Chapter 151: Many worries
New Year's Eve arrived a few days after the pork was distributed. Since there were many ready-made dishes at home that could be eaten as long as they were heated, Xia Chan and the others did not start preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner so early.
After Xia Chan and her brothers finished breakfast, they went directly to skate on the small stream. Last year during the New Year, Xia Chan and Xia Qi went to skate on the river in the village. As a result, Xia Baozhu tampered with her, causing Xia Qi's face to be skating. Got a scar.
Scar removal medicine is applied every morning and evening, but the scar is still there. They look at it every day, but there is no sign of the scar fading. Xia Chan knows that the process of scar removal is long, so every time Xia Qi wants to give up , she prevented him from giving up.
If one year doesn't work, then two or three years...
She didn’t believe that the scar removal cream sold on the ‘Crossing Mall’ was ineffective. As long as she kept using it, the scars would gradually fade away.
The five brothers and sisters stood on the ice and slid upstream. Xia Chan squatted on the ground. Xia Qi grabbed her hands and pulled her to skate. It is estimated that children in the countryside have been playing this since they were young, so everyone played it. It's particularly crazy, and the movements look a bit dangerous, and others may be a little scared if they see it, but they are very satisfied with the game.
Xia Chan rarely sees her brothers childish, because they lost their parents early, and they had to grow up and carry their own world. They have no time or right to be childish, because if they are childish, they will be No bones are left.
Now seeing their childish looks and their heartfelt smiles, Xia Chan was also very happy.
Although she is not sure whether she has changed the fate of her brothers and herself, as long as they live, they must live every day well and never leave any regrets to themselves.
The five brothers and sisters skated for a while, then went to their parents' cemetery to pay homage to their parents, and then went home. When they walked to the door of their house, they saw a lesbian from the village standing outside her door anxiously holding a child, " Xia Chan, my child has a fever, and the health center does not have fever-reducing medicine. Please send us to the hospital. I have already told the team leader.”
"Okay, wait for me." Although she is not familiar with this person, she is also from the village. Now that there is an emergency, she cannot ignore it, not to mention that he has already told the captain.
The brigade captain had agreed for her to drive the tractor to the hospital.
Xia Chan returned home and hurried to the bathroom. After closing the door, she ducked into the hotel suite. Then she went to the "Crossing Mall" to buy antipyretic medicine for children. She just remembered that the antipyretic medicine of this era was Anagin. However, the side effects of taking it were very serious, and it was banned later.
Xia Chan bought the medicine and hurried out. Then she went to the door and handed the antipyretic medicine to the woman and said, "It's winter now, not to mention the lack of medicine in the health center. It's very likely that the hospitals in the city are also short of medicine. I won't be here this year." When you feel comfortable, you can prescribe medicine from the hospital. There is also antipyretic medicine. Let the child take it, then take him to the health center and let Dr. Song or Dr. Jiang observe him. "
"Xia Chan, thank you." The woman eagerly took the antipyretic medicine from Xia Chan's hand and fed it into the child's mouth. After thanking Xia Chan, she quickly carried the child down the mountain.
Xia Chan sighed and then closed the courtyard door.
She has no idea of getting married, not only because she doesn’t want her parents-in-law to worry about her, and she doesn’t want to have a lot of troubles, but also because in this era, if you get married and don’t have children for a year or two, others will be suspicious. The bodies of both of you as a couple, and then point fingers at you. If you give birth to a child, but the medical technology in this era is not good and medical supplies are in short supply, once the child gets sick, he may...
Even if you don't get sick, raising a child is very hard and painful. It can be said that mothers always collapse during the day and slowly heal themselves in the dead of night.
She has a friend in the 21st century who got married early, less than thirty years old, and has children in elementary school, but she looks as haggard as a forty-year-old. But other women in their forties are glamorous, but she is No energy at all.
The child's grades are not good, and he spends several hours doing homework every day. Things that can be solved in half an hour have to be delayed from getting home from get out of class until midnight. The couple is really worried about the child's study.
If all parties are willing to take it all together, Xia Chan has no idea of getting married.
If you meet a husband who treats you badly and doesn't understand you, and puts all the problems of running the house, being filial to your parents, taking care of the children, tutoring in studies, etc. on you, then it will be a truly hellish life!
Xia Chan's friend who got married early has a pretty good husband. He picks up and drops off his children every morning and evening, and takes them out to play on weekends. Most of the time, he supervises his children's homework. How many fathers can do this?
Many fathers feel paralyzed as soon as they get off work. Women are so busy raising children that they end up having to take care of an ‘eldest son’.
Because she has seen through human nature, Xia Chan has a lot of worries, and if anyone wants to make her suffer, don't even think about it. If she really gets married and lets her live like this, even if she can't get divorced, she will If you run, you will never waste your good life.
After that, the five brothers and sisters started to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. Because they wanted to fry meatballs, Xia Chan brought in the semi-finished takeout she had bought before, including chicken steaks, crispy bananas, pumpkin cakes, taro and sweet potato balls, etc. Take it out and fry it. After frying, take it out and put it in a small bamboo basket.
The brothers had never eaten these things, and they were always around Xia Chan. They ate whatever Xia Chan fried, so these things were quickly eaten, and Xia Chan also ate some, but she still had to keep some food in her stomach. I was having New Year’s Eve dinner, so I didn’t eat that much.
After frying these take-out semi-finished products, Xia Chan gave up the position of chef to Xia Qi and asked him to fry the meatballs and radish balls. After the meatballs were fried, Xia Chan asked Xia Qi to fry the cut fish pieces. , the fried fish pieces are more delicious when stir-fried and the fish meat is not easy to loosen.
The oil after frying things is put into a lard basin. When cooking dumplings or noodles, you can put a little of this cooked oil in it. It tastes good.
As evening approached, Xia Chan brought back chicken stewed with mushrooms, pickled fish, and mutton soup from the ice jar in the yard. She put them on the stove to heat them one by one. The dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner also included scrambled eggs with leeks and potatoes cooked in vinegar. Stir-fried beans with silk and bacon, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, three delicacies, braised pork with bamboo shoots, stir-fried water spinach, and steamed crucian carp.
This steamed crucian carp is not for eating, but for presentation.
Together with the meatballs, there are twelve dishes in total.
