Grandma Dong cooked several dishes, picking all kinds of vegetables grown in the yard to cook. She also cooked all the pork and pork elbows that Pei Yan brought back from the city.
After all this trouble, you must be starving.
The Pei family courtyard is particularly lively tonight.
The food cooked by Grandma Dong completely conquered the seven men.
Wu Erbai was a lively person. "Auntie, this isn't just a home-cooked meal, it's like a delicacy from the land and the sea. It's so delicious!"
The others nodded while eating, expressing their agreement!
I haven't had a good meal in a few days, and it's so delicious when I actually have a decent meal.
"Haha, then you should eat more. My cooking skills are pretty good." Grandma Dong couldn't stop smiling.
Grandma Dong steams white rice and cooks delicious dishes.
The men had big appetites and were too embarrassed to ask for more rice after finishing a bowl. It was Grandma Dong who was busy and would add rice to the bowls that were almost finished.
Even Lei Fan couldn't help himself and ate too much.
Only after everyone was really full did Grandma Dong stop.
Xu Zhiyi and Pei Yan had finished their meal long ago, and they sat there watching these people being asked by Grandma Dong to add more rice. They all ate with relish, which was quite interesting.
Someone had just finished half a bowl of food, and while he was picking up the dishes, Grandma Dong added a spoonful of rice.
In the afternoon, several people were very fierce when confronting the enemy with guns, but in the evening, they were made to feel shy and embarrassed by Grandma Dong's enthusiasm. The contrast was quite big.
The more Xu Zhiyi read, the more interesting it became.
When Pei Yan saw Xu Zhiyi staring at those people with a smile on her face, he felt like he had eaten a sour orange.
Even if she was sulking, she wouldn't notice.
Pei Yan didn't want Xu Zhiyi to see them, so he reached under the table, grabbed Xu Zhiyi's hand on his leg, and squeezed it.
Xu Zhiyi turned to look at Pei Yan, passed through Pei Yan's fingers, and interlocked theirs.
"What's wrong?" He looked very calm.
Pei Yan, on the other hand, instantly lost all his anger. It was just a matter of holding hands, so he just went along with it.
After the meal, before the host could take any action, Wu Erbai and his companions quickly cleaned up the dishes, washed the pots and dishes, and cleaned the kitchen. They did a very good job.
Grandma Dong sat with them in the yard to help them digest their food and listened to Grandpa Gao chatting with Lei Fan.
Xu Zhiyi and Pei Yan went to help clean up the room. Pei Yan originally had three rooms for sleeping. Later, when Xu Zhiyi and then Grandpa Gao came, he renovated the other two rooms and turned them into bedrooms.
The bed in the room is quite big and can accommodate everyone if you squeeze in. If someone can't fit in, they can sleep on the floor.
It was late at night, Pei Yan sent Xu Zhiyi back, and after Lei Fan and the others were settled, they went to rest.
As for the poisonous snake, when it woke up, I gave it some water to drink and then let it starve.
It's dawn.
Lei Fan suddenly opened his eyes, woke up the next second and immediately got up to look for the poisonous snake.
He didn't expect that he slept so deeply that he slept all night long until dawn.
He has never acted like this before whenever he was on a mission. How could he have let his guard down last night?
When he looked down at the ground, the bound poisonous snake was nowhere to be seen, and even Wu Erbai, who had slept with him last night, was gone.
Lei Fan was startled and immediately opened the door and went out.
Outside the house, Wu Erbai and his companions were in the yard, and lying on the ground was a poisonous snake.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Captain, you're awake. This is the medicine Comrade Xu sent. Let me change it for you first." Wu Erbai ran towards Lei Fan.
"Yeah." Lei Fan nodded.
Wu Erbai untied the gauze and found that the captain's wound had begun to scar!
"Huh!" Wu Erbai looked at the wound in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Lei Fan saw Wu Erbai looking at the wound and hesitating to take any action.
"Captain, your wound is healing so quickly. It's already starting to scar."
Lei Fan looked down and saw that it was indeed the case.
The only thing Lei Fan could think of was the medicine Xu Zhiyi gave him.
Wu Erbai was not stupid and he understood it quickly. It was just that the effect of the medicine was too fast.
"Captain, no wonder Comrade Xu told you to rest for a night before leaving. He knew your injury would heal."
"Well, let's pack it up first. We can't waste any more time, we have to take the person back quickly." Lei Fan suppressed his thoughts and completed the primary task first.
Wu Erbai re-bandaged Lei Fan's wound. After they all rested together, they politely declined Grandma Dong's repeated requests and said goodbye.
"Uncle Gao, I will come to see you when I have time to return to Beijing." Lei Fan no longer looked like a wounded man.
"Okay. Pay more attention to safety." Grandpa Gao nodded.
"Auntie, please don't see me off. Thank you for your hospitality."
"How can we not eat breakfast? Come, take the eggs with us and eat them on the road." He stuffed two eggs into everyone's pocket.
Unable to refuse, Lei Fan accepted it, and the others accepted it as well.
Pei Yan saw them heading towards the next door, so he followed them.
"Comrade Xu, are you at home?" Wu Erbai knocked on the door and shouted.
Xu Zhiyi opened the door.
"Comrade Xu, our captain said he wanted to come and say goodbye to you." Wu Erbai touched his head, feeling inexplicably silly.
Lei Fan couldn't bear to watch this.
"Comrade Xu, do you have any medicine that can make people sleep for a long time?"
Xu Zhiyi saw the situation, looked at the person they were holding behind them, and nodded, "Come with me."
Xu Zhiyi turned around and went in. Lei Fan hesitated for a moment and followed him in.
Pei Yan would not let them be alone together, so he strode in.
"Wait a moment."
Xu Zhiyi entered the pharmacy and fiddled around inside for a while.
"This bottle contains a sleeping pill. Once you drink it, you will be unconscious. If you wake up in the middle of the night, just let him drink again." Xu Zhiyi handed him the bottle.
"I don't have much medicine, but here are two bottles of wound medicine. I'll give them to you as well."
Xu Zhiyi handed the medicine to him. Lei Fan hesitated for a moment, but still took it.
"If you need any help in Beijing in the future, just call this number." Lei Fan took the note that he had prepared long ago.
Xu Zhiyi took it and said, "Okay. Have a safe trip."
"Thank you very much."
Lei Fan took his men away. Pei Yan, who had been standing silently beside her, stared at the note in her hand.
"What's wrong?" Xu Zhiyi raised the note.
"Why did you take it?"
"Keep it. Maybe we'll really need his help when we go to Beijing in the future." Xu Zhiyi walked in front of Pei Yan and reached out to hold Pei Yan's hand.
"How about you keep it for me?" Xu Zhiyi shook Pei Yan's arm.
"Let's... go to Beijing together?" Pei Yan was still confirming Xu Zhiyi's previous sentence.
"Yes, let's go together. What? Don't you want to?" Xu Zhiyi pretended to be angry.
"No! I do." Pei Yan said in a hoarse voice.
The young people's promise is firm and serious.
