Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 177 177. New Year Greetings
"Mother, the child's mother, you go back to your room to rest! Just leave it to me and Dad to watch the new year," Zhou's father said while looking at Zhou's mother stuttering.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you father and son, Ming Minniang, go to Miss Xi and ask for two quilts, I'll add some firewood to the kang, so that they don't get cold at night," Grandma Zhou didn't wait for Zhou's mother to speak. Just made a decision.

Zhou's mother will do all the work at home and out of the house these days, and she must not be allowed to watch the year. Since the father and son want to watch the year, let them watch it!As long as there is enough firewood in the kang and there are quilts, they will not be cold.

After hearing Grandma Zhou's words, Zhou's mother agreed without even thinking about it. She went to the room where Zhang Man lived in the backyard before she carried two quilts weighing eight catties and put them on the kang, and put the children and Lin Qingxi's room together. The kang checked and added two sticks of firewood to it. The kang in the main room had already been filled with firewood, so she didn't care about it.

Zhou's mother and Zhou's grandmother locked the yard, and with a flashlight, they helped Zhou's grandmother back to the next door, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Mother Zhou got up just after dawn. She got dressed and went to the next door. First, she went to the main room to see Father Zhou and Zhou Dajiang. After adding some firewood, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

You are not allowed to touch brooms and kitchen knives on the first day of the new year, so Zhou's mother put the fire on the fire first, then cleaned the pot, poured half a pot of cold water into the pot, covered the pot and left it alone.

On the side of the coal stove, Zhou's mother replaced it with new briquettes, opened the lower hole, poured the hot water from the copper pot into the basin, and poured another pot of cold water on the coal stove to burn.

After Zhou's mother washed up, she went to the snowdrift to take out the dumplings made yesterday afternoon, and then went to the kitchen. Just as the water in the pot was boiling, she put all the dumplings into the pot, covered the pot and boiled them .

Taking advantage of the cooking time of the dumplings, Zhou's mother adjusted the dipping materials and soup, took out the dumplings when they were cooked, put them in a pot, and then put another pot of dumplings into the pot.

Xu Shi smelled the aroma of dumplings, and Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang woke up in the main room. After washing up, they sat down to eat dumplings.

Team Zhou Zhou Dajiang was eating dumplings, Grandma Zhou and Zhou Mingmin also came from next door, they went to wash up first, and then sat down to eat dumplings.

"After breakfast, son's father, you go and light the firecrackers, and I'll wake up girl Xi," Zhou's mother said, putting the last dumpling in her mouth and eating it.

"Okay, wait until girl Xi wakes up before ordering, otherwise I'm worried she'll be scared," Father Zhou just finished eating the dumplings, and a pot of dumplings is enough for four people, compared to Father Zhou and Zhou Dajiang, who can eat alone Forty dumplings, Zhou's mother and other three female compatriots are also [-] dumplings.

Mother Zhou put down the bowls and chopsticks and went to wake Lin Qingxi up. In fact, Lin Qingxi woke up a long time ago, but it was too cold outside, and she didn't want to get out of bed, so she just lay on the bed. Now that Mother Zhou came to wake her up, she naturally woke up up.

Putting on thick clothes, Lin Qingxi folded the quilt and put it at the end of the kang, got off the kang, put on her shoes and walked slowly towards the main room.

Before Lin Qingxi reached the main room, she saw Zhou's mother coming over with her toiletries, so she turned to wash in the yard, and went into the main room to eat dumplings after washing. As soon as she sat down, Zhou's mother brought A bowl of dumplings came over.

"Mom, I can't eat so much, why don't you eat more?" Lin Qingxi roughly estimated that there should be thirty dumplings in the bowl. Even if she is not pregnant, she can only eat about fifteen dumplings at most.

"That's fine, this is your father's bowl. If you don't finish it, you can put it in his bowl." Zhou's mother is also a person who has given birth. Naturally, she also knows that pregnant women have small appetites and need to eat less and more meals.

Lin Qingxi nodded, and put more than a dozen dumplings in Zhou's father's bowl, leaving only a dozen in her own bowl. She finished eating the dumplings slowly, and the children in the family also got up one after another. It just so happened that Mother Zhou's third pot of dumplings was cooked, and the dumplings cooked in the second pot were also reheated.

The seven children just sat on the kang with a bowl and started to eat. Lin Qingxi and Zhou's mother sat next to each other to share the things for New Year's greetings, two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes for each family, and then just cut a few catties of mutton.

"Yizheng, Yirong, the things inside are for you to pay New Year's greetings later," Lin Qingxi said loudly as she looked at Lin Yizheng and Lin Yirong after she put the things in the basket.

"Okay, let's go after eating and resting." It's about eight o'clock in the morning, and it's a bit early to go to New Year's greetings, and it must be nearly nine o'clock before going to New Year's greetings.

"You can figure it out for yourself," Lin Qingxi said, and took out the snacks and biscuits from the cabinet, sorted them into plates, and placed them on the kang table.

After the children finished eating the dumplings, Mother Zhou, Xie Lu, and Xiang Yijing packed up the bowls and chopsticks and took them to the kitchen to wash them with hot water. Earlier, Mother Zhou used a coal stove to burn three or four copper pots and put them in into four kettles.

"Quiet, Lulu, you two don't need to do the bathing. You can take this kettle to the main room! When someone comes to visit for New Year's greetings, you will be responsible for pouring the water," Mother Zhou looked at the two well-behaved and sensible eyes. There are live girls in it, and their hearts are full of love.

"Okay," the two of them agreed in unison, and then went to the main room with the kettle, took ten small bowls, and poured them on the kang cabinet.

It didn't take long for the five brothers Lin Yizheng to go out to pay New Year's greetings with baskets on their backs. Not long after they left, Zhou Mingren, Zhou Jiyuan, Zhou Jihong, and Zhou Jixi came to visit for New Year's greetings together.

Seeing the four people coming, Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu consciously poured sugar water for them. According to the usual practice, Lin Qingxi inspected the homework of the four apprentices, and mainly asked whether Zhou Mingren's medical certificate had been passed.

"After passing the exam, I just got the medical practice certificate a few days ago, and I will take the exam again to become a full-time doctor after one year of internship," Zhou Mingren said with a little excitement. Although he still needs to re-take the exam to become a full-time doctor, he is now a doctor Yes, I have the qualification to see a doctor alone.

"It's good if you get it, and be serious at ordinary times. I hope your grandfather can remind you about this matter. You can't be careless in seeing a doctor, or you will end up harming others and yourself," Lin Qingxi said seriously. Regarding the four apprentices, she still A lot of heart and soul have been poured into it.

"Yes, teacher, we have remembered." Seeing Lin Qingxi's serious expression, the four of them naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Although they are not smart enough, they are willing to work hard.

"Jiyuan wants to take the field of gynecology. What about Jihong and Jixi? Have you thought about what to do in the future?" After Lin Qingxi finished speaking, she set her sights on Zhou Jixi and Zhou Jihong. Lin Qingxi treats everyone equally.

"I want to learn a little bit about everything," Zhou Jixi thought for a while. He didn't seem to be particularly interested in anything, so he thought about learning a little bit of everything. He didn't want to become an all-rounder, but it was good to know a little bit of everything. of.

"Me too, I also want to understand everything," Zhou Jihong thought for a while, everything she did was arranged at home, and she really didn't think about what she would do in the future.
