Tang Zhicheng helped cover the hospitalization fees and delivered the rescued Gao Xiangchun to the ward before finally pushing the cart back home. After all this busy work, it was already late by the time he returned home.
There was no time to prepare braised pork, so he could only go pick up Ye Fangfei from work first. When Tang Zhicheng arrived, Ye Fangfei was already waiting for him at the door.
He pedaled quickly until he reached her side, stopping the bicycle with his foot. "Wife, were you worried waiting here?"
"No, I just came out myself," she replied, sitting on the back seat of the bicycle. "Let’s go home."
On the way, Tang Zhicheng told Ye Fangfei about Gao Xiangchun's situation.
"Is there really such a thing? Wouldn't Gao Xiangchun hate Gao Huaihua for this?" she asked in surprise.
"What will happen to Gao Xiangchun? Does he have to go back to the countryside?" Ye Fangfei couldn't believe there was such a situation; it truly challenged her worldview.
"What else can be done? I guess he’ll just have to return to the countryside if he’s better now. His name has already been reported," Tang Zhicheng replied.
"So it’s just letting Gao Huaihua off easy? Is Gao Xiangchun okay with that? I bet their family will still cause trouble," Ye Fangfei said.
"You should keep your distance from the Gao family. I have a feeling something else will happen there," Tang Zhicheng said with concern.
"Okay, I understand. I'm not familiar with them anyway," Ye Fangfei agreed.
As they chatted, they arrived home.
"I wanted to make you braised pork, but now it's too late for that," he said.
"How about this: you rest for a bit, and I'll make you sweet and sour pork instead. It’s quicker," Tang Zhicheng suggested as he parked the bicycle in a shady spot and washed his hands to prepare dinner.
"I'll help you," Ye Fangfei said as she followed him into the kitchen.
As they say, teamwork makes the work easier. With his wife by his side, Tang Zhicheng felt energized while cooking.
He prepared a mix of rice and millet for their main dish and set it to steam first. Then he started handling the pork belly; for sweet and sour pork, only lean meat was needed, so he trimmed off the fatty parts to render some oil.
Just right, as there wasn't much cooking oil left at home. He poured the rendered oil and scraps into a bowl.
In the kitchen, with the oil sizzling in the pan, Ye Fangfei watched Tang Zhicheng work methodically.
As she observed his skilled movements, she genuinely felt fortunate. In her modern life, she had dated a few boyfriends, but each one had their shortcomings, which ultimately led to their breakups. Little did she expect that in this era, a casual blind date would lead her to find a treasure like Tang Zhicheng. Not only was he capable of making money, but he also handled household chores with ease.
Though they had only been married for a short time, whenever Tang Zhicheng was home, he took care of all the household tasks. He even washed Ye Fangfei's clothes for her. This was something that even modern men often struggled to do, let alone the men of this time.
Take Ye Jianguo, for instance; he did nothing around the house. Washing clothes and cooking were solely Haochunying's responsibilities.
After they finished dinner, Tang Zhicheng rode his bicycle to take Ye Fangfei to work.
In the afternoon, he returned home with a load of coal. It was already late September, and winter was just around the corner; preparations needed to be made. Not only coal, but they also needed to buy cabbage, potatoes, and radishes in the coming days. They had to stock up on pickled vegetables and gather firewood for kindling as well. There were many things to worry about when it came to living their lives.
