Chapter 354 The Dragon Raises Its Head

After Niu Dahai left, Han Li put the gun aside and sat in the health room without moving.

To clean the gun oil, you not only need to use hot water, but you also need to take it all apart and dry it, and then apply oil to the special parts again before it can be assembled.

It's better to leave such troublesome things to them after your wives get up. Just think of finding something for them to do.

At the Shanghe Village Committee, Village Chief Zhao answered Gan Ziquan's phone call and started to sneer.

"I said Lao Gan, it seems that people can really change in this office. You are becoming less and less authentic now. Years ago, I went to the commune to call you and told you the needed medicinal materials at that time. Damn it, I also reminded you that those medicines were prepared by Han Li.

As a result, you didn’t even get a P before the year, not to mention giving Han Li some extra hard work, and even the medicinal materials they helped you with were gone. Everyone knows that the end of the year is sad, so everyone will clear their accounts at the end of the year to celebrate the new year, but you What kind of thing are you doing? Use people to face the front rather than people to the back, right? "

Gan Ziquan listened to Zhao Shengli's sarcasm on the other end of the phone, which was like a machine gun, and he felt a little bit dumbfounded. This guy still has the same temper despite his age.

A few years ago, I went on a business trip with the director. I didn't have time to send things over, and I forgot to ask other people to help me send them. Generally speaking, what I did was a bit unethical, and I deserved to be insulted now.

So Gan Ziquan could only explain over and over again on the phone, and then Village Chief Zhao stopped yelling at him.

Next, Gan Ziquan talked about some of the things he had seen along the way, as well as possible changes this year. Finally, he hung up the phone on the medicinal materials and gifts he had sent. Village Chief Zhao sat in the room and smoked two packs of cigarettes. Then he got up and went home.

Because Han Li obtained the medical certificate, the previous titles of Han educated youth and Korean health worker became Doctor Han in the mouths of the villagers.

Time sometimes passes very quickly, and tomorrow is the day when the dragon raises its head on the second day of February.

This day is the season of the year when Yang Qi rises and turbid Qi declines. It is also the day when the dragon raises its head.

At the same time, it also heralds the arrival of the twenty-fourth solar term "Jingzheng", signaling the return of spring to the earth, warming temperatures, increased rainfall, and the beginning of the recovery of all things.

At the same time, it also heralds that everyone's "cat winter" days are coming to an end, because it means that the time for spring plowing is not far away. Everyone restrains their temper and laziness and starts to prepare for this year's production work intermittently.

As the saying goes: On February 1st, the dragon opens its eyes; on February 2nd, the dragon raises its head; on February 3rd, the dragon sweats.

Today is the day when children in the village can get their hair cut, commonly known as "faucet haircut".

On the one hand, it means getting rid of the old and welcoming the new. On the other hand, it means being full of energy and vitality in the new year.

In some places among the people, it was once popular to cut a little boy's "dragon head" today, leaving a strand of hair in the hollow of the neck, which is called "dragon tail".

It is said that children with such hairstyles are "easy to make a living" by not causing trouble, and can drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters.

Of course, here we also talk about eating on February 2, because pig head meat and dumplings must be eaten on this day in the local area.

There are two opinions on eating pig head meat. One is passed down from ancient times during sacrifices.

Some people say that people use pig heads instead of dragon heads because the pig head is the essence of the pig. It is not only the most delicious but also the most nutritious part, so pig heads are used in sacrifices.

Therefore, on February 2, roasting pig heads and eating pig head meat means that this year will be prosperous and peaceful, with good weather and good harvests.

Of course, there is a more down-to-earth saying, that is, during the winter season, cats eat all the meat on the pigs, and by February 2, only the pig heads are left, so they can only eat pig head meat on this day.

Those who can afford it will roast a whole pig's head at the door and take it home to eat. Those who are less able will find a way to get some pig head meat back.

As for eating dumplings on February 2nd, it means eating "dragon ears", which means wishing for good health and good hearing and eyesight.

Han Li was not idle these days. He made the first batch of beauty ointments.

Since the main effect of this prescription is to make the skin tender, Han Li named it "Skin Rejuvenation Cream".

In addition, Wang Chunhua said that since the last time she treated Zhang Qianying through the wall, Wang Chunhua had certain results.

So she invited Han Li to her home several times to deepen the therapeutic effect. His favorite part was still tearing off the clothes.

In order to prevent it from being torn apart in the future, Han Li also gave Wang Chunhua a lot of fabrics.

Of course, you also need to buy things like fabrics, needlework, and thread. Han Li is not a stingy person, so of course he will cover all these expenses.

Once, after Han Li treated Zhang Qianying across the wall, Wang Chunhua asked him with a smile.

"Do I feel like you are raising me in an outer room now?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? There is no such thing as an outside room in this era. I just came here to treat your illness, and then I soft-heartedly provided you with some help secretly."

"Yes, your heart is soft, but it's like an iron rod, every time."

Han Li's level of development on He Mi's side is not low. It can be said that he even knows whether there are moles on the soles of his feet.

By the way, Qi Zhaodi's proficiency in stick skills has improved very quickly. Even though she is still skinny now, with a short stick in her hand, an average adult man may not be his opponent.

Of course, in addition to Han Li's careful guidance and Qi Zhaodi's hard practice, this is also a characteristic of the stick. The moon stick, the annual sword, and the lifelong gun are not just for fun.

In addition to the above things, the Yun sisters once again became the object of everyone's envy.

Because the matter of the sales outlet and the sales agent has spread in Shanghe Village, of course there are those who envy and those who are not optimistic. After all, there have been sales agents before, and in the end it is not as comfortable as working on the ground.

But the educated youth will not think so, especially Hao Hongmin, Yang Xiuying, Wu Lili and others who have better family conditions. They also want this job, but it is useless to say anything without connections.

However, they also know that this is Han Li's credit. Hao Hongmin is more reserved and didn't say anything, but there is a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Yang Xiuying, a girl who has been assimilated by the locals, said a few sour words bluntly, which made Han Li think of her when he got this job.

Han Li certainly would not be stingy with such verbal promises. He said a few nice words and Yang Xiuying smiled with satisfaction.

If you want to say what surprised Han Li the most, it was Wu Lili. No one said a few words during the whole winter season. She ran to the health room a lot these two days.

However, Han Li knew who the other party was, so he just maintained his politeness on the surface.

This morning, the three of them sat around the kang table to eat breakfast. The sisters still had a trace of happiness on their faces. Han Li asked while eating.

"What kind of dumplings will we have tomorrow?"

"Brother Li, what kind of filling do you want to eat?"

"Sour cabbage, I heard that people in Shanghe Village almost eat this on February 2nd."

"Then let's prepare the sauerkraut filling."

"Sister Qi has made some progress in practicing sticks recently. Why don't we call her over to eat together tomorrow?"

"Then it's not appropriate to call Sister He?"

"Why not call them together? He Mi is not a stingy person. She won't come empty-handed."

February 2nd, the dragon raises its head.

Today, He Mi and Qi Zhaodi came, and Hou Yuhua, who came here every day to report, was also left behind.

Several of them were roasting the pig heads provided by Han Li in the yard, and laughter came from time to time.

At this time, roasting the pig head depends entirely on feeling. Although it is okay to overcook it a little, everyone still hopes that it will be roasted a little more beautifully.

After roasting, throw it into a large basin and start washing it. After washing it clean, chop it in half with an axe and throw it into the pot to stew.

At this time, the few of them gathered on the kang to make dumplings, and they only needed to pay attention to the firewood for the pig head.

After stewing, they began to remove the bones and eat. Yun Jingjing's stewing skills were really amazing, and Han Li gave her a thumbs up.

After eating and drinking, He Mi and the others helped to clean up the mess and left. Han Li leaned on the kang cabinet and said to the two sisters.

"I heard from the villagers that sowing will be around the end of March, when the ground will thaw and it can start, but in mid-March, the village will start to gather everyone to do some simple work here. This spring plowing and autumn harvest need to rush time, so everyone needs to go to work unless there are special circumstances."

Before Han Li finished speaking, there was a loud shouting sound at the street door.

"Is Health Officer Han at home?"

When he heard this name, he knew that he was not a villager from Shanghe Village, but no matter who it was, Han Li would go out to see.

"Is he at home? Who is he?"

As Han Li said this, he walked out and came to the yard to see two women of different ages standing at the street gate with a child of five or six years old.

"Health Officer Han, we are from Lijiatun. My grandson has been complaining about stomachache. Can you help take a look?"

Lijiatun is not far from Shanghe Village, but it is the first time Han Li has come into contact with people there.

"It's cold outside. Let's go to the clinic to take a good look."

After arriving at the clinic, Han Li held the child's hand and asked while taking his pulse.

"Can you tell me where it hurts?"

This child is not shy at all. He pointed to his stomach and said,

"It hurts here."

Han Li thought it was roundworms at first. Because of living habits and other issues, children now have more roundworms, but when his hand pressed on the child's stomach, the other party immediately began to cry out in pain, and tears were hanging in his eyes.

Han Li's expression changed immediately. He stretched out his mental power to observe and asked the child's parents.

"How many days has the child been in pain?"

"About two or three days. The child often runs around the streets and we didn't pay much attention to it."

Han Li had already discovered the child's condition at this time, but he still had to ask in order to convince the other party.

"Does the child always feel pain or only occasionally? Is it the same every time it hurts like now?"

"Sometimes he will yell about the pain, but it will be fine after the pain passes. He didn't take it seriously. It's just that the pain lasted too long after eating dumplings today. It should be that the dead dough is not easy to digest?"

"What does the child's feces look like? Is there blood in it?"

The young woman who had been silent until now had already felt something was wrong, and she asked nervously.

"He has had diarrhea for the past two days, and the color seems to be a little red. Doctor Han, my child is not seriously ill, right?"

When the young woman said this, the older people next to her also felt that something was wrong.

Bleeding? She remembered that only those with serious illnesses would have blood in their stools, right? At this time, her voice changed.

"Do not scare me, Doctor Han."
