Back When My Husband Was Poor Chapter 37
byChapter 38 Chapter 37 As strong as an ox
Li Nan’s smile froze on his face.
His lips moved, as if he wanted to call him “Mr. Jiang” again, but he didn’t have the guts to say it.
Grandma Han was deaf and had not heard the sound. She came out at this time with a smile on her face and said, “Hey, this is Xiaoqiu’s friend too. Come in quickly. You had a hard time on the road.”
Li Nan’s eyes paused on Jiang Tingnan’s face, and he quickly smiled and said, “Hello, grandma.”
“Oh, okay, okay.”
Jiang Tingnan turned to look at Grandma Han, her expression softened, “Grandma, go and have a rest. I’ll make breakfast.”
Grandma Han quickly said, “It’s not hard, I’m used to it.”
The atmosphere in the courtyard finally calmed down, and Han Qiu hurried over and said, “Li Nan, let me take you to the room to put your luggage first.”
Li Nan was no longer so arrogant at this time and nodded repeatedly, “Okay, okay.”
After everyone had left, Ruan Yan slowly came out of the room. He came back too late after watching the moon last night, so he was still too sleepy to open his eyes. Not only could he not open his eyes, he also had difficulty breathing.
Jiang Tingnan glanced at him, walked over helplessly and pushed Ruan Yan into the house.
Ruan Yan was so sleepy that he stared in confusion, “What?”
“My little ancestor is wearing his clothes backwards.”
Ruan Yan muttered, “No wonder I can’t breathe.”
After returning to the room, Jiang Tingnan hugged Ruan Yan and helped him change clothes and wash up. Ruan Yan put his chin on Jiang Tingnan’s shoulder and pouted, “Here comes the mentally retarded one.”
Jiang Tingnan bumped him up and said, “No swearing.”
Then he said, “Well, here we come.”
Ruan Yan couldn’t hold it back, fell on the bed and laughed.
Jiang Tingnan was helpless and funny, “Get up and go have breakfast.”
Ruan Yan then jumped up and down.
He ate too much last night and he wasn’t very hungry yet, but he only kept the idea until the meal was served.
There was still leftover chicken from last night. He tore up the casserole porridge and sprinkled a handful of green vegetables, as well as crispy radishes that grandma had pickled herself, and cucumbers cut into strips. Ruan Yan raised his arms and cheered, “I can drink two big bowls!”
Grandma Han laughed from ear to ear after hearing this, “Okay, okay, drink more.”
Jiang Tingnan couldn’t do anything to him. Yan Yan was like this. The scar was healed and he forgot about the pain. He had an upset stomach after eating too much last night and forgot about it.
As soon as they set up the dishes, Li Nan and the others came out. Ruan Yan glanced at them, snorted coldly, and said nothing.Unexpectedly, Li Nan and the others took the initiative to come over and talk. “Ruan Yan, you guys arrived last night.”
Ruan Yan said coldly “Yeah”.
Li Nan smiled again and spoke to Ruan Yan, but his eyes kept falling on Jiang Tingnan, “You and Mr. Jiang are a perfect match. I saw the news that you are getting married soon on the Internet. I wish you all the best.”
Ruan Yan raised his eyebrows, as if he had realized something.
Sure enough, then Li Nan said, “Mr. Jiang, my cousin is in our company. He said that the company is very good and feels like home…”
Before he finished his compliments, Ruan Yan next to him burst into laughter.
He almost choked, and when he saw both people turning to look at him, he quickly waved his hands, “It’s okay, it’s okay, you continue.”
Jiang Tingnan patted his back and said, “Slow down.”
In this case, Li Nan couldn’t say anything else. He gritted his teeth and forced a smile, “Is everything okay, Ruan Yan, then…you guys eat first.”
After they left, Ruan Yan laughed so much that he almost fell into Jiang Tingnan’s arms, “Hahaha Jiang Tingnan, I’ve been working on this for a long time, but I’m here for you.”
Jiang Tingnan couldn’t do anything to him, so he helped the man upright, picked up the porridge on the table and blew him to cool it, and said in a calm tone, “I’m not a garbage shelter. Can all cats and dogs be allowed in?”
This kind of thing has never happened before.
Especially when they first got married, Ruan Yan’s friends heard that he and Jiang Tingnan were married. Regardless of whether they were close or distant, they all shamelessly called Ruan Yan. What they meant was that they wanted to join Jiang Tingnan’s company.
Ruan Yan said casually, “Then just submit your resume.”
The person on the other side was choked. What he said was that if the company was so easy to get into, would he even call Ruan Yan?
The person on the other side said shamelessly, “We are already so familiar with each other, please tell Mr. Jiang, it’s just a matter of one sentence.”
How familiar is it?Ruan Yan rolled his eyes. Is it familiar that he can’t contact him even once a year?
He took a bite of the apple and said, “Okay, wait until I have a chance to see Jiang Tingnan. You don’t know, he is busy. I have to make an appointment in advance to see him. Moreover, he has a bad temper. What I say may not work, and he doesn’t listen to me.”
The friend was silent and finally hung up the phone.
At this moment, Jiang Tingnan, who was rumored to have a very bad temper, was rubbing Ruan Yan’s calves because Ruan Yan suddenly wanted to go for a morning jog in the morning and ended up getting cramps in his legs.
After hanging up the phone, Ruan Yan was still laughing. At the same time, he kicked Jiang Tingnan, “Tell me, am I your good wife?”
Jiang Tingnan didn’t dare to refute. He pinched his calf and coaxed, “Yes, yes, this company can’t survive without you.”
Ruan Yan blinked and suddenly asked him, “Husband, what if I have a really good friend who wants to ask you to join the company?”
Jiang Tingnan said calmly, “Is there anything you want me to say that I won’t agree to?”
Not to mention Ruan Yan has one friend, even if he has one hundred and eighty, Jiang Tingnan can arrange for him to join. At the worst, he will set up a special department.
Ruan Yan was smiling there, and he rushed over to Jiang Tingnan and gave him a kiss.
“I don’t know how. They really think I’m stupid.”
I didn’t expect that this kind of thing would happen again after such a long time. This time it was more direct and I didn’t even act.
Jiang Tingnan had no interest in anyone or anything other than Ruan Yan. He fed Ruan Yan a sip of porridge and said, “Don’t be upset because of them. Grandma is going to work in the fields later. I will follow to help. You and Han Qiu and the others go to play.”
Ruan Yan quickly said, “Then I want to be with you too!”
“What are you going for? Grandma just said that there is a market today. You go and take a stroll.”
Ruan Yan’s heart suddenly moved again, and he was a little wavering, “Then, I, then I will come back early to help you.”
Jiang Tingnan smiled and said, “Okay, be good.”
After dinner, Ruan Yan took the initiative to help clear the table. Hearing that Jiang Tingnan wanted to work in the fields with his grandma, grandma repeatedly refused, “How can that be done? You are here to have fun. Hey, you can’t do it.”
Jiang Tingnan smiled, “What’s the point? I don’t like to play. Just let Yanyan and the others go. I’ll work with you, just to stretch my muscles.”
Li Nan’s two friends were probably tired and went back to sleep after eating. Li Nan, on the other hand, heard that Jiang Tingnan was going to work and quickly followed him with tools, “Mr. Jiang, I’m with you.”
Jiang Tingnan had no expression on his face and pretended not to see him.
There is not much work in the fields, just picking wild vegetables with grandma, weeding and so on.
Jiang Tingnan had never done any work before, so he got started quickly. He didn’t like to talk when he was working. He bent down and worked very quickly, but Li Nan kept chattering next to him.
Watching Li Nan once again cut off edible wild vegetables as weeds, Jiang Tingnan’s patience ran out. He straightened up slightly and looked at Li Nan with a cold face, “Are you here to work?”
Li Nan didn’t hear the sarcasm in the words at all, and still smiled, “Mr. Jiang, Yanyan and I are classmates. We usually have a good relationship in school. I wonder if I am lucky enough to be able to work in Mr. Jiang’s company after graduation.”
He was a little closer, and the smell of tobacco oil came over. Jiang Tingnan frowned, “You smoke?”
Li Nan nodded, and looked like he had reacted. He quickly took out a cigarette, but before he could take out the cigarette, Jiang Tingnan’s cold voice came first, “Stay away from me, don’t infect me with the smell.”
When he turned around, he was scolded by his wife again.
Li Nan froze in place.
Jiang Tingnan looked at him quietly, “If I were you, I would be honest and stop annoying people, unless you want your cousin to be fired next week.”
“Also, can you call Yanyan?”
…
“Yanyan!” Han Qiu pointed to the stall owner and asked, “Do you want to eat bacon? You can stew rice when you go home in the evening.”
Ruan Yan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
No matter what Han Qiu asked him, Ruan Yan kept nodding his head, and finally returned with a jar of rice wine.
Ruan Yan still has lingering fears about drinking too much last time.It was only after Han Qiu said that the wine was not very strong that he felt confident about buying it.
There were clothes sellers at the market, but they were their traditional clothes, mainly navy blue, which looked beautiful and paired with silver jewelry. They made a loud sound. In the end, Ruan Yan bought two sets in one go and wanted to go back and wear them with Jiang Tingnan.
The two of them bought a bunch of things and finally took a taxi to go back together.
Ruan Yan was thinking about her husband. After returning home, he put down his things and wanted to go find Jiang Tingnan. Han Qiu smiled and said, “Go ahead and call them back for lunch. I’ll make some cold noodles. They’ll be ready soon.”
“Okay!”
Ruan Yan ran away with a big hat on.
When they arrived in the field, grandma was enjoying the shade under the trees while Jiang Tingnan and Li Nan were working. I don’t know what happened to the two of them. Li Nan was almost 800 meters away from Jiang Tingnan. Ruan Yan stood on the slope and called Jiang Tingnan’s name loudly. Jiang Tingnan raised his head and smiled. When he saw Ruan Yan waving to him, he simply put away his tools and walked over.
Under the shade of the tree, Ruan Yan handed the water in his hand to Jiang Tingnan to drink, and then stood on tiptoe with a wet towel to wipe Jiang Tingnan’s sweat.
Jiang Tingnan lowered his head in cooperation.
Ruan Yan suddenly laughed, “Do we look like that kind of local literature?”
Jiang Tingnan raised his eyebrows.
Ruan Yan suddenly leaned over and whispered, “Brother.”
Jiang Tingnan paused and coughed suddenly.
Ruan Yan blinked.
I don’t know if it was because of the hot weather or other reasons, but Jiang Tingnan felt his mouth was dry for a while. He gasped twice and wanted to kiss Ruan Yan directly.
I really owe you for seducing him again.
Just at this time, grandma stood up and walked towards them.
“Is it time to go back to eat?”
Ruan Yan quickly said, “Yes, yes, let’s go back quickly.”
The three of them walked back. Ruan Yan frowned after walking halfway, “Did I forget something?”
Jiang Tingnan held his hand and walked back, “It’s okay.”
Li Nan, who had just finished mowing the grass in the field and was so tired that he could barely straighten his back, raised his head and said, “Where’s the person?”
A few people returned to the yard, and Han Qiu was just about to cook the noodles. It was said to be noodles, but it was actually a kind of flour that is special to them here. It is chewy and chewy. After being soaked in cold water, mixed with chili oil, balsamic vinegar, refreshing cucumber shreds, and sprinkled with sesame and peanuts, the fragrant Ruan Yan could lick the bowl clean.
It was the first time that Jiang Tingnan had such great doubts about his craftsmanship.
Ruan Yan is actually very picky about what he eats, and his appetite is small, like a kitten. No matter how many cooks he found, coaxed, and carefully raised, he never gained any weight.
However, I came here and had a delicious meal.
Halfway through the meal, Li Nan’s friends came out of the house. Only then did Ruan Yan remember what he had forgotten, “Hey, did we leave Li Nan there?”
Jiang Tingnan didn’t change his expression, “Now that you’re an adult, can you still throw it away?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the courtyard was pushed open, and Li Nan walked in with a sullen face, carrying a basket full of picked wild vegetables.
He was originally very angry, but when he entered the courtyard and saw the noodles on the table, his stomach immediately growled.
Li Nan didn’t have time to say anything, so he quickly sat down, picked up a bowl of noodles and started eating. I don’t know if it was because he was tired from working, but this bowl of noodles made him feel like he was going to cry.
Ruan Yan watched him wipe his tears after taking two bites, and wiped his tears after taking two bites. He couldn’t help but ask Jiang Tingnan in a low voice, “You don’t know how to hit him, do you?”
Jiang Tingnan was helpless, “Am I a very violent person?”
Ruan Yan muttered, “Anyway, he was very violent to me.”
Jiang Tingnan told him to shut up with his eyes.
After eating, Li Nan went back to work with his tools, and even brought his two friends over.
Ruan Yan was shocked, “He has changed his gender!”
“I don’t know.” Jiang Tingnan was not interested in others and pinched Ruan Yan’s ears. “Wherever you want to go this afternoon, I will accompany you.”
As expected, Ruan Yan diverted his attention for a moment, “Qiuqiu said there is a pond ahead, and I want to go fishing.”
Jiang Tingnan agreed, “Let’s go.”
The two men went to get the fishing net and bucket, and walked in the direction Han Qiu said.
Ruan Yan refused to walk properly, and soon Jiang Tingnan asked Jiang Tingnan to carry him on his back. Jiang Tingnan warned him not to put the fishing net on his head.
Ruan Yan argued, “How could I do such a shameless thing!”
Jiang Tingnan was skeptical.
On the way there, Ruan Yan also asked Jiang Tingnan to call Li Han.
In the video, he called Xiao Hei’s name.
As soon as Xiao Hei heard his little dad’s voice, he hurried over and squeezed in front of the camera. Li Han had no choice but to give up his position to him, muttering behind him, “If you don’t take him back, you will have to go to the hospital to see me.”
No one cares.
Ruan Yan smiled and said, “Xiao Hei, have you thought about your little daddy?”
Blackie meows at the camera.
“We will go back tomorrow, but we may not be able to pick you up until the day after tomorrow.” Regardless of whether Xiao Hei understood it or not, Ruan Yan muttered a lot, and finally moved the phone down, with the camera facing Jiang Tingnan, “Here, say hello to dad.”
Jiang Tingnan has been determined to be a good father since Xiao Hei rescued Ruan Yan. He had just adjusted his expression and thought he was showing a friendly smile, but when he looked at the camera, he only saw Xiao Hei’s figure turning away.
Jiang Tingnan, “…”
Li Han burst into laughter in the camera, “Hahahaha Jiang Tingnan, even your cats don’t like you.”
Then Xiao Hei jumped up and punched him twice.
Jiang Tingnan raised his hand and hung up.
Ruan Yan kept smiling on his back, “Jiang Tingnan, why does Xiao Hei hate you so much? Tell the truth, are you bullying him behind my back?”
Jiang Tingnan sneered coldly, “Will I bully a little eunuch?”
Ruan Yan patted him on the head to prevent him from saying that.
After a while, we arrived at the pond Han Qiu mentioned. It was not big, but the water looked quite clear. Ruan Yan touched it and said, “Wow, the water is quite cold.”
There was mud at the bottom of the pool. Ruan Yan was not willing to go down, so he ordered Jiang Tingnan to go down to fish.
He was directing vigorously from the shore, “Over there, over there.”
“Jiang Tingnan! Look to see if the thing next to your feet is a crab.”
Jiang Tingnan was ordered around, but in the end he simply stopped listening and bent down to catch the fish himself, making Ruan Yan almost jump off in his hurry.
“Sit down and don’t move.” Jiang Tingnan said, “The water is a bit cold.”
When Jiang Tingnan was a child, he went down to the river to catch fish, but at that time it was because he had no choice but to catch fish in exchange for money.
After Ruan Yan squatted on the shore for a while, he saw Jiang Tingnan coming up with a bucket. There were several fish in it, including the small crabs that Ruan Yan was shouting about just now.
“Wow, hubby, you are so awesome, you know how to do everything.”
When Ruan Yan praises others, he always says good things for free.
Like a kitten, he squatted by the bucket, studying whether this one was braised in brown sauce, that one was steamed, and the rest could be roasted and eaten.
There are also a few small crabs that can be kept in the fish tank.
Ruan Yan hesitated for a while, then Jiang Tingnan urged him, “It’s time to go, baby, the sky is getting cloudy, I’m afraid it’s going to rain.”
That’s what I said, but the rain in the mountains didn’t come in time. Halfway through the way back, the rain started falling, and it rained heavily.
The only straw hat the two of them had was placed on Ruan Yan by Jiang Tingnan. The road was even more difficult to walk in the rain. Jiang Tingnan simply picked up Ruan Yan and strode back.
Ruan Yan was still holding the bucket in his hand, and his free hand tried hard to block Jiang Tingnan’s head, but it was better than nothing.
When they returned to the yard, the two of them were soaked. Ruan Yan was better off and was being held by Jiang Tingnan. Jiang Tingnan was in a worse condition and looked like he had been fished out of the water.
Han Qiu saw the miserable condition of the two people and hurriedly made ginger soup for them to drink.
Jiang Tingnan first took off Ruan Yan’s wet clothes, washed him with hot water and wiped his body with a towel, then changed Ruan Yan into dry clothes before taking time to clean himself up.
Han Qiu made ginger soup, knocked on the door and put it outside.
Ruan Yan quickly went to bring it in.
“Quick, Jiang Tingnan, drink both bowls quickly.”
Jiang Tingnan had just changed his clothes, his hair was still wet, and he said in a bad mood, “Don’t be shameless, just go and drink. When I catch you, I’ll pour both bowls into you.”
Ruan Yan hates eating ginger the most. He feels like vomiting when he smells it, let alone letting him drink it.
Doesn’t this cost his life?
Ruan Yan was lying on the bed and refused to get up. In the end, he was dragged up by Jiang Tingnan and forced to drink most of the bowl of ginger soup. After finishing the drink, Jiang Tingnan quickly stuffed a piece of candy to him. Ruan Yan covered his mouth with tears in his eyes. He looked extremely pitiful.
But Jiang Tingnan was hard-hearted and did not pity him. Instead, he said coldly, “I will have another drink tonight.”
Ruan Yan collapsed on the bed.
The fish caught by the two people was delicious and became dinner.
But it wasn’t as perfect as Ruan Yan planned.
Grandma Han cooked fish soup. The milky white soup was very fresh. Ruan Yan drank a lot, but Li Nan drank more. When Ruan Yan looked over, he said confidently, “I’ve been working all day.”
Ruan Yan turned away speechlessly.
Jiang Tingnan, on the other hand, only took a few hasty bites.
Ruan Yan was a little worried, “Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
He wanted to touch Jiang Tingnan, but instead Jiang Tingnan held his hand, put it to his lips and kissed it, “I’m fine.”
Ruan Yan still felt uneasy. He stopped going out to play after eating and just stared at Jiang Tingnan in the room.
Jiang Tingnan was helpless, “I’m fine, I’m just a little tired.”
Ruan Yan held his chin, “How is that possible? You are as strong as a cow.”
Jiang Niu didn’t know what to say, so he could only wave to Ruan Yan to stop sitting and lie down next to him.
The two of us have never gone to bed so early when we were at home.
Ruan Yan leaned in Jiang Tingnan’s arms, thinking that he would leave tomorrow, and was still a little reluctant to leave. However, Xiao Hei was going to pick him up, and Jiang Tingnan’s company could not remain without someone in charge of the overall situation.
He sighed softly, “Jiang Tingnan, when can you retire? How about we go traveling around the world?”
Jiang Tingnan didn’t respond to him.
Ruan Yan looked up and found that Jiang Tingnan had fallen asleep at some point.
These days of hard work and travel, Jiang Tingnan has been taking care of him. Ruan Yan raised his head, kissed Jiang Tingnan’s chin, and fell asleep in his arms.
Until midnight.
Ruan Yan felt so hot, like he was holding a big stove. He kicked off the quilt and turned over. Then he felt something was wrong and sat up. The sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He reached out and touched Jiang Tingnan’s forehead, which was extremely hot.
Fever!!
Ruan Yan was so frightened that he called Jiang Tingnan’s name several times. Jiang Tingnan was sleeping too deeply, but he seemed to be subconsciously sensitive to Ruan Yan’s voice. He responded as soon as Ruan Yan called him.
Ruan Yan quickly put on his shoes and went out to find Han Qiu.
Han Qiu was woken up by him at night and was shocked when he heard that Jiang Tingnan had a fever. “I’ll go to the health center and ask the doctor to come and take a look.”
Ruan Yan quickly said, “I’ll go with you.”
“It’s okay, you can take care of him at home.”
Han Qiu left in a hurry. Ruan Yan was so worried that he could only wash the towel with cold water and go back to the room to apply it on Jiang Tingnan’s forehead.
Jiang Tingnan was always strong and rarely got sick.Ruan Yan was a little panicked and didn’t know what to do. He was used to being taken care of by Jiang Tingnan, but he didn’t know how to take good care of Jiang Tingnan.
He put his head on Jiang Tingnan’s chest, but the next second, Jiang Tingnan reached out to hug him, and then habitually touched the quilt to cover Ruan Yan.
This was entirely a subconscious action on his part.
Ruan Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes a little sore.
But before his emotions could brew any more, Han Qiu hurried over with the doctor, took his temperature, and the doctor gave him a fever-reducing injection, and then suggested that he go to the town hospital to collect blood for testing tomorrow.
Ruan Yan nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Tingnan woke up after his fever subsided. He frowned and saw Ruan Yan sitting on the side staring at him. His eyes were still a little red. He subconsciously said, “What’s wrong, baby?”
“Are you feeling better? You had a fever all night and it just went down.”
“I’m fine.”
Jiang Tingnan didn’t care about his health, he just asked him, “Did you sleep tonight? Lie next to me and sleep for a while.”
Ruan Yan lay down obediently, and after a while, he hugged Jiang Tingnan again, sniffed and shed two tears.
