After traveling through time, she took her husband to be a food doctor
Chapter 39: Giving away mugwort sachets and practicing weaving skills
The pomegranate flowers have fallen, peaches are on the market, the sunflowers in the yard are blooming one after another, clothes have been changed into single clothes, and the Dragon Boat Festival is quietly approaching.
Ding Xirui learned the craft of sewing sachets from Mrs. Bai, and sewed one for each of the elders of the Lin and Ding families. When he went to buy cloth before, Banxia showed a very pleased expression, which made Ding Xirui very confused.
"What's wrong, Banxia? Is there something wrong?"
"Miss, you have never liked needlework since you were a child, and even your wife can't do anything about you. But this time, for the sake of the patient, you actually took the initiative to learn. Banxia admires you very much."
"Oh, really? Haha, I suddenly want to learn recently." In the past few months, Ding Xirui has relaxed his vigilance and lived completely at his own pace, forgetting the characteristics of Ding Xirui in the past. Fortunately, Ding Xirui in the past was not good at needlework, otherwise, this gang would be too big.
When she returned home that day, she took the sachets she had made to pay her respects to Mrs. Lin, and Wen Yuexin was also there.
"Xi Rui greets mother and sister-in-law."
"Get up," Mrs. Lin said, "You've been working hard at the clinic recently."
"Thank you for your concern, mother. It's not hard." Ding Xirui stood up, then turned around, took out a sachet from the tray, held it with both hands, and walked to Madam Lin:
"This is a mugwort sachet. Hanging it in the house can repel mosquitoes. Please don't dislike it, mother."
"Xi Rui is thoughtful. Did you do this?" Mrs. Lin asked.
"Yes, the workmanship is rough, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you," said Ding Xirui.
"It's all good intentions. Ruyi, go hang it up." Mrs. Lin instructed Ruyi.
"Yes." Ruyi came over, took the sachet, and went to Mrs. Lin's bedroom.
"Xi Rui, is there a share for me?" Sister-in-law Wen Yuexin asked.
"Of course." Ding Xirui answered with a smile, and Banxia walked over holding the tray.
"This is for my eldest brother and his wife." Ding Xirui took out a light green one and handed it to Wen Yuexin.
"Thank you, Xirui." Wen Yuexin took the sachet, sniffed it, and then said, "It smells like mugwort, and it looks so fresh."
"Yes, the mugwort was grown by a customer who went to the clinic. Pinellia and I watched it dry, and we also put it into the sachets little by little. The quality is absolutely good." Ding Xirui explained.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xirui. I also have a gift here." Wen Yuexin said, and took out a few colorful ropes.
"This is the colorful string that Ruyi and I made. It will be tied on your hands the day after tomorrow on the Dragon Boat Festival to ward off evil spirits."
"You guys are still like children." Mrs. Lin looked at the colorful ropes and smiled.
Most families would let their children wear colorful strings. However, Ding Xirui and her friends were already married adults, yet they still wore them, so Mrs. Lin laughed at their childish nature.
Ding Xirui took out one and compared it with his hand, saying, "We are not children in front of our mother."
"Yes." Wen Yuexin smiled and expressed her agreement.
"Sister-in-law, do you have any extra silk threads? I also want to make a few." Ding Xirui asked.
"Ruyi has some more. I'll give it to you later." Wen Yuexin replied.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gave each other gifts, Ding Xirui asked Ruyi for a bunch of colorful silk threads, and then she and Wen Yuexin left Mrs. Lin's yard together. They sat down on the bamboo chairs in the courtyard.
"Mom, how is your health lately?" Ding Xirui asked.
"I've recovered well. My back and waist don't hurt anymore. I can even drink some of the milk you bought for me," Wen Yuexin replied.
"That's great. I've been going to the clinic and haven't come here often in the past month." Ding Xirui said.
"I heard from your eldest brother that you are quite capable in the clinic. Have you been prescribing medicine for patients together with Mingxuan?"
"No. I can't prescribe medicine. I just do some auxiliary things and give some suggestions on the patient's diet."
"As long as you are happy to do it, it's good." Wen Yuexin said, "My life has been arranged by my elders since I was a child. Now I deal with housework every day. Sometimes, I really envy you."
Ding Xirui looked at Wen Yuexin, as if she saw the appearance of most women in the inner house. The Lin family was pretty good. Thinking of this, she asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you like to do?"
"I don't know what I like to do." Wen Yuexin raised her head and looked at the sky. No one had ever asked her this question, and she had never thought about it.
"What makes you happier when you do something? What makes you excited when you think about it?" Ding Xirui continued to ask.
"Let me think..." Wen Yuexin fell into deep thought. The sky gradually darkened, and mosquitoes began to buzz around her ears. Ding Xirui took out a sachet and put it in his hand.
"It seems that nothing makes me particularly happy. Well, if your elder brother is happy, that would be the happiest thing for me." Wen Yuexin said.
"If you don't consider your elder brother or your mother, what would make you happy when you do it?" Ding Xirui asked.
"Hmm..." Wen Yue couldn't figure it out. Ever since she got married, everything has revolved around the Lin family, and was related to her husband and mother-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, you can think about it carefully these few days. It's a little late today. We can talk again when you have thought it through." Ding Xirui said.
"Okay. Thank you Xirui." Wen Yuexin stood up, grabbed Ding Xirui's hand, and walked towards her yard.
Ding Xirui looked at her back and seemed to see another self.
Back in the yard, she took out the remaining sachets and hung them in various rooms in the yard. She hung two in the toilet.
It was completely dark when Lin Mingxuan walked into the courtyard.
"came back."
"Ah."
"Wash your hands and eat."
"it is good."
Such conversations have become daily occurrences.
After dinner, Ding Xirui called Banxia over.
"Banxia, can you weave colorful ropes?"
"Of course." Banxia said.
"Then... can I do it?" Somehow, Ding Xirui asked this question.
"Miss, don't joke around. Isn't the story you made up better than mine?" Banxia frowned.
"Hahaha, I was just joking." Ding Xirui said, "Come on, make one up for me to see."
"Okay, miss, come and help me hold this end." Banxia said, then pulled out a few strands of each of the five colors, folded them in half, let Ding Xirui pinch the top, then rubbed it a few times, let Ding Xirui let go, and the ropes naturally twisted together in the middle.
Ding Xirui pinched the twisted part, Banxia took out a yellow thread, folded a part of it to form a hole, pressed it on the end of the rope, then wrapped it several times, and finally passed the rope through the hole and used scissors to cut off the excess thread.
"How amazing! This should be a buttonhole." Ding Xirui thought. She would practice slowly in the room later.
"I usually braid this kind of hair," Banxia said. She divided the colorful thread into three strands and braided them into pigtails.
"Well... this is easy." Ding Xirui thought silently. She could braid a pigtail, too. However, the problem was the knot at the end. After gesturing with Ding Xirui's wrist, the main part was quickly braided. When it came to the knot, Banxia divided the rope into two strands, and wrapped her thumb and index finger up and down a few times, and a knot was tied.
Ding Xirui secretly groaned, it seemed that she had not learned how to tie this knot, it looked very difficult.
Banxia picked up the scissors, cut off the excess thread, then quickly drew a line on the flame and quickly pinched the end of the thread. A small flat knot appeared and was threaded onto the end of the rope. The colorful rope was completed!
"It's very beautiful~" Ding Xirui exclaimed.
"Miss, you should make one. You make several every year." Banxia said.
"Several kinds..." If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have asked Ruyi for the five-colored rope. I'm really asking for trouble!
"It's a little late today, let's edit it tomorrow." Ding Xirui decided to avoid Banxia and practice secretly in the room.
"Okay. Then I'll go prepare some water for washing my face." Banxia said and went out.
Ding Xirui tried to recall the bracelets she had made when she was a child. She and her sisters often made flat knots, with two ropes in the middle and the ropes on both sides alternately threaded left and right. At the end, they tied a knot and burned it with a lighter. I haven't touched this for many years, which is really frustrating.
After washing up, Banxia returned to her room. Ding Xirui lit two candles and began to weave ropes.
Fortunately, the flat knot was simple, and she tried a few times before she finished one. Then, she thought of a rotating knot, and when she was excitedly knitting it, Lin Mingxuan knocked on the door.
