After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor
Chapter 11 Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated every year, some families are happy and some are sad
When the Mid-Autumn Festival came, Master Ding gave all the servants who had families a holiday, leaving only the Ding family of three, as well as Banxia and Chenxiang. Master Ding said he would invite all the employees in the medicine shop to celebrate the festival together. Only then did Ding Xirui realize that only Uncle Huang and Aunt Fan, who helped with cooking, had families to go back to, and the others were orphans.
"Dad, you are such a good man." Ding Xirui felt admiration for his father.
This was the first time that Ding Xirui celebrated the festival with so many people. She, Banxia and Chenxiang had been busy in the kitchen since morning. After all, they had to prepare dishes for more than a dozen people. In the past, Ding's father would order some dishes from the restaurant, but this year Ding Xirui proposed to give them to the three of them, and Ding's father happily agreed. No matter good or bad, they were all his family, so who would say anything? Besides, he believed in his daughter.
The chickens were bought from the market, and the stall owner had already cleaned them, otherwise, Ding Xirui and the other two would not be able to do the job of killing the chickens. Two big fat chickens, with marinade, were bubbling in a big pot, and soon, the yard was filled with tempting aromas; Banxia was good at cooking fish and shrimp, Chenxiang liked to cook tofu, and was also good at making soup, and Ding Xirui packed a few vegetarian dishes; and finally, a pot of steamed crabs, and the dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion dinner were ready.
Mrs. Ding was not idle either. She prepared a mooncake platter. The mooncakes looked very delicate and lovely. What were the men doing? Mr. Ding helped carry vegetables, fetch water, and prepare plates for his wife. He accidentally broke two of them, which made his wife scold him. The men worked in the medicine shop for most of the day and only arrived at the Ding family courtyard in the afternoon. Mr. Ding arranged for them to clean the entrance hall. With more people, there is more power. The Ding family courtyard was completely renewed.
"That's right, housework should be done by everyone together." Ding Xirui felt very satisfied.
The moon gradually rose, and the big table in the main hall was filled with people. Before this, Ding Xirui had wondered why the table for a family of three was so big. It turned out that they were waiting for this moment every year.
Mr. Ding stood up and said, "Today our family gathers here to reunite and to make the future more fulfilling. Come, cheers!"
"Cheers!" the family responded.
Ding Xirui looked at Xiao Liuzi. It was gratifying that the young man had almost recovered in more than ten days. However, Ding Xirui's occupational disease had recurred. She asked Banxia to pass on a message, asking Xiao Liuzi to drink less. Xiao Liuzi agreed with a smile, but still secretly took a few sips.
Facing the bright moon, Ding Xirui thought of the ancient drinking game, so he said to his father: "Dad, let's play a game."
"what game?"
"In the game of passing the flower to the beat of the drum, we don't learn to write poems like poets. Whoever gets the flower can show off his talent, any talent is fine," said Ding Xirui.
"Okay!" Without waiting for Father Ding to say anything, everyone agreed.
"Hahaha, if you're happy, that's fine." Father Ding said with a smile.
Banxia picked up a cockscomb from the yard and picked up a bamboo pole. Everyone sat down, Ding Xirui turned his back to everyone and knocked on the stools with a bamboo pole. Master Ding shouted "Stop", and whoever got the cockscomb started to perform. Everyone played this game for the first time, and it was novel and exciting. The eldest apprentice Dongqing showed how to write with both hands at the same time, which opened Ding Xirui's eyes. The second apprentice Liu Hua showed a handstand. The third apprentice went out for something. The fourth child recited a poem, the fifth child showed his cross-eyedness, and the sixth child told an adventure story vividly. At the end, he said that the hero in the story was himself, and everyone laughed. It was Ding Xirui's turn, and she told a joke:
"What is the hardest thing in the world?"
"bone?"
"Stone?"
"teeth?"
"No, no."
"what is that?"
"It's a beard." Ding Xirui shouted.
"Ah, why is it a beard? Why?" Everyone was puzzled.
"Look, the skin of a man is so thick that even a beard can show through it. Doesn't that mean the beard is the hardest thing in the world?"
"Hahahahahahahaha!" Everyone burst into laughter.
"If we talk about the one with the hardest beard, it must be Xiao Liuzi's!" Xiao Wuer said while pulling Xiao Liuzi's face, and everyone laughed even more happily.
Mother Ding laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes. She patted Ding Xirui and said, "You bad girl, where did you hear such a joke?" But she agreed very much about being thick-skinned. When Father Ding was pursuing her, he was as thick-skinned as he could be.
Looking at the scene of He He and Le Le, Ding Xirui thought of her parents in the 21st century. She looked up at the moon and prayed that she was still alive in that world, and prayed that her parents were healthy and everything went well.
On the other hand, the Lin family had an unusually quiet Mid-Autumn Festival this year. In previous years, because Mrs. Lin was healthy, the family was considerate of her mood and could have a meal together in harmony. This year, the old lady was ill and did not even get out of bed during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so the reunion dinner was very awkward. Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin did not talk to each other. Lin Mingyuan was weak, and the couple returned to their own courtyard very early. Lin Mingxuan was on pins and needles. After saying a few words of blessing, he quickly left without even eating a good meal.
After returning to the room, Lin Mingxuan and Nanxing ate mooncakes and admired the moon, as if they were a family. But it was true that since Lin Mingxuan came to the Lin family, Nanxing had been with him, growing up together, and had a very good relationship. It could be said that they were like family members.
"Young Master, next year you will have a young mistress to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with you," said Nanxing.
"Hmph~" Lin Mingxuan rolled his eyes at him.
"Young Master, didn't you save the Young Madam when you were a child? And the Young Madam pledged herself to you when she grew up. This is called fate." Nan Xing continued to add fuel to the fire.
"Get lost! I think I should find you a wife first and keep your mouth shut." Lin Mingxuan replied.
"I don't know what kind of person the young lady is. Nanxing really hopes that someone can take care of the young master." Nanxing put away her smile and said to Lin Mingxuan.
"Who knows? As long as you don't cause me trouble, it's fine." Lin Mingxuan said.
The moon was hidden in the clouds, and the evening wind gradually became cooler. Lin Mingxuan leaned his head against the door and thought about the days before he came to the Lin family. As far as he could remember, every Mid-Autumn Festival, his mother would make mooncakes by herself, and his father was good at peeling crabs, even carefully picking the meat from the crab legs and putting it in front of his mother and him. People are gone, time has passed, and he is left alone.
Tears were about to fall, Lin Mingxuan stopped reminiscing and went back to his room. He took out a travel journal with a broken cover from the small box inside the bed and started reading from the first page. It was a relic left by his mother. His mother's greatest wish was to travel around, but unfortunately, it was not possible for her to do so, and Lin Mingxuan did not have the opportunity to accompany her. Now his dream is the same, he wants to travel around and practice medicine to save lives.
