My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 1207 - 1213: A Bit of Melancholy

"Mrs. Tan, these were just pickled this year, and they are perfect to eat right now. You should try some."

Wen Qing took some candied fruit with a small dish.

He had a slight knowledge of medicine and had not brought over any hawthorn sweets.

Qiao Duo’er quickly chose her favorite flavors, but she was a bit dumbfounded when she saw the jars Wen Qing had people bring over.

The jar was half a meter tall; even if one were to eat it as a meal, it would last until next year.

However, she had an idea.

She owned several restaurants and had entrusted them to reliable managers. They were doing okay, which meant business was mediocre.

Now that Duo Meifang was facing obstacles, why not consider some new dishes?

Sour date cake, kumquat cake, rock sugar hawthorn drink, candied fruit shaved ice...

These foods were not only novel but also appetizing and could dispel the summer heat. They were bound to be popular. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

"Pack two pounds of each for me," Duo’er changed her mind, "and let Ming Lan know—I’ll come to visit in a few days."

Wen Qing promptly complied, thinking that Ming Lan’s desired acquaintance wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult.

Perhaps her thoughts were quicker due to her pregnancy.

Duo’er planned to consider these foods when she got home, but she realized she had overestimated her energy.

Although this pregnancy did not have many symptoms, she was easily fatigued.

As soon as she got home, she lay on her bed, not wanting to move even a finger.

Tangyuan pouted and said, "Dad, mom is pregnant, and you don’t even take care of her."

What if it exhausted their little brother?

Qiao Duo’er laughed at her mature demeanor: "You seem to know quite a lot."

"Of course, I’m an apprentice of Medicine King, and I’ll be a doctor too!" Tangyuan said proudly.

If mom ever got hurt again, she wouldn’t be as useless as before, only able to cry.

"Amazing!" Duo’er generously complimented.

She had always thought Bai Yifan favored Tangyuan and felt she was cut out for medicine, but now that Tangyuan recognized most of the herbs, she believed her daughter truly had a gift.

However, what worried her was Tangyuan’s interest in poisons.

Green Group said calmly, "Let’s go to the study and let mom rest properly."

After speaking, he took Tangyuan with him.

In the study, Tangyuan pouted and said, "Suddenly, I don’t want a little brother anymore."

If she had known that a little brother would be a burden for her mother, she would never have secretly switched her father’s medicine.

Of course, what hurt her most was feeling that her parents didn’t care about her as much, even though she knew it wasn’t that they didn’t love her, but her mother wasn’t well and couldn’t attend to everything.

"Mom will give birth in a few months, and then we’ll have a little follower."

Green Group comforted her.

Being an older brother or sister meant they could boss around a little brother, and the thought alone felt prestigious.

"That’s true; alright, I’m going to play with Master." Tangyuan shook off her melancholy.

Worst case, she could settle the score with her little brother once he arrived.

Guest room.

Bai Yifan was studying medical texts, and Tangyuan quickly climbed onto his lap.

"Master, do you love me the most?"

Tangyuan blinked her watery eyes.

Bai Yifan was taken aback, but soon grasped Tangyuan’s thoughts.

"You’re my only apprentice. If not you, whom would I love?" Bai Yifan teased by flicking her nose.

Tangyuan nodded in satisfaction: "Then continue teaching me to recognize herbs, and take me to gather them when I’ve learned them all."

"No problem!"

Bai Yifan agreed readily. In another two months, she should have completed her studies, and it would be autumn—a good time to go to the mountain without harming her tender cheeks.
