C31 I Am Not an Outsider

Receiving such an affirmative response, Madam Qin heaved a long sigh of relief, and said emotionally: "That's good, then that's good! Grandmother knew that Liulang was right, she must be someone who dotes on her wife! "

Hemai lowered her head, and looked at the back of Yang Liulang who had already entered the house. She suddenly thought, if she really was Yang Liulang's wife, she would probably be the happiest woman in the world!

"In the few days that you've been gone, Shan Cao and Shanmu, the two children, have always come to see me. Shan Cao comes the most, so it's not boring at all to chat with me everyday. And Shanmu, that kid, aiyo, every time I come she's always carrying water and firewood. Where do I live all by myself with so much? He had already been told not to recite it, but the child refused to listen! And your Uncle Lu, please send me food as well, to visit me! "

Seeing Madam Qin say that, Hemai smiled: "Grandma, I'll be the one to do the job, it's been hard on them these few days, after seeing them, I'll have to thank them properly."

Before Hemai got married, she specifically begged Shan Cao to take care of him. Since these two siblings were kind people, they naturally agreed to it.

Madam Qin smiled and said: "There's no need for that. Today, I have already invited the entire family over to our house to have a meal with us. It is still early in the morning, so I'm afraid it will be noon soon! "

Hemai nodded his head, "Alright, milk, then you can rest. I'll make lunch later!"

"You want to get lunch? I'll help you. Let Grandma go back and rest. " Yang Liulang came out from the house, "It just so happens that I stewed the rabbits and chickens in the afternoon, nourishing Grandma's body."

It was only then that Madam Qin remembered that Hemai and Yang Liulang had brought something over. Seeing the hare chicken and dried fish in the kitchen, she repeatedly told them not to bring such good stuff over.

Hemai helped the old lady push her into the house, where Yang Liulang and Hemai were busy cooking.

"Did the rabbit you cooked with spicy gluten taste good last time? Will you do that at noon today? " Hemai asked.

Yang Liulang said: "Of course it's delicious, I have never eaten such a fragrant meal before."

Seeing that he was serious, Hemai could only force a smile as she received his praise. "Alright, then we'll have spicy heat in the afternoon."

The rabbit had already been skinned. He only needed to chop a piece and marinate it with seasoning. After the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, it would savor the taste.

Yang Liulang cut the rabbit into pieces boldly and brazenly, then followed Hemai's instructions to mix the seasoning and gave it to Hemai, "Alright."

When Hemai took it, Yang Liulang was still holding onto the bottom of the pot, so Hemai's finger naturally touched the back of Yang Liulang's hand.

Her palm was as thick as a mountain, yet as warm as fire. Hemai thought back to how he was holding her own hand as they walked down the road.

Yang Liulang's expression froze for a moment, then immediately recovered his colour and naturally brought the chicken over, as he did the same as before, and chopped it into pieces.

Hemai saw and stopped her, "Don't chop the chicken, put the whole chicken in the pot later."

"Alright."

The chicken had been scooped up, stuffed with scallions and ginger and a few slices of coriander, and stewed slowly with a light fire.

Yang Liulang praised: "Your cooking skills are so exquisite, there aren't many people who can cook like this in this ten thousand miles or so, who learned it from?"

Hemai thought about it, "It should be my mother."

"Hmm?" Yang Liulang was stunned.

Hemai hurriedly explained, "Grandmother said that my mother's culinary skills are excellent. With my skills, she should have learned it from my mother."

Yang Liulang was still a little confused, he did not understand why Hemai could not confirm his words.

"Do you know that I was brought back to the Xiaoqing Village by my father?" Hemai asked.

"Naturally."

When they returned to the village that day, he was the first person in the village to see her. It was just that Hemai did not know about it.

"Before that, I lived outside the Xiaoqing Village," Hemai said as her hands constantly moved about, "My father said that I lived with my mother for a few years after she died, and that I was left alone. Then I got so sick that my head almost burned out. I was saved, but I can't remember anything. "

The blade in Yang Liulang's hand moved, and almost cut his own finger when it went down.

"Are you alright?" Hemai hurriedly asked.

"No," Yang Liulang calmed himself down, looked at Hemai's clear eyes and asked: "Does that mean, you can't remember the things from the past?"

"That's right," Hemai nodded, "I don't know when I'll be able to recover."

"I didn't know about this," Yang Liulang said solemnly. "You should have told me earlier."

Hemai was startled, she thought to herself, what's there to say about this, she knew that her head was in a mess, and did not have a reaction like his.

"What's wrong with that," she casually waved her hand, "How many people fall sick and die in this world? In any case, I am still alive and strong, aren't I?"

Yang Liulang shook his head, "This is no small matter." He gently put down the knife. "I'll help you think of something."

Hemai never thought that Yang Liulang would promise her this.

In her heart, she had never expected that she would remember what happened before she became ill. Perhaps other people did not know of this feeling, and only those who had lost would know that it was very difficult to return to what they had already lost.

"Well, thank you." Hemai said softly, "Actually, there's no need to take it to heart. I'm already used to it."

Seeing such a polite Hemai, Yang Liulang frowned, and said gently with determination: "If you think I'm one of you, don't say such words again."

Hemai looked at Yang Liulang's determined eyebrows, his heart warmed, and his mouth unconsciously formed a smile.

By the end of the next day, all four members of Lu Family had arrived.

Lu Changming and his wife brought half a basket of homemade soybeans and sweet potatoes, Shan Cao and Shanmu both carried two bags of pastries and a basket of eggs, as they entered the courtyard.

"So what if he came, why did he bring something with him?" Madam Qin rebuked, "Why are you spending everything like this?"

Lu Changming laughed innocently, "Aunt, what good stuff did your family make in the past, Changjun always wanted to call me here to eat, what do we have now, can I not think about you?"

"Exactly, Aunt, this isn't anything special. Just this egg alone is enough to nourish your body. This child's uncle brought me those two packets of pastries for you guys to taste. " The Shan Cao's Mom laughed.

One was simple, one was straightforward, both of them were close to Madam Qin.

On the day of Hemai's wedding, Shan Cao's Mom had been busy from beginning to end. In the past few days, Hemai had not been at home and had always come to visit the old lady and take care of her with some food.

Hemai and Yang Liulang had met Chang Ming and his wife one by one. Shan Cao's Mom looked at the two standing together, pursed her lips into a smile and said to the old lady, "Aunt, don't say it, these two children are really compatible standing together. Looking at Liulang's body plate, I am afraid even if you were in the vicinity of ten li, you wouldn't be able to find such a sturdy body! "
