After the winter solstice, it was the coldest day of the year, and Lan Yi also bought a picture of the ninety-nine cold from the market and hung it in the hall, adding a touch of color to the dim room. p>

The picture she bought was a plum blossom, with eighty-one flowers on the black, thin and curved plum branches, each of which was outlined only with cinnabar to outline the shape of the petals. From the day of the winter solstice, a flower is painted with ink with a brush every day, and the plum blossoms of the whole painting are painted all over the painting, which is the season when the earth warms up and everything recovers, which is also the origin of the name of the "cold map". p>

Yu'er and the baby are very interested in the cold picture, and they rush to draw plum blossoms every day, and they will paint all the plum blossoms in one day. Lan Yi had to draw a few more similar pictures and hang them on the wall to doodle for the two children, of course, the one she painted was less artistic than the cold picture she bought, but it added fun, and the small animals such as chickens and ducks were also more popular with the two children. p>

The winter solstice, also known as the sub-year, is an important festival for the locals, on this day everyone is more easy to get new clothes, prepare food, enjoy the ancestors, and enjoy the ancestors, as lively as the New Year's Festival. p>

Lan Yi was afraid of the cold, so she didn't have any celebrations, and only bought some food according to custom and went to the second uncle's house to visit the elders. p>

Seeing Lan Yi coming, Liu quickly pulled her to the kang and talked about the gossip he just heard: "This year, Fengle Lou in the city has a new Baiwei wonton, I heard that this bowl of wontons is different from each filling, sister-in-law, let's try it?" ”p>

Lan Yi hurriedly waved her hand, there was a heavy snowfall a few days ago, and now it is the weather that drips into ice, she is not interested in running into the city to eat a bowl of wontons. p>

Chen also smiled and said: "My mother-in-law is coming back soon to burn incense in the county seat, I don't know if her old man will hear anything lively." ”p>

The emperor in the winter solstice capital wants to sacrifice to the sky, and the people who burn incense in the temple in the county town can't squeeze in, Li is a devout believer, no matter which religion she believes, so she rode a donkey into the city early today to burn incense and pray for peace. Lan Yi thinks that the Li family is okay like this, the left and right are just asking for peace of mind, in short, with the Li family in her, she can worship a few fewer Bodhisattvas and Daozun, right? p>

"Fortunately, there is a donkey, otherwise your second aunt will have a difficult road, and it will be difficult to walk on the road on a snowy day." Second Uncle Wang said to Lan Yi with a pleasant face, "Old man, you go back first, people from Huajia Village will definitely come over to give you a New Year's gift today, don't let people hit the empty door, and bring the children over for dinner at night." ”p>

Lan Yi nodded, put down the vegetables and meat from which they came and returned home, and soon after, the person who gave the New Year's gift from Huajia Village really arrived. This time it was Wang Linshan's eldest cousin Hua Changye. p>

"Brother and sister, your yard is getting more and more lively." Hua Changye entered the courtyard of Lan Yi's house, and saw the livestock and poultry added to the family, as well as the greenhouse and the west wing, which were much more popular than the deserted and empty earlier. p>

Lan Yi asked the two children to give Hua Changye a gift and asked with a smile: "Cousin, are your grandmother, uncle, and concubines all well?" ”p>

Hua Changye picked up the baby, let him sit on his lap and teased: "It's all right, it's just that I miss this little thing." Brother and sister, you must bring the baby over on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, grandma has long wanted to meet you. ”p>

"I should have gone to the old man's house to say goodbye, I will definitely bring the child over on the fourth day of junior high school." Lan Yi knew that this was a set date for her to pass, and she was a junior, so she naturally had to listen. However, she didn't fully believe Hua Changye's words, and the relatives in Huajia Village she saw when Wang Linshan was in the soil didn't see how close they were to herself and her children. If you say how much this grandmother likes the baby, it is not necessarily, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Wang Linyuan once took the baby to Huajia Village to give Wang Linshan's grandmother a gift, and only said a few vague words after coming back, but Lan Yi could hear that the family did not treat the baby with much enthusiasm, so during the Midyear Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other solar terms, Lan Yi only asked someone to send some gifts, and did not let the baby go again. p>

Hua Changye looked at Lan Yi's thoughtful appearance, thinking that she had grown a lot older than when she met half a year ago, but she still looked petite and cute wrapped in a thick winter coat. Looking at the vitality of the courtyard and the neat hall, Hua Changye knew that this family of three lived very well. However, Hua Changye looked at the wide-open door of the hall and then thought of the wide-open courtyard gate, and couldn't help but sigh that this cousin was really from a big family, and he really obeyed the rules! No amount of heat on this cold day can resist the cold air that penetrates through the open door, don't you see that her nose is red from the cold? p>

"Brother and sister, what do you remember in the past six months?" When Lan Yi returned to her hometown, she used amnesia as an excuse and did not mention the matter between herself and Wang Linshan, when the family was immersed in the grief of Wang Linshan's death and the little comfort brought by the baby, they also had a lot of pity for Lan Yi and did not suspect anything. p>

But after Hua Changye followed the third uncle to Meixian once, he thought that this matter was a little strange. p>

Hua Changye's third uncle Hua Zhan Zhou finally saved enough money to buy a medium-sized cargo ship to help people transport goods in the past two years, Hua Changye followed the third uncle on the river, and when he passed through Meixian County, he asked around about the news of his cousin Wang Linshan but found nothing. As for this little woman, Hua Changye only heard that the Lan family in Meixian County is quite powerful and has a very good family style, and it is said that a woman from such a family should not marry a down-and-out scholar as a wife even if she is a side branch or a concubine, and give birth to a child for him, and even after Wang Linshan's death, she did not return to the Lan family or stay in Meixian, but traveled thousands of miles to settle in this poor and remote country. p>

Unless, something happened to her cousin and she was kicked out of the Lan family, or she was just a maid and slave of the Lan family. But Hua Changye's observation of Lan Yi's every move is obviously not something that ordinary maids can have, although his cousin is a showman, but he has no money, no power and a cowardly temperament, his cousin is willing to marry him for a reason, maybe it is just to settle here in his name. p>

Hua Changye asked the doctor about the amnesia of headbanging, although it was indeed possible that there would be zài, but he instinctively thought that Lan Yi did not have amnesia. The third uncle, Hua Zhanzhou, thought that this little woman did not seem to be a fake, but Hua Changye still felt that Lan Yi's appearance was a little abnormal, but there was no way to verify it. If the reason, ahem, he still can't believe that such a good woman would take a fancy to his nerdy cousin. Even if you fall in love with yourself, you won't fall in love with your cousin! So this time he shouldn't have come to give a New Year's gift, Hua Changye took the initiative to come to Beigou Village to explore the bottom of this little woman, maybe there will be something to discover. p>

Lan Yi saw him looking directly at him, his eyes burning as if he wanted to see something from his face. "No, I don't remember anything." p>

Hua Changye saw that her eyes were calm and clear, not as if she was lying, and then asked: "You still have to find more doctors to take a look, after the year, our Hua family's merchant ship will deliver goods to Meixian, I don't know if my younger brothers and sisters can intentionally go, maybe I can remember something when I get to Meixian." The Lan family is a big family in Meixian County, although the population is large, as long as you are willing to inquire, you can always find someone who knows your younger siblings. ”p>

It seems that he must have inquired about himself, otherwise how would he know that the Lan family in Meixian County is a big family? Lan Yi remembered the expression of the chasing soldier he met in Qingshan Town, Meixian County when he first crossed over, and heard his surname Lan, this Lan family's power should not be underestimated. The fake identity prepared by Steward Wang for Yirou should have been considered for some time, and now he will only be in danger when he returns to Meixian County. "Thank you cousin for your kindness, but the baby is still young, I don't want to take him around again, wait for the children to be older in a few years." p>

"Don't my younger siblings want to know their background and miss their parents?" Hua Changye broke the casserole and asked in the end. p>

How could she not want to know Chun Tao's life experience, how could she not miss her parents who were far away? Lan Yi's face was gloomy, as if she was answering and asking herself: "Even if you want to, what can you do?" A qiē can only be slowly drawn. ”p>

Lan Yi's sadness from her heart made Hua Changye stunned, could it be that she really lost her memory? Amnesia must be a painful thing, right? p>

"It's me who took the liberty to provoke my younger siblings." p>

Lan Yi looked up at Hua Changye, he should be less than thirty years old, the resolute lines of his face and bright eyes reveal a mature atmosphere everywhere, this person is more thoughtful than Second Uncle Wang's family, and it is more difficult for people to approach, but generally people with this kind of eyes are not bad people, and she doesn't need to worry about anyone. Yirou's fake identity is impossible for him to find out, so why should he worry about it, even if Hua Changye is suspicious, what can he do? p>

After Hua Changye left, Yu'er and Baobao squatted next to the pheasant he brought and shook their heads and sighed. "Mother, if only this pheasant lived, it would be nice to lay a few more eggs." p>

Yu'er is now responsible for picking up eggs every day, and after the winter, the chickens at home have fewer eggs, and now seeing that these two chickens that can only lay eggs are sent but they are dead, he can only look at the chicken's belly and sigh. p>

You must know that after the chickens in this family lay eggs, in addition to eating at home, the rest of the copper coins fell into his small clay pot, Yu'er now has a good impression of chickens directly more than black pigs and donkeys, who let them not lay eggs and not lay cubs! p>

"If we can't lay eggs, we'll eat them. The two of you go into the house to play, my mother has cleaned up the chicken, and let's eat pheasant stewed mushrooms and chestnut chicken tonight. "Lan Yi has been boiling porridge recently, and there are still a lot of dried fruits at home. p>

In the autumn, she was only busy taking everything she could to collect back home, and she didn't think about what she could do with it and how much her family of three could eat. Now there are still many things in the cellar, and she has also heard the prices of dry goods and dried fruits on the mountain these few times in the city, except for a few rare, the others are low and pitiful, no wonder the people in the village do not go into the mountains to collect mountain goods. p>

Lan Yi knew the business opportunities behind this low price, but with her current strength, she couldn't control these opportunities. Now she thinks about how to maximize the value of things like walnuts, hawthorns and chestnuts in the cellar. p>

Walnuts have high nutritional value and are easy to store, Lan Yi doesn't collect much, you can keep them for your own food, but there are a lot of chestnuts and hawthorns in the cellar, and now that the weather is cold, sugar fried chestnuts and sugar gourds can be marketed. p>

Lan Yi didn't see the sugar gourd in Da Zhou, nor did she see the relevant records in the books; She saw fried chestnuts with sugar in the shop pù on the way back from Meixian, in addition to chestnut cakes and other chestnut products, which tasted good. But the sugar-fried chestnuts here are much inferior to what Lan Yi has eaten in modern times, and if she can make these sugar-fried chestnuts, it will be a lot of silver. p>

She knew how to make sugar gourds, but making zuò fried chestnuts with sugar was beyond her ability. The sugar-fried chestnuts made after a few experiments were not as delicious as the chestnuts cooked directly in plain water, which disappointed Lan Yi. p>

"It's the most important thing to know half-understood." Lan Yi had been attracted by the fragrance of sugar-fried chestnuts countless times and stood in front of the stall, drooling at the chestnuts constantly stir-fried in the black fried sand, but now it was her turn to do it herself. p>

At this time, she misses Du Niang very much, and misses the almighty network very much, people in the knowledge explosion do not know the value of knowledge, but waste time on indifferent things, only after leaving the network do you know the importance of mastering more knowledge. p>

Without ready-made knowledge, Lan Yi wanted to concentrate the wisdom of everyone. It is said that three stinkers are on top of one Zhuge Liang, and she wants to discuss the use of chestnuts when the family gets together on the winter solstice. p>

After Aunt Wang came back from burning incense in the temple, she kept talking about the excitement of the city at the dinner table, mentioning the Baiwei wontons in Fengle Lou and the sauerkraut fish in Lexiangju, it is said that the sauerkraut fish is not cheap to sell each portion. p>

"Bao'er damn it, when I think that these sour bamboo shoots and sauerkraut are all made by us, I feel that my face also shines." Aunt Wang sighed, although she couldn't afford to eat, she was happy. p>

Liu Shi thought about what the sauerkraut fish tasted like, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva: "It's the sauerkraut we make that we can't afford to eat the sauerkraut fish of Lexiangju, our sauerkraut is sold, and the fish is not easy to catch in this winter." ”p>

Lan Yi also loves fish: "Next time I go to the city, I'll buy two fish and come back, there are still some sauerkraut at home, let's make and eat them ourselves." ”p>

When Yu'er and Daifuku heard this, their eyes immediately widened and they wanted to eat. p>

"Sister-in-law, the fish is expensive now, let's not miss this bite." Chen added food to the children, and said casually. p>

As soon as Yu'er heard that the fish was expensive, she immediately echoed: "That's it, mother, we don't eat fish, the fish has thorns, and the chicken has no thorns." ”p>

Everyone couldn't help but feel funny when they saw him distressed about money, Lan Yi looked down at the baby's satisfied look with a small bowl of chicken soup obediently, and said to Yu'er with a smile: "We have earned money, and my mother will definitely buy fish and come back for you to eat sauerkraut fish." ”p>

As soon as Liu heard that he was making money, he immediately came to his spirit: "Sister-in-law, have you thought of a way to make money again?" ”p>

Li and Chen also immediately leaned their necks to stare at Lan Yi, but they heard her say calmly: "Let's talk about it after eating." ”p>

Lee: "......" p>

Chen: "......" p>

Liu: "....... ”p>

Then, the three of them decisively accelerated the speed of eating, and the five children were much faster. p>

Then, after eating, the family gathered on the kang to wait for Lan Yi to speak. p>

Lan Yi saw that the family was staring at her, so she cleared her throat and said, "Second uncle and aunt, do you remember the red fruits and chestnuts that my two younger siblings and I harvested in autumn?" "The hawthorn here is called red fruit, and Lan Yi always reminds herself not to say the wrong name. p>

Everyone nodded, and Liu asked curiously: "Sister-in-law, can this fruit also be pickled and eaten?" ”p>

Lan Yi: ...... p>
