Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 168. Chapter 168.
After dinner, everyone sat down and chatted for a while, and then went back to their respective homes. They didn't drink at night, and they didn't need to be escorted home.

Lin Qingxi didn't need to speak by herself, the two little girls Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu brought hot water for her, helped her wash up, put her on the kang to sleep, and the rest of the family went to wash and rest one after another. up.

After dawn, Lin Qingxi put on her clothes and walked out of the room, only to find that the snow had stopped and the sun had come out, but the temperature was still not high, and it was a little warmer than the previous few days.

"Girl Xi, you're awake. Mingren came over this morning and said that the patriarch had a cold. He was a bit unsure about prescribing the medicine. I want you to go and have a look. I heard his tone. The patriarch's illness is a bit serious. You can go and have a look." Just do your best, and if it doesn't work, send it to the hospital," Seeing Lin Qingxi coming out, Mother Zhou walked up to her and whispered.

"I see. Are Yizheng and the others up yet? Mother, go ask Yizheng, Yirong, and Yijing to follow me," Lin Qingxi nodded, went to the bathroom to get toothbrush, toothpaste and towel, and picked up After receiving the warm water handed over by Zhou Mingmin, they are now washing in the yard.

Soon, Lin Yizheng and the others were woken up by Zhou's mother. Lin Qingxi was having breakfast in the main room, and they washed up in the yard. They could go to the main room to eat dumplings together just after washing.

After breakfast, Lin Qingxi took the three children out to see a doctor. Before leaving, Lin Qingxi asked Lin Yizheng to go to the health center to get her medicine box and some cold medicines, and then she took the two children to the patriarch. go home.

After Lin Qingxi left, Zhou's mother started to prepare new year's goods again. At this time, every family rarely went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy new year's goods. Even if they bought them, they only bought some candy and biscuits. Peanuts and melon seeds were all grown on their own plots. Or picked from the mountains.

"Father, you and Girl Min go to the cellar and bring up the chestnuts, chestnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, and sunflower seeds we picked earlier. Don't forget to take the peanuts too. It just so happens that today is a good day. I will send it to the Imperial Capital with the rabbit to give Pingzi and his wife some specialties at home," Zhou's mother said in a rambling manner while cleaning the pot.

Zhou's father and Zhou Mingmin did not make a sound, and silently did the work at hand. After the father and daughter took out the things from the cellar, one was in charge of lighting the fire, and the other was in charge of helping Zhou's mother.

On the fire rack, Zhou's father put one or two pieces of thick firewood to heat the pot, and poured some clean crushed stone sand into the pot. And the peanuts are put in the pot and fried over low heat in turn, then the chestnuts and chestnuts are steamed, and after steaming, they are fried in the pot to dry the water.

"Father, take the fried pine nuts to the yard to cool off," Zhou's mother put the fried pine nuts out of the pot, sieved the pine nuts out, and then poured walnuts into the pot.

Walnuts are big and have thick skins, making them difficult to stir-fry. Not only that, but also labor-intensive to stir-fry. Zhou's mother gave up the seat to Zhou's father who just came in from the yard.

After frying for more than half an hour, Zhou's father shoveled out a walnut and tasted it. After confirming that the walnut was ripe, he put the walnut out of the pot and handed it to Zhou's mother to fry the sunflower seeds.

"Children, fried sunflower seeds taste better with some salt," Zhou's father said quickly when Zhou's mother poured the sunflower seeds into the pot.

"Understood, I will put more salt for you this year," Mother Zhou replied with a smile. Last year, I put less salt, so he had a good time reading.

Sunflower seeds are small and easy to cook. Stir fry for about ten minutes until they are cooked. Put the sunflower seeds in a sieve and sieve them, then put them out of the pan and fry the peanuts.

The family grows a lot of peanuts this year. After all, they have two plots of private land. Mother Zhou and Zhou Mingmin are hardworking. The production in the private plots is well managed and the output is very good.

Mother Zhou fried some peanut oil, and Lin Qingxi made some peanut butter two months ago. The rest of the peanuts were in the bag, only one or two hundred catties. Mother Zhou planned to keep one third for later use, and the rest All poured into the pot.

After this busy meal, a morning passed, and Zhou's mother was about to start preparing lunch again, but before preparing lunch, Zhou's mother took out the marinated vegetables that were still soaking in the marinade in the bath tub, and cut them all up. Then they are wrapped in oiled paper and put into the cellar. After the fried walnuts are cooled, they are also packed in cloth bags and put into the cellar.

"Father, let's eat pancakes at noon when it's on fire. Mingfa didn't send a fish two days ago, so let's eat the stewed fish with pickled cabbage." Zhou's mother said this to want Zhou's father to deal with the fish quickly. Father Zhou also understood, nodded slightly and went to work.

"Girl Min, what did your grandparents go to do? They went out after breakfast, and haven't come back yet," Zhou's mother was busy before and didn't feel anything, but now she felt that the house was too quiet after her work, and she was not used to it .

"Didn't my uncle say that tomorrow is not going to fish and divide the fish? Today, when the fish pond is released, many fish are released below. Many children in the team are picking up fish. My grandma took the children to watch the fun. , " Zhou Mingmin thought of his grandma's tone like that of a child in the morning, and he just wanted to laugh.

"It's time for dinner, and it's time to come back. I don't know what's going on with girl Xi?" Zhou's mother couldn't help worrying when she thought that Lin Qingxi had been away for so long and hadn't come back.

"It's going to be fine. I think girl Xi knows that if she doesn't look down on the patriarch, she will send Ming Ren's family to the hospital. She hasn't come back yet, so she must be treating the patriarch," Zhou Mingmin thought for a while. With Qing Xi's personality, if she really couldn't be cured, she would definitely not force herself to see a doctor.

"It's good if it can be cured, the patriarch is also a good person," Zhou's mother said thoughtfully, the mother and daughter chatted for a while, and Zhou's father brought in the processed fish.

Zhou's father put the fish on the stove and started a fire, but Zhou's mother took the fish through the oil, put in ginger slices and stewed it directly.

After the fish was stewed, Zhou's mother went to make the noodles. Anyway, the stove was in use all the time, and the temperature in the kitchen was very high, so the noodles were made very quickly.

"Father, you go to your private plot to pull out two white radishes and fry them up." There was nothing to eat at home, and there was nothing to eat in winter, and they were all used to it, but they were a little worried that Lin Qingxi would not have the appetite to eat.

"Okay, I'll go right away," Father Zhou replied and walked towards the private plot. When he came back, he was holding two white radishes in his hand.

Zhou's father washed the radish and gave it to Zhou Mingmin. She asked Zhou's mother and then cut the radish into shreds, which will be boiled and eaten later.

Zhou's mother's cooking skills are still very good, and everyone is more accommodating to Lin Qingxi's taste, so for now, Lin Qingxi is living very comfortably.
