The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Once the idea came into her mind, Xu Jing immediately took action, looking forward to completing this masterpiece as soon as possible so that she could meet her beloved Xie Tianyi as soon as possible. Her eagerness made her work with great enthusiasm.

As for Chen Xi, after seeing off the neighbors, he returned to the room and found Xie Tianyi standing beside him leisurely, with his arms folded across his chest, as if waiting for him.

"Why are you here?" Chen Xi was surprised, but also felt a little curious.

"The world outside was in turmoil, the chaos was like a rolling sea of ​​clouds, making people feel uneasy. Out of curiosity, I stuck my head out to take a look, and happened to see the two of you in a tense confrontation. I wanted to lend a hand and add a little fuel to the tense situation, but who would have thought that you had easily reversed the situation with your wisdom and courage. I could only stand aside and become a silent spectator of this wonderful show."

Xie Tianyi had a relaxed smile on his face, and in a half-joking tone, he recounted what had just happened.

"Just based on such a small matter, you still want to embarrass me? I have many tricks up my sleeve to deal with those two guys." Chen Xi responded confidently.

"They came to your house, could it be that you helped Xiaoyang and Xiaochen and punished Chen Dabao, who always likes to stir up trouble?" A hint of understanding flashed in Xie Tianyi's eyes.

Chen Xi yawned pretending to be sleepy, as if last night's sleep had been disturbed by this sudden storm. With lazy but elegant steps, he slowly walked into the house, "Well, I knew they would come, but I didn't expect them to come so quickly, not even letting me sleep peacefully."

Xie Tianyi followed closely behind, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, "Chen Xi, there is something I need to discuss with you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi suddenly turned around, his eyes full of inquiry, "Oh? What's the matter? Just tell me."

"It's like this. My good brother who runs a private school with me in the capital heard that I have started a family and a career. On a whim, he wanted to stay with us for a few days. I estimate that he will arrive tomorrow."

"That's a good thing. It's always pleasant to meet friends. I'll go clean up the guest room so that he can have a comfortable place to stay. I have to go to town to practice medicine tomorrow. Why don't we go together in the morning and you can buy some fresh meat and vegetables on the way. After I finish my consultation, we can go home together."

"That's exactly what I want. I was worried that you would find it troublesome." Xie Tianyi looked at Chen Xi with a smile, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Of course not. We are all family, so your friends are naturally our friends. Besides, our home hasn't been so lively for a long time, and having guests here just adds some liveliness to it."

Chen Xi's generosity and easy-going nature made Xie Tianyi feel warm in his heart. All his previous concerns seemed unnecessary and ridiculous at this moment.

As they were talking, Xiaoyang and Xiaochen came home happily after school, and Chen Rong followed behind them, her face full of the youthful energy. "Sister, I saw Chen Dabao with a bruised face today. I don't know who gave him a beating. It was really refreshing to see him, and it also gave us some relief."

After hearing this, Chen Xi couldn't help but chuckle, with a cunning light flashing in his eyes, "Of course it was me who did it. This guy bullied you and Xiaoyang and Xiaochen time and time again, I am not a vegetarian."

"Did you really do it, sister? Aren't you afraid that grandma and aunt will cause trouble for you? They will definitely not let it go after Chen Dabao was taught a lesson like this by you." Chen Rong's face was full of worry.

"They have been here before, but they came in a threatening manner and left in disgrace." Chen Xi said lightly.

"They just came here and left without doing anything? This is not their style." Chen Rong was confused, his eyes fixed on his sister.

"I scolded them all and they ran away. I told everyone all the grievances that my sister and I had suffered in the Chen family, and asked the neighbors to judge. They knew they were wrong and were afraid of being pointed at, so they left in a hurry."

After hearing this, Chen Rong couldn't help but give Chen Xi a thumbs up and praised her repeatedly: "Sister, you did a great job. We can finally let out a sigh of relief this time."

"Okay, go study now. I should go cook. I'm sure you're starving."

Chen Xi said as he walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing this, Xie Tianyi quickly rolled up his sleeves, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said softly: "How about I help you prepare dinner together?"

In the warm little world of the kitchen, Chen Xi carefully examined each ingredient.

In the end, she decided to use these ingredients to cook two homely delicacies: a stir-fried shredded pork and a bowl of loofah and egg soup.

She picked up a sharp kitchen knife and skillfully cut the tender pumpkin that Mrs. Xiong from her neighbor's house had specially sent her that morning.

As for those loofahs, they were freshly picked directly from the small vegetable garden behind the house. There were still a few drops of crystal dew hanging on them, and the greenness was so soothing.

The eggs are freshly contributed by the hens at home, and the eggshells still have the scent of soil. Such a meal is fresh and economical, and makes people feel full of satisfaction and happiness.

On the dining table, under dim light, the family sits around it, laughing and talking, enjoying this simple yet warm dinner time.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xi had just put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and was about to stand up when Xie Tianyi asked with a smile in his eyes, half-jokingly: "Could it be that mother and daughter coming again?"

"Who knows? You'll know the answer once you open the door." Chen Xi smiled gently, stood up and walked towards the door, with a hint of impatience and curiosity in his steps.

Coming to the door, Chen Xi frowned slightly and opened the door with some displeasure.

"I say, why are you knocking? It's like a ghost is still around."

Although there was a hint of complaint in his words, when the door was fully opened and the person who came into view was not the expected Zhou Xuemei and Old Lady Chen, but Xu Jing with a slightly embarrassed expression, Chen Xi could not help but freeze in place.

Xu Jing was holding an exquisite bamboo basket in her hand. When she saw Chen Xi, a trace of panic flashed across her face. Then she forced herself to be calm and asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Excuse me, is Xie Tianyi at home? I want to talk to him about something."

Although Chen Xi's heart was in turmoil, he remained calm on the surface and decided not to give Xu Jing the opportunity to directly contact Xie Tianyi.

"He's busy in the kitchen. If you have anything to say, just tell me and I'll pass it on for you."

Hearing this, Xu Jing looked even more embarrassed, obviously realizing that it might be difficult to talk to Xie Tianyi directly today.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally compromised and slowly handed the basket in her hand to Chen Xi.

"This is a snack I made myself, and I wanted to give it to you to try."

As soon as she said this, she seemed to realize that something was wrong and quickly changed her words, trying to conceal her overly obvious intentions.
