Agricultural Medicine Fragrance

  "This fragrance is so familiar, isn't it the dinner made by Jinxiu's sister?"

  Liu smelled the familiar fragrance and thought of Tang Jinxiu's exquisite dishes from last time.

  Upon hearing this, Bai Qi and Wang Shi's faces showed a strange expression, their eyes searching around, but they did not see Xiu Niang, Pang Ya, and Tang Jinxiu.

  "Dad and Mom, you're back!"

  At this time, Xiūniáng lifted the curtain and carried Qīnggē out of the east room, with Pàngyā holding a small bowl following beside them.

  Everyone saw Xiū Niáng here and immediately knew that Táng Jǐn Xiù was really cooking in the kitchen. Last time, because of the devaluation of Zhú Yè Qīng, although they were surprised, their minds weren't on it. But this time was different, everyone's mood had stabilized a lot, and at this moment, learning that Táng Jǐn Xiù, who had never touched a pan in her life, was actually cooking dinner for everyone, the astonished look on her face couldn't be hidden no matter what.

  Pang Ya was holding a small bowl in her hands, running to the side of Liu Shi, happily tilting her little head and saying: "Mother, look, this is sweet bean given by Auntie Jin Xiu for Pang Ya to eat, it's so delicious. Mother, you try some too."

  Liu looked down at the sweet beans in Pango's small bowl and a gentle smile spread across her face, "Pango eat it yourself, Mother doesn't like to eat this."

  When she heard this, Pang Ya first stared at Liu Shi in a daze, then lowered her head and looked at the sweet beans in the small bowl with confusion. She was very puzzled as to why her mother didn't like eating sweet beans, when they were obviously delicious. Thinking this way, Pang Ya reached out and grabbed a few more, putting them into her mouth, and then puffed out her cheeks and started chewing hard, trying to tell her mother that the sweet beans were really good to eat.

  Bai Ping and Liu saw this scene, both of them couldn't help but smile slightly.

  "Everyone is tired too, let's wash our hands and go to the main room to prepare for dinner."

  Bai Qi glanced in the direction of the kitchen, a look of relief appearing in his eyes, and then waved his hand to let everyone prepare for dinner.

  Everyone sat down when An Yan started serving dishes onto the table.

  First to be served was the sweet peas that everyone had seen before, followed by mixed eggplant, loofah soup, stir-fried cucumber, and chili peppers were minced into small pieces in a small dish, accompanied by ginger garlic paste, for everyone to help themselves.

  Today's staple food is vegetarian buns, the filling of the buns are diced cucumber and eggplant as well as some dried wild vegetables that Bai Jia had. The dishes were three dishes and one soup, red and green, looking very appetizing.

  Bai Qi looked at the table full of food and knew that his niece had really put her heart into it. Suddenly, he was filled with comfort and smiled, saying: "Jin Xiu is indeed sensible, this craftsmanship is great, Uncle will have to look up to Jin Xiu from now on."

  An Yan heard this and slightly arched her eyebrows, then lowered her head in a timely manner to put on a demure appearance. This cleverly shy demeanor also brought about warm smiles from Wang Shi and Xiu Niang Liu Shi.

  Only Su San remained expressionless, his face cold and unchanged, with a frosty look. Fortunately, everyone was already used to it, so at this moment, they didn't mind at all.

  Actually, if you look closely, you will find that Su San is not indifferent. The hand he placed on his knee moved unconsciously, and the back of it was habitually tapping, as if he had fallen into some kind of thought. His pair of ink jade-like bright and clear eyes, at this time, however, had imperceptibly rippled with a faint wave. The ripple was very shallow, just like a small stone falling into the lake.

  At the moment when she inadvertently glanced sideways, it happened to be just in time to see Su San's unconscious tapping fingers, and her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but start speculating about what was on Su San's mind.

  Is he surprised?

  Due to his own great changes, this is extremely difficult for someone who has always been indifferent.

  As she looked at him, he seemed to have felt her gaze too, and turned his head around, looking at her astonished and bewildered face, those ink jade-like eyes actually curved slightly upwards.

  Did he just smile?

  An Yan thought to himself like this, and when he looked again, Su San had already turned his head around, and there was no longer any trace of him having smiled or turned his head before. This made An Yan almost think that it was just his own illusion, and he couldn't help but blink his eyes lightly.

  Su San slightly curved the corners of his lips in a place where An Yan didn't see, and for the first time, he felt unusually calm and serene.

  An Yan couldn't guess what was on that strange person's mind, so she didn't bother with him anymore and instead lowered her head to slowly eat.

  Su San Yu Guang stealthily swept a glance at An Yan, his eyes flashing for an instant.

  Her movements and postures, surprisingly, have a natural elegance, without any hint of coarseness typical of businesswomen or rural women. What appears to be casual movements actually exude a carefree and comfortable air, like floating clouds and flowing water, making one feel delighted and pleased.

  Su San's eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange feeling flashed through his mind. Among the beauties of Qin Du, there were many stunning women in Nangong as well, surrounded by all sorts of temptations, but he was unaffected. Why did he glance sideways at this merchant woman who had clearly lost her virtue, just because she changed suddenly?

  At first, he just saw the woman fainting by the side of the road and picked her up, sending her to the village. Who knew that the villagers would point fingers at them all the way, and only then did he realize that he had ruined the little girl's innocence in his arms. Well, it was too late now, and he was also approaching middle age, with his elderly mother urging him on. So, he decided to marry her anyway, thinking that women were all the same to him, and marrying one or another made no difference. Thus, he naturally married this little wife he had picked up by the side of the road. Originally, he planned to take his little wife home to see his mother after a few days, but unexpectedly discovered that the delicate and beautiful little wife was actually a fierce and overbearing person. This wasn't the worst part; what was worse was that his little wife's heart still yearned for another man.

  Thinking that as a man he should take responsibility. Since he had already married her, he should tolerate her and give her another chance, so he endured again and again.

  But why did this little wife change completely since she woke up from that suicide attempt?

  The overbearing and arrogant young lady suddenly transformed into a gentle and elegant beauty, which made him unable to figure out even half of it.

  Forget it, recently his mother at home has been urging him to return, so he'll head back first. At the same time, in his heart he secretly hopes that next time he comes back, his wife will still be gentle...

  The others at the dinner table did not notice Su San's subtle change, and everyone was immersed in this wonderful atmosphere, enjoying this unique flavor.

  The chubby little friend was eating big mouthfuls, and his cheeks were puffed up.

  After a while, seeing that everyone had eaten enough, An Yan put down the chopsticks in his hand and called out softly in the direction of Bai Qi: "Uncle."

  Bai Qi had also finished eating at this time. Upon hearing An Yan's voice, he put down his chopsticks and turned to look in An Yan's direction.

  The others at the table also focused their attention on An Yan, waiting for his words.

  Su San, on the other hand, was slightly lowering his head, with the hair by his cheek already blown into disarray. At this moment, he narrowed his eyes, which were like black jade, and didn't look at the woman's overly warm and peaceful smile. Such a smile had a fatal attraction to him. He found that he was extremely eager for such a smile to bloom, and in his heart, there was a faint yearning, hoping that such a smile would only bloom for him. Having such thoughts also startled himself, he quickly held his breath and concentrated, wanting to dispel this strange idea.

  An saw everyone staring at her, so she smiled slightly and said to the chubby girl who was staring at her with big round eyes: "Chubby girl, why don't you go help your aunt get some things?"

  "Good."
