Reborn to be a country doctor

Chapter 85. 85. New Year's Eve

By the time Zhou Daye finished eating at that table, it was already very late. Fortunately, Lin Qingxi asked Lin Yizheng and his brothers to use a flashlight to send Zhou Jin and his family members home. I ran again to send people back.

In the evening, Zhou Daye and the others did not let them go when they returned home. Instead, they took a flashlight from Lin Qingxi and went home by themselves. Although everyone had drunk too much, they were not drunk, and Lin Qingxi was very relieved to let everyone go home.

After sending Zhou Daye and the others away, Xu Ling took Xiang Yijing and began to clean up the dishes. She didn't let Lin Qingxi touch her, and she didn't force her. She boiled hot water to wash her face and feet, and then set the kang where everyone was sleeping on fire. After adding enough firewood, I went back to the house to sleep.

Xiang Yijing still slept in the same room with her, and Lin Yizheng and the three brothers still slept together. Zhou Mingyi stayed and slept with Zhang Man's mother and son. He drank a glass of wine at the beginning, and stopped drinking after that, so Lin Qingxi Didn't say anything either.

Xu Ling took Xiang Yijing to pack up the dishes, and everyone went back to their houses to rest. The weather is too cold, so everyone should go back to the warm kang bed as soon as possible!
The next day, Lin Qingxi woke up at dawn. Although it is a new year and a new day, but it is not allowed to hang Spring Festival couplets, post blessings, or set off firecrackers, so there is no sense of the year, only when visiting relatives Only then will I feel the atmosphere of the New Year.

Lin Qingxi came out of the room lightly. She first went to heat up the cauldron, then washed the pan and poured water. After boiling the whole pot of hot water in the cauldron, she went to heat the kang in the main room, and then started wash up.

After she finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, she took out the chicken pieces that she had cut last night from the kitchen and washed them, then put them directly into the earthenware pot and filled them with water, then put down the stove and started to stew the chicken soup. This was for Zhang Man .

Then, Lin Qingxi went to the snowdrift in the yard and pulled out fifty meat buns, found out the steamer, put the buns in the steamer, and steamed the steamer in the back pot.

Soon, the water in the big iron pot boiled. Lin Qingxi took all four thermos pots at home, filled two thermos pots with hot water, put half a piece of brown sugar in one thermos pot, and then Put hot water in.

After filling the three thermos pots, there was still half a pot of hot water left in the pot. Lin Qingxi patted three pieces of ginger and threw them into the pot to boil on high heat. The water heater was taken to the main room.

After the ginger water in the cauldron boiled, he poured the pot of brown sugar water into the pot and continued to cook for 2 minutes, then poured it into two thermos pots. After the thermos pots were full, there was still a part left. Lin Qingxi directly used the soup The bowl came out.

She took the thermos to the main room and left the water in the four thermos for those who came to pay New Year's greetings. After putting down the thermos, she went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

She put the sweet potatoes and polished rice that had been chopped yesterday into the pot. The pot had been brushed again, and the smell of brown sugar and ginger was gone. After the rice and sweet potatoes were put into the pot, half of the pot of water was added. Add firewood and cook sweet potato porridge over high heat.

On the Zhou family's side, on the first day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, no knife or sanitation is allowed, otherwise the year will not be smooth. Lin Qingxi has been here for a few years, and has been following the custom in the countryside.

When cooking the sweet potato porridge, Lin Qingxi lifted the lid of the pot twice and stirred it halfway through. After more than 30 minutes of training on high fire, the sweet potatoes and rice were cooked, and then they were stuffy for another ten minutes before they were put into the wooden basin.

She re-boiled a pot of hot water for others to wash up after coming over. The hot water had just come on when Xu Ling and Lin Qingping came over, and the others also got up one after another. Lin Qingxi was sitting in the main room While eating meat buns, while waiting for the sweet potato porridge to cool.

Because she didn't know when everyone would wake up, Lin Qingxi only brought out two meat buns that she ate, and the other meat buns were still steaming in the drawer.

"Brother, the buns are steamed in the drawer of the back pot, you can just take them out and eat them, I have brought the bowls and chopsticks to the main room," Lin Qingxi said loudly while eating, rushing to Lin Qingping who was washing his face in cold water by the well.

"Understood," Lin Qingping replied without raising his head. After washing his face, he went to the kitchen to bring the buns to the kitchen for breakfast.

There are seven people in the Lin family. The three big and the four young ones just sat down at the same table. Everyone chatted while eating. After Lin Qingxi finished eating, she went to take out the candies and biscuits from the cabinet at the end of the kang, put them in a wooden box and put them on the kang. I will give it to people who come to my house to pay New Year's greetings.

Lin Qingxi, as a doctor in the village, is highly valued by the villagers. Children from every household will come to the house on the first day to wish her a new year, let alone her four apprentices.

"There are only a few families that our family has made friends with in the village. Later, Yizheng and Yirong will take their eldest brother to pay New Year's greetings. Yijing and Yikang will stay at home to greet the children who come to our house for New Year's greetings. My sister-in-law and I are preparing lunch in the kitchen. Did I tell you? I have taken in four apprentices, they will come to pay my New Year greetings every year, and they will have dinner together at home at noon."

Lin Qingxi took out snacks and put them on the kang while talking, and then went to the kitchen to add some firewood to the stove.

Lin Qingping and the others took the task, and they knew what they were doing. After dinner, he took his two sons out to greet other people. Xu Ling took Yijing to the kitchen to clean the dishes, and Yikang went quietly. He took out the toys in his room, and he planned to play with his friends when they came to the house for New Year's greetings.

Not long after, four of Lin Qingxi's direct disciples came to pay New Year's greetings one after another. Zhou Mingren arrived first, followed by Zhou Jiyuan and Zhou Jihong, and Zhou Jixi arrived last. All four of them came with tuition fees. Lin Qingxi was not polite. Put the things away in the corner of the main room.

"Sit down and have a chat first, Yikang, go to the kitchen and ask your sister-in-law to cook a bowl of brown sugar water and eggs for each of your brothers and sisters." Lin Qingxi directly ordered Xiang Yikang to do something, and she got on the kang and sat down.

"Teacher, there's a lot I don't understand and I want to ask you," Zhou Mingren waited for Lin Qingxi to sit down and asked impatiently, his face also full of anxiety.

"Well, you can ask!" Lin Qingxi nodded. Every year, as long as the first or fourth disciples returned home, they would come to her to ask questions.

Next, in the main room, either Zhou Mingren and the others asked Lin Qingxi questions, or Lin Qingxi explained to the four apprentices. Xu Ling and the others were very winking and did not come to the main room to disturb them. Without taking a step closer to the main room, Xu Ling held Yijing and her siblings to help her prepare lunch.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Unlike the daze when they came here, the four of Zhou Mingren were all clear-headed. Under Lin Qingxi's explanation, she now understands you clearly about many questions that she usually doesn't understand.
