The cold winter night is silent all around. Only the barking of the dogs in the village could be heard clearly. Occasionally, the howl of a seeping wolf came from afar in the mountains.

Li Ziyu didn't feel it at all, and walked down the hillside in the direction of her home, feeling a little heavy.

The living environment in ancient times was too poor. Of course, she is not referring to the natural environment, but to the medical environment. The medical conditions here are still very backward, and simple diseases can be fatal if they are not treated in time. This is one of the reasons why she insists on letting her younger siblings learn martial arts.

Uncle Yang's illness is not difficult to treat at all, and he can only wait for death here. However, although she does not know medical skills, she has a herbal medicine recipe for tuberculosis.

Her father in modern times had tuberculosis when she was fifteen years old. At that time, she had not yet enlisted in the army, so she remembers it very well.

It was an old Chinese medicine doctor who treated my father. That's because I'm young and don't have much of a city, I only know that the old Chinese medicine doctor looked at the prescription when he went, as if he was afraid that he had prescribed the wrong prescription.

Dad's illness at that time was not serious at first, but Dad hated work very much for everything. Hate work is our local language, that is, we can't wait to finish all the work at once. I rushed to do everything when I didn't get better, but it happened again.

In short, it has gone through three stages: early, middle and late. If it weren't for the old Chinese medicine doctor who used home remedies, Dad's life would have been explained.

And now Uncle Yang's symptoms are obvious to the middle and late stages. If you don't treat it, it's really over. But to no avail if she had a prescription, there was a herb in it that was very hard to find, and I didn't know if it was here. Alas. Do your best and let God do your best. If Uncle Yang had a big life, Xu would be able to find that herb. If you can't find it

Li Ziyu returned home with a heavy heart and walked into the courtyard. I packed up my mood and acted as if nothing happened. No one could tell that she was in a bad mood.

The younger siblings were all beaming for the New Year, and she didn't want to spoil the atmosphere.

Back at home, Li Ziyu cooked dumplings.

It's the end of the day and the beginning of the day, and it's almost nine o'clock in the evening in modern times. Li Ziyu didn't really want to wait until midnight to eat dumplings, it was too late for her younger brothers and sisters to wait, and few of them were willing to eat again.

There are quite a few dumplings today. Li Ziyu originally planned to save some of it for tomorrow morning. This is the rule of her hometown in modern times, and it may also be a custom left over from her previous life.

Now she plans to cook it all, except for what the family eats. The rest of the dumplings were sent to Aunt Yang's family. Even if she sent the meat and vegetables over, it would be too late to make dumplings. Besides, there may not be white noodles in her house. Alas, where did she think that Uncle Yang was in such a situation? If only I had known. She'll definitely reach out early. Uncle Yang wouldn't have suffered so many crimes.

Li Ziyu, Li Luo, and Xiaoou were busy in the kitchen. Xiaoshan: They were still chattering couplets in the East House. Listening to their discussions, it seems that when they greet the New Year tomorrow morning, each family will send a couplet.

Li Ziyu didn't intervene. Finally, the younger siblings have such a high interest, so let them be. It's not a bad thing to send a couplet to each family, not only to bring each other closer, but also to show the talents of the younger siblings. Why not?

The dumplings are cooked in a short time, and the steaming look makes you have an appetite.

Li Ziyu fished out a large pot of dumplings. Cover with a clean cloth towel and add a layer of cotton pads on top. That's when he called Xiaoshan over. Let him send the dumplings to Aunt Yang's house. By the way, tell the step nine and step ten on the tree to come back for dinner.

Li Ziyu took Li Luo and Xiaoou to set up the tables and chairs, and divided the people into two tables. She took Xiaolan and Li Luo's mother and daughter to eat on the kang, and Xiaoshan ate them at the dining table in the hall.

After tidying up the table, Xiaoshan entered the house with Bujiu and Bujiu and Buten.

Li Ziyu took advantage of everyone's presence in the hall and said to everyone gratefully: "Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the new year." Since the death of my father, our six siblings have been alone for the New Year. Two step brothers! Aunt Li! Sister Ou! With you accompanying us for this year today, our brothers and sisters feel relied on and no longer feel lonely. I hope you don't spend your last year in my house, and I hope you will make this your home and have a happy New Year! All right. That's all I have to say, everyone eat! ”

After Li Ziyu finished speaking, she beckoned everyone to take their seats and start eating.

Although everyone ate a hard lunch, it was almost late at night, and everyone was already hungry. Coupled with a meatball, watery, fragrant leek stuffed dumpling, it's really delicious. So everyone quickly immersed themselves in the joy of tasting and enjoying the food, and the meal was quickly finished.

After the meal, Li Ziyu helped Li Luo and Xiaoou wash the dishes and chopsticks. Everyone washed up and went to bed quickly.

Early the next morning, after everyone's morning exercise, they led the curly-haired lion to the river down the hillside for a walk. After returning for a brief breakfast.

Li Ziyu and her younger siblings have all changed into new clothes, new shoes, and new socks, which is really a new look. Of course, Li Luo and Xiao Ou also put on new clothes. Everyone's faces were filled with the joy of celebrating the New Year.

It's just that Li Ziyu's clothes feel a little tight. She remembered that when Ga Ziniang made clothes, they left a surplus for their clothes, and they grew a small section, so she was afraid that they would not be able to wear their clothes when they grew tall. Now she is dressed a little tightly, does it mean that she has grown taller? Haha, she will be twelve years old after the New Year, and it is time to grow taller.

She looked back at Xiaoshan and their new clothes and saw that they were just right. Well, it's a good thing, the younger siblings have also grown up.

Step 9 and Step 10 also shared a new set of clothes, which surprised them very much. This is what Li Ziyu and the others ordered Li Luo to do after they came. I can't wear new clothes for the New Year, but they don't.

After changing into new clothes, Li Ziyu began to pay New Year's money. Xiaoshan and Xiaowen each have one tael of silver, Xiaowu has five hundred big money, and Xiaohu and Xiaolan have three hundred big money each. The New Year's money is wrapped in red paper, and the heavy pressure is also gratifying.

Xiaoshan, the first time they have New Year's money when they are so big, they can't help but show surprise on their faces. The three little ones didn't think that their New Year's money was less, but carefully held the New Year's money in their arms, lest one accidentally disappear.

Li Ziyu saw their reactions in her eyes, and felt sad in her heart. Secretly made up his mind that he must give them some pocket money in the future. You can't have nothing on you, and you can't deal with it if something happens.

After sending the New Year's money to her younger siblings, Li Ziyu then gave Li Luo, Xiaoou, Bu Jiu, and Bu Shi New Year's money. Each of them was two taels of silver, and they were all wrapped in red paper.

Li Ziyu said: "I know that you are all my elders, and it seems that it is a little inappropriate for me to give the New Year's money. But at present, I am in charge of this family, so I have to sneer at the face and become an adult, and please Haihan if there is disrespect. Each of you is two taels of silver, and I know that there is not much money, which is a heart. I hope you don't have too little, when I earn more money this year, I will definitely give you a big red envelope! ”

After Li Ziyu finished speaking, he finished distributing the four red envelopes in his hand. Although Li Luo and the others were not embarrassed, they still took the money.

Li Ziyu said it very clearly, it is a heart. They can't live up to that.

Li Ziyu opened the wooden box, took out all the sugar cubes and melon seeds that Bu Shi bought from the town, packed them in a small bamboo basket, and put them on the Xiwu kang.

The custom women here do not pay New Year's greetings, so Li Ziyu does not have to go to the New Year. As for Xiaolan, she is still young, so she can follow along to join in the fun.

So, under the leadership of Xiaoshan, a group of little people walked towards the village with the couplet written yesterday in their hands.

Step 9 and Step 10 discussed, and Step 9 followed everyone to pay New Year's greetings, and Step 10 stayed at home.
