In the blink of an eye, Zhu Cijiao has been separated from his parents for four days, and it is the annual Spring Festival, which is the third Spring Festival he has spent since traveling to the Ming Dynasty.

The first two Spring Festivals were spent in King Gui's Mansion, and it was very lively, King Gui's Mansion killed pigs and sheep, put up lanterns, sang and welcomed the spring, and it was lively for several days.

The third Spring Festival, although Zhu Cijiao is already the prince, but the Spring Festival will be spent in the mountains, only him, the master and the senior sister, I don't know how to spend this Spring Festival.

Zhu Cijiao's master Zhang Yin is already an old man in his sixties, and he has a strong feeling for the Spring Festival, and he is quietly busy with this Spring Festival like a father.

Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, when Zhu Ci got up, he saw his senior sister practicing boxing in the open space in front of the hut, and he did not see the master.

"Senior sister, where is the master?" Zhu Ciyi's heart was empty, so he asked about his senior sister.

"I'm going down the mountain, it's the New Year today, the master went to the early field, and he set off before dawn." The senior sister replied to him while practicing boxing.

"You have been in this isolated mountain all day long, how do you know that today is the New Year?" Zhu Cijiao looked at the buckwheat flowers in surprise.

"Count! Twelve months a year, thirty days a month, a few days a day! Buckwheat had a look of anticipation on her face as she spoke.

The Chinese New Year is the time when I miss my relatives the most, and it is also the time when my relatives miss themselves the most. ”。

Buckwheat's words were like a heavy punch hitting Zhu Cijiao's softest place, he was so sour in his heart that he just wanted to cry, but he was a prince, he couldn't bear it and couldn't cry.

"Senior sister, this method is good, in the past, it was you who counted, but now the two of us count together, we won't count wrong." Zhu Cijiao calmed down his thoughts and said to buckwheat.

"I won't count wrong, the junior brother is not practicing boxing quickly, and the master will come back and see you so lazy, do you still want to learn invisible skills?" Buckwheat flowers are both a kind reminder and a supervision.

"Senior sister doesn't make a small report, the master is out of the mountain, where will I know if I practice or not, is it possible that the master has clairvoyance?" Zhu Cijiao is a little self-righteous.

"The master already has clairvoyance! Maybe he's invisible behind you now, watching you, but you can't see him. ”

What Buckwheath said seems to be very reasonable, the master has invisible skills, where he is, Zhu Cijiao can't see it at all.

"Okay, I'd better practice hard and strive for the master to teach me the invisible skill as soon as possible." Zhu Cijiao said and followed buckwright to practice boxing.

Sure enough, before noon, when Zhu Cijiao and Buckwheath were sweating and practicing, the master had come back quietly.

"Smack, smack, smack—"

When Zhu Cijiao and Buckwright heard a burst of fisting, they looked back and saw that the master was already standing under the tree in front of the door at some point, watching them practice boxing.

"Master, when did you come back?" Zhu Cijiao and buckwheat rushed over happily.

"I've been back for a while, and I saw that you were still serious about practicing boxing, so I didn't call you." Zhang Yin said and took out two new clothes from his back.

"Apprentice, come, put on new clothes, and celebrate the New Year!" Zhang Yin said as he put on new clothes for Zhu Cijiao and Buckwheat.

This scene is more like the scene when Zhu Ci was a child in his previous life, when his mother gave him new clothes, Zhu Ci's nose was sore, and tears were rolling in his eyes.

"Thank you, master!" Zhu Cijiao bowed to Zhang Yin, quickly turned around, and quietly wiped away the tears in his eyes, so that the master and buckwheat would not see it.

In addition to new clothes, Zhang Yin also bought back chickens and ducks, bacon, sausages, pastries, candies, artillery, New Year paintings, Spring Festival couplets, lanterns and other New Year's goods.

After lunch, Zhang Yin, Buckwheat, and Zhu Cijiao began to get busy, preparing for the Spring Festival decently.

The three of them first cleaned the hut inside and out, pasted Spring Festival couplets and New Year paintings, and hung a row of lanterns on the eaves of the hut, just like the scene of the Spring Festival in the small courtyard of a farmhouse.

The next thing is to cook the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Zhang Yin is ready to make five major dishes: stewed chicken, braised duck, roasted spicy fish, bacon, and sausage, these dishes can only be used by Zhang Yin himself, and buckwheat flowers can't help.

"Master, if you have a big meal today, have you eaten all the meat for a year?" Zhu Cijiao and Buckwheat looked at the master to make one dish after another, all of which were big fish and meat, and kept swallowing saliva and said.

When Zhang Yin brought the stewed chicken to the table, the chicken was chopped into chicken pieces, and before the meal was served, Zhu Cijiao and Buckwheat gathered around the table to discuss who would eat which piece.

"Senior brother, you see, these two chicken legs are very big, I haven't eaten chicken legs for a year, there are only two chicken legs, how can I divide them?" The buckwheat flower points with her little finger.

"Senior sister, you see that there are still small chicken legs, these two big ones belong to you and the master, and I will give me the chicken legs when I am young." Zhu Cijiao proposed a distribution plan.

"No, the big chicken leg is for you and the master, I still want the small chicken leg." Buckwheat pushes up.

At this time, Zhang Yin served all five dishes on the table, and it was time to start the meal, and he felt an indescribable joy in his heart when he saw the two children arguing over the chicken legs.

"Have you two been assigned? It's allocated, and the master is ready to eat! Zhang Yin smiled and said.

"I can't win the senior sister, it's better for the master to decide!" Zhu Cijiao handed over the problem to Zhang Yin.

Zhu Ci knew that the southwest Chinese New Year's Eve meal was particular about eating chicken pieces, and whoever ate which piece had a corresponding reason, and he deliberately tested the master.

"Okay, master, let's divide it." Zhang Yin said as he picked up the chopsticks and divided them.

"Cijia, this piece is yours." Zhang Yin took the head of the chicken and put it in front of Zhu Ciyi.

"Buckwheat, this piece is yours." Zhang Yin put a big chicken leg in front of the buckwheat.

"This piece belongs to the master, do you have any opinions? Eat it if you don't have an opinion! Zhang Yin sandwiched chicken liver for himself.

"Slow! I have an opinion! I'm going to tweak it. When the master and buckwheat were about to eat, Zhu Cijiao stopped.

"This chicken head, the master must eat it! Why, because the master is the head of the family, he must be in charge! Zhu Cijiao put the chicken head in front of him in front of the master.

"This wing is mine, if the apprentice wants to spread his wings and fly high, the master will fulfill me!" He said as he tucked a pair of chicken wings in front of him.

Zhang Yin looked at Zhu Cijiao with wide eyes, and couldn't believe that these words came from Zhu Cijiao, who was less than three years old, and he couldn't find a rebuttal when he was over the age of six.

"Ci Ji said it very clearly, just according to his allocation, eat." Zhang Yin nodded and said.

Buckwheat wanted to give the chicken leg to Zhu Ci to eat, but she couldn't find a reason for him to eat it, and she couldn't find a reason not to eat it, so she had to pick up the chicken leg and nibble on it.

This Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, this special family of three, a beautiful and full meal, eating with talk and laughter, a hearty dinner diluted the subconscious sadness.

Since Zhu Ci entered the mountain, there has never been a day as happy as today, and this Chinese New Year's Eve, he will start a new journey in life.
