The general's wife knows medicine

Tang Peipei remained calm and said to Tang Yan, "Sister, I have nothing to do these days. Can I help you find these medicines? If I don't know, I can help you go to the county town to buy them."

"How can I feel embarrassed?" Tang Yan looked up at Tang Peipei.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about between us sisters." Tang Peipei smiled.

"But..." Tang Yan was still a little hesitant.

"Sister, you are pregnant now and you have to take care of aunt, and your brother-in-law is at work. Just leave this matter to me, and I promise to take care of it." Tang Peipei promised.

Tang Yan thought about it, went back to the room, took out the purse that Tang Peipei gave her in the morning and handed it to Tang Peipei.

"Sister?" Tang Peipei looked puzzled.

"This is the fifty taels you lent me this morning. Since you want to help me buy medicine, I'll give you this money." Tang Yan stretched out her hand to take the purse.

After hearing what she said, Tang Peipei took the purse, took out thirty taels from it, and handed the rest of the money back to Tang Yan.

"Thirty taels is enough to buy medicine. The remaining twenty taels are for me to buy good supplements for you and your aunt."

Tang Yan looked at the purse in her hand, not knowing whether she should return it to Tang Peipei.

This was twenty taels of silver. She knew she shouldn't accept it, but both her mother-in-law and she really needed nutrition.

"Okay, sister, I'll go back first. I'll bring all the medicine to you when I get it." Tang Peipei left without waiting for Tang Yan to answer.

Tang Yan looked at the purse in her hand and swore that she would repay Tang Peipei well in the future.

When Tang Peipei returned, she didn't meet those two people she hated, and she felt relieved.

"Are you back? Let's get ready for dinner."

There were no ox carts coming to the town in the afternoon, so Tang Peipei walked back.

It was already dinner time when I got home.

"Okay, I'm here." Tang Peipei fetched some water, washed her hands, and went to the kitchen to help serve the food on the table.

"Mom, today's meal is quite rich!" After walking for more than half an hour, Tang Peipei was already starving.

Now looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, my appetite is aroused.

"Isn't today a holiday? Of course we have to eat better." Tang's mother brought the last soup to the table with a smile.

"That's right. Thank you for your hard work, mom." Tang Peipei said with a smile.

"This girl, is she being too sweet today?" Tang's mother said to Nanny Yuan with a smile.

Nanny Yuan also said, "That may be because I put too much sugar in the Laba porridge at noon today. Now my mouth is sweet."

"Okay, eat quickly. Mom has made so many delicious food. Eat more, Madam Yuan." As he said this, he picked up a piece of braised pork and gave it to Madam Yuan.

"Oh, you're here to shut me up." Nanny Yuan smiled and picked up the braised pork and started eating.

"Today's braised pork is great, delicious and fragrant." said Nanny Yuan.

"I made this according to Pei Pei's method. I put the spices that Pei Pei bought in it. It really tastes much better." He picked up a piece of braised pork and said, "I don't know what book Pei Pei read, but he actually teaches people how to cook. It tastes pretty good."

Tang Peipei interjected: "It's a book specifically about food." I saw a food encyclopedia in my previous life.

"These recipes are all handed down from our ancestors. How come there is such a book for sale?" Nanny Yuan had indeed worked in a wealthy family and was not easily fooled.

Tang Peipei...how could I have forgotten this? What a mistake!

"Well, it wasn't a recipe, it just said some of his experience in tasting dishes, saying that adding spices can actually increase the flavor of the dishes. I wrote it down."

Tang Peipei prayed for herself in her heart, hoping that Nanny Yuan would let her go. She was not very good at making up stories.

"So that's how it is. I didn't expect that adding spices would make the food taste so different. The meat tastes much better."

In fact, Nanny Yuan was still a little skeptical about what Tang Peipei said, but thinking that there was no need for Tang Peipei to lie to them about this matter, she didn't say anything more.

Tang Peipei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and ate her meal happily.

I was frightened just now, eat more to calm down! It seems that next time when Nanny Yuan is around, I should be more careful and not say the wrong thing, otherwise it will be troublesome if I can't explain it.

"Peipei, the New Year's Eve is coming in half a month. I want to go back to my hometown." Tang's mother suddenly said.

Tang Peipei learned from the original owner's memory that Tang's mother's hometown was in Taohua Village, which was relatively close to the county town.

It is more than ten miles away from Tangjia Village and takes about an hour and a half to walk.

Because it was far away, Tang's mother only went back about five or six times after she married into Tangjia Village. The last time she went back was five years ago.

They live in town now, and it takes about an hour to walk from here.

Tang Peipei nodded, "Okay, then I'll buy some cloth for grandma and grandpa and make them new clothes. And my cousin Xinyu should be ten years old this year, right? It's the age when she loves beauty, so I'll buy her some pearl flowers or something, she should like it."

Tang Peipei remembered that although the original owner did not go there very often, every time he went, his grandparents and uncles and aunts would prepare a lot of good things to entertain them.

The original owner was six or seven years older than Lu Xinyu. When he went there before, Lu Xinyu was still very young and was rolling on the ground.

The original owner disliked Lu Xinyu for being dirty and didn't like to play with her, but Lu Xinyu always liked to follow behind the original owner.

Hearing Tang Peipei say that she was going to prepare a gift for Lu Xinyu, Tang's mother couldn't help but sigh, it seems that she has really grown up.

He smiled at Tang Peipei with relief.

Tang Peipei said embarrassedly: "I was young and ignorant before. When I go to my grandpa's house, I will prepare more gifts for my little cousin and apologize to her."

Tang's mother nodded. "Okay, it's rare that you admit your mistake. Then I'll leave the preparation of the gift to you. Choose some nice patterns for your aunt. She's only twenty-six or twenty-seven, so she can wear some pretty clothes."

Tang Peipei: "Okay, got it. I'll go directly to the store and choose the floral fabric produced by Brother Zeng's Dyeing Workshop."

Tang's mother was very satisfied with Tang Peipei's decision, "Okay."

After the family had dinner, Tang Peipei asked her mother to rest while she cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them.

This was the downside of ancient times: there was no detergent, and oil stains were very difficult to clean.

Tang Peipei thought it would be great if she had some detergent.

While washing dishes, I was thinking about how to make dishwashing liquid.

But after washing the dishes, I still had no idea what to do.

Tang Peipei washed the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, and filled hot water to wash her face and soak her feet.

After walking for such a long time, soaking your feet is so comfortable!

When Nanny Yuan came, she saw Tang Peipei sitting on the bed, leaning against the quilt specially placed behind her, squinting her eyes, and soaking her feet with a look of enjoyment.

"Peipei." Nanny Yuan called out.

Tang Peipei opened her eyes and saw that it was Nanny Yuan. She quickly cleaned up and put the foot basin aside.

"Madame Yuan, come in, what's going on?"

"It's nothing. I just heard you talking about going back to your hometown today. I thought I haven't been back for a long time, so I wanted to go home and visit." Nanny Yuan felt a little embarrassed.

Although Tang Peipei's family never treated her as a servant, she was a slave after all. Unless the master took the initiative to say so, she had no right to ask to go home on her own.

But when she heard Tang Peipei and her daughter talking about going home today, it reminded her of her own parents. She didn't know how the two old people were doing now, it had been twenty years!
