She followed him into the house and saw Mr. Tang sitting on the bed, wearing reading glasses, and he seemed to be in better spirits.
Seeing her coming in, Tang Lao said kindly and apologetically: "Xiaoyuan has brought something again. How long can we two old people live? Don't spend so much money."
Ning Yuan frowned: "Grandpa Tang, you can't say that..."
"That's right, old man, if you say that, you are dissatisfied that I am still alive, so I can die now." Granny Xia shouted at Mr. Tang with her eyes wide open while boiling water.
Mr. Tang paused and smiled bitterly: "You're here again, I mean I will drag you down..."
"Fart, you just told me to die. I've seen through you, you're a heartless and unjust old man!" Granny Xia continued to glare at him.
Ning Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, gently pulled off Mr. Tang's sleeves, and said in a low voice: "Shh, just apologize to your wife and accept the punishment."
Mr. Tang pushed up his glasses and said obediently: "Old lady, I was wrong. It's all my fault."
Grandma Xia mumbled and waved the spoon: "That's pretty much it, or else I won't knock you!"
Ning Yuan and Mr. Tang looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Grandma Xia was also using her own way to ease Mr. Tang's guilt towards her.
Ning Yuan saw Grandma Xia trying to boil the eggs with boiling water, and immediately stopped her: "Wait a minute, Grandma, it's better to cook the eggs before adding brown sugar. Otherwise, if you cook them like this, the eggs will be undercooked and it's easy to be infected with Salmonella, which is very dangerous."
Grandma Xia's eyebrows twisted in displeasure: "What's the rustle? I've tried it before, but I didn't see any danger. You stinky girl, stop scaring people."
Mr. Tang was stunned. He pushed up his glasses and looked at Ning Yuan: "Xiaoyuan, how do you know about Salmonella? There is no such term in Chinese medicine classes. Have you ever studied medicine?"
Ning Yuan shook her head: "No, my family lives next to the health center. An aunt of mine works as a doctor there and often takes me in to play. I grew up in the health center."
She could only tell this story again.
Mr. Tang looked her up and down: "Then you still know a lot about hygiene."
Ning Yuan smiled: "I know a little bit, so I said it would be almost the same if Grandma Xia boiled eggs in brown sugar water or scrambled eggs with leeks."
Everyone is poor these days, so brown sugar is a "tonic" for replenishing blood.
"Hey, it's different. There's a big difference between scrambled eggs with leeks and eggs boiled with brown sugar." Grandma Xia suddenly curled her lips in disdain.
Ning Yuan was a little helpless: "What difference can it make?"
This old lady is stubborn and tricky, and difficult to persuade.
Who knows, Granny Xia suddenly turned her head and squinted at the tall figure who walked in at some unknown time——
"Well, what's the difference? Scrambled eggs with leeks are aphrodisiacs and can help your husband and wife live in harmony at night."
Ning Yuan turned her head and met Rong Zhaonan's slender, cold eyes, and immediately began to cough: "Cough cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Of course Rong Zhaonan also heard what the old lady said. Seeing Ning Yuan blushing from coughing, he pushed up the lenses on the bridge of his nose, which was a little funny.
Ning Yuan still dared to look at him, she just lowered her head and patted her chest.
This old lady from the countryside really dares to say anything and speaks without restraint!
Upon seeing this, Mr. Tang could only shake his head helplessly and commanded Grandma Xia: "Aren't you going to boil eggs for me? Why don't you go?"
"I'm your servant, old man!" Granny Xia rolled her eyes, cursed and went to boil eggs.
Ning Yuan looked at Rong Zhaonan awkwardly: "Why are you here too? Are you here to help Grandma Xia?"
Rong Zhaonan suddenly stretched out his hand and handed her an old-fashioned flashlight: "You forgot to take the flashlight when you came here. It will be difficult to walk back at night."
Ning Yuan was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take the flashlight, feeling a little sweet in her heart for some reason.
Since childhood, few people have worried about themselves so openly.
Her nominal parents were so indifferent to her. She always felt that she was not good enough and that's why her parents didn't like her, which fostered her low self-esteem and tolerant character since she was a child.
"Thank you." She bent her eyes and smiled gratefully.
Rong Zhaonan looked at him with big black grape-like eyes, which were as curved as two crescent moons. He lowered his eyes and said, "Yeah."
"We all sleep on the same bed, cover ourselves with the same quilt, and have done everything. How can you two be so polite as neighbors?" Grandma Xia suddenly said something coldly.
Ning Yuan: "...cough cough cough cough."
Rong Zhaonan: "..."
The old lady told the truth.
Mr. Tang interrupted Granny Xia angrily: "Okay, old lady, this little girl is thin-skinned, can you please stop saying a few words."
As he said that, he looked at Ning Yuan and apologized awkwardly: "Xiaoyuan, I'm really sorry, my wife is such an outspoken person."
Ning Yuan laughed dryly: "It's okay, it's okay."
Rong Zhaonan stood up and glanced at the beams: "I see that the straw on the roof is rotten. I'll replace it with a new batch for you."
Ning Yuan also quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this house is collapsed and damp. You will get sick even if you live here. Otherwise, I will ask the party secretary and move to an empty house that is a little better." ?”
She really didn't want to talk about leeks' aphrodisiac anymore.
Rong Zhaonan was inspecting the straw on the roof and glanced at her lightly: "Why, you have recently developed a relationship with the village party secretary, so you can start arranging a house?"
Ning Yuan paused and wrinkled her delicate eyebrows: "I just saw that there is a Tutu Temple in the forest very close by. It is empty. Isn't it better to live there than here?"
During the previous great movement, the statue altar in the Tutu Temple was smashed as four old things. Now it is an empty single room, which was used by the villagers to pile wheat straw.
Rong Zhaonan narrowed his eyes and chuckled: "You are so naive that you are stupid. You don't even know why Mr. Tang and Aunt Xia are staying here, so you start arranging for others."
Ning Yuan's face turned cold: "Why are you talking so weirdly?"
Mr. Tang hurriedly answered the call and smoothed things over: "Xiaoyuan, our status is not good and we came down to be reformed. If we live in an empty temple, the impact will be particularly bad."
Ning Yuan was stunned and asked hesitantly to Mr. Tang: "I really don't know the identities of you and Aunt Xia. Can I ask you about your identities? If I offend you, please forgive me."
She really hadn't asked about it before.
Ning Yuan's politeness made Mr. Tang stunned for a while, and then he shook his head: "It's nothing. You can know our identity just by asking anyone in the village."
He said: "I used to be a teacher, Shou Laojiu. I served as a professor at Fuda in my early years. I also knew some ancestral Chinese medicine and opened a medical clinic."
Ning Yuan was astonished, and in her heart ten thousand grass-mud horses ran past—a professor from Fuda!
She was someone she could never come into contact with in her previous life! Which professor in this era doesn’t have real talent and practical knowledge?
"Then Grandma Xia..." Ning Yuan asked carefully, is Grandma Xia really a famous lady?
Mr. Tang smiled: "She is from this village, and she is a landowner."
Ning Yuan nodded: "No wonder..."
It turns out that the ingredients are really bad, and Grandma Xia is the landowner of the village.
But how on earth could an uneducated landowner from a rural area in the southeast... be with a professor from Shanghai Fu University, a powerful intellectual like that?
Could it be the order of the parents or the words of the matchmaker? Like the marriage between Lu Xun and his illiterate first wife Zhu An?
It seemed that Ning Yuan's doubts were seen.
Mr. Tang continued: "The land in this village and the neighboring villages belongs to her family. After her father's banking business prospered in the provincial capital, he also took her to the provincial capital."
Thinking of the past, Mr. Tang smiled softly with his eyes: "Later, she went to England to study. At the horse racing meeting, I saw the heroic female knight on the horse was her. We wrote letters to each other and started dating."
Ning Yuan: "..."
It turns out that the most uneducated and least educated person in the room is myself, a reborn guy.
