33. Start fresh water
In the evening in the village of Liwa, the sky is full of colorful clouds. In the green fields, there are still some farmers working in twos and threes.
"Xiaoqing, just came back from seeing a doctor in the county seat?" There were constantly pedestrians greeting Tang Qing along the way.
Tang Qing nodded at everyone and walked to the health center. She now works as an assistant behind Dr. Qin, and she eats and lives in the health center. It's rare to have time on the weekend, and I will go back to the county to see Tang's father and Tang's mother. Occasionally, someone asked her to go to the county seat for a doctor, and she also went and returned on the same day, and she was not in the county seat for a quarter of an hour.
"If only my girl could be so sensible with Xiaoqing?"
"Auntie, a sixteen-year-old little miracle doctor, how can every family be able to do it?"
"This is also true, I don't know what Xiaoqing's parents think, such a well-behaved child also ruthlessly left her alone in the village, and a large group of unrelated people fell in the county seat of Liangtang. ”
"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there is no parent who does not love their children. Xiaoqing, this girl, is too independent. ”
Tang Qing walked out of the distance and vaguely heard the voices of them talking, and he was helpless in his heart: what kind of miracle doctor is, at most, it can cure some ordinary diseases. Even if I was invited to go to the doctor, most of them were just for the sake of the master's face, and I was invited to see what was wrong with my daughter's family.
Since three years ago, after Tang Qingtong's test of Dr. Qin, he can finally change his name to Master, and he has been shouting some nondescript titles, what Doctor Qin, Master Qin has provoked Dr. Qin to blow his nose and stare at every time.
When Tang Qing first moved into the health center, there was nothing but a desk and a wooden bed. Tang Qing didn't dare to tell Tang's father and Tang's mother, for fear that they wouldn't let themselves move to the countryside alone as soon as they saw the environment. Fortunately, Qi Anren is careful and has taken all aspects into account. It has been refurbished, and although it is not as luxurious as in a state-run hotel, the house is at least comfortable to live in.
Tang Qing also planted a variety of vegetables in the courtyard of the health center, and usually cooked with the ingredients in the space. There are always people in the village who come to deliver food, and in these years, who doesn't want to have a good relationship with the doctor, not to mention that in Liwa Village, the strange disease has not stopped.
Back in the office, there was no one in the courtyard room and office quietly.
Dr. Chin has probably gone fishing in the river again.
The village clinic is next to a river. Just a few steps away, you can walk to the river. The river is not very wide, and children often pick up stones to go for rafting. The most powerful one, with a light shot, hit more than 20 stones, and the stones floated past the water, and sometimes even jumped to the opposite shore. There are some passages of the river that are clear to the bottom, and if you don't look closely, you will always feel that the water is not flowing. Most of the people in the village drink water from the well, and most of them look down on the water that does not flow, and few people draw water from this river.
However, there are a lot of fish in the river, and people often come here to fish and fight tooth sacrifices.
I picked some vegetables from the yard, but I haven't seen Dr. Qin come back. Tang Qing packed up a fish bucket and went to the river to find him.
Dr. Qin sat on a small bamboo chair by the river, and next to him sat the old man of the Qi family.
A few years ago, the Qi family also moved to Liwa Village. To the outside, it was said that Old Man Qi was not in good health, and he had to cultivate. It happened that the coal mine was discovered in the village at that time, and the Qi family reported to the above that they would take the initiative to go to the countryside to work and help the construction of the coal mine. Even if he has been retained many times, Old Man Qi is also determined to retire with his son and grandson, and his attitude is resolute.
When Tang Qing arrived, the two big people were arguing.
"Old man Qin, do you know how to fish, what's the matter with this fishing line always falling to me, all the fish here are scared away by you. ”
"I don't know how to fish yet, old ghost Qi, look at it, it's almost an afternoon, and you don't have a single one in this tube. I've almost caught a dozen or so fish. Who doesn't know how to fish, it's not obvious. ”
"You're not proud there, it's not you who make trouble, I can't catch a single one? When our eldest son comes back, I have to sue him, and bring wine to people like you, dream about you. ”
"It's not up to you to take it or not, you have your good son, and I have my good apprentice. ”
Tang Qing, who approached, couldn't cry or laugh.
Old Man Qi didn't catch a fish, so he sat angrily and refused to get up and go home. Doctor Qin was also uneasy, he wanted to see his jokes, and the two of them just sat like this, waiting for Old Man Qi to catch the first fish of the day.
Tang Qing had no choice, so he took out a small black charcoal stove, a small iron pot, and a porcelain box from the house. Pick out a crucian carp from Dr. Qin's bucket, scrape the scales to wash the internal organs and other dirty things, put it into the water pot, and then turn out the green onion and ginger from the porcelain box and sprinkle it into the pot one by one. This set of equipment is always prepared in the kitchen, and when the two old naughty boys are lying by the river and refuse to go back, Tang Qing will take out this unique skill, ensuring that he can turn the conflict into a jade silk, so that the two of them only care about the pot and no longer care about quarrels and quarrels.
After a while, the fish is cooked, and this kind of fish that is cooked as soon as it is caught is so delicious that some people call it "Qishui Xian". Tang Qing felt that this description was very appropriate.
"Qing girl, your fish is really burned, and I don't see what special seasonings you add to it, you can cook it with such a delicious taste. Old man Qin, count you as a blessing. "Old Man Qi is no longer reconciled, and he also envy Dr. Qin's apprentice for finding it well. Well-behaved and obedient, he will also cook good dishes. The most important thing is to be able to follow you all the time. It's like a conscienceless little son in his own family, who can't see a figure all year round. Come back with something every other day, what is the use, who still cares about which food is not used. It's really unconscionable.
"Grandpa Qi, Brother Qi is also very filial, every time he writes to me, he asks me to take good care of you, he is also busy. Tang Qing couldn't help but speak for Qi An.
Since he knew that Tang's father was the sworn brother of Old Man Qi, Qi An asked Tang Qing and Tang Pei to call him eldest brother. After all, Qi An's age is not too old, Tang Qing and Tang Pei suddenly changed their words, and there is no psychological barrier. It's a pity for Qi Yu, he is a generation lower, if you really have to be strictly calculated, Tang Qing can be regarded as a person of his aunt's generation.
As for how Dad Tang became the righteous brother of Old Man Qi, it can only be said that both of them are temperamental. Dad Tang is the most righteous person, and he accidentally saved Old Man Qi, and he never thought of asking for anything in return. Old Man Qi looked at Dad Tang, and he was also pleasing to the eye, and he came and went, so it was better to become brothers.
If it weren't for Tang's father who was discharged from the army early and wanted to go back to Xiaoao Village, where his adoptive father lived, the two families would not have seen each other for more than ten years.
Now it's still close, the Tang family lives in Wanxin County, and the Qi family has moved into Liwa Village. From time to time, we can also have a meal together and chat.
"Busy, busy, busy, no one is idle. Your dad has a job on his body and has to live in the county to work. Xiao An, a person who has no errands, can't be home all day long, and he doesn't know what to do. Old Man Qi remembered that Qi An was on fire again.
Tang Qing covered his mouth and chuckled, sure enough, Brother Qi guessed correctly again. When you write a letter back, you must sue him.
Dr. Qin is not picky, but there is one thing, he must eat scoop vegetables every night. He is particularly obsessed with this cabbage. At that time, Tang Qing was just about to open a vegetable garden in the yard, and he asked the people in the village to look for seeds of this vegetable everywhere. Whenever a guest came to the house for dinner, he asked Tang Qing to cook this dish. said that in this way, he could let others see his indifferent to fame and fortune. It also made Tang Qing cry and laugh.
Life in the village is not bitter to say that it is not bitter. It's just that there is no charge for medical treatment at the health center. There are no tickets or anything. If you really want to be self-sufficient, you can barely eat enough to eat only the vegetables in the yard, and in addition, Tang Qing also raised a few chickens in the yard, and she asked the kittens to help feed them when she went to the clinic. You can also save some eggs to supplement your nutrition in a few days.
"Xiaoqing, are you at home?" I heard Brother Gou's voice from afar.
"Yes, I'm in the kitchen. Xiaoqing replied, wiped the water droplets on her hands, and looked outside.
The dog found the kitchen with a pheasant in his hand.
"Well, I caught it on the mountain today, and I brought it to you and Doctor Qin to replenish your body. As he spoke, he bent down to pluck the feathers from the pheasant.
"It's up the mountain again, alas, you should also pay attention to safety, in case you really encounter something that you can't beat, phew, phew. Look at my crow's mouth. However, it is still necessary to pay attention. By the way, don't send anything to us, you still have a big family to eat there. Tang Qing instructed.
"Got it. It's just that I grabbed a lot of it before I sent it. The boxing techniques you taught us before are really powerful, and our group of people go up the mountain to catch some small prey without much effort. Everyone now has meat to eat every three or five days, and their lives are better than before. The dog said with a smile on his face.
After slaughtering the chickens and shedding the pheasants, the dogs got up and left.
"Why don't you stop by and have a meal before leaving?" Tang Qing asked.
"No, the kittens are cooking at home, go back and eat. The dog didn't look back, and walked straight away.
In the afternoon, I made a "fresh water" to feed Dr. Qin's hunger, and in the evening, it is better to make "steam-pot chicken", and the nutrients will not be lost, and the taste is still original.
Tang Qing "brushed" the chicken into cubes, threw it into the pot, washed and squeezed dry, and then put it into the steamer. No water is put in the steam pot, only the chicken pieces are spread with green onion and ginger, and an appropriate amount of chicken fat. Bring a pot of water to a boil and place the steamer on top of the kettle.
Tang Qing was busy checking the soup in the steam pot while carefully washing the scoop vegetables he picked up.
"Xiaoqing. Tang Pei, who had been standing at the door of the kitchen for a long time, smiled.
"Brother, why are you here?" Tang Qing excitedly threw the food in his hand back into the basin.
"You're busy, I'm just here to see you, and I'll bring you something by the way. You said that you don't go home to the doctor, and your parents keep talking about you. Tang Pei looked like a reproach, but there was a doting smile on his face.
"Well, aren't you afraid that the master will not have anything to eat? I will definitely go back to see them this week. Tang Qing shook off the water droplets on the dish, "Brother, you stay and eat, the dog just sent a chicken over today, and Doctor Qin and I can't finish it anyway." ”
"Well, it's been a long time since I've tasted your craft. Tang Pei rolled up his sleeves and was about to help, "Don't forget, you must go home this week, your parents are waiting for you." ”
"Well, I can't forget it. ”
