Chapter 124: The End of the Fourteen Years of Qingque (2 in 1)
Piles of bonfires were lit, and the bright firelight reflected the red sky, the white snow and the faces.
"Bang bang bang~!"
The bamboos that were cut into large sections were put on the fire for burning by some children who liked to do these things. The air in the bamboo joints expanded rapidly when heated, and the appearance of the bamboo poles changed due to the burning of the flames.
Not strong enough.
As a result, these bamboo joints soon exploded.
There was a muffled sound, some sparks exploded, and children laughed with excitement and a little fear.
Lights were also lit in many rooms, and the orange light shone from the windows, making the patterns cut out of red paper pasted on the window paper even more vivid.
This is the end of Qingque's fourteenth year.
This year, the twelfth lunar month is Xiaojin. If there is no thirty, the twenty-nine will be celebrated as thirty.
Not everyone participated in the joy of the New Year.
For example, Liang, several nurses who worked with Liang, and the man who looked anxiously waiting outside the delivery room with the doors and windows closed.
The sound of firecrackers continued one after another, making the snowy night even more lively.
It was at this moment that someone opened the door to the delivery room from the inside, with sweat on his forehead. He walked out of the room holding a thick swaddle, and with a smile on his face, he handed over the swaddle, along with the contents inside.
The little babies were handed over and waited for a long time, their faces full of nervousness and anticipation.
Babies are soft and small, even if they are wrapped in swaddling clothes, they are still difficult to hold.
This man, who was obviously the father of the child, immediately froze up after taking the swaddling clothes from Liang's arms. He kept in a very awkward posture and did not dare to change positions easily while holding the child.
It looked as if what he was holding was not a child at all, but a time bomb.
Even so, he put his head in front of the child's face and looked at the sleeping child, still smiling broadly.
After standing here looking at the child for a while, this young man who became a father for the first time walked into the delivery room all the way to find his wife while holding the time bomb.
Looking at the joyful scene in front of him, and then listening to the joyful and happy voices of the young couple coming from the delivery room behind him, Liang reached out and took off the mask, hung it by his ear, and then squatted down.
Come down.
There was a smile on everyone's face.
Saving lives and healing the wounded is his greatest happiness as a doctor, especially when the target is pregnant women and successfully born newborn babies.
This new joy will fill his heart with joy and allow him to ignore the fatigue on his body.
Ignore the fact that you didn't even eat the most important New Year's Eve dinner of the year.
Two large food boxes woven from bamboo and as thick as barrels appeared in front of Liang's eyes and were placed in front of him.
Also appearing with it were two human legs.
After the food box was placed on the ground, the two legs bent down, and a person appeared in front of Liang's eyes.
Han Cheng stretched out his hand to open the lid of the food box and said to Liang with a smile: "How are you? Are you exhausted?"
Then take out the contents of the double-layered food box one by one and place them on the ground.
The food taken out of the food box is steaming hot, and you can tell at a glance that it has been well preserved.
It is most likely that I have been kept in the pot before.
Han Cheng brought out a lot of dishes, eight plates in total.
There are at least two dishes on each plate.
These are the kind of dishes that have never been eaten before.
This was what Han Cheng deliberately left for Liang and the medical staff who were busy in the delivery room before the New Year's Eve dinner.
After Han Cheng opened these and put them down, another person came over. This person was holding an anti-slip crutch in one hand and a large food box in the other hand.
This man is no one else, but a witch.
Han Cheng didn't want Wu to do these things, but Wu refused and insisted on doing it, wanting to do something for the children in the tribe.
He came over, put the food box on the ground, and put the crutches on the ground, then opened it and took out the food inside with his striped hands.
Liang and the three nurses who were called out by Han Cheng were already flattered and moved when they saw the meals Han Cheng brought. At this time, they saw the old Wu Ye trampling on the snow.
When I came here, I was even more excited and moved.
Looking at the food in front of them, as well as the extremely respected Shenzi and Shaman in the tribe, everyone including Liang couldn't help but feel their eyes burning.
"God, son of God, witch, this, this..."
They stood up from the ground excitedly, not knowing what to say.
Han Cheng waved his hands repeatedly: "Hurry up and eat it while it's hot. It's specially covered in the pot for you. It's cold and it won't taste good when it's cold."
As he spoke, he put chopsticks into the hands of several people.
Then, like a magic trick, he took out two sealed gourds from the big pocket of his clothes.
The gourd contains wine.
Han Cheng uncorked the gourd and poured some turbid wine into several bowls.
Then push the wine bowls to the others one by one.
"Come, let's have a drink."
Han Cheng took the lead in picking up the wine bowl and greeted Liang and the others with a smile.
Several people picked up their wine bowls, including the young man who had just become a father. Han Cheng called him over.
This guy has been waiting outside the delivery room since his wife entered the delivery room, and he has not eaten the New Year's Eve dinner.
With a bang, several wine bowls collided together, making some noises. After they were separated, the slightly sour wine contained in them was poured into their mouths.
Han Cheng put down the wine bowl in his hand, and Wu also put down the wine bowl. The wine in it was gone.
This is not because they drink well, but because Han Cheng's wine bowl only contains half a bowl of wine, and the witch wine bowl contains even less wine.
"You eat, we'll go somewhere else."
After putting down the wine bowl, Han Chenggong stood up and said this to Liang and others. Then he and Wu walked into the delivery room to see the baby.
He could already tell that with the two of them here, it was uncomfortable for a few people to be formal and uncomfortable eating.
Liang is better, after all, he is the old man in the tribe, and the other few are not.
At this time, Han Cheng naturally couldn't stay here any longer, affecting the food of several people who had worked hard for so long.
Sure enough, after the two of them left, the few of them started to eat and immediately relaxed a lot.
Chewing the still-warm braised pork in her mouth, a nurse's big eyes couldn't help but turn into crescents.
This feeling of being cared about and remembered is really good.
Han Cheng and Wu walked into the delivery room.
In the delivery room, a young woman who had just given birth not long ago was sitting there eating egg tea.
There is sugar in it. For the people in the tribe, this is also the best food made with the best ingredients.
"You eat, you eat, we come in and see the child."
Han Cheng signaled that he was very excited when he saw the two of them come in, and he wanted to put the bowl aside. The new mother who had finished eating waved her hands repeatedly, indicating that she should not get up and continue eating.
Then he hugged the little baby from the side.
Han Cheng is the father of three children. Although he was not in the main tribe and did not take care of the third little boy before, he still has experience in holding children.
It's very easy to hold him now, and he won't hold the child like a time bomb like the father did.
The newborn little one couldn't see where to go and was sleeping soundly at this time.
Even so, Han Cheng couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at this newborn little guy.
Perhaps every new baby represents new hope with infinite possibilities!
After watching the child here for a while, Han Cheng and Wu did not stay here for too long. They quickly put it down, returned it to his mother, and left from here.
…
"Bang bang bang..."
In the courtyard where no firecrackers had sounded for a long time, a series of firecrackers sounded again.
Along with it, there were loud sounds of gongs and drums.
The Qingque tribe, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly became lively.
This means that the time has basically reached near zero.
Han Cheng, who was sitting in the shed outside the courtyard and warming himself by the fire, stopped knocking pine cones after hearing this noise, walked out of the shed and came to the courtyard to watch the people in the tribe being busy here.
The early morning has arrived, which means that the fourteenth year of Qingque is completely over, and the new fifteenth year of Qingque has arrived.
It’s a new year again!
Han Cheng stood here, looking at the scene in front of him, thinking about the meaning of this scene, and his mood fluctuated for a while.
This Chinese New Year, I still haven’t had any dumplings...
After such thoughts arose in his mind, Han Cheng, who had seemed a little high-spirited and excited just now, suddenly looked a little downcast.
The child who was just two or three hours old is now... two years old!
Don't be surprised that a child who was just a few hours old suddenly turns two years old.
Because according to the calculation of Han Cheng's hometown, he is indeed two years old.
Because these few hours after the birth of this little baby have already passed a year, which is equivalent to two years.
Two years later, it is natural that he is two years old.
Of course, the method of calculating age here is fictitious. It is calculated based on years, and there will definitely be some discrepancies between it and the actual age.
Generally speaking, under this algorithm for calculating age, children born closer to the Chinese New Year will suffer more because their virtual age is too large.
Just like this newly born child, he was born only a few hours ago, but according to this calculation, he is already two years old...
Move forward in time and change the location to another place.
The cold wind howled, picking up some fine snow foam on the ground and beating it around randomly, penetrating everywhere.
There was a fire in the cave, and the light of the fire was flickering.
The entrance of the cave was blocked with stone slabs and other things, but there was still a chill coming from the entrance.
People who were sitting around the fire or sleeping were all curled up without exception.
Even with the three layers of protection of caves, fires and animal skins wrapped around them, they still couldn't bring them much warmth.
This is not because these three things are not available, or because the weather is too cold, but because there is no food in their stomachs.
People who are hungry can easily feel cold.
Especially in cold weather.
In this wordless silence, a man stood up and walked to a place in the cave.
This is where the tribe stores food.
Looking at the food stored here, this leader-like man struggled for a while, and after swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, he retreated from here again and sat by the fire.
Those who looked at the leader with hopeful eyes because the leader stood up, with bright eyes and full of expectation, could not help but swallow some saliva after seeing such a scene.
His eyes became dim again as the saliva was swallowed.
“@#a@23青鸟……”
After a more silent atmosphere remained for a while, someone couldn't help but say this, breaking the atmosphere.
After these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but raise their heads.
Some people turned their eyes to the leader of their tribe, some people turned their eyes to the person who spoke, and some people's eyes turned back and forth between the two.
"@@wd!"
The leader of this tribe was furious when he heard this man's words. He suddenly raised his arm and slapped the man.
After all, this slap did not hit this man.
He stopped when he was still some distance away from this person.
After a slight stalemate in the air for a while, it hung weakly.
“@#sw##青鸟@3……”
After seeing the leader's reaction, the man continued to speak, and the words he spoke contained even more information.
“wsww#青鸟%……”
This man's opening seemed to open a new door for everyone present, and seemed to dispel the concerns of many of them.
Many people started talking.
What he said is still related to the Qingque tribe.
Their leader sat here, staring at the fire in silence.
After doing this for a while, the man suddenly stood up and walked towards the place where the food was stored again.
He stood here, let out a long breath, then bent down and took out a lot of food, let people cook it in the clay pots exchanged from the Qingque tribe, and let everyone eat it.
A full meal.
It's the kind that you can open your belly and eat hard.
He looked like he was having a rough time.
As soon as the food went into their stomachs, everyone no longer felt cold.
Not only that, many people even broke out in sweat.
“#￥w@ss……”
After eating the food, the leader of the tribe took out the remaining food while talking, about one third of it was taken out.
