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

Three days later, Master Lin took Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui to Magistrate Wang's house. Magistrate Wang's yard was not big, even smaller than Ding Xirui's. There were no rockeries or streams in the yard, nor pavilions. The garden was planted with vegetables and fruit trees instead of flowers. Magistrate Wang was about the same age as Master Lin, and his face was cold and serious, which made people feel awe.

"Doctor Lin, please come in." The magistrate welcomed everyone from the Lin family into the main house.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." The three of them entered the house one by one. The tables and chairs in the house looked like they had been there for many years. The edge of the tablecloth on the main seat had turned white. There were no porcelain vases or pottery decorations on the table, only a pot of mint.

The two women brought the tea into the room, poured it, and turned to leave. At this time, the magistrate spoke:

"This is my wife, and the other one is Mrs. Guan who came to my house to help."

Everyone in the Lin family quickly stood up and saluted Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang smiled and returned the salute, saying, "Doctor Lin, please take a seat. This must be the second young master. I heard that you have done a lot of good things in Luoxi Village. You are so young, you are really amazing."

"I dare not." Lin Mingxuan leaned over and saluted again.

"I still have some work to do in the backyard. You can talk slowly. Call me anytime if you need anything." Mrs. Lin said, and then she took Mrs. Guan out. She looked about the same age as Mrs. Lin, but her steps were much more steady.

The magistrate's family was so simple that even his wife did things by hand. The three members of the Lin family immediately admired them.

Magistrate Wang took a sip of tea and said, "Thank you very much for Jishitang's great help in this free clinic. The second young master also did a great thing for the children. I should have personally come to thank you, but unfortunately I was too busy with government affairs to spare the time."

"Your Excellency is generous in seeking benefits for the villagers. Lin Yunsen's family and the doctors in the city admire you very much and are willing to contribute to Luocheng County." Master Lin stood up and saluted again. Seeing this, Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui also stood up.

"Thank you, Doctor Lin. Please take a seat." The magistrate stood up and motioned for them to sit down.

"Sir, I, Lin, have brought my son Mingxuan here to report and to make a request. Please allow me to report to you in detail." said Mr. Lin.

"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Magistrate Wang stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

Lin Mingxuan stood up and first picked out a few of the situations he had learned from the free clinic, and then detailed how he found the child was malnourished, then investigated, and finally came up with a plan, asking the village head to help promote everything. Finally, he paused and said:

"Sir, even the best cook cannot cook without rice. Forgive Mingxuan for speaking frankly, the fundamental problem is that there is not enough food, and the people are still struggling to make ends meet."

Magistrate Wang listened quietly, and at first he was worried, then happy, and finally ashamed. Mr. Lin was shocked.

"I have been an official for many years and I know the sufferings of the people. In the past few years, I have been focusing on Luobei, Luonan and other places. The situation in Luoxi is relatively not that serious, so I have been leaving it alone. I am really ashamed."

"Sir Wang, since you took office, you have done countless practical things for the people. Everyone is extremely grateful to you." Master Lin hurried forward and said.

"Sir, Mingxuan has a solution, which is the 'request' my father just mentioned. Please listen to it." Lin Mingxuan said.

"Please speak, Second Young Master." Magistrate Wang put away his sorrow and said to Lin Mingxuan.

"Improve the river channel." Lin Mingxuan said.

"River?" Magistrate Wang asked. He had not been back to his hometown for the past two years and did not know what the Luoxi River looked like.

"Yes, in the Luoxi section, the river has not been managed for many years. In recent years, people have been forced to make a living by destroying part of the forests and turning them into fields. After the rain, a large amount of mud and sand from the forest flows into the river, the number of fish and shrimps decreases, the water level rises, and the river problem has become quite serious." Lin Mingxuan said.

"In that case, I should go and observe and solve the problem as soon as possible," said County Magistrate Wang.

"Thank you, sir." Lin Mingxuan bowed again.

The conversation lasted for a long time, and Ding Xirui was listening. When the county magistrate talked about Luonan, she thought of Uncle Luo's family. Luonan has been planting corn in recent years, and the county magistrate should know this. Since Luoxi's food problem also needs to be solved, it should be helpful to let Luoxi grow some corn as well. Thinking of this, Ding Xirui whispered to Lin Mingxuan:

"Uncle Luo, corn."

After listening to this, Lin Mingxuan nodded, thought for a moment, then stood up and said, "Sir, my wife has an idea about food, but I don't know if I should tell her." He did not speak himself, but instead fought for an opportunity for Ding Xirui.

Ding Xirui's hands began to tremble.

"Madam, please speak." Magistrate Wang gestured.

Ding Xirui stood up, bowed and said, "I heard that there is a food in Luonan called 'corn'. This food can grow at the foot of the mountain. It is very easy to survive, tastes delicious, and has a high yield. I wonder if this food can be introduced to Luoxi?"

"That's right. Corn has only been planted for two or three years, and this is just an experiment, but this thing is indeed as Madam said. I wanted to make an estimate before promoting it, but I didn't expect Madam to have heard of it."

"I heard about it by chance. However, although corn is good, it has its drawbacks because it is a foreign food. I heard that foreigners would add alkaline water when cooking, which can make up for the shortcomings of corn and is more beneficial to the body and mind." Ding Xirui continued with courage.

"So there are such knowledges. This is the first time I have heard of them. We must tell the people immediately." After Magistrate Wang finished speaking, he looked at Master Lin and continued, "The Lin family is indeed a medical family. The second son and his wife are both very promising at a young age. It's really amazing."

"Excuse me, sir." Mr. Lin thought of Lin Mingxuan's previous request and thought that maybe he could really let his daughter-in-law go to the clinic.

"Corn needs to be planted before midsummer, so now is just the right time and it's feasible. However, the river issue is a big deal, and I need to make a decision with my colleagues in the government. If things go well, we have to wait until winter to start work, so now is not the right time." Magistrate Wang said.

"I'll leave it to you, sir. If there's anything you need from Jishiditang, please let me know." Mr. Lin stood up and saluted, and Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui also quickly stood up.

"Thank you Jishidiang for proposing this good solution that benefits the world and the people. On behalf of the people of Luoxi, I would like to thank you all." County Magistrate Wang also stood up and bowed to the Lin family.

"We dare not." The three members of the Lin family quickly returned the greeting.

Several people talked about the details of improving the eating habits of Luoxi Village. Master Lin and Lin Mingxuan looked at each other and made sure that there was nothing else to do, so they said goodbye. It was finally over, and Ding Xirui breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile blooming on the corners of his mouth, and he couldn't let it go.

As soon as I went out, the sky was clear. In the magistrate's courtyard, peach leaves were dense, and fruits of all sizes were faintly visible on the branches. On the other side, the second batch of green vegetables had grown out, and fresh buds were sprouting from the round hearts of the vegetables. Ding Xirui followed behind Lin Mingxuan, and the road under her feet was illuminated by the sun, and she felt warm all over.

"Thank you." After getting in the car, she said to Lin Mingxuan.

"No, this matter should be brought up by you," Lin Mingxuan said, "Father may have relented. I will bring up the matter of you going to the clinic in the next few days."

"Thank you." Ding Xirui felt a lump in his throat and choked up a little.

"You...what's wrong with you?" Lin Mingxuan heard something strange and asked quickly.

"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just too happy." Ding Xirui took a deep breath and returned to normal.

"You are always like this, always thanking me. You really don't have to be so polite to me. I am your..." Lin Mingxuan swallowed his words, turned his face away, and sighed. Ding Xirui had thanked him many times, which made him feel indescribably awkward. They have been together for so long, why is it like this? Besides, didn't she notice his feelings at all?

Ding Xirui was a little depressed. She didn't know why Lin Mingxuan's mood changed. She was really grateful to him. Even if they were real husband and wife, real lovers, they should express their gratitude when it's time.

Husband and wife? Lovers? Was this what Lin Mingxuan hadn't said just now? Was he angry because he thought she still treated him as an outsider? Did she like him?

He supported her in doing what she wanted to do, and she was grateful to him; she couldn't take her eyes off him when she saw him taking the pulse of a patient; she wanted to tease him when she had a wreath in her hand; she was worried about him when she saw the chapped lips; she felt relieved when she heard him arrange things in an orderly manner; she felt warm in her heart when she heard him say to Tian Qi, "It's not your fault that you're sick"; she couldn't control her heartbeat when he wiped her hair; she blushed for a long time when she held his hand...

The answer is yes.

Fragments flashed through his mind, and Ding Xirui said, "I'm sorry, I won't do this again. Let's do more things together in the future."

Then she placed her hand on the hand of the person opposite her.

Lin Mingxuan turned around, his heart warmed, and he held the little hand tightly.

In another carriage, Mr. Lin was also thinking about something. After a moment, he made up his mind.

When he got off the car at home, he stopped Lin Mingxuan and his wife and said, "If Xirui wants to go to the clinic, he can go anytime." Then he turned and went into the house.

Ding Xirui was stunned in place, only to hear Lin Mingxuan's voice ringing in his ears: "Thank you, father."

Lin Mingxuan pulled her sleeve and she reacted.

"Thank you, father!" She stood on tiptoe and shouted towards Mr. Lin's back.
