Chapter 14 14. Settling down and working

Lin Qingxi woke up at dawn, mainly because she couldn't sleep. She lay on the bed for a while before waking up Xiang Yijing, and then went to the front to wash up.

Lin Qingxi had no intention of going to the kitchen to help. After all, she had just arrived and had not figured out the situation yet. Not only would she not be able to help, but it would be a disservice.

Lin Qingxi was still washing up, and Lin Yizheng and three other people also came. Soon, the rest of the Zhou family also got up one after another.

After Lin Qingxi washed up, she took Lin Yizheng and the four of them back to the room to sort out their luggage, and took out the various pastries she bought, two packs of White Rabbit toffee, and two packs of cigarettes.

I left a pack and a half of pastries for Lin Yizheng and the others to eat when they were hungry. I divided the remaining items into two portions, one for my second uncle Zhou Guihe and one for my eldest uncle Zhou Guijiang. As for the opened bag of toffee, take

He took out a portion and gave him a pack of cigarettes, intending to give it to the village chief's family for related purposes. After all, he couldn't let him go to waste on settling down and working.

In the main room, Sun Yumei and her sister-in-law Zhang Cuilan served breakfast and corn mush on the table, and then Zhou Jin shared the porridge.

After breakfast, uncle Zhou Guijiang and the others went to work, leaving the four boys, Zhou Daye, and Lin Qingxi at home.

"Grandpa, please take me to the village chief's house! I want to talk to him about settling in and working." Lin Qingxi took the candy and cigarettes that she took out from the room, and then asked Zhou Jin for one.

With the basket loaded, I went to find Zhou Daye.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhou Daye looked at the basket covered with cloth, nodded secretly, yes, he knows how to be a good person, and took her towards the village chief Zhou Guitang.

Soon, the two arrived at the village chief's house. When they arrived, Zhou Guitang's family had just finished breakfast and were preparing to go to work.

"Uncle Daye is here. Master, come out quickly. Uncle Daye is here. Uncle, is this your girl Xi?" As soon as Zhou Guitang's wife Zhou Sunshi put the bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen, she saw Zhou Daye leading a girl with a similar appearance.

The handsome girl came in and hurriedly came forward to say hello and asked.

"It's his aunt, this is my girl Xi Yatou, girl Xi Yatou, call someone quickly, this is your uncle Tang's mother-in-law, just call her Tang Jinzi," Zhou Daye said with a smile on his face.

"Tang Jinzi, hello, I am Lin Qingxi." After Lin Qingxi introduced herself, she handed over the basket in her hand. Zhou Sun didn't think much about it, thinking it was not something valuable, so she took the basket and

He took Zhou Daye's grandfather and grandson into the main room.

Mrs. Zhou Sun casually put the basket on the table and poured a cup of brown sugar water for Zhou Daye and Lin Qingxi. As soon as the water was poured, Zhou Guitang came out.

"Uncle Daye, Xi Yatou, you are here. Xi Yatou arrived yesterday, right?" Zhou Guitang looked at Lin Qingxi and asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Uncle Tang," Lin Qingxi responded with a smile.

"You wrote last time about the matter of settling in. I have already reported it to the superiors. Please bring me the certificate of transfer of relationship and household registration issued by them. I will go to the county to get it done for you tomorrow. Let's talk about you.

Is it about work?" Zhou Guitang didn't delay and said straight to the point.

"Yes, I graduated from high school last year and also obtained my medical certificate. This year, although I did not officially go to work in the hospital, I often went to the hospital to cover my shift when the hospital was overwhelmed. And I am good at both traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

It’s not just about which department I’m looking at. I wonder what I’ll get as a barefoot doctor?”

Seeing how direct Zhou Guitang was, Lin Qingxi also put away her easy-going side and showed the side of her previous life when she was working as a doctor. The transformation between the two stunned everyone.

"The conditions in our village are like this. I can only charge you twelve full centimeters at most every day, and then you have to pay for your own medical treatment. You keep it yourself. After all, you have to get the medicine yourself. However, it must be paid by the village.

Otherwise, if other villagers find out about it, it will easily cause a big disaster."

Zhou Guitang pondered for a while and told the results that he and the cadres had discussed. This was the greatest sincerity the village could give. If it didn't work, he would have to forget it.

"Yes, I agree, but I always have to go out to purchase Western medicine at a reasonable price throughout the year. I hope Uncle Tang will be more comfortable when he issues the certificate and letter of introduction."

Lin Qingxi nodded. She had thought clearly before she came back. Being a barefoot doctor in the countryside was certainly not as good as being a formal doctor in a military hospital, but Zhoujiatun was different for her. This was the second step in changing her life.

"Of course, that's it, then it's settled," Hearing this, Zhou Guitang showed a big smile on his face. As long as he can stay as a barefoot doctor, everything else is trivial.

"In addition, I would like to ask if there is any vacant house in the village? I want to buy it," just after Lin Qingxi finished speaking, Zhou Daye raised his head and looked at Lin Qingxi in disbelief, opened his mouth and said: "Girl Xi, what do you mean?

What are you talking about? You live well at home, why do you want to move out?"

"Grandpa, we live well at home, but my surname is Lin after all, and Yi Zheng and the others are not related by blood to my eldest cousin. After living here for a long time, even if you and your uncle don't have any objections, the eldest brother

Where are my cousin and the others? Where are the two cousins-in-law? My fifth cousin hasn’t said we’re getting married yet, so how can we stay here permanently?”

Lin Qingxi shook her head. It was impossible for her to live there permanently. It was impossible for her to understand the principle of far away fragrance and near smell.

After listening to Lin Qingxi's words, Zhou Daye looked at her hesitantly. He wanted to say but didn't know what to say. Indeed, the Zhou family has been separated. The eldest daughter-in-law is now the head of the family, not the two elders.

Lin Qingxi ignored Zhou Daye's expression and continued: "Besides, I don't want the relationship with my uncle's family to become inseparable. We will still have contact in the future, and we can't make it too rigid.

It will not look good on everyone’s faces then.”

"Uncle Daye, Girl Xi is right, you should listen to her!" Zhou Guitang admired Lin Qingxi in his heart. At such a young age, he could see things clearly than anyone else.

After a pause, Zhou Guitang continued: "You will definitely not like the old houses in the village, so I won't talk about it. However, there is a foundation in the village that is quite suitable for you to build a house. It is next door to Zhou Guilin's house. His family has two

The children are not around, and the couple is honest and loyal, but that side is closer to the back mountain, to the end of the village."

"That doesn't matter. We'll just make the wall higher then. I wonder how big that foundation is?" Lin Qingxi continued to ask. She had made up her mind to get that foundation.

"There are about two acres of land. Don't worry, it's just a little more. I'll give you ten yuan for the foundation. But now we don't have time to ask the villagers to build you a house. It will take half a month. Now is the time.

It's busy farming season," Zhou Guitang recalled it in his mind and knew the area of ​​the land, so he blurted it out.

"It doesn't matter, but how do you calculate the wages when you ask the villagers to build a house? I live in my grandpa's house and it's not convenient to take care of the food, so just give me wages!" Lin Qingxi thought about it, half a month is half a month, just right.

Use this time to finalize the materials.
