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

In the evening, I went back to Niu's house for a "follow-up consultation". Niu Xiaoben still maintained his awe of Ding Xirui and did not dare to eat more. With the arrival of summer, this young man suffered a lot. Even with an ice bucket, he still sweated profusely.

However, since he had done what was required, he would naturally receive a reward. In the past month, he had lost another ten pounds. Ding Xirui brought him a bowl of bayberry ice water as a reward.

When he returned home in the evening, the yard was empty. Ding Xirui did not go into the house, and he thought of what Song Ruohuan said.

Whether she wants to face it or not, whether she is willing to admit it or not, there is an exchange of interests in marriage. And talking about interests always makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Miss, do you think marrying the young master is a deal between the Ding family and the Lin family?" Banxia asked.

This girl really understands her thoughts.

"Well...what do you think?" Ding Xirui asked.

"I think people shouldn't think too much, otherwise they will be unhappy." Banxia pursed her lips and smiled.

"Hahahaha, don't change the subject. Answer properly." The two of them sat down in the corridor.

"If we really want to talk about 'benefits', there are indeed some. The Ding and Lin families now have more frequent business dealings, and both sides have introduced other businessmen to each other." Banxia said as she recalled.

"anything else?"

"However, I think the first thing that the two families think of is not 'benefits'. They think that you and the young master are a good match and can live a good life together."

"Tsk..." Ding Xirui smiled and shook his head gently.

"Miss, this is true. Even if they don't get married, the business between the two families will still go on as usual. When you were in the Ding family, the master said that he wanted you to live a good life, and he never mentioned any "benefits". Isn't the master of the Lin family the same to you?"

"Hmm..." Ding Xirui fell into deep thought.

Perhaps, the essential difference between people and interests is which one comes first and which one comes second, which one is the purpose and which one is the means.

Life needs a material foundation, there is no doubt about that. If you consider certain material conditions for the sake of future life, it is reasonable, at this time, it is for the sake of people; but if you ignore personal thoughts and feelings in order to accumulate more wealth, or have more power and fame, then marriage has completely become a means.

There are exchanges of interests during this period, but the attitude towards people is the key. Moreover, the process is full of various trade-offs and compromises. It is not either this or that. The relationship is fluid and mixed. There may be many people like Song Ruohuan and Zhang Qi'an. Fortunately, Song Ruohuan knows what she is pursuing.

Oh, that’s all I can think about for now. Ding Xirui felt his head hurt even more.

After staying in Luocheng County for another day, they packed their bags and headed back to Lan County. Behind them, the carriages of Wuming Martial Arts School and Zixia Hall followed. Doctor Sun of Zixia Hall sent an apprentice to Lan County for training. After entering the city, Lin Mingxuan took the two carriages directly to the Shen Family Inn. There was no other way. The family in Lan County was too small to be polite. Yang Yuting and others were unwilling to go there, so they simply increased the source of customers for the Shen Family.

Later, they returned home and stood at the gate. Ding Xirui took a few deep breaths. The last time he came back, he was robbed, which left a shadow on him. But when he looked carefully, the door was unlocked.

"Young Madam, could it be Miss Tong?" Nan Xing asked.

"It's not even evening yet."

Ding Xirui said this and pushed open the door.

The people inside were shocked.

Zhou Meixiang was weeding, Tong Ruoxuan was helping her pile the weeds together, and the two children were smelling jasmine flowers in the corridor.

"Doctor Ding and Doctor Lin are back." Zhou Meixiang stood up, Tong Ruoxuan smiled slightly and nodded to them.

"Sister-in-law, you don't have to work so hard, just water the plants." Ding Xirui walked forward.

"It's okay. There's still some sunshine. It can kill all the grass."

"Come in and have some rest." Banxia opened the door to the main house.

"There are only a few trees left, wait a moment." Zhou Meixiang continued to work.

"Sister-in-law, that's not necessary." Ding Xirui took the shovel from her hand, put his arm around her with one hand, held Tong Ruoxuan's arm with the other, and led them both into the house.

The weather was very hot and there was not a drop of water at home. Fortunately, I had just bought a bucket of herbal tea on the road.

"Sit down and take a rest first." Ding Xirui said.

"Have some herbal tea." Banxia put a pile of washed bowls on the table, then picked up a small bucket and poured a few bowls.

However, Tong Ruoxuan's body has not yet fully recovered, so she should avoid cold things. Ding Xirui was about to tell Nanxing something, but when he turned around, he saw smoke coming out of the kitchen.

"Doctor Ding, your yard is so well tidied. Ruoxuan also said that she would plant something in our yard next spring." Zhou Meixiang said.

"Of course. When the fruits and vegetables in our yard are ripe, I will give you some seeds." Ding Xirui glanced at Tong Ruoxuan, and his tense nerves relaxed a little.

After drinking the herbal tea, Ding Xirui brought a few people to the yard again.

"Sister-in-law, that's pumpkin, and that's corn. They're both edible."

She broke the husk of the corn and pinched a seed with her fingernails. Fresh juice flowed out and a sweet scent rushed into her nose.

Her face lit up with joy, and with a little effort, she broke the corn off.

"Sister-in-law, don't go back to cook in the evening. Call Brother Tong and let's eat corn." Ding Xirui said.

"So this is corn? I heard someone talking about it at the entrance of the alley, and it turns out to be like this."

"Yes. You guys try it too and try it tonight." Ding Xirui took a step back and motioned for others to come forward.

"Okay, thank you then." Zhou Meixiang nodded.

Banxia placed her hand on the top of the corn and pushed down hard. With a "click", another corn fell off.

"so fun."

Zhou Meixiang and Tong Ruoxuan looked at each other, and imitated Pinellia by breaking off two. The vibrations from the stems made their arms tremble slightly.

"We're in for a treat tonight." Ding Xirui smiled and brought a basket.

Tong Hanlin was called over, the table was set up in the yard, corn was cooked, two side dishes were mixed, and a pot of millet soup was made. It was time to eat! The two families sat together, laughing and talking, with the sunset falling on their shoulders, a gentle scene.

When you take a bite, a fresh and sweet taste spreads in your mouth, which is the unique taste of corn.

"Young Madam, it's really delicious." Banxia narrowed her eyes and chewed carefully.

"It's really unique." Everyone exclaimed.

"Mom, I can eat ten!" Tong Ruoxuan's brother said, clenching his fists.

"Eat this first." Zhou Meixiang helped him wipe his mouth.

Ding Xirui turned his eyes, looked at the little boy, and said:

"A fat baby with a beard on his head. He takes off his green clothes and is covered with golden beads. Guess what it is? If you guess it right, I will give you a corn and let you break it yourself."

The little boy stopped, his brows knitted tightly. After a moment, Tong Ruoxuan coughed lightly and glanced at the corn on the table.

"Ah, it's corn! Doctor Ding, am I right?"

"Exactly!"

"Then I'll go pick some right now." He slid off the seat, holding the cooked corn in his left hand, and his right hand was already thinking about the ones still growing on the stalks.

"This kid..." Zhou Meixiang failed to catch him and got nothing.

"Hahahahaha. Sister-in-law, it's okay." Ding Xirui stood up and walked over to help.

After dinner, Zhou Meixiang helped Banxia wash the dishes, and Tong Hanlin helped Lin Mingxuan fetch water. Ding Xirui picked up a pot of jasmine and handed it to Tong Ruoxuan.

"This is a thank you gift, you must accept it."

Tong Ruoxuan waved her hands quickly.

"Doctor Ding, you have already invited our family to dinner, I can't accept this pot of flowers."

"Take it and put it on the windowsill. It will calm your mind. When you grow new flowers in the future, you can give them to me."

"Thank you, Dr. Ding." Tong Ruoxuan finally stretched out her hand.

Now that she has something she wants to do and no longer rejects people blindly, this girl is slowly regaining hope.
