"Brother, where's the red envelope for me?

Xu Huai had just dressed the little girl in the new clothes she bought at the bazaar, and the little girl stretched out her little hand when she got out of bed and asked Xu Huai for a red envelope.

"You girl,...... I can't wait!" Xu Huai smiled, took out a red envelope from his arms, and handed it to the little girl.

The red envelope is not big, there is only ninety-nine yuan in it, which means that it will last a long time and be healthy for a lifetime, and the per capita income here is not very high, so everyone invariably controls the amount of the red envelope within a certain range.

The little girl jumped up, and before she brushed her teeth and washed her face, she trotted all the way to Lao Dao's room, and after seeing Lao Dao in the room, she was relieved to wash.

No way, the last time Lao Dao left in the middle of the night, he didn't greet anyone with him, leaving only the two brothers and sisters, which not only broke the little girl's heart, but also made Xu Huai miserable.

Fortunately, a few days later, Ning Shuxue went up the mountain, which attracted the girl's attention, otherwise, Xu Huai would be a little affected.

On the dinner table, there is a large bowl of dumplings, which contains all kinds of fillings, including red beans, bean paste, pork belly, and beef.........

Because it is the first day of the Lunar New Year and the first day of the New Year, the traditional custom here in Kunlun Mountain is to eat dumplings on the morning of this day.

Dumplings represent "Jiaozi", with the meaning of "Jiaozi", at the time of "Jiaozi", at the turn of the New Year, it represents reunion, family happiness!

At the same time, the word "dumplings" also has an old origin, and the "Guangya" written by Zhang Yi of the Wei people of the Three Kingdoms records that there were already foods called "wontons" shaped like crescents at that time, which are basically similar to the shape of dumplings today.

By the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the wonton was "shaped like a glaive moon, and the whole world was eating".

It is speculated that after the dumplings were cooked, they were not eaten separately, but mixed with the soup in a bowl, so people at that time called the dumplings "wontons".

Around the Tang Dynasty, dumplings had become exactly the same as today's dumplings, and they were fished out and eaten separately on a plate.

The Song Dynasty called dumplings "dumpling ears", which is also the etymology of the word "dumplings" in later generations.

After eating,

Before the little girl opened her mouth,

Lao Dao first took out a small cloth bag from his arms, which contained the little girl's New Year's money!

"Xiaoxian, come, grandpa will give you New Year's money, so that our Xiaoxian will always be happy and happy every day!"

"Thank you, Grandpa!! "The little girl took it and shouted crisply.

Then, after Xu Huai cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, he took the little girl who had been tossing down the mountain.

In the village, it belongs to the old man Wang's family and Xu Huai's brothers and sisters are close, after all, the little girl grew up eating the milk of the Wang family since she was a child, and the old man Wang can be regarded as half of the little girl's grandfather.

No, Xu Huai was carrying a large bag of things in his hand, which contained some New Year's goods and dried herbs made by himself, which were intended to be brought to Old Man Wang to recuperate.

As the days passed, Mr. Wang's age gradually got older.

Although the old man Wang knows a little about the art of health preservation, and his body is still tough in his ancient years, but after all, he can't withstand the power of the long years, and Xu Huai is just using herbs to delay the time of its effect.

After going down the mountain, Xu Huai took the little girl and walked straight to Old Man Wang's house.

At the door, Xu Huai directly carried things and walked in with the little girl.

"Grandpa Wang, Xiaoxian has come to greet you for the New Year!" As soon as she stepped two steps into the door, the little girl opened her throat and shouted.

When the people in the house heard the movement, they came out one after another.

"Haha, it's Xiaoxian, Xiaoxian has come to pay New Year's greetings to grandpa, grandpa is so happy, come, Xiaoxian, grandpa will give you New Year's money. ”

As he spoke, Old Man Wang took out a red envelope from the pocket of his jacket and put it in the little girl's purse.

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang!" the little girl replied sweetly.

"Haha, no thanks, no thanks, the little fairy is so good!"

When Wang Lao heard that the little girl was so sensible, he couldn't stop laughing.

"Old man Wang, the kid is here to greet you today, I wish you good health and happiness in the new year!!"

Xu Huai stepped forward and greeted Old Man Wang.

"Good! good!"

It can be seen that the old man is very happy today, and even said a few good words.

After that, Xu Huai chatted with Mr. Wang in Wang's hometown for a while, and then put the little girl in Wang's house, every year, the little girl is in the village, which is considered to be Wang's family.

After waiting for the old man to be ready, he has to take the little girl to visit the door!

As for Xu Huai himself, he returned to the mountain again, after all, Shu Xue is coming back today to complete the apprenticeship ceremony, and it is estimated that her parents will also come with her, if Xu Huai is not at home at that time, it will not be good if he loses his manners.

On the mountain,

By the stone table in the courtyard,

"Old man, I always have a feeling that something is not quite right this day, inexplicable palpitations!" Xu Huai sat cross-legged on the stone bench in a plain robe, raised his head, looked at the clear sky, and asked.

I'm afraid this day is not simple, a few years ago, it almost didn't stop raining and snowing, just after 30, the first day of the new year ushered in a sunny day, not to mention, the snow that has not melted for many days has all melted today. ”

"If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!"

Lao Dao picked up a cup of fragrant tea with one hand, moistened his lips slightly, took a small sip, and said leisurely.

then

The two discussed this topic, quoted scriptures, and exchanged experiences.

About an hour later,

There was finally movement outside the Xu family's courtyard,

I saw Ning Shuxue, who was wearing a plush white down jacket and a Hello kitty. headdress on her head, walking in from the door, followed by Ning Fangguo and his wife, and the bodyguard brother who was reduced to carrying things.

"Master, I'm back. ”

Ning Shuxue walked up to Xu Huai in one step, greeted happily, and a smile bloomed on her face, and she could see that she was very happy after returning to the mountain.

"Doctor Xu, our family is here to disturb you again. ”

Ning Fangguo and his wife are not as open as Ning Shuxue, although they heard that their daughter was taken under the door by the previous master, and they did hear their daughter calling Master just now, which undoubtedly confirmed this.

But no matter what, in front of such a master, Ning Fangguo and his wife couldn't let go very much.

It's like a daughter who is not an ordinary person marries into a wealthy family, although she hears that her daughter is doing well, but in the face of her in-laws, she will always be a little weak and feel cold.

"Don't be so polite! I believe Shu Xue also told you, I have already taken her under the door! Now she is also a member of the Xu family!"
