Chapter 1219 Obtaining the Moon (Part 1)

"Open your mouth, come and learn from me, ah——"

"ah--"

"Ah - Little Moon? Open your mouth?"

"Open your mouth, come and learn from me - ah - cough cough cough!" Maybe he opened his mouth too wide and swallowed a mouthful of cold winter air. Li Xingchu choked and coughed violently.

There were no patients in the clinic today. It was quiet and only Li Xingchu’s cough could be heard. The wall clock on the wall was ticking. Outside the glass door was the street scene in winter. The cold sky light shone through the glass door and the tiles in the clinic were glowing. White, next to a vase with yellow roses on the counter, a photo of a family of three in an amusement park lay quietly in the dim light.

After coughing, Li Xingchu wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes. He looked up and saw the cute little girl sitting on the hospital bed in front of him with his hands folded and his head pouted. As an old father, there was a hint of sadness on his eyebrows.

"Little Moon, be obedient and take the medicine. Your stomach won't hurt after taking the medicine." He continued to try to persuade her without giving up.

"Hmm." The little cutie pouted, "It tastes bad! I won't eat it!"

"This medicine is not bad to eat! Really! This is a capsule! The medicine is packed inside, which can protect your digestive organs and respiratory tract. The material of the capsule shell is gelatin, which has no taste. When you eat it, it feels like eating... Like eating candy?" Li Xingchu, holding the medicine in his hand, squatted in front of the cute little girl dangling her boots and tried his best to coax, "Little ancestor, didn't you say you have a stomachache? Take the medicine, you don't want to take the medicine. , you will not be able to recover from your illness, you will not be able to develop your appetite, and then you will have to lose weight again, and your mother will have to nag me again when you lose weight."

The little cutie sitting on the hospital bed hugged her little hands, listening to her father's nagging. When she felt bored, she curled her lips and turned her head away from the ugly crying face.

"Would you like to eat?" Li Xingchu suddenly changed his face, pretending to be fierce.

"Don't eat!" The little cutie was very persistent.

"If you don't eat, I'll beat you up!" Li Xingchu rolled up his sleeves.

The little cutie curled her lips even more fiercely and stopped talking. Li Xingchu paused for two seconds while lifting up his sleeves. He stretched his head and looked at the face of the little cutie who turned around. He found that it was full of grievances, and he looked like he was about to lose his pearls. look.

"Auntie! I beg you, just take the medicine! After you finish the medicine, can I take you to the amusement park behind the square on the weekend? You can do whatever you like! You can play balloons, throw darts, or ride rapids Yong Jin, I'll let you play, is that okay?" Li Xingchu enlarged his move.

"There are also pirate ships and roller coasters," the little cutie reminded.

"You're not tall enough to sit on that thing. I'd rather let you sit on it than let you get in!" Li Xingchu was at a loss.

"Woo" The little cutie is about to drop little pearls again.

The glass door of the clinic was pushed open, followed by the ringing of the bell on the door. The cold wind blew in from the street outside the door, making Li Xingchu shiver from the cold. He picked up his coat and put it on the little cutie in front of him. He stood up neatly and turned around with a 22℃ spring smile on his face, "Oh, my wife is off work! Thank you for your hard work!"

Li Muyue, who was wearing a gray woolen windbreaker, closed the glass door of the clinic and tugged on the buttons of the V-lined jacket inside to make her fair skin more breathable. She then picked up the air conditioner remote control panel at the front desk and set the temperature. After turning it down a few degrees, "Isn't there any money for the electricity bill? If the temperature is so high, just buy an air conditioner and keep it on. Don't let the air conditioner break and have to find someone to repair it."

"Hey, aren't you afraid that Little Moon will be cold? She has been feeling sick to her stomach recently. If she catches another cold, it will aggravate the cold and it will be over. And isn't the air conditioner the only thing you buy when you buy it? Don't feel bad!"

"It's all over, don't say such unlucky words." Li Muyue took off her coat and hung it on the coat rack in the corner. She casually glanced at the little cutie sitting on the bed, "Yuexian, take the medicine." have eaten."

"It's no use! I've been trying to persuade her like this for a whole day, but she's... Uh-huh." Li Xingchu suddenly felt his hands were empty. He turned around and saw his little cutie swallowing the capsule in one gulp, then holding the water glass with both hands and drinking it.

"Isn't this pretty good?" Li Muyue leaned over and stretched out her hand to scratch the little cutie's nose, "Have you listened to your father at home?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yuexian nodded vigorously, but his eyes were a little deviated, as if he felt guilty.

"Lie!" Li Xingchu exposed it immediately, "I just gave her medicine, but she refused to take it! She even threatened me and asked me to take her to the amusement park!"

"Oh? Is this the case?" Li Muyue looked at the cute little girl sitting in front of her with interest, her head turned sideways and her mouth closed, and she was already sweating.

"Dad! Liar!" the little cutie muttered.

"Lies! Wife, you know me well. When I go out and look at women passing by, I will confess to you and write a test report when I come home. I will never lie to you, no matter who I lie to in this life."

"You mean Yuexian is lying?" Li Muyue smiled and said, "Children who misbehave must be spanked."

The little cutie sitting on the bed immediately covered her butt behind her back with both hands, her face full of fear, as if she was going to cry violently in the next second.

"Ah" Li Xingchu softened upon seeing this scene, his straight waist also bent, he bowed his head and said honestly, "Actually, I originally planned to take her to the amusement park from the beginning."

"Then remember to fulfill your promise. Men who don't keep their promises are the worst, right, little moon." Li Muyue picked up the little cutie on the bed and let her sit in his right arm and tease her. He kept giggling and crawled into his mother's warm arms.

Li Xingchu scratched his hair and looked at his wife and children helplessly, "I will only listen to your mother's words. It seems that I beat you less."

"You dare to hit her!" Li Muyue smiled. With her mother as her backing, Xiao Yuexian lay on her shoulder and turned around to quietly make faces at her father. Then she immediately heard the second half of her mother's words. , "If I want to beat her, I have to do it myself. Don't worry."

The little cutie stopped laughing all of a sudden, and her grimace drooped - the reason she was not afraid of her father was that he always pretended to hit her but would not do it, but if her mother really beat her, her father dared to stop her. Beat together.

Although she is only three years old, by the time she is in kindergarten, she knows as much as those older children who have graduated from kindergarten. When the neighbors see her, they say she is a clever little girl, a little adult who can't even fool people. kind of.

The doorbell of the clinic rang, the glass door was pushed open, and cold wind blew in.

Li Muyue turned her back to the door slightly to block the cold wind, glanced at the person coming, smiled politely, and walked inside with Little Moon, "I'll go cook, you go ahead and do your work."

Li Xingchu, who was wearing a white coat, nodded, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the person who came in with a smile on his face. He accelerated in three steps and immediately supported the person who walked in before he bent down, "Oh, oh, oh, I can't help it, Aunt Zhang. What are you doing? It's going to shorten my life! You're old enough to be my mother."

"Here comes the banner for you, wonderful rejuvenation, the living Hua Tuo! Since my old man took the Chinese medicine you prescribed, his bones have become stronger day by day. He used to have to go to the hospital several times every spring and summer, but now I haven’t bothered with it again until the winter! You really have to accept this banner." Aunt Zhang, who was wearing a big red coat, spread the banner in her hand and turned around to hang it on the wall. Li Xingchu was so frightened that he quickly took over, "I'll do it." Just come and stop showing off your waist!"

On the wall, there is one more pennant hanging in the pile of countless pennants. Among the many pennants, there are many beautiful words such as "wonderful hands to rejuvenate", "living dead medicine and bones", "benevolent heart and benevolent skills", etc., although these are all written It’s a common phrase used when putting up banners, but at least the people who personally sent them hung them up with genuine gratitude.

"Let me tell you, having a living Hua Tuo like you on our Pingqiang Road is really a blessing to the neighbors! Who is sick who comes to you and is not cured by medicine? There is no need to go to the hospital! Now! The hospital is so expensive. Even if you have a minor illness, you have to go to some kind of TC. It costs hundreds of dollars at a time. What kind of family goes to the hospital every day? It must be passed down from our ancestors. Chinese medicine works well.”

"What's the matter? This is what I should do. If I get seriously ill, I still have to go to the hospital for a check-up! This can't be careless, and my Chinese medicine is not entirely Chinese medicine. Don't we all pay attention to a combination of Chinese and Western medicine now? Have you forgotten? The medicine I prescribed for your son last time was Western medicine."

"Can this be the same! Aren't all foreign things stolen from us? In the end, it's still Chinese medicine! So it has to be Dr. Xiao Chu, you have great medical skills! Come, auntie secretly gives you a red envelope, don't tell your wife Well, they say your wife is kind-hearted, but I know that she controls you like nothing, but how can a man not have any private money?"

"I'm going, I can't help my aunt, I really can't"

"What's the matter with saying you can't do it and pulling your pockets at the same time?"

"."

In the front hall, there was a tug and pull between Li Xingchu and the family members of the visiting patients. In the extra living kitchen behind the clinic, Li Muyue put on an apron, opened the refrigerator and took stock of the dishes at home.

There are fresh black fungus that have been soaked in water, and a strip of freshly cut meat, which is just right for making a stir-fried pork fungus.

Then he picked up two eggs from the box and weighed the quality. He touched a tomato with full color. Little Moon's favorite was the scrambled eggs with tomatoes. The tomatoes were forcibly stuffed by my aunt while buying groceries, and the eggs were brought from the hometown of the owner of a stationery store next to the kindergarten on the street next door. The last time Li Xingchu came to help his child with a fever reduce the fever, he never had any I've been short of eggs. Every time he delivers eggs, the boss has to give a thumbs up and repeat how nutritious these free-range eggs are.

As for soup, if there is a cake of seaweed hanging behind the door of your house, then use an extra egg to make seaweed and egg drop soup.

After thinking about what to make for dinner tonight, Li Muyue moved quickly. She turned on the range hood, heated up the oil in the pot, took out the spatula, dropped the eggs and knocked them. The yolks and whites rolled into the hot oil and became scalded.

Little Moon, who smelled the smell of tomatoes and scrambled eggs outside, cheered, stretched out her hands like an airplane and ran around the front hall of the clinic. Li Xingchu was so anxious that he yelled not to disturb the patients by running around, and to see the patients. Hehe laughed and said, "No noisy, no noisy, what a lovely child, Xiao Chu, you are so capable, and your wife is so beautiful and young, don't you consider having one more child?"

In the kitchen, Li Muyue hit the rim of the pot with a spatula without looking back and shouted, "Don't run around and disturb your father's medical treatment!"

It suddenly became quiet outside. Not only Little Moon, but also Li Xingchu shrank his head and shut up. The patient's suppressed laughter could still be vaguely heard.

Amidst the pleasant sizzling sounds and the constantly rising oil smoke, Li Muyue hummed a song that was popular in the streets and alleys recently, and skillfully prepared a dinner for this small family that was not a rich one, but definitely warm. .

The skylight outside the clinic gradually dimmed with time and the smell of rice in every household. The street outside was dark blue, and the winter wind blew through the fallen leaves. Inside the glass door, a small table was set up in the clinic. Li Xingchu and Xiao Kawaii sat on the small bench and circled the table, holding a chopstick in each hand and tapping the table neatly, "Here comes the food! Comes the food! Comes the food!"

"Don't follow your father's example. You are making noises and having no rules." In the room that was transformed into a home and a clinic, Li Muyue gently opened the door and walked over with a steaming plate in her hands and placed it on the table. .

"How good is the food tonight?" Li Xingchu looked at Li Muyue in surprise.

"How is this different from what you usually eat?" Li Muyue frowned and looked at the fried meat with fungus and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. They were home-cooked dishes no matter how you looked at them. Although their family of three was not rich, at least they were not poor either. , there are not many air conditioners in the entire county, but one is installed in their clinic, but this should be regarded as a gift to the patients during the holidays.

"Same! But..." Li Xingchu looked at Little Moon mid-sentence.

"But this is made by mom! Whatever mom makes is the most delicious in the world!" Little Moon shouted loudly as if she was reciting the lines according to the script.

"Did you teach me?" Li Muyue turned her head and looked at Li Xingchu and rolled her eyes, "Little Moon, don't imitate your father's trick of using sweet words. That's how he deceived me in the first place."

"Don't listen to your mother's nonsense. Your mother and I were in love with each other in a serious way. In fact, it was your mother who pursued me first! I agreed reluctantly." Li Xingchu Quickly show respect in front of your daughter.

"Just make it up. Let's see who our daughter believes." Li Muyue raised her eyebrows and put her hands on the edge of the greasy apron around her waist.

Li Xingchu held up his face and looked at this beautiful woman who looked like a good wife and mother, with a smile on his face, but the more he smiled like this, the more obvious the "murderous intent" in Li Muyue's eyes became.

"I believe in mom!" Little Moon noticed the crisis and quickly expressed her support. At the same time, she awkwardly picked up the food with chopsticks. She was learning how to use chopsticks recently.

"Why do you believe mom but not dad? Don't you love dad anymore?" Li Xingchu was disappointed and reached out to pinch his daughter's cute face.

"Dad can't beat mom. Whoever is stronger is right." Little Moon pinched her face and said seriously.

"Dad didn't want to bully mom, so he let her go on purpose!" Li Xingchu defended, and then saw Li Muyue staring at him with an interesting expression, and instantly fainted, "Okay, dad can't beat mom, it was dad who shamelessly pursued mom in the first place. of."

"It's good to know." Li Muyue rolled her eyes at him beautifully, then turned back to the kitchen to get the seaweed and egg drop soup. When she turned around, there was still a slight smile on her face, ignoring the old father behind her who was secretly whispering to her daughter. The hero is a stupid man who only belongs to himself.

The clinic is not big, and every square meter of the layout has been carefully planned, but every corner here is full of their memories of the past three years, including food, rice, oil, and salt, the length of their home, the cold wind blocked by the glass door, and the sound of chopsticks hitting porcelain bowls. Crisp and sweet, the warmth of the soup fills every part of the limbs and bones. This warmth seems to last forever.
