The power of the first refuge formula

  Tan Shuai and Zhang Qian ate and sat for a while before leaving.

  After they left, Sun Zhenxiang tidied up the table and helped Chenxu put on her coat. Suddenly, she said: "Our house is too small, there's no place for anyone to live, why not turn the old house into a two-story building?" As she spoke, she looked at Zhao Bingxing and Zhao Yang.

  At this time, Zhao Yang was rubbing his palms together and applying the medicinal wine to Zhao Bingxing's shoulders and back. After his treatment, Zhao Bingxing's lungs had basically recovered, but perhaps due to the short recovery time or maybe because of the arrival of winter, coupled with drinking some white wine tonight, he started coughing in the evening.

  Zhao Yang naturally attaches great importance to it, and immediately takes out medicinal wine to help him warm up and drive away the cold!

  It's a fact that there's no place for guests to stay at home: the west wing has become a room dedicated to storing things, and the orchard is occupied by Zhao Yang and Chen Mei. When guests come, it's really impossible to accommodate them. Zhao Yang also thinks it's not bad to renovate the old house and build a two-story small building!

  But now it's not like before, the traffic is not convenient, walking to relatives late can only stay overnight, now who isn't leaving on the same day? Just take Tan Shuai for example, he has his own car!

  But before Zhao Yang could speak, Zhao Bingxing, who had a lot of confidence this year due to the increased income from the orchard and felt that he had no place to spend his money, waved his hand and said: "Build it!"

  Sun Zhenxiang put Chen Xiu on his leg, straightened her clothes and casually asked: "If we are going to build a house, where will the two of us live?" As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Yang with great significance.

  If the old house is going to be rebuilt, Sun Zhenxiang and the two of them will have nowhere to live if they don't go to the orchard. Now Zhao Yang and Chen Mei each have a room, where can they live?

  Isn't it asking about his emotional relationship with Chen Mei? This question is really subtle!

  Zhao Yang said calmly: "It's winter now, and even if we want to turn it over, we'll have to wait until next summer."

  Sun Zhenxiang immediately followed with a sentence, saying: "Then it's settled, we'll move next summer!" And happily swayed Chen Xi, saying: "Next year our family will live in a small foreign-style building, are you excited or not, Xi Xi?"

  Chen Xi asked in a soft voice, "Grandma, what is this small Western-style house?"

  "Xiao Yang Lou has many rooms, after it's built, you won't have to go to the orchard at night, our whole family can live together, what do you think?"

  Seeing Sun Zhenxiang's delighted expression, Chenxiao exclaimed loudly: "Good!" and also burst out laughing.

  ……

  Zhang Qian was indeed very good to Tan Shuai, and in order to urge him to lose weight, when Zhao Yang took him mountain climbing, she followed along, from time to time cheering Tan Shuai on.

  As long as the blood supply is sufficient and there are no negative feelings such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or inability to move one's legs, hiking can be a fun-filled activity!

  Now in this season, looking up at Yulong Mountain from below is still lush and green, but walking up will reveal that most of the grass has withered, and the leaves on the shrubs have all fallen off. However, it's precisely this way that the mountain's skin is exposed, and the view becomes even more expansive!

  Under Zhao Yang's leadership, they had unknowingly climbed halfway up the mountain, which was almost unimaginable for Tan Shuai in the past!

  Looking down from the waist of the mountain, the neat fields, the semi-circular roads and the villages that are scattered like horses' hooves all come into view; looking to the right, there is the slightly thin Yulong Waterfall and the Longtan Pool which looks like a jade mirror; looking up, the sky is high and far away, without any impurities on it; plus the cool wind blowing by, but now that the body has warmed up from activity, it just feels refreshing! Tan Shuai couldn't help but let out a loud shout towards the mountain below!

  Chen Xi, who was sitting on Zhao Yang's shoulder, also called out a few times after hearing this, and then burst out laughing. Pointing at the small birds flying between the trees, she asked what this was and what that was. When they arrived at a flat area, she struggled to get Zhao Yang to put her down, bent down to pick up some small stones of different colors and had Zhao Yang collect them for her.

  This season is also a good time to pick medicines such as rehmannia glutinosa, asparagus cochinchinensis and pueraria root.

  Zhao Yang let Tan Shuai and Zhang Qian rest for a while, then he took Chen Xi to pick these herbs. When they encountered the herbs, he always asked Chen Xi to take a closer look at them several times, so that she could remember their shapes and practice drawing later. At the same time, he also explained the properties of these medicines to her, not expecting her to memorize everything, but hoping that she could learn something new.

  By noon, Zhao Yang led them to a small stream and prepared for a picnic.

  This is just the season when wild rabbits are fat, it would be great if they could catch one! However, they were unlucky and didn't even see a single rabbit hair!

  Of course, they didn't have to catch rabbits for a picnic. They had already prepared many things before coming: there were ham, stringed five-flower meat, braised tofu and various vegetables such as fresh mushrooms, green peppers, spinach brought by Tan Shuai and others, and even a alcohol stove and several bowls.

  Zhao Yang is in charge of roasting meat and vegetables, while Zhang Qian washes pots and vegetables to prepare a soup.

  Watching the red and white striped ham gradually turn golden and transparent, with oil dripping onto the fire and splashing out sparks, making a sizzling sound, Tan Shuai opened his mouth, but found that for this delicious food he used to drool over just thinking about it, the urgent desire to eat it seemed to have faded somewhat!

  Zhao Yang roasted one piece and handed it over to Chen Xiu after it had cooled down a bit. After roasting the second piece, he gave it to Tan Shuai.

  Tan Shuai took a bite and the wonderful taste suddenly rushed into his brain, tongue, mouth and stomach!

  Delicious!

  However, seeing Zhang Qian's gritted teeth, Tan Shuai handed over the remaining half to Zhang Qian's mouth and smiled: "You eat!"

  Zhang Qian bit down, rewarding him with a flirtatious glance. As she ate the hot and savory ham, she suddenly felt strange - usually, even if she just used her eyes to express dissatisfaction, let alone snatch or grab, this remaining half-slice of ham was so delicious, it should have gone into his belly by now!

  Tan Shuai eats with such relish that he almost swallows his tongue, but once he takes the food away from his mouth, the feeling of devouring a meal disappears again!

  Tan Shuai's performance at this picnic was still satisfactory to Zhang Qian: although he grabbed the meat and wanted to eat it, he wouldn't stop even if he didn't say anything, but after saying something, he could still hold back!

  ……

  By Monday, Chen Mei had recovered and joined the mountain climbing team.

  There were two women with us, and the process of climbing naturally became more lively and interesting.

  Watching Chenxi under the leadership of Zhao Yang and Chen Mei picking a wild chrysanthemum, Zhang Qian felt a warmth in her eyes at the harmonious scene of the family. She pulled Tan Shuai's hand and asked in a low voice: "Shouldn't we also have a daughter?"

  Tan Shuai was chewing on a wild grass, his mouth open in a smile, saying "Got it!"

  Zhang Qian looked up at him and patted his belly, saying: "You have to work hard!"

  Tan Shuai nodded and said: "I'll listen to you!"

  Zhang Qian hummed and gently massaged his legs, saying: "Yesterday your feet were all blistered, are they still painful? Are your legs sore?"

  Tan Shuai shifted his buttocks and said: "After using the medicinal wine given by Yang Ge, my legs don't ache, but my feet hurt!"

  "Zhang Qian clenched her fists and said: "The pain in your foot is nothing! Shuai, for the sake of our daughter, you must hold on!"

  Tan Shuai looked at Chen Xi who was fluttering around Zhao Yang and Chen Mei's legs like a white butterfly, and nodded heavily!

  Chen Mei and Zhang Qian were of similar age, and because of Zhao Yang and Tan Shuai's relationship, the two quickly became close friends who could talk about anything. It is not clear what they talked about, but by Wednesday, Tan Shuai was following Zhao Yang to climb mountains and exercise, while she went to help Chen Mei with her store!

  It's also good this way, Chen Mei doesn't have to go to the store in the afternoon, so she has more time to stay at home.

  For people who are losing weight, a larger exercise is indispensable, and exercise is often the hardest to stick to!

  But this time, Tan Shuai was very happy to stick to it for a week. This is because losing weight at Zhao Yang's place doesn't require controlling one's diet!

  There's a saying that goes, "You need to eat your fill before you have the energy to lose weight!" Although it's known that the body has accumulated a lot of energy, in theory, only by ensuring the minimum supply can one consume the body's fat during exercise. However, for the vast majority of people, engaging in intense exercise on an empty stomach is a very painful thing!

  But here in Zhao Yang, although he didn't control his diet, his weight didn't increase, but instead dropped by three catties! This is all thanks to the "Gui Yi Fang"!

  Tan Shuai noticed that his appetite was still big, but not as before, he didn't want to stop until he was full! Now, he listened to Zhao Yang's words and stopped eating when he was 70% full, without feeling any discomfort.

  What he didn't notice was that his fondness for various delicious meats also decreased, and now he only eats a few mouthfuls of lean meat.

  Seven days is often a barrier!

  After climbing the mountain for seven days, the feeling of slight physical heaviness passed, and Tan Shuai immediately felt that his body was lighter, and when he climbed the mountain again, he felt obviously more energetic!

  Another Monday arrived, Chenchen's wardrobe was still and quiet, Zhang Qian came to Longwo Village again.

  At dinner time, she found that Tan Shuai was only focused on eating with his head down and rarely picked up dishes to eat. She couldn't help but pick a piece of stir-fried green pepper and meat for him.

  Tan Shuai looked at the dish in the bowl, poured a bowl of water, skimmed off the oil before putting it in his mouth to eat, then smiled at everyone at the table: "This dish is too oily, haha!"

  Zhang Qian's eyes widened, was this still the meat-loving Tan Shuai?
