Xiao Niannian smiled and nodded, "Yes! If you don't believe it, smell it, it smells delicious!"
Xie Yunzhi was dubious, but finally brought his hand to his nose and smelled it.
The scent of pumpkin wafted to the tip of his nose, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
Okay, okay, it’s really just a pumpkin.
Otherwise, he would have wanted to chop off his hand...
But even pumpkins are intolerable to him.
He walked to the well in the front yard to scoop out water and wash his hands. Little Niannian followed him and washed the pumpkin residue on his hands.
Just when he rolled up his sleeves, Xiao Niannian saw the remaining bruises on his arms.
This is the scar left by the last time he was beaten. That time, for some reason, Sheng Ziyi lost his temper.
If Uncle Qin hadn't come to the Shen house to find Li Rulan, Xie Yunzhi would have been beaten to the point where he wouldn't be able to get out of bed.
Xiao Niannian didn't understand. Xie Yunzhi worked so hard, why did Aunt Sheng still beat him?
At the age of seven, he can already write well.
The brothers are still learning the simplest three-character classic, but he can already write the four books and five classics.
If my brothers were so powerful, my father and mother would wish they could be used as living treasures.
But Aunt Sheng not only didn't take it seriously, she always scolded him.
Hey, it’s true that a full man doesn’t know how hungry a hungry man is...
After they washed their hands, they went to Sheng Ziyi's room to have snacks together.
Today's pastries are steamed cheese with sugar and sweet-scented osmanthus cake. Little Niannian likes these two pastries very much and enjoys eating them.
Sheng Ziyi was afraid that she would choke, so he poured her a glass of warm water and gently wiped away the pastry residue from the corner of her mouth with a silk handkerchief.
Xie Yunzhi watched from the side, silently lowering his eyes, his long eyelashes covering the emotions in his eyes.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Niannian said goodbye to Sheng Ziyi sweetly.
"See you, Aunt Sheng. Your pastries are very good. I will bring them again tomorrow~"
As she said that, she looked at Xie Yunzhi next to Sheng Ziyi.
"There is also Yun Zhi Guo Guo Yi Debian."
Sheng Ziyi glanced at Xie Yunzhi, suddenly thought of something, and pulled Xiao Niannian aside.
"Hey, little girl, don't tell your mother what you saw today."
Xiao Niannian pursed her lips and thought for a while. She ate Aunt Sheng's cakes every day, so it was hard to refuse other people's requests.
But she strongly disapproved of adults corporally punishing children, not to mention that in her eyes, Xie Yunzhi had done nothing wrong.
"Can Auntie Liang promise me not to beat Yun Zhi again? He is so pitiful."
When Xie Yunzhi heard Xiao Niannian calling him pitiful, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He didn't want others to think he was pitiful.
But it seems that they were right. He is now unloved and unloved. He is indeed very pitiful.
After hearing what Xiao Niannian said, Sheng Ziyi looked back at Xie Yunzhi and saw him lowering his head in loneliness.
She felt a little touched and a little annoyed in her heart.
She tried her best to shake off those strange feelings and agreed to Xiao Niannian's request with a smile.
After sending Xiao Niannian out, she returned to her room and sat in front of the dressing table in a daze.
Is she really going too far towards Xie Yunzhi?
In fact, she didn't want this either.
But as long as she sees Xie Yunzhi's face, which is very similar to his father, she will feel strong hatred in her heart.
So she tried not to meet Xie Yunzhi, not wanting to vent her anger on him too much.
Because she still has very important things that can only be accomplished with this child.
For that matter, she had to strictly discipline Xie Yunzhi.
She raised her eyes and looked out the window at the crabapple tree with only some dead leaves left, and there seemed to be a blazing fire in her eyes.
If you don't have enough ability, how can you turn this Jingguo upside down in the future?
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, which brought her back from her thoughts.
She asked outside the door: "What's the matter?"
Fu Liu's voice came: "Madam, Doctor Wang is here."
When Sheng Ziyi heard this, he quickly wiped off the lipstick on his lips and the blush on his face.
Then he took off the hairpin on his head, let his long hair fall down, took off his coat and lay on the bed.
After doing all this, she pretended to be weak and coughed twice.
Then he shouted softly to the door: "Come in."
After Xiao Niannian left, she asked Fuliu to invite Wang Yan to come over. She didn't expect him to come so quickly.
Wang Yan carried the medicine box on his back and followed Fu Liu around the screen to Sheng Ziyi's bed.
After giving a salute, without even looking at Sheng Ziyi, he took out a handkerchief, put it on her wrist and began to feel her pulse.
Sheng Ziyi looked at him, and when he saw that he didn't even look at her, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
Without squinting his eyes, Wang Yan retreated outside the screen after taking his pulse, not daring to stay beside Sheng Ziyi for a moment.
"Ms. Sheng's health is not serious. It's just that she worries too much, which leads to insomnia and dreams at night. I'm going to prescribe some medicine for you, and you'll be fine after taking it for a few days."
Sheng Ziyi's voice came from inside the screen, mixed with a hint of frost.
"I heard that the key to practicing medicine is to look, hear, ask, and feel. Dr. Wang only took my pulse and didn't listen, ask, or look at me. How could he determine my illness?"
Wang Yan's hand opened the medicine box for a moment, then returned to normal.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Sheng. I have been practicing medicine for many years and I have never made a misdiagnosis."
"You!" Sheng Ziyi bit her lip depressedly, but finally said nothing.
Since she moved to Taoli Village, she has met Wang Yan several times on the road.
But most of the time, Wang Yan turned a blind eye to her.
At most, he nodded towards her, which was considered a greeting.
So after a year, they still haven't developed any sparks, which gives her a headache.
She remembered that when they first met last year, Wang Yan was so fascinated by her.
And last year's New Year's Eve, anyone could see the clear affection in his eyes.
He also took out so much dark thinking wine just to drink with himself.
But this year, he seemed to be a different person, with no trace of affection in his eyes.
Sheng Ziyi thought to herself, was it really her drunkenness on New Year's Eve last year that scared him?
If men are really not affectionate, they are just drunk, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
What's more, she almost never drinks.
During this year, she also invited Wang Yan to come here several times to treat herself or others.
But every time Wang Yan's attitude was neither salty nor bland. She wanted to keep him at home for dinner, but he refused.
This time she pretended to be sick, just to test her. Unexpectedly, Wang Yan didn't even want to look at her.
She Sheng Ziyi also has her own pride. Men have always been around her. How could she ever put so much thought into a man?
Now that I can do this, it is the ultimate.
Thinking of this, she felt even more upset.
That’s all, it’s a long time anyway, so let’s take it slow.
Wang Yan looked back after leaving the Sheng family courtyard. The affection in his eyes finally couldn't be controlled and spread, so thick that it could drown the entire Sheng family.
He took out the handkerchief that just covered Sheng Ziyi's wrist from his sleeve pocket and held it tightly in his hand.
Then he limped towards his deserted residence. This chapter has been completed!
