After the divorce, my second-married military officer husband doted on me

Chapter 296 Tea Tasting

Ning Cailian heard Jiang Nuan's voice and walked around the room biting her fingers.

How to do?

It’s her sister-in-law. She misses her sister-in-law so much!

But the wound on the face!

"Lian'er, open the door, I know you are inside.

We all know you're hurt, and you can't escape it by hiding.

If you don't want your brother and I to worry, just open the door.

My sister-in-law brought you some ointment to reduce the swelling. It works very well and will heal in a few days."

Ning Cailian touched her face after hearing this and asked doubtfully, "Is there really such a good ointment? Can it heal in three days?"

Jiang Nuan said softly, "Well, when has your sister-in-law ever lied to you?

Also, we will help you keep it a secret from your mother until you recover from your injury before returning."

Ning Cailian opened the door in surprise when she heard it, "Really?"

"You won't tell Mom that I'm injured?"

What she cared about most was that her mother would find out.

When Jiang Nuan saw that face that was as cute as an angel, her heart turned pale and purple, and she instantly regretted not castrating those two people that night.

She kept smiling, "Of course, otherwise it wouldn't be your brother and I coming here, but your mother crying to take you home."

Ning Cailian threw herself into Jiang Nuan's arms, still a little scared when she thought of that night, "Sister-in-law, that's great, I'll be relieved if you don't tell Mom.

What about my brother? Does he feel guilty?"

Jiang Nuan gently stroked her hair, "He is your brother, he will be worried about you no matter what the reason for your injury.

Let’s go down and let him see it.

Otherwise he won’t feel at ease.”

My sister-in-law has come up in person, it would be too much if she continued to hide.

Ning Cailian followed Jiang Nuan downstairs. When she looked at Gu Siheng, she called out with a lack of confidence, "Brother."

Seeing that her face looked more terrifying than Lu Ting's, Gu Siheng's expression instantly became frighteningly gloomy. He tightened his fingers one by one, and his joints cracked as he gripped the ground.

Huo Qiming patted his uninjured shoulder and said, "Keep your aura down and don't scare the little girl."

Gu Siheng didn't know how much effort he put in to control himself and not lose his composure.

He tried to use a gentle tone to ask, "Does it still hurt? Are there any other injuries?"

Jiang Nuan knew that the calmer he was, the more guilty he felt.

In order to protect more people, he ended up hurting his own relatives, and this result was hard for him to accept.

Ning Cailian shook her head obediently, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all.

There were no injuries on his body, just a few bruises.

I wasn't as seriously injured as Sister Lu, but my skin was pale and looked scary.

Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine in a few days. Don't tell mom, I don't want to scare her."

Jiang Nuan took Ning Cailian's hand and sat next to Gu Siheng, comforting him, "Okay, it's already happened, just be careful next time.

You are so serious, no wonder Lian'er wants to hide."

Ning Cailian said cautiously, "Brother, don't worry, I'm really fine. I will practice martial arts diligently to protect myself in the future."

Gu Siheng took a deep breath, “Silly boy, why are you so afraid of me?

Would I be mean to you?

I just feel guilty for getting you and Lu Ting into trouble. You must have been terrified that night!"

Lu Ting was in a good mood, "It's okay, it's all in the past, why keep worrying about it.

Come, have some tea. My mom makes delicious tea. She doesn't usually make it easily, but you're in luck today."

Her mother smiled and said, "Yes, that's right, don't mention it now that it's over.

Have tea!

This is Nuannuan's first time visiting the Lu family. Come and try Auntie's tea-making skills."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Nuan picked up the teacup and took a sip. The soft touch of the tea when the tip of her tongue touched it was as if it was gently brushed by the freshest petals in spring.

She couldn't help but take another sip. The rich aroma of the tea spread in her mouth, like orchid and osmanthus, distant and long-lasting.

Especially after the tea enters the throat, the sweet taste slowly seeps out, just like the clear spring water in the mountains, with its natural sweetness and purity, giving the taste buds a grand carnival.

She couldn't help but praise, "The universe is vast in tea, and the sun and moon are long in the pot."

"Aunt Lu's tea is brewed with boiling water. The tea leaves stretch and dance in the water, like a sleeping soul just awakening.

Sniffing the tea fragrance is quiet and elegant, like the fragrance of orchids in a valley, and the freshness of morning dew on green grass.

Take a sip and savor it carefully. It feels slightly astringent at first, but then turns to sweetness in an instant, just like the ups and downs of life: bitter at first but sweet later. The taste is mellow and makes your tongue salivate. You feel refreshed and all your worries disappear.

"Hahaha, look at your little mouth, it's so pleasing. Is the tea that auntie makes really so delicious?" Lu Ting's mother laughed heartily at the compliment.

Jiang Nuan nodded, "Of course. Aunt Lu's skills are so amazing that even professional tea art masters would be ashamed of themselves."

In her previous life, when she was in high school, she worked as a handyman in a teahouse to earn tuition. Because of her diligence, the master in the teahouse taught her how to brew tea, and she also got to know a lot of good teas.

It’s a pity that she married Gu Jinyan after the college entrance examination and never had the chance to drink such good tea again.

Lu Ting was a little surprised by Jiang Nuan's literary talent, "I also want to praise her, but my literary talent is not good enough.

If I had to describe it, I would only have a few words: delicious! Delicious, really delicious! "

Her mother laughed angrily, "You little girl, you didn't study hard when I told you to, and now you can't even speak a few words, and you still have the nerve to say that."

Lu Ting raised her head proudly, "I'm not a teacher, why do I need such good literary talent?

Jiang Nuan, let me tell you, my mother ran a teahouse when she was young, and my father noticed her because of her ability to make delicious tea.

My father is a doctor and likes to drink tea.

He said drinking tea can clear the lungs, so he married her just to drink the tea my mother brewed.

She usually only makes tea for my dad or when there are guests at home. She's too lazy to make it when we want to drink it."

Lu Ting's mother nodded her head and said, "Can't you be less talkative, girl?

You've exposed your mother's secrets. If you want to drink, why don't you learn it yourself? Or do you want me to serve you?"

Lu Ting pouted, "I'd love to, but you made me so dumb! I couldn't learn it after trying so many times, and I even burned my hand."

Huo Qiming continued, "If you want to drink it, I'll make it for you later. I happen to know how to make it."

Lu Ting's mother looked at Huo Qiming in surprise when she heard this, "You can make it!"

Huo Qiming scratched his head sheepishly. "When I first went abroad, I couldn't get used to the coffee there. I figured it out myself, and over time I got the hang of it."

Lu Ting's mother was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling, "Tingting, look at Qiming, he can make delicious tea even without any teaching after going abroad, unlike you, who can't even learn it.

Lazy people are blessed with good fortune. From now on, I'll follow Qiming and have plenty of tea and water."

Lu Ting didn't expect Huo Qiming to be able to make tea. "Tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea!"

Huo Qiming accepted it happily, "Thank you for the compliment!"

Lu Ting, "Alright! I praised you, and you acted so arrogant!"

"..."

A few people chatted and laughed, and two hours passed quickly.

Lu Ting's mother originally wanted to invite Jiang Nuan and Gu Siheng to dinner, but Gu Siheng declined because his wound needed dressing changes. "Thank you for your hospitality, Aunt Lu. We'll have dinner next time. I have something to do at the military hospital. There's something wrong with the disfigured girl I brought back yesterday. I need to go check on her."

Lu Ting's mother knew that the military district had a lot of things to do. "Okay, in that case, Auntie won't keep you. Next time you have time to come and visit, I'll cook for you personally."

……

night.

Big cattle farm.

The cold wind at night made the door and window frames of Gu Jinyan's house creak.

The house was already old and shabby, and now the weather was cold. The strong wind made the house leak air everywhere and it was very cold.

Gu Jinyan waited until almost ten o'clock but Wan Qiusheng still didn't come back, and he couldn't help but feel worried.

"It's almost ten o'clock, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Since Wan Qiusheng rescued him, he had never come back so late.

Thinking of the man in black who suddenly appeared during the day, he had a bad feeling in his heart.

The more Gu Jinyan thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He went out with his crutches to look for Wan Qiusheng.

Two kilometers from Daniu Village, in the darkness, Wan Qiusheng was intercepted by the man who had come looking for Gu Jinyan during the day. The man was playing with a dagger in his hand. "What do you think of what I just said to you?"
