Chapter 117 Set off home
Maybe because of the hangover, Xie Yan slept until noon the next morning, which was a rare occurrence for him. When he woke up, he felt listless and had no energy at all.
He leaned on Tang Man's shoulder and rubbed it gently again and again. "My wife has a headache and stomachache."
"You deserve it. Who told you to drink so much?" Tang Man retorted unhappily, stood up and left the room without looking back.
Oh no! It's over. My wife is angry because she was drunk last night and doesn't want to pay attention to him anymore.
Xie Yan leaned on the stool with an innocent look on his face. He shouldn't have given face to anyone. He drank one cup after another, and everyone felt refreshed. But now he had a headache and stomachache. The worst thing was that his wife was irritated and ignored him.
Just when someone was still in regret, footsteps were heard outside. He raised his head and looked at the door. "Wife, I was wrong. I promise, I will never drink so much again."
Tang Man walked to the table and handed the bowl in her hand to Xie Yan, "Drink it."
Xie Yan lowered his head and drank a sip of the water in the bowl. "Wife, what is this? It's so sweet."
"Poison." Tang Man responded lightly, sat down on the recliner beside him, picked up the book and began to read.
Xie Yan lowered his head and drank the water in the bowl in one breath. He then fell over and pressed on Tang Man, rubbing his head against her while pretending to be in pain and shouting, "It hurts, my wife, the poison has taken effect. My stomach hurts. I'm going to die."
Tang Man rolled her eyes and slapped Xie Yan on the back, "Are you childish?"
"How can I be childish? I'm just acting with my wife!" Xie Yan smiled and got off Tang Man, but his head was still lazily resting on her shoulder. "What on earth was that just now, my wife? It tasted quite good."
Tang Man no longer deliberately kept a straight face and replied in a gentle tone, "I mixed the hangover soup myself."
"My wife is amazing. I am so lucky to have married such a virtuous and gentle wife."
Tang Man shook her head helplessly. "Don't be so talkative. I made some porridge. Go and have some. We'll go to Grandma Zhang's house this afternoon."
"Okay!" Xie Yan responded immediately, stood up and went to the kitchen.
Although Tang Man didn't know how to cook other things, she knew how to make porridge. In the morning, she cooked porridge with the leftover rice from last night. She also added some lean meat and vegetables into it, and then added a little salt and some lard before serving.
The porridge cooked in this way is quite delicious even without any vegetables. In the real world, this is how Tang Man would make breakfast when she didn’t like to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
After Xie Yan had breakfast, he started making lunch in the kitchen.
After the two of them finished their lunch, Xie Yan was already full of energy. Tang Man put the three boxes of cigarettes and two boxes of malted milk that he bought yesterday as well as some meat and vegetables into the backpack, and the two of them went to Zhangjia Village together.
It was a rare day when the sun came out. Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, and a group of old ladies and uncles sat at the entrance of the village chatting and basking in the sun.
Seeing two elderly people sitting in the crowd from a distance, Tang Man took Xie Yan and walked over quickly, "Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, hello, grandpas and grandmas."
A group of elderly people all smiled and greeted the two people, "Xiao Xie and Xiao Tang are here to see your Grandpa Zhang and Grandma Zhang."
"Yes!" Tang Man nodded with a smile.
"Nizi." Grandma Zhang stood up and waved to Tang Man.
Tang Man ran over with a smile and supported Old Mrs. Zhang, and Xie Yan also quickly went over to support Grandpa Zhang.
The four people said something to the old people at the entrance of the village, and walked back to Grandpa Zhang's new house with a smile.
After getting some hot water for the two of them, Mrs. Zhang sat down next to Tang Man with a smile on her face. “How come you have time to come here this afternoon?”
"I came to see you and Grandpa Zhang. Xie Yan and I were admitted to university, and we will be returning to Beijing in the next two days." Tang Man said as he took out cigarettes and malted milk from his backpack and placed them on the table.
"You bought so much again. I haven't eaten what I bought last time yet!"
Old Mrs. Zhang knew that Tang Man and Xie Yan were going to take the college entrance examination, so she was not surprised that they were leaving. However, she felt reluctant to let them go, so she did not mention the matter.
On the other hand, Mr. Zhang on the side said with a smile, "It's good to go back. Beijing is a big city. Your life will definitely be better there than it is now."
Xie Yan said, "Grandpa Zhang, Grandma Zhang, you should take care of your health!"
Mr. Zhang nodded and said, "Yes, don't worry about us. Take care of yourself and study hard. Only by studying hard can you have a bright future."
The two of them talked with the two old people for a long time. In the evening, Xie Yan went to the kitchen to cook. The two of them stayed with the two old people until dinner was over before leaving.
After leaving Mr. Zhang's house, the two went to Secretary Zhang's house again and left their home phone number with Secretary Zhang. If the two elderly people needed anything, they could call them. They might not be able to help with other things, but they could still help with money.
When the two returned to Xiaowan Village, a group of children were playing at the entrance of the village. Tang Man called a few people and asked them to call all the children in the village to the clinic. When everyone arrived, Tang Man took out the candies and biscuits bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, as well as the apples taken out from the space, and distributed some to everyone.
After seeing what needed to be seen and sending what needed to be sent, the two began to prepare for their departure. Before leaving, they had to go to the commune to handle the follow-up matters.
All the formalities were completed in one day, and the next morning after breakfast, the two packed their luggage and prepared to leave.
Everyone in the village came out to see them off, even many educated youth came. After saying goodbye to everyone one by one, they took the ox cart arranged by Zhou Yonglin to the commune, and then took a bus from the commune to the county town.
It was already afternoon when the two arrived at the county town. They first found a guesthouse near the train station to put down their luggage, then went to the train station to buy train tickets, called their families respectively, and then went to the black market behind the station.
After a stroll around the black market, he spent more than two hundred yuan and bought more than twenty old items. Nothing he bought this time was valuable. Of course, it was only Xie Yan who thought they were not valuable. They would definitely be able to be sold for a high price in the future.
After leaving the black market, the two went to Zhou Linyi's home.
After more than a month of treatment, Zhou Linyi's condition has improved a lot and he looks much more energetic. Xie Yan took Zhou Linyi's pulse and adjusted the prescription for him according to his condition.
Xie Yan handed the prescription to Zhou Linyi and said, "Please take the medicine according to this prescription and take it for another half a year. Then you can go for a comprehensive checkup. Once you are fully recovered, you don't need to take the medicine anymore."
The old man smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor. Otherwise, you can give us your home address and we will come to you directly in half a year."
Zhou Linyi also looked at Xie Yan with anticipation. Compared to the doctors in the hospital, they were more willing to trust Xie Yan.
Xie Yan smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, we have to go back to Beijing tomorrow, so we can't help you with your medical treatment."
The old man was a little disappointed, but he still nodded and asked with a smile, "Did you get the quota to return to the city?"
Xie Yan shook his head and said, "No, we are admitted to university and we are going back to Beijing to study."
Zhou Linyi became interested and asked with a smile, "Peking University or Normal University?"
