Qin Yuanjiu took on the training tasks of the Great Xia Hua Wansui, and he was indeed serious and responsible. After dinner, he would go to the old house to lead the people in training exercises after only a short time to digest his food.
Today, everyone in the village, except for a few, ate meat. So how could the Ke family's sons enjoy this painful yet joyful activity alone? Naturally, they brought their friends along as well.
The once peaceful and tranquil autumn nights of Luofeng Village have been transformed into something strangely vibrant and interesting by a series of loud slogans.
Ke Meiyu studied in the space for another five days and nights.
At first, she found it tedious and couldn't stand it, but when she was able to use what she had learned to help others relieve the pain of illness, she felt a different kind of satisfaction and joy.
When it comes to learning, time really flies when you can fully immerse yourself in it.
She seems to have gotten used to this fulfilling life; relying on anyone else is not as reassuring as relying on her own efforts.
Early in the morning, Ke Meiyu tidied herself up with a single incantation.
Seeing Qin Yuanjiu coming out of the shower and jogging session across the street, she ran over and pulled him outside, saying, "Hurry up, I'm starving..."
Qin Yuanjiu brushed aside her soft, smooth hands, grabbed hers with his other hand, and unceremoniously pinched her cheeks, arms, waist, and stomach. "I really don't know where all the food you ate went."
Ke Meiyu was very ticklish and couldn't help but giggle as she tried to hide, eventually ending up in his arms.
Qin Yuanjiu naturally put his arm around her, his eyes surging with emotion. With great restraint, he only kissed her once before letting go and striding away.
Ke Meiyu felt something was off. Were the two of them being a little too intimate? But she was the one who bumped into him to gain some peace points. She couldn't just let herself take advantage of him while he wasn't allowed to...
She quickly shook her head. No matter what, the two of them had gotten their marriage certificate, so there was no question of one of them being the one who lost out and the other who benefited.
Furthermore, the main villain clearly showed that he had no liking for her and even enjoyed criticizing her on a daily basis.
Therefore, Ke Meiyu felt relieved and jogged to catch up.
The two walked one after the other, and naturally, they were teased by the villagers for quite a while.
One of them remained aloof as if he couldn't hear her, while the other laughed and joked as if he were praising her.
The villagers felt like they were punching cotton.
Ke Meiyu entered the courtyard and rushed into the old lady's house with a howl, "Grandma, Grandma, Grandma, a major discovery!"
The old lady exclaimed, "Baby, you scared Grandma! You were the loudest one this morning!"
"Hey, why didn't you come in complaining of being hungry today? What major discovery did you make?"
Ke's mother couldn't help but peek out and ask with a smile.
Ke Meiyu pulled the two of them aside and whispered, "Yesterday we went home, but we got lost and ended up at Ke Enshu's house. Guess what happened?"
They frowned and shook their heads.
She laughed and vividly recounted yesterday's events with gestures, then said, "I discovered that Ko Eun-sook's mother is pregnant, though she probably doesn't know yet."
The old lady and Ke's mother were both astonished. "She's old enough to be a grandmother, how could she get pregnant? Did the medicine work?"
Then the old lady said angrily, "But second son... ugh, that Ke Qingshu is a real scoundrel. I wouldn't even lay a finger on my precious baby, and he dares to threaten you by hitting you?"
"Grandma, it's all over now. Ninth Brother avenged me. Although his leg wasn't broken, the bruises will torment him for ten days to half a month." Ke Meiyu wasn't angry at all, and even shook her head like a fortune teller:
“I checked out their yard last night, and wow, the feng shui is really bad.”
“There are houses on both sides, but their house is small and faces east. You can see all the way to the back when you open the front door. This is a layout that will bring financial loss.”
"And," she sighed, shaking her head, "it's only been a month or so since I last saw him, but the crow's feet around Ke Enshu's eyes are so thick you could trap a fly. Do you know why that is?"
The two shook their heads blankly, probably because they were short of money. Even that wretched wife who had been pretending for decades was enough to give them trouble.
“In face reading, crow's feet are located at the temples, which are also the marital palace. Men with deep and messy crow's feet are generally those who indulge in excessive sexual activity, crave extramarital affairs, and whose yang energy is excessively depleted.”
"A man with this kind of face is definitely someone who cheats on his wife frequently!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ke's mother realized what was happening and slapped her in embarrassment and annoyance.
"What are you saying, child? Even though we've severed ties with him, he's still an elder. Why are you staring at him like that?"
But the old lady was very open-minded. She waved her hand and said, "What's wrong with that? Our precious baby is all grown up and married. Can't she grumble about it to us?"
"That debt collector is always taciturn and looks honest and simple, but how much work does he actually do, and how many centimeters does he actually earn?"
"Your grandfather and I don't actually have any preference for sons over daughters. It's that troublemaker who likes sons and feels he can't stand up straight without one. If his wife can't give birth to a son, he might actually dare to go outside and have one!"
The three women couldn't help but gossip for a while, but Ke Meiyu's rumbling stomach interrupted them.
Mrs. Ke sighed and rubbed her forehead again. "How much do we need you to eat? We haven't seen you grow taller or gain weight, and we don't see you running around or doing chores. How come you're so hungry every day that you could eat a whole cow?"
"Mom, studying is so mentally taxing," Ke Meiyu chuckled. "What should we eat today?"
“Eat what you don’t like!” Mrs. Ke said irritably.
However, she saw her daughter deep in thought, and after a long while, she blurted out: "Mom, this is really a problem for me. I love to eat everything except poop!"
"Hey, you're not going to do this..."
Grandma Ke was so amused that she held her stomach and laughed.
Before dinner, Ke Meiyu led everyone in learning the Five Animal Frolics again.
To take care of Grandpa Xue and Grandpa Zhao, Madam Ke tried her best to cook dishes that everyone could eat. She couldn't let them eat well while the two old people ate steamed buns and watched them longingly.
Ke's mother asked her daughter about this.
Ke Meiyu also compiled a list of various ingredients suitable for medicinal cuisine, along with many delicious recipes.
In the morning, she ate red date steamed buns, braised eggplant, and Gastrodia elata and pig brain soup to dispel wind and replenish deficiency. There were also six salted duck egg yolks in front of Ke Meiyu, which came from her five older brothers and her husband.
The freshly steamed, soft flower rolls are filled with savory, oily, and tender egg yolks, creating an irresistible aroma that brings pure bliss.
"Grandma, Mom, please help me pickle more salted duck eggs. I want to take them to the provincial capital to eat."
There was nothing wrong with Grandma Ke and her mother.
After the meal, Ke Meiyu took Grandpa Xue, Grandpa Zhao, and Grandpa and Grandma home.
Villagers rarely bathe in autumn and winter. At most, they would boil a bucket of hot water to rinse their bodies and wash their hair. Why would they bother to build a bathtub?
She directed Qin Yuanjiu to keep boiling water, then filled a bathtub with lukewarm water, put in a medicine packet, and let Old Zhao soak in it first.
