One, three, three, the New Year

When Shandan worked in the hospital, although he was tired every day, he would be respected and loved by everyone.

But having made a choice, there is no turning back, no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and persevere. Moreover, Shandan firmly believes in a saying: those who are clear are self-pure, and those who are turbid are self-turbid.

The lotus flower can come out of the mud without being stained, and I would rather be the noble lotus flower, which will not be polluted, and will not fall.

The days have come over like this.

Seeing that the Spring Festival is approaching, Xiaoyu has a winter vacation, but Gu Haiping's winter vacation is still far away, although he is taking basic theory courses, he will start to enter the doctoral project next semester, and time will never be enough for him.

Finally, it was only five days before Chinese New Year's Eve to get the exact news: the 28th day of the lunar month was closed, and the eighth day of the first lunar month was on campus, and then the topic opening ceremony and clinical study arrangements with the tutor were held.

Gu Haiping hurriedly bought a ticket to rush home, fortunately, there was no need to prepare anything for the Spring Festival in the city, it was all ready-made to buy in the supermarket, as well as the New Year's goods issued by the unit, so the Spring Festival was lazy and rich.

Gu Haiping is a very neat and clean person, he can't see a little dirty, and everything is usually organized. So as soon as Gu Haiping arrived home, he began to help Shandan clean up, although the home is usually clean and tidy, but high places such as cabinets, door tops, window panes, screen windows Shandan can not be cleaned, and the electric fans used in summer are all areas that Shandan will not clean, so these are Gu Haiping's special projects.

After a busy day, the window was finally clear, and Gu Haiping was tired enough.

Shandan made a pot of milk and sea fish soup to nourish Gu Haiping and Xiaoyu together, and it is very good at tonifying people's spleen and stomach.

I am used to eating large pieces of beef and mutton, and now I have to adapt to the light and thin diet of Yongcheng, which is really difficult for Shandan, without the slightest resemblance to my hometown, I have to re-learn, fortunately, Gu Haiping is also used to eating hometown dishes, so Shandan often uses southern ingredients to make northern dishes.

Because she has been living in school and going to school, Shandan learned cooking slowly after graduating from college, but fortunately, she is talented and intelligent, and she learns everything quickly, so she has seen friends and classmates cook light southern dishes, and Shandan can learn it casually, and slowly master some home-cooked dishes.

It's just that Gu Haiping is very resistant to the blandness of the southern eating habits, so in winter, Shandan will buy dozens of boxes of mutton slices from his hometown from the supermarket when the discount is implemented, freeze them in the refrigerator, and often make hot pot to eat...... A variety of seasonal vegetables, etc. Therefore, when the weather is cold, on a rainy day when the sun is not seen for a few days, more than ten days, or even a whole month in Yongcheng, eating a warm hot pot is really a pleasure in life.

Yongcheng's classmates and friends often ask Shandan the same question: "How can you stand the temperature of minus twenty or thirty degrees in the north?"

In fact, people who have grown up in the south all their lives do not understand that the cold and wet winters in the south are much more difficult than those in the north.

The winter in the south is mostly cloudy and rainy, the temperature is only a few degrees, even close to freezing, but there is no heating equipment at all, the home is even colder than the outside, and people can't take away their bloated clothes when they enter the door, and maybe they have to add clothes.

But no matter how much clothes you wear, the cold that invades the bone marrow can't resist it, and it's damp and cold everywhere.

Washed clothes can hardly be dried naturally in winter, and you need to use a hair dryer, electric heater, and dryer to help you get on your body.

However, the winter in the north is much better: both the countryside and the city have corresponding heating equipment, and the urban heating has begun to be heated until November until May Day of the following year. The whole family was warm for half a year, and when I walked outside, I wore a down jacket, hat, gloves, and shoes, and I didn't feel cold at all.

Because the weather in the north is dry, there is no need to consume extra calories to fight the humidity after the clothes are warmed up outside, so when you wear clothes, the body is still hot at minus twenty or thirty degrees.

The heating equipment in the countryside is relatively simple, with a large stove. Anyway, coal is abundant in the north, so it's cheap. Every family begins to set up a stove in winter, and a copper kettle is on the stove, and the water in it gurgles and gurgles, and there is a dense water vapor, which has been deeply rooted in Shandan's mind, and the warmth, harmony and tranquility are all in Shandan's childhood memories.

Then, put a few potatoes, meat buns, and steamed buns on the stove, steaming, charred on the outside and tender on the inside, extremely delicious, and it is also the taste of home that Shandan has never forgotten in the depths of his memory.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, according to the custom of their hometown, the family stewed a pot of bones at noon, steamed snacks, and made dumplings at night.

It's just that the entire unit building is sparsely populated, they live in the talent building of the unit, and the only unit is a talent with a doctorate. There are many people from other places, and most of them go back to their hometowns for the Spring Festival. There are only three or two families left, but fortunately, there is a child about the same size as Xiaoyu, and the two children have a lot of fun.

Snack on, set off fireworks, light firewood.

Shandan bought all kinds of New Year's decorations to adjust the atmosphere of the house to the festive atmosphere, and everyone also bought new clothes to wear, but the taste of the New Year was never felt much.

Think about when I was a child, there were new clothes to wear during the Chinese New Year, and it was also a few feet of cotton cloth that my mother bought to cut new clothes for the children, and it didn't particularly fit on the body, but the mother's strong love not only warmed the child's body but also deeply nourished the child's heart, so that no matter where they grew up, they must miss and miss their parents in their hometown, miss their mother's love and the warmth of home.

Often in the long sleepless nights, Shandan misses her hometown and her parents deeply, and she falls into the loneliness of a foreign country, but her wish to live in a flowery city comes true. People can't always take all the good things for themselves, and they always lose one thing and the other.

Shandan is often in a trance: is today's life still not the life she has longed for countless times? Every day when she commutes to and from work on time, the neighbors are strangers, everyone is happy in their own small circle, there is no intersection and no communication between people, and when they meet, they nod politely and refuse to say a word.

Such a living environment seems to be too lonely, and people's hearts seem to be hidden and faced alone. No one wants to be in contact with others, let alone communicate, and a person seems to be wearing a facet with no expression, always a rigid and rigid face without any expression.

This is very different from the growth environment of Shandan, she was born in the sparsely populated vast grassland, but the people who survive on the grassland are relatives who love each other, although people may be far away on the grassland, but their mutual help and communication are the intersection of hearts and minds, they are all sincere Mongolians, no indifference and indifference.

Could it be that this castle of steel and concrete is cut off from people's conscience and passion? How can people be so restful in this beautiful city?

Shandan once nagged about her feelings with Gu Haiping, Gu Haiping is also an enthusiastic and unrestrained person, but in the face of the public who reject people thousands of miles away, he is only busy with his career and academics, and he doesn't have much spare energy to pay attention to these things.

They feel the naked desire relationship in the city, Gu Haiping's medical skills make him always be held up to the clouds by the sleek city people, and the rhetoric is no less than the three-inch incorruptible tongue of the great language artist, they have a request for him, often invite him to visit the clinic privately, and often put the RMB into the red envelope as an exchange, but it is definitely just an exchange rather than gratitude or return in their hearts.

It seems that they will feel balanced and taken for granted, but they ignore that the most basic doctors and patients should actually be more common in order to get the most ideal treatment effect, but even so, Gu Haiping's efficacy is incomparably better.

He gradually became famous, just a few days of winter vacation, the New Year was not clean, many people asked for various relationships and favors, in the name of the New Year, to ask Gu Haiping for treatment. Gu Haiping was struggling with the technique of having no doppelganger, so he had to deal with all kinds of unavoidable latent relationships. Fortunately, the income of "RMB" can also give him some comfort.

Slowly, they also began to adapt to the rules of survival in the city, paying only technology and labor, not emotion. This is a challenge for Gu Haiping, who studies the classics of traditional Chinese medicine, the essence of the ancestors of the classics is to be truly "people-oriented", to "harmony between heaven, earth and man", without emotional communication and spiritual communication, the effect of treatment will be greatly reduced, but what can be done? Today's doctor-patient relationship is so tense that even the people who ask grandpa to tell grandma to find a doctor will not fully trust the doctor, they have become accustomed to suspicion, accustomed to deceitful between people, and accustomed to surviving in indifference.

Fortunately, Gu Haiping has always had a normal heart, as long as he finds a patient who comes to the door, he can be treated quietly, and the effect is surprisingly good. Many desperate patients who seek medical treatment all over the country can be cured by Gu Haiping's treatment, and three or two yuan of Chinese medicine can be cured each time. This made him famous in just a few years.

After seeing dozens of patients, Gu Haiping politely declined some people, he went home for the New Year, and he couldn't have time to play with his daughter-in-law and children, so the family went to the scenic spots in the suburbs of Yongcheng to play for two days, and Gu Haiping was in a hurry to return to school again.
