Earth's Overworld.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. At this moment, the whole country of China celebrates, and the air is filled with a lively and festive atmosphere......

Today is Chinese New Year's Eve.

It is a joyful and peaceful festival, a day of family reunion, a carnival and an eternal spiritual pillar for people to express their yearning for happiness and freedom.

However, on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Xia Haoran was not at home.

This is the fourth time that Xia Haoran has not spent Chinese New Year's Eve at home since he embarked on the path of cultivation.

If in the past, for the obedient Xia Haoran, not spending Chinese New Year's Eve at home, it would be absolutely impossible to happen. But last time, because he wanted to comprehend the power of the five elements, he spent more than three years in a single retreat.

And this retreat was even more forced.

The cultivation of the basic mental method "Five Elements Cheats" has reached the end of the transformation period. And if you want to continue to move forward on the path of cultivation, it is imperative to change to a more advanced "Firmament Battle Technique"!

"Sister Yaoyao, Brother Haoran won't come back for Chinese New Year's Eve this year, right?"

"What's the matter, Xiaobai, are you thinking about your brother Haoran?" Li Mengyao lightly nodded Xiaobai's head, smiled slightly and said: "With me, your uncles and aunts, and big flowers and small flowers to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with you this year, aren't you satisfied?" Speaking of this, Li Mengyao's heart was also a burst of longing, and she secretly thought to herself: "I don't know how Haoran's cultivation is now, and now fifteen months have passed in a blink of an eye......

"Uh...... Isn't that Brother Haoran unable to eat the dumplings made by his aunt again, should we leave some for him?" asked Xiaobai with a tilted head.

Maybe it's because they've lived with Xia Haoran for a long time, and the little guy has a soft spot for all kinds of food in human society. Just like Xia Haoran once said, people don't live just to eat.

Although Xia Haoran, Li Mengyao, or Xiaobai's current cultivation realm is in the realm, it is not a problem to not eat anything for ten days and a half months. But it's the same thing, if you really do that, won't life lose its original joy?

"When your brother Haoran comes back, Auntie will wrap him up again. Lin Shufen on the sofa took the words and said with a smile, and then she shook her head again and buried herself: "This stinky boy, I don't know which wilderness this will nest in again, this is Chinese New Year's Eve and I won't call home to come back." ”

The melancholy on Li Mengyao's face flashed away, and just as she was about to open her mouth to comfort Lin Shufen, at this moment, the doorbell outside suddenly rang.

"Is Haoran back? Or are the big sisters coming? Yaoyao, take a look. Lin Shufen suddenly said excitedly.

Li Mengyao shook her head slightly, and under her divine sense, she saw Zhang Chuan standing at the door carrying a snakeskin bag.

This is?

Deer?

Li Mengyao was slightly stunned, but she still stepped forward quickly and opened the door.

"Hello master, hello grandmother!" Zhang Chuan greeted Li Mengyao at the door and Lin Shufen on the sofa, and then walked in with a snakeskin bag.

"It's Xiao Zhang, you can come and see us, why don't you take anything? Don't do this again next time!" Lin Shufen was secretly disappointed when she saw that it was Zhang Chuan who came in at the door, but she still stood up and said.

Xia Haoran accepted Zhang Chuan as a registered disciple, and Lin Shufen and Xia Guohao both knew about it, so at this moment, the other party called her "grandmother", and Lin Shufen was not surprised.

"Well, isn't this the New Year, I brought some good things for my grandmother to try. Zhang Chuan scratched his head and said, "Senior grandmother, I put this thing directly in the kitchen, this thing seems to be still oozing blood." ”

"Ah, what is this?"

Lin Shufen saw the tightly tied snakeskin bag that Zhang Chuan was carrying on her shoulder, she only smelled a smell of meat, and thought that the other party had sent a few catties of pig's head meat. But suddenly I heard that it was still oozing blood, so I asked suspiciously.

"Isn't it just venison, an ordinary sika venison. Xiaobai, who was nesting on the sofa, rolled her eyelids, screamed angrily, and then continued her film career.

At this time, Xia Guohao heard that there were guests at home, and he also walked down from the study on the second floor. When he heard Xiaobai's words, he was shocked, and hurriedly said: "How can this sika deer be eaten, this is a crime!"

"Master!" Zhang Chuan said hello and said with a smile: "It's okay Master, I asked a friend to get it from the police station." As for the group that illegally killed and sold sika deer, they had already been arrested, and the group of sika deer had already died when they were seized, and it would be a pity to throw them away, so those friends from the police station were separated. And I was lucky enough to get one, and it was fine. ”

In fact, as Zhang Chuan said, it is basically an unspoken rule within the police station.

Usually the police confiscate wild protected animals, except for a few specific species that are sent to the research institute, and most of them are distributed by their internal personnel.

In fact, not only wild protected animals, including smuggling, some prohibited items, etc., will also be intercepted by insiders for their own enjoyment or in exchange for a certain amount of team building funds.

Li Mengyao didn't speak, and even Xiaobai showed an uncaring look, because on the way Xia Haoran took them out to play, he didn't know how much "precious" game he barbecued.

In the eyes of real foodies, there is only fatty, tender and delicious barbecue, regardless of whether it is illegal or not.

"Come, Xiao Zhang, let's go to the living room to drink water. Xia Guohao said with a smile: "Just throw those things there first, let your sister and grandmother clean them up." ”

"Thank you, Master!" Zhang Chuan nodded and said, "By the way, hasn't my master come back yet?"

"Your master......" Xia Guohao shook his head and said, "Haoran, that kid, I don't know which corner I hid in this time to retreat and cultivate." It's been fifteen months now, and I don't even have a phone call. ”

"Ding Dong!"

At this moment, a text message rang from the phone in Li Mengyao's pocket.

Li Mengyao's consciousness swept away, and it turned out to be a message from Xia Haoran. I didn't say much, but I reported peace and wished everyone a happy new year, and in addition, the cultivation task of this trip was successfully completed!

"Dad, Mom, Haoran sent me a message. ”

Li Mengyao suddenly jumped up happily and shouted: "Haoran is not in the wilderness now, he will be in a fellow countryman's house." ”

At the foot of Changbai Mountain.

Xia Haoran stepped on the 'squeak' and 'squeak' snow, carrying a badger on his shoulder, three hares, and several turkeys in his hands, knocking on the door of a fellow countryman.

Build a fire!

Of course, this is not about building a fire to live, but about adding a pair of chopsticks and a bowl.

Nowadays, many urban white-collar workers, or those tasteful literary and artistic youths, often do not choose to settle in those high-end hotels and guesthouses when they go out to play, but "build a fire" with local farmers.

This kind of partnership is not to save money, but to fully enjoy the tour, to experience and feel the local customs......

The villagers are very enthusiastic, but the atmosphere of the Spring Festival in their family is not very strong. Because, the young people in the family went out to work and did not come back during the Spring Festival, which may be a small regret.

Over the past few decades, with the further advancement of reform and opening up, economic construction has become the main theme of society. More and more people from rural areas are flocking to cities, and in order to make a living, some people will be away for a few years, and some people may be away for most of their lives.

Left-behind elderly and left-behind children have become a social problem, and the situation of not being able to go home for the New Year is also becoming more and more serious!

Can't buy a ticket?

Can't get paid?

Year-round shifts?

Revolutionary work, the division of labor is different. Someone reuniting means that someone can't go home for the New Year. And for those who can't go home, they have long been accustomed to wandering, but the loss in their hearts is still unstoppable.

There are four people in the villager's family.

An old man in his seventies, but his health is still healthy, and he belongs to the old age and strength, an old couple in his fifties, they are the son and daughter-in-law of the old man, and in addition, there is a little girl in her teens.

If you count the parents of the little girl who is working abroad, this family is also four generations in the same house.

"Uncle, do you know about the Beauty Group?"

Xia Haoran took a hot bath, got rid of the wind and frost all over his body, and was about to be invited by the old man to eat on the kang, the little girl stared at Xia Haoran for a long time, and asked out loud.

"Oh?" Xia Haoran was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile and said, "Beauty Group, I know." ”

"Then are you Xia Haoran?" the little girl continued to ask.

"Do you know me?" said Xia Haoran, pointing to his nose.

At this moment, it was Xia Haoran's turn to be surprised!

You must know that he is not the kind of celebrity who is popular, and coupled with his always low-key style, he is not a well-known public figure of all ages.

The three people next to them looked at the little girl, and then at Xia Haoran, staring at each other with big eyes, their faces full of doubts and puzzlement.

"Uncle, it seems that you are really Xia Haoran!" The little girl suddenly jumped up excitedly, clapped her hands happily and said: "When school starts, I will definitely tell my classmates that you are celebrating the New Year at my house, and they will definitely envy me." ”

"Little girl, why is this?" Xia Haoran was also full of confusion, and said, "Also, you didn't tell me just now, how did you know me?"

"Uncle, you live in the teaching building and library of our school. The building is old and beautiful, and there is no need to worry about it collapsing if it rains. Our teacher said, uncle, you are not only the head of the beauty group, but also a great philanthropist. Not only have you built countless school buildings and libraries across the country, but you have also sponsored countless poor students who don't have the money to go to college. ”

After a slight pause, the little girl tilted her head and continued: "In addition, the teacher also told us that as long as we study hard and make progress every day, we will be admitted to university in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Xia Haoran was roughly clear in his heart.

At the same time, the eyes of the other three people in the room who looked at Xia Haoran also changed. Although the people in the mountains don't know anything about philanthropists and bursaries, they have seen the beautiful buildings of the Little Girl School with their own eyes, and they know that they are built by a kind person.
