As Mrs. Ye said this, she stuffed a pillow under Qing Gang's mother so that she could lean on it.
With just this one action, Qinggang's mother looked at Mrs. Ye with even more love and affection.
Although it seems like a simple action, in fact, only people who are very careful or have the patience to take care of such patients can do it so naturally.
Mrs. Ye herself didn't seem to notice that there was anything special about her action just now, as if she was just doing it casually.
She looked around the room and asked, "Uncle, Auntie, it's a nice day outside today. The sun is out and there's not a single breeze. Can I open the window to let you get some fresh air?"
"That's great! My daughter-in-law helps us ventilate the house every day when she's home. Otherwise, the smell in this room is really unpleasant!"
"Okay."
As Mrs. Ye spoke, she covered the old man with a quilt, tucked it in, turned around and put a coat on the old lady, and finally opened the window facing the sun.
The fresh spring air suddenly rushed into the house, and the room became brighter instantly. The two elders looked much better.
Mrs. Ye went out again and opened all the doors of the main room and the windows of the east room.
After doing all this, she went back to the west room and asked the two old people if they wanted to go to the toilet.
The old lady quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't need your help with this. My upper body can still move, and I can handle this old man's side."
Mrs. Ye knew that the old lady must be embarrassed, so she said, "Auntie, don't be embarrassed. If you have any problems, just ask Xiaoxu to come and call me. My two brothers-in-law are at home. If my uncle needs anything, they can both help."
"Got it. Thank you. If there's anything else I can ask the children to call you."
Although the old lady said this, Mrs. Ye knew that she would definitely not say it on her own initiative.
So after coming out of the house, she said to Ye Rongxu alone: "If grandpa and grandma need any help, please call me immediately, okay?
"You don't have to run to my house and shout. See? Just shout from your side of the shoji. I can hear you. Remember?"
Ye Rongxu nodded repeatedly: "Auntie, I remember it."
"Okay, then remember to close all the doors and windows after a while, okay?"
"Okay." Ye Rongxu nodded again.
But Mrs. Ye was still worried. After thinking for a while, she said, "Forget it. I'll come over later. You just need to take good care of your brother."
After Mrs. Ye left, Ye Rongxu sat on the doorstep with his younger brother.
Usually Ye Qinggang is either busy working in the fields, or going out to do odd jobs or play cards.
Mrs. Lu had to do housework and take care of the elderly at home, so she certainly didn't have much time to pay attention to her children.
Ye Rongxu had been accustomed to helping his mother look after his younger brother since he was a child, and both children tried their best to be well-behaved and not cause trouble for Mrs. Lu.
The two brothers rarely even go out.
So even after being neighbors for such a long time, the Ye family still didn't know the names of Ye Qinggang's two children, and the children of the two families had never played together.
As soon as Mrs. Ye returned home from Ye Qinggang's house, Qingtian, who was waiting at the door, pulled her into the house and started "class".
"Mom, let's just learn two new characters in the morning." Qingtian said, and wrote the two characters "up" and "down" on a piece of paper. Then he explained them to Mrs. Ye using gestures and words to express his understanding.
"Mom, look, the strokes of the character '上' are all above the horizontal stroke, so it's '上'.
"The character 'xia' is always below this horizontal stroke. It's the character 'xia'. Isn't it easy to remember?"
"It's true. After hearing what you said, mother can tell whether it is up or down at a glance." Mrs. Ye said in surprise.
"Mom, try writing one." Qingtian put the brush into Mrs. Ye's hand.
Mrs. Ye had just tried to write two slightly crooked characters when she heard a young girl's voice outside: "Excuse me, is this Madam You's home?"
Before Mrs. Ye could get down to answer the door, Xiao Ye rushed out first and started barking at the door.
"Ah—" The person outside the door was obviously frightened, and his voice trembled. "Girl, did we come to the wrong place? Why is there such a big dog?"
"Don't be so surprised. Isn't it normal for people in the countryside to keep dogs to guard the house?"
"Who is it?" Mrs. Ye came out of the house, "Xiaoye, stop shouting."
"Woo--" Xiao Ye whimpered and stopped barking.
When Mrs. Ye went out, she saw a carriage that looked out of place in the countryside parked at her doorstep.
The door of the carriage had not yet opened, but the driver and the maid were already standing under the carriage.
This maid looks somewhat familiar.
Mrs. Ye slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, you are not that, that Miss Zhou..."
"Madam You has a good memory. I am Qiuyun, Miss Zhou's personal maid. Madam You, I am honored to meet you."
Qiuyun saw that Mrs. Ye didn't remember her name at all, but at least she remembered her daughter, so she immediately introduced herself and then explained the purpose of her visit.
“Ever since we participated in the cooking competition in Fengle County last time, my daughter has been obsessed with Madam You’s cooking skills.
"I've had some free time these past few days, so I came here to visit Madam You."
As Qiuyun spoke, she glanced at the Ye family's yard and the houses inside with the corner of her eye. It was really hard to believe that someone with such excellent cooking skills as Mrs. Ye actually came from such a remote place.
Listening to Qiuyun and Mrs. Ye talking outside, Miss Zhou could no longer sit still in the car.
