177. New Year’s greetings

"Mom, my son, go back to your room to rest! Just leave it to me and my father," said Zhou's father as he looked at Zhou's mother and said.

"Okay, then let it be left to you father and son. Mingmin Mother, go find Xiya to ask for two quilts. I'll add some firewood to the kang so that they won't be cold at night." Grandma Zhou didn't wait for her mother to speak,

Then he made a decision.

Zhou’s mother will do the work at home and abroad these days, so she will definitely not be allowed to follow her. Since the father and son are going to stay up to the New Year, let them stay up to the New Year! As long as the firewood in the kang is added, there will be another

If the quilt is there, they will not be cold.

After hearing Grandma Zhou's words, Zhou's mother agreed without thinking. She went to the room where Zhang Man lived before going to the backyard and carried two eight-pound quilts on the kang, and then put the children and Lin Qingxi's room.

The kang checked and added two thick firewood to it. The kang in the main hall had thick firewood, so she ignored it.

Zhou's mother and Grandma Zhou locked the yard, and used flashlights to help Grandma Zhou go back to the next door. When they returned to the next door, they went back to their room to rest.

On the morning of the first day of the Chinese New Year, just as dawn, Zhou's mother got up. She put on her clothes and went to the next door. She went to the main hall to see Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang. They were sleeping soundly under the quilts, and she went to the kang.

After adding some firewood, I went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

You should not touch a broom or kitchen knife on the first day of the Chinese New Year, so Zhou's mother first set the fire, then clean the pot, put half a pot of cold water into the pot, cover the pot and then ignore it.

On the coal stove, Zhou's mother changed into new coal balls, opened the hole below, poured the hot water from the copper pot into the basin, poured a pot of cold water again and put it on the coal stove to burn.

After washing up, Zhou's mother went to the snow pile to pick out the dumplings that had been wrapped yesterday afternoon, and went to the kitchen. The water in the pot was also boiling. She put all the dumplings into the pot and covered them to cook.

.

While cooking dumplings, Zhou Mu prepared dipping sauce and soup, and took it out after the dumplings were cooked, put them in a basin, and then put another basin of dumplings into the pot.

Perhaps because he smelled the fragrance of dumplings, Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang in the main hall woke up. After washing up, they sat down to eat dumplings.

Team Zhou Dajiang was eating dumplings, while Grandma Zhou and Zhou Mingmin also came from next door. They went to wash first before sitting down to eat dumplings.

"After breakfast, my father, go and order firecrackers, I'll call Xi Yatou up," Zhou's mother said, and put the last dumpling into her mouth and ate it.

"Okay, wait until Xi girl gets up and order it, otherwise I'm worried that she will be scared." Zhou's father just finished eating the dumplings. A pot of dumplings is the portion of four people. Compared with Zhou's father and Zhou Dajiang alone, you can eat them.

Forty, Zhou's mother and three female compatriots also had thirty dumplings.

Zhou's mother put down the bowls and chopsticks and called Lin Qingxi to get up. In fact, Lin Qingxi had woken up a long time ago, but it was too cold outside and didn't want to get out of bed, so she just stayed on the bed. Now that Zhou's mother came to call, she naturally got up.

It's right.

Put on thick clothes, Lin Qingxi folded the quilt and placed it on the end of the kang, got off the kang and put on his shoes and walked slowly towards the main hall.

Before Lin Qingxi could arrive at the main hall, she saw Zhou's mother coming with her toiletries. She turned to the yard to wash. After washing, she went into the main hall to eat dumplings. As soon as she sat down, Zhou's mother took her.

A bowl of dumplings is here.

"Mom, I can't eat so much, can you eat some more?" Lin Qingxi 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.

"Okay, this is your father's bowl. If you don't finish it, you can put it in his bowl." Zhou's mother was also a person who gave birth to a child, so she naturally knew that pregnant women had a small appetite and had to eat less and eat more meals.

Lin Qingxi nodded and put more than ten dumplings into Zhou's father's bowl. Only a dozen of them were left in her bowl. She slowly finished eating the dumplings, and the children at home also got up one after another.

Just as the third pot of Zhou Mu's dumplings were cooked, the second pot of the dumplings were heated again.

The seven children happened to sit on the kang and eat one bowl on the kang. Lin Qingxi and Zhou's mother sat next to them and share the things to pay New Year's greetings later, each family had two bottles of wine and two packs of cigarettes, and then cut a few kilograms of mutton.

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

"Okay, we'll go after dinner," It's around 8 o'clock in the morning, and it's still a little early to go to pay New Year's greetings, so we have to go to pay New Year's greetings until almost nine o'clock.

"You can do it yourself," Lin Qingxi said, taking out the snacks and biscuits from the cabinet, sorting them into a plate, and put them on the kang table.

After the children finished eating the dumplings, Zhou's mother, Xie Lu and Xiang Yijing packed up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash them with hot water. Zhou's mother used a coal stove to burn three or four copper pots and put them in.

Four kettles.

"Jingjing, Lulu, you don't have to do the work of taking a bath. You can take this kettle to the main hall! When someone comes to pay New Year's greetings, you will be responsible for pouring water." Zhou's mother looked at her two well-behaved and sensible eyes.

There is a living girl in her heart, full of love.

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

Not long after, Lin Yizheng and the five brothers went 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 pay New Year's greetings together.

Seeing the four people coming, Xiang Yijing and Xie Lu consciously poured sugar water for them. According to convention, Lin Qingxi inspected the homework of the four apprentices and focused on asking if Zhou Mingren had passed the medical certificate.

"I've finished the exam. I got the medical internship certificate a few days ago. I will wait until I have been internship for one year before I can get a regular exam," Zhou Mingren said excitedly. Although I still need to get a regular exam, he is now a doctor.

I have the qualification to see a doctor alone.

"Just get it. Be more serious in normal times. I hope your grandpa can remind you of this matter. You can't be careless when you see a doctor, otherwise you will eventually harm others and yourself," Lin Qingxi said seriously. For the four apprentices, she still

A lot of hard work has been put into place.

"Yes, teacher, we remember," the four of them saw Lin Qingxi's serious expression, so they naturally did not dare to take it lightly. Although they were not smart enough, they were willing to work hard.

"Jiyuan wants to go to gynecology. What about Jihong and Jixi? Have you figured out what you will do in the future?" Lin Qingxi said and put her eyes on Zhou Jixi and Zhou Jihong. They have never had any sense of existence, but

Lin Qingxi treats everyone equally.

"I want to learn anything," Zhou Jixi thought for a while. He didn't seem to be particularly interested in one, so he thought he might as well learn something. He didn't want to become an all-rounder, but it's also good to know something.

of.

"So too, I understand everything I want," Zhou Jihong thought for a while. Everything she did was arranged by her family, and she really had never thought about what she would do in the future.
