Pan ijia rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "You clearly know who the person I love the most is, and you still like to act like this."
After listening to his wife's words, Li Lingyun smiled and said, "I don't know. Wife, how about you tell ?"
Feeling shy, Pan ijia pinched her husband's firm arm while saying, "Why are you so annoying?"
While the two of them exchanged flirtatious words, Jiang Ziyu looked up at the sky, feeling as if his chest was stuffed with cotton.
He waited for another five minutes before he finally couldn't help but remind his friend.
"Ah Yun, did you forget that I'm still here?" he asked.
At his words, Pan ijia quickly pushed her husband aside and greeted the guest with embarrassnt, "Hello, Brother-in-law. I'm sorry for our lack of hospitality. Please co in."
Smiling at her, Jiang Ziyu replied, "Hello, Sister-in-law. I have heard a lot about you from Ah Yun. Today we finally have a chance to et."
Hearing this, Pan ijia chuckled and said, "I hope my husband didn't say anything bad about ."
"How could that be? Ah Yun keeps bragging about his young wife, making so envious," Jiang Ziyu replied with a sigh.
Pan ijia laughed at his words and gestured for him to enter, "Brother-in-law, we have prepared a room for you to rest in. There is hot water too if you would like to take a bath."
Jiang Ziyu was grateful for the hospitality and said, "Thank you, Sister-in-law. I would love to take a bath."
After entering the house, Li Lingyun showed his friend to the room while Pan ijia went to prepare the bathwater.
The room he had prepared for his friend was newly built near the back door.
Unlike other villagers' houses, which had only one front door, Li Lingyun had renovated theirs and added a back door that connected to the backyard, making it more convenient to access the kitchen and bathroom.
Placing the bags on the ground, he said, "Ziyu, you can stay in this room. The bathroom and kitchen are in the backyard. Just treat this place like your own ho—there's no need to be restrained or polite with ."
Sitting on the chair near the desk, Jiang Ziyu looked at the clean bedding and said, "Your wife looks so young. Are you sure she is not underage?"
"My wife will be 21 this year," Li Lingyun replied casually.
Clicking his tongue, Jiang Ziyu looked his friend up and down before saying, "You old cow really dared to eat young grass."
This ti, Li Lingyun kicked his friend's calf and said, "Shut up and go take a bath. You stink."
Feeling pleased after teasing his friend, Jiang Ziyu opened his bag, grabbed a set of clean clothes, and went to bathe while humming a tune.
While he was bathing, Pan ijia went to prepare so food in the kitchen. Knowing the guest might want to sleep first, she placed the food inside a wok and left so embers in the stove to keep it warm.
When she ca out of the kitchen, she saw her husband watering the vegetable garden. Walking over, she asked, "Husband, is there any food your friend doesn't eat?"
Hearing his wife's question, Li Lingyun thought for a mont before replying, "He doesn't have any dietary restrictions."
"Husband, your friend ca from afar. Should we prepare a welco dinner for him tonight?" Pan ijia asked again. Read exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire
Li Lingyun was pleased with his wife's thoughtfulness. The fact that she considered his friend's comfort showed that she cared about him and wanted to maintain his dignity in front of his friend.
Reaching out, he gently rubbed his wife's head and said, "There's no need for a big al—just prepare the dishes we usually have."
Hearing her husband's words, Pan ijia asked hesitantly, "That wouldn't be good, right? No matter how close your relationship is, your friend is still a guest from afar. If we just prepare a simple al, wouldn't that be impolite?"
Looking at his wife's frown, Li Lingyun smoothed it out with his thumb and asked, "Then what do you think we should prepare for him?"
Pan ijia thought for a mont before suggesting, "How about hot and sour soup, Mapo tofu, braised pork, smashed cucumber salad, stead fish, and stir-fried vegetables? For the staple food, we can prepare flower buns and stead rice."
"Won't you be tired if you prepare so many dishes?" Li Lingyun asked.
"Husband, I have been learning from my Third Sister-in-law for so long. I can prepare these dishes without a problem now. I won't be tired," Pan ijia said while raising her chin proudly.
While she was still far from her third sister-in-law's cooking skills, compared to before she ca to this village, her skills had improved significantly. Not to ntion, before marrying her husband, she had gone to learn cooking from her third sister-in-law every day.
Seeing how confident his wife was, Li Lingyun didn't dampen her spirit and nodded, "Then we will do as you say."
"Good!"
After their brief conversation, Pan ijia went to prepare the ingredients while Li Lingyun went to help his third brother build the greenhouse. As for Jiang Ziyu, he was fast asleep after having a al.
At Li Chenmo's house, the three brothers were working when Li Lingyun said, "Third Brother, my friend has arrived."
Hearing this, Li Chenmo nodded and asked, "When would it be convenient for to visit?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"Okay."
Standing not far from them, Li Chenze glanced at his brothers, feeling as if they were planning sothing. But since they didn't say anything to him, he didn't ask.
At the sa ti, in the neighboring county town, Feng Chen was staring at his wife in disbelief in their bedroom.
"What did you say?" he asked.
Yang ngyao sat on the bed, turned her head away, and refused to repeat her words. Clenching her fists, she regretted speaking out of anger.
Seeing her ignoring him, Feng Chen grabbed her shoulders and demanded, "I asked you what you said! Repeat yourself!"
