MTL - The Original Heroine of the 70’s Cannon Fodder Book is Reborn-Chapter 31

"Are you tired?" Meng Xing handed the water bottle to Fang Ru.

"Fortunately, it's just a bit smelly here! It's actually much easier than working in the fields!"

Fang Ru looked at Meng Xing with complicated eyes.

Given Meng Xing's family background, he had never stayed in such a smelly and dirty place in his entire life, and he didn't know how he could endure it.

"What's wrong? Looking at me like that!" Meng Xing asked.

"It's nothing!" Fang Ru lowered her head and took a sip of water, "Don't you think this place stinks?"

"It's okay! When I was training before, I stayed in a place that smelled worse than this. At any rate, free movement is allowed here. At that time, I was not even allowed to move!"

Hearing what Meng Xing said about the past, Fang Ru's eyes became curious. Seeing that Fang Ru was interested, Meng Xing picked out a few small things and told Fang Ru.

"When I was young, my grandpa asked me to squat! Children love to move and can't stand up, so grandpa put a pen on the back of my hand. It is stipulated that the pen cannot be dropped. If it falls, I have to recalculate the time and squat again."

"At the beginning, I cried every time, but Grandpa never compromised because of it..."

Listening to Meng Xing talking about the past, Fang Ru was filled with emotion. He never thought that Meng Xing would live like this when he was a child.

When Meng Xing mentioned his childhood, he was also full of sadness.

At that time, his mother was still there, and every time he finished squatting, his mother would nag with distress and help him wipe his sweaty body clean.

Later, when his mother went away, no one helped him do such a thing again.

No matter how difficult things were, he never cried again, probably because he knew that no one would love his tears.

Grandpa loved him, but the disappointment with his son made the old man pin all his hopes on his grandson.

So, no matter how much he loves his grandson, the old man never showed it on his face!

Hearing Meng Xing mentioning his mother, grandfather, and all the unfair treatment he suffered after his stepmother came in, Fang Ru's heart throbbed slightly.

Unexpectedly, Meng Xing was not what he saw on the surface. His growth is also accompanied by loneliness and loneliness, betrayal and pain.

Fang Ru herself didn't realize how gentle and pity she looked at Meng Xing.

Meng Xing noticed Fang Ru's gaze, and was overjoyed. It seemed that the trick of selling out was really useful.

But Meng Xing was smart since he was a child, so he naturally knew the truth that too much is too much.

He didn't mention those tragic things when he was a child, but brought the topic to the interesting things that happened between himself and Wang Hao.

"I didn't expect you and Wang Hao to be so naughty when they were young?" Fang Ru also deliberately cooperated with Meng Xing when he saw Meng Xing changing the subject, but his heart ached even more.

Meng Xing didn't mention his father at all in his words, as if he didn't have this person when he was growing up.

When she got off work in the evening, Fang Ru thought about it and said, "Why don't you ask Wang Hao to go to the town to buy some pork knuckles tomorrow, and I'll make Dongpo knuckles for you later!"

Because Meng Xing said that when he was a child, his mother would make Dongpo elbow, his favorite food, every new year.

But his mother left early when he was a child, and he never tasted his mother again.

"Okay!" Meng Xing looked at Fang Ru, his voice hoarse. What he said to Fang Ru, although there is a purpose of deliberately selling misery in it, but what he said is all true.

He wanted to arouse Fang Ru's sympathy, let her understand himself, and gradually fall in love with him.

But he didn't expect that this silly girl would be willing to help him make up for his childhood regrets.

"Thank you! Aru!"

When the two were about to leave the cowshed, a figure came from a distance, it was Liu Rong.

She was carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and was walking quickly towards the cowshed. Fang Ru and Meng Xing looked at each other, and they hid aside.

Liu Rong carried the basket and walked to the gate of Qian Jianghuai. She knocked skillfully on the door, it opened, and Qian Jianghuai came out.

He looked at Liu Rong who was carrying the basket, and frowned: "Liu Rong, as I said before, I don't accept any apprentices! Don't bother me, it's useless!"

Liu Rong didn't take Qian Jianghuai's words seriously, she lifted the cloth covering the basket, and inside was an enamel tea mug with a lid, on which were printed "serve the people" in red letters .

Liu Rong lifted the lid of the enamel teapot, and the smell of chicken soup came out.

She looked at Qian Jianghuai and said with a smile: "Mr. Qian, my mother cooked chicken soup today, and I'll bring you some to nourish your body! It doesn't matter if you don't accept me as a disciple, you drink this chicken soup, just treat it as my best effort! "

Qian Jianghuai smelled the smell of chicken soup, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He hadn't had oil or water in his stomach for a long time.

Just looking at the calculation in Liu Rong's eyes, no matter how greedy he was, Qian Jianghua would not drink this chicken soup.

"Take it back! These days, it's not easy for every family. I can't accept you as an apprentice. You won't be rewarded for nothing. I can't drink this chicken soup. Take it away!"

After Qian Jianghuai finished speaking, he turned and entered the house, shutting Liu Rong out. But as soon as he entered the house, he couldn't help rubbing his stomach, the chicken soup just now was so delicious!

Seeing that Qian Jianghuai was so reticent, Liu Rong couldn't help flashing a hint of impatience in her eyes.

If it weren't for the old man's great ability in the future, she wouldn't be rushing to curry favor with someone like this.

She didn't drink the free chicken soup, and a sarcasm flashed in Liu Rong's eyes, it's no wonder that someone with such a great ability can still be tossed into such a crappy place.

Liu Rong looked at the chicken soup in the teapot, she didn't want to drink it, she drank it herself.

The conditions of the Liu family in Shuangxi Village are considered good, but the chicken is not something that can be eaten casually. The chickens at home are all kept to lay eggs!

After Liu Rong left, Fang Ru and Meng Xing came out from the shadows.

"So her goal is Lao Qian!" Fang Ru muttered, at first she thought Liu Rong was for Meng Xing!

Fang Ru thought for a while, stepped forward and knocked on Qian Jianghuai's door.

Qian Jianghuai became impatient with Liu Rong's entanglement, opened the door and cursed: "I told you what's going on with you little girl, I told you all, I won't accept you as an apprentice, and I won't drink your chicken soup, don't stay with me It's a waste of time here!"

"Old Qian, it's me!" Fang Ru laughed.

"Why are you a little girl?" Qian Jianghuai scolded the wrong person, his face showed a trace of embarrassment, he scratched his head, "I'm not scolding you, I thought you were Liu Rong!"

"Liu Rong wants to worship you as a teacher?" Fang Ru asked.

Speaking of this, Qian Jianghuai's face became angry: "I don't know where she knew me, but she insisted on coming to worship me as a teacher! I said that I will not accept apprentices, but she is still pestering me!"

Liu Rong thought she was covering it up very well, but she didn't know that after experiencing betrayal and suffering, Qian Jianghuai had already cultivated a pair of piercing eyes.

Although Liu Rong behaved very well, she also cared about him very much, either sending soup or clothes.

However, Liu Rong's eyes betrayed herself. There are too many things in those eyes, too complicated, full of desire, desire and ambition.

Not to mention that after experiencing betrayal, he has already vowed not to accept disciples again. Even if he was willing to accept disciples, he would not accept people like Liu Rong. Betrayal, one experience is enough!

Speaking of accepting apprentices, Qian Jianghuai looked at Fang Ru in front of him, feeling a little pity.

During the chat with Fang Ru, Qian Jianghuai knew that Fang Ru was actually quite talented in medicine.

It's a pity that he has already made a vow not to accept apprentices anymore, if only he could meet this girl a few years earlier!

However, even if she doesn't accept apprentices, it's not considered a breach of the oath that the girl would point out a thing or two when she usually reads a book.

"Mr. Qian, we are making Dongpo pork tomorrow, do you want to come over and eat together?"

Qian Jianghuai really wanted to go, but remembering his current status, he sighed: "Forget it, I won't go!" To avoid causing trouble for them.

Fang Ru and Meng Xing returned to the educated youth spot and found that Qi Han was also there.

When he saw Fang Ru and Meng Xing coming back, his eyes flashed, and he limped up to greet him: "My mother made some jujube flower cakes, and I thought you people from the city hadn't eaten them before, so I gave them to you." Come some."

After speaking, he specifically said to Fang Ru: "I have asked Wei Zhiqing to put your portion on the table for you. Remember to eat it when you go back!"

After Qi Han finished speaking, he turned around and limped away without waiting for the two to respond.

"Why did he suddenly bring pastries?" Fang Ru was a little surprised.

"Maybe they want us to taste the specialties here!" Meng Xing said.

"That's right!" Fang Ru nodded.

After Fang Ru entered the room, Meng Xing stared at the door of the educated youth spot, and Qi Han's figure had disappeared.

Meng Xing snorted lightly, turned and went into his room, and told Wang Hao to go to the town to buy some pork knuckles tomorrow.

Wang Hao was eating the jujube cake sent by Qi Han: "Don't tell me, the jujube cake made by Aunt Qi is quite delicious!"

While eating, Wang Hao handed a piece to Meng Xing. Meng Xing took it and tasted it, it tasted really good.

However, thinking of the way Qi Han looked at Fang Ru just now, the sweet jujube flower cake doesn't seem to taste that good either!

Although Qi Han's eyes were dark, Meng Xing could still see that he had something in mind for Fang Ru.

The jujube flower cake was said to be given to educated youths, but in fact, the only person Qi Han wanted to give it to was Fang Ru!

However, with him here, whatever Qi Han thinks about is just a dream!

In Fangru's room, Wei Huan was also eating jujube cake.

While eating, she said, "I didn't expect there to be such delicious dim sum in the countryside. Although it's not as good as the Chen Ji pastry that Meng Xing sent over last time, it's still a good thing in this countryside!"

After speaking, he pushed a piece to Fang Ru.

Fang Ru tasted it. The jujube flower cake was delicious. The noodle cake was elastic and chewy. The red dates were sweet, fragrant and soft, which suited Fang Ru's taste very well. She couldn't help but eat a few more.

The next day, Wang Hao rode his bicycle to the town early in the morning, planning to buy more pork knuckles.

Ever since he tasted Fang Ru's craft, Wang Hao has never forgotten it. It's a pity that Fang Ru has her own things to do, so she doesn't often cook.

Now that Fang Ru is going to be Dongpo's elbow, Wang Hao is naturally more active than anyone else.

Dongpo pork elbow is a famous dish, and Fang Ru's hand made it, Wang Hao's mouth is watering just thinking about it.

In the evening, Fang Ru made Dongpo elbow, made a lunch box of rice in an aluminum lunch box, poured the leftover soup from making Dongpo elbow on the rice, put the elbow meat and vegetables on the rice, and stuffed the lunch box It was full and covered tightly, ready to be sent to Qian Jianghuai.

When inviting Qian Jianghuai yesterday, Qian Jianghuai obviously wanted to eat, but he refused them. Fang Ru probably understood Qian Jianghuai's scruples.

When Meng Xing walked in, he happened to see Fang Ru's movements, and immediately understood Fang Ru's intentions.

"Let's go together!" It was completely dark now, Fang Ru was walking outside alone, Meng Xing was worried.

Most people in Shuangxi Village are relatively simple, but there are also a few local ruffians. Fang Ru is so pretty, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have dirty thoughts.

Fang Ru nodded, Meng Xing didn't say anything, she was going to call him.

Fang Ru is actually a little afraid of the dark. In the dark night, it seems that there are unknown monsters hiding, and they will suddenly jump out at some time. Therefore, Fang Ru dare not walk at night alone.

The two arrived at the cowshed and were about to knock on Qian Jianghuai's door when they heard a quarrel coming from inside. The speaker's voice was very low, but it could be heard from the tone that they were arguing.

Soon, the sound of slapping the table and throwing things came from inside. Fang Ru glanced at Meng Xing, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, but was grabbed by Meng Xing.

"Don't knock, listen first!"

"I can't hear you clearly!" Fang Ru said, it was because she couldn't hear clearly that she was worried that something would happen to Qian Jianghuai inside.

Meng Xing made a silent movement: "Don't talk, I can hear you!"

Fang Ru pressed her ear to the door, but the person inside seemed to be deliberately lowering her voice, speaking in a low and urgent manner, she couldn't hear anything clearly.

She looked at Meng Xing, who was making a gesture of listening, as if he could really hear what was being said inside.

Fang Ru stood aside, holding her breath, for fear of disturbing Meng Xing.

Meng Xing saw her cautious movements, smiled, and said softly: "Don't be so nervous, there is nothing important in it! Doctor Qian is telling Qian Jianghuai what kind of medicine, Qian Jianghuai said he doesn't know!"

"Doctor Qian?" Fang Ru was stunned for a moment, her eyes revealed a look of surprise, "Can you even distinguish whose voices?"

"Well, after special training before, my hearing is better!"

Listening to the voice inside, Fang Ru felt that Meng Xing was too humble!

It's not that her hearing is better, Fang Ru thinks she has good ears and eyes, but she can't even hear a single word in it.

After a while, the voice inside finally stopped. Meng Xing pulled Fang Ru aside, Qian Jianghuai's door opened, and it was Dr. Qian who walked out.

When he walked out of the door, he looked back at the room, and said "Old Stubborn" to the door!

Fang Ru didn't expect that Dr. Qian, who usually seemed kind, had such a face.

Fang Ru and Meng Xing came out from the shadows only after Dr. Qian disappeared. Qian Jianghuai's shabby house was in a mess right now.

Meng Xing helped up a dilapidated wooden stool that had fallen by the door, and then let Fang Ru enter the room.

Sitting on a bed made of straw, Qian Jianghuai couldn't help being surprised when he saw two people coming in, "Why are you here?"

Fang Ru put the lunch box in her hand on the dilapidated wooden table in the house, and said, "I made Dongpo elbows, and I'll send you some!"

Qian Jianghuai glanced at Fang Ru, with sadness and relief in his eyes. Why is it the relatives around you who hurt you, but the irrelevant people who care for you?

"Thank you! Still thinking about my old man!"

"Eat it while it's hot! We're going back first!"

Fang Ru stood up to leave, but was stopped by Qian Jianghuai.

He took out an old book from his pile of straw, and handed it to Fang Ru, "Take this book and read it!"

Fang Ru took it and saw the veins of the human body drawn on the book, so she knew it was a book about pulse-taking.

About taking the pulse, Fang Ru once learned some from Ning's mother, but she could only give some simple pulses. This book was exactly what she needed at the moment.

"Thank you! I will go back and take a good look!" Fang Ru bowed to Qian Jianghuai before turning and leaving.

"I didn't expect Mr. Qian and Dr. Qian to know each other. I don't know what their relationship is!" Fang Ru said.

"You really want to know, I'll send someone to check it out!" Meng Xing followed Fang Ru, helping her watch the road.

"No need!" Fang Ru shook her head, she just didn't expect the two to know each other, so she just let out a sigh of emotion.

Meng Xing's eyes flickered, remembering what he heard just now, he didn't tell Fang Ru everything. There are some things that Fang Ru still doesn't know.

However, Dr. Qian needs to check it out.

When the two returned to the educated youth spot, Wang Hao was already a little impatient: "Why have you been here for so long?"

Meng Xing glanced at Wang Hao: "I'll tell you when I get back!"

Seeing Meng Xing's serious face, Wang Hao knew in his heart that something must have happened to the two of them, so he stopped laughing.

The Dongpo elbow made by Fang Ru has bright color, attractive fragrance and melts in the mouth.

Wang Hao squinted his eyes after eating: "Brother Meng Xing, after you marry Fang Ru, I will go to your house to have a meal!"

Fang Ru was eating, when Wang Hao suddenly said such a sentence, her face turned red all of a sudden.

She raised her eyes and glanced at Meng Xing quietly, only to see Meng Xing staring at her and smiling. Fang Ru's face was not only red, but also hot.

What a man! Fang Ru complained softly in her heart, knowing that the relationship between the two was not that kind at all.

Fang Ru suddenly realized that following Meng Xing's suggestion, she seemed to have fallen into a trap.

But now, there is no way to clarify! Fang Ru raised her head and glared at Meng Xing. She didn't understand Meng Xing's intention until now. This person is really insidious.

Meng Xing didn't care about Fang Ru's stare, instead he took a chopstick of meat and put it in Fang Ru's bowl.

They were happy and harmonious, but Ning Yuheng and Qi Han were at war.

"Qi Han, what do you mean? Why did you send jujube cake?"

The two were rivals in love in their previous life, no one knew Qi Han better than Ning Yuheng, and Qi Han was not an enthusiastic person at all.

Going to the educated youth order to deliver jujube cakes, Qi Han has no purpose and will never do it.

Qi Han sat on the chair and looked at Ning Yuheng: "It's not interesting, I just remembered that I misunderstood Fang Ru in my previous life, so I sent something to express my apology!"

He would not tell Ning Yuheng what happened in the dream.

He has a secret but unspoken expectation in his heart. Since he and Fang Ru can get together in the first life, is it possible this time if he works hard?

The jujube flower cake was given because I knew in a dream that Fang Ru likes to eat the cakes made by her mother the most.

"Who are you lying to?" Ning Yuheng didn't believe Qi Han's words at all.

Qi Han spread his hands: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I think so anyway!"

"Really?" Ning Yuheng looked at Qi Han suspiciously, and seeing his serious face, he seemed to believe it.

"It's up to you to believe it or not! I just want to express my apologies!"

After Ning Yuheng left, Qi Han sat on the chair and laughed at himself.

He didn't actually like Fang Ru, even after having that dream, Fang Ru was still a stranger to him.

He was just greedy, in the dream, Fang Ru brought him the warmth!

Besides, now that Fang Ru has Meng Xing, the hope in his heart is even more impossible to realize!

If he didn't have a limp, he wouldn't be afraid of Meng Xing. However, Qi Han looked at his left foot, his eyes turned cold.

Liu Rong, it's time to settle the accounts between us.

Liu Rong came to Qian Jianghuai's room again. Seeing Qian Jianghuai eating rice soaked in elbow sauce, a gloomy look flashed across Liu Rong's face.

This smelly old man didn't drink her chicken soup, but went to eat the rice sent by others.

Although she scolded Qian Jianghuai to death in her heart, Liu Rong still had a smile on her face: "Old Qian, I'm eating! Oh, this food is really delicious, who brought it?"

Qian Jianghuai glanced at Liu Rong, and the little good mood brought by eating the delicious food made by Fang Ru disappeared in an instant!

"Why are you here again?" Qian Jianghuai put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and said to Liu Rong, "Liu Rong, I told you that I don't accept apprentices, so don't bother me, it's useless! "

"Mr. Qian, what did you say? I just brought you some food. What does it have to do with whether you accept disciples or not?" Liu Rong laughed.

"It's just right, you ate Dongpo elbow, I have soup here to relieve your greasy, tomato and egg soup! Try it, my mother's cooking is pretty good!"

As soon as Liu Rong opened her lunch box, she was stopped by Qian Jianghuai: "You don't have to work hard here. You can't get anything from me. Go back!"

Liu Rong's complexion gradually turned ugly, she has been here many times. Every time, Qian Jianghuai didn't give her a good face, as if she was some dirty thing.

"Since you refuse to drink, it's fine! But, Mr. Qian, can I know the reason for your hostility towards me? Did someone say something in front of you?"

Qian Jianghuai snorted coldly and ignored Liu Rong.

Do you need others to tell you? The first time he saw this girl, he felt that her eyes were not quite right.

When you look at people, you are always weighing something. It seems to be measuring how much a person weighs and how much it is worth!

Seeing Qian Jianghuai like this, Liu Rong's complexion became even uglier, and tears filled her eyes: "Since you don't like Mr. Qian, then I'm leaving! I'll come again next time!"

Old immortal thing, dare to treat me like this, don't give you some flair, I won't be called Liu Rong.

The next day, when Fang Ru arrived at the cowshed, she found a group of people gathered around the cowshed, and everyone was pointing in the middle.

Fang Ru and Meng Xing glanced at each other and walked forward, only to see Qian Jianghuai kneeling in the open space in front of the cowshed with a tall hat on his head. Doctor Qian was standing next to him, reading out his crimes.
