Li Shuangzhu and Li Liang, father and son, worked together to paste the Spring Festival couplets in the yard, living room, kitchen, toilet, bathroom and Li Liang's small room, and even the two trees did not fall.

Li Liang explained to his parents how to eat hot pot, Li Liang's parents had eaten hot pot before, and they quickly understood how to eat hot pot similar to hot pot.

It's just that there is no pot suitable for making hot pot and a base tray for putting charcoal at home. Zhang Meng asked Hu Pingcheng to speed up a batch of them, but as the Chinese New Year approached, Hu Pingcheng's blacksmith shop was very busy, and he couldn't ship the goods before the New Year, so he agreed with Zhang Meng to wait for the New Year to be delivered.

However, Wang Xiulan came up with a workaround, she felt that she could blanch the dishes she wanted to eat in the kitchen and eat them directly in the living room. After eating a pot, go to the kitchen to burn another pot.

"Talent!"

This is Li Liang's evaluation of his mother.

Just do it, Wang Xiulan went out to buy ingredients for hot pot. Now in this year, people generally like to buy fatty meat and pork belly when buying meat. For other parts of the pig's body, such as internal organs, pig heads, and pig ears, they have always been added to the head, not to mention the big bones and ribs that have no meat.

So even though it was already afternoon, Wang Xiulan still bought big bones and pork ribs for boiling soup, as well as bean sprouts, tofu, bean skin, Chinese cabbage, radish, grass carp, etc.

With Li Liang's assistance, Wang Xiulan quickly prepared the side dishes of the hot pot. The grass carp is slice by Li Lianglai, the fish slices are very thin, and the rest of the fish head and tail are not willing to throw away, Wang Xiulan is ready to make a fish soup with tofu in a bowl.

The mother and son were busy with the ingredients at night, while Li Shuangzhu was chopping firewood in the yard, piling up the chopped firewood and storing it well before the New Year.

The family was busy, and Li Liang's aunt Wang Xiuyan came in with a bag of things.

"Brother-in-law!" she shouted when she pushed open the courtyard door and saw Li Shuangzhu chopping wood in the yard.

Hearing her sister's voice, Wang Xiulan hurriedly came out of the kitchen.

"Xiuyan, is this a holiday in your store?" asked Wang Xiulan.

"Yes, sister, the store was supposed to have a holiday tomorrow, but Sister-in-law Chunhua said that my home is far away, so she will give me a holiday in advance! You see, Sister-in-law Chunhua also sent me so many New Year's goods!" Wang Xiuyan said happily.

Chen Chunhua is very good at being a person and treats employees very well. Among the New Year's goods prepared for Wang Xiuyan, there are bacon sausages, bean curd, dried shiitake mushrooms, dried fungus, and a few catties of apples.

This apple, in particular, is relatively rare. Hek County is located in the south, apples from the north are scarce and the price is relatively high, and the fruits used by ordinary people to entertain guests during the New Year are locally abundant oranges and grapefruits.

In the evening, when Li Meng came back, Li Liang's family and Wang Xiuyan were in the living room, eating hot pot lively.

"Delicious!"

"Liangzi, can this dish be placed in our store?" Wang Xiuyan said with admiration while eating.

"Auntie, this dish has already been launched at a branch, but it was too late to ask a blacksmith to make enough pots a year ago, and I haven't had time to promote this dish!" Li Liang explained.

While eating, Li Meng said enviously to her aunt Wang Xiuyan: "Auntie, it's better for you, you can have fun during the New Year! I have to go to work on the first day of the new year!"

Doctors and nurses are the most irregular group of people during the holidays, and no matter what the holidays are, the hospital needs to keep a group of people on duty in the hospital. Last year, Li Meng was lucky not to be scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year, and this year he was not so lucky.

Speaking of vacations, Wang Xiuyan's words box also opened: "Mengmeng, I really want to go to work every day." ”

"Why?"

"We ate well, lived well, and were well paid. ”

This is a man who has been captured by his boss. The bosses of later generations must like such employees the most. Li Liang thought while listening to Wang Xiuyan's words.

"Hey, auntie, your mentality is too good, I can't compare, today I encountered an incident in the hospital that made our whole department angry, and I almost quarreled with the other party's family. Li Meng put down the chopsticks in his hand, stroked his head and said.

Li Meng's temper has always been good, and when she heard her angry and wanted to quarrel with the patient's family, everyone listened carefully.

"What's the matter?"

"Two days ago we had a little boy in the emergency department, less than a year old, very cute. Both parents are educated youths, and they have not been assigned jobs since returning from the countryside last year. The two secretly conceived a child at Zhiqing Point, and got married after they came back. Two days ago, I came to the clinic because I fell out of bed, and I spent one night in our department. The next day, our director saw that the baby was in good spirits and said that he could go home for observation.

Who knew that this morning, the naughty child who came before had become a cold corpse and was sent back to our emergency department by their family, and the child was not breathing at home, and the family did not give up and insisted on sending us to the hospital. What happened in between, was it a change in the child's condition or what, you would never guess?"

The more Li Meng spoke, the more angry he became: "After this child went home, he fell out of bed again! The most hateful thing is that when their family members found the child on the ground, they didn't know when it fell." This morning, the child's grandmother wanted to kneel down to my mother, and our director said that the children were hard and could not be rescued.

The child's grandmother still did not repent, and even blamed our director, saying that if the director did not let them go home, the child would not necessarily fall out of bed in the hospital. It's all like this, I watched the child fall twice in a row, the first time it was fine, and then I was not vigilant, and the next day I fell again. And also put the blame on us. ”

Li Meng said this thing, which made the family lose their appetite for eating.

"How can there be such a family member and such a grandmother?" Wang Xiulan sighed.

In his previous life, Li Liang had seen even more outrageous things, such as his sister Li Meng, didn't he thank him in his previous life because of a doctor-patient dispute, he was silent.

After eating, Wang Xiuyan and Li Meng went back to the room and muttered and talked. Wang Xiulan went back to the kitchen to clean up, and Li Shuangzhu turned on the TV at home. Since he had a television at home, his frequency of listening to the radio has decreased significantly.

Li Liang went to Chenchen's house, Chenchen's family was still having dinner, and the whole family was there, but Zhang Meng and Aunt Chunhua were missing.

Seeing Li Liang coming in, Zhang Qingxiang beckoned: "Liangzi, have you had dinner, do you want to eat more at your uncle's house!"

"Uncle, no need, I just finished eating!"

Li Liang came to Zhang's house to talk to Zhang Qingxiang about the construction team. Zhang Qingxiang works in the coal yard, is lively, and is very familiar with some small restaurant owners in the city, and since the reform and opening up, these people are the first to become silently rich, and they also have the most potential to build houses.
