Chapter 71 Pretending to be illiterate, the temptation of free meals
Seeing Lin Dayou arrive with gifts in both hands, Lin Yangshi, who had been angry with Lin Zhousheng about borrowing money, instantly felt her anger dissipate.
Lin Luoxi successfully delivered Lin Dayou to the village chief's house, and then she quickened her pace back.
Today, Dr. Yang is going to show her his medical books, so she can't be away from home and risk making Dr. Yang think she doesn't value him.
I had just arrived home when I met Dr. Yang, who had come from the next village.
"Master, Brother Xiaofeng, why are you here so early today?" Lin Luoxi was a little surprised that Doctor Yang had arrived so early.
"I know you're all very busy every day, so I thought I'd come early so as not to take up too much of your time," Dr. Yang replied with a smile.
Actually, the truth is that the grandfather and grandson had been eating delicious food at Lin Luoxi's house for the past few days, which spoiled their palates.
He started to dislike the cook at home for his poor cooking, so he decided to come to Lin Luoxi's house for a free meal.
"Girl, this is a medical book for you. Take it and read it. In a month, I will start testing you." Doctor Yang took out the bundle from his back and threw it to Lin Luoxi.
Lin Luoxi quickly reached out and took it, almost falling to the ground from the weight of the book.
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and regained her balance, preventing herself from falling to the ground.
Good heavens! She thought the books weren't very heavy and didn't use much force, but she almost embarrassed herself.
Moreover, Lin Luoxi hadn't expected that Doctor Yang, at his age, could carry such a heavy book without even breaking a sweat; he was truly amazing.
"Oh, Luo Xi, judging from your reaction just now, it seems you know a little kung fu?" Doctor Yang asked, stroking his goatee.
"Grandpa, have you forgotten? Yesterday she could flip and spin in mid-air and easily beat you all over..." Yang Xiaofeng whispered in Dr. Yang's ear as he looked at Dr. Yang.
"Hiss~" When Doctor Yang heard her grandson belittle her, she glared angrily at Yang Xiaofeng. In a moment of carelessness, she plucked out several of her few remaining whiskers, which broke her heart.
"Pfft~"
“Master, these medical books you gave me are excellent; I’m eager to read them as soon as possible.”
"But they know me, but I don't know them!"
Lin Luoxi couldn't help but laugh at the grandfather and grandson in front of her, but she quickly changed the subject to avoid making Yang Tu feel awkward.
Lin Luoxi wasn't illiterate; she just thought that if a poor, destitute village girl like herself suddenly became literate, it would definitely arouse suspicion from outsiders.
"Oh, that was my oversight." When Doctor Yang saw Lin Ruoxi looking at him with a troubled expression, he slapped his forehead, realizing how he had forgotten such an important matter.
Lin Dayou's family was extremely poor; the boys in the family didn't have the opportunity to go to school, let alone the girls.
"In that case, I'll teach you to read and write, and at the same time, I'll teach you to identify herbs." Isn't that the perfect excuse to freeload a meal?
"Great! I knew Master was the best."
“Master, teaching one person is the same as teaching two. My older brother will be going to a private school in the second half of the year. Could you teach him as well, as a way to help him with his early education?”
“Master, don’t worry, we are all very smart and can remember everything we see.”
This was exactly the result Lin Luoxiu wanted. After Doctor Yang spoke, he immediately seized the opportunity and shamelessly made his demands.
"It's possible, but if I teach you, it will take up your meal time..." Doctor Yang had no objection to Lin Luoxi's shameless request.
After all, before he retired to his hometown, he had taught countless students; these two or three were no problem. What he cared about most was food…
"Don't worry, Master. As long as you agree, we'll provide all three meals a day. Not only that, but every meal will include chicken, duck, fish, and meat..."
"Not to mention food, I'll also take care of Master's old age and funeral arrangements."
Seeing that Doctor Yang only mentioned food, Lin Luoxi immediately assured him.
He was quite happy when he heard the first half of Lin Luoxi's sentence, but when he heard the second half, Doctor Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"How dare you talk like that? If you're going to take care of my grandfather in his old age and see him off when he dies, what am I supposed to do?" Yang Xiaofeng felt that Lin Luoxi was going to steal his filial piety, so he retorted defiantly.
“You are filial to your grandfather, and I am filial to my master. There is no conflict between us, right, Master?”
“Master, we’re preparing steamed egg custard for breakfast. If you don’t mind, please have some with us.” Lin Luoxi didn’t argue with the fool and looked at Doctor Yang.
"Steamed egg custard? I must try it." Having tasted delicacies from land and sea, Doctor Yang was also eager to try what steamed egg custard made in a rural setting tasted like.
"Master, wait here, I'll cook for you myself." Seeing that Doctor Yang was being so kind, Lin Luoxi happily rolled up her sleeves and rushed into the kitchen.
Fifteen minutes later.
"Sister, this steamed egg custard is so delicious!" Lin Luoning, who had been longing for the steamed egg custard, closed her eyes and enjoyed it.
"Exactly! I never thought that simple eggs could be made into such delicious food. It's amazing!" Yang Xiaofeng, a fellow foodie, gave it a very positive review.
"It's delicious, and it's perfect for an old person like me." Dr. Yang also thought the soft and smooth steamed egg custard suited his taste perfectly, and he couldn't resist finishing a bowl in one go.
"Master, there's more in the pot if you like it." As a chef, what she loves most is seeing diners appreciate her cooking skills.
"Girl, you don't mean you want me to eat my fill now and then not make us lunch, do you?" Doctor Yang opened his eyes and looked at Lin Luoxi seriously.
"Master, do you think I'm the kind of stingy person?" Lin Luoxi was amused and exasperated by Doctor Yang's actions.
"That's good. We've eaten enough. I'll go check on your brother first!" Doctor Yang knew that his actions earlier had damaged his image, so he quickly made an excuse to leave.
Yang Xiaofeng was still a child, and a foodie at that, so he naturally didn't have the same concerns about appearances that adults have.
Hearing Lin Luoxi say that he could have more, he immediately sped up his cooking, got up, and had another bowl for himself.
Seeing Yang Xiaofeng unceremoniously asking for more rice, Lin Luoning also sped up her pace, afraid that Yang Xiaofeng would eat all the food.
Lin Luoxi ate until she was half full, then put down her chopsticks and went into Lin Wentao's room to watch Doctor Yang give Lin Wentao acupuncture.
“Your family is taking good care of your younger brother. I feel that he will wake up soon.”
Dr. Yang looked at Lin Wentao, who was lying on the bed like a living dead man, but his face was rosy and his muscles were relaxed, making him look like a sleepy child.
"Really, thank you, Master." Although Lin Luoxi already knew the news, she was still deeply impressed by Dr. Yang's medical ethics.
