Chapter 33: Daowu's Family Banquet
There were two cars parked in front of the Qianteng Medical Center, one was from Daowu's eldest son, Dao Junyang, and the other was from Daowu's second son, Dao Zhengcheng.
The Qianteng Medical Hall was originally a martial arts hall, and the old buildings in the past were the main entrance, the martial arts arena, the main hall, the left and right wings and the backyard. Later, the martial arts hall was changed into a medical hall, and the gate of the martial arts hall was also rebuilt into a faΓ§ade facing the street to be used as a store for practicing medicine, and the martial arts training ground inside the gate of the martial arts hall was changed into a front yard. Although this house also has a back door, the back door old street is too narrow to park in front of the door, so whenever someone comes by car, they park their car in the parking space in front of the hospital.
Dao Junyang's car was not driven by him, but by his wife Liu Xin when she went to the station to pick up her son Dao Chongyu and nephew Dao Xiyuan. It's not that Dao Junyang doesn't want to drive to pick up these two children, it's just that the injury on his face is really hard to see at the moment, and half of his face is about to swell into a pig's head.
As soon as Li Xin arrived with his son and nephew, Dao Zhengcheng also arrived. Dao Zhengcheng took his daughter-in-law and youngest son, as well as Dao Junyang's daughter Dao Yuxu just got out of the car and saw his sister-in-law and two children, Dao Junyang and they hurriedly walked over.
Dao Zhengcheng's daughter-in-law Zheng Lingyun and his sister-in-law Liu Xin were very cordial, and without saying a word, they asked why the old man called them back so excitedly.
Although Liu Xin is Dao Junyang's wife, she doesn't know the truth, Liu Xin can only say that she doesn't know what the hell is going on. But she said it should be a good thing, because her husband was very excited when he called.
Everyone entered the house from the main entrance of the medical hall, and when they passed by the medical hall, several apprentices of Daowu and the employees of the medical hall felt very strange when they saw that the Taoist family had arrived. It's not a New Year's holiday, how can they all come together, and a few of Daowu's apprentices hurriedly greeted him.
Daowu's youngest disciple, Xiancheng, came to Dao Zhengcheng's front and shouted a word to his senior brother and sister-in-law, and then led them to the backyard, while the rest of the people dispersed to busy themselves with the work at hand.
When he came to the backyard, Dao Zhengcheng was just about to ask Xiancheng if the old man had any important arrangements this time, when he saw the eldest brother Dao Junyang standing in the corridor not far away with three smiles on his face, but at this time, the eldest brother's face seemed to be a little miserable.
As soon as everyone saw Dao Junyang, they immediately walked over, full of questions, and when they were about to ask the old man what he called them, they saw Dao Junyang's purple, red and swollen cheeks. Everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly asked Dao Junyang what was wrong. Among them, Liu Xin was the most concerned, and the little girl Dao Yuxu was about to cry when she looked at her father's red and swollen face.
Dao Junyang was also very helpless about this, so he could only smile and say that he had learned a trick with someone and accidentally let someone slap him on the face. Liu Xin's face was full of atmosphere, and he could only stare at Dao Junyang with anger in front of the children, and he had the momentum of going home to settle accounts. The little girl Dao Yuxu hurriedly told her father that it was wrong to fight, not to fight with others, and her brother-in-law Zheng Lingyun on the side could only comfort her, saying that there were still some good blood and stasis medicines at home to send them to the eldest brother. Dao Zhengcheng on the side looked at the eldest brother silently without saying a word.
Dao Junyang repeatedly said that he was fine, only a slight skin injury, and then let them go to the backyard. They went to the backyard and Xiancheng also returned to the front medical hall, and at this time there were only two brothers in the courtyard, Dao Junyang and Dao Zhengcheng.
Dao Zhengcheng looked at his eldest brother and said:
"Don't hide it from the eldest brother, let's talk about what the hell~!"
Dao Junyang looked at his younger brother, inexplicably a little funny. There was suddenly an illusion in his heart that the two of them were still teenagers, and he teased:
"What's going on, I'm beaten by someone~!I just sigh that my skills are not as good as others~!"
Dao Zhengcheng looked at his brother a little helpless, his mother died of illness when he was young, and the two brothers depended on each other. The father was too busy to take care of their brother in order to make a living, and he followed his brother's ass for many years. He knows the thoughts of his eldest brother best, if he is beaten, this big brother who likes martial arts and face will never be so relaxed now. Dao Zhengcheng sighed secretly and said to his eldest brother:
"Whatever you want, if you don't want to say it, forget it. β
Dao Junyang looked at his younger brother who was a little disappointed and was a little reluctant to hide it from him, so he said:
"Our dad missed!"
Dao Zhengcheng was a little stunned after hearing this, he never thought that it was the eldest brother beaten by his father. The father, who had always been kind, rarely beat and scolded their brothers, and Dao Zhengcheng said with some disbelief;
"How many slaps did our dad miss to slap your face like this~!"
When Dao Junyang heard his younger brother say this, he suddenly thought of Daowu's second slap that didn't hit his face, so he said helplessly:
"A few more slaps~!If the second slap was in my face, I would have called the old man to slap to death~!"
At this time, Dao Zhengcheng saw that the eldest brother said so, so he believed it, it seems that the old man really taught him a lesson. But he was very puzzled in his heart, his father was not the kind of person who would teach a lesson if he didn't agree with him. said that now the two brothers have been married for many years, and the eldest brother and he have not been scolded by their father for many years. Why did my father hit someone today, and Dao Zhengcheng, who had some doubts in his heart, asked:
"Dad, why did you hit you~!"
Dao Junyang felt a little depressed when he heard his younger brother ask, sighed and turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard. After taking two steps, he blurted out:
"Angry and indisputable~!"
Michigo sat in the main hall of the backyard, which was originally the old courtyard where the family lived. Originally, their family lived here, but after Zhang Zi got married, he bought a house outside and moved out, and the second son later worked in the hospital, so he bought a house near the hospital for his convenience. After both sons moved out, he lived alone in the courtyard, but the eldest son, Dao Junyang, often brought his granddaughter back, and sometimes the family could stay here for two days.
The courtyard has a somewhat old color, although it has been renovated several times over the years, and many modern furniture have been added. But looking at it still gives people an antique feeling, Daowu sat and drank tea after finishing his work on the Taishi chair in the main hall, and a table of good dishes had already been placed in the side hall, which Dao Junyang asked Xiancheng to order on the other side. The two families are close to the neighbors for many years, so the preferences and tastes are very good, and it is very convenient to send them over directly after they are done, and they don't have to go out to eat.
Daowu, who was slowly drinking tea, gently put down the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the door, only to see a small figure at the door immediately rushed in, and pounced directly towards him, shouting "Grandpa~!" while running.
Seeing this, Daowu hurriedly got up with a smile on his face, and the little girl pounced directly on Daowu and hugged Daowu's neck.
Liu Xin, who came quickly, was also full of smiles when she saw this scene, but when she saw that her woman was thirteen or fourteen years old, she was still so naughty, so she shouted softly:
"Why are you so skinny, don't let go quickly. Your grandfather, what if you accidentally let you fall when you're old?"
Dao Yuxu heard her mother's shout, knowing that she was about to be trained again, she quickly let go of the old man's neck and changed it to hugging his arm, and then grimaced at his mother.
Daowu laughed when he saw this, and even said that he didn't matter~ Don't worry.
Liu Xin hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Dad, this girl is about to let you be spoiled to the sky~!"
Then everyone was smiling at this scene, Zheng Lingyun stepped forward and shouted "Dad" Daowu nodded.
The rest of the grandchildren can only shout "grandpa" to Daowu~!
Michigo was overjoyed to look at these children, who had been miserable in his youth and toiling in his youth. It was barely settled in middle age, but after a few years of stability, his daughter-in-law left again. Since then, the martial arts hall has been transformed into a medical hall, the eldest son of the museum, the second son of the family, and the second son has become a talent, which can be regarded as living a leisurely life, looking at these children, Daowu feels that he is satisfied in this life at this moment. It's just a pity that his wife, who has suffered a lot with him, has not been able to enjoy this family happiness, which is also a big regret in his life.
Thinking of this, there were some tears in Daowu's eyes, and he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of the children, so he quickly changed the topic and asked:
"Jeongseong and Junyang~?"
Liu Xin hurriedly replied:
"They'll talk about something in the back and they'll come in a moment. β
Dao Wu knew what was going on, so he didn't care. Then said:
"Okay, let's sit at the table first. Today's dish is what you little ones love to eat. β
Everyone walked towards the dining table in the side hall, and Dao Yuxu put his arm around Daowu, and was just about to turn around when he saw his father and uncle walking towards this side in the courtyard. I was about to open my mouth to shout to my father to hurry up, but when I saw my father's red and swollen face, I opened my mouth and wanted to shout again.
The little girl's actions and lonely expression at this time Daowu saw all in his eyes, and Daowu, who was a little touched in his heart, also felt that he had done something at that time. At that time, it was a little too radical that he had just broken through the ups and downs of his mood, so he missed and let Dao Junyang be wronged.
After everyone sat down, Dao Junyang first got up and picked up a pair of clean dishes and chopsticks, and put a pair of chopsticks in the bowl on the top of three or two dishes, Dao Junyang turned around with the dishes and chopsticks and came to a black and white portrait in the main hall, put the dishes and chopsticks containing the food in front of the portrait and whispered, "Mom, today~family banquet~You taste the dishes you love to eat~!" and then turned back to his seat.
There are not many rules in Daowu's house, but some rules are known to Daojunyang since he was a child.
After Daojunyang sat down again, Daowu should have picked up the dishes and chopsticks for everyone to start eating. Only this time he didn't do it immediately, he slowly spoke:
"I slapped Junyang in the face~!"
As soon as these words came out of the house, there was a sudden silence, and Dao Yuxu's face was even more stunned. Several children and women didn't expect that this Junyang's face was swollen like that, and it was actually beaten by the old man, how much mistake it would take to be beaten like this. Dao Junyang and Dao Zhengcheng didn't expect their father to say this in public, or at this time.
Dao Wu saw that the expressions were stunned, and even the girl of the jade was full of astonishment, so he continued:
"This is my fault~! I am in an unstable mood after practicing today, and Junyang is also a little more timber for my heart. I slapped Junyang in the face when I was a little angry, but I didn't expect to beat him like this. It's all because he couldn't control his state of mind and the strength in his hands at that time, so that Junyang suffered so much in vain. β
It was incredible for everyone to see Daowu apologize in front of the whole family, and they hadn't seen it in this meeting and didn't know what to do. On the contrary, Dao Yuxu, who is innocent and clever, is very happy at the moment, she pulled her mother's sleeve with a happy face and said to her mother: "Mom, I know that Dad won't let others be beaten into pigs~!"
When everyone heard this child's words, they immediately burst into laughter, and the original embarrassing atmosphere suddenly disappeared. At this time, Dao Junyang was smiling and full of tears, he didn't expect his father to admit that it was his fault for his own face in front of the family. He has always thought that since ancient times, it is natural for Lao Tzu to beat his son, whether it is right or wrong. But today his father taught him another lesson.
At this moment, Dao Zhengcheng's feeling was even more profound, he felt that his father's state of mind seemed to have become more complete, giving people an indescribable feeling, could it be that his father had really made a breakthrough in his cultivation.
Dao Junyang tilted his head to control himself as much as possible not to shed tears, and said angrily to his daughter:
"What's the matter, your dad made people beat you happy, and your dad let your grandfather beat you but he was happy~!You are gloating~!"
Dao Yuxu was not afraid at all, but pushed back, tilted his head like his father and said:
"When I asked you to beat me, I always said that you were my dad and I should have beaten me, this time it's okay~ you let your dad beat it~ should~!"
Coaxed the whole family to make this girl's appearance amused again, Dao Junyang was so angry that he pointed at his daughter and said angrily: "It's lawless, I have to beat you up when I go home~!"
Dao Yuxu is not afraid at all, and the Taoist family banquet is a happy scene of children and grandchildren~!
