224 Reunion
This tree clearly wasn’t there yesterday. Yue Jiaojiao looked at Zhao Zhan in surprise, her eyes warm and soft. “This tree… ”
“I saw it on the hill yesterday, so I made a mark. This morning, when I took Chengfeng for a walk on the hill, I carried this tree back.” Zhao Zhan’s tone was a little nervous. “Do you like it?”
“I like it.”
Yue Jiaojiao nodded her head heavily. Anyone who was in love would definitely like it.
Zhao Zhan couldn’t help but smile foolishly as he stood beside her.
“Zhao Zhan!”
The iron plate tied to the door made a crisp ding sound, and Fang Tianliu’s loud voice could be heard from outside the courtyard.
“I have to go open the door.”
“Then I’ll go and wash up. I’ll be out in a while.”
Zhao Zhan nodded and watched her enter the room before he quickly walked to the entrance and opened it. When he saw Doctor Sun, Sun Jiyan, Fang Tianliu, and Doctor Zhou, he greeted them one by one, “Hello, come in.”
“When I brought Doctor Sun here, I found Doctor Zhou standing guard all alone in the Herb Hall, so I asked him if he wanted to come here.”
Fang Tianliu had a smug look on his face as he spoke, “It’s the New Year, we can’t just make him eat alone. Besides, where else is open now?”
“Thank you for coming.” Zhao Zhan only had respect for these people and hurriedly made way for them to enter. “Everyone, please wait a moment. Fang Tianliu, I’ll be in the kitchen. Take care of the guests for me.”
“Don’t worry, I will,” Fang Tianliu patted his chest with a serious look on his face. “It’s just a pity that Xiangjun can’t come over. Manager Li was not willing to let her go.”
“Fang Tianliu, Li Xiangjun is an unmarried woman after all. If word gets out that she’s here to celebrate the New Year with you, it’ll damage her reputation.”
“I was only saying it…” Fang Tianfu mumbled. “After I marry her, I’ll take her wherever I want to.”
Fang Tianliu’s father was still disappointed in him so he was going to spend his New Year here.
Although he had earned some money from opening a small shop this year, this money was not enough to fill the gap between him and his father.
Therefore, in a fit of pique, he decided that he would not return home until his shop became well-known.
“Og, everyone is here. Hello!” Yue Jiaojiao tidied up and walked over from the backyard. She greeted each and every one of them. “Also… Would you all mind if we have two more people for lunch?”
“Why would I mind? It’s the New Year. The more, the merrier!”
“That’s right. In any case, it’s that brat Zhao Zhan who’s busy in the kitchen. He definitely won’t mind bringing an extra mouth to feed along.”
“I’ll go get Yang Dashan and Li Miao to come over now, in case they end up cooking later.”
“I’ll go,” Yue Jiaojiao opened her mouth to stop him. “You stay here and accompany everyone.”
When Yue Jiaojiao arrived at Li Miao’s house, she happened to be walking to the door with a basket on her back.
“Li Miao,” seeing Li Miao’s sallow face, Yue Jiaojiao asked worriedly, “Did something happen to you recently? Why do you look so listless?”
Seeing Yue Jiaojiao’s happy face, Li Miao said, “I haven’t been sleeping well recently. Maybe it’s because of the wolves. I keep waking up in the middle of the night with nightmares, but I can’t remember what I had.”
“That’s horrible. Take a break and have lunch with us. It’s the New Year, maybe we can liven up your spirit. I have many doctors at home now, and they can help you check your pulse.”
