    After getting the injection, Shu Li finished taking the medicine and went back to bed to lie down and rest.

    Zhao Jingchuan adjusted the infusion speed, looked at the time, and said to her, "I'll come up later."

    Then, he went on.

    She had a good night's sleep last night, and Shu Li is not sleepy at all right now, she picked up her phone to check Weibo, and reported Mei Yunqing's safety by the way.

    When a bottle of potion was about to be finished, Zhao Jingchuan came up at the right time, changed another bottle for her, and stood by the bedside and asked her, "What do you want for lunch?"

    Shu Li had the illusion that she was here for vacation.

    It's embarrassing.

    Today is the winter solstice. According to the custom, we should eat dumplings and glutinous rice balls.

    This is a rural area, and the most indispensable thing is glutinous rice flour.

    She suddenly wanted to make a somewhat excessive request: "Can I do it myself?"

    Upon hearing this, Zhao Jingchuan frowned: "You are not fully recovered yet."

    "It doesn't matter." Shu Li knew that he would not agree immediately, and wanted to reassure him, so he tried his best to prove that he was fine, "My headache is gone, my fever has almost subsided, I just have a cold and a sore throat.Let me talk less, okay?"

    This was the first winter solstice she spent with him, and she didn't want to pass it hastily.

    If she fooled around casually, what was the point of her coming here?

    After staring at her sincerely and pleadingly for a few minutes, Zhao Jingchuan was finally defeated.

    As far as he is concerned, being good for her is not to limit her freedom under the banner of a high-sounding name, but to satisfy her everything without breaking the principle.

    "Okay." Zhao Jingchuan asked her, "What do you want to do? I'll prepare ingredients for you."

    Shu Li blinked happily and said, "I want to make glutinous rice balls."

    "Didn't you eat last night?"

    "It's not the same." She curled her lips and said reasonably, "What I ate last night was not made by myself, but bought in a supermarket. It's not delicious at all. I want to make it myself tonight."

    In fact, there is another reason, which is also the most important reason. She ate alone last night, and he was not there.

    Tonight, she wants to eat with him and make it for him by herself.

    Zhao Jingchuan glanced at the time and the half bottle of needle water left, turned around and walked out, "I'll ask if there is any glutinous rice flour."

    Shu Li'an sat quietly on the bed and waited for him.

    However, after ten minutes, it was not Zhao Jingchuan who came back, but Su Lanqing who had come to see her in the morning. She ran in and asked her, "Miss Shu, can you make glutinous rice balls?"

    Shu Li nodded, "Yes."

    For her, making glutinous rice balls is very simple.

    "Wow!" Su Lanqing whispered unexpectedly, with a kind of joy of "it didn't take any effort" on her face, she sat down on the side of the bed very flatteringly, "Can I ask you something?"

    Shu Li, "Say it."

    "Dr. Zhao just said that you want some glutinous rice flour and sesame peanuts to make glutinous rice balls. We are discussing what to eat tonight with the volunteers here. Although we are here to go to the countryside to express our condolences, the festival is still to be celebrated.Tonight, during the winter solstice, we also plan to make some dumplings and make some glutinous rice balls, but we are not very good at it. If you can, can you teach us?" After finishing speaking, she added, "If you only know how to make glutinous rice balls, noIf you know how to make dumplings, then we can just make glutinous rice balls."

    "It's okay." Shu Li readily agreed to her, "I can teach anything, and I can do it."

    "Really?" Su Lanqing thought that she would only agree after a few words of persuasion, and she was ready to be rejected.

    After all, she was still sick, so even if she refused, it was justifiable. She didn't expect her to agree so readily, which made Su Lanqing feel that she was quite easy to get along with and had a good personality.

    Shu Li said again, "Really."

    "Great, then I'm going to prepare things first? I'll come up and call you when I'm ready. You should rest first." After discussing, Su Lanqing closed the door and walked out.

    When the needle water was almost gone, Zhao Jingchuan turned back from downstairs and pulled out the needle for her.

    At noon, Shu Li casually drank some porridge to fill his stomach.

    After taking a nap, she heard Su Lanqing calling her to go down. She washed her face, put on her coat, and followed Zhao Jingchuan out of the room for the first time.

    Everyone looked at her curiously, most of the glances being kind.

    Several people who didn't know who she was at first understood their relationship instantly after seeing Zhao Jingchuan holding her hand tightly.

    Shu Li walked into the kitchen to have a look.

    Su Lanqing came over and asked, "We bought so much glutinous rice flour from the villagers, as well as some peanuts, sesame seeds, pork, dumpling wrappers, etc. Have you seen enough?"

    Shu Li asked in a low voice: "How many people are there?"

    "Thirty-two?" Su Lanqing said, "Fifteen of them are girls, seventeen are boys, including you, there are thirty-three people in total."

    "Enough is enough, I still think it's a bit too much. If you eat too much glutinous rice balls and dumplings, you'll get tired. In fact, you can't eat much."

    "It doesn't matter, we cook as much as we eat, and if we can't finish it, we will have it for breakfast tomorrow."

    With everything in place, it's time to start building.

    Su Lanqing called a few volunteers to come in and help, some men and some women, "Come here and wash your hands, get ready to work, don't whine about it."

    Soon, seven or eight girls and two boys rushed in after washing their hands, and asked, "Doctor Su, what are we doing?"

    "Is there any heavy work you can do for me?"

    "Where do you start?"

    Shu Li is a teacher, even though she is facing college students at the moment, she is not timid at all, and assigns work to them in an orderly manner.

    The two peeled peanuts and made sesame seeds, while the two boys helped chop meat and make dumpling fillings, and the rest learned to make glutinous rice flour with her.

    After the meat is chopped and the dumpling stuffing is almost ready, she will teach them how to make dumplings.

    Zhao Jingchuan went out with Zhu Hongbo, and when he came back, he happened to see this scene——

    Shu Li tied up her hair, wore an apron, and stood in front of the kitchen counter, teaching a few girls how to make dumplings, trying to show them the simplest operation techniques.

    Her expression was focused, her eyes drooped, and she had no extra energy to pay attention to other things, and she didn't even notice that he was back.

    The afternoon sunlight reflected from the atrium on her side face, as if she had been coated with a layer of soft light, making her look cute and peaceful.

    It took less than half a day to get involved, talking and laughing.

    Zhao Jingchuan didn't bother her.

    Zhu Hongbo came over to take a look from a distance, whistled, and said casually: "Hey, I heard that my sister-in-law is here, can it be that one? She looks pretty good! But, old Zhao, you are so good at it.I didn't see it."

    Zhao Jingchuan's gaze still fell on Shu Li and did not move away.

    Zhu Hongbo also took a serious look, patted him on the shoulder in fear and said, "No wonder the flash marriage is so deep. You pretended to me in the parking lot before, why don't you pretend now?"

    The strange thing is that someone didn't refute this sentence. don't know if he admitted it, or he just didn't bother to respond.

    In the evening, the glutinous rice balls and dumplings are all cooked and out of the pan.

    The male volunteers were responsible for moving the tables and chairs, and the female volunteers were responsible for carrying the bowls and chopsticks. More than 30 people were divided into two large tables to eat.

    Naturally, Shu Li sat with Zhao Jingchuan, and at the same table were doctors, nurses and several volunteers who were assigned from the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

    As an uninvited guest who just came here last night, although Shu Li was familiar with the people who just worked in the kitchen with him, he was not familiar with most of them.

    She was a little nervous, and kept her hair down, waiting for everyone to sit down and start eating.

    While she was in a trance, Zhao Jingchuan touched her hand, as if wanting to feel the temperature of her hand to see if she was cold, Shu Li was startled, trembled slightly, and turned to look at him.

    Zhao Jingchuan's hand was much bigger than hers, and the wide palm could easily wrap her hand tightly.

    Shu Li let him wrap her icy left hand into his palm, curled her lower lip, and raised her eyes to meet an unfriendly gaze on the other side.

    It was a woman with short hair. She was fairly pretty, and her facial features were not too flawed. They were neatly combined and looked pretty.

    The temperament is very special, with a bright aura opposite to hers.

    After a while, a volunteer came to help pour drinks for everyone, and asked her, "Miss Shiwei, do you drink Coke or beer?"

    She ordered a glass of beer, and Shu Li realized that she was Song Shiwei.

    When the volunteers came to Shu Li's side, they also asked them politely.

    Shu Li wanted a cup of Coca-Cola to satisfy his cravings, but before she could open his mouth.

    Zhao Jingchuan directly declined for her, but he asked for a glass of beer, and she could only drink plain water.

    Su Lanqing smiled and comforted her: "Don't drink other things when you are sick, and get well first."

    "Okay." Shu Li felt unwilling, but still nodded resignedly, took a cup of steaming water and drank it lightly.

    Everyone is basically here, and everyone starts to pick up the bowls and chopsticks to eat.

    Compared with dumplings, Shu Li prefers to eat glutinous rice balls, and it turns out that the ones made by herself are more delicious. She ate several in a row, and the more she ate, the more addicted she became.

    The college students are always noisy when they eat, and the next table eats for a while and even plays games, and the laughter directly breaks through the roof.

    At their age, non-conformity is the truth.

    After losing the game, the loser followed the instructions and walked over to Zhao Jingchuan boldly, "Doctor Zhao, is this your wife?"

    Zhao Jingchuan clearly knew their purpose, so he nodded in unison, acquiescing to this fact.

    As soon as the word was pronounced, the boys immediately called out the title "sister-in-law", and they were too familiar with it.

    In a trance, Shu Li returned to his student days, and was fortunate to experience the feeling of being teased, gossiped, and teased with the person he likes.

    Shu Li blushed when they shouted, and saw Song Shiwei glance at her from a distance, with a little disdain in his eyes.

    She looked away indifferently, ate two dumplings, and heard them say: "Sister-in-law is so kind, the conditions here are so difficult, and she ran all the way to accompany you during the winter solstice, and make dumplings for you to make glutinous rice balls for you to eat.We have a good fortune, you have to treat her well."

    "What are you worrying about, Dr. Zhao doesn't know better than you, so you need to say it."

    "It's so sticky! I'm so curious why it's still sticky like this after getting married!"

    "By the way." Someone had an idea and asked a question that couples are usually asked, "Doctor Zhao, what do you like about sister-in-law? Or, what attracted you to sister-in-law in the first place and made you like her so much?Is it appearance, figure, or other aspects?"

    When asked this question, not only them, but many people present were very curious.

    Shu Li was stunned for a moment, and took a peek at Zhao Jingchuan, knowing that he would be perfunctory, or he wouldn't answer at all, and just drive them away, gossiping brats.

    Zhao Jingchuan was silent for two minutes, without moving or showing any expression.

    After a while, after thinking clearly, he chuckled lightly, raised his head in front of everyone, and rolled out a few words from his throat in a low tone, "I like everything everywhere."

    Shu Li's face became hot when he saw him, and hearing his serious tone, he had the illusion that he was confessing to her.

    She knew that it was just a play on the occasion.

    To her, he had always been just a delusion.

    Being able to be together like this is already enough to kill.
