Chapter 9: At the Full Moon Banquet

Li Yu's grandfather's house is in the middle of the village, the seat is good, in the mountains, the seat in the middle of the village means safety, the house sits east and faces west, the sun rises from the Qingyun Mountain behind every day, the four blue brick houses are halls, the walls are brushed with lime powder, there is a row of lower houses behind the hall, one is the kitchen, the others are stacked with sundries, the north side of the yard, near the direction of the bamboo forest, there is a row of side rooms, the outermost one is the grandfather's clinic, it is also the medical cooperative in the village, and the back one is the machine room, One is a bathhouse with a solar water heater.

There is a bluestone piled up well next to the bathhouse - the dragon well, it is said that there is a dragon under this well, the well water is clear and sweet, the four seasons are not dry, Li Yu also has this well with the neighbors, there is an old laurel tree by the well, this laurel tree has been growing here for decades, thick and low, the roots are deep and leafy, covering the top of the well, the well mouth is separated by a stone several shallow pools, the well water is full and flows to the water nest, and flows out through the culvert.

The south side is a toilet and a pigsty, Xiaohe Village does not have the custom of building a courtyard wall, the front of the house is not a large yard, it is also a north-south road, the yard is planted with common flowers and plants, and the front is a vegetable garden, surrounded by a fence to prevent small animals from destroying.

"It feels so good to be home!" As soon as he entered the house, Li Yu laughed and threw away his luggage, carried the dog basket and ran into the hall.

An old man in the hall was lying on a chair taking a nap, when he heard the voice, he opened his eyes and saw Li Yu coming in, and immediately smiled and said, "Zhou Yuan is back?" Take a break, don't be busy drinking tea, is it too hot? I'll get you a fan. ”

Zhou Yuan is Li Yu's nickname, Li Yu was frail and sick when he was a child, his parents found him a godfather, (rural customs, it is said that finding a godfather can make the child not sick and disaster), the godfather's surname is Zhou, he likes Li Yu very much, and married Li Yu a name - Li Zhouyuan, fortunately, Li Yu ran to school to play when he was five years old, and the teacher saw the cute little Zhou Yuan very much, so he changed his name.

Li Yu's grandfather Li Dingkun, sixty-two years old this year, full of thick black hair, no wrinkles on his face, looks like a forty or fifty-year-old person, he is the only doctor in the village, he has been practicing medicine for decades, people believe in his medical skills, people in their sixties, their eyes are not dazzled, their hands are not shaking, they are famous for treating external injuries, and they are never a problem for minor illnesses and small pains.

"Grandpa, I'm not hot, I don't need to take a fan." Li Yu stopped his grandfather, since he drank the space spirit spring water, even if he stood under the sun, he felt cool.

"Where's Grandpa, Grandma?" Li Yu turned around, didn't see his grandmother, put down the bamboo basket, went out and moved his luggage into the house again, and put it aside.

"Your grandfather has a little grandson, and he is doing a full moon wine, so please ask her to help." Village customs, all weddings, funerals, red and white ceremonies, the village people will go to the main house to help, the main family will also come to invite, at this time can also see the popularity of the family, if the reputation is poor, the popularity of the family is not only no one to help, but also no one to see.

Grandpa seemed to know that Li Yu wanted to talk about dinner, and told him directly, "Your grandfather said, don't cook at night, go to his place to eat, they are about to have a banquet, let's go later, if you are hungry, there are still some snacks at home, fill in first." ”

Li Yu called the monkey and said that he was going to eat full moon wine in the evening and asked him to go there to play too.

"Where did you buy these wolf pups? I haven't opened my eyes yet! Grandpa looked at the whining puppy in the bamboo basket and asked him, the puppy cub stayed in the space for noon, nourished by the aura of the space, and now he is in good spirits, crawling restlessly around in the basket.

"Bought it in town, and the old hunter said he was an eagle's beak."

"Hawk's beak? It's the old stubbornness of the yellow bones! The eagle's beak has this kind of dog in his house, this dog is still too young, to be fed, there are several bags of milk powder sent by others at home, your grandmother and I don't like to eat that, so I used it to feed them, these puppies are not bad, try to feed them. ”

Grandpa also likes to feed small animals, but there is a clinic at home, and there is a big road in front of the house, and there are many people coming and going, if it bites, it is not good, Li Yu was very envious of those friends with dogs when he was a child, and he looked very majestic, but unfortunately the home environment really did not allow it.

How can milk powder be compared to space spiritual spring water, but it is not bad to feed some milk powder to the puppies, the puppies seem to be hungry, and they have been whining, Li Yu went to get the milk powder and washed it, and fed it to the puppies, those puppies smelled it, but they didn't eat it, they seemed to smell a familiar smell on Li Yu's body, and licked it on Li Yu's hand with his eyes closed, humming and chirping in his mouth, as if to say "We want to drink Lingquan water", Li Yu couldn't, so he had to pretend to go out to add water, and used Lingquan water to make a bowl of milk powder for the puppies, and the puppies were satisfied. Gulping down, Li Yu was speechless, this puppy is still so young, he knows that he has to drink spiritual spring water to drink milk, and he doesn't know what kind of smart he will be when he grows up in the future.

"Looks like most of these puppies can be fed!" Grandpa said as he looked at the puppies who were fighting for milk.

"Zhou Yuan, don't you come back this time!" Although grandpa already knew from his parents that Li Yu was coming back this time to develop at home, he still looked at Li Yu with an expectant face, the old man likes this little grandson the most, and when he is old, he hopes that his children and grandchildren will be with him, and it is better for the family to reunite than anything else.

"Well, I'm not leaving." Li Yu gave his grandfather a hopeful answer.

The old man touched the short beard on his chin and smiled, laughing happily.

"Is Dr. Lee at home?" Suddenly, someone outside shouted.

"Here, come in!" Li Yu responded.

A middle-aged man came in, wearing a straw hat and carrying a back basket, covered with leaves, the back basket seemed to be not light, this person was sweating profusely, Li Yu hurriedly went up and took it.

This person Li Yu didn't have any impression at all, he shouldn't be from the village, he smiled kindly at Li Yu, and then said to his grandfather, "This is a little Lingqing grown by home, it tastes good, bring it to you to taste it for the old time." ”

Ling Qing is a name for green apples in his hometown, Ling Qing is a big and delicious taste, it tastes crisp and raw, Ling Qing leaves can be made into tea to drink, clear heat and relieve heat, there are also people in the village, but this season Ling Qing is almost out of season, and only the mountains are still bearing fruit because the temperature is lower, all the crops in the depths of Qingyun Mountain are ripening almost a month later than those in the back village, I didn't expect this person to come from Qingyun Mountain, so far away.

Li Yu brought a fan to blow it on him, poured him another cup of tea, the middle-aged man took it with a smile, looked Li Yu up and down, and said to his grandfather, "Doctor Li, this young man is your grandson, right?" ”

"This is my youngest grandson, the eldest grandson and the eldest granddaughter worked outside after graduating from college and didn't come back, so this time he came back to play." Grandpa's tone was a little conspicuous, his grandchildren were the first college students to go out in Xiaohe Village.

"You're so blessed! Your grandsons are promising, they are all college students, and you will enjoy endless blessings when you are old! The little grandchildren are so old, or the great-grandchildren will be hugged in a few years! The person who came said half-flattering, half-sincerely.

Li Yu blushed slightly, turned around and teased the puppy, the puppy just finished drinking milk and just wanted to sleep, ignoring Li Yu's teasing, humming a few times to change to a comfortable position and then sleep.

Later, from the chat between his grandfather and the visitor, Li Yu knew the reason for the matter, this person was too sick last time, (in order to save money, people in the countryside don't take medicine for minor illnesses, and they only come to the doctor when they get seriously ill.) Forced to walk down from the mountain, to the door of the grandfather's house fell down, seeing that it was not good, grandpa was rescued back, half sold and half sent him a lot of medicine, complained to him, said that now there is medical insurance and so saving money, and then every time this person comes to get medicine, he will bring some mountain specialties, thank grandpa for saving his life.

This kind of thing is not once or twice, Li Yu originally knew that an old man in the neighboring village was sentenced to death by the doctor in the big hospital in the provincial capital, and after he came back, he said to his children that he would ask Dr. Li to show him, and the descendants carried him over with the idea of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the grandfather didn't want to take over at first, the old man took his grandfather's hand and said childishly, "I want you to treat it!" Grandpa was made to cry and laugh, and then I don't know whether this old man should not die or grandpa's wonderful hand rejuvenation, the old man who was sentenced to death by the hospital was miraculously cured by grandpa, since then the name of Dr. Li has been called louder, this old man will buy big firecrackers to grandpa's house every Spring Festival to put them, increase joy, thank grandpa for the kindness of life.

Every year, someone at home will send a large number of milk, sugar, biscuits, fruits, mountain goods, even the whetstone has someone to carry down from the mountain, the two old people at home can not finish eating, so they have to take it to send the left and right, Li Yu has not eaten moon cakes so far is when he was a child on August 15, the house was full of moon cakes sent by others, it is a pity to throw it, the child is hungry, I don't know how to stop eating, after eating a few days after Li Yu still feels that his burps are moon cake flavor, and never mention the word moon cake again.

Grandpa gave the person who came a pulse, "Said it's okay, you don't need to take medicine in the future," and didn't give him medicine.

This man was very grateful, and left happily, and when he left, he said that the mushrooms on the mountain were going to come out, and he would send some down for Li Yu to taste in a few days.

Look at the time, five o'clock is still a few minutes, the banquet is about to start, now is the right time to go, you can also sit on the first round of seats, the grandparents and grandchildren closed the door, and went to eat the full moon banquet.
