The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

The three of them stood quietly at the door, forming a subtle confrontation with Jiang Ziling, with a barely perceptible awkwardness in the air.

Jiang Ziling's eyes were deep, and his usual silence was magnified at this moment, as if even the air was frozen by his silence.

He knew that this trip was due to A Yu's enthusiastic invitation, so he politely poured tea for the guest and whispered to him that Su Yu had not returned yet.

Apart from this simple greeting, he did not say another word. His restraint and calmness made people involuntarily respect him.

Although Xie Qifen and Meng Yuanyou are neighbors from the same village, they are busy with their own things and do not interact much, so they are not very close to each other.

At this moment, they sat there, their hands awkwardly intertwined, occasionally exchanging unnatural glances. It was obvious that this sudden gathering made them feel a little uncomfortable.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, Su Yu pushed the door open and walked in, bringing with him a fresh and natural breath, breaking the original deadlock.

Xie Qifen seemed to have found a savior. She stood up quickly, her concern evident in her words: "Where have you been? We are all a little worried."

Su Yu explained with a smile, her voice a little naughty: "Since we have guests at home tonight, I ran to the river to catch some fish, thinking that fresh fish meat can add some color to our dinner."

After saying that, she gently put down the bamboo basket on her back and took out a few lively fish from it. Their silver scales were sparkling, and they looked particularly attractive in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Xie Qifen and Meng Yuanyou both showed expressions of disbelief, and the former even asked in surprise: "This, you caught all these by yourself?" His tone was full of admiration.

Meng Yuanyou was standing aside, his eyes fixed on the fish in Su Yu's hand, and he secretly sighed in his heart, you know, the fish in the river are slippery and very difficult to catch, but the woman in front of him could actually return with a full load, which was really not easy.

In contrast, Jiang Ziling had a calm expression. He already knew Su Yu's abilities. His agility and precision always amazed him. These fish seemed to have been easily caught by her before they had even had time to struggle.

"Hey, you're such a great fisherman!"

Xie Qifen praised sincerely, with a hint of admiration in her words.

Then, she pulled Su Yu towards the kitchen, pointed at a pile of fresh vegetables that still smelled of soil, and smiled shyly: "We picked these from the field. This is the first time I come to your house for a meal, and I haven't prepared anything good, so I just brought some vegetables here."

She pointed to the sealed small ceramic jar in the corner, the mouth of which was tightly covered with cloth. "And this is our homemade pickled cabbage. Although it is not a rare treasure, it tastes absolutely authentic. You might as well try it."

Su Yu's eyes fell on the inconspicuous little jar that exuded a sour aroma. Even through the tightly closed lid, he could feel the tempting sour taste slowly wafting away and hitting his taste buds.

She couldn't help but licking her lips, imagining the wonderful taste of the sauerkraut, as if in this hot summer day, a bowl of sour and spicy soup could dispel all the stuffiness and fatigue.

"Aunt Wang, thank you so much. It would be great if I could have a bowl of sour soup to quench my thirst in this weather."

Su Yu's laughter was as clear as spring water, full of gratitude.

Seeing this, Xie Qifen's heart was filled with joy and she said, "As long as you don't mind, I can cook it for you often in the future if you like it."

Su Yu waved her hand and said sincerely, "Aunt Wang, you are too polite. How could I dislike it? I am grateful to you. Today, let me use your pickled cabbage to make a special dish, which can be regarded as a display of my cooking skills."

As the words fell, Su Yu rolled up his sleeves, his eyes flashing with eagerness, as if he had already conceived a delicious blueprint.

The originally planned spicy boiled fish was changed to sauerkraut fish because of the appearance of sauerkraut. It not only retains the freshness of the fish meat, but also incorporates the unique flavor of sauerkraut. I think it will definitely be a memorable dish.

"Good idea! You're the chef and I'll help you."

Xie Qifen responded positively. As she spoke, she skillfully started to make a fire and wash vegetables. The kitchen instantly became lively.

As soon as Xiao Xier got home, she couldn't wait to run to the backyard and carefully took care of her group of chicks and ducklings, adding water and feeding them. Every move she made revealed her love and care for these little lives.

These furry little creatures, under Xier's careful care, appear exceptionally lively and healthy, and have become a unique landscape in this small courtyard.

As for Jiang Ziling and Meng Yuanyou, they seemed a little at a loss in the main room. They occasionally exchanged glances, trying to find sparks of conversation in the silence, but in the end they looked at each other in silence. Perhaps, on days like this, quietly enjoying this rare leisure is also a different kind of pleasure.

Meng Yuanyou drank several cups of tea in one breath. The bitterness of the tea seemed unable to calm the anxiety in his heart. Finally, the urge to break the tranquility could no longer be suppressed.

He looked around, his eyes sweeping across every corner of the room one by one, his fingers involuntarily rubbing over his rough knees repeatedly, as if looking for the right words.

After a long while, he finally managed to squeeze out these words: "This, this house is really well-maintained and warm."

Jiang Ziling nodded slightly, with a barely perceptible tenderness and gratitude in his tone: "I have to thank A Yu for this."

When Su Yu's name was mentioned, his eyes couldn't help but soften. Obviously, Su Yu's arrival not only added items to the house, but more importantly, brought an indescribable breath of home.

The inside and outside are clean and tidy, every furnishing is just right, and the air is filled with hope for a new life.

As the topic was interrupted, the air became quiet again and a little awkward.

Meng Yuanyou rubbed his nose uncomfortably, trying to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Ziling took a sip of tea. The aroma of the tea lingered in his mouth, but it seemed unable to dispel the anxiety in his heart.

He wanted to find something to do, but was worried about making the guests feel ignored and was struggling internally.

At this moment, Meng Yuanyou's eyes accidentally fell on the wine jar he brought with him, and a light suddenly flashed in his eyes. An idea came to his mind - wine is often the key to open the conversation, and it may be a good way to ease the current awkward atmosphere.

He placed the wine jar on the table with great enthusiasm, "Brother, this is the medicinal wine I made myself. It is very beneficial to your health. Come on, let's have a drink to warm up the atmosphere."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Yuanyou couldn't wait to grab a coarse porcelain bowl and filled it with wine.
