The Space Doctor Became the Favorite of the Exiled Powerful Minister - #99 - Chapter 99: Flirting (1st update)

 Chapter 99 Flirting (1st update)

Cui Hejin’s picturesque eyebrows narrowed, and he whispered: “This is the first time to cook and make noodles.”

 I have indeed never cooked in the Duke’s Mansion before.

 At that time, as the eldest son of the Duke’s family, he shouldered responsibilities, was good at both civil and military affairs, and followed the family’s education methods. He had never cooked before.

Even when he came to Donghe Village, Cui Hejin could only light a fire to help heat up the food, but did not formally cook.

Hearing these words, Jiang Zhiluo’s hand movements paused.

 When I thought that this was Cui Hejin’s first time cooking, and it was cooked for her, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

 The corners of my mouth couldn’t help but turn up.

 “It’s delicious the first time I make it.”

Jiang Zhiluo didn’t mean to praise Cui Hejin, but he cooked the noodles at just the right temperature. The noodles tasted chewy and salty.

 The noodle soup tastes delicious too.

Perhaps because of what Cui Hejin said just now, Jiang Zhiluo has more appetite.

 A big bowl of noodles and just ate it.

 After eating, she looked satisfied.

At first, my body felt a little cold, but after eating noodles and drinking noodle soup, my body felt warm and cozy.

Cui Hejin looked at her mouth with water stains and a smile, looking fresh, soft, beautiful and moving.

 He couldn’t help but reach out and wipe her with his fingertips.

Jiang Zhiluo was so suddenly rubbed by Cui Hejin that the corners of her mouth became numb and her heart skipped a beat.

 She looked at Cui Hejin with wide eyes, forgetting to breathe and react.

Cui Hejin retracted his finger, his eyes moved, but he said nothing.

Jiang Zhiluo pursed her lips and her mouth felt dry for a moment.

Her eyes moved, trying to find a topic to cover up her discomfort at this moment, “That noodle is delicious.”

“Well, if you want to eat it, I’ll make it for you next time.”

From the beginning to the end, Cui Hejin looked cool and cold.

Jiang Zhiluo sighed in her heart, this person can enchant people even if he is sitting or standing without speaking.

 Let alone being gentle and sultry.

 She couldn’t resist it at all.

 The most fatal thing is to flirt with someone unintentionally.

Not to mention that she still had the memory of her previous life, so she was not on guard against him.

No, Jiang Zhiluo wants to lure her back.

She turned her eyes and looked at Cui Hejin softly, “Husband~”

　　　The final sound of each call is soft.

 “Well, what’s wrong?”

Cui Hejin’s voice also has texture, pure and beautiful.

 “I feel a little sick in my stomach.”

When Cui Hejin heard this, his expression changed and he quickly stood up, “Does your stomach hurt?”

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said softly: “It’s okay, I just want to rest, but I don’t have the strength.”

 Speaking, he looked at Cui Hejin with expectant eyes.

Cui Hejin looked at her eagerness to try, and felt a little dumbfounded.

 It wasn’t just a stomachache, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

 He followed her words and said, “What should we do?”

Jiang Zhiluo’s heartbeat was a little fast for a moment. Seeing how good-tempered he was, she climbed up the pole and said tentatively: “Then can you carry me back to the house?”

 I thought Cui Hejin would refuse and say something. Unexpectedly, he just stood up, came to her, bent down and gently picked her up.

Jiang Zhiluo’s head buzzed, and she reflexively stretched out her arms to hug his neck.

She didn’t come back to her senses until Cui Hejin carried her into the house, put her on the bed, and took off her shoes.

Cui Hejin whispered: “You should lie down for a while and have a good rest. Call me if you need anything.”

Jiang Zhiluo couldn’t help but feel moved at this moment, so she nodded obediently and said: “Yeah, yeah.”

Cui Hejin’s eyes were filled with a look of affection, and he tucked a strand of hair from her face behind her ear, “Be good~”

 After letting Jiang Zhiluo rest, Cui Hejin left the room and went to clean up the dishes.

 …

 After lunch, it started to rain lightly again.

Hearing the sound of rain outside, Jiang Zhiluo felt a little sleepy.

 She finds it easy to be hypnotized by listening to the rain in the mountain countryside.

Perhaps her body was really weak, so she fell asleep after a while.

Cui Hejin had very good ears, and there was no sound in the house. When he entered the house, he saw Jiang Zhiluo sleeping.

However, the quilt was not covered properly, so Cui Hejin gently tucked her in without disturbing Jiang Zhiluo.

 At mid-afternoon, Mrs. Cui came back with an umbrella.

“Mom, you are back!”

Mrs. Cui said with a smile on her face: “I’m back. We had lunch at your Aunt Zhu’s brother’s house at noon. Things to build the house this time have been arranged. Your Aunt Zhu’s eldest brother is a mason, and Yang Yong from Yangliu Village is a carpenter. They will all come and help build the house…”

“Then you, Uncle Li Zheng, will help you manage it. Please ask the villagers and the villagers from Xingshan Village next door for help…”

 “If there are more people and work early, it should be completed in half a month.”

Although the conditions in Donghe Village are poor, it has a large population and a large number of strong laborers. If everyone helps together, the house can be built quickly.

 Build it early and it won’t delay everyone’s farming.

 In the next half month, everyone will be busy with farming one after another.

“Uncle Li Zheng said, if you don’t have to pay ten cents a day for food, I’m sure you guys are willing to come over and help with the work.”

“Your Aunt Zhu’s natal family is from Xingshan Village, and her uncle is Li Zheng from Xingshan Village. With your Uncle Li Zheng and Aunt Zhu coming forward, many things will go well.”

“Actually, your father-in-law’s family is the most prestigious in Xingshan Village. Xingshan Village was originally a small village with only a few families named Zhu. Later, those people were all people who fled the famine. These people all listened to your father-in-law, but now it’s still you Zhu My uncle is upright, and he is in charge of things.”

“As soon as I heard that we were asking people to build a house, Zhu Lizheng told me that because of our relationship with your father-in-law, the people in their village were willing to help regardless of wages or food…”

Mrs. Cui talked about many things to Cui Hejin.

In fact, Mrs. Cui really doesn’t want to trouble the Jiang family, but their relationship with the Jiang family is known to everyone in the two villages.

In fact, it is also because the Jiang family is very prestigious in Xinghua Village, and Uncle Zhu is upright. If anything happens in the village, the Zhu family will discuss it with Jiang Xiangchuan. The two families are close, so the Zhu family and the Ye family are also Jiang Zhiluo’s. I have a very good relationship with my mother.

Jiang Zhiluo woke up when she heard the sound. She came out of the house and saw Mrs. Cui and said, “Mom, you are back.”

Mrs. Cui felt something was wrong as soon as she saw Jiang Zhiluo’s face. Her expression changed and she said nervously: “Zhiluo, are you sick, or are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

Jiang Zhiluo shook her head and said, “It’s okay, Mom, it’s just a special moment for me. I’ll be fine in two days.”

　　 Mrs. Cui understood as soon as she heard this, “Hejin has taken good care of you.”

Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly helped to explain: “Mom, thanks to my husband taking care of me, he still cooked lunch. I am in much better health now.”

 After hearing this, Mrs. Cui felt relieved.

The family sat down and had a conversation. When they learned that the arrangements for building a house had been made, Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s take out the copper coins first and ask Uncle Li Zheng to help count them. Starting from building the house, we will settle the wages on the same day every day, so that everyone can feel more at ease when working.”

If you don’t care about food and wait for the house to be built and wages paid, many people will feel uneasy.

 As wages are settled every day, everyone is motivated to work.
