Traveling into the era: I messed with Dr. Xie and got turned on

After much urging from a group of children, the snails were finally ready. As soon as an enamel basin of snails was brought out, a group of children gathered around and stared at the snails in the basin that were emitting a fragrant aroma.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you how to eat it first." Tang Man took out the bamboo sticks that she had peeled in the morning, picked up the snail, and picked out the snail meat. "Here! Look carefully, the only part of the snail that can be eaten is the front part. The back part is the snail's intestines, which cannot be eaten."

Several children, full of curiosity and anticipation, reached out to take the snails, imitating Tang Man's movements, picking out the snail meat with bamboo sticks, and couldn't wait to put it into their mouths to chew.

In an instant, their eyes widened, as if they were shocked by an indescribable wonderful taste.

"good to eat!"

"It's so delicious!" the little guy exclaimed, excitedly grabbed the snails, picked them out with a bamboo stick, and couldn't wait to put them into his mouth.

Seeing that the children had learned it, Tang Man smiled and said, "Okay, bring your bowls over, I'll help you put the snails in them."

She gave each child a large bowl of snails and a few bamboo sticks. After the children took their bowls to Tang Man to thank her, they went away playing and laughing.

Tang Ling picked up a snail, took out the meat and started eating it. He nodded with satisfaction while eating, "It's really delicious. This thing is absolutely comfortable to eat with wine. I'll go call Secretary Zhou, Li Dong and others over, as a thank you for helping us move the luggage the other day."

Tang Man smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I should thank him indeed."

"It's just right. It's almost time to get off work. I'll go call some people and ask Aunt Zhou to come over to eat with us."

After Tang Ling left, Tang Man sat at the table, picked up a bamboo stick, and began to pick snails. After she had picked out half a bowl, Tang Ling finally invited everyone who should be invited.

A group of people walked into the main room chatting and laughing. After greeting each other, they all sat down around the table and started eating.

Xie Yan had an injury on his hand and needed to avoid certain foods, so Tang Ling cooked him a special dish of twice-cooked pork and potatoes, as well as a big bowl of chicken soup from yesterday.

Tang Man placed a small bowl of snail meat in front of Xie Yan and said, "Just try these. You have an injury on your hand, so don't eat too much."

"Okay." Xie Yan responded, picked up the snail meat and put it into his mouth to chew slowly.

Several people looked at Xie Yan with envy.

Zhou Yonglin laughed and said, "Everyone has seen it clearly! In the future, when you look for a wife, you have to look for one like Tang Zhiqing. I don't say how beautiful she is, but at least I have to find someone like Tang Zhiqing who knows how to care for me."

Others echoed and expressed their agreement.

Xie Yan smiled and nodded, "Yes! My wife is really good to me."

"..." Tang Man glanced at Xie Yan and said nothing. She didn't feel like she had ever been nice to him, and most of the time he was the one taking care of her.

This meal was very enjoyable, as expected...

A large group of people at the table got drunk again.

Fortunately, everyone was still sober this time and walked with each other's support. Tang Ling was also sober this time. He went to the bathroom to take a shower, staggered into the house, and fell asleep.

Aunt Zhou stayed to help Tang Man and Xie Yan clean the table and washed the dishes before leaving. When she left, she looked embarrassed and kept saying that Zhou Yonglin and the others were too rude.

After taking a shower, Xie Yan returned to the room. Tang Man was sitting cross-legged on the bed, fanning herself and reading a book. He took out a cloth bag from a porcelain jar next to the wardrobe, walked to the bed and handed it to Tang Man.

"What is this?" Tang Man raised his head and looked at the other person in confusion, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Tonight, Xie Yan was wearing the vest that Tang Man bought from the commune yesterday. Normally, this person would wear long sleeves and long pants even when sleeping at night. It was only today that she realized that not only was his face white, but his skin was even whiter, so white that it was eye-catching.

However, the arms that were exposed were strong and powerful, with clear muscle lines...

His arms are so strong, he must have abdominal muscles!

Tang Man's eyes swept over Xie Yan. What should she do? She wanted to pull open his clothes to see if he had abdominal muscles. But if she really did that, he would probably call her a hooligan.

Perhaps it was because the candles in the room were not very bright, and Xie Yan was a little nervous as it was his first time to hand over the financial power, and Tang Man was reluctant to take the cloth bag. He was very uneasy, so he did not notice Tang Man's eyes at this time.

He stuffed the cloth bag into Tang Man's hand.

"This is the money I have saved over the past two years. I should have given it to you for safekeeping a long time ago. I didn't give it to you because you hardly go out and have no place to spend the money. Besides, I have to go to the commune every day and can buy vegetables along with it."

Ugh! Beauty is misleading!

"Cough!" Tang Man coughed dryly, lowered his head, and pushed out all the inappropriate emotions that he had just had from his brain. Then he untied the rope tied to the cloth bag and opened the bag. Inside was a thick stack of money neatly placed.

These banknotes are in both small and large amounts, with different denominations. Some are brand new, some are slightly old, and some have worn edges. It can be seen that this money was not obtained all at once, but was accumulated over a period of time.

"Here is a total of 400 yuan. In addition, Secretary Liu recently introduced several patients to me. Secretary Liu and these patients did not give me the consultation fees. I told them that I would give them money after their conditions improved. The total amount for several people is about 300 yuan. So my family is not short of money. We will buy whatever you want to eat in the future."

Xie Yan's words were so sincere that he almost said, "I can support you, so you don't have to go out to find food all the time."

He had wanted to tell Tang Man these words when he saw her catching snails last night, but he swallowed them back several times when the words came to his lips.

It's not that he was reluctant to give her the money, he was afraid that she would not want to use his money.

However, this was just Xie Yan's idea. Tang Man didn't think there was anything wrong with her using Xie Yan's money. She rewrapped the cloth bag and handed it to Xie Yan. "Okay, you should leave the money where it was before. I'll take it myself when I need it."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Xie Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, took the cloth bag and continued, "Then, can you tell your parents not to send you money anymore? I think we are already married, and I should take care of your life from now on. I can't let your parents support you anymore. Your eldest brother hasn't married yet, and they still need to save some money for him to get married. We should reduce some of their burden."

"I'll tell them." Tang Man had actually told Tang Jianguo not to send her money anymore during the last phone call. She didn't know what the people here were like, but as an adult, and a married woman, she couldn't have the audacity to let her parents support her.

She had already thought about her future path. Qingshan Commune was too poor, and it was not yet fully open, so it would be difficult to make money. She thought that she still had about 700 yuan on her, which could last for one or two years if she was frugal. She would then find a way to make money after getting the admission letter and returning to Beijing.

According to the history she knows, things will gradually open up in 1978, which is next year. Then there will be no restrictions on being an individual business owner or doing anything else, and it will be easier to make money.
