Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 428: Wipe My Sweat for Me
Han Jingchen also realized he’d asked the wrong question: "Yanyan, take your ti; Dad is just a bit curious."
Xinyan picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in her bowl: "Dad, previously I only morized what my ntor taught . This is the first ti I’ve used it to make dicine to treat soone. Honestly, I’m not entirely confident, but I trust it must be the right treatnt."
Han Jingchen encouraged: "It’s okay, there’s always a first ti for everything. Dad believes in you."
He Jinxuan used serving chopsticks to pick up a piece of rib and gave it to Xinyan: "Yes, we all believe in you."
Even though Han Jingchen agreed with He Jinxuan’s words, he was quite dissatisfied with him serving food to his daughter and the two of them imdiately locked eyes again.
Xinyan picked up the serving chopsticks and served a piece of tofu to Han Jingchen: "Dad, eating more soybean products is good for your health."
As Han Jingchen watched his daughter serve him food, the discontent in his heart instantly vanished. He gave He Jinxuan across the table a provocative look, but he also knew when to stop, after all, this was the person his young lady liked, and he didn’t want the young lady to be unhappy.
After dinner, Xinyan walked around the courtyard a few tis and chatted with Han Jingchen for a while before she prepared to brew so dicine.
Watching He Jinxuan cooperate seamlessly with his daughter, he couldn’t help but admit that this guy was indeed very attentive, truly treasuring his precious one.
After taking a deep breath, he turned and entered the study.
He couldn’t fall behind, so he dialed a number: "Hello, I’d like to speak with Master Du Wenbin."
The person on the other end of the phone asked: "Who’s calling?"
Han Jingchen stated his na: "I am Han Jingchen."
He then heard soone shouting on the other end: "Grandpa, soone for you."
He heard soone approaching: "Who is looking for ?"
The young person who answered the phone earlier said: "He said his na is Han Jingchen."
The elder quickened his steps and soon took the phone: "Jingchen, what made you think of this old man?"
Han Jingchen laughed and exchanged a few pleasantries before getting to the point: "My daughter is back in the Capital. She’s very interested in Chinese dicine, and I imdiately thought of you."
Du Wenbin, upon hearing this, replied: "You know my temperant and the rules of accepting disciples—despite our good relationship, these rules won’t change just because she is your daughter."
But he quickly realized: "Wait, when did you have a daughter?"
Han Jingchen had been waiting for him to ask, and he excitedly spoke about Xinyan, which actually led to her earning an opportunity to et: "Then we’re settled. In three days, I’ll bring her over. Don’t consider my face, just act as you would."
Du Wenbin laughed heartily: "Good, good, good, I’ll be waiting for you."
In the kitchen, Sister Chen and Uncle Chen had already tidied up and left. He Jinxuan kept his word, not making Xinyan stand at the hearth, but rather let her oversee as he stirred the dicine in the clay pot.
Xinyan noticed the fire was a bit strong: "Jinxuan, reduce the fire a bit; too much heat will cause the dicine to thicken prematurely and lose its potency."
He Jinxuan responded: "Okay."
He deftly drew out a few sticks of firewood and extinguished them with water, thoughtfully covering the pot with a lid beforehand, just in case ashes from the sticks fell into it.
Then he hurriedly stirred: "Yanyan, when should I add the final herb?"
Xinyan approached for a closer look at the dicine in the clay pot: "Add it once the mixture gets thick; the herb shouldn’t be added too early."
She noticed sweat on He Jinxuan’s forehead, fetched so water, and handed him a towel after wringing it dry: "Wipe your sweat."
He Jinxuan didn’t take the towel, instead he leaned his face forward: "You help wipe."
