After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor

Chapter 159 Self-criticism and mutual apology, encouraging Banxia to think about the future

In Jimin Hall, Lin Mingxuan was looking through medical records, but his mind had already wandered to other places.

"You men have already designated a path for her," Ding Xirui's words appeared in his mind again.

"Doctor Lin, why didn't your wife come today?" Xiao Qiang asked.

"Madam...is resting at home." Lin Mingxuan replied.

"Madam, you are a woman. It is indeed easy for you to get tired running back and forth like this." Xiao Qiang said as he walked behind the counter.

Lin Mingxuan was stunned.

No, his wife is not someone who would easily complain of being tired. She gets up early every day and practices kung fu in the yard. She is not a weak woman.

"Doctor Lin, what would you like to eat for lunch?" The cook from Jimin Hall came over and asked.

"You can do whatever you want."

"Okay. Didn't the lady come today?" the cook asked.

"Yes, she is at home today." Lin Mingxuan smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm not used to not seeing you for one day." The cook picked up the basket and walked out the door.

"Xiaobao, stop playing. It's time for your mother to go home and cook. If you go home late, your father will starve." A woman's voice came from the street.

Lin Mingxuan looked up and saw a child running in front and a woman following behind.

In the family, women always cook...

In the morning at the Yamen, Li Xingjian asked about the difference between raw and cooked dipping sauces, but he himself, who had lived for more than 20 years, couldn't even start a fire. When I was making dumplings last night, it took me a long time to learn how to pinch the folds.

Lin Mingxuan turned his head and looked at everything in the clinic. Except for the cook, all the people in the clinic were men. Men studied, learned skills, and went out to work; women washed clothes, cooked, and stayed at home. Who stipulated all this?

Lin Mingxuan suddenly stood up.

What Ding Xirui said is absolutely correct.

"You men have already designated a path for her."

Isn't that right? Men who can read and write wrote the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. The law is all biased towards men. Before he met Ding Xirui, and even now, he had always believed that "men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world". He even said to Ding Xirui, "If something happens, I will lock you up at home." Even though he thought of his mother, he never seriously thought about why his mother left the Ye family.

Even if Ding Xirui was not talking about him, he was one of the many men and he could not escape.

He always thought he understood and respected women, but there was still something deep-rooted in his heart.

"Am I so narrow-minded?"

A feeling of guilt quietly arose.

"Xiao Qiang, I have to go home urgently. I will be back soon."

He hurried out the door.

"Banxia, ​​where is the young lady?" He pushed open the gate, gasping for breath.

"The young lady is in the room." Banxia was hanging clothes and was startled by him, and the clothes fell from her hands.

"Okay." He paused, took a few deep breaths, and walked towards the house.

Ding Xirui heard the noise, wiped his tears and stood up.

"It's me, I'm coming in." Lin Mingxuan pushed open the door.

"Sorry!" They both said at the same time.

He walked over and hugged her.

"I was wrong. I was narrow-minded. I am just one of the thousands of stinky men. You are right."

The person in his arms began to sob.

"I'm sorry, I was too arrogant. I shouldn't be so self-righteous, I shouldn't think of myself as a savior, and I shouldn't take my anger out on you."

He let her go, leaned over and wiped away her tears.

"Why, the chivalrous lady Ding Xirui is still crying."

"The heroine also has tears. I feel sad and I just want to cry." She cried even harder. Helplessness, understanding, touching, grievance, unwillingness, the tension and fatigue of the past two days...all came at once.

His heart warmed and he held her in his arms again.

The sobbing gradually stopped.

"I still have to go to the clinic. Auntie cooked a meal and it can't be wasted." He smiled.

"Then go ahead." She let go of him.

"My clothes?"

"I got it dirty, I'll wash it for you." She pouted.

"Just kidding, I'll wash it myself. You rest at home and wait for me to come back in the evening." He tapped her forehead.

"Yeah. And we haven't finished discussing this morning..."

"I know, wait for me to come back." He reached out, combed her hair, changed his clothes and went out.

Ding Xirui's eyes were swollen like walnuts throughout the afternoon, and even her voice changed. The open space in the yard had not been renovated yet, so she and Banxia found tools from the utility room and started to turn the soil.

"Young Madam, you and the Young Master have reconciled." Banxia smiled and began to ask questions.

"We didn't quarrel..." Ding Xirui turned his head to the side.

"Then why do your eyes look like this?"

"I'm here for something else."

"Miss, all you have in your eyes and heart now is the young master, and you are not close to me anymore." Banxia sighed.

"No--" Ding Xirui quickly put down the hoe.

"Banxia, ​​this is not quite the same. I...anyway, you are all my relatives, and you are all very important." Ding Xirui was at a loss.

"Miss, I was just kidding." Banxia picked up the hoe and handed it to her.

"I am naturally happy to see you and the young master getting along. But now I feel so useless. Nanxing can help run between Luocheng County and Lan County, and I follow you every day, but it seems that I can't do anything. Even when you are unhappy, I can't solve it. I am so useless."

"No, Banxia, ​​I feel at ease when you are by my side." She took Banxia's hand.

She was used to having Banxia around, but she had indeed ignored her for so long. She gave advice to An Yumo, encouraged Zheng Shihui to do what she liked, let Ren Simiao go out, and helped the Song sisters open a school... However, she never thought about Banxia around her. She took it for granted that she was just her assistant and her maid.

What did Banxia want? She couldn't be a maid and serve others all her life.

"Banxia, ​​have you ever thought about your future?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Miss, I will be right beside you. Wherever you go, I will go."

"No, Banxia, ​​life is long. You can't always think of yourself as my maid. You have to think of yourself as the master. Think carefully about what you expect in your heart."

"I just want to stay with you forever." Banxia was stunned.

"Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly. You and Nanxing are the same, you can't always do things according to other people's orders."

"Isn't it... supposed to be like this?" Banxia stared at the soil at her feet, lost in thought.

"Take your time." Ding Xirui patted her and continued digging.

The soil was loosened, and green vegetable seeds were sown on the left, pumpkins were planted on the right, and a row of corns were planted along the wall. Considering that pumpkins would grow very long vines, the two of them built a frame and stuck it into the soil. After working for an afternoon, everything was finally done.

"Knock, knock, knock..." Someone is knocking on the door.

"Madam, Doctor Lin wants you to go to the clinic."

It’s Xiaoqiang’s voice.
