If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!
Chapter 135 A Friend is Coming
With the help of villagers from Liujia Village, Xiaoliu Village and several nearby villages, the expansion of Liu Mansion is about to be completed.
After dinner that day, Doctor Wang, who had been keeping an eye on the progress of the project, finally had the mood to sit down and drink tea and chat.
"Master, you've lost weight due to the hard work recently. Ask Aunt Li to make more delicious food for you to replenish your body. The house should be completed in the next two days, so don't work too hard." Meixiang looked at Doctor Wang, who was gradually losing weight, and said with concern.
Doctor Wang laughed and replied, "It's not as exaggerated as you say. I'm in better spirits recently. Don't mention the days I've been busy with them. It seems that people still need to move."
"You're right. Although it's a bit harder, my spirits have improved." Nanny Chen smiled and continued, "Young lady, you see, your complexion has improved a lot recently. It's better to have more people around to keep busy and lively."
Meixiang smiled and nodded. Everyone has been busy recently, but they are indeed busy and happy.
"Just keep an eye on it. Master, are your friends going to arrive soon? Tell me if there's anything missing. I'll have them prepare it first."
"It's about time these days. The courtyard has been built. After a few days of ventilation, we can move in directly. The furniture and other things have also been prepared. As for daily necessities, see which of the two is free and ask him to go to the capital." Doctor Wang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then added: "None of us old friends are picky people, so the items don't need to be too exquisite, just about anything will do."
Meixiang smiled and nodded, and told the mistress standing behind her to write it down. Then she turned to Nanny Chen and said, "Mammy, please take some time to go to the dyeing workshop across the street to see if there is any suitable cloth. Summer clothes also need to be prepared in advance. There are many children in the family and they grow fast. We need to change new clothes every season. This is a big project."
"By the way, Mammy, please discuss with Aunt Li whether we need to add a few more people to the kitchen. There are more and more people in the family now, and shopping, cooking, and cleaning every day are quite a task."
Nanny Chen's smile widened when she heard this. This was Meixiang's personal charm. She didn't ask for much of herself, but she could put herself in the shoes of everyone around her and anticipate and arrange every little detail, which made people feel warm from the bottom of their hearts.
"Don't worry, young lady. Aunt Li and I can still handle it now, and we have Xiao Si and Xiao Qi to help. It won't be too late to see how the situation develops when the doctors arrive later." Nanny Chen replied, then thought for a moment and turned to look at Doctor Wang and instructed, "Doctor Wang, if your friends have any extra needs or dietary restrictions, please let us know in advance to avoid causing unnecessary misunderstandings to the guests."
Doctor Wang stroked his beard with his right hand, nodded with a smile and replied, "That's no problem. When I see them, I'll ask them about their personal preferences, living habits, and so on, and I'll tell you for sure. Hahaha, I never thought I'd see those old guys again in my lifetime. I thought the last time we parted was a farewell forever."
It is a great pleasure to have the moon coming from afar. Doctor Wang has obviously looked much happier these days. He eats well and sleeps well. Now he will have an old friend to accompany him and do meaningful things together instead of eating and waiting to die at home. It is really refreshing.
Meixiang turned the Buddhist beads on her left wrist and watched Doctor Wang shaking his long beard happily. She was also happy in her heart. She understood the psychology of the elderly very well. They were not afraid of hardship or fatigue. What they feared most was that they would be considered as useless people who could only watch the sunrise and wait for the sunset to eat and drink every day. This was a fatal blow to a person who had been strong all his life.
"Master, your friends are about to arrive. They are national treasures. We should plan carefully for the future, right?"
"Oh, I would have forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it." Doctor Wang paused while stroking his beard, and leaned a little towards Meixiang. He anxiously confirmed, "Xiang girl, don't forget the promises you made when you asked me to write the letter. Keep them as soon as possible."
"What promise? Why don't I remember it?" Meixiang felt naughty when she saw Doctor Wang's anxious look, and asked pretending that she didn't remember.
"You, you girl, don't play dumb with me. You promised me good wine, good food and medical research, so I shamelessly wrote a letter to invite them. You can't let me break my promise and ruin my reputation for life! Humph!"
The servants sitting in the room held their tea bowls and smiled as they watched the bickering master and disciple. Recently everyone had been busy all the time and it was rare for them to have this moment of relaxation, so the atmosphere seemed particularly warm.
Seeing that Doctor Wang was getting so anxious that his face started to turn red and his neck started to thicken, the beautiful woman glared at her daughter who was looking proud and said, "Xiang'er is being naughty again, isn't she? Look how anxious your master is! He deserves to be beaten."
"Hahaha, Master, why are you so easily amused? When did you become so incapable of taking such a small joke? Look at the whole room, you're the only one who takes it seriously, aren't you?" Meixiang had to restrain her little mischief when she saw her mother had spoken. She patted her thigh and said coquettishly to Doctor Wang.
"Hmph!" Doctor Wang glared at Meixiang fiercely, snorted proudly, and turned his back to Meixiang.
"Alright, alright, please forgive me, Master. I just saw that everyone has been a little too tense lately, so I want to relax a little."
"Then you are making fun of your master, an old man like me, right? Others are all wearing colorful clothes to entertain their parents, but you are doing the opposite."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, this funny master and apprentice. Feng Laoliu and Feng Yijia, who were sitting at the bottom, were participating in such a post-meal chat for the first time. Their eyes kept rolling around, looking at this and then staring at that. As expected, his grandfather and parents did not lie to him. This Liuzhou Prefecture is much more fun than the capital. Ever since he discovered sweet potatoes and millet and received great praise from everyone in the Liu Mansion, he has never felt so capable.
In the past few days, he has been running around the back mountain with Chen Da and Fat Tiger. With his deliberate flattery, the two little guys have been much gentler to him than at the beginning. The back mountain of Liuzhou Mansion is really big, and the food in Liu Mansion is really fragrant. Well, the tea is also delicious. Now even if he wants to go back, he is reluctant to go back and must stay here.
"Brother Situ Shi, what is your friend who helps make scalpels doing recently?"
