Chapter 256: A Rare Idle Day
There is only one bowl of those leftovers, plus this stewed chicken, and beef is enough for the three of them to eat, this beef is in the middle of the New Year's gift sent by the shopkeeper Lin, because it is only ten catties, so after giving it to Dr. Zhang's family and the village chief's family, the rest of Lin Qiu'er is put away and ready to eat at home.
Now that there wasn't much of it left, she cut some of it and gave it to the people in the house, put it on a tray and brought it into the house.
After the villagers had eaten, the women automatically stayed behind to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, while the men swept the yard and returned the borrowed tables and stools.
Lin Qiu'er put all the leftovers in the pot and brought them back to all the women who came to help with the work, their family didn't want these, and the people in the village didn't dislike it.
Ye Lan also helped clean up, and then took the children back, Lin Xiaoshan and Daniel Zhang saw that Tang Zhian was sleepy, and the two people came out, and then went back.
When everyone in the village was sent away, Lin Qiu'er was greatly relieved, and finally solved the big stone in her heart.
When he went in and saw that Tang Zhi'an was still sleeping, Lin Qiu'er quietly came out and boiled the medicine for him, and then put it in warm water to keep warm, and when Tang Zhi'an woke up, he could drink it directly.
After doing this, Lin Qiu'er was too tired to do anything, and went to sleep after closing the door of her house.
In the following days, Lin Qiu'er took care of Tang Zhi'an while preparing the things needed for the New Year, Tang Zhi'an's wound had healed and began to scab after five days, and there was no need for dressing, as long as he drank the medicine on time to fall off the scab of the wound by himself.
Seeing this situation, Lin Qiu'er's heart was also much relieved, but Tang Zhian couldn't go to the ground for the time being, and he needed to continue to recuperate.
This day is Chinese New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, Lin Qiuer got up in the morning and began to prepare dumplings and Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and other things she has prepared these days, even the New Year's goods are also entrusted to others.
But fortunately, Lin Qiuxu sent a lot of things, and their family's New Year's goods were enough, but there were no incense firecrackers and other things, so she asked Ye Lan to help her bring them back.
Every time she thinks about this, she is very grateful to Lin Qiuxu, there are so many things he sent, food, clothing, medicinal herbs, jewelry, etc., so there is not much for their family to prepare for the New Year, so she can ask others to bring it.
Otherwise, if there are many things missing, she will definitely have to go to the town by herself, this time is really the time to do New Year's goods, the town is crowded, and it is a headache to think about.
After lunch on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Qiu'er was cleaning up in the yard, and Ye Lan and Daniel Zhang came over, "Qiu'er, what about your couplet?" Hurry up and take it out and let Brother Yong help you post it. ”
As soon as Ye Lan entered the door, she said enthusiastically, Lin Qiu'er's eyes lit up, to be honest, she was still worried about this couplet!
"Okay sister-in-law, I'm worried about how to paste this couplet!" Lin Qiu'er said with a smile.
Ye Lan looked at her and said, "I just know that no one posted your couplet, so I brought your brother Yong over too, and he posted it for you." ”
Lin Qiuer went into the house and took out the couplet, and quickly prepared the paste, Daniel Zhang also moved the ladder of his own house, and soon began to paste the couplet to Tang Zhi'an's house.
Tang Zhian heard the movement in the house and relaxed, you must know that he was worried about the couplet just now, thinking that he still had to go next door to call someone, and his daughter-in-law would definitely not be able to go up the ladder to paste the couplet.
Daniel Zhang and Ye Lan pasted the couplet for Tang Zhi'an's family before going back, and Lin Qiuer also hurriedly prepared for the evening reunion dinner.
Although there are only two people in the family, she and Tang Zhi'an are not allowed to eat on this Chinese New Year's Eve.
It's just that you can make less of each dish, so that you can eat more variety, and there won't be a lot left.
When it got dark, everyone in the village began to set off firecrackers, and Lin Qiu'er also went out, which was nothing rare for her, and soon their house also sounded firecrackers.
Tang Zhi'an heard it in the house, and he was a little anxious, "Daughter-in-law, did you put it?" ”
Lin Qiu'er came in excitedly, "Yes, I put it, how about it?" I'm amazing, right? ”
Tang Zhian looked nervous, "Are you injured?" ”
Lin Qiu'er came to him, stretched out her hand to show him and said, "It's okay, it's just a firecracker, it definitely won't hurt me." ”
Tang Zhian still disagreed, in his opinion, this was a very dangerous thing! If his daughter-in-law was injured by firecrackers, he would not regret dying.
Seeing that his daughter-in-law really had nothing to do, his heart relaxed, and he quickly smiled and said, "Don't do such dangerous things in the future, how worried I am about your appearance!" ”
Lin Qiu'er smiled sweetly and said, "I know." ”
After speaking, she turned around and went to the kitchen to bring all the food, moved the table to the kang, she sat on the kang, and Tang Zhian lay on the kang.
Although his wound has now scabbed, Lin Qiu'er will not let him sit down or get off the kang, but his heart will open the wound again, and he must completely heal the wound before he can come down.
The food of the two people was also very delicious, after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, the two people kept vigil while talking on the kang, and when the time passed, the two people went to sleep.
The next day was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, Lin Qiu'er quickly got up to cook dumplings for the two of them, and then the people in the village were going to come to visit the door, if they got up too late, they would be laughed at.
When the two finished eating the dumplings, Lin Qiu'er found new clothes for Tang Zhi'an to change, and she quickly put on new clothes, and took out the melon seeds, peanuts and candies at home, as well as the pastries that the children like to eat.
After that, they will prepare red envelopes, and there will be children to come to pay New Year's greetings, and they need to send red envelopes to the children, and a red envelope can contain three pennies.
Lin Qiu'er didn't know how many children would come, but thinking that there were a lot of children in the village, she prepared a lot of red envelopes.
After a while, a lot of children came running over, "Aunt Zhi'an, Happy New Year!" ”
The sound of children's chirping is not so noisy in this New Year, but unusually lively, which makes people's mood much better.
The two children of Dr. Zhang's family also followed, they were small, so they were all behind, seeing their favorite aunt surrounded by others, both of them were anxious, and squeezed to the front, and one hugged Lin Qiuer's calf on the side.
Suddenly, two leg pendants appeared on her legs, Lin Qiu'er looked at it for a moment, and when she saw that it were the two grandsons of Dr. Zhang's family, she smiled and said, "What's the matter?" You two little guys? ”
Zhang Haoyang and Zhang Haotian looked at the little friends around them, unhappy that they liked their aunt so much, and looked at Lin Qiu'er aggrievedly.
Lin Qiu'er knew what these two little buns were thinking at a glance, "You two are little masters, shouldn't you help your aunt greet guests?" They're all good friends of yours, aren't they? ”
When the two little buns heard this, they felt a little more comfortable, that's right, they were a family with their aunt, and they were all guests.
Thinking of this, both of them smiled and said, "Okay, let's greet them." ”
The two little guys often come to Lin Qiu'er's house to play, so Lin Qiu'er will teach them many things, and these two little guys are very sensible now.
Take pastries to the little friends to eat, take care of them, play with them, Lin Qiuer took out the red envelopes and distributed them to the children, and when they were about to leave, the two little ones also followed them to other people's homes to pay New Year's greetings.
In the morning, it was the children, and after lunch, the adults would also go to the homes of acquaintances to talk, Ye Lan must have come to find Lin Qiu'er, and Daniel Zhang and Lin Xiaoshan also came to talk to Tang Zhi'an.
Lin Qiu'er prepared peanuts, melon seeds and tea, she and Ye Lan were talking in the yard, and soon other people came, and a group of people chatted in the yard until it was dark.
The Chinese New Year is the most idle time, but it is slowly boring, this first day of the new year can be more lively, and then it is time to go to relatives, Tang Zhian and Lin Qiuer's family have no relatives, so they have to stay in their own homes.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Zhian had been recuperating from his injuries for more than half a month, because he was still in the New Year a few days ago, and he was worried that the medical center in the town was not open, so the two of them stayed at home for a few more days, and they were ready to go to the town on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.
Early in the morning, Lin Qiu'er first went to the next door and called Daniel Zhang and Ye Lan to help, she spread a quilt on her family's ox cart, Daniel Zhang carried Tang Zhi'an out and let him lie on the ox cart, Daniel Zhang drove the ox cart, Ye Lan and Lin Qiuer walked, and the four went to the town together.
When she arrived in the town and saw that the medical hall had been opened, Lin Qiu'er breathed a sigh of relief, because the medicine Tang Zhi'an drank was finished, so she had to hurry to see Dr. Xia.
Seeing them come in, Dr. Xia smiled and said, "Happy New Year!" ”
"Doctor Xia, Happy New Year." Lin Qiu'er said with a smile, "Before I came, I was worried that the medical hall was not open!" ”
Dr. Xia touched his long beard and said: "No, the hospital is not open only on Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and it has to be opened at other times. ”
Lin Qiu'er nodded, this is the truth, "Doctor Xia, how are you recovering from my man's injuries?" ”
Dr. Xia stood up and took the lead to walk forward, Daniel Zhang carried Tang Zhi'an on his back, because it was inconvenient to follow Ye Lan to see the injuries on her body, so she waited at the ox cart at the door, and also looked at things by the way.
Lin Qiu'er followed, went to the house, put Tang Zhi'an on the bed, and after seeing the wound, Dr. Xia nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this wound is recovering very well, wait until the wound is no longer red, and the scab is relatively hard, you can walk around on the ground." ”
Tang Zhian hurriedly said, "How long will it take!" ”
Doctor Xia smiled, "Knowing that you are lying in bed for too long and feeling bored, don't worry!" Soon, you can go to the ground in five or six days, and the time when your wound scabs over is not short, but the previous scab is just knotted, if you move around, it is likely that the wound will be broken, and there will be no problem with this wound as the days go by. ”
