Yu Wenbo felt a little disappointed; with her around, the ward felt much warmer. But he also knew that Xie Yuyao had her own things to do and couldn't come to the county town every day.
Moreover, he had heard that Xie Yuyao couldn't ride in a car, and it must have been really hard on her to travel back and forth for the past three days.
"Has Dr. Huo come to see me?" Xie Yuyao asked.
Li Weidong: "He said he is recovering very well, and at this rate, he will be able to be discharged from the hospital soon."
Xie Yuyao nodded in agreement; it seemed the spiritual spring water was working. She was increasingly confident that Wenbo would fully recover.
“The educated youth housing complex is under construction now. I heard there are a lot of people there, and it will be completed in a few days. When we are discharged, we can move into our new homes.”
"That's great, things have finally turned around!" Li Weidong smiled broadly.
During her visit, Xie Yuyao went to the department store and gathered all the spices needed to make the braising liquid.
I also bought dried goods such as kelp knots, wood ear mushrooms, and dried bean curd sticks, as well as noodles, planning to make do with the braising sauce at Zhao's house tomorrow.
On her way back to the hospital, she deliberately went into her online space to kill time.
He pretended to have gone to a scrap yard and found a cookbook and a prescription book.
These two books, though yellowed, are well-preserved and clearly quite old. They might be family heirloom recipes that ended up in this junkyard.
She was so busy yesterday afternoon that she forgot to put it in the sack, so she'll take it home today and study it carefully.
Time flies, and it's time to head back.
Zhao Honghui was still waiting at the Hongqi Commune station. After picking up Xie Yuyao, he said, "Let's eat at home today. Huizi will drive the truck to deliver the tiles. Let's treat him to a meal."
“Great! I just bought the ingredients for making the braising sauce.” Xie Yuyao waved the bag in her hand.
Anyway, the braising liquid can be stored for a long time, so it doesn't matter whether you make it early or late.
Zhao Honghui pointed to the bag on the bicycle handlebars: "Perfect, I bought some pork, let's make braised pork."
"no problem."
After saying goodbye to Li Weidong and Chen Kai, Xie Yuyao jumped onto the back of the bicycle and went back with Zhao Honghui.
Li Weidong watched them ride away into the distance, feeling a pang of resentment. His pride wouldn't allow him to poach talent, and he could only blame himself for not seizing the opportunity in the past.
Along the way, Xie Yuyao leaned against his back, quietly enjoying their time together, which had a peaceful and serene feel to it.
Upon arriving at the educated youth compound, I witnessed a familiar scene.
It was the same truck; last time it was transporting bricks, this time it was transporting roof tiles, and there were many more people unloading the goods.
"team leader!"
Hui Zi saw Zhao Honghui and walked over.
"Why did you buy so much stuff?!" The handlebars of the bicycle were almost completely covered.
Xie Yuyao jumped off the back seat, smiled and nodded at him.
Hui Zi said with shame, "Thank you, educated youth. I'm really sorry about what happened last time."
"It's nothing, you were just doing it for Honghui's own good." Xie Yuyao brushed it off lightly, knowing that the other party must still have doubts, and even Zhao Honghui might have his own suspicions.
But she didn't want to fabricate lies to cover up the abnormality.
Regardless of whether they are both elite figures, even ordinary people, if one lie needs another to cover it up, it will eventually be exposed.
"Yaoyao, push the bicycle back first. We'll go back after we finish unloading the tiles." Zhao Honghui put on the work gloves he had prepared beforehand, ready to get to work.
"How about I help too?"
Zhao Honghui pointed at the group of people carrying goods and said, "There are so many people here, we don't need a girl like you. Go back."
In fact, there were women among the people moving the goods, but Xie Yuyao was not foolish enough to insist on showing off her hard work and endurance.
She did as she was told and went back first, but not with the cart.
Since she was wearing trousers today, the tall woman stepped onto her old-fashioned bicycle, waved to them, and rode away with a push of her foot.
Because she hadn't ridden a bicycle in a long time and had a lot of things hanging on the handlebars, she initially rode erratically.
"Be careful!" Zhao Honghui's heart was in his throat. He took two steps after him and shouted.
A clear voice came back: "Okay!"
Seeing that she was riding more and more smoothly, Zhao Honghui finally felt relieved.
"Captain, you're completely under their thumb!"
Hui Zi had never seen the boss care about anyone so much, but Xie Zhiqing was carrying a secret, and only the team leader dared to entrust his heart to him.
Zhao Honghui, somewhat proud, glanced at him and said, "You don't understand."
Hui Zi disagreed, saying, "I have a wife and kids, a warm bed, what wouldn't I understand? Captain, we're men, we can't lose our manly spirit."
"Really? How are your ears?" Zhao Honghui scoffed, asking a completely unrelated question.
If he hadn't accidentally seen his wife scolding him by pulling his ear, he might have actually believed his nonsense.
"......"
Hui Zi turned and left.
Zhao Honghui chuckled, took a few quick steps, put his arm around Zhao's shoulder, and the two brothers went to work.

Xie Yuyao rode her bicycle ostentatiously all the way back to Zhao Honghui's house.
Huang Qiufen, who was standing at the door eating sunflower seeds, was extremely jealous when she saw the many bags in front of her car.
She asked sarcastically, "Xie Zhiqing, do your parents know you're buying things all the time?"
Having nowhere to vent his anger from the morning, he now directs it at Xie Yuyao, because she chose to be with Zhao Honghui!
Xie Yuyao smiled dismissively, too lazy to engage in a verbal battle. She simply stopped the car and took all her belongings off the handlebars.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, are you mute?" Huang Qiufen persisted like a mad dog.
Xie Yuyao retorted indifferently, "Is it any of your business?"
She really thought that just because she was pregnant, she would become the Queen Mother of the West.
Huang Qiufen was dumbfounded. She never expected that Xie Yuyao, who seemed so gentle and easy to talk to, could be so sharp. Wasn't she afraid that her parents-in-law would dislike her?
"You...you don't appreciate kindness!"
Xie Yuyao: "It'll be quick, right? If you really meant well, you wouldn't say such things."
After saying that, she carried her things into the courtyard.
As they passed each other, Huang Qiufen deliberately stuck out her foot, trying to knock Xie Yuyao down.
Having seen this move countless times in movies and TV dramas, Xie Yuyao simply raised her leg and stomped down.
"Ah!" Huang Qiufen cried out in pain.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Yang Chunhua, who was chopping vegetables, rushed out of the kitchen with the cleaver in hand. When she saw Xie Yuyao, she quickly put the cleaver behind her back and said affectionately, "Yaoyao, you're back!"
"Mom, she stepped on my foot!" Huang Qiufen cried out, trying to shift the blame.
Seeing that her stomach was fine, Yang Chunhua scolded her: "Yaoyao, you were carrying so many things, couldn't you have gone far? Who can you blame for blocking the door?"
Huang Qiufen, who had always been protected by her mother-in-law because of the child in her womb, stared wide-eyed, unable to believe that her mother-in-law had changed her mind and was so indiscriminately favoring Xie Yuyao.
She was filled with grievance: "I was just turning around to go inside when she deliberately stepped on my foot!"
