meng today. The rain has just stopped and the road is not easy to walk on. Let's go tomorrow. Sister Meng is always in the village. We can go anytime. She will definitely come when you get married. Don't worry. If the road is not dry by then, we can use a bullock cart to pull her."

I'm not in a hurry, I just want to go and see the scarves. So many people knew about it that day, and I was afraid that if we were late, the good-looking ones would be picked up by others, Hu Xiaofang explained.

Hu Xiaoyu slapped her thigh and said, "You're right, why didn't I think of that, sister? No, I'll go to Hu Wenge's house to borrow a bullock cart now, and we'll go tomorrow." Then she ran out in a hurry.

Li Meng knocked on the door and entered the room with wontons in hand. "Why are you here? Just ask Zhou Hui to come." Pei Yu sat up hurriedly when he saw that it was Li Meng.

He is busy eating, so it would be the same for me to come. What's wrong? Don't you want to see me? Li Meng asked back with a smile,

"No, I want to see you." As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned. Pei Yu was embarrassed why he said anything. She wouldn't think I was frivolous, right? Li Meng thought that he was confessing his love in disguise. Isn't it said that people of this generation are very conservative? This doesn't seem to be the case?

Um, eat it quickly while it's hot. This package contains mushrooms and meat, which is very fragrant. Try it quickly. Leave it here when you're done. Zhou Hui will come back to get it later. Don't leave the room. After Li Meng finished speaking, she looked up at Pei Yu and planned to leave.

It was at this glance that the two of them looked at each other. Her eyes were like shooting stars, as if they were twinkling in his heart. His eyes, as deep as the sea, looked at her passionately. His gentle eyes seemed to ignite her fiery soul. At this moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
