The three of them stayed in the courtyard for a while, chatting for a bit before Wei Mingting invited the siblings to have tea and refreshments at Cangyun Garden.
During this time, Wei Mingting mentioned the Xishan Village where he and Wei Ruo had previously stayed overnight.
“The other day, I went to visit them. The village chief said everyone misses you, and they still talk about how delicious the food you made that day was.”
Not only did the villagers miss it, but even Wei Mingting and the soldiers who had also eaten Wei Ruo’s cooking that day still fondly remembered her dishes.
Wei Yilin looked at Wei Ruo with a surprised expression. “You can cook?”
Before Wei Ruo could answer, Wei Mingting replied, “Your elder sister’s cooking is the best I’ve ever tasted.”
Wei Yilin was stunned. “Even better than the osmanthus cakes made by Sister Wanwan?”
In Wei Yilin’s eyes, the osmanthus cakes made by his Wanwan sister were the most delicious desserts he had ever eaten.
“When it comes to cooking, your second sister is still a bit behind your elder sister,” Wei Mingting said matter-of-factly.
Wei Yilin found it hard to believe, but his father wouldn’t lie.
How good must Wei Qingruo’s cooking be? Wei Yilin couldn’t help but feel curious.
Wei Yilin stared at Wei Ruo with a suspicious look for a long while.
Wei Ruo couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him, deliberately ignoring his probing gaze. She continued to ask Wei Mingting, “How are the villagers in Xishan Village doing now? Will they be able to get through this year safely?”
Wei Mingting replied, “Their lives will definitely be harder this year. Not only the villagers, but even some families in the county town who usually live decently will also face difficulties. This year won’t be easy for them.”
Even the Wei family had been affected by the weather and had to rely on support from Bo Zhongyi's residence in the capital to maintain the daily expenses of the household.
“As long as they can get through it, it’ll be fine. After surviving this year, they can work on farming next year, and life will get better.” Wei Ruo said.
“Let’s hope so,” Wei Mingting replied, also hoping for better weather in the coming year, so that the people would have more opportunities to live.
Wei Mingting then added, “Ruo’er, you don’t need to worry too much. You’ve already helped them a great deal. Now, the people in Xingshan County, from top to bottom, are all grateful for your kindness.”
Recently, Wei Mingting had some free time, so he went to check on the people’s lives after the disaster. He had expected to learn about their situation, but he was surprised to find that his daughter had more prestige among the people than he did. Many referred to him as “Miss Wei’s father,” and many asked about his daughter’s well-being.
At that moment, Wei Mingting felt an unprecedented sense of pride as a father.
For the first time in his life, he felt such pride as a father.
However, he didn’t want his daughter to feel too pressured by this. He believed she should only do her best. In such difficult times, how much could one woman really change?
“I only did what was expected of me,” Wei Ruo replied.
Wei Yilin, listening to their conversation, realized that Wei Ruo was even more impressive than he had thought.
After finishing the tea and snacks, Wei Ruo and Wei Yilin left Cangyun Garden together.
Once they left the courtyard, Wei Ruo quickened her pace, intentionally trying to keep some distance from Wei Yilin.
But Wei Yilin ran up and called out to her, “Wait for me.”
“What do you want now?” Wei Ruo asked, her tone full of impatience.
Seeing the expression on Wei Ruo’s face, Wei Yilin felt a little down. He puffed out his cheeks and asked, “Why are you always so impatient with me? You obviously care about me. Can’t you be a bit gentler?”
