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

Chapter 187 Gap
After pouring tea for the guests, Wei Jingyuan placed the thermos in the middle of the table and then sat down next to Tao Qiuyi.

"Besides thanking us, is there anything else the old branch secretary asked you to come for?" Tao Qiuyi never liked to beat around the bush when she spoke. If she had a question, she would ask directly.

She could tell they had something to say, and Wei Jingyuan must have seen it too. That was why, as soon as he entered the house, he called Li Zi and Xiao Huai to the next room.

"Yes." Zhang Moli nodded affirmatively, then looked at Huang Hao.

Huang Hao took a sip of herbal tea, ignoring his wife's gaze, and was still considering his words in his mind.

"Are you here to ask for a prescription for asthma?" This was Tao Qiuyi's guess. She could understand their urgency, so she told the truth: "I have the prescription ready. We can go to town to buy the herbs tomorrow."

"You've already prepared the prescription?" Zhang Moli widened her eyes in shock.

Huang Hao also lost his composure, staring at Tao Qiuyi intently, waiting for her answer.

Wei Jingyuan also tilted his head to look at Tao Qiuyi. He remembered coming back from Jiang Lao's thatched cottage. She was a little unhappy because Li Zi went to the river to wash clothes. Then he took his younger brother and sister out to deal with the small fish.

She stayed in the house alone, but not for long, as she went outside to watch them process the small fish.

It only takes a moment to get a prescription, so fast?
"Yes, I have prepared the prescription." Tao Qiuyi nodded.

Zhang Moli could no longer remain calm. She stood up and walked over to Tao Qiuyi, choking with sobs as she reassured him. "Sister Qiuyi, you... you really... really..."

"Really?" Tao Qiuyi stood up and looked at Zhang Moli, who was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes but was trying hard not to let them fall. "I have already prepared a prescription to treat Huang Hao's asthma. I will go to town to buy the herbs tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." After saying the word "okay" three times, Zhang Moli excitedly covered her mouth with her hands and cried softly.

Huang Hao glanced at Wei Jingyuan apologetically, then stood up and walked over to Zhang Moli. He silently apologized to Tao Qiuyi again, then grabbed his wife's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her softly.

Wei Jingyuan didn't want to watch others comforting his wife. He stood up, took Tao Qiuyi's hand and walked towards the door.

As they passed the door, Tao Qiuyi looked back at the two people in the room. The door was closed by Wei Jingyuan. Instead of going to the next room, he took Tao Qiuyi to the kitchen.

Wei Jingyuan unlocked the kitchen with his key. Tao Qiuyi stood beside him and said, "Huang Hao wants to comfort his wife, and we have to make room for them. This feels a bit strange."

"Strange, what's strange?" Wei Jingyuan unlocked the door, pushed open the kitchen door and walked in first, took out a match and lit the oil lamp hanging on the wall.

Although the oil lamp was not as bright as the electric light, it did not affect vision. Tao Qiuyi walked into the kitchen and said, "I can't explain it, it just feels very strange."

After lighting the oil lamp, Wei Jingyuan turned around, not noticing Tao Qiuyi standing behind him. He turned around suddenly, and Tao Qiuyi subconsciously stepped back, and Wei Jingyuan reached out and put his arm around her waist.

Tao Qiuyi looked up and met Wei Jingyuan's dark eyes, and the two of them just stared at each other.

In the quiet kitchen, the sound of each other's heartbeats was particularly loud for two people with particularly good hearing.

The first thing Tao Qiuyi felt was that his heart was about to jump out of his chest, and he was stunned.

Wei Jingyuan's situation was not much better than hers.

After a long while, Wei Jingyuan finally realized something. He helped her stand firmly and then withdrew his hand. His face flushed as he said, "Let them talk for a while. Let's get down to business first."

"Business, what business?" Tao Qiuyi was still confused, unable to think of anything they could possibly do. Wei Jingyuan walked around her and went to the cupboard. He opened the door, took out the fried fish he had put in there, and closed it.

"It's getting dark, let's take the fried fish to Grandpa Tao." This time Wei Jingyuan didn't dare to hold Tao Qiuyi's hand, and stood there waiting for her.

"Oh, yes, yes, bring some fried fish." Tao Qiuyi reached in front of Wei Jingyuan and took the oil-paper bag from him. "Please sit down for a moment. I'll take it now."

Tao Qiuyi turned to leave, but her arm was grabbed. She turned back to look at Wei Jingyuan who was holding her arm, "Anything else?"

"I'll go with you." After saying that, Wei Jingyuan added, "I won't follow you into the bamboo forest. I'll wait for you outside and keep watch for you."

Tao Qiuyi said: "No need, I'm much faster than you, no one can notice me."

"But..." Wei Jingyuan still wanted to go with her. His leg injury had not healed yet, and it was inconvenient for him to walk, let alone follow her to do anything.

Now that she had healed his leg injury, he wanted to accompany her to do anything.

Tao Qiuyi glanced at the arm he was holding, and said to him with extra patience: "You really don't have to go with me. I can go alone and be back in five minutes at most."

"If you follow me, we might not be back in ten minutes."

She could have broken free from Wei Jingyuan's hand and left, but she didn't want to. If you asked her why, Tao Qiuyi herself couldn't answer.

She is obviously not a patient person!
Hearing this, Wei Jingyuan lowered his eyes and let go of her arm. "Go ahead, but be careful on the road."

"Yes." Tao Qiuyi nodded heavily and turned to walk out of the kitchen. To save time, she didn't go through the courtyard gate, but jumped over the wall and disappeared into the night.

Looking at her petite figure, leaping over the courtyard wall that was almost as high as a person with a swift and decisive leap, Wei Jingyuan once again realized the gap between him and her.

He secretly decided to resume training. Even if he couldn't reach the same level of skill as her, at least he couldn't be too far behind.

Tao Qiuyi didn't know that her small action instantly aroused Wei Jingyuan's fighting spirit.

Five minutes meant five minutes. Tao Qiuyi didn't even go through the courtyard gate when she returned. As soon as she landed, she saw Wei Jingyuan standing at the kitchen door, looking at her with sparkling eyes.

Walking up to him, Tao Qiuyi smiled and said, "Look, if I say five minutes, then it's five minutes."

"Well, you're amazing." Wei Jingyuan praised her generously, then asked, "Did you run into any villagers on the way?"

"I didn't run into them, but even if I did, the villagers wouldn't be able to find me. With my skills, if I were found by the villagers, it would ruin my reputation." Tao Qiuyi was very arrogant.

Back then... oh no, before I traveled through time, neither surveillance nor ultraviolet light could detect her, and the flesh-and-blood villagers couldn't detect her either.

Realizing she'd been complacent and had just blabbered, Tao Qiuyi smirked at Wei Jingyuan. Knowing he had good hearing, she wouldn't fool herself into thinking he hadn't heard her. She just hoped he wouldn't ask.

Of course, even if he asked, she wouldn't tell him.

"That's good." As she wished, Wei Jingyuan didn't ask any questions. He reached out and took her hand. "They should have calmed down. Let's go back to the house."

"Okay." Tao Qiuyi let him hold her hand and walk away. She first blew out the oil lamp on the wall and then locked the kitchen door.
