Chapter 755 Am I ugly?
"Fubao is here, let's start the feast."
Following Dong Qingyuan's voice, everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to taste the food.
However, just as the meal started, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the door. Jiang Fubao was surprised, thinking that it was Meng Bujiu who had returned. The front end of the chopsticks in her hand was hanging in the air, but her body turned slightly, and the pearls and jade on her head made a tinkling sound.
This caused Dong Qingyuan, who was sitting at the same table, to look at her.
Seeing her goddaughter so anxious, her eyes were almost curved with smile.
A goddaughter is a goddaughter, no matter how close you are, she is still a goddaughter, how can she be better than a daughter-in-law.
At that time, outside the door, a strong man passed by on horseback. It was not Meng Bujiu. Jiang Fubao seemed a little disappointed.
It turned out to be just someone passing by.
She turned around and put the eggplant box on the chopsticks to her mouth, wanting to taste her second sister's cooking, but suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Fubao——"
She thought it was an illusion and did not turn around.
"Fubao, I'm back——"
As soon as she took a bite, the sound rang out again. Jiang Fubao's eyes lit up, she put down her chopsticks, and turned her whole body around.
When she saw Meng Bujiu, her curved slender eyebrows instantly raised up, and then pressed forward.
"Brother Bujiu? You're back! Is the case done?" Her voice sounded particularly excited.
"When have I ever been absent from your birthday? The case has been completed. Here is your birthday present. I promised you last year that I would take you to Jiangnan to have fun and eat all the delicious food. Unfortunately, you couldn't get away and I was too busy.
The cakes and snacks in this food box are your favorites when you went to Jiangnan before. They should be fine. I changed the ice cubes several times along the way. After dinner, try them and see if they still taste the same."
Meng Bujiu was breathing heavily, his horse tied to the stone lion at the door.
After traveling all the way, he became much darker, with some dark circles under his eyes, and a scruffy beard, looking very haggard.
"Brother Bujiu, you didn't ride back on horseback overnight, did you?"
Jiang Fubao frowned.
She stared at Meng Bujiu with her watery eyes, afraid that he was lying.
Every time Brother Bujiu came to see him, he was dressed handsomely, shaved cleanly, and even his hair was combed so that there was not a single strand of hair out.
Now he looks so haggard. He must have not had much rest along the way. After rushing back to Lianshan Town, he didn't even have time to change clothes and shave.
"Yes, I didn't want to be absent, so I hurried back, and luckily I made it in time." Meng Bujiu didn't actually want to lie. Many years ago, he had promised Fubao that he would never lie to her, and they even made a pinky promise.
He naturally has to keep his promise.
"You, you really are, hey, come and have your meal, and then go back and have a rest." Jiang Fubao couldn't bear to scold, but also couldn't bear to say anything, after all, Brother Bujiu had hurried back for her.
With a distressed look on her face, she called Meng Bujiu to sit down.
Jiang Ruyi, who was originally sitting next to her, tactfully changed her seat and gave her seat to Meng Bujiu.
This got a big smile from Dong Qingyuan.
[This child is really considerate! I will give her a nice headpiece tomorrow.] Dong Qingyuan said in her heart.
After sitting down, Jiang Fubao did not rush to eat, but opened the lunch box first.
She found that the snacks and pastries inside were easily perishable, but they did not seem to be spoiled. She had been to the south of the Yangtze River twice and knew the journey. It was so hot in autumn, but the food was not spoiled. There was only one possibility, that is, they had rushed all the way back without stopping.
Could it be that Brother Bujiu hasn’t slept for two or three days in a row?
Jiang Fubao was a little angry. He was not taking care of his own health. What if he fell ill again?
But his godfather and godmother were both here, and Jiang Fubao didn’t want to make them worry, so he finished the meal with anger suppressed.
After getting down from the table, she winked at Meng Bujiu, and then the two of them went to the second courtyard one after the other.
"What's wrong, Fubao?" Meng Bujiu asked in confusion when he came under the tree in the second courtyard.
"What's the matter? If something happens to you, what will your godfather and godmother do? Let me..." Jiang Fubao stopped halfway through his sentence.
Her breathing was a little heavy and it was very obvious.
The last time she saw Meng Bujiu on the verge of death, she had nightmares for several days in a row. She dreamed that her brother Bujiu was dead, lying in a blood-red coffin, without a sound, with sunken cheeks and only a layer of skin left.
The godfather, godmother, godgrandfather, and grandma Rong cried so hard that they fainted. White cloth was hung everywhere in the Dong family's house, and the two white lanterns at the door were heartbreaking.
If he fell ill again, even Jiang Fubao himself would not be sure that he could completely cure her.
Her medical skills are good, but not good enough to save people from the hands of the King of Hell.
If he didn't sleep for several days and died suddenly on the road, he would be gone in a short while. How could she get there in time?
She continued, "You haven't fully recovered yet. If you continue like this for a few days, are you going to die? I'd rather not eat these things than have anything happen to you."
She was really angry, and her eyes were misty.
"I'm sorry, Fubao. I know I was wrong. I just don't want to disappoint you. I promised you that I would come back on your birthday. I can't break my promise. Don't worry, I rested for a while on the way and slept. I'm fine. I'm in good spirits."
Meng Bujiu quickly apologized.
He did sleep, and slept for half an hour while he changed horses.
I slept for less than two hours in total from Jiangnan back to Lianshan Town.
He was very sleepy, so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes. However, fearing that Jiang Fubao would get angry, he forced himself to stay awake and actually somersaulted in front of Jiang Fubao and landed steadily on the ground.
It actually made Jiang Fubao laugh.
"What a fool you are! Why didn't I realize how stupid you are before? You are getting worse and worse as you grow older."
In her heart, the always calm and steady Brother Bujiu now seems like Brother Bujiu.
"I'm really not sleepy. I'm in good health. Fubao's medical skills are so great. There's nothing wrong with my body. Thank you, Doctor Jiang. Thank you for saving my life. I can't repay you in this life. I'm willing to work like a cow or a horse in the next life to repay you. I hope Doctor Jiang will not be angry with me."
Meng Bujiu bowed to Jiang Fubao with a playful smile, looking a little weird. Fortunately, there were no outsiders around, otherwise they would be scared to death to see that their county magistrate was like this in private.
The anger that was blocking Jiang Fubao's heart also completely dissipated.
It’s not that brother Bu Ju stayed up late because of her.
Therefore, she is the one who has the least right to be angry.
She wanted to eat all the food by herself.
This way I won’t let my brother Bujiu down.
However, there were some flaws in what Meng Bujiu said just now, so Jiang Fubao glared at him and replied: "Humph, if you are beautiful, I will say that I am willing to repay you with my body. If you meet an ugly person, I will be your slave in the next life. What, Brother Bujiu, do you think I am ugly? Then I will leave?"
