After the halo of the heroine was taken away, I was reborn

When someone praised his daughter-in-law, Ji Shaobei was naturally proud of her, but others were restrained and didn't say much, then smiled at Gu Jinyao.

Zhao Xiaogang was different. He immediately told Gu Jinyao about the rice krispie treats and fat sausage noodles they were selling in the town, and praised Gu Jinyao, saying that the delicacies from the mountains and seas were not as delicious as the food she made.

Who wouldn’t want to take a few bites of something delicious? Dr. Chang said it was a pity because he would have to go back early tomorrow morning.

This is not a problem. Gu Jinyao makes sausage every day now. It is only finished in the afternoon. She can heat it in the kitchen and eat it.

Doctor Chang was naturally happy when he heard this.

Gu Jinyao immediately put the bowls down and went to the kitchen.

After a while, Ji Shaobei also followed.

He still remembered Ji Lan's unusual behavior.

Gu Jinyao told him about the time when the Lu family came to ask for someone.

"I don't know what the Lu family means, but most of them are thinking of doing bad things because their sister is getting better."

Ji Shaobei frowned, "I'll have someone go to Longwan Village to inquire about it later."

Gu Jinyao nodded and talked about the various anomalies Ji Lan encountered when she met her ex-mother-in-law in the town.

"My sister is very afraid of her and keeps hiding as if she has seen a ghost. Something must have happened in the Wei family that scared her, so she has been pretending to be crazy before, but she is not pretending now. But her situation is not very good.

Well, I can’t sleep at night, I’m sensitive and fragile, and I also have nightmares.”

For the past two nights, Gu Jinyao and Mengmeng slept with Ji Lan, otherwise Ji Lan would not be able to sleep at all.

Gu Jinyao felt that her appearance was somewhat similar to what later generations would call depression.

Ji Shaobei fell into deep thought and said with some self-blame: "I was negligent in the past."

Ji Lan pretended to be crazy, but he didn't notice it.

Gu Jinyao sighed, it's not that the man is not keen enough, but that he has no defense against his relatives.

Moreover, Ji Lan pretended to be too similar. She didn't even live like a real person when she was in the Lu family. Even if her mind was clear, she was no different from a lunatic by making herself look like that.

Gu Jinyao persuaded him, "In the past few years, you were inseparable from the army, and things in the village were beyond your reach. And I think my sister is unwilling to talk about those things. Maybe there is something unspeakable."

If Ji Lan wanted to say it, he would have said it that night.

But she didn't mention a word, and Gu Jinyao thought she might have concerns or find it difficult to say anything.

Ji Shaobei: "I will find someone to investigate this matter. Please pay more attention to my sister's hard work."

Gu Jinyao glanced at him and said, "You're so outspoken."

Ji Shaobei smiled at her, with a hint of warmth on his expressionless face.

It happened that the fat intestines were hot at this time, so Gu Jinyao filled a bowl and went out.

When Dr. Chang tasted it, he found that, as Zhao Xiaogang said, delicacies from mountains and seas were not as fragrant.

After dinner, Gu Jinyao cleared away the dishes and Dr. Chang sat under the lamp to consult.

Ji Lan was very cooperative this time, avoiding talking about her pretending to be crazy and mentioning all other symptoms.

Dr. Chang wrote a medical record, then frowned and prescribed some sleep-destroying drugs.

Gu Jinyao was busy in the kitchen, and she didn't hear the consultation process. She only saw Dr. Chang and Ji Shaobei talking outside afterwards.

That night, Dr. Chang stayed overnight at Zhao's house.

Early the next morning, Wu Huijuan came over to help make rice krispie treats, and Gu Jinyao prepared breakfast and turned up the small stove to fry rice noodles.

Doctor Chang said last night that he would go back by car this morning.

Time is limited and the big iron pot is occupied again.

Gu Jinyao was about to make steamed pork with rice noodles. She first fried the rice noodles, and then cut into sweet potato cubes and pork belly.

When making steamed pork, the villagers don't need to steam it with water. They directly put the sweet potatoes on the drained rice soup, and then put the seasoned pork belly wrapped in rice noodles.

When the rice is cooked, the sweet potato pieces and meat are also ready.

The steamed pork belly in this way has the sweetness of rice, and the fat from the pork belly can just flow on the rice, giving the white rice a different flavor.

After closing the lid of the cauldron, Gu Jinyao stir-fried two more side dishes on the small stove and cooked pea sprouts and egg soup. This would be a good breakfast for guests.

Breakfast is ready and it's dawn.

Song Guangguang didn't come to pull rice candy today, but he told Xiang Wenfeng when he left at noon yesterday.

She looked at the snow and thought that the mountain road was difficult to walk. She felt sorry for her son and suspended her business for two days.

After a while, Dr. Chang came over from Zhao's house and asked Gu Jinyao about Ji Lan's sleep last night.

Gu Jinyao: "I fell asleep not long after taking the medicine. I just woke up."

Dr. Chang nodded, "Just take the medicine as it is. The psychological problems need to be solved by those of you around me."

Gu Jinyao nodded.

After breakfast, Ji Shaobei sent Dr. Chang to town by car, and Zhao Xiaogang took Wu Huijuan with him to open the business.

Yesterday's snow gradually stopped at night. Fortunately, the snow on the road was not deep and the foreign car could drive on it.

Gu Jinyao stood at the entrance of the courtyard and watched several people leave. After a while, Ji Lan came over and stood behind her.

"Where does Shao Bei drive in the city?" she asked.

This was the first time Ji Lan took the initiative to ask about people and things at home.

Gu Jinyao: "He works in a machinery factory. He mainly drives small cars and takes leaders on business trips for meetings."

Machinery factory...

Ji Lan was silent and then stopped talking.

Gu Jinyao turned around and asked, "Sister, do you have something to say?"

Ji Lan shook his head and turned back.

Gu Jinyao looked at her back and frowned. Just now she clearly saw a trace of confusion and sadness in Ji Lan's eyebrows.

Fengyu Town.

It's snowing today and there are only a few people entering the city.

Ji Shaobei cleaned the snow off the foreign car and directly helped Dr. Chang put the car into the compartment.

After seeing Doctor Chang off, Ji Shaobei did not rush back, but went to the police station.

"Shao Bei, why are you here? It's cold outside. Come in and sit down."

Director Qian saw him and quickly called people in.

The two chatted some gossip and talked about household matters. Ji Shaobei said: "Uncle Qian, there are some things I want to check and I want you to introduce two people. I don't know if it's convenient."

Director Qian tutted, "Why are you so polite to me? I'll find you a young man in the institute."

Ji Shaobei: "Uncle, it's a private matter and I don't want to disturb their work."

"Don't bother me. Those boys also need to rest. If you have anything to do, just tell them directly."

"By the way, my Chaoyang wrote a letter a few days ago and asked about you. When that kid goes on vacation next year, you two can have a good time together."

Director Qian quickly called for two smart young men to come over, and Ji Shaobei took them outside.

"Do you know the Jiebian Village Wei family?" he asked.

Both young men nodded, "Comrade Ji, you are talking about Chef Wei and his family."

Wei Guang works as the chef at Jiangcheng Hotel and is quite famous.

Ji Shaobei: "Well. There is something, I want you to help find out..."
