--- In the early autumn evening in northern Jiangsu, the heat of the day still lingers in the air. In the Cui family's courtyard, a temporary incandescent light bulb illuminated the entire courtyard, and the brand-new red Double Happiness paper-cuts on the doors and windows were particularly bright under the light. "Mingyuan, hurry up!" Li Xiuying stood in the middle of the yard, hands on her hips, and shouted into the house. She was wearing a dark red Doliang shirt today, her hair was combed meticulously, and her face was flushed from being busy. "The guests are coming soon, why are you dawdling around as a groom?" There was a rustling sound in the room, and Cui Mingyuan walked out quickly while fastening the top button of his shirt. He has a slender figure and a pair of bright eyes under his thick eyebrows, but he looks a little cramped at the moment. "Mom, this collar is too tight. It's too tight." "Why tighten it!" Li Xiuying stepped forward and straightened the collar for him without any explanation, "Today is your big day, so you have to endure it no matter how tight it is." Her rough fingers gently brushed the non-existent dust on her son's shoulders, and her eyes suddenly softened, "My son is really a talented person, and that girl Xiaolan is so lucky." Cui Mingyuan smiled sheepishly and glanced at the four round tables neatly arranged in the yard. Each table is covered with a red tablecloth, with melon seeds, peanuts and wedding candies placed on it. The makeshift stove beside the courtyard wall was steaming, and several neighbor aunts were busy preparing dishes there. "Where's dad?" Cui Mingyuan asked. "I'm going to pick up your sister at the entrance of the village." Li Xiuying said, and hurriedly walked to the stove, "Old Liu's, has the fish been steamed? Don't waste time." Cui Mingyuan stood in the middle of the yard and took a deep breath. Today is the day he and Qin Xiaolan get married. As the first college student in the village to be admitted to medical school and now a doctor working in the county hospital, his marriage has always been a major concern for his parents. And Qin Xiaolan, the girl who taught Chinese in the county middle school, was gentle and intellectual, and she made his heart flutter at the first meeting. "What are you thinking about?" A cheerful voice came from behind. Cui Mingyuan turned around and saw her sister Cui Mingxia walking into the yard carrying large and small bags, followed by her father Cui Dashan. "Sister!" Cui Mingyuan hurried up to meet her and took the luggage in her hand, "The train is not delayed, right?" "For my brother's big day, do you dare to delay the train?" Cui Mingxia joked with a smile. She is five years older than Cui Mingyuan and works in Nanjing. Her facial features are similar to those of her younger brother, but she is just a little more capable. Cui Dashan put down the bag in his hand and patted his son on the shoulder. His dark face was full of pride: "Are you ready?" "Yes, everything is ready." Cui Mingyuan nodded. The roughness and strength of his father's palms made him feel reassured. Cui Mingxia had already started checking various preparations in a hurry: "Are the wedding candies laid out? Are the firecrackers ready? Have you contacted the bride's car?" She asked as she took out a delicate box from her bag, "This is the gift I brought for Xiaolan, the latest style in Nanjing." Li Xiuying walked over, her eyes a little moist: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back. Your brother is getting married today, and our family will be complete." At this moment, Cui Mingyuan's cell phone suddenly rang. He took it out and saw that it was the hospital number, and his brows wrinkled unconsciously. "What's wrong?" Cui Mingxia was keenly aware of the change in her brother's expression. "The hospital's phone number." Cui Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then picked up, "Hello, I'm Cui Mingyuan." A quick voice came from the other end of the phone, and Cui Mingyuan's face gradually became serious. After hanging up the phone, he looked at his family and his Adam's apple rolled: "There was a car accident in the county. There were three seriously injured people. One of the children was in critical condition and needed immediate surgery. The hospital... The hospital hopes that I can go there." The yard fell silent for an instant, except for the pot on the stove that was still gurgling. "Now?" Li Xiuying's voice was trembling, "But... But your wedding..." Cui Dashan silently took out his tobacco bag, sat down on the threshold, and slowly lit it. Cui Mingxia looked at her watch: "There are still two hours before the auspicious time. Is it too late?" Cui Mingyuan shook his head in pain: "The child has a ruptured spleen and severe bleeding. The operation will take at least three or four hours..." His voice became lower and lower, "But I am the most experienced surgeon on duty today..." "Go." Cui Dashan suddenly spoke and blew out a smoke ring, "Human life is at stake." Li Xiuying's lips trembled, but she finally nodded: "Go, kid. Xiaolan's side... We will explain." Cui Mingyuan's eyes were hot. He did not expect his parents to be so understanding. He looked at his sister. Cui Mingxia had already picked up the car keys: "I'll take you to the hospital, quickly!" Just as they were about to go out, the hospital door was pushed open, and Qin Xiaolan, wearing a red cheongsam, walked in accompanied by the bridesmaid. Seeing Cui Mingyuan's hurried look, she asked doubtfully: "What's wrong? What happened?" Cui Mingyuan walked up to her quickly and held her hand: "Xiaolan, there is an emergency in the hospital and I have to go there immediately. There is a child who needs surgery..." Qin Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, then showed an understanding smile: "Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly." She pushed him gently, "The wedding can wait, but life cannot wait." Cui Mingyuan took a deep look at her, turned around, and ran with his sister to the car parked outside the door. Behind him, he heard his father starting to make arrangements: "Lao Li, please go and inform the guests that the wedding has been postponed until evening. Xiuying, keep the food warm..." As the car drove out of the alley, Cui Mingyuan clenched his fists and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He knew he had the best family. The lights in the county hospital's operating room were harsh and cold. Cui Mingyuan changed into surgical clothes, washed his hands and disinfected, and performed all the actions in one go. When he stood in front of the operating table and looked at the pale little girl, all distracting thoughts disappeared, leaving only the doctor's instinct. "Blood pressure?" "80/50, Still falling." "Prepare for blood transfusion, speed up the infusion." The scalpel seemed to be alive in his hands, cutting, stopping bleeding, and suturing accurately. Three hours seemed to be frozen. It was not until it was finally confirmed that the bleeding point had completely stopped and the vital signs had stabilized that Cui Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "Dr. Cui, you are so amazing!" The young assistant said with admiration. Cui Mingyuan shook his head: "Let's notify the family members quickly." He looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was already 7:30 pm. After taking off his surgical clothes, Cui Mingyuan called home in the dressing room. The person who answered the phone was Cui Mingxia: "Did the operation go well?" "Yes, the child is out of danger." Cui Mingyuan's voice was full of exhaustion, "How is... At home?" "Everything has been arranged, and the guests are very understanding. Some of them even praised you as a good doctor." Cui Mingxia said with a smile, "Xiaolan has been waiting here without even taking off her makeup. Dad said that when you come back, the wedding will be held as usual, but it will be later." Cui Mingyuan felt a sore nose: "I'll go back right away." When he dragged his tired body back to the small courtyard, the sight in front of him stunned him. In the courtyard, all the guests were still there, the dishes on the table were steaming, and the red lanterns were particularly warm in the night. Seeing him come in, I don't know who clapped first, and soon the applause started. Cui Dashan came over and patted his son on the shoulder: "Good job." Li Xiuying wiped her tears: "Go and change clothes quickly, Xiaolan is waiting." Cui Mingyuan saw Qin Xiaolan standing at the door of the hall. She was still wearing the red cheongsam, and she was stunningly beautiful under the light. He walked over quickly and held her hand: "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting." Qin Xiaolan shook her head, her eyes shining: "I'm proud of you." The simple ceremony was carried out with everyone's blessings. Worshiping heaven and earth, worshiping high halls, and couples worshiping each other, every aspect is full of tenderness. When Cui Mingyuan and Qin Xiaolan served tea to Cui Dashan and Li Xiuying, Li Xiuying finally couldn't help but shed tears. "Mom, don't cry." Cui Mingyuan said softly. "I'm so happy." Li Xiuying wiped her tears, "My son has grown up, become a good doctor, and married a good wife..." Cui Dashan nodded silently on the side, his eyes full of joy. After the banquet started, Cui Mingyuan and Qin Xiaolan toasted table by table. Although tired, Cui Mingyuan's heart was full of warmth. When he saw the old man in the corner who had been treated by him and came to congratulate him, he was even more moved. As the night progressed, the guests gradually dispersed. Cui Mingxia helped clean up the yard, and Cui Dashan and Li Xiuying were also tired and sat on chairs to rest. Cui Mingyuan and Qin Xiaolan walked up to them. "Dad, Mom, thank you for today." Cui Mingyuan said sincerely. "Silly boy, thank you." Li Xiuying smiled and waved her hand. Cui Dashan stood up and took out a small cloth bag from his arms: "This is a little thought from your mother and I. Take it." Cui Mingyuan opened it and saw a pair of simple silver bracelets. "This is..." "Your grandma left it," Cui Dashan said, "She said it was to be passed on to her grandson's wife." Qin Xiaolan took it carefully, with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Dad, thank you Mom." Cui Mingxia came over and hugged her brother's shoulders: "Okay, you are tired today. You should rest early. I will take care of the rest." Under the moonlight, the Cui family courtyard gradually became quiet. The red words "Happy" swayed gently in the night wind, witnessing this ordinary family's extraordinary night. Here, responsibility and love, tradition and modernity are perfectly integrated. ---
