Reborn as a rural doctor

Chapter 176

In the past two days, the two sisters have been knitting some small things, such as gloves and socks, which are easy to knit. The two of them can knit a pair of socks or gloves in a day. It was given to Zhou Dajiang and his wife.

After posting the couplets and blessing characters, there is basically nothing to do, just wait for New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve dinner and New Year's Eve.

However, none of this had much to do with Lin Qingxi. She was deprived of all actions because of her pregnancy, so she could only sit on the kang and wait to eat while watching other people busy around.

On New Year's Eve, Mother Zhou took Zhou Mingmin to the kitchen to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner after breakfast, and refused to let anyone else go in to help.

Zhou's father saw that there was not much firewood at home, so he took Lin Yizheng and other five boys out to collect firewood, while Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu stayed at home to chat with Zhou and his wife.

In the main room, Lin Qingxi looked at Zhou Dajiang and his wife wearing brand new winter clothes with a smile. During this time, they ate better at Zhou's house, their faces became more fleshy, and they became more energetic. The way it was before.

"Grandma, grandma, these clothes are for wearing after they are made. Put the old things away first. When I buy cotton next year, I will add some cotton to the old winter clothes before wearing them. Now they are a little thinner."

Lin Qingxi wanted them to take off the old winter clothes before, but the new winter clothes hadn't been made yet, and she couldn't find an excuse to take out the cotton in the space, so she had to add a sweater in the middle to deal with it first, anyway, it was cold Not going out for a walk.

"Okay, thanks to your juniors, your grandma and I haven't made new clothes for a long time," said Lin Qingxi. If they are willing to make new winter clothes for the two old ones, they will be particularly moved.

"Yes!" Touching the warm cotton coat on her body, Grandma Zhou was overjoyed. It is not bad to enjoy the blessing of her son, but the blessing of her granddaughter-in-law instead.

"Don't praise me, grandpa, grandma, I'm due to give birth in a few months. Generally, twins will be born one month earlier, and triplets are likely to be born two months earlier. Monthly students may come early in March, so don’t go back to your uncle’s house, just stay for a long time, three children, we’re afraid we won’t be able to see them by then, and we’ll have to trouble you two elders to take care of the children!”

Lin Qingxi thought about it for a long time, and at that time, she would use the excuse that the triplets need to be taken care of, and stay with Zhou Dajiang and his wife for a long time. This would not only reduce the burden on Zhou Guitang's family, but also allow Zhou Dajiang and Grandma Zhou to eat better at home. , nourish the body.

The life of Zhou Dajiang and his wife in the eldest son Zhou Guitang's house is not to say that it is difficult, but the conditions of Zhou Guitang's family are there. The eldest son Zhou Mingfa has two sons. The older one is married and has one son. Yes, I haven't married yet, and I'm seeing someone recently.

Although Zhou Dajiang and his wife don’t need to go to the fields to earn work points, they still have to do housework at home. Zhou Dajiang is responsible for the firewood at home. If there is no firewood, Zhou Dajiang is responsible for cooking and cleaning.

"Okay, let's talk about it later," Zhou Dajiang has lived for decades. Although the child cannot be brought here is also a reason, but he knows that the biggest reason is that the youngest son's family is subsidizing their two old and eldest sons in disguise. family.

"Okay, after the new year, I'll ask dad to pack some clothes for you to stay here. You don't need to bring bedding or anything. If you have clothes at home, I'm afraid I won't make new ones for you, so forget it. "Lin Qingxi said with a smile, her eyes full of cunning.

Not long after, the smell of meat came from the kitchen. Lin Qingxi knew that this would be deep-fried pork. This is a must-eat dish for New Year's Eve and Chinese New Year. delicious.

"Look at this day, it might snow again in the afternoon, girl Xi, you don't want to follow the New Year's greetings these few days, just let it go." Zhou Dajiang looked up out of the window, the cold wind was blowing, The echo is loud and loud, which is definitely not normal.

"Don't tell me I think the same way. It's too cold outside. I'm so big that I can't see my feet. I definitely won't go to pay New Year's greetings," Lin Qingxi agreed without thinking.

During the chat, it was lunch time. Zhou's mother concentrated on preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, so she took care of it casually, but it was better than other people's meals.

After eating, as expected, as Zhou Dajiang said, it began to snow heavily outside, Zhou's father and the others were forced to stay at home, and within two hours, the ground was covered with snow.

The main room is very warm, the kang is fully heated, and there is a wall of fire, the temperature in the room is still very high. Everyone sits on the kang, and Zhou's mother brings over ten catties of cornmeal that was distributed in the morning for everyone to make dumplings. It's a happy new year There are dumplings to eat in the morning of the first day of the new year.

Eating dumplings is a very serious matter. Mother Zhou prepared three kinds of fillings, namely sauerkraut pork belly filling, egg and leek filling, shrimp paste filling and three delicacies filling. I touched it.

At the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Zhou's mother was too lazy to bother, and directly placed the food on the kang, and set up a table on the kang. Because of the snow, Lin Qingxi didn't call the old Zhou's people over for dinner.

"Tomorrow is a new year and a new day. Children must work hard in their studies, and we adults will also work hard to earn work points, so that we can have enough food every day and often eat meat." This time, Zhou's father did not speak by himself, but Let Zhou Dajiang, the head of the family, speak.

Zhou Dajiang also simply said a few words, picked a piece of braised meat for his wife, and everyone started to eat with their chopsticks. There were fish and meat on the table, and everyone was very satisfied.

"Father, Lord, there is wine in the cupboard, do you want to have a sip?" Lin Qingxi looked at the food on the table, saw that Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang were a little depressed, and knew that they were addicted to alcohol, and then said with a smile .

"Father, let's open a bottle and drink something?" Father Zhou said, looking up at Zhou Dajiang, seeing him nodding slightly, he immediately walked over and took a bottle of Wuliangye from the cabinet.

Opening the bottle cap, Zhou's father didn't bother to get the cup, he just poured the wine into a bowl. It happened that one bottle of wine was worth two bowls. Because the staple food at night was steamed stuffed buns, the bowls for dinner were small bowls. Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang each had a bowl of wine, and the father and son would clink glasses and sip the wine from time to time, enjoying themselves very much.

The others didn't care about them, they were drinking at home anyway, so it didn't matter if they got drunk, so they let them go, and each of them ate very vigorously.

After eating, Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang were a little drunk, but they were still sober. Zhou's mother and Zhou Mingmin cleaned up the dishes, and everyone sat on the kang for a while, and took turns washing up. Lin Qingxi and the children They went back to their rooms to rest, leaving Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and Zhou Dajiang and his wife sitting on the kang to watch the new year.
