Chapter 46: Family Meetings
At more than 6 o'clock in the evening, in a tightly guarded family home, the living room of an independent two-story small building was full of people, large and small, there were more than a dozen of them, among which sitting in the middle of the sofa was an old couple, surrounded by two middle-aged couples, and another 3 women and 2 men of young people sat on the bench, sitting around adults, one of the girls was Zhao Ting.
"Xiaoting, although you are disfigured, but with our family background, it is not difficult to find a good person", a middle-aged woman said lukewarmly, and the old man sitting in the center put the teacup on the coffee table hard, obviously dissatisfied with this woman's statement.
"Xiaoting, your aunt is also kind, my mother hopes that you will stop being tough, let's find a partner as soon as possible, you are not too young", another middle-aged woman who was somewhat similar to Zhao Ting also said.
"I don't want to get married, I swear I will never get married until I catch Lao K."
"Confused, you can't catch Lao K in your life, won't you get married, you're about to be 24 years old", the middle-aged man who was obviously Zhao Ting's father said angrily.
Zhao Ting's expression was still calm, she didn't speak, and the other young people didn't dare to speak.
"When a woman is older, she has to get married and have children, work is important, and life is also important," said the old man, who is obviously a grandmother, said gently.
The old man in the middle did not speak, but picked up the teacup again and played with it in his hand.
"The little army of the old Zhou family has said it, he doesn't dislike you", the aunt said.
"A gentleman, whoever likes to marry".
"You".
。。。。。。
"Okay, Xiaoting's affairs are in her charges", the old man in the center finally put down the teacup and made a final decision, and no one else dared to say anything.
"Old man, she is your favorite granddaughter, you can't let her temperament be."
"Have you forgotten where the scar on her face came from," the old man whispered to his wife.
Several women shed tears, as for how many were sincere, it is unknown, Zhao Ting still had a calm expression.
"I'll say it again, don't worry about Zhao Ting's affairs in the future, she can do it herself, and she can do it without getting married. life to contribute".
"You dead old man".
。。。。。。。
"Child, then go home and live, you can't always live outside, it's inconvenient to be alone."
"I live with Aunt Liu, and my work needs, we have a lot of emergencies, and it is inconvenient to sit in the family home."
。。。。。。。
It is said that Li Guocheng returned home in a loss, and was about to heat up the remaining nest head from yesterday, when he heard a knock on the door and got up to open the door.
"Master, you come into the house."
"No, when I went to the house for dinner in the evening, your aunt prepared a few good dishes, I want to thank you."
Li Guocheng was not hypocritical, and happily followed the first uncle to the house of the first master in the middle courtyard, and when he entered the door, the deaf old lady was also there.
"Li family boy, I heard that you can also do Chinese medicine, you are going to become a sperm", the deaf old lady said with a smile, revealing her only 5 remaining teeth, 2 on the top and 3 on the bottom.
"Old lady, don't you dare to say that, after liberation, animals will not be allowed to become sperm, let alone people."
"Yes, yes, look at my mouth", the deaf old lady patted her mouth gently.
"Guocheng is here, I'll start eating right away", an aunt's voice came from the kitchen, obviously very happy.
"Come, boy, show your wife," the deaf old lady stretched out her arm.
Li Guocheng was not hypocritical, he stretched out his hand to take the pulse, felt it carefully, and found that the deaf old lady really had no major problems except for the normal aging of her physical functions.
"Madam, you are well."
"I'll just say, my wife, my health is fine", he said and looked at the uncle complainingly.
"Not being sick is a good thing, a good thing", Uncle Yi is obviously a little unnatural.
Li Guocheng knew the reason in a blink of an eye when he thought about it, and he didn't say anything, and chatted with everyone happily.
was full of wine and food, and Li Guocheng didn't hold it anymore, so he directly picked it out.
"Master, aunt, if nothing else, you should be able to have a healthy baby next year."
An aunt is less than 45, according to her physical performance, she should still have fertility, coupled with Li Guocheng's recuperation, check it a month later, if you don't worry, you can also secretly put chalcedony liquid in a water cup for them to drink, one person and one drop, I don't believe that I can't change the fate of an uncle, the reason why I am so concerned is also to repay my uncle for his careful guidance in assembly, not to mention that I also recognized a master.
When the three people in the room heard Li Guocheng's words, the eyes of the first uncle turned red in anticipation, the first aunt was already crying, and the old lady also comforted the first aunt with red eyes.
"This is a good thing, you can't be too excited at this time, you have to stay calm to warm your body."
"Yes, yes, yes, not excited".
。。。。。。
When I returned home, I looked at the deserted room, and I thought of Sister Basket for no reason, and a smile appeared on my face, and I suddenly felt that the house was not so cold, and I couldn't help but give myself a slap.
"I'm going to Xiangjiang next year, and you're going to provoke Zhao Ting."
Forget it, wash your hands and watch Maoxuan.
In the next few days, the rumor of Li Guocheng's medical skills spread in the compound, Li Guocheng knew that it should be an aunt who said that she had leaked her mouth, and there was no special instruction before, and it was useless to know the instructions, and there were no secrets in the compound. Some neighbors who love to take advantage want Li Guocheng to take a look. Because I don't have a medical qualification certificate, I didn't ask if I could practice medicine, but the neighbors and neighbors didn't see each other and confessed every time, just helping, not charging money, not selling medicine, and could prescribe medicine, but went to the pharmacy to catch it.
Those who are willing to seek medical treatment from Li Guocheng are willing to grab medicine, and Li Guocheng knows it.
For some who wanted to get needles, Li Guocheng honestly confessed that he had only studied for 2 months, and he usually went to work on Sundays, and everyone retreated when they heard it.
The bold little daughter-in-law in the courtyard also deliberately squeezed Li Guocheng and asked them to get needles, which scared Li Guocheng and ran away.
The ordinary days passed quite quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was January 20, 1964.
During the Chinese New Year, children are happiest, wearing new clothes, eating delicious food, and playing with firecrackers. Since the morning, the guys in the courtyard have begun to run around like crazy, one will run to your house, one will run to his house, adults are also tolerant today, as long as it is not too much, they all turn a blind eye, as for whether the festival will be settled after the autumn, it depends on whether you have played.
Manager Ma is very benevolent, and he also counted his own share of the New Year's goods, 1 catty of pork belly, half a catty of melon seeds and 2 catties of white noodles. I said that I would go to Zhang's hometown for the New Year this year, and I posted my own couplet at noon, and said hello to an uncle, and went out with the New Year's goods.
When he arrived at the door of Zhang's old courtyard, he took out 2 bottles of 53-year-old Moutai and a chicken from the secret realm, and knocked on the courtyard door
Today's Xiao Jing'er is dressed very beautifully, a pair of pigtails highlight the youth and liveliness, and the sweet and greasy blessing makes Li Guocheng feel the warmth of home. With the help of Xiao Jing'er, I made a table of Chinese New Year's Eve rice that was relatively rich in this era, braised pork, vinegared cabbage, steamed sausage, and a hen soup, the staple food is dumplings.
After dinner, after chatting for a while, I felt Xiao Jing'er's sweetness and a little sweet sticky, so I got up and went home after greeting the New Year in advance.
It was 8 o'clock in the evening when I got home, the courtyard was still very lively, the children were not afraid of freezing, carrying the small lanterns that were homemade or the parents helped to paste the small lanterns running around, from time to time there was a firecracker sound, causing the children to shout, and the taste of the year overflowed in China.
Li Guocheng read until 12 o'clock, heard the sound of firecrackers outside, got up and picked up two 100 firecrackers, more than a dozen maroon, at this time there were already people in the courtyard setting off firecrackers, no matter what the conditions, everyone will buy some more or less during the New Year to express the farewell to the old and welcome the new.
After setting off the firecrackers and greeting each other, Li Guocheng went home and slept peacefully.
