Chapter 172： : Temporary separation

Cui Mi came to Qi Shu Gong's house and explained his purpose. The seventh uncle already respected him very much. When he learned that the famous Dean Cui was going to settle in Lijiazhuang, he was immediately overjoyed and happily granted him the land.

As for the money to buy the land, just give it a little if you feel like it.

Cui Mi was not without money, so he would not leave anyone with a reason to talk about this. He immediately rejected the seventh uncle's kindness. He would pay as much as he wanted. He would never give the villagers a copper penny.

The seventh uncle was even more respectful now.

The two chatted happily. The seventh uncle even stayed with Cui Mi to eat and asked the old woman to prepare more delicious dishes.

Now the seventh uncle lives alone in the old house with his wife. As for the sons, they are separated and let them go out and live alone.

Just come over during the New Year and festivals to show your respects, and just take care of their small family in normal times.

They are parents who are not too old to move.

 Knowing that Mr. Cui was staying at the Seventh Uncle's house for lunch at noon, Shen Yizhi asked Han Baoluo to send two dishes over to add extra dishes to the two elderly people.

When Han Baoluo opened the food box and took out the pork belly with pickled vegetables and braised pork chop, the eyes of the two old men lit up at the same time.

Noticing the greediness of the other party, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Han Baoluo took out another pot of wine and said, "Seventh Uncle, this wine is brewed with snake gall. It has the effects of dispelling wind, activating collaterals, regulating qi and blood, and dispelling dampness and cold. Sister Zhizhi said you can drink this wine every night Have a drink and drink for a while, and your old cold legs will feel better."

"Okay, okay, I know what I mean." The seventh uncle was very moved.

However, Cui Mi was a little bit dissatisfied.

Han Baoluo couldn't help but laugh when he caught a glimpse of his expression. Sister Zhizhi was right. Young and old, this person is like a child when he gets old and needs to be coaxed.

"Grandpa, the dried plums used in this braised pork with plums and vegetables have the effects of appetizing, replenishing blood and promoting fluids, replenishing deficiency and fatigue, and curing phlegm and cough. Sister Zhizhi said that you have suffered from physical losses in your early years, so you need to take more supplements, so I made this dish especially for you.”

When Cui Mi heard this, his eyebrows and eyes widened in laughter. He tried his best to appear unfazed, but failed.

Han Baoluo made the two old people happy and said, "Grandpa, seventh uncle, you eat slowly, I'm going back."

The seventh uncle’s wife, Mr. Nie, sent her out and stuffed her with a jar of homemade salted duck eggs.

Han Baoluo didn’t refuse. Grandma Nie’s salted duck eggs were excellent, and they were perfect with porridge.

When she reached the entrance of the hospital, she asked the old man to stop, and took out a box of ointment from her sleeve, "Grandma, this is Fengyou ointment. Sister Zhizhi heard that you often have headaches, so she asked me to bring this ointment to you. I usually put a little bit here and rub it in slowly, and the headache will go away.”

She pointed to her temple.

Nie held the ointment box in her hands and kept saying to her good boy, "It's hard for her to still miss me, an old woman."

Han Baoluo walked back briskly with a jar of salted duck eggs in his arms.

Within two days, Cui Mi received a reply. The hospital had reservations about his resignation as dean and needed him to go back for an interview.

Moreover, Cui Mi still had some things to deal with in Dancheng, so he had to go back.

Han Baoluo was worried and proposed to go back with him and see the place where his mother once lived.

Cui Mi naturally would not refuse.

Shen Yizhi hosted a barbecue dinner to practice for them.

The location is in a bamboo forest behind the yard.

There are two barbecue grills placed in the open space. Shen Yizhi drew the drawings and found someone to customize the grills.

It is about 1.2 meters high and has a long iron box on four legs. It is used to store charcoal. It is covered with a layer of wire mesh. The red-hot charcoal is put in and the skewered food is placed on the wire mesh. Put it on, turn it over constantly, sprinkle with seasonings, and take it out after it is cooked.

This way, there is a layer of wire mesh to prevent the food from being burned. Even a newbie can try it.

The rectangular table next to the grill is filled with a variety of prepared ingredients, including various meats, vegetables, sausages, meatballs, etc.

It seems that apart from rice, there seems to be nothing that cannot be roasted. It only depends on whether it tastes good or not.

Grilled food has a special aroma that is very appetizing.

In addition, the charcoal used by Shen Yizhi is high-quality pine charcoal. There is no choking smoke when burning, and it also has a light fragrance.

This fragrance gradually penetrates into the ingredients as the heat is heated, and it also tastes like a light pine aroma, which tastes great.

Of course, just eating barbecue would be a bit monotonous. Shen Yizhi also arranged several simple games, such as pot throwing, cards, and 樗 (same pronunciation) and pu (same pronunciation as Portuguese) chess, to make the atmosphere more lively.

A few people were eating and playing, and the air was filled with the tempting aroma of meat and the smell of joy.

The next day, Shen Yizhi prepared a bunch of food and drink for Han Baoluo, as well as many medicines, and asked her to take them with her.

It is not the best to use, but if necessary, it can be used in emergencies.

Han Baoluo was so moved that he hugged her.

But there is not much sadness, but on the contrary, they are very excited and looking forward to it, because this trip to Dan City will not last long. After grandpa has taken care of the things in Dan City, they can come back!

So in her opinion, this trip is nothing more than a short trip.

Shen Yizhi gave Cui Mi several pots of flowers, including a pot of epiphyllum that he coveted.

Cui Mi hugged the flowers as if he were holding his son, and smiled like a child.

Shen Yizhi sent them all the way to the entrance of the village.

“Sister Zhizhi, please go back, I will be back soon!” Han Baoluo waved to her while lying by the window, with a bright smile on his face.

Just as he was about to lower the curtain, a head suddenly hung down from the window. If it wasn't Mo Feiyang, who could it be?

Han Baoluo almost screamed out in fright, and when he reacted, he wanted to blow his head off.

Why is this guy here?

Mo Feiyang showed a big smile, then quickly retracted and lay down on the top of the carriage again.

He put his hands behind his head, crossed his legs, and held a sweet grass root in his mouth. He looked so happy.

Han Baoluo thought he would be able to get rid of this guy when he went to Dan City with his grandfather this time, but he unexpectedly followed him quietly!

The ghost lingers!

Seeing that her expression was not good, Cui Mi couldn't help but worry: "What's wrong with Baolu? Is she feeling uncomfortable?" She was fine just now.

“It’s okay Grandpa, I’m just a little sleepy. I got up too early in the morning.”

Han Baoluo pretended to be sleepy and yawned.

Cui Mi did not doubt that he was there and said, "Then lie down and sleep for a while. Grandpa will call you when you get there."

“Hmm.” Han Baoluo lay down and thought about how to drive Mo Feiyang away.

Cui Mi touched her head, his eyes full of kindness.

Then after she fell asleep, he secretly took out snacks from the secret compartment under the seat, and a sweet fragrance came out.

Han Baoluo: Should she wake up at this time and stop her grandpa, or should she pretend not to know?

Sister Zhizhi said that people of his age should not eat too many sweets.
