Chapter 89 Leisurely Courtyard, Accompanied Day and Night
1. Sweep away the dust and enter the new house
With the blue brick courtyard finalized, everyone immediately gathered in the courtyard and began to clean and tidy up, sweeping away the accumulated debris and years of dust.
The rustic wooden door was slowly pushed open, and a gentle breeze swept through the courtyard, instantly dispelling the dampness and oppressive atmosphere that had accumulated in the long-closed space.
With a graceful and gentle demeanor, Su Wanjing took the lead in stepping into the courtyard. Her delicate eyebrows curved slightly, and her eyes held an undisguised joy and anticipation.
She calmly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender, fair wrists, picked up the broom in the corner, and gently and meticulously swept away the scattered dust, withered branches, and fallen leaves in the yard.
She worked diligently with her eyes lowered, her every move gentle and quiet, her expression focused and peaceful, her heart full of anticipation for a stable new home.
Chen Shanhe stood calmly under the eaves, his hands behind his back, his posture upright and composed, his gentle gaze quietly falling on Su Wanjing, who was busy in the courtyard.
A faint, gentle smile always graced his lips, his expression serene and composed. The usual hustle and bustle of making house calls and rushing around had vanished, leaving only a heart full of peace and tranquility.
Murong Fangxiang moved nimbly, quickly fetching a clean rag and carefully wiping the wooden railings of the doors and windows, as well as the beams and pillars under the eaves. She turned to look at everyone, her eyes bright and cheerful as she began to speak.
"Now we've finally settled on a house that suits our tastes and can move into a stable place. From now on, we won't have to live a life of hardship, constantly moving around and having to find places to stay."
Zhou Deshan and Xu Jingming were respectful and humble. They worked together to move the discarded items and old objects piled up in the yard. Their movements were steady and diligent, and they did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
The two of them kept their heads down and worked while talking in hushed tones. Their expressions were sincere and gentle, and their eyes were full of relief and warmth for their master's safe and secure place to live.
"My master has worked hard all his life practicing medicine, traveling from place to place. Now he finally has a stable place to live. From now on, he can concentrate on studying medical principles and no longer have to suffer from wandering."
Su Wanjing lowered her head and carefully swept the floor, a few strands of her black hair sliding down her cheeks and sticking to her fair skin.
She stopped what she was doing, raised her hand and gently brushed the stray strands of hair behind her ear. Her eyes were gentle and charming, and she remained patient and meticulous, cleaning every corner of the courtyard until it was spotless.
In a short while, all the dust in the courtyard was swept away, and all the clutter was neatly moved out, making the entire courtyard clean, bright, and completely refreshed.
As everyone looked around the clean and tidy courtyard, smiles of relief and comfort appeared on their faces. The anxiety that had been building up over the past few days finally settled down.
As evidenced by the poem
Sweep away the dust in the courtyard and enter the elegant residence.
A gentle breeze fills the courtyard, free from dust and weeds.
All the past troubles have faded away.
From then on, they lived in peace and comfort.
II. Gentle and meticulous home life
After the courtyard was cleaned up, everyone said their goodbyes and left, leaving only Chen Shanhe and Su Wanjing to guard the courtyard.
Without pausing for a moment, Su Wanjing turned and went into the house, where she began to carefully organize the various items.
Her expression was serious and meticulous, her eyes focused and gentle, as she gently wiped the tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and utensils with her fingertips.
The dust in the corners and crevices was wiped away one by one, and the scattered furniture and objects were all put back in a neat and tidy manner.
She bent down to lay out the clean bedding and folded her clothes neatly, her movements gentle and methodical.
The room, which was originally cold and empty, was instantly filled with a warm and cozy atmosphere after she tidied it up with her skillful hands.
Su Wanjing straightened up, gently stretched her waist, and raised her hand to rub her slightly sore waist.
She turned her head and looked around the tidy room, her eyebrows curving and a gentle smile naturally appearing on her lips.
Chen Shanhe walked slowly into the house, his gaze falling quietly on Su Wanjing's busy figure, a gentle light flowing in his eyes.
He slowed his pace, afraid of disturbing the peaceful and beautiful scene before him, and spoke softly.
"Thank you for your hard work. You've taken care of everything so meticulously, making this empty courtyard feel like a home."
Su Wanjing turned around at the sound of his voice, met his gentle gaze, and a faint blush rose on her cheeks.
She gently shook her head, her voice soft and gentle, her tone full of willing warmth.
"Being able to stay by your side and take care of your daily life, no matter how hard it is, makes my heart sweet."
As evidenced by the poem
Sushoujing Psychological Cottage,
Gentle and thoughtful touches warm the living room.
A house built with the smoke of cooking fires by hand.
I will cherish every moment spent by your side.
III. Sitting quietly amidst mountains and rivers, observing the dawn and dusk.
During the day, when he had nothing to do, Chen Shanhe would sit quietly by the blue stone table in the courtyard.
He raised his hand and brewed a pot of tea. The steam rose gently, and the delicate aroma of tea filled the entire courtyard.
I lay out a thick medical book beside me, my fingertips gently tracing the pages as I quietly studied the principles of traditional Chinese medicine.
He occasionally glanced up, his gaze passing over the window and landing on Su Wanjing, who was busy tidying up inside.
His eyes were peaceful and gentle, without a trace of restlessness or haste, only the calm and tenderness that comes with the passage of time.
In the past, I was always rushing to make house calls, braving wind and rain, and never had such a leisurely and peaceful moment.
Now I have a small courtyard to settle down in, where I can find peace of mind, read books, enjoy tea, watch people go about their business, and feel completely at peace.
After finishing her work, Su Wanjing slowly walked out of the house and stood quietly on the porch without saying a word.
She watched Chen Shanhe quietly as he sipped tea and read in the courtyard, her eyes filled with peace and contentment.
Sunlight streamed into the courtyard, bathing the two of them in warm glow. Time flowed slowly, peaceful and beautiful.
Chen Shanhe noticed her gaze, slowly raised his eyes, and their eyes met. Both of them smiled calmly.
No need for extra words to express our feelings; a single glance is enough for us to understand each other's thoughts and feel a deep warmth in our hearts.
Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, and free from the hurried and tiring work of practicing medicine, they were left with only the two of them.
A hospital, two people, a cup of tea, and medical books—that's all it takes to overcome all the hustle and bustle and the weariness of the world.
As evidenced by the poem
Sit leisurely in the courtyard, enjoying a cup of tea.
I quietly pass the years by turning the pages of medical books.
The everyday life of ordinary people
Home is simple and gentle.
IV. Staying together and peacefully passing the years.
The morning light, cool and refreshing, spreads across the courtyard as dawn breaks, while the warm, gentle rays of the setting sun softly illuminate the green-tiled rooftops at dusk.
In the quiet courtyard, the passing of time is peaceful and serene, and every day is a tranquil and peaceful scene.
Every morning at the first light of dawn, Chen Shanhe and Su Wanjing would stand side by side in the courtyard.
A gentle breeze caressed their faces as the two spoke softly, exchanging a few heartwarming, everyday words.
The two had long since shed their usual tired appearance from making house calls and rushing around, and their expressions were relaxed and at ease.
His eyes and brows were calm and serene, no longer showing the anxiety of rushing around, but filled with a sense of peace and stability.
As the deep night slowly enveloped the entire provincial capital, a warm, soft yellow light was lit inside the house.
A warm, dim light spread out, and the two sat quietly together under the lamp, without making a sound or disturbing the peace.
There is no noise or bustle from the city outside the window, nor the daily hustle and bustle of traveling for medical consultations.
Shedding the dust and hustle of daily life, all that remains is the simple, warm, peaceful, and down-to-earth everyday life, year after year.
Su Wanjing sat calmly to the side next to the lamp, her fingertips gently arranging the small household items.
A gentle, serene smile always graced her lips, and an unyielding warmth lingered in her eyes.
She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze gently falling on Chen Shanhe, who was sitting quietly beside her, and spoke softly.
His tone was gentle and melodious, every word coming from the bottom of his heart, full of the comforting feeling after shedding his wanderlust.
"I used to follow you all the way, wandering around practicing medicine, traveling all over the country, with no fixed abode."
"No matter where I go, my heart is always in suspense; I never feel at ease or secure when I land."
"Now that we have this peaceful little courtyard, I can stay by your side safely every day."
"To be together day and night, to quietly cherish each other, I have no other desires in this life."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shanhe slowly put down the medical book he was reading and turned to look at her with deep affection and tenderness.
His expression was sincere and earnest, his eyes were gentle and tender, and his tone was calm and warm as he slowly responded.
"In the long years to come, we will no longer have to wander aimlessly, drifting from place to place."
"You are with me day and night, I will protect you for a lifetime of peace and tranquility, year after year."
The lights inside flickered gently, filling the entire room with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
The soft lamplight cast the silhouettes of the two people leaning against each other gently onto the hazy window paper.
From then on, they bid farewell to their past hardships and settled down in this small brick courtyard in the provincial capital.
They stayed together day and night, quietly studying medicine, practicing medicine and saving lives with peace of mind, living a simple and peaceful life.
The most precious and beautiful moments in life are never the glitz and glamour, but the ordinary joys of everyday life, with your loved one always by your side, peaceful and inseparable year after year.
As evidenced by the poem
Morning dew and evening glow
The small courtyard peacefully passes the years.
Being together day and night brings peace of mind.
May we share a cup of tea for the rest of our lives.
