Ann quits her job in the city to prepare for the New Year in the countryside.

Although I'm a little sorry for the proprietress who has been taking care of her, the proprietress doesn't seem to care much.

Just like when I took her in before, I simply dismissed her neatly.

It was only when she hung up the phone that she said a word to Amdor.

"When you're older, it's time to learn to take care of yourself, and in the future, when you're alone, don't drink until midnight. ”

Ann replied seriously, and then the other party hung up the phone.

Listening to the empty sound on the phone, Ann laughed alone for a while.

She's so lucky that she always meets the right person.

The New Year is fast, as if the snow has melted a few days later.

The village celebrates the New Year in a very different way, and they hold a fishing event on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Sitting by a river that flows through the village and catching the first fish of the new year is the best blessing for the new year in the eyes of the villagers, and it is also the most auspicious omen.

Almost in the evening, the female teacher came to look for Ann with a group of children, who had their fishing gear and were ready to sit by the river all night.

The tranquility of the stars and moon shining on the river is like a lake that sinks people into it, making all the sounds silent.

But it is not a silence that cannot be heard by anything, but a silence that can be heard by everything, except that all the sounds are like the sound of wind and rain, just right to blend into the scenery, without a little noise and chaos.

In the first half of the night, the elementary school students have been playing on the grass next to them, arguing loudly about what kind of fish to eat, and the junior high school students are full of energy, as if they are ready to win the championship in one fell swoop, and the female teacher, she yawns, and always looks like she can't lift her energy.

Although Ann is past the age of being fun-loving, she also has some expectations.

Because next year will be her first year back here, she hopes to receive a blessing from this land.

Chu sat by Ann's side very seriously, as for her not fishing, it was good that she didn't scare the fish away.

In the second half of the night, elementary school students have fallen asleep in their parents' arms, junior high school students yawn, high school students held their glasses and looked at the river under the starry sky, as if thinking about the philosophy of life, and the female teacher was still yawning.

The villagers also have their own leisure, some sit together and drink wine in twos and threes, and some get together a few card friends to play cards, as if this is a large outing, the location is like a field by the river.

This outing ends at sunrise the next morning.

Before sunrise, almost everyone had already had a harvest, and even the female teacher, who had been sleeping, caught her first lucky fish in the early hours of the morning.

But Ann didn't, she was so unlucky that she didn't even have a bite from the fish all night.

She looked a little disappointed, with a helpless smile on her face, looked at the sun that was about to rise in the distance, and said regretfully.

"It seems that I can't catch it······"

It's just that before her words fell, there was a pop around her.

The villagers on both sides let out an exclamation, waking up the people who were asleep.

Everyone looked into the river.

It turned out that he had jumped down and sank into the water.

Ann stood on the shore at a loss.

But a few minutes later, as the first rays of sunlight rose on the horizon, it began to rise on the river.

In the splash, the sunlight shone brightly on the droplets falling from her body, and she held a half-sized river fish in her arms and lifted it up to Ann.

With that always, right-for-all expression on his face, and a little, stiff smile.

The sky is just dawning, and the first lucky fish of the new year, Ann gets the biggest.

At sunrise, in the pale golden morning sun.

The schoolboy screamed excitedly and began to name the biggest fish she had ever seen.

The villagers also laughed, and it was the first time they had seen someone like Chu who caught a lucky fish.

So, under the laughter by the river, the small mountain village ushered in the new year.

When she climbed ashore with the fish in her arms, she thought Ann would be happy, but Ann just knocked her on the head and scolded.

"You're stupid, the person who catches the biggest fish is the one who wants to treat, it's all your fault, now I'm decided. ”

But when she scolded, there was a smile on her face that couldn't be hidden, which made Chu wonder whether she was happy or angry.

After scolding, Ann picked up a towel beside her and wiped her hair for Chu.

"Wipe it off quickly, lest you catch a cold. ”

"I'm not going to catch a cold. Chu replied honestly.

Ann was stunned for a moment, her face turned red, and she patted her head again.

"I know, if you want to wipe it, you will wipe it. ”

"Oh. Chu nodded, in her opinion, Ann's moody personality still hasn't changed.

In short, the final result of this lucky fish was that Ann was put back into the river, but she still treated it, although it was the first time she cooked.

At the beginning of spring, Ann went to buy seeds and planted them in the ground with Hatsu.

This made her find another use for the beginning, there is a beginning, and she doesn't even need to buy a machine to plough the ground, and the first person can solve it.

Can you imagine what it would be like for a villager to pass by and see Chu Yi pulling a rake with a blank face, turning the ground while reading a comic book?

In short, she was first known by all the villagers, which also allowed her to integrate into the life of this small village, and when the neighbors brought more side dishes to An, they would also bring her a copy. There's something special about this integration, but it's a good start, isn't it?

Ann had been weaving scarecrows at home all this time, and she asked her neighbors to borrow a lot of straw, enough to make a dozen.

But because she had only done this as a child, and had almost forgotten it now, the experiment failed several times.

It wasn't until recently that she began to make normal scarecrows, though there were still some crookednesses.

On this day, Chu was resting at home, who had finished turning the ground, and Ann was still sitting at the door with straw.

This is the last one, and the one she does best.

When she drew the eyes and mouth on the scarecrow's head, she glanced at the first glance, smiled slightly, picked up the pen in her hand, and gently drew a scar on the scarecrow's left eye, just like the first one.

Chu, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the scarecrow and asked curiously.

"Is this me?"

"It's not. Ann replied with a smile, erecting the scarecrow and looking up.

The afternoon sun was a little dull, and the shadow of the scarecrow slanted to the ground.

"I just think it's going to look a little bit more reliable. Ann looked at the scarecrow and said word by word in a very soft and slow voice.
