With her partner's overprotective, motherly concern, Zhang Jizhou finally learned what dating was all about.
At that time, Zhang Jizhou thought to himself that when he came back for the New Year, he would find an opportunity to go on a date with Fang Yan.
To his surprise, he was carried off the plane.
After he woke up, Zhong Huaizheng and his mother-in-law, with their four eyes, stared at him all day long as if he were a national treasure, wishing they could treat him like a fragile doll and make him lie in bed to rest for twenty hours a day.
Even now, he feels that his body has recovered to about 70-80%, and he can still go out to work in the fields.
But Zhong Huaizheng was still worried and insisted that he rest in bed every day to conserve his energy.
And just like that, Zhang Jizhou almost forgot about the date.
Fang Yan's rented courtyard was too small. So many people were crammed into two or three rooms. People came and went every day. Only for the first three days after he returned, because his injuries were more serious, was he able to sleep alone in a room with Fang Yan at night.
Three days later, after much pleading and cajoling from Xiaoyuzai, Fang Yan finally agreed to let him return to the big bed to sleep.
That brat was so happy! He even secretly made a face at him and proudly boasted, "Dad, Mom loves me the most!"
At that moment, Zhang Jizhou had the urge to give his son a good beating for the nth time.
With so many people at home every day, I can't even find an opportunity to be alone with Fang Yan, let alone go on a date.
The sun is shining brightly today, perfect for a date up the mountain.
"I'll go arrange things; you're in charge of persuading Dr. Zhong."
After saying that, Fang Yan hurriedly walked out.
Zhu Xiuhua has now mastered the task of cooking braised dishes. Fang Yan only needs to prepare the spice packet and then secretly mix in the spring water.
In early summer, Zhu Xiuhua was in charge of tending the fire. Following Fang Yan's instructions, she would turn the food in the pot over on time and turn off the fire when the time was up. She was very familiar with this process.
In early spring, the pork used to make pork jerky is washed, dried, and minced.
The meat grinder was bought for Zhang Jizhou through a third party.
He had previously served on missions at Pearl Harbor and had seen this type of equipment there.
However, Pearl Harbor now belongs to a foreign country, making it difficult for goods from there to reach the mainland.
After several twists and turns, including contacting several comrades-in-arms and even a retired comrade whose home was in Shenzhen, Zhang Jizhou finally managed to get two units.
Fang Yan's workload has been greatly reduced.
Although in the past, she would try to get the pork into the kitchen and grind it using the meat grinder there.
But now, Chu Chun can do this job for her ahead of time, which will save her a lot of time.
Zhang Jizhou is now able to do some lighter work.
Recently, Fang Yan has been able to relax a little. She can still find time to go out for half a day and prepare to deal with those scumbags.
"Ji Zhou is going out too?"
When Zhu Xiuhua heard that Zhang Jizhou was also going out, her brows furrowed. "His health has only just improved a little. What is he going out for? If you need someone to go with you, I will go with you. Otherwise, you can have your brother or Chuchun go with you."
We're here to set up the scene in advance so we can deal with those scumbags. What are you guys doing coming with me?
Of course, it's impossible to say that out loud.
Fang Yan was straightforward: "Zhang Jizhou wanted to find some kind of herb, but I didn't know what it looked like, so I went with him."
"What kind of herb? What does it look like? Maybe your brother and I know."
Zhu Xiuhua asked.
Fang Yan shook her head. "He doesn't know the name of the herb, nor can he describe what it looks like, but he has seen that herb before."
In short, only Zhang Jizhou can go in person.
What else can Zhu Xiuhua say?
"Tell Ji Zhou to wear two more layers of clothing; it's not like home outside. Also, ask Dr. Zhong to bring more medicine, and..."
She went on and on, giving instructions for ages. Anyone who didn't know better would definitely think that Zhang Jizhou was her son.
After arranging things, Fang Yan went back inside, took out a cloth bag, and took out two bottles of spring water from the kitchen and put them in.
Zhang Jizhou seems to have recovered quite a bit, but since he hasn't had a follow-up check-up yet, no one knows exactly how much his body has recovered.
This was his first time going out since his injury, and it was to go hiking. Fang Yan had made thorough preparations for him, including all kinds of food, spring water, and clothes.
As expected, Zhang Jizhou also encountered Zhong Huaizheng's refusal, "No, you haven't fully recovered yet and can't go out alone. If you absolutely have to go out, you can only take me with you."
Three large black lines immediately appeared on Zhang Jizhou's forehead: ...
I went on a date with my wife, so why did I bring you along?
Zhang Jizhou would never agree to that. "Dr. Zhong, I know what you're worried about."
He knew that his injuries had healed so inexplicably that Zhong Huaizheng still couldn't believe it.
I'm always afraid that this is just an illusion, and one day we'll suddenly be back to square one.
"At the latest, tomorrow or the day after, let's go to the county hospital for a comprehensive check-up, is that alright?"
Zhang Jizhou wanted to reassure him.
Zhong Huai was starting to soften his stance. "What if something happens to you after you go out this afternoon?"
The check-up is tomorrow or the day after. What if something comes up in the afternoon?
Zhang Jizhou: ...
Thank you so much!
Can't you wish me something good?
"Okay, I'll try my best to get back before dark," Zhang Jizhou promised.
Zhong Huai was "bargaining," insisting, "I have to be back before five o'clock."
It's almost 2 o'clock now. If I come back before 5 o'clock, then I only have three hours.
"If you don't agree, you don't need to go out."
Seeing the strange look appear between his brows, Zhong Huaizheng spoke slowly again.
Zhang Jizhou: "I'll be back at five o'clock, so I'll be back at five o'clock."
Little Fish only found out his parents had left for a date ten minutes later. "Where did Mom and Dad go? Why didn't they take me with them?"
Zhang Zongde's grandchildren are still unaware that Qibei has dealt with the chubby boy.
So the little guy took Qibei next door to find the older brothers and sisters and tell them about Qibei's heroic deeds.
And so, he missed his parents going out.
“Your parents are out on business and can’t take you with them,” Zhu Xiuhua told Xiaoyuzai what Fang Yan had left behind. “Your mom said that she and your dad will be home before dark, and that you and Qibei should stay home quietly.”
"Oh, I know, Grandma."
Little Fish was very unhappy, but he still obediently replied.
When they returned to the main room and only he and Qibei were left, he put his arms around Qibei's neck and whispered, "Do you think Mommy and Daddy are the best of friends?"
Qibei: ...
I am a dog, please don't make things difficult for me!
