Chapter 365 Visiting Widow Tian (2)
Seeing this, He Yugang quickly took over the conversation: "Mrs. Tian, I'm sorry to bother you. We came to visit you suddenly and we are sorry to trouble you to cook." There was a hint of restraint and apology on his face, but his tone was full of sincerity.
"You two are really rude, but it just so happens that I was preparing to cook. Since you are here, just eat here." Widow Tian said with a smile, and the expression on her face became more gentle and kind.
"Thank you, Sister Tian." He Yugang stood up, clasped his hands together, bowed slightly, and a grateful smile appeared on his face.
"Yugang, you're being too polite to me. Come over often when you have time. I'm getting bored being alone at home." Widow Tian smiled and waved her hand, her eyes revealing her fondness for He Yugang.
"Of course, of course." He Yugang nodded repeatedly with a sincere expression on his face.
The three chatted for a while, then Widow Tian stood up, dusted off her hands, and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook. She turned to Xu Damao and He Yugang and said, "You guys sit down for a while, I'll go cook, it will be ready in a while."
Xu Damao and He Yugang found a place to sit in the living room. Xu Damao looked around and said, "Although this house is simple, it is quite clean."
He Yugang also looked around, nodded, and then whispered to Xu Damao: "Da Mao, I think Sister Tian is a nice person. She gives people a kind feeling."
Xu Damao nodded, sighed and said, "Yes, she is a good person, kind-hearted and helpful. But her life is a bit hard. No one is left in her family, her husband's family, and now she is all alone."
When He Yugang heard Xu Damao's words, he felt a little sympathy in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then changed the subject and said with a chuckle:
"But why do I feel like there's something wrong with the way she looks at you? Did you two have any…"
Xu Damao glared at He Yugang and interrupted him: "What nonsense are you talking about! Sister Tian and I are just ordinary friends, don't talk nonsense." A trace of displeasure appeared on his face, but he quickly regained his composure.
Seeing this, He Yugang quickly waved his hands and said, "I was just joking, don't mind it." He showed an awkward smile on his face, trying to ease the atmosphere.
Not long after, the sound of frying pans could be heard from the kitchen, accompanied by waves of tempting aromas. Widow Tian came out with several plates of delicious dishes, her face filled with a smile of satisfaction and pride.
"Come and eat while it's hot." Widow Tian placed the dishes on the table one by one and greeted Xu Damao and He Yugang warmly.
Xu Damao and He Yugang were already attracted by the aroma and could not wait to sit at the table. He Yugang looked at the dishes on the table with his eyes wide open and exclaimed: "Wow, it's so rich! Sister Tian, your cooking skills are really great."
"As long as you like it, eat it quickly." Widow Tian smiled from ear to ear, as if she was the one being praised. She picked up her chopsticks and motioned for the other two to start eating as well.
At the dinner table, the three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Widow Tian served them food from time to time and asked about their tastes and preferences. Xu Damao and He Yugang also shared each other's interesting stories and experiences, and laughed heartily from time to time.
After dinner, Xu Damao looked at the time and found that it was already afternoon. He stood up and said to Widow Tian, "Sister-in-law Tian, we are going back. Thank you again for your hospitality."
Widow Tian also stood up and said reluctantly, "Are you leaving so soon? How about you sit for a while?"
Xu Damao shook his head and said, "No, we still have to go get something."
Widow Tian saw this and stopped trying to persuade them to stay. She just said, "Okay, be careful on your way."
After Xu Damao and He Yugang said goodbye to Widow Tian, they went directly to the village chief's house. When the village chief saw them, he immediately handed them the dry goods he had prepared. Xu Damao took the dry goods and said to the village chief gratefully, "Thank you so much this time, village chief."
The village chief waved his hand and said, "Don't be polite. It's what we should do."
Xu Damao turned to He Yugang and said, "Yugang, let's go."
He Yugang looked at Xu Damao gratefully and said, "Da Mao, this time it's really thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I really don't know how I would have exchanged for these things."
Xu Damao patted He Yugang on the shoulder and said, "Don't be polite. There's no need to be so formal between us brothers."
The two left Lijia Village happily with the dry goods. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching their shadows long.
