3. Be a family
When pushing the door into the living room, Xu Mingtang and his wife were moving the plates on the table, and when they saw Tang Yiyi coming, they hurriedly beckoned her to come and sit, Xu Mingjie came out of the kitchen with a pot of soup, and saw Tang Yiyi and said with a smile: "It's just right, come, sit down." ”
Tang Yiyi walked to the position with his back to the stairs and sat down, according to custom, this is the position of the head. A few people sat down, and Xu Mingjie said with a smile: "The habit of eating or not eating is home-cooked and your own craftsmanship." ”
Tang Yiyi saw a few dishes on the table and knew that the master and the lady were treating her as an important close family member, bitter bamboo shoots roasted eel, ginger duck, white cut meat, cold salad folded ear root, fried pumpkin leaves plus sauerkraut vermicelli soup, bitter bamboo shoots roasted eel is the seasonal dish, after this season will have to wait for next year, ginger and white meat are also the most well-known dishes in Yicheng, especially white meat, famous for the thinness of the meat quilt like cicada wings, the dipping sauce is unique, it is difficult to imitate, but the meat cut out at home does not care so much about the knife work.
She smacked her lips, "Is it OK to eat?" The saliva is about to come out. The three couldn't help laughing, and Xu Mingjie said, "This kid is not outside." ”
Xu Mingtang said with a smile: "It's good not to see the outside, from today onwards, it's our family, let's eat." ”
Xu's wife didn't say anything on the side, but her smile was a little reluctant.
Tang Yiyi was full of praise while eating, Xu Mingtang poured drinks for everyone, raised his glass, and welcomed Tang Yiyi's arrival.
After three rounds of drinking, Xu Mingjie asked, "Yiyi's family is from Wenxian County, right?" ”
"Hmm."
"As soon as I hear it, I can tell that your accent is Wenxian dialect. Is your home in Wenxian County? ”
"On the streets of the county seat."
"What do you do at home?"
"My dad is a middle school teacher, and my mom is a kindergarten teacher."
"Oh, the teacher's family is good, who else is in the family?"
"I also have a younger brother, who is 13 years old."
"There aren't many people at your age who have two babies at home."
"There are a lot of people in the countryside, my uncle and aunt's family are all two, and my mother is an only daughter, so she applied to give birth to a younger brother, otherwise my parents are both public officials and can't have two."
"Two babies are good, now that the policy has been relaxed, you will have two in the future."
“……”
Xu Mingtang's chopsticks "clicked" on the bowl, and he blamed his sister and said, "You are ...... person."
Xu Mingjie hurriedly smiled and said: "I said something wrong, I said something wrong, Yiyi is still young, let's find a boyfriend first." ”
Tang Yiyi smiled shyly, "It's okay, my aunt and my mother must get along." ”
Xu Mingjie said happily: "They are all people who like gossip, right?" ”
Xu's wife interjected: "Eat, don't put chopsticks." Yiyi, do you have a boyfriend? There are a lot of people who fall in love in college. ”
"I have a boyfriend, but he stays in the provincial capital." Tang Yiyi said that a trace of bitterness flashed on her boyfriend's face.
Xu Mingtang's hand holding the vegetables paused without a trace.
"Oh, the provincial city is good, there are many development opportunities." Xu's wife smiled, "Come on, eat eel, I specially selected, it's not big or small, it's very flavorful." ”
"Is my boyfriend also studying Chinese medicine?" Xu Mingtang asked.
"He studied finance, but now he works in sales for a real estate company."
"Take your time, people are young, anything is possible."
Mrs. Xu glanced at her husband and said meaningfully: "Yes, isn't it possible for people to be young?" ”
Xu Mingtang shook his head annoyedly: "Let's eat." ”
After that, most of it was Xu Mingjie who was talking, her words were many and carefully, and Tang Yiyi talked about the location of Huang Julan Lane in Yicheng and the surrounding shops, and she herself opened a small supermarket at the entrance of the alley.
After eating, Tang Yiyi rushed to wash the dishes, cleaned up the kitchen, came out to sit and talked to the three of them, Xu Mingtang asked her to go back to the room to rest, and especially explained that she didn't have to get up early tomorrow, and she would get up again when she had slept enough.
When she pushed the door to leave, Xu Mingjie stopped her: "If you can't sleep at night and are hungry, go downstairs, the hoof noodles next to our Shengshitang are very delicious." Tang Yiyi agreed and went back to the room.
After washing up and lying on the bed, Tang Yiyi took out her mobile phone to call her mother to report her safety, and sent a message to Wang Yufeng on WeChat, and sent an emoji to the past but there was no response.
When Professor Huang told her to come to Shengshitang for an internship with her teacher, he said that this place was close to her home; The second is that Xu Mingtang has excellent medical skills, and following Xu Mingtang for two years is better than pondering for ten or eight years; The third is that Xu Mingtang happened to tell him that he wanted to accept an undergraduate student with high understanding and willingness to endure hardships as a disciple. It's a rare opportunity, and she doesn't want to miss it.
But Wang Yufeng was obviously unhappy when he found out, although he was not from the provincial capital, he had made up his mind to stay from the first day he entered the provincial capital to study.
In the month of preparing to leave, the two have been awkward, Tang Yiyi has found more than a dozen traditional Chinese medicine halls in the provincial capital to no avail, and she has never thought that staying in the provincial capital to change careers to do secretarial or sales, being a Chinese medicine is her ideal since childhood, and she will never give up.
Wang Yufeng became more and more impatient day by day, and when he left the provincial capital, he didn't come to see her off, but only sent a WeChat message: Be careful on the road, pay attention to safety.
Tang Yiyi picked up her mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Wang Yufeng: Dr. Xu's family in Shengshitang welcomed my arrival, and I am also very happy to return to my hometown, I like it here, especially the yellow cypress orchid tree in front of the medical hall.
When the message was sent, Tang Yiyi waited for a while, knowing in his heart that he would not reply, but he couldn't help but be lucky, so repeatedly entangled, tossing and turning.
In the end, she sighed deeply, simply turned off her mobile phone, and finally fell asleep in the faint sweet fragrance of Huang Juelan.
