Traveling through the 1970s: The young wife loves to make trouble

Chapter 169 Bad Taste

Seeing her excited and eager to try, Wei Jingyuan's eyes were full of doting.

He thought to himself, he had been lame for two years, and in just a few days he was able to stand up and walk. Not to mention that it scared Old Jiang, even he himself still couldn't believe it.

"Bad taste." Wei Jingyuan said it was bad taste, but his hand was honestly holding Tao Qiuyi's little hand.

She tilted her head to look at him, but could only see his shoulders. Tao Qiuyi suddenly realized how tall Wei Jingyuan was. If she wanted to look him in the eye and talk to him, she had to crane her neck to do so.

I’m so depressed!

"What's wrong?" Seeing her expression change, Wei Jingyuan wanted to know what it was.

"I feel a little depressed." After saying this in a muffled voice, Tao Qiuyi took Wei Jingyuan's hand and walked towards the thatched hut.

Wei Jingyuan passively followed her, his mind pondering her words. Why was she so depressed? She had just excitedly said she was going to scare Elder Jiang.

Thinking back, I realized that she said she was depressed because I said she had a bad taste.

But, he didn't mean to disparage her by saying she had a bad taste.

"That..." Wei Jingyuan wanted to explain himself, but he didn't know where to begin. He was anxious, and his legs, which had just recovered, were losing their balance.

His tall body staggered and almost caused Tao Qiuyi, who was holding his hand, to fall.

Fortunately, Tao Qiuyi was strong and had quick reactions. He stopped, steadied himself, and also helped Wei Jingyuan.

After helping him stand steadily, Tao Qiuyi immediately asked, "What's wrong? Is your leg uncomfortable?"

Wei Jingyuan, who had just done something embarrassing, blushed. Before he could answer, he saw Tao Qiuyi was about to squat down to check his legs, so he immediately reached out and grabbed her wrist to stop her.

"No, my leg is fine." Wei Jingyuan said quickly, and the big hand holding Tao Qiuyi's wrist unconsciously increased the strength.

Tao Qiuyi wanted to withdraw his hand, but he increased his strength and directly raised his other hand to pat the back of his hand, frowning and saying, "Be gentle, you're pinching me."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." After apologizing repeatedly, Wei Jingyuan quickly let go of her hand, then grabbed her hand again to check it, with a serious look as if he was doing something very serious.

"Wei Jingyuan, what are you doing?" Tao Qiuyi was speechless at his confusing behavior.

"Look at your hand..." Before Wei Jingyuan could finish his words, the old branch secretary, Huang Hao, and Zhang Moli walked up to them and looked at Wei Jingyuan with concern.

The old Party Secretary was the first to ask, "Jing Yuan, are you okay?"

"I saw you almost fall just now. Is your injured leg hurting again?" Huang Hao asked.

They were walking behind and saw Wei Jingyuan almost fall. It was Tao Qiuyi's quick reaction and great strength that helped him hold Wei Jingyuan back and prevent him from falling.

In the situation just now, if anyone else had been in the same situation, the end result would have been that both of them would have fallen down.

"Sister Qiuyi, are you okay?" Zhang Moli asked Tao Qiuyi. "I was walking behind you and saw you and Doctor Wei almost fall. I was really worried about you."

Glancing at Tao Qiuyi, Wei Jingyuan said calmly, "It was just an accident. Qiuyi and I are fine. My leg doesn't hurt either. Thank you, old Party Secretary, and you two, for your concern."

"Yes, it was an accident." Tao Qiuyi agreed with a smile and pulled his hand back from Wei Jingyuan without leaving a trace.

Wei Jingyuan glanced at her and said nothing. "I'm glad you're okay." The old Party Secretary then warned, "Jingyuan, don't blame me for being so talkative. Your leg has only just healed, so you still need to take good care of it."

"It's best to take a break whenever you can, and never take advantage of your youth to show off."

The old branch secretary thought the following words were unlucky, so he didn't say any more.

"Old Party Secretary, your advice is a favor to me. How could I be so ungrateful as to blame you for being too talkative?" Wei Jingyuan stood straight and bowed to the old Party Secretary. "Thank you, Old Party Secretary."

"No need to thank me, it's enough for you to know what's going on." The old branch secretary smiled and waved his hand.

Glancing at Tao Qiuyi standing next to Wei Jingyuan, the old Party Secretary gave another reminder, "Miss Tao has worked hard to take care of you three siblings. Now that your leg is healed, remember her kindness."

"I know." Wei Jingyuan nodded solemnly, reached out and shook Tao Qiuyi's hand, and promised: "Old Party Secretary, I will definitely treat Qiuyi well."

Zhang Moli followed up, "Doctor Wei, you must keep your word. You must be nice to Sister Qiuyi in the future, because Sister Qiuyi is also very nice to you."

"Yes, I will definitely treat Qiu Yi well in the future." Wei Jingyuan promised again.

Tao Qiuyi turned her head to look at Wei Jingyuan, not paying much attention to what he said.

"Let's go, let's go scare Old Jiang." Wei Jingyuan took Tao Qiuyi's hand and walked forward. Although he walked slower this time, he was very steady.

Noticing that he slowed down, Tao Qiuyi thought that he was traumatized by the fact that he almost fell just now.

This won't do. Holding his arms with both hands, Tao Qiuyi whispered, "You can walk without worry. I'll walk beside you and will definitely not let you fall."

"I know." Wei Jingyuan felt warm inside, remembering how he had pinched her hand and how he had been interrupted. He lowered his head close to her ear and asked in a low voice, "Does your hand still hurt?"

Tao Qiuyi was so perceptive that she knew when he approached. She thought he was going to whisper something, but it turned out to be...

The warm breath beside her ear made her feel itchy. Tao Qiuyi tilted her head and rolled her eyes at him. "My hand doesn't hurt anymore. If you don't walk properly and fall, I won't take care of you."

"That's not what you just said." Wei Jingyuan frowned and subconsciously tightened his grip on her hand. "You just told me to walk without worry. You'll definitely not let me fall if you walk beside me."

"Did I say that just now?" Tao Qiuyi blinked innocently, and that puzzled expression seemed to say, you must be dreaming.

She...she denied what she just said. If it weren't for Wei Jingyuan's firm mind, he would have doubted his ears and eyes, wondering if there was something wrong with them.

The big hand holding her small hand squeezed it hard as a punishment, then loosened its grip on her hand, Wei Jingyuan felt mixed emotions.

Seeing his angry but unable to speak out, Tao Qiuyi laughed in her heart, "Little guy, I can't deal with you."

Walk to the door of the thatched hut.

In the room, Old Jiang was sitting at the consultation table, concentrating on writing a prescription. Only Tao Qiuyi and Wei Jingyuan had good eyesight to see clearly that Old Jiang was writing the prescription.

There was an auntie sitting on the long bench for consultations, and next to her stood a young daughter-in-law. Tao Qiuyi felt that the figure looked familiar from behind, but for a moment he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

If you can’t remember, just don’t think about it. Tao Qiuyi never makes things difficult for herself.

"Mr. Jiang." Tao Qiuyi called out to Mr. Jiang only after he put down his pen and handed the written prescription to his aunt.

Elder Jiang looked up at the door and saw Wei Jingyuan and Tao Qiuyi standing side by side, both of them standing straight, stunned. The prescription in his hand fell to the ground without him noticing.
