"Strange, something's not right. The water has been boiled twice, why hasn't the medicine arrived yet?"
Ning Dazhuang stared at the pot and said, looking rather foolish.
Even now, he still doesn't realize that today's situation was deliberately set up for him.
"Hey girl, wait a minute, I'll go check on Sun Zhengguo first."
"Go ahead! I'll wait here."
Watching Ning Dazhuang's departing figure, Wang Aihua fell into reverie.
She originally thought that Ning Dazhuang was already 23 years old and had good personal qualities, so the reason he hadn't found a wife yet was probably because he wasn't good-looking.
But when she met him, she realized she was completely wrong. Ning Dazhuang had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face, which perfectly matched the current aesthetic standards. Moreover, he was an active-duty soldier, which added to his appeal.
Wang Aifang realized that she had fallen for this man who was six years older than her, but she didn't know what he thought.
"I can't wait!"
Thinking of this, a blush crept onto her face.
Meanwhile, Ning Dazhuang was furious.
He went to Sun Zhengguo's room and found medicinal herbs scattered on the table, unsure if they had been tidied up.
Then look at Sun Zhengguo, who is lying on the bed with his legs crossed, seemingly lost in thought, looking completely comfortable and at ease.
"Sun Zhengguo, I'm over there tending the fire, and you're just lying here relaxing. Have you finished preparing the medicine on the table?"
Sun Zhengguo was not surprised at all by Ning Dazhuang's complaints, but casually turned his head to glance at him.
"Is it my fault? I had already prepared the medicinal herbs and was just delivering them to you when someone was chatting away with a young lady. What? I gave you some space, and you're still not satisfied? You even dare to come and interrogate me."
"Have you been here? I didn't see you."
Ning Dazhuang himself also expressed his doubts.
Is my vigilance really that bad, or is it just that being single for so long makes me unable to resist women and causing me to become too complacent?
However, he would never admit that he had indeed had a tiny bit of a thought for the girl just now. He was an upright soldier, the protector of the people, how could he do such a thing?
"Don't talk nonsense, kid. The girl is still young! You can't ruin her reputation."
"Oh! Oh! Oh! Keep pretending, I didn't expect you, an old man, to be so upright. If you want to, just think about it! Men should marry when they're of age and women should marry when they're of age. How about I help you two get together?"
"this……."
Ning Dazhuang admitted that he was somewhat tempted and was about to refuse, but he just couldn't bring himself to say it.
He's not some godfather; he'd definitely be tempted by pretty girls too. The problem is, he's several years older than her, and he doesn't know what she thinks. If things don't work out, it'll be too embarrassing.
"Is this appropriate? I'm quite a bit older than him. I can't let a girl help you and then make a mistake. You're going to hurt her like this."
"What's wrong with it? It's only six years older, it's no big deal! Don't worry, brother, we're all on the same side. I'd never cheat you, so just wait for the good news!"
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he sprang off the bed with a somersault, gathered all the medicinal herbs on the table into a winnowing basket, and then the two of them went to the kitchen.
"Brother, the water has boiled."
Upon seeing the two, Wang Aihua quickly stood up and said...
"You've worked hard, girl! But the medicine hasn't been put into the pot yet; you need to keep cooking it for a while longer."
As Sun Zhengguo spoke, he nodded slightly to Wang Aihua.
Seeing this action, Wang Aihua already knew what was going on. It meant that the other party was willing to talk. However, she pretended to be nonchalant and continued to sit there tending the fire, but in reality, she was very pleased.
After conveying the message, Sun Zhengguo didn't forget to get down to business and started putting medicine into the pot.
A moment later, the whole room was filled with the aroma of medicine. Seeing that the medicine was almost ready, Ning Dazhuang quickly looked for basins and buckets to prepare to put the medicine in.
"Alright, ceasefire. I don't need to explain the rest, right? You guys handle it."
After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he gave Ning Dazhuang a meaningful look, then walked out of the kitchen and went back to his room.
"Brother Ning, I'll help you."
As soon as Sun Zhengguo left, Wang Aihua offered to help, because she knew that Ning Dazhuang wasn't very good at expressing himself to girls.
"Oh! Thank you so much, little sister!"
It's said that when men and women work together, the work is less tiring. The two of them can finish the job in no time without even realizing it.
"Brother Ning, the water temperature is just right. You can soak in it for a while. I'll head back now."
It was definitely inappropriate for the girl to be present when they were about to do something, so Wang Aihua left the room and quickly went to her sister's room.
As soon as she entered the room, Wang Aifang couldn't wait to ask.
"How's it going? Any progress?"
"Sis, I don't know either, but I feel okay. Judging from what Brother Zhengguo said, it seems like there's no problem."
When talking to her older sister, Wang Aihua didn't hide anything from her.
"Okay! Little sister, does that mean it's a deal?"
Wang Aifang also had a big smile on her face. They were all family, and she hoped that her younger sister would marry into a good family.
"Sis, what should we do next?"
"Don't worry, according to Brother Zhengguo's plan, he will definitely express his gratitude after he has prepared the medicine. Just follow the plan."
Before Ning Dazhuang arrived, the group had already discussed the plan, so Wang Aihua knew what it was.
"But after today, Brother Ning will have to go back to the military camp. What will we do then? It will be difficult for us to see each other."
"Don't worry, Brother Zhengguo has already thought it through for you. He will ask his mother-in-law to help. I trust your future mother-in-law; she will take care of everything for you."
Hehehe!
The two sisters were in good spirits, chatting and laughing, and talked in the room for nearly an hour before Ning Dazhuang finished his medicinal bath.
After taking a medicinal bath, Ning Dazhuang got dressed and left the room.
I assessed my own condition. Just like last time, I felt incredibly powerful, as if I could kill a bull.
But Ning Dazhuang already knew that this was just an illusion, and he would not provoke Sun Zhengguo again, as that would be tantamount to suicide. This was an experience he had learned from his many failures.
"Brother Ning, are you done with your medicinal bath?"
As soon as Ning Dazhuang left the room, Wang Aihua appeared at just the right moment.
"Girl, I really don't know how to thank you for helping me for so long."
"It's easy to thank me. Was the car outside driven by Brother Ning? I've never ridden in one before. I wonder if Brother Ning...?"
The surprise came a bit suddenly. I didn't expect the girl to make such a request, and I didn't see Sun Zhengguo helping her at all.
"That's easy! Come on, come on! I'll take you around right now."
"Let me tell you! I drive really well. Don't let my youth fool you, I'm a seasoned driver."
Once the topic of driving came up, Ning Dazhuang started talking non-stop, sharing his endless experience. He then took Wang Aihua and left the courtyard.
This scene was witnessed by Sun Zhengguo, who was just about to leave.
Sun Zhengguo looked disdainful.
"What a load of rubbish, he's just a blockhead who's finally figured it out."
But is this a success or a failure?
I wonder when my wife's reward will be paid out?
