After pouring a cup of hot water for Old Mrs. Guo, Wen Wan turned and walked into the kitchen, skillfully poked open the honeycomb coal stove, and put the small aluminum pot on it.
When the water started to boil, Wen Wan took out two eggs, tapped them lightly on the edge of the bowl, and then beat the eggs into the aluminum pot.
After a while, when the poached egg had solidified, Wen Wan threw the noodles in to cook.
When the noodles were cooked, Wen Guan prepared two bowls of sauce and scooped a lump of lard into it, and the aroma immediately came out.
"Grandma, the noodles are here." Wen Wan placed two large bowls on the coffee table and handed over chopsticks. "Grandma, please try what I made."
Old Mrs. Guo took the chopsticks, took two bites, and said gently: "Xiao Wan, your cooking skills are really good, very good."
Thinking about what happened just now, Wen Wan felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.
"Grandma, I'm sorry... about what happened today..." Wen Guan poked the bowl with his chopsticks unconsciously.
While cooking noodles, she thought about the fact that Liu Xiangquan and his men had come to her house today, and she felt very upset.
Ultimately, it was her fault that she was not decisive enough and did not handle things properly, which led to the mess.
Old Lady Guo put down her chopsticks, put her hands on Wen Wan's shoulders and said seriously: "Xiao Wan, you did a great job today. Grandma is proud of you."
Hearing this, Wen Wan raised his head, a little bit unbelieving.
"Xiao Wan, when grandma was young, she was notorious in the village for being difficult to mess with." Old Mrs. Guo said with a smile, "At that time, I was the only one taking care of Hao Ting, and others would always think we were weak and bully us."
"But I'm not a pushover. If anyone dares to lay hands on me, I will risk my life to get back what belongs to me." Old Mrs. Guo recalled those years with a lot of emotion in her heart.
She remembered one time, a scoundrel in the village bullied her because she was a widow and wanted to take advantage of her, saying that he was willing to be with her.
She was so angry that she picked up the kitchen knife and chopped while shouting: "You bastard, you dare to steal my food, I will fight you to the death!"
The scoundrel was frightened to death by her desperate beating.
"Xiao Wan, do you know? At that time, I didn't think about whether I would get hurt. I just knew that I couldn't let that bully succeed. I had to protect myself and Haoting." Mrs. Guo said, with a flash of determination in her eyes.
"Later, those scoundrels didn't dare to come to my house, and the people in the village knew that I was not someone to be trifled with." Old Mrs. Guo smiled and continued, "So, Xiao Wan, don't feel that you did anything wrong. You were very brave today. You are my pride, and I am proud of you."
Wen Guan listened to what Old Lady Guo said, his heart filled with admiration.
She had never thought that her grandmother had such an unknown past.
She took a deep breath and said, "Grandma, I understand. Thank you. I will definitely find the best doctor to cure your illness."
"If the town can't cure it, we'll go to the county. If the county can't cure it, we'll go to the city. Don't give up."
Old Mrs. Guo was completely confused and had a face full of question marks.
She heard every word her granddaughter-in-law said clearly, but she just couldn't understand the meaning of the whole combination.
"Xiao Wan, my illness is caused by not getting enough rest when I was young. Rheumatism is not easy to cure when the weather turns cooler. I have to endure it."
Wen Guan tilted his head and said, "No, grandma was talking about rheumatism just now. But Zhou Haoting said at that time that Grandma Guo was very ill and her wish was for him to have a wife as soon as possible."
