Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 253 Preparations before the winter solstice of Huamai
At this point, Village Chief Zhao turned the satchel around, and then took out a beautiful small box from it and said.

"After the old leader knew that you used a hunting knife for the last incision, he specially asked someone to find these guys for you. These things are all foreign products, and even the hospitals in big cities don't have many of them."

Although our country has long been able to produce medical devices such as scalpels in this era, due to a series of problems such as the quality of metals and process materials, domestically produced products have never been as easy to use as foreign ones.

Knowing that the sharpness of a scalpel is critical, the sharper the blade, the cleaner and more precise the cut, the faster the surgical wound heals, and of course the shape, balance, rigidity, overall reliability, and durability of the blade These are also important.

And in this special period, a set of foreign scalpels is definitely a dream for a doctor.

In the ensuing chat, Han Li didn't care whether Village Chief Zhao knew about Zhang Dagang's family, anyway, he vaguely told about Zhang Dagang's family's illness, and how his eldest son blackmailed the doctor in the county hospital.

Of course, when I was called to help Zhang Dagang see a doctor, I specially invited Captain Liang to accompany this matter. These words did not expressly say that I was afraid that Zhang Dagang's son would come and cause trouble, but the meaning was that I had, Han Li I believe Village Chief Zhao, an old fritter, will understand.

After hearing this, Village Chief Zhao raised his eyebrows twice in a row. He just came back last night and came to Han Li after dinner today, so he really doesn't know what happened in Zhang Dagang's house recently.

Whether it's Han Li's relationship with Director Liu of the Educated Youth Office, or the ointment he can make to relieve the pain of the old leader, he can't allow other people to find trouble and bark their teeth. He tapped the cigarette pouch in his hand and said.

"Han Li, what do you usually do? With me in Shanghe Village, these little bastards can't turn the sky. If you have time, you can make more of the ointment for relieving old wounds. If you don't have any medicinal materials, it's hard to find you. Just talk. .

That's it for today, I just came back and now I'm going to wander around Liang Ziqiang's house to see how that bastard from Zhang Dagang's house is jumping around. "

Han Li only believed half of Village Chief Zhao's words. Village sentiment and people's words are hard to say, and sometimes it's not something you can suppress if you want to.

And if Zhang Dagang's son is determined to extort money, then just like Captain Liang said, if he can help suppress it once, can he continue to help suppress it?
Talking and laughing, he sent Village Chief Zhao outside the street gate until the figure of the other party turned into another alley.

Han Li raised his head and looked at the flying snow all over the sky. Pieces of snowflakes fell on his face. The soft and cool feeling shook his spirit suddenly. He just wanted to open his arms to welcome these snowflakes and then shouted. , suddenly laughed at himself, turned around and went back to the bathroom, because this kind of behavior was not suitable for his mature and steady personality.

After returning to the clinic, Han Li carefully felt the set of scalpels. Unfortunately, he didn't know much about it, he could only feel its sharpness. Since then, Kabbah 1217 has officially withdrawn from the incision position.

The next step was to sterilize the scalpel. Han Li let the scalpel boil in the boiling water while he pondered over the prescriptions.

But just as Han Li put away the scalpel, Aunt Zhang from the village brought her daughter-in-law to find him.

"Han Zhiqing, are you busy now?"

"Not busy, Aunt Zhang, what is this?"

"Auntie wants you to help my daughter-in-law to see if she is pregnant. They have been married for three years, and there is no movement until this year. Although they are supposed to be pregnant if they don't come, I am a little uncertain in my heart. Take a good look at it so that I can feel at ease in my heart."

"Aunt Zhang, sit down first, and I'll feel the pulse for my sister-in-law right now."

Han Li asked Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law to sit opposite him, and put his hands on the table.

As soon as Han Li got started, he understood that the pulse condition showed a state of smooth flow and smoothness like pearls. This is a proper slippery and happy pulse.

However, for the sake of accuracy, Han Li switched to the Shangmai to confirm, then let go of his hands and said to Aunt Zhang with a smile.

"Congratulations to Aunt Zhang and congratulations to sister-in-law. If the pulse is correct, sister-in-law is definitely pregnant, and she is almost two months old."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other after hearing Han Li's words, their eyes were filled with surprise.

After all, being married for three years without getting pregnant has already caused many people in the village to gossip behind their backs and say a lot of nasty things, but now that the bitterness has finally come to an end, no one will dare to say that her daughter-in-law is a hen that does not lay eggs.

Aunt Zhang excitedly grabbed Han Li's hand and thanked him persistently, then asked another question.

"Educated Youth Han, can you tell if it's a man or a woman now?"

Although in medical books there is a way to distinguish male as yang, female as yin, left as yang and right as yin, that is to say, if a pregnant woman’s left pulse beats more steadily and powerfully than the right pulse, it means that she is more likely to conceive a boy, and vice versa , the possibility of conceiving a girl is high.

But this month is really too young. With Han Li's current level, he can't taste it for the time being. Even if he checks it with mental power, it will be a lump of flesh and blood, so Han Li shook his head and said.

"Aunt Zhang, this month is too young for me to taste it. It will be possible when the month is a little older. In fact, as long as my sister-in-law is pregnant, are you afraid that you will not have grandsons or granddaughters in the future?"

"Hahaha, that's true..."

Aunt Zhang stopped laughing halfway as if thinking of something, and then said to Han Li.

"Han Zhiqing, my daughter-in-law finally became pregnant. Everyone said that the first three months of pregnancy should not be disclosed, so my aunt would like to ask you to help keep it a secret."

"Aunt Zhang, don't you know me? I have the strictest mouth, so this matter is absolutely fine."

"Thank you Han Zhiqing, my aunt knows you are a good person, so is there anything else my daughter-in-law should pay attention to?"

Han Li thought for a while and said: "Sister-in-law's health is not bad, but the first few months are the most dangerous. Move less, work less and pay more attention to rest. The most important thing is that you can't have sex within the first three months."

Han Li didn't say anything about nutrition. Some things are not suitable for the older generation. They still gave birth to their children after eating bran and swallowing vegetables. It would be bad if they said too much.

The most important thing is that the conditions of each family are different. Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law only got pregnant after three years of marriage. Needless to say, if there is good food in the family, she will be provided for her to eat.

However, Aunt Zhang and daughter-in-law's face turned red after being told by a young man that they could not have intercourse.

Aunt Zhang insisted on leaving twenty cents for Han Li but he refused, and finally Aunt Zhang said as she was leaving.

"It's the winter solstice in two days, and then my aunt will bring you dumplings."

This is a human relationship, so Han Li smiled and agreed.

*
Since the winter solstice will be in two days, many families in Shanghe Village, as well as educated youths, are also thinking about what to eat on that day.

The winter solstice is a very important festival in the eyes of ordinary people. The winter solstice is one of the four seasons and eight festivals, and it is also an important solar term in the 24 solar terms. The saying has always been attached great importance to by the court and the people, and there have been sacrificial activities since the Zhou Dynasty.

The winter solstice is the longest day of night in a year. From that day onwards, it means that the weather will enter March [-], that is to say, it is time to start counting to nine.

On the day of the winter solstice, different places have different customs.

In the mountainous areas of southern Anhui and many places in the south of our country, the winter solstice is celebrated as a reunion festival, and it is also a day for them to worship their ancestors.

During the winter solstice in Sijiu City, they usually eat wontons or dumplings. This is a saying passed down by the older generation (Winter Solstice Wontons and Summer Solstice Noodles), because wontons have the meaning of reunion in it.

And dumplings have the meaning of (dispelling the cold), and there is a folk proverb that "don't serve dumpling bowls during the winter solstice, and no one cares about your ears if you freeze them". There are fewer and fewer people who come from this saying.

Then there is mutton hot pot, which is what people in Sijiu City call a pot.

Because the word for mutton is the same as the word for sun, there is a saying that eating mutton nourishes yang energy.

And on the days of counting nine, every "nine" has to support a pot to eat shabu-shabu,
In the past, the royal family and those who wore belts of various colors around their waists paid attention to the fact that the ingredients of the hot pot could not be repeated every time. There are also various pots such as pheasant pot and white meat pot.In addition, the selection of meat, the preparation of the bottom of the bowl (that is, the dipping material), the selection of the pot, the making of the soup base, and the procedure of cooking are all very particular.

Families with conditions now will try their best to get some mutton on the day of "counting nine", and if there is no mutton, they will have to get some mutton tail oil to make ends meet.

And what about families without conditions?Even if they don't have a copper pot or mutton, they still have to deal with the days of counting nines with some cabbage in a casserole.

Since the Northeast is the land of Longxing in the former dynasty, the customs between the two are also relatively close, and the weather here is relatively cold, and the dumplings have the meaning of (dispelling the cold), so most of them are here during the winter solstice. It's eating dumplings.

Southerners eat glutinous rice balls during the winter solstice. Hao Hongmin and Yang Xiuying have similar living habits, so they are planning to go to the villagers to exchange some glutinous rice noodles at this time.

The situation at He Mi's house was the same. At this moment, she and Qi Zhaodi were sitting on the kang reading a book while asking each other what to eat in the winter solstice in their hometown.

Although Qi Zhaodi has never eaten it, it does not prevent her from knowing the local customs.

She said that the qualified families in her hometown would eat mutton soup during the winter solstice, He Mi said with a smile after hearing this answer.

"Isn't that a coincidence? Our hometown eats noodles, dumplings, and stewed lamb during the winter solstice. There is also a saying that the winter solstice does not eat meat, and the toes are rotten from the cold. Now the two of us just ate together again. went."

When talking about this, He Mi thought of the mutton buried in the snow, lowered his head and played with the spike in his hand, with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.

While these well-off people are still discussing how to eat during the winter solstice, those educated youths with poor conditions dare not think so much. They are thinking about how to eat dumplings like the locals.

But this is all caused by "idleness". If they are asked to work in the fields at this time, they will not think about these things.

This year, when I was going to work in the field, Han Li, Hao Hongmin and others with good conditions, didn't they forget the Mid-Autumn Festival when they were busy.
