Chapter 130 – Temporary Stay in a Farmhouse

Xu Zhengyong changed his clothes and walked out clean and fresh.

“Ruo …… Miss Wei!” Xu Zhengyong, who was about to open his mouth to call Wei Ruo “Ruo’er sister”, hastily changed his tone after catching a glimpse of Wei Jinye, who was also in the courtyard.

Xu Zhengyong mouth hanging smile, looks full of spirit, simply can not see is buried for several hours not long ago just been rescued back.

“Vice General Xu don’t move, you’ve only just suffered from a night of wind chill,” Wei Ruo crossed Xu Zhengyong’s eyes and warned him not to be too foolhardy.

Xu Zhengyong shrunk his neck and smiled as he took a seat opposite Wei Ruo, not daring to move again.

“Ms. Wei, don’t worry too much, I’m strong and sturdy, such a little wind chill can’t beat me!” Xu Zhengyong said with a smile and a smug look.

You can’t move around, but you can still skin your mouth.

“Deputy General Manager Xu, the body can be one, if it is broken there is no place to compensate, or be careful, as they say, careful boat for ten thousand years.” Wei Ruo said with a smile.

“Miss Wei you don’t know, my family has a nagging sister, since I was a child, she likes to give me tonic medicine, whenever she gets something good, she sends it to me, and feeds me to be as strong as an ox! I don’t get sick easily!” Xu Zhengyong said with a smug look on his face.

“Vice General Xu cut the crap, take the medicine properly and then go back to sleep.” Wei Ruo placed the bottle of medicine towards Xu Zhengyong and told him to take it himself.

Xu Zhengyong didn’t dare to say no, picking up the medicine bottle and skillfully pouring two pills in his hand before picking up the bowl of water and drinking it in one go.

Wei Jin was also at the side, taking in the seemingly rusty but actually intimate interactions between the two.

Immediately after that, Wei Mingting also came out.

Xu Zhengyong immediately got up, walked to the side, and teased the chickens that the farmer kept in his yard.

Wei Mingting’s situation is also okay, in the end is always practicing martial arts and fighting people, the physical condition is too much better than ordinary people.

Wei Mingting sat down opposite Wei Ruo and opened his mouth to thank Wei Ruo, his tone pleading:

“Ruo’er, although saying thank you seems a bit distant, my father still wants to say thank you. If it wasn’t for you today, Deputy General Xu and I probably wouldn’t have survived, and several of our lives were saved by you.”

“Father there is no need to be polite with me, it is something I should do.”

Even if he was not Wei Ming Ting’s own daughter, even if he was just an ordinary citizen of Xing Shan County, in this situation, there was no reason not to save.

Wei Mingting gently shook his head, “There is nothing that you should do, such a cold day, and so dangerous, you and Jin also two people disregard their own safety to come here to find people, this heart is really rare and precious.”

Wei Ruo just smiled and didn’t answer.

Wei Mingting’s gaze was kind as he saw Wei Ruo tinkering with something and inquired, “What is Ruo’er doing?”

“It’s some medicine I brought over thinking I might be able to use it. However, some of the medicines here were separated when they were made in order to maintain their medicinal properties, and you need to mix them together again when you use them.” Wei Ruo said.

“Ruo’er thinks really carefully.” Wei Mingting complimented.

“Father should have suffered from wind chill yesterday, you wait for me to mix the medicine and you take a bowl as well.” Wei Ruo said.

“Good.” Wei Mingting wore a smile on his face.

There was warmth in his heart as he watched his daughter mixing medicine for himself to cure the wind and cold.

Wei Ruo mixed the medicine well and then washed it with boiling water.

This method is not as effective as decocting with water on the spot, but it is easier and better.

The brewed medicine is divided into five parts, one for each of the people trapped yesterday, and Xu Zhengyong can’t escape.

Xu Zhengyong still wanted to escape by pretending that he didn’t hear Wei Ruo’s voice when he fed the chickens, only for Wei Ruo to call out to him once again:

“Vice Admiral Xu, you’ve also suffered from a cold, just in case you also drink a bowl, you can still have to protect your family and guard the country to guard Xingshan County.”

Xu Zhengyong could only walk to the table, pick up a bowl of medicine, frowned and drank it down with a stuffy head.

After drinking, Xu Zhengyong drank a few cups of water in a hurry.

It’s so bitter!

Sister Ruo’er’s medicine was as bitter as ever!

Wei Mingting is drinking calmly, the medicine is bitter, but this bitterness he is completely able to eat.

After drinking the medicine, Wei Mingting looked at Wei Ruo and urged, “Ruo’er, you should also take care of yourself, it’s cool these days, don’t freeze.”

“Uh-huh.” Wei Ruo answered.

Immediately after that, Wei Mingting looked at Wei JinYi again, “When did JinYi come back?”

“Yesterday. Because of the recent bad weather, I was worried about something at home and came back early.” Wei Jin also answered.

“Have a heart.” Wei Mingting said.

“Not as good as the big sister in case, when I came back yesterday, the big sister was already in the south of the city rescuing people.” Wei Jin also said to Wei Mingting.

What Wei Ruo didn’t mention herself, Wei Jin also mentioned for her.

“Oh? Ruo’er even went to the south of the city to rescue people?” Wei Mingting once again looked at Wei Ruo.

“Most of the people in the south of the city’s open fields are poor, and the houses they live in are all improvised during this period of time, so they can’t withstand the wind and rain, and the cold weather and the rainwater flooding the area, so if they don’t move them there’s a risk to their lives.” Wei Ruo replied.

“Ruo’er is well thought out, indeed.” Wei Mingting was very agreeable, looking at Wei Ruo with a pleased expression.

Wei Mingting heart feeling quite deep, the daughter of what she did, although different from the general women in the boudoir, but not inferior to any noblewoman in the capital.

If she were a male, she would be able to do something!

“Father’s body is still weak, don’t be out in the wind, it’s better to go back to the house to rest first.” Being praised by Wei Ming Ting made Wei Ruo not very accustomed to it, so he told Wei Ming Ting to go back to the house to rest first.

Immediately after that, Wei Ruo crossed Xu Zhengyong’s eyes again.

Although nothing was said, Xu Zhengyong obediently went into the house.

Because the road was not yet open, several people had to rest for the night at a farmhouse, where nearby villagers brought them a variety of ingredients.

Wei Ruo didn’t take more of the people’s ingredients, only four blocks of tofu, a handful of small greens, three eggs, and some rice.

Because Wei Ruo knew that the villagers were having a hard time these past two years, these ingredients must have been saved by them.

Xiu Mei is not here, Wei Ruo can only take charge of the kitchen by herself.

Although the ingredients were very limited and could only make some small, home-cooked dishes, Wei Ruo used abundant seasonings and excellent craftsmanship to make four home-cooked dishes with these three ingredients: braised tofu, tofu mixed with small onions and soy sauce, stir-fried greens, and egg custard.

The ordinary four-course home-cooked meal is also done with color and flavor.

Wei Mingting ate three whole bowls of rice with these dishes, firstly because he was really hungry, and secondly because these home-cooked dishes were very much to his liking.

“Ruo’er, it turns out that you’re the one with the best craftsmanship in our family, and I never knew it.” Wei Mingting lamented.

Earlier, I only knew Xiu Mei’s cooking skills, but I didn’t know that it turned out that Wei Ruo was the same, not losing Xiu Mei’s in the slightest.

Wei Jin was also a bit surprised, he hadn’t seen Wei Ruo cook before.

“Just some home cooking.” Wei Ruo said.

“The more homely the dish, the more you can see the real skill.” Wei Mingting said.
