Chapter 227 True Love
One afternoon, the snow showed no signs of stopping, making the outside world covered in silver and white everywhere.
After returning home and resting for two hours, Suning, who had regained his energy after lunch break, stood under the eaves, stretched his old waist, and began to prepare dinner.
In addition to the Yan family and the Fu family, she also asked Fu Jiaming to quietly notify the three teachers in the cowshed.
Yes, teacher!
In addition to learning medical skills from Mr. Liu, she also studied biology and mathematics with Lin Tao and Liang Wanru, believing that learning more knowledge would not be a loss.
Once a teacher, always a father.
Suning likes and respects all three teachers.
Since we are discussing an engagement, of course we have to invite them.
"Ningning, why don't you get more sleep?"
"I slept well, but why don't you take a rest a little longer, godmother?"
"Don't mention it. Your godfather's snoring. Haha, let him sleep alone."
He smiled and held her arm with both hands, "That gives us a chance to be alone together."
"Hahaha, yes, let's have a good kiss!"
They walked into the kitchen chatting and laughing. There were still a few pieces of unburned firewood in the brazier and the kettle on the iron rack was emitting white smoke.
He deftly took the kettle off the iron hook and poured the hot water into the thermos.
He stood up and walked to the simple thatched shed outside the kitchen, preparing some firewood and fir leaves for kindling.
When she opened the oilcloth covering the outside, she saw the firewood neatly stacked inside, more than before she left.
It should be that Yan Bei had been helping to collect firewood during the days when she was away, and was afraid that it would not be enough when she returned.
Thinking of this, a soft light appeared in Su Ning's eyes, and the smile on his face became brighter.
After bringing enough firewood and dead leaves to the kitchen, godmother had already cleaned the two large pots and the rice steamer on the stove.
"The rice cooked in this rice cooker is quite fragrant, but it's a little hard."
"Well, when we have a big banquet here and there are many people, we use a rice steamer to cook the rice. The rice has a woody aroma and is a bit dry and hard."
Pour the washed rice in, add appropriate amount of water, cover with a log lid, put it into the big pot and add water from the outside.
Once the fire is lit, all you have to do is wait for it to cook.
"Ningning, what dishes are you going to cook?"
Hu Yingtao had just had dinner at Su Qingshan's house and learned a lot about the local customs.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since we are already here, we might as well follow the local customs so that others won't have anything to say about us.
According to the procedure, the two parties meet at the girl's home, and the meal has to be prepared by the daughter for the purpose of display.
That's why she listened to Ningning and didn't rush to be the chef and just wanted to help out.
"Let's do the math. Hmm... For fifteen people, five meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, and one soup should be enough, right?"
"That's certainly enough."
This is also because she has the means. Other families can only have one or two main dishes at most, so it is considered a very good treat.
Fortunately, Hu Yingtao is not a stingy person without any vision, otherwise she would have been scolded as a spendthrift.
I didn’t feel tired while working because I had someone to talk to. By the time it got dark outside the window, the food was almost ready.
…
As if on time, when it was just six o'clock after dark, everyone came into the house one after another through the small door in the backyard as usual in tacit understanding.
Since there aren’t as many braziers as in Grandpa Su’s house, Suning plans to cook in the kitchen.
Putting the eight-immortal table and another table together on top of the brazier not only keeps the food warm but also prevents it from getting cold.
"Oh, it looks like we've got another rich guy today!"
"Hahaha, isn't it good to have delicious food?"
"Yes, of course it is. Isn't this an exclamation? Since Ningning came into being, our food supply has been improving rapidly. Life is so good! You are worthy of being my good student~"
Liu Wenbo sighed happily, and looking at the person whose little face was flushed from busying himself, he felt incredibly soft-hearted.
Although he ended up with nothing and his wife and children separated, all the suffering he endured was nothing compared to having a student like her!
"Hey, Ningning is not just your favorite student, she is also our student!"
"Okay, okay, you two want to use your numbers to bully the weak, right? I...I'll get some help too! Old Yan, you old thing are finally here, hurry up, someone wants to snatch Ningning from us!"
He had just walked in and hadn't had time to shake off the snow on his body. Hearing his old friend's joke, Yan Changrong immediately responded with feigned anger.
"Oh, whoever dares to steal my Ningning, I will fight him to the death!"
“Hahaha~”
Lin Tao and Liang Wanru looked at each other and laughed. They couldn't help but feel their eyes moistened as they laughed.
Who knows how they got through these hard years?
They would not have dared to think of this day just two or three months ago.
It’s all because of Ningning.
This rare warmth still feels hot when I think back on it, no matter how long time has passed.
"Jia Dan, how do you feel now?"
"I have to thank Mr. Liu for the medicine. After drinking it for the last cycle, the pain from the wound has been reduced a lot."
Nodding, Liu Wenbo withdrew his hand from taking the pulse and his eyes met Fu Rong's inadvertently. He gave him a subtle look before continuing to look at the young man.
He also hoped that his good disciple could develop the secret medicine as soon as possible, otherwise Fu Jiadan's current symptoms could only be alleviated and suppressed by medicine but could not be eradicated.
That feeling of pain actually stems more from his psychological effects, similar to what Western medicine calls phantom limb pain.
There is no other way unless you recover.
In order to allow Fu Jiadan to move around more easily without having to sit or lie down all the time, Fu Jiaming secretly asked the team's carpenter to make a wooden wheelchair.
With it, Fu Jiadan can occasionally go out for a walk with the help of his family.
Now it seems to be working well, at least it makes the gloom in his eyes less intense.
"Are you all here?"
Wiping his hands with his apron, Suning smiled as he stepped over the threshold. Seeing that everyone had arrived and was sitting on the sofa, he quickly greeted them, "There's no heat in the house. Let's eat in the kitchen today. It's warmer there."
"Okay, let's all follow Ningning's arrangements."
“Hahaha~”
The group walked into the kitchen one after another in a rather grand manner. The Zhang family members who had just set out the dishes inside hurriedly put on a smile and made way for them.
After Suning introduced them, they greeted each other amicably before taking their seats.
Sitting down next to her, Yan Bei finally got the chance to say a few words in a low voice.
The little action that the two thought was quite secret was seen by everyone, but everyone just smiled and pretended not to know.
Everyone enjoyed the rare delicious food and ate it with great relish. They stopped only when their stomachs were full and satisfied.
After the food and dishes on the table were put away and replaced with teacups and hot water, everyone started chatting about family matters while warming themselves by the fire.
After chatting a lot with the Yan family's grandparents, Zhang Qi and Hu Yingtao felt that the Yan family was really good in terms of both family tradition and character.
You should know that the temperament of the elders may affect whether the couple can live a happy life after marriage.
Meeting good and reliable in-laws is more difficult than meeting a good man.
Knowing that they wouldn't be able to stay in southern Hunan for long, and that both sides were straightforward, Zhang Fu simply stopped hiding anything.
After looking at Su Ning who was talking to Yan Bei and Fu Jiaming without noticing anything, Zhang Fu looked at Yan Changrong with a smile.
"Grandpa and grandma, do you think we should settle this matter first?"
"real?!"
Hearing this, Yan Changrong's eyes widened with joy. He was about to ask tentatively, but he didn't expect the surprise to come so unexpectedly.
"It's good to settle it, it's good to settle it! I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I can't sleep well every day because I'm afraid that my beloved granddaughter-in-law will run away~"
"Hahaha, it was only Xiao Qi who got there first, otherwise I would be jealous too."
"Oh, you? Come on, if I remember correctly, your grandson is only in his teens and his hair hasn't even grown out yet, what are you snatching from him?"
"A girl who is three years older than you is rich, and a girl who is six years older than you is not happy enough. Do you understand, old man?"
"Go away, don't force me to cut you on this happy day!"
After scolding Liu Wenbo with a smile, Yan Changrong turned around and grasped Zhang Fu's hand, saying sincerely, "Under the current situation, we can't take out the things we prepared for our grandson before, so we can only let Ning girl down.
But don't worry, we will make up for it double in the future. Our whole family loves Ning girl from the bottom of our hearts.
From now on, don’t talk about Yan Qi. Everyone in our Yan family will hold her in the palm of their hands and love her dearly, and will never let her suffer the slightest bit.”
“We believe, we trust.”
Zhang Fu nodded and shook his hand. They could feel the sincerity of his words.
However, although I have mentioned the engagement to Ningning, I still have to ask for her opinion when it comes to this.
"Ningning, Yanbei, come here!"
