It's been two months since the beginning of winter, and it's New Year's Day soon—this is what Zhou Nan knew from Lao Zheng Tou. In this era, New Year's Day is the official name of the New Year, just like a thousand years later, Zhou Nan traveled through the time and space before and called the New Year on the first day of January in the Gregorian calendar New Year's Day. So when Lao Zheng Tou said that New Year's Day was coming, Zhou Nan suddenly thought that he had traveled back again - Zhou Nan thought he was talking about New Year's Day on the first day of January in the Gregorian calendar, but later realized that people were talking about New Year's Day on the first day of the first lunar month!

Since coming to this time and space, Zhou Nan has almost no concept of time - just like in the era before he crossed over, he threw away his mobile phone and watch - just watching the sunset and moonrise every day, or watching the sun rise and moonset, or like Sun Wukong who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain in the TV series "Journey to the West", watching the flowers bloom and thank, winter goes to spring, and a year has passed. In this era, in this place, time was not measured in seconds and minutes, but in hours and days. In this time and space, there is no mobile phone perpetual calendar that Zhou Nan is used to, there is no festive picture before the Spring Festival on TV, and there is no red New Year's poster dress up on the street and in shopping malls; He only knows that when the winter is very cold, it is almost the New Year.

In the time and space of Zhounan, there were thick down jackets in winter, collective heating, greeting each other during the New Year, eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, watching the Spring Festival Gala, setting off firecrackers, setting off fireworks, and the communication congestion at twelve o'clock at midnight could not be sent. Later, I changed WeChat, and people seemed to be lazy, nesting in their own homes, waiting for the bell to ring at night, and making a group send, and sending back and forth were all copy-and-paste blessings with expressions.

Now, Zhou Nan doesn't feel the feeling of the upcoming New Year at all. In this Taihang Mountain, the grass and trees are withered, the wild beasts are hiding, the weather is surprisingly cold, and the streams on the mountain have long been frozen. Maybe it has something to do with being in the mountains, maybe it's the end of the Xiaoice River period, anyway, it's very cold and cold. At night, in the mountains, looking up, under the ice blue night, the sky is full of stars, the mountains are quiet, there is no sound, and people who have worked all day have gone to bed early. There's no TV, there's no cell phone, there's no radio, everything related to nightlife, there's nothing here. Here, man, as a member of nature, is almost back to basics. Even the work and rest of man have caught up with birds and beasts. Zhou Nan used to think about how people can be like birds, eat before dark at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and then rest and sleep early. The next morning, very early, about five o'clock, I got up with the birds and went around looking for food, maybe it would cure and reduce many modern diseases, right?

Zhou Nan is really a day and a rest time with the birds, the village starts working early every day, men, women and children work together, the craftsmen command, the men do heavy work, the old people hand over a stone, and when it is time to eat, the women led by Gao Yun brought the rice and vegetable hot soup over, ate and drank enough, and began to work in full swing again. They worked until it was time to eat, and then they ate as usual, and after they had eaten, they worked for another hour, and in the evening, when the birds returned to their nests, all the people who worked went home to rest. Zhou Nan spends every day in full swing, and he has to be called to various construction sites from time to time to discuss various details. Although tired, everyone is happy to see the cottage they built slowly taking shape.

At the beginning, when Gao Yuan and Zhou Nan discussed, they decided to cook a meal every day and provide it for the people who worked. Later, I found out that with such a large physical exertion, I have to go home to cook by myself, not to mention the delay in work, and after a long time, people's enthusiasm decreases a lot. Although it is to build a village for everyone, you can benefit, but the situation of each household is different, some people are barely enough for a few people to survive this winter, and then do some heavy work every day, the food at home is bound to be insufficient. So later, as soon as I totaled it, I simply cooked two meals a day, in order to build the village in one go.

In the past two months, Zhou Nan has brought people to capture the wild boar, but he has made a great contribution. There are hundreds of people in the whole village, and a lot of meat alone is needed every day. That time, a lot of wild boars were harvested, and in this cold day, there was meat to eat, so that they could resist the cold more. Beat the boar, and also let the families collect more grain. After raising them for a few months, the more than ten little boars that Zhou Nan and his family had fed at the beginning had grown to 200 catties. The meat I eat every day now is the meat of the slaughtered little mountain boars. Now the people in the village are eating the rice and meat provided by Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan, and there are dozens of catties of wild boar meat in their own homes, as well as more than a dozen tons of grain. So now Zhou Nan is already a well-deserved owner of the village in the hearts of the people of Gaojiazhai, and wherever he goes, Zhou Nan can always get the warm greetings of the hard-working mountain people. Although he is in front of everything and has been the leader of many young people for a long time, Gao Yuan can only get the title of the second village master. Gao Yuan is also willing, he has been inseparable from Zhou Nan in the past few months, Zhou Nan's wit, insight, and character, Gao Yuan is willing to bow down, so he can follow Zhou Nan, and Gao Yuan is also willing. Gao Yuan's most enthusiastic thing is not to work, but after the end of each day's work, he began to arrange for the 30 soldiers in the family protection club to patrol around. Now the worry-free village is like an iron wall.

Zhou Nan during the day is not his own, but he is the only one left at night. In the past few days, it has also snowed heavily, and the cottage covered in silver looks even more lonely and cold, and it is more and more lonely at night. So since Lao Zheng Tou said that it was almost New Year's Day, Zhou Nan simply didn't go home to live, got together with Gao Yuan, and talked at night every day, which made Zhou Nan feel like he had found college for a while. Gao Yun, who lived in another room at the time, laughed at him and Gao Yuan several times, and they were so affectionate all day long. Gao Yuan sometimes doesn't go home, he has to patrol at night, or practice, Zhou Nan is embarrassed to live in Gao Yuan's house, although Gao Yuan said several times that when he was not there, let Zhou Nan still sleep in his room, and take care of Gao Yun, there was a thief incident, Gao Yuan was also afraid. Zhou Nancai agreed - in this lonely deep mountain, the snow is wrapped in the cold house, imagining the two guarding the brazier, the girl opposite holding the tea cup in her hand like snow jade, her eyes and teeth under the lamplight, and her face is like fat jade, such a scene is better than lying on the wall by yourself, right?

This day is Chinese New Year's Eve, from Gao Yun's mouth. Unlike the time and space of Zhou Nan, New Year's Day was requisitioned by the Gregorian calendar, but the saying of Chinese New Year's Eve has not changed for thousands of years, which is inverted with Zhou Nan's habits.

New Year's Day is the beginning of the new year, is the grandest festival in China since ancient times, and the same is true of the Song Dynasty. The first of the year's festivals, this is the first of all". Rich and poor, rich or poor, they will congratulate the New Year in various ways and pray for a new happiness and happy life in the new year. So connivance is in the deep mountains where the world is unheard, Zhou Nan and Gao Yuan discussed it and decided to stop work for three days to celebrate New Year's Day.

Naturally, the people in the village were very happy, and although the common people were accustomed to hard work, no one wanted to carry stones on this important day of praying for happiness in the coming year, and they all went back to clean their homes and prepare for the New Year.
