"Your mother used to be a maid in a big family. It is said that he followed the young lady and married into the family of a big official. This jade lock should have been rewarded by the main family when you were born, right? When the Miao clan entrusted him with the custody of the jade lock, the old patriarch could see at a glance that it was extraordinary. After Miao's death, he also fell into deep entanglements and contradictions.

The Miao clan is obviously guarding against her man, and the existence of the jade lock, in addition to the Miao clan himself, is also known to the old patriarch. If he takes it for himself, he will naturally not be known to others. Especially when Gu Ye'er was rubbed by his stepmother and his life was in jeopardy, he had a moment to think: If Gu Ye'er died like this, wouldn't the jade lock need to be returned?

However, his conscience reminded him all the time that it was against his conscience to do so, and that he would be immersed in the torture of self-blame for the rest of his life, and never think of living a stable life.

Seeing that the Gu Ye brothers and sisters were living a miserable life, the old patriarch knew that even if she returned the jade lock to Gu Ye'er, she would not be able to keep it, and finally cheapened the greedy woman of the Liu family. So, the old patriarch secretly made a decision - if Gu Ye'er was pressed by the Liu family forever and did not have the ability to protect himself and his belongings, this jade lock would always be kept by him.

When Gu Ye'er was adopted by the distant fifth brother of the clan, she was lucky to worship a master with excellent medical skills. The old patriarch began to fall into torment again—will the jade lock be returned, or will it not be returned? Months have passed since this entanglement.

A few days ago, the carload of valuable gifts and supplements made him clearly realize that he, the fifth brother of a distant relative, was far more than a little soldier. Being able to speak in front of the old general, never sparing the money spent on the two children, and the majesty that he reveals from time to time on weekdays, all show that his status in the army is extraordinary.

In addition, Ye'er's girl's master, who can save the young general who made the military doctor helpless, and pick up Zhang Lihu's hamstrings, is definitely at the level of a hidden miracle doctor. Even if Gu Ye'er only learned one-twelfth of his skills, his medical skills were far from being comparable to ordinary doctors. If people eat whole grains, how can they not guarantee that they will not get sick? Befriending a famous doctor can save the lives of yourself and your family when necessary!

After weighing the two sides, the old patriarch finally made the wisest decision. Coincidentally, today involved the Miao family's inheritance, so he took this opportunity to return the jade lock and swaddling clothes to Gu Ye'er.

Seeing the jade lock and the half-old swaddling clothes, Gu Ye suddenly felt that this plot was familiar? In the bloody plots of the previous life, it is not often that the mystery of his own life experience is revealed with swaddling clothes and jade, so as to recognize his biological father and mother, and live the life of a young lady......

Ahem! Sober up! If he was adopted by the Miao family, there would be no news in the village? Gu Qiao's scumbag father, can he not defend himself when everyone accuses him of ignoring his own daughter? Perhaps, as the old patriarch said, it is a gift from the Lord's family! What a generous master, willing to give away mutton fat jade!

However, with such a main family, how can the mother of the original owner be willing to leave and return to this poor country to beg for a living? Gu Ye left the old patriarch's house with a stomach full of doubts.

Returning to his home halfway up the mountain, Gu Ye stuffed the jade lock into his brother's hand: "This jade lock is still worth a few dollars, you keep it as an heirloom of our old Gu family, and pass it on to my eldest nephew when the time comes!" ”

Gu Ming seemed to have got a hot potato, and hurriedly returned it: "The old patriarch said, this is left to you by my mother!" I, who is an older brother, have no good things for you, and if I rob you of your things, what face do I have to be your brother? ”

At a young age, my sister can earn money. As a man, he has to rely on his grandfather and sister to live, which makes Gu Ming very frustrated. He turned this frustration and frustration into motivation to work hard, and he worked harder both in practice and study.

Seeing that his brother's attitude of refusal was very resolute, Gu Ye had no choice but to put away the jade lock and said with a smile: "I'll collect it for my little nephew first, and when the time comes, you won't have a reason to refuse your aunt's gift." ”

Gu Xiao said: "It is said that jade is the most nourishing. Girl, don't keep this jade lock, it's good for your body to wear it. ”

"Yes, yes!" Gu Ming raised her hands in agreement, "The more you wear it, the more moist it is." Go and put on the veil that Aunt Yan made for you, and put it on now. ”

Gu Ye, under the "supervision" of his grandfather and grandson, wore the jade lock around his neck. The jade is warm, moist, like a mother's hand, gentle and warm.

As soon as there was a delay at Gu Qiao's house, it was already close to evening. Xiao Nian has the custom of eating dumplings, and Aunt Yan has already adjusted the filling, just waiting for them to come back to make dumplings. When a family makes dumplings together, there is an atmosphere of the New Year.

Aunt Yan prepared three kinds of dumpling fillings, including three fresh, leek eggs, and cabbage and pork. Outside, the sky was covered with lead-gray clouds. The north wind whistled and blew the dead branches that had lost their leaves. It's cold outside, but in the small kitchen, it's a warm room.

Gu Xiao pinched the dumplings awkwardly, looking at his "works" of different sizes lying crookedly on the board, and his old face couldn't help but blush. Gu Ming was clumsy at the beginning, but later she gradually became proficient, and the dumplings she made became more and more thoughtful. The best craftsmanship is, of course, Aunt Yan, who holds different fillings into three flower-shaped dumplings, which are as beautiful as works of art. It makes people have an appetite when they look at it.

The most shocking thing is Gu Ye's dumplings, which are even more miserable than Gu Xiao's. The dumplings she wrapped, not to mention, some broke their "belly", some opened their mouths, some were simply dough lumps, and some were lying on their stomachs......

Aunt Yan patiently taught her how to pack at first, but later saw that she had no improved works, and her patience ran out and drove her back to the pharmacy to toss her medicines.

Gu Ye looked innocent. In her previous life, she was a cooking idiot, not to mention making dumplings, even if she cooked white porridge, it was difficult to swallow. In the memory of this life, she had eaten dumplings before she was seven years old, and after Liu entered the door, she didn't even let her see the shadow of dumplings, so how could she make dumplings?

It's those dumpling wrappers that can't get along with her all the time, okay? She has studied very seriously, and she can only blame her for not having talent. Alas...... Sure enough, no one is perfect, maybe she lacks the tendon of cooking skills in her mind.

Depressed, Gu Ye closed the door, entered the space, and tossed out many difficult potions in one go, including healing potions that couldn't die after multiple injuries! Bottles of potions were born from her hands, and the frustration of learning to make dumplings has long been replaced by a sense of accomplishment - she is indeed a genius!

When the dumplings came out of the pot, Gu Ming lit firecrackers outside the door, and the crackling sound of firecrackers added the taste of the New Year to the cold and lonely mountain village. The sound of firecrackers in the Gu family is just the beginning. Firecrackers sounded in the village one after another - on Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone who could get by would set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.

Outside, snowflakes fell at some point. Indoors, the family gathered around the kang table and ate hot and fragrant dumplings. Everyone was talking and laughing. Gu Ye's heart, in this festive atmosphere, adds a sense of belonging. After two lives, she finally experienced the warmth of home...... The only regret for her was that her old naughty master couldn't come back to spend the New Year with them.

Twenty-three, sugar melon sticky; twenty-four, sweep the house;

Twenty-five, grinding tofu; Twenty-six, stewed meat;

Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; Twenty-eighth, put the face hair;

Twenty-nine, steamed steamed buns; Thirty nights for the night......

The wind and snow in the next few days did not affect the atmosphere of the New Year in Qingshan Village at all. Families are preparing step by step. By the time Chinese New Year's Eve was thirty, the snow on the ground was knee-deep. The hard-working people of Qingshan Village have swept out the roads leading to every household in the village. Gu Xiao and Gu Ming, the first thing they do when they get up every day is to sweep the snow off the yard and the road in front of the door.

Gu Ye couldn't help much in the kitchen, except for medicine every day, he just made some fresh things, like some ice lamps and plows...... The two horses in her stable, in turn, were dragged out to pull the sled. At the gate of her yard, she keeps coming to see the fresh children all day long.

Gu Ye also turned out a set of ski tools from the space—skis, ski poles, bindings, and the like. When he caught his grandfather free, he let him use relatively strong wood to make several sets of skiing tools.

In his previous life, when Gu Ye was still in school, he was pulled by his classmates to learn skiing. In the ten years of troubled times, I almost never touched it again. However, she is a bit basic, and she is still relatively quick to pick up. After a few falls, she was able to move freely around the village on her skis.

The light movements, skillful skills, and fast speed made the children in the village greedy. They pestered the adults in the family to make them a set of ski tools. Adults who are at home in the winter are also idle. After consulting Gu Wuye, he not only made skis for the children, but also prepared a set for himself for many adults who were playful.

There are more and more adults and children in the village stepping on skis and waving ski poles, which has almost become a unique scenery in Qingshan Village. The village chief grabbed his eldest grandson, took the skis off his feet, and after careful study, he felt that skis were more flexible, convenient and labor-saving than sleds. In the future, even if the mountains are covered by heavy snow, they will no longer be as powerless as before.

Unconsciously, Gu Ye ushered in her first New Year after crossing over. After eating a sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner beautifully, the grandfather and an aunt Yan gathered around the kang table and knocked melon seeds, nibbled on frozen pears, and chattered. In the end, the Medicine Saint failed to come back and celebrated the New Year with the apprentices, which made Gu Ye feel a little lost in his heart. However, grandpa and brother deliberately played treasures, and Aunt Yan's delicious pastries quickly diluted this slight regret.

There is no show for the vigil, and it is easy to get sleepy, so Gu Ye asked his grandfather to cut the bamboo chips, draw a poker deck, and teach everyone to "fight the landlord" and "run fast". The two of them who just learned to play cards, the more they played, the more they played, the more interesting they became, the firecrackers were lit at the time of their childhood, and the dumplings were eaten in the early morning, but they still refused to rest. Gu Ye had to hold his difficult eyelids and play cards with the two of them in a groggy manner.
