Ode to Joy - Healers don't heal themselves

Tan Zongming followed Su Yaqing into the door. Although it was an unfinished house with cement bricks, the room was cleaned up by Grandma Su, and it was full of life. Family photos can be seen everywhere, and the unique rustic style of the countryside

"Grandma, I'm back." Su Yaqing called out first when she entered the door, seeing that Grandma Su was not in the living room

"Qing, come back!" Grandma Su came out of the back room with vigorous steps

"Grandma is good!" Tan Zongming bowed slightly to say hello to Grandma Su

"You...you are the one called...Tan..." Grandma Su couldn't name Tan Zongming when she saw familiar eyes

"Tan Zongming, we met again in Shanghai." Tan Zongming took the conversation, put down his things and held Grandma Su's hand respectfully

"Yes, yes, our Yaqing's boyfriend." Grandma Su held Tan Zongming's hand vigorously

"Grandma's village feast is about to start, I'll go in and change first," Su Yaqing said helplessly to the excited Grandma Su

"Go ahead, nod your hands carefully." Grandma Su nodded

"Xiao Tan, you are finally here. Are you having conflicts? Yaqing is a stubborn child, but she has a very kind heart. You should be more tolerant of her, and what is going on with her hands?" Su Seeing Su Yaqing close the door, grandma pulled Tan Zongming to sit down and asked with concern

"Grandma, Yaqing is fine, and we are fine, but her hand was accidentally injured and she needs time to recuperate. She misses you again, so she will come back to accompany you." Tan Zongming looked at Grandma Su sincerely and said, then pretended to be a little She smiled shyly, "I miss her too, so this time I'm here to pick her up and go back to Shanghai, just because I'm afraid she won't let you go back"

"This child, I brought up this child two months after she was born. She has been away for so many years and hasn't come back. I also miss her, but career is the first priority. When the child grows up, he will always have to walk on his own." Grandma Su clasped her hands tightly. Tan Zongming's hand said "I made her lazy when I went home, take her away quickly"

"You don't want to leave her, you can go to live in Shanghai with us, let Yaqing and I honor you well" Tan Zongming could feel Grandma Su's reluctance, and thought of a way to have the best of both worlds

"I can't adapt to the busy life in the big city. If you go there, you still have to leave your work to take care of me. It will cause you all trouble. How nice it is here. Every day, I go out for a walk and talk nonsense to my neighbors. One day passes." Grandma Su is loving smiling and shaking his head

After Su Yaqing changed her clothes and came out, she saw Grandma Su and Tan Zongming being as affectionate as grandparents and grandchildren. They interrupted their conversation by checking the time

"Grandma should go, or they will come to invite you later." Grandma Su is the oldest and the oldest person in the whole village. The village banquet held in the village every September is mainly to bless the elderly before the Double Ninth Festival.

"I'm going to add another pair of bowls and chopsticks." Grandma Su got up and went to the kitchen to prepare

For the village banquet, the village paid for the host to prepare the meals, but each family brought the bowls and chopsticks by themselves. Tan Zongming took the bowls and chopsticks and followed Grandma Su and Su Yaqing to the ancestral hall

The small ancestral hall is neatly filled with eight square tables. Grandma Su was asked to sit at the first table, and Su Yaqing took Tan Zongming to sit at the back table

Tan Zongming, who has seen many big scenes, is a little embarrassed in the face of such a simple but humane scene. Seeing Su Yaqing chatting with other people harmoniously, and the relaxed and undefended look on her eyebrows, Tan Zongming feels that this This is the real look, simple, loves to laugh, and has no sense of distance!

Following the opening of the banquet with the words of the village chief, the firecrackers at the entrance of the ancestral hall exploded, and the old and young people in the ancestral hall raised their wine glasses to toast each other lively. Su Yaqing led Tan Zongming to stand up and toast to the elders at the first table from afar

The dishes for the banquet were brought out from the kitchen one after another. The dishes were not refined enough, or even messy and ordinary, but the enthusiasm of the villagers coupled with the steaming heat of the food made the hungry people full of appetite

Tan Zongming lived a good life since he was a child. Many folk customs have only been seen in books or even videos, but when he really appeared in them, he was a little at a loss for a while. A table of eight people is intimate with each other. , the sound of adults persuading people to drink, the noise of children, and the smell of saltpeter from firecrackers are mixed in the aroma of food.

"Eat this." Knowing that Tan Zongming must not be used to the dining environment here, Su Yaqing used a large bowl from the kitchen to serve him another meal

"What about you?" Tan Zongming saw that Su Yaqing's bowl only contained a few dishes that had just been served.

"I'm a doctor, so I still have common sense of hygiene," Su Yaqing said in a low voice

"Then why don't you suggest that everyone pay attention?" Seeing that everyone was not paying attention, Tan Zongming divided half of the food in the bowl into Su Yaqing's bowl

"You can revolt and try." Su Yaqing covered her mouth and said

"I suggest you go back to Shanghai with me?" Tan Zongming took the opportunity to express his purpose

"Boring" Su Yaqing continued to eat as if she didn't know

Seeing Su Yaqing's unmoved look, Tan Zongming stood up at once, "Hello, folks, my name is Tan Zongming, and I want to say something..."

"You are crazy, can the folk customs of hundreds of years be changed if you change it?" Su Yaqing got up in fright and quickly pulled Tan Zongming back, she was afraid that Tan Zongming would really impulsively propose this question

"Yaqing, let him say what he wants to say, he is a visitor." The village head looked at Tan Zongming curiously, and everyone looked at Tan Zongming and Su Yaqing who stood up quietly.

"Do you agree to go back with me?" Tan Zongming turned his head and asked Su Yaqing's ear

"Tan Zongming, don't take advantage of the fire." Su Yaqing looked at Tan Zongming with a smile and gritted her teeth and said in a voice that only two people could hear

"I call it striking while the iron is hot." Tan Zongming looked at Su Yaqing with a bright smile on his face, his lips slightly parted, "Everyone is watching, you only have three seconds."

"Tan Zongming!!!" Su Yaqing raised her voice in warning

"3...2..." Tan Zongming looked at everyone with an indifferent smile

"Good!!!" Su Yaqing was defeated by Tan Zongming's rascal

"Old Tan, do you want to announce something?" Su Yaqing negotiated with Tan Zongming's sparkling eyes. Su Kai, who was sitting next to him, heard the conversation clearly. Hearing that Su Yaqing had compromised, he suppressed his laughter and stood up for Tan Zongming. pick up

"Yes!" Tan Zongming took Su Yaqing's hand, and solemnly looked at the men, women and children in the ancestral hall, "I am Su Yaqing's boyfriend, and the elders here grew up watching Yaqing, and Yaqing often said that you were right since childhood." She is very good, like a family, and I, Tan Zongming, promise to my family here that I will take good care of Yaqing, treat her as a treasure in my hand, and will not let her suffer any more grievances." Tan Zongming picked up the wine bowl and drank Down a bowl full of farmhouse baijiu

Tan Zongming took Su Yaqing's hand and kissed it. This idea was decided temporarily just now. He was betting, betting on Su Yaqing's feelings for him, betting on Su Yaqing's soft heart. If he loses, he will continue to work hard, but today he bet Won

Su Yaqing listened to Tan Zongming solemnly making promises to familiar people in this century-old ancestral hall. It was impossible not to be moved. She never thought that Tan Zongming would be impulsive for her, follow the Romans for her, and throw away extravagance for her. expensive shelf

"Okay!!!!" There was cheers and applause from the ancestral hall

The village feast became Tan Zongming's reception banquet. Tan Zongming not only toasted the old people and elders, but also toasted men, women and children. Rao Tan Zongming, who had been in the wine market for a long time, also got drunk. In the end, it was Grandma Su who stopped everyone. Tan Zongming kept a trace of sobriety and was supported by Su Kai to go home, so that he would not be carried back
