A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

Xia Tian didn't hesitate any longer and went out of the room to make breakfast. Shen Nian didn't look like someone who could cook for himself.

Standing in the yard and looking around, I saw that in addition to the three main rooms, there was a wing room on the east side. According to the local people's building habits, the room on the east side should be the kitchen.

Xia Tian walked straight to the east wing, and it was indeed the kitchen.

I rummaged around in the kitchen and found several grain bags in the grain jar. I opened them one by one and saw white rice, white flour, millet, and cornmeal. The quantity was not much, but it was probably enough to last for five or six days.

The cupboard is filled with kitchen utensils, bowls and chopsticks, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, a few eggs, and a complete range of seasonings.

Thinking of Shen Nian's frail appearance, he probably couldn't digest hard food. So he made some millet porridge for breakfast and baked two egg pancakes. It was delicious and nutritious.

I did it right away. After washing my hands in the summer, I filled the pot with water, lit the firewood, and while waiting for the water to boil, I took some millet, washed it, and put it aside.

I looked around the kitchen but didn't see any greens or green onions. I remembered that I had seen a vegetable garden behind the house, but I wondered if they had any vegetables.

I went out of the room and looked at the vegetable garden. As expected, there were no vegetables planted there. However, there was a small bunch of green onions planted on the edge of the vegetable garden. It was obvious that no one had taken care of it. They grew sparsely. In the summer, I picked a few tender leaves and took them back to the kitchen.

Seeing that the water had boiled, I found a clean empty basin and scooped out a ladle of water. Then I poured the millet into the pot, stirred it with a wooden spoon, covered the pot, and simmered it on low heat.

He took out another porcelain bowl, poured half a bowl of white flour into it, beat in two eggs, added some seasoning and salt, and mixed it into a thin paste with warm water, ready to make omelets.

Suddenly I remembered that I haven't asked Shen Nian if he has any dietary restrictions. What if he does something bad with good intentions? It would be all over.

I hurried out of the kitchen and went to the upper room door, but didn't go in. I asked him directly, "Brother Shen, I'm making breakfast. Is there anything you don't like to eat?"

"No," his voice sounded a little hoarse, probably because he was sleeping.

In the summer, I sprinkled some chopped green onions into the egg batter and mixed it well. I lit the small stove next to me, poured some rapeseed oil into the small iron pan and started making pancakes.

The egg pancakes were ready, and the millet porridge was also prepared. They were poured into a large bowl. A bamboo tray was found, and the bowl and chopsticks were placed on it. The bowl and chopsticks were then carried to the upper room.

When he reached the door, he shouted, "Brother Shen, I'm coming in." Without waiting for Shen Nian's response, he lifted the curtain and went in.

He placed the tray on the table and beckoned Shen Nian to come over for dinner. "Brother Shen, I don't know what you like to eat, so I made some millet porridge and some egg pancakes. Try them and see if they suit your taste."

Shen Nian got down from the kang and sat down at the table. He looked at the bowl and chopsticks that were used by only one person and glanced at Xia Tian. Xia Tian smiled at Shen Nian and said, "I had already eaten when I left this morning."

Shen Nian didn't say anything and started eating silently. Unexpectedly, the food tasted quite good. The millet porridge was thick and soft, and the egg pancake was soft and sweet. The cooking skills were good.

There was not much to cook for breakfast. After watching Shen Nian finish eating slowly, Xia Tian cleaned up the dishes and went out. After cleaning the kitchen, he poured Shen Nian a bowl of cold boiled water and returned to his room.

I got up early today. I was a little sleepy even in the hot summer. I climbed onto the kang, wiped the kang mat with a rag, and spread out the quilt to get ready for a nap. The quilt was new, which made me feel more at ease in the summer.

As soon as he lay down, his hand touched the purse in his arms. He took it out, opened it, poured out the contents of the purse and counted them. There were a total of seventeen copper coins.

Xia Tian felt a little sad. Although Xia Chenshi was unable to protect her own children, she loved her children just the same.

All the money of the Xia family is in the hands of Old Lady Xia. I don’t know how her mother saved these few copper coins.

My parents were like this in my previous life. Although they favored my younger brother a little, they still supported me until I graduated from college.

Although she often found excuses to ask for money after she started working, she still gave her more than 100,000 yuan as a down payment when she bought a house.

He put his purse away again, lay down, and fell asleep in a short while.

He slept deeply and soundly, and when Xiatian woke up it was already past noon.

He quickly got up and touched his rumbling stomach. He guessed that Shen Nian was also very hungry.

I just promised my boss this morning that I would perform well, but I didn't expect to sleep until now.

After going out, I tiptoed to the door of the upper room and listened. I heard a faint cough from inside. I turned around and hurried to the kitchen to cook.

He lit a fire, boiled water, and kneaded the dough, and soon made two bowls of noodles. He put a poached egg in Shen Nian's bowl, sprinkled some chopped green onions on it, and brought it to him on a tray.

"Brother Shen, come and have dinner. You must be hungry. I fell asleep just now and delayed cooking." Xia Tian explained embarrassedly.

"It's okay." Shen Nian put down the book in his hand, looked at the bowl of noodles on the table, and didn't move his chopsticks.

"Mine is in the kitchen, I'll get it." Xia Tian understood immediately, quickly brought in his own bowl, sat on another stool and started eating.

I didn’t expect that although Shen Nian looked cold, he was actually quite warm-hearted, Xia Tian thought happily in his heart.

Shen Nian has lived for twenty years, and eating has never been so simple. Even though he has fallen to this point in the past few months, Mu Yang will still prepare two dishes for every meal.

Thinking of Mu Yang, Shen Nian felt a little depressed. If Mu Yang had not blocked the knife for him at that time, he would have died long ago.

Unfortunately, Mu Yang still didn't make it...

Shen Nian didn't move his chopsticks for a long time. Xia Tian looked up in confusion and found him staring at the bowl. He immediately understood, "I saw that there were not many eggs left, so I cooked one. You are not in good health, so you should eat more nutritious food. I will ask the villagers to buy some more later. It's okay if I don't eat a whole meal."

Shen Nian paused holding the chopsticks, "That's not necessary."

This girl has a good heart, although she always misunderstands.

"I know, I won't treat myself badly. Brother Shen, eat quickly, or the noodles will clump together soon." Xia Tian said, and when he saw Shen Nian started eating, he hurried to eat too.

Although there were no dishes and the noodles were just plain noodles, they tasted good. This was also one of the more comfortable meals Shen Nian had eaten in the past few days after Mu Yang left.

After the two finished their meal, Xia Tian was in no hurry to leave. "Brother Shen, I heard you keep coughing and you haven't taken any medicine. Are you done with your medicine? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Shen Nian's eyes darkened, "No need."

His illness can't be cured!

Xia Tian didn't dare to persuade him any further. After all, it was just the first day they met and they didn't know much about the patient's condition. If he said too much, it would easily make people feel disgusted.

But after all, we are people living together, and Shen Nian is a good person. I hope he lives longer and more comfortably.

When you are in another world, you won’t feel too lonely if you have someone to talk to.

It is already difficult for women to survive in this world, let alone for a single woman, it is even more difficult.

Having someone by your side makes you feel more at ease, even if that person is just like a boss.

"Brother Shen, I think the weather is good today. You should go out for a walk more often, bask in the sun in the yard, and relax. Maybe you will feel better soon." Xia Tian looked at Shen Nian a little nervously.

"Hmm!" After all, my heart is not hard enough, otherwise I wouldn't be like this... Shen Nian frowned and stopped thinking about it. I don't know what's wrong with me recently. I always tend to let my mind wander.

Seeing that Shen Nian agreed, Xia Tian instantly became happy and quickly cleaned up the dishes and left.

Clean the pot, light the fire again to boil water, and when the water boils, fill the teapot in Shen Nian's room. Put the rest in a basin, cover it with a lid, and let it cool before drinking.

Xia Tian moved the table, stools and teapot from Shen Nian's room to an apricot tree near the south wall in the yard, and invited Shen Nian to come out and sit.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian who was busy coming and going, and did not refuse his kindness. He walked out of the room and sat in the yard.

I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and I felt a little dazed when I first came out. The weather in March is not too hot, and sitting under a tree and feeling the breeze is indeed much more comfortable.

Xia Tian saw Shen Nian sitting in the yard, squinting his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

Without disturbing him, she quickly went into the upper room, cleaned it, and took out the clothes that Shen Nian had changed out of to wash.

There is no well in the yard, and I don’t know where to get water.

Just when he was about to ask Shen Nian, he heard someone at the door calling, "Is the Shen family's daughter-in-law here?"
