In the evening, Li Dong drove home, because his parents suddenly returned, and the third village he had planned to go to in the evening was changed to tomorrow.

Since the car and license plate have been exposed, Li Dong did not park his car in the old street, but parked directly in the backyard of his home, and he is also considering changing to a car recently.

As soon as Li Dong got out of the car, he smelled a fragrant smell, this smell is very familiar to him, although he has eaten it for more than 20 years, he still thinks it is delicious, perhaps, this is the taste of his mother.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Li Dong's words after a long time reminded Li Dong of when he was a child, and the first thing he remembered when he went home was it.

On the dining table, there were already a table of dishes, Li Dong counted them, and there were as many as nine, including fried fish, tomato beef soup, steamed lion's head, etc., all of which Li Dong likes to eat, and there are also things that he has never seen before, and his mother is still busy in the kitchen.

"Mom, okay, don't be busy, these dishes are enough. Li Dong said.

"This is the last one, ten in all, perfect. ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Dong saw his father coming downstairs, holding a transparent glass bottle in his hand, which contained an orange-yellow liquid, and a ginseng tree more than half a foot long was particularly eye-catching.

It was a medicinal wine that my father had brewed for more than ten years, and the ginseng in it was found when he was picking medicine in Qingyun Mountain, not only wild ginseng, but also more than 30 years old, plus the beard was more than a foot long, even in Qingyun Mountain, it was also a very rare treasure.

If Li Dong is not mistaken, this is the first time that his father has taken it out since he sealed himself.

The wine bottle was placed on the table, and the sealed and wrapped things were unwrapped layer by layer, and when the sealed stopper was removed, a fragrant smell suddenly spread throughout the room, even overpowering the taste of stir-frying.

The wine is home-brewed wine, and the ginseng is a wild ginseng on Qingyun Mountain, which has been specially sealed and preserved for more than ten years, and the taste can be imagined how mellow it is.

The last dish was served, and Dad carefully poured the wine into three glasses, for fear that the wine would drip outside.

"Alright, sit down. Li Zhongzhi said with a smile, "It's been a long time since our family has sat down to eat together like this." ”

Li Dong and his mother also sat down, the light bulb on the roof was a little dim, but it was very warm, on the night of the new year, three people a year can sit together to eat, this situation Li Dong has been thinking about for several years.

"You're all hungry, eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables. Wang Hongyan took the chopsticks and put a few dishes in the bowl in front of Li Dong, "This is your mother and I newly learned, how about you taste it?"

Li Dong didn't move his chopsticks, but looked at his father and asked, "Dad, should you say something?"

Li Zhongzhi thought for a while, and then said, "Actually, there is nothing to say, your mother and I have the greatest wish that you can have a good future, now looking at your appearance, it is much better than we expected, it is simply the green smoke from the ancestral tomb, I am already very content, come, take a sip." He raised his glass.

Li Dong knew that his father usually liked to take a sip, and he had treasured the ginseng wine for more than ten years, and it was estimated that he had already been hungry.

"It would be even better if we could bring back a daughter-in-law and let us carry the next generation. Wang Hongyan followed.

"Dad, do it!" Li Dong picked up the wine glass, and his mother was inseparable from her daughter-in-law.

A family of three raised their glasses and touched them heavily.

Li Dong took a sip, in addition to the smell of grain, there was also a smell of ginseng, of course, he didn't have much research on wine, and no matter how good the wine was, it would be a waste to drink it into his stomach.

But Dad, after taking a small sip, pursed his lips, showing a look of enjoyment, as if the whole person was intoxicated with the wine.

At the urging of his mother, Li Dong hurriedly ate a few bites of food, and then immediately stretched out his thumb, "Mom, I haven't seen you for so long, your cooking skills are good." ”

Wang Hongyan was very proud when he heard it, "Of course, your mother and I are also a person who has traveled through the south and the north, all kinds of dishes from the south and the north of the world, your mother and I dare not say that it will be a plenary meeting, but I will also make six or seven dishes, ten dishes a day, and I won't bring you the same one for a month, don't you believe it?"

"Awesome!" Li Dong praised.

Dad seemed to be still intoxicated with the wine, and after taking a sip of it, he said slowly, "In the past few years, whenever your mother and I go to a place, the first thing I do is to treat people and earn food and lodging, and she learns to cook from the locals." ”

Li Dong nodded while listening, in the days when his parents went out, although he often used WeChat to transfer money to his parents, his parents never confiscated it, and all the accommodation and travel expenses were exchanged for his father's treatment.

This is the former Jianghu Langzhong, you can go out by handicraft, isn't there still such a saying?

"But it's because of this time that I saw a lot of things and felt a lot of emotion. Dad stretched out his hand and patted Li Dong's shoulder and said, "I originally thought that the medical conditions in those ravines in Dongshan were poor enough, but I didn't expect that there were more places with poor conditions, some places were surrounded by mountains, and there were only a dozen families in the village, and there was not even a person who knew how to treat. At this, Dad sighed deeply and picked up the wine glass again.

Li Dong quickly picked it up, touched it with his father, and took a sip together.

"That's when I thought, if only someone could help them. Dad said after drinking.

"Dongzi, do you know why your father and I have been gone for so long? It's because these people are so pitiful, and your father wants to help these people as much as possible. "So when we saw on the news that you treated people for free, we were very pleased." ”

"It would be nice if you could treat the people I talked about, after all, your dad and I have limited medical skills. ”

Hearing his parents' words, Li Dong was very ashamed, his father was really doing good deeds, and he just wanted to complete the task, and he couldn't compare with his father at all.

However, his father's words also gave Li Dong some inspiration.

If the task has not been completed, then he can use the remaining months to go to remote places to treat people, especially those with poor medical conditions.

"Dad, when I'm busy with this time, I'll also go out for a walk, just like you, and go to those places with poor conditions to treat people. Li Dong said seriously.

"Hmm. Li Zhongzhi nodded, "I'm very relieved to have your words." ”
