Chapter 12 Niang 39 Son's Birthday, Mother's Bitter Day
. 5.
"Okay, go get busy." Lin Fei closed his eyes and began to mobilize the breath of the dantian.
Ding Chongru was worried that Lin Fei would feel that time was shortened, so he secretly consumed too much of his true qi in order to achieve the purpose of doubling his true qi in exchange for time. So when he was about to walk out of the door, he stopped again, turned to Lin Fei and said, "In my heart, each of you is like Lulu, all of you are my children......"
"Father-in-law, I understand." Lin Fei opened his eyes, and said with a smile on his face, "Excessive consumption of true qi can only be detrimental to my body, and the effect may not be better." I will definitely do what you tell me and not be good at making claims, so don't worry. β
Ding Chongru nodded, walked out of the door, and came to the back of the study. This room, which is about 20 square meters, is a small pharmacy in his home.
The old man's blurred teary eyes looked around the room, his gaze removed from the two sets of quaint and delicate Chinese medicine cabinets placed next to one wall, and then landed on a yellow pear table placed against the wall on one side.
At this time, looking at the utensils that Lin Fei had prepared for him, Ding Chongru felt a lot of emotion, and his thoughts returned to the day five years ago.
On that day, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and Ding Chongru dragged his tired body home from the Hanging Hutang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hall. My wife prepared a few snacks in the kitchen, and when she saw him come back, she greeted him at the door, and while helping him take his slippers, she complained in a low voice, "You old man, today is our Lulu's birthday, and I called you again in the afternoon to remind you, why did you come back so late?" Really. β
"In the evening, several patients came one after another, and the child's birthday is indeed very important, but it is much lighter than treating the disease and saving people." Ding Chongru changed into slippers and said unhurriedly, "Besides, it's just the two of us, it doesn't matter if it's early or late." β
Mother Ding smiled and patted Ding Chongru's shoulder, "Who said that it's just the two of us, your baby son-in-law is also coming." β
"Really?" Ding Chongru was also very surprised, "When did he return to China?" This kid too, why didn't he call me when he came to the house? β
Ding's mother hung Ding Chongru's coat on the coat rack, pursed her lips and smiled, "Anyway, you called me." β
"Look at your beauty!" Ding Chongru said with a smile.
"My son-in-law is closer to my mother-in-law than to you, of course I am beautiful." Ding's mother turned around and glanced at the clock hanging on the wall, frowned and trotted towards the kitchen, "I'll be here in a few minutes, I have to go and boil water to prepare longevity noodles." You go wash your hands, and then come over and help bring the food and make tea......"
"Huh." Ding Chongru also walked into the bathroom quickly, and then hurried to make a pot of cloud tea, and just put a few dishes on the table, the doorbell rang, and at the same time, Lin Fei's voice rang, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm here." β
When Ding's mother heard the voice, she quickly turned down the fire a little bit, and opened the door with Ding Chongru. I saw two foreigners standing behind Lin Fei, one of them was Figuerola, and the other was an unfamiliar face.
The two old men warmly beckoned Lin Fei and them into the room, and after a few people sat down, Ding's mother said to Lin Fei, "You drink tea first, I'll go see if the water below is boiled." β
"Mother-in-law, wait a minute." Lin Fei stood up and put his arm around Ding's mother, let her sit next to Ding Chongru, and then stood in front of the two old men, "Today is Lulu's birthday, as the saying goes, son's birthday, mother's hard day." She couldn't come back, so I asked me to thank the second elder for so many years of nurturing grace instead of her. β
As he spoke, Lin Fei bowed deeply respectfully, "While blessing Lulu, I also wish the second elder good health." β
"Good boy, we thank you." Ding Chongru and his wife nodded movingly.
"I've got some important business to do tonight." Lin Fei straightened up, "I won't finish eating here anymore, I hope the second elder will forgive me." β
"It's okay, it's okay." Ding Chongru waved his hand again and again, "Official business is important, we are already very happy to see you." β
"When I came back this time, Lulu and I prepared a few gifts for the second elder, and now we should be moving them up soon." Lin Fei gave Figuerola a look, and Figuerola stood up and walked to the door.
"You kid is all your own family, and you won't be allowed to do this in the future." Ding's mother was happy in her heart, but she deliberately lowered her face.
"Not anymore." Lin Fei smiled and nodded.
"Since you are not eating at home, I will go and turn off the fire first, and stay with you a little longer." With that, Ding's mother got up and planned to go to the kitchen.
"Sit down, I'll go." Lin Fei rushed into the kitchen, and quickly walked out of it and came to the foreigner's side, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, let me introduce you to you." My friend, Bastian from Germany. Hoffman. β
Ding Chongru and his wife greeted each other, and at this time, Figuerola also beckoned a few foreigners to bring in some very carefully packaged items.
"What is this?" Ding Mu looked at these things that looked like furniture and asked.
"Figuerola." Lin Fei said to Figuerola, "You open that one first." β
"Yes!" Figuerola and another person unpacked the package, revealing a guqin with a quaint charm.
Seeing this guqin, Ding's mother opened her mouth, raised a hand to cover her mouth, and tears of happiness and emotion swirled around her eyes.
Ding's mother recalled that after attending a wedding in Iceland, she went to a traditional oriental musical instrument shop in ReykjavΓk accompanied by Ding Lu. Ding's mother saw this guqin at a glance, she knew that this guqin had a history of hundreds of years, so she decided to buy it back no matter how much it cost, and not let it stay in a foreign country. It's a pity that the shopkeeper just regards it as the treasure of the town, no matter what Ding Lu's mother and daughter say, they just don't sell it......
"Lulu said, your guqin should have been replaced a long time ago. She told me about Iceland, and it just so happened that this friend of mine and the owner of the shop were also friends, so she brought it to you. Lin Fei smiled, "This piano will be kept at home for use first, and you will decide when to donate it in the future." β
"Thank you so much, Mr. Hoffman." Ding Mu vs Bastian. Hoffman said gratefully, "You have not only fulfilled my wishes, but also helped us in the East. β
"You're welcome, old lady." Bastian. Hoffman shook his head and smiled politely, "This thing originally belonged to the East, so it should come back here." β
"Mother-in-law, after you've set it up in a while, go try it." Lin Fei said to Ding Chongru again, "Father-in-law, let's go to your study." β
