Conan: Starting out by living with a divorced older sister

Chapter 58 Successful Treatment

In the early morning, the two seemed to have developed a certain tacit understanding. After completing morning exercises, they got up, washed up, and started a new day.

The most important thing today is to treat Youliang's father, Hideki Kawada. After yesterday's treatment with the [Black Jade Intermittent Ointment], the muscles and bones of Hideki Kawada's damaged lumbar spine have actually been repaired. Hideki Kawada can clearly feel that he is a lot more relaxed, and he is looking forward to Murong Zhen's treatment later.

After breakfast, the treatment officially began. Murong Zhen sat upright, with a solemn expression and firm eyes. His hands moved smoothly, showing his master style to the fullest. After the acupuncture, Murong Zhen began to use special massage techniques to stimulate the acupuncture points and muscles on Kawata Hideki's waist and legs. Slowly, Kawata Hideki could feel the existence of his lower body, which he had not experienced in the past few years. The feeling of regaining what he had lost made him cry with joy. Although he could not move yet, he had all the senses. How long would it take for him to get out of bed and walk?

Looking at his son-in-law who was sweating profusely in front of him, Hideki Kawata felt that his daughter had found someone worthy of entrusting her life to.

After the treatment, everyone looked at Kawada Hideki's performance and knew that the treatment was successful. It was just a matter of time. However, this was just what everyone thought. Murong Zhen had to explain the specific situation.

"My father-in-law's illness is basically fine now. I can tell from his expression that he is now conscious. This is the first step. The next step is to continue to stimulate the nerves and muscles that have been resting for a long time. It will take a few times, and then you can start rehabilitation training. But take your time and don't rush. Everything should be done step by step, otherwise haste makes waste."

He turned to look at Youliang: "Wife, I was planning to take you to Hokkaido for a honeymoon before going to the United States. Now it seems that we can't go. I will take you there after I come back from studying abroad, okay?"

Youliang didn't care about this at all. She cared about her family and her husband. It didn't matter where they were. "Husband, it doesn't matter. As long as I'm with you, I can be anywhere. Besides, Dad's condition is more important. Thank you for curing Dad!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host. Through a series of methods, the paralyzed Wada Hideki was cured. The long-cherished wish of No. 6 Bu Tian Fairy was fulfilled. The strategy was successful and the reward [Portable Space] was doubled in length, width and height."

【Portable space】: 20m*20m*20m

Murong Zhen couldn't help but sigh: This is too cool, it has increased by 7 times compared to before. With the current size, it can accommodate a car or a large bed. Yeah, I can find an opportunity to implement it. It seems that I have to make another large purchase of space items.

After a short rest, Murong Zhen took some gifts and planned to visit the Ikenami family and check on the condition of Jinghua's father, Ikenami Kazuo.

Facing Murong Zhen's visit, the Chibo family was very welcoming, including Jinghua, although her expression was still a little cold, but this was her usual style. If she suddenly smiled, it would be strange.

The Chibo family gratefully accepted Murong Zhen's gifts, which included two boxes of tea, two sets of cosmetics, two top-quality pearl necklaces, some supplements for the elderly, two brand-name bags, and a few sets of clothes. Judging from the size, they were given to Jinghua. As for Jinghua's measurements, Murong Zhen could be said to know them best, because he had just measured them yesterday, and they were absolutely fresh. In addition, after sitting down, Murong Zhen took out three [Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills] for the three people to take, and the three people swallowed them in public without any doubt.

Ikebo Kazuo had taken it once and had experienced the feeling of relaxation all over his body. It was the first time for Wen Dai Jinghua and her daughter to take it. After the pills took effect, they felt relaxed all over their bodies, and their previous fatigue and slight discomfort were swept away. It can be seen that this medicine is so precious that you may not be able to buy it even if you have money. The gratitude to Murong Zhen was beyond words. The Ikebo couple looked at Murong Zhen like a son-in-law. What a handsome child! It would be great if he was our son-in-law.

Seeing the fiery eyes of her parents, Jinghua could not help guessing what they were thinking, so she reminded them softly, and the two elders calmed down for a while, and then began to investigate Murong Zhen. Jinghua also got a better understanding of Murong Zhen's life experience and current situation. Maybe it was because he was an orphan that Murong Zhen had a special liking for older sister-type women.

Chi Bo and his wife thought, this is definitely a rich son-in-law, but it's a pity that he belongs to someone else's family, and their daughter is married. Otherwise, it's not impossible. Especially the way this boy looked at Jinghua, it was almost thread-like, it was Sima Zhao's intention, passers-by knew it, seeing Murong Zhen so blatantly, with her parents still around, Jinghua, who was always calm and composed, felt a little embarrassed and couldn't sit still.

It was soon noon. The Ikenami family extended an invitation and Murong Zhen did not refuse. He said he wanted to stay for lunch. The Kawada family also knew that Murong Zhen would most likely eat at the Ikenami family, so they did not invite him.

Ikebo Fumiyo stood up and said, "Then you guys chat for a while. I'm going to the kitchen to cook. Excuse me now."

Seizing the opportunity, Jinghua quickly stood up and said, "Mom, I'll go help you. It will be faster with two people."

Murong Zhen looked at Jinghua's fleeing figure and kept staring at her closely, as if he wanted to follow her.

Ikeba Kazuo, who was standing by, was speechless when he saw Murong Zhen's eager look to follow Jinghua. This guy is good in every way, but this is too blatant. You are the son-in-law of the Kawada family. As a married man, is it appropriate for you to stare at another married man so affectionately in front of his parents? Oh, it's really shameless.

So he joked, "How about, Azhen, you go and help too!" Jinghua, who had not walked far, also heard it.

He was just joking, but Murong Zhen didn't care. He took it seriously and said, "Okay, then please sit for a while, uncle. It will be faster with three people."

After hearing what Murong Zhen said, Ikeba Kazuo and Jinghua almost fell down. They were speechless for a while, but also felt helpless, as they were born at the wrong time.

Murong Zhen ran in the direction where Jinghua left and shouted, "Sister Jinghua, wait for me, I will help you too!"

In the kitchen, Jinghua looked at Murong Zhen who followed her and said unhappily, "Why are you here when you can chat with my dad in the living room? Is the kitchen a place for men like you? And what can you do to help? If you don't help, I'll thank you."

Murong Zhen said confidently: "What's wrong with the kitchen? Wherever Sister Jinghua is, I will be there! I will follow you, and who said I can only make things worse? I am a Michelin three-star chef, okay!"

If the look in his eyes before was restrained, then the words just now had already revealed his true feelings. Of course, he knew Jinghua's situation, but he was willing to throw himself into the fire for her!

Seeing Murong Zhen's confident look, Wen Dai put down the spatula in her hand and jokingly followed his words, saying, "How about you do it?" She was just like Ikeba Kazuo just now, just saying it, but there would always be people who took it seriously.

Murong Zhen said confidently: "Okay! Then Sister Jinghua, help me!"

Chiba Fumiyo was stunned. I was just joking, why did you take it so seriously? It's not just a question of when we can eat your food, it's also a question of whether we can eat it. Then he thought of Murong Zhen's purpose, forget it, let's leave you two alone.

Ikeba Fumuyo said meaningfully: "Then the kitchen is left to you. I'm going to have tea with Jinghua's father."

Chapter 59 Cooking Show

Seeing that only Murong Zhen and herself were left, Jinghua tied on an apron speechlessly and said to Murong Zhen, "If you want to help, just help wash the vegetables."

Murong Zhen knew that Jinghua looked down upon him. Well, I originally wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person, but what I got in return was distrust. Well, I am a Michelin three-star chef, and I’m going to reveal my cards!

Murong Zhen pulled out a knife from the knife rack and fished out a fresh perch from the bucket on the ground. This was what Ikeba Kazuo caught in the fish pond in front of the door this morning. He knocked it unconscious, scaled it, gutted it, removed the gills, cut it into pieces, and served it on a plate. It was a smooth process. He then shredded the green onion, ginger, and carrots, and quickly prepared a bowl of seasoning, stirred it, and sprinkled it. Then he put it in the steamer.

Jinghua was already dumbfounded. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed it even if she was beaten to death. You are young and have superb medical skills, you are good at studying and have a high degree, you have a good figure and are handsome, you are good at fighting, but you can also cook in the kitchen. What do we women do? Are we responsible for being beautiful? Yeah, it seems pretty good!

"Sister Jinghua, wake up and wash some eggplants, potatoes and peppers." Murong Zhen's words woke Jinghua up, and Jinghua willingly threw herself into the role of helper. After Jinghua washed one, Murong Zhen cut one, and also prepared some ingredients. When all three were washed and cut, Murong Zhen was about to heat the oil in the wok, but was interrupted by Jinghua. It turned out that she took off her apron and handed it to Murong Zhen. Murong Zhen raised his occupied hand, and Jinghua had no choice but to help him tie the apron herself. Looking at Murong Zhen, who was a head taller than her, she said, "Lower your head."

Murong Zhen lowered his head in cooperation, meeting Jing Hua's raised head. Suddenly, space froze, time stopped, and the two looked at each other, with an imperceptible distance between them. Just when Jing Hua was about to fall, her identity suddenly awakened her. She quickly turned her head and helped Murong Zhen tie her apron. Then she placed a plate next to the stove.

Murong Zhen also began to demonstrate his cooking skills. He heated the pan with oil, put the vegetables in, stir-fried, flipped the pan, added seasonings, and so on. Then he poured the vegetables into the plate prepared by Jinghua, brought it to her, and said, "Sister Jinghua, try it and see if it suits your taste?"

Jinghua took a bite and didn't comment yet, but her expression had already betrayed her. She still said stubbornly, "It's OK, barely edible!"

Murong Zhen was speechless for a while. Jinghua, you are so stubborn. You are waiting for me to get the chance. I will teach you a lesson.

"Sister Jinghua, what kind of food do you like?"

“Yeah, spicy, huh?”

"Okay, take a look!"

Then she started to prepare the next dish. Jinghua was also busy having fun on the side. The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, as if they had cultivated it for many years. She even took the initiative to help Murong Zhen wipe his sweat, which was beyond Murong Zhen's expectation. Her virtuous and gentle appearance was not fake at all. Murong Zhen, who originally planned to make 6 dishes and one soup, added four more dishes, making a total of 10 dishes and one soup!

After Jinghua served the last dish, Murong Zhen was already cleaning up the kitchen. After Jinghua served the rice, Murong Zhen had finished cleaning up, clean and tidy. When Jinghua came back and saw it, she asked in surprise: "Do you have a little obsessive-compulsive disorder?" Murong Zhen gave her an indifferent expression.

Looking at Murong Zhen's apron, Jinghua took the initiative to help. Without her asking, Murong Zhen lowered his head. Unlike the last time, when the apron was taken off, Murong Zhen kissed Jinghua's tempting red lips. However, he did not push any further, but only pecked her lightly. Before Jinghua could react, he ran away, leaving Jinghua alone, stunned.

Murong Zhen washed his hands and went to the table. Chi Bo and his wife looked at him with amazement, as if they wanted to see him carefully and clearly. Although they hadn't eaten yet, the two of them looked at the dishes on the table, the aroma they exuded, and the exquisite knife skills, and they were sure that the taste must be right. Three fresh vegetables, spicy chicken, sweet and sour spare ribs, stir-fried beef, boiled pork slices, cold three shreds, cold lotus root slices, stir-fried yam with green bamboo shoots, blanched green vegetables, steamed sea bass, seaweed egg drop soup, ten dishes and one soup.

Just when the three were curious about why Jinghua hadn't come yet, Jinghua, who had changed her clothes, finally arrived.

Jinghua felt that the clothes she had just worn had a smell from the kitchen, so she planned to change into something. Looking at the clothes Murong Zhen had sent, she somehow chose one to change into. Unexpectedly, the size and style were quite suitable.

Jinghua changed out of the kimono she had been wearing and put on a black tight knitted long skirt, which clearly outlined her proud curves.

Everyone was stunned. The Chibo couple were just curious about their daughter's sudden transformation, while Murong Zhen was simply amazed. He kept staring at Jinghua, and his eyes seemed to want to eat her. Jinghua was embarrassed by the look, and said, "Brother, please restrain yourself." He also regretted changing this dress.

Ikeba Kazuo snorted softly and pulled Murong Zhen back. The old couple took a closer look and saw that Murong Zhen's lips seemed to be painted with lipstick, which was a little red. They looked at Jinghua's lips again and found that they were a little faded. The old couple looked at each other and said nothing. However, Jinghua also found clues from their expressions and movements. She was embarrassed and wanted to explain but didn't know how to say it.

After saying something before the meal, the four of them started eating! Except for the first few bites, the old couple kept praising Murong Zhen's cooking skills, and then they fell into a state of showing off their food. Until the end, when the cups and plates were in a mess, they all burped contentedly and put down their chopsticks. During the process, only Jinghua was very restrained and had always been very ladylike. She didn't want her appetite to ruin her image in Murong Zhen's mind. Despite this, there was still a little bit of vegetable juice on the corner of her mouth. Murong Zhen saw it, picked up a tissue, and gently helped her wipe it off. Jinghua didn't know what Murong Zhen was going to do, so she just stood there in a daze and cooperated.

The three of them looked at Murong Zhen, who felt a little embarrassed, so he stretched and yawned to hide his embarrassment. Seeing this, Chi Bo Wenda stood up and said, "Everyone has finished eating, I'll go clean up the dishes. Jinghua, I think A Zhen is a little tired. He cooked so many dishes at noon, and it was really hard. So, you take him upstairs to rest."

Kazuo Ikeba didn't want to be a third wheel, so he stood up and helped.

There were only two people left at the dinner table. Jinghua said, "It's really rare that my father helps my mother clean up the dishes."

Murong Zhen was not surprised: "Men are responsible for the outside affairs, while women are responsible for the inside affairs. It is a clear division of labor. Isn't it a common thing in Japan?"

Jinghua asked, "What do you think?"

Murong Zhen quickly replied, "It's all right. There's no need to limit who earns money and who does housework, or who does what. In fact, sometimes it's very heartwarming when two people do something together, like one person cooking and the other helping out."

Jinghua saw his serious look and knew that he was not lying or perfunctory, and that he did not think about it at all and blurted out his words, which further proved that these were his true thoughts.

Murong Zhen suddenly changed the subject and said, "But there is one thing that a woman must do!"

Jinghua listened to his affirmative tone and became curious: "For example?"

"Giving birth! This is something that must be done by women. I can only provide support in the early stages!"

This answer made Jinghua speechless. Is there any need to say this? If you were allowed to give birth, do you have the organs to nurture life?

A little angrily, she stood up and said to Murong Zhen, "Do you still want to go upstairs to give birth?"

Murong Zhen was a little stunned, and blurted out: "Is it progressing so fast?"

Jinghua realized that she had said something wrong. She was angry at this man and said again, "What are you talking about? I was just confused by your anger. What I meant was, do you still want to go upstairs to sleep?"

Murong Zhen also stood up. Seeing Jinghua getting more and more angry, he quickly said, "Yes, yes, yes. But wasn't that what you just said?"

Jinghua suddenly turned around and shot out a sharp look, and Murong Zhen instantly turned into a little black man (animation effect).

Chapter 60 Pastoral Life

Jinghua took Murongzhen upstairs. Wen Dai actually said that Murongzhen should rest, but did not say where to go specifically. He just gave Jinghua the right to choose. In addition to Jinghua's room, there was also a guest room on the second floor, but no one had lived there for a long time. In the end, Jinghua decided to take Murongzhen to her room.

At the door, Jinghua hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door. What came into view was a pink-themed world. What Murongzhen didn't expect was that Jinghua, who looked cold on the outside, actually had a princess in her heart. Seeing Murongzhen looking up and down at her room, she felt a little embarrassed and wanted to explain: "I decorated this room when I went to school, and I didn't have time to change it afterwards, so it has remained like this."

"It's very beautiful, and it suits you now. Although you are grown up now, which woman doesn't have a princess in her heart? Just like me, there is also a persistent little prince in my heart, who is persistent about the little princess he likes!"

Jinghua avoided his gaze because she was afraid of falling into it.

Murong Zhen said: "In this case, your clothes don't match this room very well. So, close your eyes!"

Jinghua closed her eyes cooperatively, and when Murong said it was okay, she slowly opened her eyes. What she saw was a pink princess dress that matched the room perfectly.

Murong Zhen's eyes made it impossible for her to say no, so she took the skirt and went to the bathroom in the room!

After a while, a pink princess appeared, as beautiful as if she came out of a fairy tale, and what was even more beautiful was her proud figure.

After being stunned for a moment, Murong Zhen took out a pair of crystal shoes, squatted down, and put them on Jinghua. His movements were very light and gentle, as if he was afraid of ruining a piece of art.

He stood up and made a gentleman's invitation. When Jinghua spoke, he handed her his hand to him and used his other hand to open his phone, playing a soft music. They danced together, and when the music ended, the atmosphere was set, so a kiss was inevitable, but it was just a kiss, and that was enough.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep. Everything was fine before going to bed. When I woke up, Murong Zhen's hand was already placed somewhere, and Jinghua hit him hard as a punishment!

Murong Zhen and Jinghua chatted for a long time upstairs and then took a break. In fact, Jinghua's mother Wen Dai also came up a few times, in the name of delivering fruits. She heard the sound of dance music inside but did not go in. After that, no sound was heard and no one knocked on the door to disturb her. She did not want to interfere too much in Jinghua's affairs and she only hoped that her daughter could be happy.

In order to avoid being misunderstood, Jinghua changed back into the clothes she wore before going upstairs, and then walked downstairs one after the other. It was already time for dinner, and as a host, you can't not cook a meal when guests come to your home. This meal was cooked by Jinghua's mother. Although it was not as delicious as Murong Zhen's, it was not inferior.

The four of them ate and chatted, and finally tasted the tea brought by Murong Zhen. The whole chat process was very warm and joyful, making the four of them feel like they were a real family.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Murong Zhen stood up and prepared to leave. The Chi Bo couple also politely welcomed him to come again and asked Jinghua to see him out.

At the gate, Murong Zhen left reluctantly until Jinghua began to have difficulty breathing.

When Jinghua came back, the blush on her face had not yet faded away. The Ikebo couple pretended not to see it. They were not going to interfere in young people's affairs.

When they returned to Kawada's house, everyone knew where he had gone and what he had done, but they all acquiesced to it, so no one said anything.

Only Youliang asked about the situation and progress of Murong Zhen and Jinghua after the work was done, and Murong Zhen told him everything he knew.

In the next ten days, in addition to helping Youliang's father recover, Murong Zhen will enter the real rural life. He will take everyone fishing and catching shrimps, cycling, camping, etc. Maybe because Murong Zhen has entered the rural life, the prizes he has recently received from Youliang are all related things, such as [Vegetable and Fruit Seeds], [Super Nutrient Solution], [Advanced Bait], [Advanced Feed], [Poultry and Livestock Cubs], [Advanced Farmer Skills] and other related things.

Murong Zhen would go to the Ikenami family almost every day, and the Ikenami family no longer treated him as a guest. Several people from the Kawada and Ikenami families also recovered their health under Murong Zhen's treatment and conditioning, especially the excellent father Wada Hideki, who could now walk like a normal person. Although his running and jumping were still a little worse, he could now take care of himself.

When Murong Zhen told the two families about his idea of ​​growing vegetables, they readily supported him. They readily gave all the land between the two families to Murong Zhen. Murong Zhen made a simple plan and decided to plant fruit trees in one area, plant rice in another area, plant wheat in another area, raise chickens, ducks and geese in another area, raise cattle, sheep and pigs in another area, and plant various seasonal vegetables in the other areas. He also raised a dog named Wangcai and a cat named Wangzai.

The products of the system must be high-quality, so that these seeds are not affected by external conditions such as temperature. A drop of nutrient solution can quickly take root, sprout, bloom and bear fruit. After eating high-quality feed, poultry and livestock can also grow up visibly. Those who should lay eggs lay eggs, and those who should produce milk produce milk. The two families have not gone out to buy vegetables for a long time, because there is everything in the land, which is fresher and more delicious. The two families originally had a good relationship, but because of Kawata Hideki's accident and Ikeba Kazuo's illness, the two families have less contact. Now, with the role of Murong Zhen as a link, the relationship between the two families has become closer. Everyone also maintained a tacit attitude towards the affairs between Murong Zhen and the women.

In order to avoid confusion of generations in the future, Sakura Kawata is the undisputed first elder, and then Kazuo Ikeba and Hideki Kawata are treated as brothers, so Jinghua, Youliang, Rika and Murong Zhen are of the same generation.

The relationship between Murong Zhen and the three people continued to heat up. During this happy family reunion, everyone suggested going to a nearby scenic spot called Shuize Guanyin. It is said that the place is very effective and there is a natural hot spring at the foot of the mountain.
