Chapter 126 Mother is so amazing! She can lift Father up!
Everyone was completely stunned.
The last piece of sweet and sour pork that Lü Shizhu managed to grab clattered onto the plate. His mouth was agape, and he forgot to pick it up for a moment.
He did pick up the chopsticks that had fallen, but he didn't even realize he was holding them upside down.
The waiter took a sip of water, then spat it out with a "pfft".
The water sprayed right onto Xiao Xuanting's face.
Xiao Xuanting stared blankly at the half-eaten rib, wiping the water from his eyes and face, and continued to stare blankly.
Baozhu was carefully picking food into a small bowl, but she glanced at it blankly for a moment, then immediately put down her chopsticks and clapped her hands.
"Mommy is so amazing! She can even lift Daddy up."
Little Baozhu couldn't see her mother's face anymore, because her father had completely blocked it. All she knew was that her mother was incredibly powerful, and her face was filled with admiration.
Jiang Nuanzhi smiled at her daughter, then frowned again: "Excuse me, everyone. He's actually quite heavy."
The old man stuffed the meat he had just eaten into his mouth, gave up the only chair, and sat down on a stool with the waiter next to him. He looked at the two of them with a strange expression.
Jiang Nuanzhi gently placed Li Rong on the chair, straightened her clothes, sat down herself, and gave Li Rong another pair of chopsticks: "Alright, let's eat."
Despite the stares of everyone, Li Rong forced himself to pick up a piece of cabbage and began to eat it with his head down.
He was too ashamed to lift his head again.
He never imagined that he would be being held by a young woman while eating. This was a situation he had never envisioned in his twenty-odd years of life.
"What are you all looking at? Hurry up and eat!"
Jiang Nuanzhi frowned and glanced at the others, then picked up the last piece of sweet and sour pork and put it in Li Rong's bowl: "Eat some meat too, you need to grow strong."
Everyone who saw Jiang Nuanzhi felt a chill run down their spine.
What kind of woman can hold such a tall and strong man in her arms like a child?
Anyway, they've never seen it before!
Sure enough, this kind of phenomenon can only be seen with Ah Nuan.
At the same time, no one dared to disobey her words, and they immediately responded and hurriedly lowered their heads to eat.
His gaze kept shifting back and forth between Jiang Nuanzhi and Li Rong.
It would be one thing if others didn't recognize Li Rong, but Sanqi was someone who had been trained as a soldier by this General Li. At this moment, he even felt like he was dreaming.
I first saw General Li when I was a child; he was returning victorious on horseback, riding high. At that time, he was greeted by the entire city's populace lining the streets. Young girls blushed and peeked at him through half-hidden veils.
The young men watched with great excitement, wishing they could have that day themselves.
His heroic bearing was so striking that words could hardly describe it.
Now, he's like a little wife, being carried out to eat by Dr. Jiang...
Sanqi's feelings were very complicated. So complicated that she began to doubt the world.
This was, in fact, the first time in a long time that Li Rong had sat down at a table to eat with everyone.
Looking at the people at the table, he felt a mix of emotions.
In the twenty-odd years of his life before, he never imagined that one day he would be sitting at such a table with the Imperial Advisor.
Thinking back to the past few days and reflecting on the past period, his gaze eventually fell on Jiang Nuanzhi, and his feelings were quite complicated.
However, after eating a piece of sweet and sour pork, he couldn't care less about anything else. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer dishes in front of him, he couldn't help but eat more frequently.
Jiang Nuanzhi also wants to make some pearl soup as a main dish today, which is warming to the stomach and also perfect for eating with barbecue.
I just don't know where her flour bag went; I couldn't find a single bit of flour, so I simply cooked a pot of lean meat porridge instead.
These people were quite formidable. They devoured nearly three pounds of meat, leaving nothing behind. They even finished the vegetable broth. They also completely cleaned the lean meat porridge.
After the meal, everyone looked at each other, each seemingly bewildered.
Among them were a young master, a descendant of a renowned physician, the Grand Preceptor of the Great Jing Kingdom, and of course, the esteemed Sixth Prince. Such an undignified situation was rarely encountered.
In contrast, Jiang Nuanzhi's family was quite unhurried. After all, even the meals that Li Rong had prepared before, the children would finish them all without wasting a single bit.
After the meal, the waiter naturally cleared away the dishes.
A few people belatedly got up to help.
This is a tradition in Jiang Nuan's family: no matter who it is, once they come to stay, they have to do chores.
Another thing is, Jiang Nuanzhi is alright at cooking, but she really doesn't like washing dishes, so she leaves that to them. She herself wants to take Li Rong back with her.
But Li Rong absolutely refused. For some reason, he became stubborn again, refusing to let Jiang Nuanzhi hug him and insisting on using his hands to support himself as he went back.
In the end, it was Lü Shizhu who carried the person back.
After a short rest at noon, Jiang Nuanzhi led everyone down to the fields in a grand procession.
Except for Li Rong, who couldn't walk, everyone in the family followed her to the fields.
Even Panax notoginseng cannot escape it.
He was assigned the hardest and most tiring job of carrying water, even though he was only assigned 30% of the work. At that time, he questioned the meaning of life while watering the plants.
He clearly came here to take Doctor Jiang back to Kyoto, so what is he doing now?
He silently sprinkled water on the ground, and the next second Jiang Nuanzhi slapped him on the head.
"You can't do that, you'll ruin the seedlings."
"...Yes, I'll be careful next time." Sanqi replied obediently and continued fetching water. Secretly, however, he gritted his teeth, determined to find an opportunity to bring this woman to the capital. Once they were on his turf, he'd see if she still dared to speak to him so arrogantly!
Jiang Nuanzhi had no idea about the complicated things Sanqi was thinking. All she knew was that the old man owed her a hundred taels of silver, and now that Sanqi was working at her house, it was barely considered that the debt had been repaid.
She brought some corn seeds from home today, along with some wheat seeds she had bought earlier. With so many people around today, she should be able to finish planting before sunset.
At that time, Lü Shizhu and the old man were turning over the soil in the field, Xiao Er was in charge of sowing seeds, and Xiao Xuanting and Xiao Baozhu were in charge of covering the soil behind them.
Sanqi was responsible for getting water from the canal to irrigate the plants.
Just as Jiang Nuanzhi had predicted, the work in the fields was finished by dusk.
After finishing the last bucket of water, Lü Shizhu immediately sat down on the ground.
"Ah Nuan, I've never been this tired in my life! If you don't get me ten pounds of roasted meat today, I'm never coming again!"
Jiang Nuanzhi: "You ate so much at noon, aren't you still hungry? We can make some other dishes for dinner."
Young Master Lü: "I can't get enough, I want to eat more."
"I want to eat that meat too!" The old man chimed in, "Make some more sauce, we didn't have enough for lunch."
Sanqi didn't care about her image at this moment. Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, rubbing her shoulders and saying weakly, "I should have eaten more at noon."
Inwardly, however, she thought to herself, "No wonder Doctor Jiang and General Li are husband and wife! Working for her is even more tiring than being trained by General Li back in the day! Neither of them is any good!"
Xiao Xuanting and Xiao Er were both sitting on the ridge of the field, lost in thought.
Upon hearing this, the waiter said, "Anuan, I also want to eat meat."
Xuan Ting nodded vigorously: "It would be even better if we could have that porridge from noon."
Little Baozhu stared blankly with her head tilted back, clearly still a little dazed.
Jiang Nuanzhi walked over and picked her up. Baozhu leaned her head against Jiang Nuanzhi's chest and hugged her neck, asking, "Mother, are you tired?"
Jiang Nuanzhi kissed her little face: "Mommy is fine. What does Baozhu want to eat? Mommy will make it for Baozhu tonight." The little girl had been running around all afternoon and was probably exhausted.
"Baozhu loves all the food her mother makes."
Jiang Nuanzhi couldn't help but kiss her little face again before saying to everyone around her, "Whatever you want to eat today, I'll make it for you all. I've also made some apricot wine; we'll open a jar tonight and have a drink together."
Upon hearing this, the crowd, who had just been listless, immediately cheered.
As the last rays of the setting sun warmed them, the group chatted and laughed as they made their way home.
"When did their family get so many men?"
Afu saw it from afar and couldn't help but mutter something to himself.
Xie Liangchen returned to the village before Ping'er and happened to see Jiang Nuanzhi and her group when they returned home: "They must be her friends."
"Where did a woman get so many friends? We do know the man surnamed Lü; he's the young master of Tongji Pharmacy, a notorious playboy. I wonder how he ended up with Fatty Jiang?"
The other two look strangely familiar. "Young Master, haven't we met before?"
Goodnight, my darlings
