However, Wei Yuyan dared not add too much broth, as it was too salty, and puppies cannot eat things that are too salty.
Wu Chen, leaning on his crutch, helped clear the dishes and utensils into the kitchen.
Sister-in-law Zhang washed the dishes before going home.
"How was your doctor's visit today? You still can't walk?"
Wei Yuyan could finally sit down and have a cup of tea. She especially liked the tea Wu Chen brought back this time.
I've never tasted such delicious tea, even in modern times.
"Yes, the doctor prescribed medicine for me to soak my feet in, and said I need to rest for about a month before I can put down my crutches."
Wu Chen was flattered that Wei Yuyan would care about his leg, so he quickly sat down and started talking to her.
"Then you should take good care of yourself. What are your plans after you've recovered?"
Wei Yuyan chatted idly for a bit, taking the opportunity to learn more about Wu Chen.
"The plan... the current plan is to be your long-term worker, to do your work, and let you rest."
Wu Chen didn't expect Wei Yuyan to ask this question.
"Stop being so cheeky..."
Wei Yuyan almost laughed when she heard this. A long-term worker, that sounds pretty good.
"I'm serious, you've sacrificed so much for the family these past two years, you've worked so hard."
It's time to enjoy myself. When the time comes, I'll do whatever you tell me to do.
If you ask me to sell steamed buns, I'll sell steamed buns; if you ask me to cook, I'll cook; if you ask me to do laundry, I'll do laundry.
Wu Chen spoke in a very serious tone.
“I’m not a landlady, what do I need a farmhand for? If you want to work for me, you have to see if you meet the standards.”
Hearing this, Wei Yuyan felt quite pleased; this attitude was quite good.
I don't know if it's true or not, since many men are just using sweet talk.
"Just you wait and see, I'll make sure you have everything done for you."
Wu Chen only wants to do one thing right now: to keep Wei Yuyan here and not leave, so that he can have a chance to gradually influence her.
"That's not the case. If you're good at business, that would be even better. I don't need to worry about business."
Wei Yuyan really needs a smart helper. If Wu Chen can do that, it will save her a lot of trouble.
He wouldn't leave immediately; he'd at least make a fortune before leaving.
"I think I do have some talent, but of course, anything I say now is just theory. You'll have to work hard this month."
Wu Chen spoke these words in a calm tone, but he was actually very excited inside.
At least Wei Yuyan was willing to give him a chance, a chance for the two of them to get to know each other.
"If you have nothing else to do, why don't you do some clothes? Aren't you going to rest?"
Wei Yuyan wasn't sleepy today. After drinking a few cups of tea, she felt even less sleepy, so she took out some fabric and started making her own clothes.
"I'm not taking a break anymore. I've been sleeping well lately, and if I sleep during the day, I won't be able to sleep at night."
Wu Chen took out a book and started reading it with an air of importance, but in reality, he spent two-thirds of the time looking at Wei Yuyan.
Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have words on my face?
Wei Yuyan worked for about half an hour, but she couldn't stand Wu Chen's burning gaze any longer, so she asked him a question.
Sorry~
Wu Chen quickly looked away, but his ears turned slightly red.
Wu Chen felt that this afternoon was particularly wonderful. The two of them were like an old married couple, peaceful and happy.
The next morning, while Wei Yuyan was making breakfast, Leng Feng came over and said that Master Huang wanted her to come over in the afternoon to settle the bill.
"Wow, is everything done?"
Wei Yuyan was somewhat expectant.
"Yes, that's right. The bricks in the front yard have all been laid. Today we just need to tidy up the house inside and out."
Leng Feng nodded. He had been busy cleaning for the past two days and had basically finished.
"Okay, I understand. I'll go find him after lunch this afternoon."
Wei Yuyan nodded, but in her heart she was wondering why her sister and brother-in-law hadn't arrived yet; they could move tomorrow.
"Sister Wu, I'm going to move the things I need to the old house over there."
After breakfast, Leng Feng volunteered to tidy up the old house.
"Okay, I'll take the cold air, all the pots and pans, and the best bed too. You can decide on the rest."
Wei Yuyan nodded. Putting aside everything else, Leng Feng was quite diligent.
What a great helper!
"clear".
Leng Feng took the children to school before going to the old house to clean things up.
Wei Yuyan was at home counting the money. The agreed-upon twelve taels of silver, plus one tael for the front yard, would make thirteen taels.
I've already given Master Huang nine taels of silver, so this time I'll give him four taels of silver plus a red envelope.
Wei Yuyan put three hundred coins in the red envelope. The house was still quite nice overall.
However, she felt that Master Huang had already made a lot of money, and Hong Feng was fine as long as he made enough.
"Yu Yan, I'll go check on her when I have time."
Wu Chen couldn't wait until the afternoon; he wanted to go and check it out now.
"Go ahead and go, I'm too lazy to go. I'll be cooking again soon."
Wei Yuyan took out some fabric and started making her own clothes. The weather was getting colder and colder, so Wei Yuyan went closer to the stove to work, where it was quite warm.
Wu Chen, leaning on his cane, arrived in front of the new house, where he saw workers busily working.
Some were weeding, some were sweeping up pebbles, and some were repairing the gaps between bricks; everyone had their own job.
Wu Chen walked in, but no one noticed him.
"Who are you?".
Master Huang didn't know that Wu Chen was Wei Yuyan's husband; he thought Wu Chen was just an ordinary villager.
"I am Wei Yuyan's husband."
When Wu Chen said those words, he felt a sense of satisfaction. He wished he could introduce himself like that from now on.
"Oh my, so it's Brother Wu. I've heard so much about you. I met you before, but I didn't know you were the young lady's husband."
What do you think of this house? Is there anything else that needs tidying up? We can make some improvements while we're still working on it.
Master Huang was somewhat surprised to hear that he was Wei Yuyan's husband. He had heard that Wei Yuyan had joined the army and had not been heard from since. He was back so soon.
"Okay, I'll go check the second floor."
Wu Chen, leaning on his cane, slowly made his way to the second floor. There were three rooms in total.
Wu Chen secretly hoped that once they moved to the new house, he could sleep in the same room as Yu Yan.
"How about it?".
Master Huang noticed that Wu Chen was in a daze, wondering what he was thinking or if he was dissatisfied.
"It's great, your cooking skills are excellent."
Wu Chen nodded and went down to the first floor, where he found that the storage room had been divided in two, creating a small room.
"This was designed by my younger sister Yuyan herself. The layout of this house is really good, even better than my design. It will definitely be comfortable to live in."
Master Huang made no secret of his admiration for Wei Yuyan.
