The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister - #42 - Chapter 42: Clever

Chapter 42 Well behaved

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment when she heard this man’s familiar words. Then she thought about it, this man was Li Zheng’s eldest son.

Li Zheng’s wife, Zhu’s maiden family is from Xingshan Village. She has a good relationship with her mother, so her predecessor naturally knew Zhou Zhaoxi.

This person is cheerful and warm-hearted. I guess his mother, Mrs. Zhu, should ask her to take more care of her.

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said: “It’s okay, I can just fetch water myself.”

The little strength needed to fetch water is nothing to Jiang Zhiluo.

However, Zhou Zhaoxi remembered that her mother had once told her that Sister Jiang was weak and weak.

He insisted on helping Jiang Zhiluo fetch water, and helped her carry back his two buckets of water.

Jiang Zhiluo looked at the enthusiastic young man and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

Zhou Zhaoxi poured the water from the bucket into the jar and said, “Sister Jiang, my mother has already told you that if you have anything to do, tell us and I will be strong enough to help.”

Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, “Thank you very much.”

 In any case, the other party has good intentions.

At this moment, the door of the back room creaked, and Cui Hejin came out of the house.

Jiang Zhiluo was stunned for a moment when she saw Cui Hejin coming out.

Zhou Zhaoxi saw Cui Hejin, scratched the back of his head, and shouted cheerfully: “Brother Cui!”

Cui Hejin nodded and said, “I’ll do it!”

Before they could react, Cui Hejin lifted the bucket next to the water tank and poured all the water in.

Jiang Zhiluo was slightly surprised.

 Cui Hejin had always looked weak, which gave her the illusion that he couldn’t carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands.

 Unexpectedly, he looked very powerful at this time.

Zhou Zhaoxi saw that the water was full and nothing happened. He scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: “Brother Cui, Sister Jiang, it’s nothing. I’ll go back first.”

Jiang Zhiluo nodded and said, “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

Zhou Zhaoxi waved her hand and said, “No need to be polite, Sister Jiang, if you need help with anything in the future, just ask.”

Jiang Zhiluo smiled softly and said: “Okay.”

 This is a warm-hearted young man.

After Zhou Zhaoxi left, the smile on Jiang Zhiluo’s face faded, and she turned to look at Cui Hejin and said, “Are you tired?”

Cui Hejin looked deeply at Jiang Zhiluo with her delicate and beautiful eyebrows, and sighed: “I’m not that weak. I will do things like fetching water from now on.”

Even if Cui Hejin is disabled from martial arts, it will not affect Cui Hejin’s ability to do some strenuous work.

Jiang Zhiluo thought that the water tank seemed to be full every day before. Could it be that Cui Hejin had been carrying the water before?

 She didn’t pay much attention.

Perhaps he was sick last night and didn’t have time to carry water.

 He probably doesn’t want to be seen as weak and weak.

 So Jiang Zhiluo did not refute, just nodded and said: “Okay.”

Looking at his little wife’s well-behaved look, Cui Hejin moved his eyebrows and said in a clear voice: “Is there anything you need me to do?”

Jiang Zhiluo originally planned to do the work by herself, but when she raised her head and met Cui Hejin’s deep mist-like eyes, she said in a strange way: “How about you help peel the peanuts?”

“good.”

Gang Zhiluo continued to wash the malt. After washing, cut it into pieces.

 Then cook the glutinous rice over a fire.

 After the glutinous rice is steamed, add the chopped malt and stir it in, then keep it warm in the pot until it ferments.

Jiang Zhiluo turned around and saw Cui Hejin sitting on the side peeling peanuts.

He was peeling peanuts quietly, with a delicate and graceful profile. The breeze blew by, and the wind seemed to be tainted with his elegant and pleasant scent.     Let people think of many freehand and beautiful things in an instant.

 There are already a lot of peanut kernels in the basin at his hand.

As if feeling something, Cui Hejin, who was sitting, raised his head slightly.

Jiang Zhiluo was caught off guard and met his eyes, which had a hazy dark color and a sense of casual enchantment.

Jiang Zhiluo’s heart skipped a beat uncontrollably.

 “Well, if you are tired, take a rest!”

Jiang Zhiluo could only say this to slightly cover up her discomfort at that moment.

 “No problem!”

Jiang Zhiluo continued to work on making pork ribs for lunch.

 While I was steaming the glutinous rice in the pot, I also steamed the rice. I had rice and pork rib soup for lunch.

 Fortunately, I have two pots at home, so it won’t affect my work.

 At almost noon, Mrs. Cui came back. She put the tub on the ground and took out the clothes to dry on the clothesline in the yard.

Mrs. Cui dried her clothes and went into the kitchen to see Jiang Zhiluo coming back. She said warmly: “Zhiluo, you’re back. You didn’t even get a good rest last night. You go and take a nap. I’ll take care of whatever you have to do.”

“Mom, it’s okay. I’m not sleepy. I’ll be fine if I go to bed early at night.”

Mrs. Cui nodded and said, “Well, let’s not stay up late making brown sugar today and make less.”

“By the way, our village probably doesn’t have much beets. If you want to buy beets, you have to go to other villages.”

　While talking, Mrs. Cui entered the room.

 Suddenly he saw Cui Hejin who was busy next to him.

Mrs. Cui immediately beamed and smiled.

 This shows that the son and his daughter-in-law get along well.

Just looking at the two of them gave me a warm feeling.

Of course, Jiang Zhiluo didn’t know what Mrs. Cui was thinking about. She was only thinking about business matters and said: “Mom, I’m thinking about not buying beets to make brown sugar now. I guess there won’t be much. I’ll make some maltose tomorrow in the afternoon.” Let’s take a look.”

“I’m also thinking about doing some food business, such as making roujiamo or leek boxes.”

 Rougamo is easy to imitate, but the taste certainly cannot be imitated.

Of course, when Jiang Zhiluo makes Roujiamo, there is no meat in it, but braised pig offal, which is just as delicious.

 Furthermore, no one knows about leeks, and no one uses leeks for food.

If she makes a leek box and gets her own business, it should be good.

Mrs. Cui naturally had no objection. She knew that her daughter-in-law was independent and capable. She nodded and said, “Okay, I will listen to you.”

 At lunch, Jiang Zhiluo also talked about how she earned ten taels of silver and some medicinal materials from the medical treatment.

Mrs. Cui sighed in her heart, this daughter-in-law is really a prosperous family.

 After finishing the meal, Jiang Zhiluo started to cook the medicine.

Mrs. Cui’s medicine is different from Cui Hejin’s medicine. Two pots are needed to boil the medicine.

Mrs. Cui said: “Zhiluo, there is nothing wrong with my health. Do I still need to take medicine?”

Mrs. Cui’s heart twitched just looking at these medicinal materials. She thought that these must be a lot of money, which made her feel distressed.

 The money earned by the daughter-in-law was not brought by the strong wind, and it was very hard work. She felt that she should not waste the money.

Jiang Zhiluo said: “Mom, you have a cold in your body. You were injured and suffered a lot when you were exiled. When the weather is bad, you tend to have headaches and leg pains. Take medicine to recuperate, eat better and keep up with the nutrition. Your body will be healthy.” I have recovered and can sleep well at night.”
