Chapter 173 Wu Jing Visits
The atmosphere was always good and everyone enjoyed their gifts.
My mother really likes gold jewelry, but she is even happier because it was given to her by Du Ruo.
The same is true for her elder sister Duna. She has a lot of jewelry. Although their family is not rich, they don't have much pressure. Moreover, her brother-in-law is really good to her and has never lacked her materially. But this is the first gift her younger brother gave her, which made her very happy.
This is even more true for Xiang Yuanyuan. It doesn't matter what the gift is, what matters most is that she gives it. Although Du Ruo didn't give it to her alone, she is not the kind of woman who likes to find fault. Instead, she thinks that Du Ruo gave her a gift similar to the one her mother gave her, which makes her very happy.
As for Yaya, she looked at the golden fish on the red rope and finally couldn't help it. She took a bite of it, and then she looked at the golden fish with the tooth marks and grinned foolishly.
Next, the family shared their travel experiences in a harmonious atmosphere.
During dinner in the evening, my dad took out a bottle of Moutai from his collection. This bottle of Moutai was given to him by my brother-in-law, and he usually was reluctant to take it out.
"Yuanyuan, would you like to drink something?"
Dad poured a glass for Du Ruo and Du Na respectively, and then asked Xiang Yuanyuan a question.
"Okay!"
Xiang Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she saw the wine and she immediately nodded in agreement. However, after she finished speaking, she subconsciously turned to look at Du Ruo.
"Then drink a little, but don't drink too much. You just healed your liver. If you drink too much, you will have to be hospitalized. And you can't drink alcohol anymore in the future."
Du Ruo nodded. The day before yesterday, Xiang Yuanyuan went to the hospital for a follow-up check-up. The liver damage has been almost cured. This is also thanks to Xiang Yuanyuan's mother who sent her a lot of liver-nourishing and liver-protecting medicines some time ago. As for how to treat liver damage, their Xiang family has the most say.
However, the doctor's advice to her was that it was best not to drink alcohol. If she had to drink, she must control the amount and never drink excessively. That was why Du Ruo did not stop Xiang Yuanyuan from drinking.
Du Ruo knew that Xiang Yuanyuan would never be able to completely stop drinking in her life. After all, her family situation was that way. In the future, she might have to inherit her family's craft and business, so she definitely couldn't stop drinking.
So he thought that he should just keep an eye on the other person and ask Xiang Yuanyuan to control her drinking. Depriving a person of her hobbies is actually a very cruel thing. As long as she doesn't go out to drink and doesn't hurt her body, then drinking a little alcohol is actually not a problem.
"Uh-huh."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded repeatedly.
At this time, my father seemed to understand something. He smiled and poured wine for Xiang Yuanyuan, but stopped when he had poured only one or two glasses of wine.
Xiang Yuanyuan was not dissatisfied. She looked at the wine in the glass and laughed. No one could understand how an alcoholic felt after not drinking for nearly a month and then being told that she could drink again.
Xiang Yuanyuan sipped each mouthful gently, savoring it carefully before swallowing it. She was even reluctant to eat the food. Seeing her like this, Du Ruo was speechless. He smiled bitterly and said nothing more.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner very much, even Maomao got a chicken leg. After the meal, my sister and brother-in-law took Yaya home because Yaya was going to school soon and couldn’t go to bed too late.
After saying goodbye to their parents, Du Ruo and Xiang Yuanyuan walked towards Yangjia Village hand in hand. Both of them had drunk some wine so they didn't plan to drive. Besides, they hadn't seen each other for a long time and needed some time to spend together.
"Miss me?"
As they walked on the road, the two held hands and Du Ruo asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, I thought about it."
Xiang Yuanyuan's voice was very soft and gentle, not as careless as usual.
"I miss you as well."
Du Ruo stopped, walked up to Xiang Yuanyuan and spoke softly.
The street lights in the countryside are far apart and not particularly bright. This slightly dim environment seems quite suitable for interactions between couples.
Du Ruo had good eyesight. He looked at Xiang Yuanyuan's slightly red face and moved his mouth closer.
"Drip~"
It was not until a car came towards them on the road in the distance and seemed to have seen a person, and honked its horn briefly that Xiang Yuanyuan quickly separated from them like a frightened little rabbit.
"By the way, I also brought some specialties for you. I'm sure you will like them."
Du Ruo waited for the vehicle to pass before continuing to walk forward holding hands with Xiang Yuanyuan.
"What? I like this one very much."
Xiang Yuanyuan looked curious and shook her arms. The shiny bracelets sparkled under the dim street lights.
"This is it. I brought it back especially for you. My dad ate a few of them."
Du Ruo took off the backpack he was carrying and grabbed a bag of chestnuts from it.
"what?"
Xiang Yuanyuan looked confused. In fact, she would be very happy no matter what Du Ruo gave her, but she didn't expect this chestnut, and she didn't understand why Du Ruo said she would definitely like it.
"Hey, this is not an ordinary chestnut, watch this video."
Du Ruo chuckled, then took out his cell phone, clicked on a video and let Xiang Yuanyuan watch it.
The video shows a black bear sitting on the ground, pressing chestnuts with a wooden stake.
"Wow, black bear, did the black bear pick these chestnuts? This black bear is so cute."
When Xiang Yuanyuan saw the video, she immediately became interested, especially when she saw the black bear pressing the chestnuts with a wronged look on its face, which made Xiang Yuanyuan feel incredible.
"How is it? Do you feel differently when you look at these chestnuts now?"
Du Ruo picked up a chestnut and peeled it carefully before putting it into Xiang Yuanyuan's mouth.
"Hmm, it's really delicious. Haha, so interesting."
As soon as the chestnuts took a bite, they tasted particularly sweet. Then, looking at the black bear in the video, Xiang Yuanyuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
In fact, ordinary food depends on who you eat it with, whether you attach special meaning to the food, or your mood when eating.
"There's still a lot in the backpack. I'll send you the video later. You can eat it slowly when you get home."
Du Ruo was also in a good mood when he saw Xiang Yuanyuan's happy look.
"Yeah, let's go up the mountain tomorrow. I want to see the little clouded leopard."
"Okay, let's go tomorrow morning."
"Let's have fish and shrimp for lunch. I've used the fishing kite to catch a lot of small fish and shrimp recently. I've fried them and put them in the refrigerator. I'm waiting for you to come back and eat together."
When the two came down from the mountain, the little clouded leopard had grown a lot and could walk now. It was also well fed by its mother. Xiang Yuanyuan played with the little clouded leopard for a long time on the mountain before going down the mountain.
"Okay, stir-fry some green peppers, it will be very fragrant."
"Let's stir-fry some beef. Seeing the clouded leopard eating it with such relish, I want to eat it too."
"Well, then you have to cook more rice, otherwise it won't be enough for me to eat."
"Okay, okay, by the way, the sherry wine is ready to drink. I made two kinds last time. One was made by fermenting sherry, and the other was made by fermenting white wine. The white wine one is ready to drink now."
"All right, let's drink sherry wine then."
As they walked, the two discussed what to eat. When a couple in love is together, they will feel happy no matter what they do.
"Hmm? It seems like my phone is ringing."
Before she reached the yard, Du Ruo heard a cell phone ringing, which seemed to come from the room. Du Ruo went out without bringing her cell phone this morning because generally speaking, few people would call her early in the morning.
"Well, go answer the phone first."
Xiang Yuanyuan nodded. Even though this place was dozens of meters away from the room, she had never been curious about why Du Ruo could hear it.
"Row."
Du Ruo nodded, and jumped over the fence in one leap. When he stopped, he was at the door of the room, then pushed it open and walked in.
Only Xiang Yuanyuan behind her blinked her eyes, as if... Du Ruo had become more powerful again, or maybe Du Ruo had been so powerful before but she just didn't notice it.
When Du Ruo picked up the phone and saw the phone number, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person calling would be Wu Jing. The two hadn't been in contact since they separated last time, and Du Ruo didn't know why the other party would call him.
"Hello."
However, Du Ruo didn't think much about it. Seeing that the ringing was still going on, he simply picked up the phone.
"Master Du, good morning. I hope I didn't disturb you."
Wu Jing's voice on the other end of the phone was quite loud and polite.
"No, I just came back from outside. Don't bother me."
After all, the two were not familiar with each other, so Du Ruo was just being polite, mainly because he didn't know the other party's purpose.
"Haha, last time I heard that you opened a B&B at the foot of Huangshan Mountain. I happened to be attending an event here, and I wanted to bring a friend to Master Du's place for a cup of tea. Do you welcome him?"
Wu Jing was a bit outgoing and forthright, and didn't beat around the bush.
"Of course you're welcome. How can we not welcome a big star?"
"Okay then. I'll be there in a moment."
"Okay, I'll send you the exact location."
After they finished talking, they hung up the phone.
"A friend is coming?"
Xiang Yuanyuan just came in and didn’t know who was calling, so she just asked casually.
"Well, I don't know what the big star Wu Jing is that I met last time."
Du Ruo frowned, wondering why Wu Jing came to visit so abruptly. Logically speaking, the two of them should have had little in common.
"Who cares? We'll know soon. But do we need to tell Secretary Yang?"
Xiang Yuanyuan came over and asked as she started to pick up the clothes that Du Ruo had scattered around the room.
"No, the village is doing pretty well now, and we don't need the other party's fame. There's no need to make a big fuss. Let's just play as friends."
After thinking about it, Du Ruo just shook his head.
"Well, I'll go wash up and prepare some fruit."
Xiang Yuanyuan took away Du Ruo's dirty clothes from the room, looked at the tidy room, then smiled at Du Ruo and walked to the second floor of the tavern.
"Master Du, your environment is really nice. It makes me want to live here for a while."
Wu Jing got out of a nanny car wearing a baseball cap and looked at the various weapons in the yard. From his position, he could even see the towering peaks of Huangshan Mountain behind the house. His tone revealed envy.
Seeing this scene, Du Ruo just smiled. Who said Wu Jing has no acting skills? Isn’t he acting very well?
"By the way, let me introduce Master Du. This is a friend who is attending the event with me, Ah Hao. Ah Hao, this is the martial arts master Master Du I mentioned."
At this time, Wu Jing introduced a young man who got off the car with him to Du Ruo.
"Welcome, welcome. Come on in and have some tea."
Du Ruo shook hands with the other party, but when he touched the other party's palm, Du Ruo paused. The hand of this man named Ah Hao was a little cold, and Du Ruo could feel that the other party's face was not very good. In short, Du Ruo felt uncomfortable as soon as he came into contact with the other party.
However, Du Ruo just paused for a moment and did not show any reaction. At the same time, he invited the two of them into the house for tea.
Ah Hao is also a star, but he is probably not very famous. At least Du Ruo only feels that he looks familiar, but cannot remember his name.
"Oh, by the way, this is just a small token of my appreciation for your first visit."
Wu Jing then took small packages from the car and handed them to Du Ruo.
Du Ruo did not refuse and led the two of them in. However, he already had some guesses in his mind. It was obvious that this was not just a simple stop by. He was afraid that they had something to ask for.
