Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

He slept well until the afternoon, and Du Wenxiu helped Cheng Suying with some chores.

Cheng Suying felt a little guilty at first, so she just told her to take a rest.

But it was really boring for her to sit still, and she felt more relaxed after walking back and forth.

After work at noon, more and more people came to the pharmacy.

Some of the women in the workshop had some unspeakable secrets, but they were not too shy about it in front of Cheng Suying.

Some family members have a headache or fever, so they come to see a doctor and get medicine during their break from work, and they are very busy for a while.

Seeing that the mother and daughter were too busy to take care of herself, Du Wenxiu went out to buy some vegetables and started cooking.

When the aroma of food drifted into the house, Cheng Suying hurried over to stop her. Du Wenxiu smiled and said:

"What? I cooked the dishes myself, but you won't let me have a meal at your place? And you come out here to stop me."

Cheng Suying was so anxious that her face turned red: "No, how can I let you do this, put it down quickly..."

Du Wenxiu stepped aside to let her hand go, and said with a smile: "Go and make money with me, don't worry about these trivial matters."

He called the woman who was waiting to see the doctor to take her back. Cheng Suying had no choice but to let her go.

After the meal was ready, there were not as many patients as before. Cheng Suying smiled and said:

"I used to cook something randomly when there were fewer people. Today, thanks to you, I can have a good meal."

Du Wenxiu smiled and joked, "Then you better eat more, so that I won't waste my time in the kitchen making food in such a hot day."

Cheng Suying smiled and said, "Of course."

The young man in the room woke up when he smelled the fragrance of food. He felt extremely hungry, but was too embarrassed to take the initiative to eat, so he waited for someone to call him.

I listened to the chirping outside for a while, but no one came, and the hunger in my stomach became more and more uncomfortable.

The boy got out of bed, but felt weak all over again. He walked out holding on to the wall and the medicine cabinet.

As soon as I reached the outer room, I saw a little girl walking in from the door. She looked at me with big eyes, and there seemed to be some doubt in her eyes.

Then it turned into a surprise: "Oh, you woke up!"

The girl was Cheng Xiaomei. Cheng Suying asked her to wake up the boy to eat. As soon as she entered the door, she saw him walking out, turned around and shouted loudly:

"Mom, give me more rice. He's awake now."

The boy's face flushed red, his stomach felt empty, it was unbearable, so he nodded gently.

After Cheng Xiaomei finished speaking, she came forward to help him.

The young man pursed his lips tightly, said nothing, and let her support him and walk out of the house.

Because there were not many people eating, Du Wenxiu only cooked a few dishes.

I stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts, braised shiitake mushrooms, made sweet and sour pork tenderloin, stir-fried a handful of water spinach, and made an egg soup with loofah.

Even so, Cheng Suying and her daughter still thought the meal was so sumptuous that Du Wenxiu felt upset.

"We earn money to eat delicious food, but you think it's a feast with just a few dishes?"

Sister Cheng stared at the dishes in front of her with her big eyes, swallowed her saliva and said:

"My mother and I usually only eat pickled vegetables with rice. She only steams and cooks vegetables when she is free."

Du Wenxiu caressed Cheng Xiaomei's soft hair lovingly and said, "Go wash your hands and eat more today."

He turned to look at the boy again: "Are you feeling better?"

When the young man heard this, he bowed and said, "I feel much better now. Thank you for saving my life. I will repay you one day."

Du Wenxiu curled his lips and smiled, asking him to wash his hands and eat.

Cheng Xiaomei was so considerate that she fetched some water for him. The boy rolled up his sleeves, put his hands into the cold well water in the basin, and felt refreshed.

Then, a pair of small hands appeared under the water in the basin, and the boy was stunned.

But Cheng Xiaomei also came to wash her hands. After washing in a few strokes, she took a towel and wiped it dry, then casually placed the towel on the edge of the basin.

"Hurry up, the food that Madam Du cooked smells so good, I can't help but eat it first."

Seeing that the young man was also looking at her, Cheng Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and urged him.

Seeing this, the boy quickened his pace to wash his hands, then sat down at the table.

The aroma of the delicious food in front of him only penetrated his nose. The boy's stomach made a slight sound and his face turned red instantly.

Du Wenxiu glanced at him, served the rice and placed it in front of him.

The young man sat still and waited until everyone was seated and raised their chopsticks before he started picking up the food.

Du Wenxiu knew that he had a special status, so she thought he would just eat first without saying anything. Unexpectedly, he was still thinking about them. He was indeed a polite child.

"You little brat, you're eating my father out of house and house." After this meal, Du Wenxiu finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

I originally thought that four dishes would be enough for two adults and two half-grown children, and there might be some left over after the meal, which I could save for the mother and children to eat in the evening.

I didn't expect that after all the four dishes and one soup were finished.

"Madam Du, your cooking is so delicious." Cheng Xiaomei ate with a very satisfied look on her face and looked at Du Wenxiu with starry eyes.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "If you like, come and learn from me when you have time."

"Really?" Cheng Xiaomei's eyes brightened.

Du Wenxiu nodded: "The chef from Zang Yaxuan has been learning cooking at my house recently. If you have time, come and learn with me."

"Yes! Thank you, Madam Du!" Cheng Xiaomei nodded heavily and bowed to Du Wenxiu in a very formal manner.

"Once I learn how to cook, I will cook these delicious meals with mother every day and keep her healthy."

Seeing how sensible she was, Du Wenxiu smiled knowingly and turned to the boy:

"I don't know your name yet."

The young man froze for a moment, and then he said, "Ms. Du, just call me Erlang."

Du Wenxiu nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"If you feel better, let's go home now. I have other things to do in the afternoon and can't stay outside all the time."

The young man obediently stood up and stood aside.

Du Wenxiu chatted with Cheng Suying for a long time, and made an appointment with Cheng Xiaomei to go over every evening to learn cooking, before leaving with the boy.

"How is it? Can we walk?" Du Wenxiu asked the young man, and the young man nodded.

"Erlang, you will live in my house from now on. Take care of your health first." Du Wenxiu said without any intention of asking for his opinion.

The young man called Erlang looked at her silently without raising any objection.

Captain Lu once said that his wife was a very nice person, but as a country woman, she did not know how to entertain guests, which was understandable.

The two returned home. A'luo, who was doing needlework under a tree to cool off, saw Du Wenxiu and hurriedly got up from the bamboo mat.

"I left some food for you, why did you come back just now?" She looked at the young man who was walking slowly behind her, "Who is this?"

Du Wenxiu said, "Don't worry, Auntie. I just came back after having dinner. This is Erlang, a distant relative of Fang Hai. He came here to beg for food, so it's not easy to chase him away. When he recovers from his illness, he can do some odd jobs in our house."

These words explained Erlang's origin clearly, and the young man behind him couldn't help but blush.

Just as she was speaking, Old Yang from the outer courtyard came to report, "Grandma, the master and his wife are already outside the door."
