When the snow stopped, the sky was exceptionally clear. The continuous sound of firecrackers proves that people have not slept all night.

In the morning, Liu Yong got up early, opened the door, and said, "Open the door." Eight firecrackers were then set off.

Sister-in-law Ying had already prepared sweet tea, and after Liu Yong drank it, and then, in front of the family hall (where ordinary people offered tablets at that time), Liu Yong lit three pillars of incense, knelt there and prayed: May the whole family be healthy; May business prosper; May the country and the people be safe; May the mother be satisfied.

Liu Yong came to his parents' room again, Liu Huanzhang was still lying on the bed, and Liu Yongniang had already gotten up. As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yong said: Parents, my son has given you a New Year's greeting, and I wish you to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan. So saying, he knelt down.

Liu Yongniang pulled up her son and said with a smile: As long as I see my grandson, even if I leave today, I will be satisfied.

Liu Huanzhang said reproachfully: What day is today, the first day of the Lunar New Year, you say such unlucky words.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums sounded at the door, "Ding Dong Bell, Ding Dong Bell," sounded at the door. It turned out that the lion dance team came (at that time, the lion dance performance was a channel for the poor to make a living, to people's homes, to bring joy and good luck to others, and the owner would generally give a reward, as well as cakes).

Liu Yong set off eight firecrackers to welcome the lion dance team to the hall.

The lion spreads its teeth and claws, constantly rolling on the ground, sometimes jumping on the table, sometimes standing on two feet.

Liu Yongniang held a large bag of cake balls and candy and distributed them to the lion dance team.

Liu Yong also gave a reward to each person in the lion dance team, and when the person who sent the lion dance head was issued, both of them were stupid, and this person was Wang Baohe.

Wang Baohe didn't have time to take off his coat, and said with his hands: This was originally the benefactor's mansion, and I, Wang Baohe, am fortunate. Thanks to your help last night, I was able to get through this difficult time. Otherwise, I don't know how to spend this night. He also said to the other members of the lion dance team: This is what I told you, Liu Dongjia, I met last night.

The other members of the lion dance team all cast admiring glances at Liu Yong.

Liu Yong said with a smile: It's just a trivial matter, don't worry about it.

Since the lion dance team still has to drive people, they waved their hands and said: In a few days, they will come to the door to thank them.

Liu Yong said: Come and walk around more welcome, welcome, thank you don't have to. Hands folded: May all families prosper.

Liu Yong sent the lion dance team away and came to his room. His wife, Yuhui, was cleaning up in the room. Liu Yong said with a smile as soon as he entered the door: Cheap, having you is the blessing of my life, and I know enough to have you in my life. Let's wish each other a happy new year and happiness forever!

Yuhui smiled and said: You also come to this set with me. Seriously, I really didn't expect to have such a great blessing, it's all thanks to you, clothes to reach out for food to open your mouth, and I really want to become a wife.

Liu Yong said with a smile: How can my wife be true or false, she is poor, and she is rich. Then he said: Take Dongmei to your godmother's house tomorrow morning to pay New Year's greetings. I should have gone to your mother's house to see your father, but it was freezing cold, and I was afraid that Dongmei would be cold, so I would wait for the weather to be warm. You can also send a letter and ask him to stay for a few days, and do my filial piety.

Yuhui said: I have my own arrangements, you can rest assured. Then he said: Hey, didn't you say that you still want to go to Gu's father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings?

Liu Yong said: I have visited Mrs., so I have to leave.

Yuhui pointed her finger at Liu Yong's face, and said with a smile: It seems that you are becoming more and more improper. Go and come back quickly, and wait for you to come back for dinner.

Liu Yong smiled and said: Yes.

In the morning, Liu Yong first went to Gu's father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, as Liu Yong, who had just made a fortune, he didn't think that he was superior, and he was older than him, and he was in place one by one. He argues; The amount of money does not represent the value of a person.

On the way back, Liu Yong passed by the "Hundred Buildings". Suddenly, I heard someone shouting: Help! Help me!

Liu Yong shouted and saw someone struggling on the river.

Liu Yong didn't think much about it, he took off his coat while running, and when he arrived in front of him, he shook off his braids, put them in his mouth, and jumped into the icy river without hesitation.

Due to the winter, clothes are worn more, and it is easier for people who fall into the water to sink when their clothes are soaked.

Liu Yong ignored the freezing water and threw himself into the water.

Liu Yong took the penny handed by the people on the shore, Liu Yong grabbed the person who fell into the water, and with the help of everyone, the person who fell into the water was finally rescued and escaped.

The person who fell into the water turned out to be a servant of the Pang family, Tian's sister-in-law, who went to the river to wash clothes, but who knew that the steps were frozen and accidentally slipped into the river.

People pulled Liu Yong up.

Liu Yong gasped, trembling, his face was pale, his lips were purple, his hands and feet were numb, and his teeth were rattling.

Pang family and the surrounding area, many people came, and they all said that they should quickly ask Liu Yong to change his clothes, and if he can't get by, his clothes will freeze.

I heard that someone fell into the water, and Pang Gonggong also came out, and when he saw that it was Liu Yong, he said: Liu Xian's nephew was still in my place just now to pay New Year's greetings, and he stayed for dinner, he had to go, fortunately he passed by, and Tian's sister-in-law was in danger, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable, and it was really fortunate for three lives. Quick, let Liu Xian's nephew change his clothes. and called someone to hurry up and boil him a bowl of ginger soup.

Liu Yong changed his clothes and drank ginger soup again, and his body felt hot. I'm going home.

Pang Gonggong resolutely refused, and had to send someone to carry Liu Yong home in a sedan chair.

Although Liu Yong felt some prostration, he wanted to use a sedan chair to carry him home, how could he accept it. Just said: Xie Pang's father-in-law is very kind, I am much better now, and I can sweat when I walk back.

Father-in-law Pang said: Today, if Sister-in-law Tian is not rescued by you and such a big thing happens, my Pang family will not know how to explain. Today, the old man is talking about it, either you want to leave, rest and recover at my house, or carry you back, you see.

Liu Yong was also afraid that his family would wait for a long time, so he couldn't resist Grandpa Pang, so he had to agree.

Pang Gonggong took care of his subordinates again: You bring your wet clothes and bring back your changing clothes. A few days later, the old man came to thank him. I prepared a generous gift and asked my subordinates to bring it.

Liu Yong's family waited for Liu Yong to come back for lunch, left and right, and there was no one to see. Sister-in-law Ying also heated the soup and reheated it.

Hong Ying went to the door and looked around several times, but there was no one in sight.

Liu Yongniang said: Maybe I will come back after eating at somewhere, don't wait, let's eat. Originally, I had a breakfast snack and asked Hong Ying to accompany me to Zhenguang Temple to burn incense, but now I can only go after eating, and it's not too late to have a heart.

Yuhui said: He told me that he would come back for dinner, and he has no jokes.

When everyone was discussing, a sedan chair stopped at the door, and several people helped Liu Yong out and sent him into the house, unconsciously surprised the whole family.

The person who came put the gift on the table and told Liu Yong about going into the water to save people.

Liu Yongniang shouted: Amitabha, Amitabha. Bodhisattva bless, it's good if nothing happens, it's good if nothing happens. He also asked Sister-in-law Ying to hurry up and boil ginger soup.

Yu Hui and Hong Ying also came over and asked this and that with concern.

When the people saw that the arrangements were in order, they took their leave and went back.

Liu Yongniang grabbed a handful of candy and distributed it to the visitors to express her gratitude.

I heard that Liu Yong went into the water to save people, and it was so cold that it was so cold that it could be imagined. Yuhui and Hong Ying both felt distressed.

Yuhui asked Liu Yong to sleep quickly and sweat.

Hong Ying soaked two soup women for Liu Yong to warm the quilt.
