I run a clinic in the United States

Chapter 141 Christmas and New Year
"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle bells, what a fun skiing tonight, we're on the sled..."

The long-awaited Christmas has finally arrived.

Elena and Ava are dressed in Santa Claus costumes and Santa hats. They are slender, with skin as good as snow, bright eyes, white teeth, and blond hair. They are like two beautiful elves busying around decorating. The entire clinic is decorated with Christmas decorations!
During Christmas and New Year, unless there is an emergency, basically no one will come to see a doctor or do health consultation.However, this clinic is also equivalent to their home, so it is still open.

It's just that Rachel, Murphy, Park Soo-joo and Park Yoon-ah have all gone home!

They also want to decorate their own little home!

Christmas is undoubtedly a very grand holiday in the United States.Basically, as soon as Thanksgiving is over, everyone begins to prepare and look forward to Christmas and New Year.

Even government departments will take one to two days off at this time!
The statutory holidays are the afternoon of December 12th and the whole day of December 24th.However, since Christmas is followed by New Year, these two holidays are always put together.

In folk terms, most people's holidays start on December 12 and end on January 22 of the new year.

If you add in annual leave, some people can even take a month off!

Iris Clinic also started opening on December 12nd.

Although the clinic is still open, there are no patients, so it's just like playing.

Zhou Qiao bought two fir trees, one big and one small.Well, it’s not fake, it’s a real European fir, a traditional Christmas tree that was just cut down and has a light natural fragrance!
The reason why fir is the most popular Christmas tree species is that, in addition to its pleasing color and smell, its leaves are not easy to fall off, even after being cut and dried.

The big one is three meters high and is fixed at the door of the clinic.The smaller one was placed in the living area on the third floor. It was privately used by Zhou Qiao to hang gifts for the twin girls!
At this moment, Elena and Ava each took a pole and hung all kinds of shiny decorations on it.

The plant at the door is a facade, and the gifts hanging are all cheap little things.The one on the third floor is small, but the hanging things are more expensive!
In addition, there are colored lights, which are colorful and festooned.

Every household is like this!

In the evening, the lights are turned on, which is gorgeous and bright, which makes people feel refreshed.

At the laundry shop next door, Ariel is also preparing. Although the laundry shop is also on holiday, there is no shortage of front-facing work!This is a sense of ritual, just like Spring Festival couplets and blessing characters must be pasted during the Chinese New Year!
In addition to Christmas trees and Christmas gifts, Zhou Qiao also took the twin sisters to buy a lot of food, beef, seafood, fruits, vegetables, snacks, chocolate, nuts, beverages, drinks... two large refrigerators in the living area on the third floor and a The large storage shelves are chock full!
As for the Big Apple, there are not many people here who buy this on Christmas Eve.Because the word "Ping" in "Christmas Eve" and "Apple" is a homonym in Chinese, it was speculated by merchants in China.Can it be regarded as "do as the Romans do" on Christmas Eve?Adapt measures to local conditions?

The clinic has received many greeting cards in the past few days. Most of them are sent by patients and family members. Some are sent. For example, Christie took Taylor and Felipe to New York for vacation together, so they sent it to Iris. Clinic email address.

After all, Christie was moved by Felipe's true feelings, and the two walked together, and it is estimated that they are about to talk about marriage!Zhou Qiao is really happy for them!

To say that the happiest is Taylor, who has been looking forward to his daughter-in-law for a long time, and now he has finally given up.I just don't know when I have to wait to hold my grandson and granddaughter.

Because Christie and Felipe are still on the fat side and have many minor ailments, they probably won't have a baby until they have completely corrected them.

Zhou Qiao also received a greeting card from Houston Mayor Kevin and his wife Tracy McKenna and Austin gourmet hot sauce, a specialty of Texas.

This hot sauce is made by mixing chili powder, oregano, red pepper, cumin, and horn pepper, and adding seasoning, with ground beef, tomato sauce, garlic, and other seasonings. big box.

Elena likes spicy food, so she opened a package and tasted it, and she enjoyed it repeatedly.

Kevin Nix is ​​no longer the mayor now, because he sold the town to Loya.

With the money, Kevin now bought a house in Houston and opened a coffee shop. His wife, Tracy, is a writer. She usually dresses up beautifully. She holds a laptop and writes novels in the corner of the coffee shop. The atmosphere group that acts as a cafe.

Some coffee shops also specially hire people to act as the atmosphere team. Kevin has a wife here, so the money will be saved!

The child is placed in the stroller next to him, and most of the time is quiet and gentle.It was really noisy, so I hugged and went outside for a walk.

The couple is living a good life now, and their daughter is gradually growing up. Now she weighs more than 7 pounds. After several examinations, the doctor said that her daughter is developing well.

Hearing their good news, Zhou Qiao was also very happy.Recalling the danger of the night of the hurricane, even Zhou Qiao still had lingering fears.

Most of the greeting cards were brought by nearby residents walking by, such as the Westin couple, Cathy and Danielle Jr., the Clark couple, the de la Torre couple, Isobel and others.

I have to say that as a doctor, Zhou Qiao is very happy to receive greeting cards from former patients on this kind of festival.

Zhou Qiao also prepared many small gifts in return.

He also sent gifts to Grandma Loya who was far away in Texas. As for Loya, her whereabouts were elusive and he sometimes couldn't contact her.

They also sent small gifts to Murphy and Ling Qingqing.

Ling Qingqing didn't go home, the vacation was too short after all, and her good friend Liu Wen hadn't fully recovered yet, so she had to stay at school to take care of her.

After receiving Zhou Qiao's gift, Ling Qingqing smiled like a flower, and called Zhou Qiao, and the two chatted a lot.

Ling Qingqing also sent two small gifts, but they were two buyao, not expensive, but quite unique, for Elena and Aiwa.

On Christmas Eve, Elena and Ava took Zhou Qiao to the church for mass, and watched the bright Christmas light show for a while along the way. At almost eight o'clock, they returned home, closed the door, and had Christmas dinner together!

Simple fried steak, fruit and vegetable salad and red wine.

It is worth mentioning that during this process, Elena and Ava changed into another set of Christmas outfits that use less materials, are very cool and economical!

The one she wore during the day, she was wrapped up tightly, and now this one... Zhou Qiao's eyes were bright and dizzy!

Although I have had many negative distance and in-depth exchanges with the twin girls, I still feel amazed and surprised!

Zhou Qiao thought that maybe Elena and Ava were better at creating atmosphere!
Waking up the next morning, the twin sisters came out and saw two pairs of pure white stockings hanging on the Christmas tree. They hurried over to open them and found a beautifully wrapped small box inside each.

Full of excitement, the twin beauties immediately exclaimed: "What a beautiful necklace!"

"Thank you, Joe, I love it!"

"I would also like!"

These two necklaces have exactly the same style. The twin girls once took a look at them when they were shopping. Each necklace costs about $[-]!

Zhou Qiao is so willing!
Just for this, they felt that following Zhou Qiao would be a good thing!This is a kind of heart.Although it is sometimes said that "gifts are less important than affection", but if "gifts are expensive", then affection must also be important!
The two hung on Zhou Qiao's body, one left and one right. Fortunately, Zhou Qiao's physical fitness has improved a lot, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hug him!
"Help me put it on!"

"Help me put it on too!"

Zhou Qiao was in a hurry.

The fly in the ointment is that it rarely snows in San Francisco, and there are only a handful of times in history.

Christmas without snow feels like something is missing.

Therefore, Elena and Ava suggested that everyone go skiing in Lake Tahoe and have a team building.

Zhou Qiao then called and invited Rachel, Murphy, Park Xiuzhu's mother and daughter, and Ariel from the laundry.Allow them to bring their families.

Calling Ariel along was mainly for safety reasons.

In addition, Ariel has been serving as the security messenger of the clinic for free, which is worth rewarding.

But Rachel said that the whole family was going to Florida to visit her aunt and her family, so she decided not to go.

Murphy said that her grandpa has been unwell recently and her mother has to stay to take care of her grandpa and grandma, so she can only come alone!
Originally, Murphy wanted to stay, but Murphy's mother felt that at such a young age, Murphy should go out to play more, which would also be good for his autism.

Murphy agreed.Deep down in her heart, she also wanted to go out with Zhou Qiao and the others.

As for Pu Xiuzhu's mother and daughter, orphans and widows, they are also bored at home. When they heard about skiing, Park Yuner jumped up and down with excitement, clamoring to come, and Park Xiuzhu naturally led her over.

In the last operation, Murphy performed very well and was protected by a cannula. Park Yuner's stomach, digestive tract and oral cavity were not damaged, but she felt a little nausea and poor appetite in the next few days. After these days of recuperation, she has long Lively.

Then after several psychological counseling sessions from Zhou Qiao, she basically came out of the shadow of eating hair!
But the root cause was that Park Xiuzhu relieved her academic pressure.

After this incident, Park Xiuzhu also wanted to understand that nothing is as important as her daughter's health!Getting ahead is also based on having a good physical condition!

In addition, Park Yoon-ah is just a girl. Many men can't make achievements and live a mediocre life. Why should we be so strict with a girl?

Park Soo-joo is the kind of parent who finally accepted her own mediocrity, but couldn't accept her daughter's mediocrity.

Ariel brought her little cousin, 15-year-old Billie.

This group building will last for two days, starting on the morning of December 12 and returning in the evening of December 26.Ai Wa drove a car with her sister, Murphy and Zhou Qiao; Park Xiuzhu drove a car with her daughter Park Yoona.

Ariel drove a black off-road vehicle, which belonged to the Violence Queen organization. It was modified with armor and bulletproof glass, which was quite stylish and cool. Her cousin Billie sat in the back seat.

There was a P90 on the front passenger seat, and a pistol was hidden in her waist. Ariel was not used to not carrying a gun.

Billie was very curious about guns, and Ariel told her not to move around. If possible, she hoped that Billie would never touch a gun for the rest of her life.

Although the P90 is a bit ugly, it has strong firepower, and Ariel is used to it. If you change the gun, it will affect your performance in battle.

Since it was initiated by Zhou Qiao for team building, Zhou Qiao said that board and lodging, fuel expenses, etc. can all be reimbursed!
Otherwise, it would be a bit of a loss for Park Xiuzhu to go so far to Lake Tahoe!Both herself and her daughter had surgery just now, which cost a lot of money. The orphans and widows need money everywhere, and the expenses are huge.

Pu Xiuzhu secretly gave Zhou Qiao a thumbs-up, thinking that this boss is just magnificent!Unlike the previous Korean boss, who was stingy!In my heart, I became more loyal to Zhou Qiao!

If possible, she hopes to stay here until retirement!
Of course, it would be even better if the clinic could grow, maybe, she would get some promotions!

Park Xiuzhu decided to perform well in the future and establish a good relationship with Zhou Qiao in advance, which is very important for future promotions!
