Chapter 198 Who made him so wicked?
The rain outside fell for a while and then stopped.
It was as dense and light as fine wool, falling into the well and causing ripples.
The air was cool.
In the kitchen, Hui Niang served the noodles and put eggs in them.
Wei Shouzhong used long-nosed pliers to pick out the still burning charcoal in the stove and put it into a covered pottery jar beside him. He
would take it back to the fire basket.
He glanced at his wife: "Look, the smile on your lips has not faded. Are you so happy that Alang and his mother are back?"
"Aren't you happy?"
Hui Niang: "Did you see that Alang's complexion looks much better this time? He didn't even ask for help when he got off the carriage just now."
"These days, they are not at home, and I feel like there is an empty space in my heart. I can't muster the energy to do anything, for fear that something bad will happen to him."
Now, he can finally feel at ease.
The two of them were very tactful and didn't say a word about where the young couple had been these days, or who they had consulted for treatment.
Anyway, Alang was getting better.
Wei Shouzhong stood up and put the two bowls of noodles into the lunch box.
"I'll take them over."
He glanced outside: "Don't let them come over, it's troublesome on a rainy day."
Hui Niang thought it was right: "Okay, I'll make some more ginger soup."
Hu Dalang had been squatting at the entrance of the alley these days. She didn't want to cause trouble, and it was raining, so she didn't go out this morning.
There weren't many vegetables at home.
"We have to go to the butcher shop to see if there is any meat for sale now. "
Hui Niang couldn't sit still when she said this.
"The head of the family, please watch the pot, and let them drink it when it's ready."
She quickly boiled the ginger soup, covered the pot, wiped her hands, and went out
. Who knew that as soon as she stepped out of the door, she saw Zhao Niang next door going out at the same time.
Zhao Niang asked: "Are you going out, elder sister?"
Hui Niang: "Wan Niang and the others are back, I'm going to buy some meat."
"Finally they're back."
Zhao Niang: "My daughter has been talking about Wan Niang these days."
"Old Zhao is thinking about your A Lang, and he always asks about him when he comes back from college. The father and daughter's thoughts are all on the neighbors."
After that, she said.
"It's raining, and the meat stall has been closed for a long time. Even if it's still open, it's all the leftovers from other people's picking and choosing, which is not good."
Zhao Niang: "I have some at home, share some with elder sister."
Hui Niang heard what she said and thought it made sense.
"Then... how can I be so embarrassed?"
"What's the matter?"
Madam Zhao: "To be honest, I just came to ask you, elder sister."
She walked over quickly and said without any nonsense: "There will be a distinguished guest at home tomorrow, and I want you to help me cook a pot of meat."
"He is Mr. Zhao's mentor. At the beginning, Mr. Zhao's family was poor, and he was able to pass the imperial examination with all his money."
Seeing that Mr. Zhao was hungry and full, the master's wife always prepared a meal for Mr. Zhao. When
Mrs. Zhao talked about this, she sighed: "The mentor's life's efforts were spent on teaching and educating people. He taught students who took the imperial examinations and also taught little kids who were just starting out."
"He resigned when he was too old to bear it, and the old man moved away from Ze County without saying a word."
He didn't leave any address at the time.
Mr. Zhao asked around.
It was not easy to get the news, so he went to meet him without stopping.
But when he got there, he found out that the master's wife had passed away three years ago.
The two of them didn't have any children.
"Lao Zhao came back and discussed with me that he wanted to bring my mentor over to take care of me. There was an empty room at home, so how could I not agree?"
"It was my mentor's wife who arranged for me to marry Lao Zhao."
When she said this, her eyes turned red.
It was not good to bring up sad things again.
"My mentor likes this."
Madam Zhao: "But I can't cook it."
"I saw that pork and beef were good when I went out today, so I bought a lot. But I can't finish it. I thought of using half to stew and keeping the other half to see what dish to make tomorrow."
If nothing else worked, Hui Niang was good at stewing meat.
She agreed immediately.

After eating noodles, Yu Tingwan drank ginger soup and soaked her feet.
Her whole body warmed up.
She squinted comfortably.
Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Where's Fu Meng?" They
had obviously gone down the mountain together.
Wei Zhao didn't eat much and felt sleepy at the moment. He said briefly: "I went to work."
He went to trouble He Xuran.
It was not Wei Zhao's order, but Fu Meng who volunteered.
Because last time he bumped into He Xuran, Wei Zhao didn't punish him, but praised him for a good job.
How could Fu Meng not be active?
Wei Zhao didn't stop him.
Who made him so wicked.
Yu Tingwan: "It's quite capable."
"Don't praise it in front of it."
"Why?"
Wei Zhao said faintly: "It has to float."
Yu Tingwan: ...
I can imagine the scene.
Yu Tingwan also planned to take a nap. She
took off her coat, and as soon as she lay down, she was hugged by Wei Zhao.
Men are getting more and more adept at doing this kind of thing. Yu Tingwan didn't think there was anything wrong.
In the past, when Wei Zhao was seriously ill and his body was cold, she always wanted to warm him up.
It's not hot now, but it's not freezing either.
They are an old couple, how can she be shy? She didn't forget to find a comfortable position.
Yu Tingwan closed her eyes and said softly: "The fields at home are empty anyway. Dad said he wants to rent them out. What do you think?"
Wei Zhao covered them tightly with a quilt.
"Father Wei has been a farmer for half his life, and he can't sit still. The time for farming is approaching, and it's inevitable that he will miss the acres of fields at home."
Came to Ze County. Wei Shouzhong is relaxed, but he really has nothing to do.
In the past, he was busy as soon as he opened his eyes. But now he can sweep the fields in the alley outside eight times a day, and he is
so idle that he is running around. He can't stay still.
Thinking that he can't go back to farm, Wei Shouzhong is a little anxious.
He makes a living by farming, and he can't let it go idle.
Wei Zhao: "I'll find someone to take care of the land rental."
An acre of land doesn't cost much to rent a year, and it's not even as expensive as the medicine Wei Zhao drinks. But since Wei Shouzhong mentioned it, it was worth it for his comfort.
Yu Tingwan responded vaguely.
Wei Zhao: "Let's go back and find a farm close to home and buy it. It doesn't have to be too big, you can grow whatever you want."
He has
always been careful. Yu Tingwan was not surprised.
Soon, there was no more talking in the house.
The breathing also became more consistent.
I don't know how long it took, the sky darkened, the rain outside stopped, and Yu Tingwan smelled a faint meaty aroma in a daze. It
was not strong, but familiar and overbearing.
Yu Tingwan sniffed and suddenly got up from the bed.
"I'll go and see."
Wei Zhao: ...
Yu Tingwan went out, followed the smell, went out, and saw that the door next door was open.
Before she walked in, she was pulled by someone.
"Yu Tingwan!"
The girl turned her head, and the person coming was Liu Yan.
Yu Tingwan had just gotten out of bed, and she didn't wipe the dust on her face, so it was white and tender now.
Liu Yan paused and took back her hand: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
"Are you a relative of the Zhao family? I haven't seen you before.
" Yu Tingwan's mind had already drifted to the braised meat: "Oh."
It was irrelevant.
She said in a gentle voice: "If it's okay, then I'll go in."
