Chongxi's little husband is very "soft and cute"
Chapter 010
During this trip today, Lu Yunchen has almost explored the situation in Yong'an Town. Although Sishui Street is the most prosperous, the food is very poor. Along the way, except for a few decent restaurants and a pastry shop, they are full of money. As far as I can tell, there are only two soup noodle restaurants and steamed bun shops left.
Thinking about his background as a food blogger in his previous life, Lu Yunchen began to think about his old profession. Judging from the simple potato shredded cakes and pimple soup a few days ago, it is easy to do something delicious if he wants to cook.
It's just that the job of copying books has already been resigned, and he doesn't think about taking the exam. If he can set up a food stall in this town, it will not be an easy task.
In the final analysis, it is still shy.
How to earn the first pot of gold has become the most troublesome thing for Lu Yunchen.
Qin Muyan also looked preoccupied. He thought that when he left the Lu family, he could come to the town to do some odd jobs, but this morning, only a few shops with low wages recruited young men. It is not too much to want to make a lot of money. It's possible, even the boatmen who carry the wharf only need strong and strong men.
The two returned home with their own thoughts.
Lu Lishi came out to greet her, and it was at this time that she could see a bit of joy from her bitter and bitter face.
"Yun Chen, the boss has paid you a lot of money this time, come on...Give it to Auntie, Auntie will save it for you..." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu Li glanced at the piece of paper in Lu Yunchen's hand. Hanging the pork and screaming, "You prodigal son, you can't open the pot at home, and you dare to buy meat back!"
Lu Yunchen stood still at the gate of the courtyard, "Second Aunt, what are you calling, I have seen that there has been no meat on the table for a long time, I took advantage of the wages paid today, bought some pork, and made a tooth-beating sacrifice."
"Then...the rest of the wages..." Lu Li looked straight at the hanging pork, and forced a smile.
"Second Aunt is really joking. Now that I have a family, how can I give the monthly money to Second Aunt?" Lu Yunchen said calmly, "But don't worry, I will give it to you if you gave it before. I, the National People's Congress Du, I understand your hard work in managing the family for many years, so I don’t want my second aunt to come back again, but from now on, my monthly money will only be handed over to Ah Yan.”
Lu Lishi half opened his mouth, in disbelief.
"Yun Chen, Ah Yan, you are back..." Lu Changming pushed the old lady Lu with a cart, and when he entered the door, he saw three people standing in the courtyard, talking about something.
"Oh, mother, look, our Yunchen has really grown up, this marriage, why is he separated from his uncle and aunt?" Lu Lishi forced a smile and said to the old lady.
"Grandma, Second Aunt may have misunderstood me." Lu Yunchen explained eloquently, "Yunchen only thinks that he has already married, so he should hand over his entire family to Ah Yan to take care of."
"It should be so..." Mrs. Lu agreed.
Lu Lishi winked at Lu Er Er, motioning for him to say a few words.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changming followed the old lady Lu's words, "Mother is right, Yunchen has a small family, and we elders shouldn't meddle in it anymore. It's still the young couple's own life." .”
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for your understanding." Lu Yunchen immediately saluted, not giving Lu Lishi a moment to rebut.
"Grandma, Ah Yan and I cut some pork back from the town today to improve your food. You can rest for a while and invite you out for dinner when the food is ready."
"Hey... good." Mrs. Lu was very pleased, and lamented that her grandson was becoming more and more filial.
The money flew away, and Lu Lishi was so angry that the smile on her face disappeared completely. With a gloomy face, she pushed Qin Muyan who was standing in the way, and went straight into the house, followed by Lu Changming.
Qin Muyan clutched the money in his sleeve tightly, as if pinching a hot potato, he actually meant it like that, wouldn't he be afraid that he would run away with the money?
"What are you doing in a daze, come help me and make braised pork for you." Lu Yunchen, who successfully won the first battle and regained financial power, looked happy, and shook the pork in front of Qin Muyan, interrupting his wandering thoughts .
The two entered the blister house.
Qin Muyan lit the fire first, and then sat on the side to control the heat. Lu Yunchen scooped out a half-full pot of cold water from the water tank, cut strips of pork belly into thick pieces, and threw them into the cold pot.
Skimming off the foam on the surface, he fished out the pink and white pieces of meat, put them back into the pot, stir-fried them until they were browned, and added seasonings.
After simmering on low heat for more than half an hour, Lu Yunchen lifted the lid of the pot, and white smoke rose up.
A dense brown-red sauce coats every piece of meat.
He left the shallots green, chopped them, and garnished them on the braised pork.
The work in the blister house is in full swing, but the bedroom in the east house is as cold as a cellar.
"What did you mean just now..." Lu Lishi angrily threw the dustpan onto the kang, spilling red and green thread all over the bed.
Lu Changming wanted to lie down on the kang, but when he saw this, he turned around and took out the cigarette stick, squatted on the threshold, and started smoking.
"What do you mean? You still can't see what attitude our mother has?"
"This old woman knows how to protect her precious grandson all day long. What's wrong with Yunxuan, he's not much better than that sick child..." Lu Li became more dissatisfied, sitting leaning in front of the kang, and said angrily.
"What nonsense are you talking about here again? When did mother ever get biased? When did the kid's things leave us behind?" Lu Changming said impatiently. The girl kept nagging about things that were bigger than sesame and mung beans.
Lu Lishi choked for a moment, and his face became even more ugly.
"Then what do you say? I don't even hand in the monthly money. Is it possible that we really want to support him as a young couple? I'm ugly. I don't have that much money. Xun'er needs money to manage the talents." Woolen cloth."
Lu Changming stopped talking, and swallowed his head sullenly.
"If you smoke it, I know that smoking your broken cigarette will cost your family money. I don't know what I have, but I'm still doing it here..." Lu Li was furious, and took the cigarette away. The pole fell to the ground, and he sat on the kang and sulked.
Lu Changming was so humiliated by Lu Li's scolding, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.
a long time,
Lu Lishi lowered his voice and said carefully.
"Tell me, this kid has been married for a few days. Shouldn't the matter of family separation be put on the agenda?"
"What are you thinking, the old lady doesn't speak, who dares to mention the separation of the family." Lu Changming sneered, waved his hand, breaking her fantasy.
"Hey..." Mrs. Lu Li was about to say something more, when there was a knock on the door.
"Mom, brother asked me to call you for dinner..."
Once the matter of family separation took root in my heart, it got out of hand.
When they came to the dinner table, Lu Lishi was still absent-mindedly summing up.
Dacheng law stipulates that after a man gets married, he can divide the family as appropriate, divide the family property equally, and establish his own family.
If it wasn't for the fact that the boss of the Lu family and his wife hadn't arrived early, she wouldn't need to provide for the old one at this moment, but also had to support the young one.
Luckily, Lu Yunchen was up to the challenge. When he was 12 years old, he passed the examination as a scholar, and his family property was exempted from taxation. But now his own child is going to be admitted as a scholar. Wouldn't it be better if we could throw out the old ones for these two "beggars"...
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the separation made money. After Lu Lishi swept away the haze just now, his appetite improved.
Lu Yunchen's braised pork, the fat meat is soft and slippery, the lean meat will melt after a long time of stewing, and it will melt in the mouth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
Paired with this pancake soaked in soup, it is addictive.
The old lady felt sorry for her grandson and put down her chopsticks after tasting a few pieces.
Lu Lishi was afraid that his son would suffer, so he desperately put it into his bowl, but Lu Yunxuan ate it without looking up.
Lu Yunchen turned the chopsticks upside down and added a few dollars to Qin Muyan. If he moved too slowly, the plate of braised pork would have to go into the dog's stomach, Lu Yunxuan.
Lu Yunjin had just eaten two yuan, when Lu Lishi gave him a hard look, and he didn't dare to stretch out his hand anymore, holding the pancake, pecking at it bit by bit. No matter how delicious this pancake is, how can it compare to It's solid meat.
After eating a meal, everyone was very anxious. After the meal, Lu Yunchen rubbed his stomach, feeling a little uncomfortable.
He went back to his room to find the two blueprints, weighed them up, informed Qin Muyan, and went out.
"Brother Chen Yan, Brother Chen Yan, are you home?"
Just after dinner, Chen Yan was lying on the kang to tease his children, when there was a knock on the door of "Bang Bang Bang" outside the courtyard.
Who, it's already this hour, and someone is still coming to the door.
Chen Yanjin pulled his shoes and came out of the house.
"Lu...Lu Yunchen?"
"Hey, Brother Chen Yan, it's me..." Lu Yunchen smiled, squinted his eyes, raised his head, and greeted politely.
Chen Yan was even more puzzled, he had never had much contact with this Lu Xiucai, even if he met on the road, he would just nod his head, why did he suddenly come here.
"Brother Chen Yan, I want to buy some farm tools from you." Lu Yunchen briefly explained his reason for coming.
Chen Yan opened the door and welcomed the person in.
"Brother Lu, let's talk in the room, what kind of farm tools do you want?"
Lu Yunchen handed over the drawings.
This... Chen Yan held the blueprint with a look of embarrassment on his face.
"What is this, I've never seen it before..."
"This is a bamboo hustle..." Lu Yunchen explained slowly, pointing to the round bamboo weaving objects on the blueprint.
Chen Yan was even more confused, Zhulong?What is a bamboo husk?
"We usually thresh wheat with a stone pound, which is time-consuming and laborious. This bamboo husker is also a kind of agricultural tool for breaking grains and threshing. You see, put the freshly cut ears of wheat from the feeding port of this husker, and then , grasp the husking hook push handle with your hands, and push the husker at a constant speed, the wheat will flow into the husker along the funnel-shaped feeding port above the husker, and the husker and the teeth of the husker rub against each other to achieve the effect of threshing , the separated poles and brown rice gradually flow into the husking pan from the edge of the husking body, and then flow into the basket placed at the lower opening of the husking pan.”
After Lu Yunchen's explanation, Chen Yan understood the principle. This is a good thing, and it saves a lot of effort compared to the stone pound used at home.
"What about this one?" Chen Yan looked at the second drawing.
"This is the wind valley machine. The brown rice poured out from the hulling pan is mixed with broken husks and shriveled grains. We usually have to pass it through a sieve again. With this wind valley machine, the brown rice is removed from the top Pour it into the hopper, and then turn the handle, the fan blades inside will rotate together, the sieved wheat grains will come out of the big funnel below, the deflated grains go to the small funnel on the side, and the remaining debris , it will leak from the tail." Lu Yunchen explained in great detail.
If it is said that just now, Chen Yan still had doubts and contempt for this sour scholar who could only read, but now after listening to him, he is already full of admiration and shock.
"Brother Lu, how did you come up with these two things? This is really amazing."
Lu Yunchen rubbed his nose, feeling a little guilty, compared to the modern and convenient threshers, rice transplanters, rice mills... this is nothing.
If it wasn't for the background of the times that restricted him, he could have done even more powerful things.
"Brother Chen Yan, what do you think?" No matter how good the words are, they are only talk on paper, and they have to be realized to be real.
Chen Yan didn't go back to Lu Yunchen, he took the drawing in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while.
"Brother Lu, give me some time. I'll show you the finished product in three days."
"Then...Brother Chen Yan, how much does it cost to build these two sets of farm tools? I don't have ready-made wood here, so I have to use your wood. If you make a price, I will pay the deposit first."
Seeing Chen Yan's determined attitude, Lu Yunchen heaved a sigh of relief. The choice of these two agricultural tools is one of practicality, which can greatly reduce manpower and material resources, and the other is simplicity. As long as one understands the principle, any carpenter can find a way. Come two or three.
"Brother Lu, let's not talk about money for now. I, Chen Yan, am not a person who speaks like a lion. We are honest about the selection of materials, including the craftsmanship. You can rest assured about this."
Holding these two blueprints in his hands, Chen Yan's eyes lit up, he refused to accept the deposit, and only agreed on a day to see the finished product.
Lu Yunchen walked down the slope, thanked him, and left.
When I got home, it was late at night, and the bedroom was still lit.
Qin Muyan rested his head on his elbows, sat at the table and kowtowed.
Why are you sleeping here...waiting for yourself?
Seeing the boy's head about to hit the wooden table, Lu Yunchen reached out to support him.
Qin Muyan woke up, eh?When did this person enter the door?
"It's cold at night, go to sleep on the kang."
"it is good...."
Qin Muyan squinted his eyes slightly, and staggered up to the top of the kang. Lu Yunchen picked up the lampshade, blew out the candles, and lay down by the faint moonlight.
"Today's braised pork is really delicious..." A mumbled voice came from next to my ear.
"Huh?" Lu Yunchen tilted his head, the other party's eyes were closed, and there was no movement.
The next day, the sky was very cloudy.
Thick dark clouds blocked the sun, and it seemed as if it was about to fall down, covering the hot sweat on his neck, Lu Yunchen fidgeted and took out a cattail fan from the top of the kang, and fanned it.
Qin Muyan beside him had already pushed the quilt aside, frowning, sleeping very restlessly.
Lu Yunchen turned his fan to the side, and the cool wind came slowly. The young man smoothed his forehead and leaned closer to him greedily.
"Cluck..." The crowing of chickens in the yard sounded on time.
Qin Muyan rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Is it still daylight?"
"It's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain, it's very stuffy..."
As expected, in the middle of the morning, the heavy rain came fiercely.
The people who went to the ground, those who couldn't run in time, were all drowned.
Lu Yunchen and Lu Yunjin didn't care about wearing coir raincoats, and braved the rain to collect the wheat grains that were drying in the yard, and they were also drenched enough.
evening,
Lu Yunchen developed a fever and lay down on the kang, feeling drowsy and unconscious.
"Grandma, Doctor Wang has gone back to his hometown. Auntie said it would take a few days to come back..." Lu Yunjin hurried in to report.
"What should I do..." Mrs. Lu stomped her feet on the spot anxiously. Her poor grandson fell ill no matter what.
Lu Yunchen's face was flushed with fever, and he couldn't wake him up no matter how much he woke up.
Without hesitation, Qin Muyan prepared to take him back to their village to find a doctor in the rain.
The old lady Lu originally wanted Lu's second son to help her. After all, Qin Muyan is a brother. It is not easy to carry a grown man like Lu Yunchen on his back, and walk so many roads. low back pain.
Afraid of delaying the time, Qin Muyan gritted his teeth and carried the person on his back. Fortunately, Lu Yunchen had been ill for many years, and his body was not as strong as an ordinary man. He and Lu Yunjin exchanged each other, with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and rushed to Dr. Li's house before falling asleep. .
At this time, Lu Yunchen was already burning hot all over, muttering nonsense to himself.
Dr. Li had already rested. Seeing this, he hurriedly moved him into the house and put him on the kang. After he cut his pulse, he went to boil medicine in the blister room.
Qin Muyan soaked the veil in cold water, and wiped the body of the man on the kang with a high fever over and over again.
When Lu Yunchen's fever subsided and he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.
When he opened his eyes and found lying in a strange room, he reflexively thought that he had time-traveled again. It was only when he saw clearly that the young man lying in front of the kang was his little husband that he felt relieved.
His throat was as dry as a fire, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
"Brother, you're awake!" Lu Yunjin entered the door with a wooden basin, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Lu Yunchen had opened his eyes.
Hearing the sound, Qin Muyan sat up suddenly, reached out and stroked his forehead, checked his temperature, it was okay...
Lu Yunchen pointed to the teapot on the table, and said dumbly, "Water..."
Lu Yunjin put down the wooden basin and quickly poured a glass of water over.
Qin Muyan helped him sit up.
After drinking a cup of tea to moisten his dry throat, Lu Yunchen looked up at the strange arrangement.
"Where is this? Why am I here?"
"Brother, you had a fever last night. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I walked a lot of mountain roads with you on my back before I found the doctor, who took care of you all night without sleep." Lu Yunjin, the quick talker, said everything come out.
Qin Muyan scratched his head to hide his unease.
Lu Yunchen's heart felt warm for a while. Seeing the other party's lack of energy, he knew that he had been busy all night. He coughed twice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yunjin couldn't figure out why his eldest brother and his sister-in-law were both married, so why were they still so polite to each other? His mother never said thank you when calling his father.
Dr. Li came in with the medicine he had just boiled. Seeing that Lu Yunchen was awake, he stared at him and poured down the crying soup. He cut his pulse again, prescribed a few more medicines, and ordered Qin Muyan to decoct him for drinking every day. people let go.
On the way back, Lu Yunchen looked at the back of the little guy who couldn't stop yawning, and felt that something was different.
The agreed three-day deadline came in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Chen Yan came to the door.
The author has something to say:
Note: The detailed introductions about bamboo hullers and wind valley machines are all taken from Baidu Encyclopedia.
Thinking about his background as a food blogger in his previous life, Lu Yunchen began to think about his old profession. Judging from the simple potato shredded cakes and pimple soup a few days ago, it is easy to do something delicious if he wants to cook.
It's just that the job of copying books has already been resigned, and he doesn't think about taking the exam. If he can set up a food stall in this town, it will not be an easy task.
In the final analysis, it is still shy.
How to earn the first pot of gold has become the most troublesome thing for Lu Yunchen.
Qin Muyan also looked preoccupied. He thought that when he left the Lu family, he could come to the town to do some odd jobs, but this morning, only a few shops with low wages recruited young men. It is not too much to want to make a lot of money. It's possible, even the boatmen who carry the wharf only need strong and strong men.
The two returned home with their own thoughts.
Lu Lishi came out to greet her, and it was at this time that she could see a bit of joy from her bitter and bitter face.
"Yun Chen, the boss has paid you a lot of money this time, come on...Give it to Auntie, Auntie will save it for you..." Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Lu Li glanced at the piece of paper in Lu Yunchen's hand. Hanging the pork and screaming, "You prodigal son, you can't open the pot at home, and you dare to buy meat back!"
Lu Yunchen stood still at the gate of the courtyard, "Second Aunt, what are you calling, I have seen that there has been no meat on the table for a long time, I took advantage of the wages paid today, bought some pork, and made a tooth-beating sacrifice."
"Then...the rest of the wages..." Lu Li looked straight at the hanging pork, and forced a smile.
"Second Aunt is really joking. Now that I have a family, how can I give the monthly money to Second Aunt?" Lu Yunchen said calmly, "But don't worry, I will give it to you if you gave it before.

Lu Lishi half opened his mouth, in disbelief.
"Yun Chen, Ah Yan, you are back..." Lu Changming pushed the old lady Lu with a cart, and when he entered the door, he saw three people standing in the courtyard, talking about something.
"Oh, mother, look, our Yunchen has really grown up, this marriage, why is he separated from his uncle and aunt?" Lu Lishi forced a smile and said to the old lady.
"Grandma, Second Aunt may have misunderstood me." Lu Yunchen explained eloquently, "Yunchen only thinks that he has already married, so he should hand over his entire family to Ah Yan to take care of."
"It should be so..." Mrs. Lu agreed.
Lu Lishi winked at Lu Er Er, motioning for him to say a few words.
Unexpectedly, Lu Changming followed the old lady Lu's words, "Mother is right, Yunchen has a small family, and we elders shouldn't meddle in it anymore. It's still the young couple's own life." .”
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt, for your understanding." Lu Yunchen immediately saluted, not giving Lu Lishi a moment to rebut.
"Grandma, Ah Yan and I cut some pork back from the town today to improve your food. You can rest for a while and invite you out for dinner when the food is ready."
"Hey... good." Mrs. Lu was very pleased, and lamented that her grandson was becoming more and more filial.
The money flew away, and Lu Lishi was so angry that the smile on her face disappeared completely. With a gloomy face, she pushed Qin Muyan who was standing in the way, and went straight into the house, followed by Lu Changming.

"Brother Lu, let's not talk about money for now. I, Chen Yan, am not a person who speaks like a lion. We are honest about the selection of materials, including the craftsmanship. You can rest assured about this."
Holding these two blueprints in his hands, Chen Yan's eyes lit up, he refused to accept the deposit, and only agreed on a day to see the finished product.
Lu Yunchen walked down the slope, thanked him, and left.
When I got home, it was late at night, and the bedroom was still lit.
Qin Muyan rested his head on his elbows, sat at the table and kowtowed.
Why are you sleeping here...waiting for yourself?
Seeing the boy's head about to hit the wooden table, Lu Yunchen reached out to support him.
Qin Muyan woke up, eh?When did this person enter the door?
"It's cold at night, go to sleep on the kang."
"it is good...."
Qin Muyan squinted his eyes slightly, and staggered up to the top of the kang. Lu Yunchen picked up the lampshade, blew out the candles, and lay down by the faint moonlight.
"Today's braised pork is really delicious..." A mumbled voice came from next to my ear.
"Huh?" Lu Yunchen tilted his head, the other party's eyes were closed, and there was no movement.
The next day, the sky was very cloudy.
Thick dark clouds blocked the sun, and it seemed as if it was about to fall down, covering the hot sweat on his neck, Lu Yunchen fidgeted and took out a cattail fan from the top of the kang, and fanned it.
Qin Muyan beside him had already pushed the quilt aside, frowning, sleeping very restlessly.
Lu Yunchen turned his fan to the side, and the cool wind came slowly. The young man smoothed his forehead and leaned closer to him greedily.
"Cluck..." The crowing of chickens in the yard sounded on time.
Qin Muyan rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Is it still daylight?"
"It's cloudy, I'm afraid it's going to rain, it's very stuffy..."
As expected, in the middle of the morning, the heavy rain came fiercely.
The people who went to the ground, those who couldn't run in time, were all drowned.
Lu Yunchen and Lu Yunjin didn't care about wearing coir raincoats, and braved the rain to collect the wheat grains that were drying in the yard, and they were also drenched enough.
evening,
Lu Yunchen developed a fever and lay down on the kang, feeling drowsy and unconscious.
"Grandma, Doctor Wang has gone back to his hometown. Auntie said it would take a few days to come back..." Lu Yunjin hurried in to report.
"What should I do..." Mrs. Lu stomped her feet on the spot anxiously. Her poor grandson fell ill no matter what.
Lu Yunchen's face was flushed with fever, and he couldn't wake him up no matter how much he woke up.
Without hesitation, Qin Muyan prepared to take him back to their village to find a doctor in the rain.
The old lady Lu originally wanted Lu's second son to help her. After all, Qin Muyan is a brother. It is not easy to carry a grown man like Lu Yunchen on his back, and walk so many roads. low back pain.
Afraid of delaying the time, Qin Muyan gritted his teeth and carried the person on his back. Fortunately, Lu Yunchen had been ill for many years, and his body was not as strong as an ordinary man. He and Lu Yunjin exchanged each other, with one deep foot and one shallow foot, and rushed to Dr. Li's house before falling asleep. .
At this time, Lu Yunchen was already burning hot all over, muttering nonsense to himself.
Dr. Li had already rested. Seeing this, he hurriedly moved him into the house and put him on the kang. After he cut his pulse, he went to boil medicine in the blister room.
Qin Muyan soaked the veil in cold water, and wiped the body of the man on the kang with a high fever over and over again.
When Lu Yunchen's fever subsided and he woke up, it was already the morning of the second day.
When he opened his eyes and found lying in a strange room, he reflexively thought that he had time-traveled again. It was only when he saw clearly that the young man lying in front of the kang was his little husband that he felt relieved.
His throat was as dry as a fire, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound.
"Brother, you're awake!" Lu Yunjin entered the door with a wooden basin, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Lu Yunchen had opened his eyes.
Hearing the sound, Qin Muyan sat up suddenly, reached out and stroked his forehead, checked his temperature, it was okay...
Lu Yunchen pointed to the teapot on the table, and said dumbly, "Water..."
Lu Yunjin put down the wooden basin and quickly poured a glass of water over.
Qin Muyan helped him sit up.
After drinking a cup of tea to moisten his dry throat, Lu Yunchen looked up at the strange arrangement.
"Where is this? Why am I here?"
"Brother, you had a fever last night. Thanks to my sister-in-law, I walked a lot of mountain roads with you on my back before I found the doctor, who took care of you all night without sleep." Lu Yunjin, the quick talker, said everything come out.
Qin Muyan scratched his head to hide his unease.
Lu Yunchen's heart felt warm for a while. Seeing the other party's lack of energy, he knew that he had been busy all night. He coughed twice, "Thank you for your hard work."
Lu Yunjin couldn't figure out why his eldest brother and his sister-in-law were both married, so why were they still so polite to each other? His mother never said thank you when calling his father.
Dr. Li came in with the medicine he had just boiled. Seeing that Lu Yunchen was awake, he stared at him and poured down the crying soup. He cut his pulse again, prescribed a few more medicines, and ordered Qin Muyan to decoct him for drinking every day. people let go.
On the way back, Lu Yunchen looked at the back of the little guy who couldn't stop yawning, and felt that something was different.
The agreed three-day deadline came in the blink of an eye. Early in the morning, Chen Yan came to the door.
