"What is it?"

"A snake." What he said was the thin snake that he had rescued. It was now also a member of the herbal field, but it rarely appeared on normal days.

"A snake?!" Tong Wei was shocked after hearing. "Isn't Daxia here? How could there be a snake?"

Hawks and snakes are natural enemies. How was it possible to live harmoniously when they existed opposite each other?

"Haha, Daxia is psychic. It can understand what it's being told," w.a.n.g Yao said smilingly.

Both of them sat outside the hut and chatted. The mountain wind felt very comfortable on the body. Sitting on the mountain, Tong Wei felt that her entire body had calmed down. The hustle and bustle, and the fretful things were temporarily gone.

"Phew, so comfortable."

"Drink some tea."

"Thank you."

The sun was slanting to the west in the sky.

"Let's go home. There'll be some guests at home later."

"Some more guests?"

"Yes. The mountain caught on fire yesterday. Someone helped to put it out, so I'm treating them to dinner tonight to thank them."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Tong Wei replied. If she knew about it, she would not come up the mountain, but would stay at home instead to help w.a.n.g Yao's mother prepare dinner.

"It's okay. We still have time now."

The two of them held hands and walked down the mountain.

"Watch your steps."

On the road, they met a few elders who came down from working on the mountain. w.a.n.g Yao greeted them smilingly. Tong Wei said h.e.l.lo to them as well. A few of them responded happily.

"Xiao Yao's girlfriend is so pretty!"

"Yes. It's been so long that the village has such a beautiful daughter-in-law."

"I don't think the village has ever had one?"

"Which pretty daughter-in-law would marry into this ravine?!"

w.a.n.g Yao stopped when he reached the big roof-tiled houses and the courtyard in the south of the village.

"I bought this place." w.a.n.g Yao pointed to the small courtyard inside where it was overgrown with weeds.

"What for?" Tong Wei was a little surprised.

"I'm going to build a few houses and open a medical center," w.a.n.g Yao answered with a smile. That was what he originally thought.

"Open a medical center in this mountain village?" Tong Wei asked doubtfully, "Will people come?"

"There will be," w.a.n.g Yao replied smilingly.

As long as his medical center was opened, there would be people coming, and there would be people coming from far away. He was confident in this.

"Okay. I support you." Tong Wei grinned like a beautiful flower.

"Let's go home."

When they returned home, w.a.n.g Yao's parents were busy for the dinner at night.

"Uncle, take a rest. I'll do it," Tong Wei said as she saw the scene and rushed forward.

"It's okay. Go into the house quickly. There are freshly bought cherries. w.a.n.g Yao, bring Tong Wei into the house," Zhang Xiuying said hurriedly upon seeing the situation.

Although she said so, Tong Wei stayed in the kitchen to help. After a while, Zhang Xiuying noticed another characteristic of her future daughter-in-law. She had deft hands. Yes, she was ingenious and did things very dexterously. Furthermore, her cooking was not bad as well.

"Yes, she's pretty decent." The more she looked, the more she liked her.

"How many days is Tong Wei staying here this holiday?"

"Five days. Her break was originally three days. She applied for a two-day leave."

w.a.n.g Yao knew that on the one hand, she came back because of the holidays. On the other hand, she was also doing some preparations for going abroad soon.

There were already guests arriving when the sky had just darkened a little. The first one to turn up was w.a.n.g Fengming. Not only did he come, but he also brought some things.

"Look at you. Why do you still bring things with you?" w.a.n.g Fenghua said as he invited people into the house.

"Haha. I didn't bring much too." w.a.n.g Fengmind replied with a laugh.

"Uncle."

"Hey."

The guests entered into the house to drink some tea. Both Zhang Xiuying and Tong Wei were busy in the kitchen.

Several other people came one after another.

"Xiao Yao, serve the dishes."

After seeing that the guests were all present, w.a.n.g Fenghua asked w.a.n.g Yao to serve the dishes.

"Okay."

The dishes were served one after another. Tong Wei also helped to serve the dishes. A few of the villagers were surprised when they saw Tong Wei.

"What a beautiful daughter-in-law!"

"Fenghua, when is w.a.n.g Yao's wedding?"

"Haha. There's no rush. No rush," w.a.n.g Fenghua said with a laugh.

It was a sumptuous feast. The wine was good as well, which was a vintage Jingzhi wine.

"It's an excellent wine!" Most of the men in the village liked to drink. However, they usually drank the locally-produced white wine and normally a bottle would not cost over 15 dollars. This bottle of wine was worth a few hundreds. People who normally drank could tell that it was a fine wine. It did not taste the same as Maotai, Wuliangye and the white wine in bulk.

The banquet only ended at around half past eight. They were people from the same village and their houses were not far away. There were good wines, so they could not help but indulged themselves with alcohol and drank more. Hence, the dinner was longer.

After being busy, Tong Wei helped w.a.n.g Yao's parents to clean up the table, and then simply ate something in the kitchen. Looking again, it was already past nine o'clock at night.

"Do you want me to send you home, or do you want to stay here?"

When w.a.n.g Yao said this, Zhang Xiuying also stopped the work in her hands and casually looked over in his direction.

"Then, I'll stay here for a night?" Tong Wei replied after thinking for a while.

"Okay. I'll prepare a room for you now," Zhang Xiuying said smilingly, as if she was afraid that the daughter-in-law who caught her fancy would regret.

It was a new bedding. Since it was for her own daughter-in-law's use, the best should be used.

Zhang Xiuying's face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a delighted smile.

Tong Wei made a phone call to her family, saying that she was not going home that night. Her mother did not say anything else and told her to be careful.

What was there to be careful about?!

It was a very quiet night.

w.a.n.g Yao did not go up the mountain that night.

There was no sensual romance and irresistibility against each other that night.

Early morning the next day, Tong Wei woke up very early.

She planned to help w.a.n.g Yao's mother prepare breakfast. After she got up, she realized that she seemed to wake up a bit too early. w.a.n.g Yao's parents had not even woken up.

"Why did you get up so early?" w.a.n.g Yao asked with a smile after coming out from his own room.

"I want to help Aunty prepare breakfast."

"It's okay. If you didn't sleep well, why don't you go back and get some unprotected sleep?"

"It's fine. I had a pretty good sleep."

In fact, she did not sleep well for the whole night. Deciding to spend the night at w.a.n.g Yao's house was something that she had never considered. Although nothing substantive had happened in the night, it was Tong Wei's att.i.tude.

"Oh right, do you know Tai Chi?"

"I know a little." w.a.n.g Yao said smilingly, "Why, do you want to learn?"

"Yes, I want to. Can you teach me?"

"No problem."

The two young people who woke up very early started practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard. One was learning and the other was teaching.

w.a.n.g Yao was not counted as a qualified teacher because he did not have the experience of teaching others. However, Tong Wei was definitely a qualified student. Her understanding was excellent. She understood the things w.a.n.g Yao said with just a hint. Furthermore, she had a dancing foundation, so it was relatively easy for her to get the hang of it when practicing Kungfu.

"What are they doing?" In the house, Zhang Xiuying, who had actually already woken up, bent over the window and looked outside.

"Hey, what are you peeping at? If you want to see, see openly."

"Aren't you peeping too?"

"This is Tai Chi!"

w.a.n.g Yao taught Tong Wei while holding her hands. His parents were stuck inside the house, unwilling to go out and disturb the intimacy of the young couple.

After learning for quite some time, Tong Wei curiously asked, "Haven't Uncle and Aunty woken up yet?"

"Haha, I think they're up. Should we go make breakfast?"

"Sure."

Tong Wei's skills in the kitchen were really exceptional. She was a woman who was capable of being a homemaker and had the correct.i.tude as the public face of a spouse.

After a short while, she had already prepared breakfast.

"Mmm, smells good."

At that moment, w.a.n.g Yao's parents also came out from the room. Seeing that food was ready, they hurriedly washed up.

A family of four gathered together, eating a warm breakfast.

In the morning, w.a.n.g Yao sent Tong Wei back to Lianshan County. She still had some things to do. w.a.n.g Yao drove the car and went to a few places with her. They were busy until noon.

"Why don't you have lunch at my house? My mom has prepared lunch."

"Alright."

Both of them went to the supermarket, bought a few gifts and went to Tong Wei's house, just like a couple.

When they arrived at Tong Wei's house, the more her parents looked at w.a.n.g Yao, the more satisfied they were. They had a genuine smile hanging across their faces.

It was not until afternoon that w.a.n.g Yao left and drove home.

"Drive safe."

"Okay. I'll send you off tomorrow."

"Okay, give me a call when you reach home."

The relations.h.i.+p between the two seemed to have improved after a day and a night of contact.
