Chapter 44 Wei Jie's Thoughts
Zheng Zhiyuan held the ginseng in his mouth, lay back on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep.
His brows were relaxed, having already gotten through the most difficult period.
Ye Rou covered her wrist which was hurt by being squeezed: "Master, this is not good for you, right?"
Doctor Liu smiled and said, "This is a white lie."
Ye Rou was worried that this would be like a pipe dream for Zheng Zhiyuan.
Doctor Liu comforted his young apprentice: "Don't worry, Old Man Zheng is strong-willed and stubborn. He's just stuck in a rut and can't figure things out for the moment. But when he does figure it out, he'll be happier than anyone else."
Wang Guoping breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Old Zheng had calmed down. He glanced at the strange girl, then at Jiang Chen, who had been staring at the girl. His face suddenly darkened and he grabbed Jiang Chen: "Jiang boy, what's wrong with you?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled: "What?"
Wang Guoping learned from Dr. Liu that Jiang Chen had bought Hei Yatou back. He had been expecting Jiang Chen to bring Hei Yatou to the bullpen, but Jiang Chen actually brought someone, and it turned out to be a beautiful girl.
"Let me ask you, where is that black girl?"
"What do you mean by black..." Jiang reacted and said speechlessly: "It's her, alone."
"Impossible." Wang Guoping denied.
Jiang Chen responded calmly: "You don't believe me, and you don't believe me, Doctor Liu?"
Wang Guoping was stunned for a moment, thinking of the last time Lao Liu said that this girl was not dark anymore, is she really the same person?
Seeing that no one in the room was paying attention to the food, Zhou Yuqing couldn't wait any longer and opened the lunch box first. When he saw that it contained braised pork, he was completely dumbfounded: "Braised pork!"
Wang Guoping and Li Weijun's eyes lit up instantly.
Dr. Liu joined the crowd scrambling for food. Ye Rou glanced at Li Weijun and Zhou Yuqing, who were the last two surviving among Jiang Chen's four masters.
During the turbulent times, all the family members died, and good brothers also died one after another in the most tragic ways. In their old age, the two men agreed to go to a nursing home, where they spent the last part of their lives.
Wang Guoping stared at the braised pork with rich red sauce, picked up the bowl casually, and the fragrance of bamboo hit his nose. Tempted by the aroma, he couldn't help swallowing the saliva that suddenly began to secrete in his mouth.
Except for Zheng Zhiyuan who was resting on the bed, everyone was staring at the plate of braised pork in the middle. Li Weijun was the oldest of the five old men. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks first. This seemed to be a signal, and the other three immediately started eating.
The cowshed suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of chopsticks scraping rice against the edge of the bowl.
As soon as Li Weijun took a bite of the braised pork, his back straightened instantly. He had always believed that people shouldn't indulge their appetites and should exercise restraint. In his life, this was the first time he had ever felt that meat was so delicious. One bite mixed with rice was so delicious that it made his scalp tingle!
The four of them ate without even raising their heads. In a short while, the plate of braised pork was empty, with only the last piece left.
Doctor Liu stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some food, but Zhou Yuqing was one step ahead of him and grabbed the braised pork first, swallowing it in one gulp.
After eating the last piece of braised pork, Zhou Yuqing's face turned into a chrysanthemum with joy. He was nothing like the characters in the books who were as calm as a chrysanthemum and behaved like an immortal.
Doctor Liu put down his chopsticks, glared at Zhou Yuqing, and then suddenly called out, "Apprentice."
Ye Rou was studying Doctor Liu's box of ginseng when she heard Doctor Liu call her, and she responded crisply, "Master."
"Master?" Wang Guoping opened his mouth wide. He had known Lao Liu the longest and knew how stubborn this old man was.
He actually agreed to accept a disciple?
Doctor Liu said cheerfully, "How is my new apprentice?"
Li Weijun nodded. This little girl was pretty, but her eyes were clear and bright. She didn't feel disgusted when she saw Old Zheng vomiting blood all over the bed. She pulled Jiang Chen to help Old Zheng change the sheets and quilt covers. She was a good child.
Zhou Yuqing is a gourmet, and the food cooked by Ye Rou has won his approval.
Wang Guoping was the first person to get to know Ye Yatou. When he heard her say in the clinic that she did not regret saving people, he knew that she was a good girl.
Jiang Chen saw that the four old men had finished eating and came over to clean up the dishes.
Ye Rou stood beside him.
Jiang Chen was gloomy and paranoid, and had no respect at all for their four nominal masters.
Ye Rou is beautiful and a good cook. The way she calls him "Master" is so caring.
There is a huge difference between apprentices.
For some unknown reason, Wang Guoping, Li Weijun and Zhou Yuqing began to envy Dr. Liu.
Doctor Liu will stay in the bullpen tonight to monitor Lao Zheng's condition, just in case.
Ye Rou and Jiang Chen said goodbye to the four old men and walked away side by side.
Zhou Yuqing looked at the two men from behind and suddenly smiled: "This is good, Jiang kid finally has some popularity."
Jiang Chen was a man of paranoid and overbearing character, cold-hearted by nature, and had a headache. The four old men had originally worried that he would go even crazier, but now that he had a little girl by his side, it was a relief.
Our ancestors said that softness can overcome hardness, which is very true.
——
When Ye Rou and Jiang Chen returned home, they saw Zhou Liang standing at the door guarding a big guy.
Seeing them coming back, Zhou Liang smiled and waved: "Brother Jiang, sister-in-law."
When Ye Rou got closer, she found that there was a sewing machine behind Zhou Liang.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Liang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, my mother said to send this sewing machine to you as the medical fee for curing my sister."
Maybe it was because she stared at the sewing machine at Zhou's house for a while. Zhou Nian saw it and remembered it in his heart, but the sewing machine was too expensive. Ye Rou shook her head: "You move it back..."
Before she finished her words, Jiang Chen walked into the house carrying a sewing machine.
When Zhou Liang saw that his brother accepted it, he left happily.
Ye Rou: “…”
She chased Jiang Chen inside.
Jiang Chen carried the sewing machine into the west room. As soon as he entered, the room was filled with a sweet fragrance, which was the subtle fragrance of Ye Rou.
He put down the sewing machine.
Ye Rou chased in: "Why did you accept it?"
"Why can't I accept it?" Jiang Chen still remembered Ye Rou walking out of the room, sweaty and pale after three hours of acupuncture. "You deserve this sewing machine."
Seeing that Jiang Chen had made up his mind, Ye Rou glanced at the dirty clothes on Jiang Chen and thought about the cloth she had bought in town. With a sewing machine, she could make some comfortable clothes for Jiang Chen and herself.
She no longer hesitated, touched the sewing machine, and smiled.
——
Zhou Liang went back and told Ye Rou that she had accepted the sewing machine. Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that she accepted it."
When the whole family was laughing happily, Wei Jie's face darkened and she walked back into the house.
Aunt Zhou stared at her back and frowned deeply when she thought of the mumbling words she had said during the day.
Zhou Ping chased his wife back to the house and saw her sitting there sulking. He scolded her, "Why are you throwing a tantrum again?"
Wei Jie yelled at him, "Am I throwing a tantrum? The sewing machine is so valuable. Mom said to give it to me, so I gave it to her. Why is she so partial?"
Zhou Ping knew that Wei Jie had small eyes and was staring at the things in the house, distinguishing them clearly. He said with a headache: "Ye Rou cured Xiao Nian, and the sewing machine was bought for Xiao Nian by Mom. What are you doing here?"
"Zhou Nian is just being pretentious! Go around the village and ask around. Which girl would be so desperate after being told something that her whole family would be in turmoil? I think she's just been spoiled by your mother!"
"Shut up!" Her voice was too high, and the noise outside stopped. Zhou Ping stopped her, "You are Xiao Nian's sister-in-law, don't say such things anymore."
Zhou Ping slammed the door and walked out.
Wei Jieqi's breathing was heavy.
The Zhou family is indeed rich, but as long as Zhou Nian is alive, her mother-in-law is biased and wants to marry Zhou Nian off as soon as possible.
She thought of her cousin and her eyes moved.
Zhou Nian has become prettier, barely worthy of her cousin. She's going back to her parents' home tomorrow.
