Zhulan's medicine was ready. She poured it out and served a bowl of rice porridge. She washed the only spoon in the house, had an idea in her mind, and carried the medicine and porridge back to the main room.
Zhulan went in and noticed the shoes on the ground. He got up and went out, probably to the toilet. Thinking of the toilet, Zhulan felt a little nauseous. She had never been to a rural toilet and rarely used a public toilet. In ancient times, feces had to be kept. There was a big pit next to the toilet. It was just after summer and the smell was pungent. She couldn't bear to think about it. It made her even more nauseous.
"woke up?"
It’s a pity that no one responded, and the person on the kang still had his eyes closed.
Zhulan didn't take it to heart. Instead, she became more certain of her guess. She blew slowly on the rice porridge in the bowl until it cooled down. Then she spoke, "I haven't eaten for almost a day. I need to eat something to fill my stomach so that I can drink the medicine."
The eyes on the kang moved, but it didn't say anything and didn't open its eyes, but the sound of its stomach rumbling was too loud.
Zhulan saw her husband's ears were red, and she raised her lips and put the spoon to her husband's mouth, "Drink it when it's cold!"
The person on the kang couldn't pretend anymore, he opened his eyes, pursed his lips and stared at the spoon, then looked at the bowl, Zhulan said lightly: "Rinse it with hot water."
Zhou Shuren's eyes sparkled, and he hummed as he drank the porridge in the spoon, then said, "I'll drink it myself."
Zhulan was relieved as she didn't have to wait on anyone, so she handed the bowl over.
She is in a really good mood now. This person is probably someone who traveled through time with her. As for who he is, he must be the man who cheated her.
She guessed that this person had also guessed that she was not the original owner, and that she must have been exposed when she was happily humming a song. Instead, she felt relieved and was in a mood to watch him drink porridge.
Li was outside the door shouting, "Mom, the lard is done, what are we going to cook for dinner?"
Zhulan thought about it. Because it was a novel and the dynasty was imaginary, there were abundant vegetables, even peppers that were not available until the end of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, it was imaginary, otherwise she would want to die because she loves spicy food. It was a pity that she couldn't eat it now. She needed to take care of her body. "Let's stew the cabbage. Add more oil to make up for the oil and water. Put some oil residue in the pancakes tonight."
Li responded happily, "I understand, mother."
Zhulan felt that because her original self had a good mother-in-law, she also wanted to be a good mother-in-law, so she never harassed her daughter-in-law. Although she was in charge of the household expenses, she was not stingy and kept a close eye on her. Thinking of her original mother-in-law, Zhulan's eyes flashed.
The hoarse voice became smoother, "Anything else?"
Zhulan looked at the empty bowl and said, "Yes, wait."
While serving the porridge, Zhulan glanced at the oil can and the oil residue and nodded with satisfaction. Li was also a well-informed person. When she returned to the bedroom, the medicine in the bowl was gone.
Zhulan raised her eyebrows and handed over the bowl, "There is still porridge in the pottery pot, enough for us to eat."
"kindness."
Zhulan looked at the person who was drinking porridge with his head down and chuckled, "You are not afraid that I will put drugs in the medicine, but you drink it happily."
Zhou Shuren froze. He really hadn't thought about it. From the moment the woman went out and came back, he knew he couldn't keep it secret anymore. He must have been exposed. He hadn't thought about how to start the conversation, and he hadn't thought that it was only a secret for one person, but it would no longer be a secret if there was one more person. He wondered if someone would drug him.
Then he felt relieved again and continued to drink the porridge. When he finished it and his stomach was full, he felt strong again and raised his head, "You won't."
Zhulan raised her eyebrows. She did it on purpose. A stranger came into her house. She could test him to see who he was. Since he didn't get angry, she could trust him. She felt more at ease. "Now, can we talk about it? You owe me a life?"
