Geng Xiangdong asked his brother-in-law to sit in the living room.

He Hongli walked into the kitchen, "Do you need my help?"

"Need not."

He Hongmei refused, "Dabao and I will be fine."

He Hongli didn't want to chat with the two men. She took out a chopstick from the chopstick cage hanging by the cupboard and scraped the skin with Li Dong.

Li Dong's hands are very fast. It's almost enough to scrape and tear these fresh little potato eggs.

After washing for a while, rub it again and it will be clean.

He Hongli had just shaved two, and Li Dong had finished all the shaves and took the basin away to the well platform.

He Hongli followed to press the water.

Put the washed potatoes and eggs into the stove pot, add firewood to the fire, simmer for a few times, and then simmer over low heat.

Li Dong turned back to the table to chop vegetables.

After the ribs and potatoes are simmered, take off the pot and stir-fry.

Tiger-skinned green peppers, lettuce and meat slices, braised eggplant, homemade tofu, green pepper and potato slices, these five dishes were quickly stir-fried in a stovetop pot.

Let’s have some hot and sour egg soup and some cucumber.

Seven dishes and one soup, all together.

The square table in the living room was moved to the middle, and seven dishes and one soup filled the table.

He Hongli praised Li Dong's speed to the two men.

Geng Xiangdong joked, "Dabao, you promised me that you would exercise, but it turned out that you were exercising hand speed?"

"I worked out."

Li Dong said without blinking, "I exercised by riding a bicycle. I am thinner than I was more than a month ago."

He Hongmei pulled Li Dong to sit with her and said, "Ignore your Uncle Geng. Only fat people are lucky."

He Hongli disagreed with her eldest sister's words, "It's not good to be too fat. Dabao still needs to lose weight. She needs to lose at least thirty or forty pounds in this way. A little fat is enough."

Just as Li Dong was about to nod, Rao Jianyun answered again, "No, for her height, it would be reasonable to lose at least fifty or sixty pounds."

Li Dong looked at the couple and said, "Do you know how tall and heavy I am?"

The couple said in unison, "1.6 meters, 170 pounds."

Li Dong "..." is indeed a doctor.

She has indeed lost ten pounds recently.

"Okay! Since the doctor said it's time for me to lose weight, I'll do it for half a year."

He Hongmei glared at the second sister and his wife, "Is it easy for Dabao to get so fat? You two shouldn't be allowed to eat."

"No food, no drinking."

Geng Xiangdong picked up the wine glass and raised it to Rao Jianyun, "Come on, let's take one of us sisters."

He Hongli picked up her chopsticks to eat the food, and when she lit the fire, she became greedy.

After finishing one bite of the dish, she stopped using her chopsticks.

Rao Jianyun did the same. He took a sip of wine and hurriedly ate the food, then stopped using his chopsticks.

He Hongmei looked at the second sister and her husband with disgust, "It's like a hungry tiger descending from the mountain."

"Miss."

He Hongli pretended to be aggrieved, "Jianyun and I are not very good at cooking, you know it. Dabao's cooking is more delicious than what you and mother cook."

He Hongmei had no words to reply.

Since she was a child, the second sister was not very good at housework. At most, she would help her light a fire.

Both she and her mother thought it would be fine when they grew up.

Who knew that when I grew up, I would only be able to cook food.

After eating, Li Dong took the aluminum lunch box given by He Hongmei, filled it with food, and left on his bicycle.

When she left, she also took away the cloth bag left at Geng's house, saying that she would go home after finishing her work at the hospital in the afternoon.

After Li Dong left, Geng Xiangdong asked Rao Jianyun what he had discovered.

Rao Jianyun looked at his sister-in-law who was glaring at them and shook his head.

"There is no big discovery. If there is anything wrong, it is that she does not look like a girl living in the countryside."

"Neither humble nor arrogant, with magnanimous eyes. He cares deeply for my eldest sister."

He Hongmei's anger disappeared, "I have said many times that I was the one who pestered Dabao first."

Geng Xiangdong waved to his wife, "That's not what I meant. Dabao is grateful to me and must be sincere to you."

"She is very defensive about people, and she doesn't behave like a country girl who has never seen the world."

"bias!"

He Hongmei glanced at her husband and said to Rao Jianyun, "It's because Dabao mentioned the cumin seasoning that he became suspicious."

"Dabao said he dreamed about it. He didn't believe it, but I did."

"People's dreams are very magical. I once dreamed that your eldest brother-in-law was in an accident. I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. When I asked about it at dawn, I found that he was really injured."

"This kind of thing cannot be explained by science, and you can't say it doesn't exist."

"Sister, you are right."

Rao Jianyun agreed, "If Li Dabao has never left the county or read too many books, then the only explanation is that she has dreamed of magical things."

"The human brain is a very complex human organ, and what we know about it is only a tiny bit."

He Hongli is also dissatisfied with her husband and eldest brother-in-law, "If she is really as knowledgeable as you say, I think she must know that you are doubting her."

"And she will either be fearless and let you continue to doubt her, or she will stay away from my eldest sister and no longer have contact with us."

"She is not short of money. Looking at her figure, she is also willing to spend money on food and drinks. What is she doing near people like you who look at people with a magnifying glass?"

"A woman's heart is very sensitive. She and the eldest sister are so familiar. If the eldest brother-in-law continues to spy on her like this, it will only keep her away."

He Hongli then told the two men about Li Dong's purchase of a bedpan, "...she knows how to use money and things to open a way."

"I guess if it hadn't been for the eldest sister's enthusiastic help over and over again, she wouldn't have come to see her about last night's matter."

"She is not short of money. When the patient enters the hospital, if the director Jianyun doesn't take action, other doctors will."

"That village doctor has superb acupuncture skills, and nothing will happen to that patient in anyone's hands."

"If she comes to see her, she really regards her as someone she can rely on or as a friend."

"She is here with eldest sister, and she is busy as if she were at home. She does not regard herself as an outsider, but you are on guard against her as if she is a spy."

"If it were me, I wouldn't come next time. Would I waste my strength to accept your scrutiny?"

"correct."

He Hongmei stood up suddenly, "When Dabao left just now, he refused to let me see her off."

"I used to walk her to the gate, but just now she just got on the car and left without waiting for me to say anything."

Geng Xiangdong pulled his wife's sleeves and asked her to sit down, "Don't listen to the second sister who said that wind is like rain. Dabao is busy delivering food. She still has our lunch box in her hand, can she not come?"

"Last night, Dabao made it clear to me directly. I said I was curious about her, and she was very honest about it."

"Jianyun and I are just curious about why she is not as timid as ordinary members."

"It is impossible for a person without special experiences to grow to such a state of not panicking when encountering difficulties."

"I'm just curious about her experience. The death of both parents is not enough for her to grow to this point."

"Correct!"

Rao Jianyun also nodded, "You don't need to tell me, brother-in-law, I am also curious. Because the village doctor said..., it can be seen that she has more knowledge and responds faster than the village doctor."

He Hongmei then sat down, "I don't care about your curiosity. If Dabao doesn't come, I will only ask you."

He Hongli concluded, "She is definitely not a spy. Spies blend in with the ordinary and will not show special independence."

Geng Xiangdong reiterated, "I said I was just curious, and I really didn't regard her as a spy."
