Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 175. Chapter 175.
Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came out of Uncle Sun's house and went home directly. When they got home, they were just in time for dinner. After eating, Zhou's mother called the children to stop.

Zhou's mother divided the New Year's gifts of several families quickly, and each family had a pack of toffee, two kinds of tobacco and alcohol, one leg of mutton, and one air-dried rabbit.

"Yizheng, Yirong, this is for your uncle and uncle's house, Xiaoyan, Xiaoxu, this is for your grandpa's house, remember to come back and clean up after delivering the things," Mother Zhou said all The things were divided and put in the baskets, and the four of them were sent to deliver them.

When they come back after delivering the things, they still have to go to the homes of Lin Qingxi's three apprentices, but the annual gifts for the apprentices' homes are not so heavy. There is only a pack of toffee and dried rabbits, the same cigarettes and alcohol, and then two A lamb chop.

Lin Yizheng and Lin Yizheng went hunting in the mountains a few days ago. Under Lin Qingxi's secret guidance, they hunted two wild goats and came back, and asked Father Zhou to pack up the two goats. Sun Pang also had a leg of mutton each, and after two days, he would send a leg of mutton to Zhang's family and Zhou Guizhi's. Lin Qingxi's three apprentices each shared two mutton chops, and the rest of the meat was kept for their own consumption. up.

It took the children two trips to deliver the New Year gift. As for Zhou Guizhi's family and Zhang's family in Qinghe City, they had to pick a new time to go there.

"Okay, I'll leave the New Year's gift to the children. Father, you go chop some firewood. It's a young year today. Girl Min and I will give everyone something delicious tonight," Mother Zhou said with a smile. You can tell I'm in a good mood.

"The last time the stewed pig was put into the water, I haven't eaten yet, I haven't eaten any of the braised pig's trotters, and I haven't eaten the stewed pig's head meat. How about eating some of them?" Zhou Mingmin thought about the supplies at home, and decided Good meal tonight.

"Sure! Eat whatever you have," Lin Qingxi said with a smile on her face. There was something delicious, and the children naturally agreed.

After the decision was made, the boys went out to give the New Year's gift, and the sisters Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu sat at the end of the kang and continued to knit sweaters. The sweaters they knit have entered the final state. But the result is satisfactory. Although the knitted sweater is a bit ugly, it is still wearable.

There was a crackling sound in the yard, and you didn't need to look to know that Zhou's father was chopping firewood again. Xiang Yikang followed Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin to the kitchen to help. After the dishes were ready, Mother Zhou drove her to the main room to make clothes.

The clothes for the Sun family are not only ready, but have already been delivered. It is estimated that Sun Pang and his wife have already put them on, so the clothes for Zhou Dajiang and his wife should also be put on the agenda.

Making clothes is not difficult. There is a sewing machine at home, so it doesn't take much effort. Just measure the size of Zhou Dajiang and Grandma Zhou, cut out the cloth, and start making winter clothes.

In the evening, Mother Zhou cooked a very hearty meal, including elbows, fried pork head with chili, braised pork lung with sour chili, stewed pork ribs with lamb chops and shredded potatoes, and stewed vermicelli with sauerkraut, followed by cold fungus and fried shredded radish. Then there is a steamed egg, specially for children.

"Today is a new year. Several happy events have happened in our family this year. In the future, the whole family should work together to make life better." Father Zhou, the pillar of the family, said a few simple words to Zhou Dajiang and Grandma Zhou. Each took a chopstick of elbow meat, and Zhou's mother picked up a piece of lamb chops, and everyone started to eat.

"It's delicious!" The children ate the meat. After the two families ate together, the Zhou family's stomach was not short of oil and water. Even Zhou Dajiang and his wife were often taken over to fill up, and Zhou Guitang's family also benefited a lot.

Therefore, there is a table of meat dishes on the table now, and the children did not appear to compete for or occupy the dishes. They all tasted not very refined, but they were better than most of the people.

After dinner, Zhou's mother refused Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu's sisters to help clean up the dishes, and washed the dishes by herself, and asked Zhou Mingmin to boil hot water for the family to take a bath.

On the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, brothers Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong rode bicycles and went to Qinghe City with the annual ceremony prepared by Lin Qingxi. When they arrived in Qinghe City, the two brothers split up. Rong also went to Zhou Guizhi's house with a basket on his back.

After the Zhang family, Lin Yizheng delivered the annual gift, said a few words to Zhang Qingguo, and then left. Chen Xiaocui and the others were still in the imperial capital and did not come back, because it was snowing heavily in the imperial capital and the train was out of service, so they couldn’t come back. They had to wait You can come back only after the train is unsealed after the year.

Not only did Lin Qingxi prepare annual gifts for the Zhang family, but the Zhang family also returned gifts. Some were sent by the imperial capital Chen Xiaocui, and some were sent by other members of the Zhang family from all over the world.

Basically, the entire Zhang family is either in the army or in politics, and everyone is scattered. Only the old man of the Zhang family sits in the imperial capital. Although he has retired, no one dares to lose face.

Lin Yizheng took the annual gift prepared by Zhang Qingguo, and rode a bicycle to the state-run restaurant to meet his younger brother Lin Yirong. The basket was full when he came, but the basket was still full when he returned. It can only be that everyone worked hard to maintain the relationship. , not blindly asking for it from the other party.

The Zhao family, Zhao Tao is the director of the supply and marketing cooperative, Zhou Guizhi also works in the supply and marketing cooperative, the two sons also have their own jobs, and the grandchildren of the family also go to school, so Lin Yirong first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Zhou Guizhi, and then sent the young Send the gift to Zhao's house together.

He didn't stay at Zhao's house for a long time, he just told Zhou Guizhi about Lin Qingxi's recent situation, and then left with some small clothes that Zhou Guizhi made for Lin Qingxi's baby.

After giving the New Year gifts, the two brothers met at the state-run restaurant and had lunch, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some firecrackers, and then rode their bicycles home.

During the two days between the 27th of the twelfth lunar month and the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, Mother Zhou took everyone except Lin Qingxi to clean the houses on both sides inside and out. The dust and cobwebs in the corners were cleaned up.

On the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Zhou Mingmin took his three children to help Zhou's father, and hung up the house next door with blessing characters and couplets. In the Lin family's house, brother Lin Yizheng brought Xiang Yikang stickers.

"Yizheng, Yirong, Yikang, be careful," Lin Qingxi said loudly while standing in the yard, holding her belly.

"Understood, sister-in-law, go and rest! Leave us alone," Lin Yizheng glanced at Lin Qingxi, disliking her for being in the way.

Lin Qingxi also knew that she was in a special situation, so she shook her head helplessly, and went into the main room to sit on the kang. After these few days of hard work, the sweater that Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu jointly knitted has been finished. After discussing, the two sisters gave the sweater they knitted for the first time to Mother Zhou. The reason was that Mother Zhou had worked hard to take care of the family's food and daily life, but Mother Zhou was very moved.
