Rebirth of the Lin family's wife

Chapter 47

For some reason, Lin Yuexian refused to see a doctor.

Mei Huiyi really had no choice but to follow him.

When she was on a cruise ship in Hong Kong, she also bought a small bag of rice, and basically used it to cook porridge for Lin Yuexian in the past few days.

After several days of recuperation, Lin Yuexian's body also slowly recovered.

Hui Yimei has already gone back to Holford University to complete her studies, but because she has missed several months, she can't keep up with her homework, and she can't help but read the book every night until midnight...

Lin Yuexian has also been working hard to adapt to the environment.

It's not that he doesn't understand English.

But knowing English, and applying English directly to life without any process...for Lin Yuexian, it is a bit too straightforward.

But he also began to adjust himself.

On the first day, Lin Yuexian went downstairs and walked around the neighborhood.He went to the street market to buy a piece of beef bone and came back, and also bought a newspaper from the newsstand downstairs.Then, he spent the whole day reading that newspaper, and when Mei Hui returned home from class, a pot of fragrant beef bone soup was ready...

The next day, Lin Yuexian went a little further.He went to a small park nearby, bought a large bouquet of flowers in a flower shop next to the park, and chatted for a while with an old couple who came out for a walk.When he came back, he still went to the market to buy a live chicken and asked someone to kill it, and he also picked some fresh mushrooms.He still bought a newspaper at the newsagent downstairs.All afternoon, he watched over a pot of mushroom chicken soup and finished reading the newspaper... When Hui Yimei returned home, the small dwelling was already filled with the rich aroma of mushroom chicken soup, and what caught his eye was A gorgeous bouquet of lively flowers...

In the next few days, Lin Yuexian went further and further away.He even started to try to take a tram for a short distance to visit further places; at the same time, he read newspapers faster and faster.

A week later, he took Hui Sange's handwritten letter and went directly to Dunpu University...

So, after class, Hui Yimei hurried home as usual, carrying a bag containing books.

She met Lin Yuexian at the school gate.

He looked happy.

"What's wrong?" Hui Yimei asked curiously.

She knew that he had been hanging around for a while.

This is actually a good thing, because the best way to integrate into the local area is to get in touch with the locals more.

Lin Yuexian smiled and said, "...you guess."

Hui Yimei looked at him in surprise.

In fact, it is very embarrassing for two men and women who are not very familiar to live together; but if it is said that she and Lin Yuexian are not familiar with each other, they have been together for four or three months, and she has no idea about his temperament and behavior. Some understand...

So, Hui Yimei really didn't know how to face him.

Because nominally, he is her husband, but she has been trying to see him as a roommate and partner.

As for love...

Hui Yimei doesn't believe in love.

But now, his expression is so cheerful, and his tone is so relaxed, which makes her also feel somewhat inexplicably happy.

"You... Mother wrote you a letter?"

She knew it was impossible.

——It takes ten days and half a month to send a letter from China to England; what's more, they have only been in England for a week, even if the eldest wife started writing the letter on the day they left, she may not be able to receive it .

He smiled and shook his head.

This time, it aroused Hui Yi's curiosity.

"...You are here and met a friend from China?"

After thinking about it, she felt that this kind of good news was probably the only thing worthy of his joy.

Still smiling, he shook his head.

...or is it wrong?
Hui Yimei said honestly, "I can't guess."

Lin Yuexian laughed dumbfounded.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to be an auditor at the 'Department of Applied Mechanics' of Temple University." He said with a smile.

Hui Yi's eyebrows widened!
……So fast!

Originally, she was thinking that when he got better, she would take him to the principal of Dunpu University!Didn't expect him to handle it all by himself?

She glanced at him again.

He was smiling down at her.

Hui Yimei was a little embarrassed, so she said, "Then let's go out to eat? Let's celebrate?"

Lin Yuexian smiled and shook his head, "Go back and eat, I have stewed a pot of mushroom and chicken soup, waiting for you to go back and add salt."

It's not that he doesn't want to go out to eat, in fact, he has eaten in restaurants outside several times.

Indeed, as Hui Yimei said, the locals in England... seem to be not so particular about food. There are always only a few dishes on the menu in restaurants, except for beef and potatoes, which are potatoes and beef. It is indeed not as good as doing it at home. Cook something to eat.

Hui Yimei readily agreed.

The two walked home while talking.

"Then when you went to Dunpu University today, did you calculate the time to take the tram? What time will you get up tomorrow morning?" She asked in a low voice.

He seemed to have considered this question, and he replied, "There is a tram every 15 minutes. It takes about half an hour to take a bus, and it takes about 25 minutes to walk at both ends..."

Hui Yi's eyebrows hesitated for a moment.

"It's really far away, and the time spent on the road is too long. It takes an hour to go there, and another hour to come back," she said hesitantly. The house is retired, rent a house in the middle of the two universities, so that you don't have to get up early every morning..."

"Need not."

He stopped her with a smile, "This house is very good, I like it very much."

Hui Yimei glanced at him.

Does he really like it?Or to accommodate her?
After all, it is only one street away from Herford University, where she studied. It is because of this that she can usually walk there in ten minutes...

"It's nice here, you see, I just met Mrs. Turkey who sells newspapers in the newsstand, and I just made friends with Mr. Scherff who sells live chickens at the farmers market, and you said you would move." Go..." He tried to pretend to be unhappy, but his happy expression betrayed him, "And the flowers our landlady put on the roof... I just fell in love with this place, and you said you wanted to move away ?”

Thinking that he knew that he had established a good relationship with the most enthusiastic and kind people in the local area as soon as he came, Hui Yi wanted to laugh inexplicably.

He was probably really happy that he said so many words in one breath.

"it is good."

Hui Yi said with a smile.

The two walked into the courtyard and went up to the fourth floor one after the other.

The entire rooftop is filled with the special aroma of rich mushroom chicken soup.

Hui Yimei took a deep breath, and hurried to the side of the small stove, lit the fire again, and cooked him again, but put the amphora on the stove again.

Although Lin Yuexian grew up in the eldest son of the Lin family, he is also an out-and-out son of a family.

He can't do housework at all.

That is to say, after arriving in England, he watched Hui Yimei do many things with his own eyes, and then imitated her, and he also did it in a decent way...

But he still doesn't know anything about cooking.

Hui Yimei still remembered that when he went out for a walk on the first day, he brought back a piece of beef bone, and he used that bone to cook a pot of fragrant soup, but she tasted it... It smells delicious, but when you taste it in your mouth, not to mention the smell of mutton, and it's salty and bitter!Later, she did not know how much water was added to dilute the salty taste of that pot of soup, but even a good pot of soup was useless.

Later, Lin Yuexian knew that to make soup, the bones or meat need to be splashed into the water first, after the splashing of the water, put a piece of ginger that has been washed and scraped off the skin, then add water, and then put it on the stove to boil, and it takes time to boil. Note that the water cannot dry up.

As for the condiments, he didn't dare to touch them again, he just waited for Hui Yimei to come back before adding them.

The chicken soup in the pot finally boiled away.

That movement also brought back Hui Yimei's thoughts.

She put a little salt in the soup, tested the taste, and then squinted her eyes contentedly.

The reason why she has stayed in England for nearly four years, but she never thought about settling here for a long time, is that the biggest reason is that until now, she still doesn't quite adapt to it.

Perhaps eating is one of the biggest obstacles?

Therefore, although home is not a very good memory for her, she still wants to go back to the piece of soil that belongs to her...

What a joy to be able to drink such delicious chicken soup right now!

Lin Yuexian had already taken off his coat. He was wearing a [-]% new white shirt, rolled up the lining, and moved the bowls and chopsticks to the small table in the corridor; then, he brought two more loaves of bread.

Hui Yimei put the soup pot on the small table, and used another amphora to cook broccoli in boiling water; then, she turned down the heat in the stove, and put the kettle filled with cold water on the stove to boil water.

Then, the two of them sat down around the small table facing each other, sipping the delicious mushroom stewed chicken soup and nibbling on the hard and cold bread.

"Lin Ziqian, don't think broccoli is bad, it's a vegetable, you must eat it." Seeing that he just tore the hard bread into pieces and threw it into a bowl to eat with chicken soup, Huiyi couldn't help reminding her .

He said "hmm".

But he still didn't touch the broccoli.

Hui Yimei couldn't bear it anymore.

She ladles a large spoonful of broccoli into his bowl.

Lin Yuexian tried his best to hold back his smile.

He really doesn't like broccoli, it tastes weird.

But she was insistent.

On his and her tables, there is a vegetable every day, sometimes tomatoes, sometimes potato slices, sometimes cucumber slices, sometimes broccoli...

But he didn't understand whether it was because of the seasoning here, or the taste of these vegetables was weird, anyway, he didn't like any of the vegetables here.

But he likes it.

——The feeling of being cared about by her, watched by her, managed by her...

Even though he didn't like the vegetables here, he ate all the broccoli she put in his bowl.

Lin Yuexian had a big appetite, and Hui Yimei's appetite was not small; the two ate slowly, and except for some broccoli left, the others were basically finished.

Hui Yimei started to clean up the mess at the dinner table, while Lin Yuexian went to make two cups of hot tea.

This is their common living habit.

——Drink green tea early in the morning and black tea after meals.

After Mei Hui tidied up, she opened the curtain and entered the house.

The warm lights were already on in the room. Lin Yuexian was sitting on the side of the big desk, reading a book, with a cup of misty hot tea beside him.

There was also a cup of hot black tea where she was accustomed to sitting.

Hui Yimei has lived and studied in England alone since she was 16 years old.

It is undeniable that every night she spent here before was deserted and miserable.

Living alone, I will never spend too much time on eating and drinking. I always save as much as I can, but sometimes it is not to save money, but most of the time it is to save trouble...

But it's different now.

A night accompanied by someone, a full hot meal and hot soup, a bright and warm lamp, a cup of mellow hot tea, a good book that makes people obsessed...

Such a night is wonderful and has no regrets.

The corners of her mouth curled up involuntarily.

Holding the cup and taking a sip of hot tea carefully, she picked up the book that she hadn't finished last night.

A sip of tea, a page of a book.

When the cup of tea was exhausted, she couldn't help turning her eyes to Lin Yuexian who was sitting beside her.

He was also looking at the book in his hand obsessively.

For some reason, Hui Yi couldn't move her eyes when she looked at Lin Yuexian who was so focused.

His eyes are persistent and serious.

Following his gaze, she looked at the thick stack of professional books on his side.

Hui Yi's eyebrows widened!
With just a glance at the cover of the book, Hui Yimei knew that those were professional books on machinery, and those uncommon professional words on the cover made Hui Yimei feel that she didn't understand it very well...

But he watched it with gusto.

She looked up at him again with complicated emotions.

It was because she had lived a new life, she had a sincere love for literature and history, and she cherished time very much, so it took her five years to go abroad when she was reborn at the age of 11.At least in the eyes of her brothers, her studies are considered very good, and they are willing to support her because of this.

But Lin Yuexian...

Thinking about it, at least in terms of learning, even if I have been a human being in two lifetimes, I can't compare to him.

The lights in the room suddenly went out without warning.

The two were startled.

There was already a commotion outside the house and in the street.

Hui Yimei hurriedly said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter, it's a power outage... There used to be a power outage here, but I forgot to buy candles, I'll buy them tomorrow... It's getting late now, just take a rest, you still need candles tomorrow Get up early."

Lin Yuexian let out a "hmm".

In the darkness, Hui Yimei heard the sound of packing up the books.

She couldn't help persuading, "Don't collect the books, there is still a teacup on the table, if the cup is knocked over, it would be a pity to break the book..."

He whispered, "...OK."

Lin Yuexian stood up, walked to the window in the dark, put away the curtains, and opened the window.

The faint moonlight penetrated into the room, and the furniture in the room became hazy.

Lin Yuexian lifted the curtain and went out.

Hui Yimei sat in the dark for a long time, until her pupils adapted to the light in the room, she stood up on the chair and walked slowly towards her bed.

She just sat by the bed when Lin Yuexian opened the door and came in.

"Yi Mei?"

He called out to her.

"I'm going to rest." She replied.

He said, "...You can rest after soaking your feet."

Hui Yi raised her eyebrows, "Stop soaking, it's too dark, let's talk about it tomorrow."

He walked towards her slowly.

In the darkness, Hui Yimei couldn't see his appearance clearly at all, and only saw a tall and blurry figure slowly squatting in front of her...

She suddenly heard a soft bang.

Hui Yimei immediately realized that it was the sound of an enamel basin that she usually used to soak her feet touching the ground!
Lin Yuexian fumbled and put a dry towel in her hand.

"You soak your feet! Call me when you're done soaking, and I'll bring the water out again."

"It's really not necessary..."

"The water has already been poured. I tried it, and it's not too hot."

"Lin Ziqian..."

"what?"

"Nothing, thank you."

They also have good intentions, brought you the water for washing your feet, and even delivered the cloth to wipe your feet...then don't worry about it anymore.

Hui Yimei thanked him softly, fumbled to remove her socks, and carefully put her feet into the enamel basin filled with hot water.

In such a dark night where you can't see your fingers, I don't know how he blended the cold water and hot water to such a suitable temperature...

The continuous heat spread to her whole body through her feet, Hui Yimei sighed comfortably.

When the water in the basin gradually cooled down, she raised her feet and stepped on the edge of the basin lightly, and wiped her feet dry with a dry towel.

Lin Yuexian probably heard the noise she made, and walked over in the dark again, took the towel in her hand, squatted down again, and found her footbath.

"Lin Ziqian, thank you." She thanked him again.

He didn't speak, and went out cautiously with the basin.

Hui Yimei lay on the bed, wrapping herself tightly with the quilt.

Now she is warm all over...

Lin Yuexian went outside to pour water and came in. He bolted the door behind his back, and then made a rustling sound, probably undressing and getting ready to go to bed.

Hui Yimei lay on the bed and saw the big tree outside the window being swayed by the wind.

For the first time, she felt that the shadow of the big tree was shone on the floor of the house by the moonlight. Although it was shaking all the time, it didn't look like a ghost at all!

Hui Yimei sighed comfortably.

I like this warm and safe feeling...
