Since the village chief shared a lot of wine after the last dinner with Liu Xiaoyu and took it home, he saved a cup every day, and after a long time, the small problems on the two of them were cured without medicine.

I realized that this wine is a treasure, and the tea leaves, every time I make tea, I only need a little bit, but I can drink it for a long time, and the elegant tea taste will not disappear, originally the village chief's wife also wanted her husband to ask for some, but Liu Xiaoyu had already said that things were also sent by people, so the two of them usually come to the family and never take out this wine and this tea to entertain guests, and when they drink it, they can save it.

This time, seeing these two people see Liu Xiaoyu sending it again, they are naturally very happy in their hearts.

Seeing that there were a lot of people in the house, Liu Xiaoyu didn't stay long, said a few polite words, and then said hello to the people in the house and left. The village chief was inconvenient to send because someone in the family sent Liu Xiaoyu and them all the way to the gate, and kept saying kind things like coming to play when they were free.

After Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Gensheng left the village chief's house, they looked at each other and smiled on the road. After going to the village chief's house, Liu Gensheng asked Liu Xiaoyu to go to the homes of several other hired old people, although the three old people had their own wives, but the children were not around, and the conditions at home were not very good.

Sending these three old people things has to be affordable, and it is better not to send things with empty heads, originally Liu Xiaoyu wanted to directly send some red envelopes over, but was stopped by Liu Gensheng. According to his words, it is a good thing to give money properly, and it will become bad if it is given, or there is a saying in ancient times, it is good to raise rice to raise grace and fight rice to raise hatred.

This sentence has a rather moral story, you can take a look at it when you have time, and I won't say much about it in the book, so as not to be suspected of having a relationship with the number of words.

If you can't give money, then give a real thing, the family has prepared a pair of bamboo rats, so that their wives can raise them when they are okay at home, and then they will buy them uniformly, which can be regarded as finding a way for them, don't they all say that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish.

Then get some chickens and ducks or something, whether they eat or raise, whatever they do.

Liu Xiaoyu's idea was approved by his uncle, and the two of them went to the breeding garden, and the three families prepared a chicken and a duck, and the goose was not prepared to give it because it was originally raised. Coupled with a pair of embroidered mice, this gift is not thin.

I went to the home of the three old people, and saw that their boss came to the door to send a gift for the New Year, and the three old people, including their wife, were moved to tears.

The chickens and ducks were put into their respective enclosures. In terms of bamboo rats, Liu Xiaoyu explained in detail the breeding methods one by one. And promised that they would purchase bamboo rats after breeding. Fortunately, the stuff is easy to breed, and the feed is easy to match. It will not increase the burden on the homes of the three elderly people.

After coming out of the last house. Liu Xiaoyu was a little silent. These three elderly people are not wealthy. The houses are all very old brick houses. It's not big. Except for a large hall that is a bedroom. There is also a kitchen. It looks a little shabby inside and out. Not to mention any household appliances. Except for electric lights. It is estimated that they usually don't use electricity much.

When Liu Xiaoyu went to the ground. I found that the pork and mutton in the original place were marinated. It seems that they are not very willing to eat.

In fact, it's not that I haven't seen those people from poor families. It is often reported on TV and in newspapers. But what you see is better than what you report. This made Liu Xiaoyu's mood a little heavy.

It sensed that he was in a bad mood. Liu Gensheng didn't say anything along the way. Anyway, the village should go to the New Year's greeting place. It doesn't matter if you don't go to the rest of the land. So the two of them didn't go out again after they got home.

Sit in the living room. Liu Xiaoyu held a cup of hot tea. His eyes were fixed on the mist rising above the teacup. I don't know what I'm thinking.

Liu Gensheng, who was sitting next to him, looked at Liu Xiaoyu with an expressionless face, sighed and said:

"Second son, don't think about it, this is normal, not only our Liujia Village, which village in these ten miles and eight townships does not have a few poor households? It's not something we can control. ”

"Uncle, I know, it's just uncomfortable to look at me. It turned out that in the city, I never thought that there were people living so difficult under this sky, so close to me. Thinking about the time when I spent money lavishly, and then thinking about the days of those people, my heart is panicked. Liu Xiaoyu said with a wry smile.

"Huh... Much, just live your own life. Liu Gensheng comforted.

"Hmm."

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, on the day of the New Year, when the whole country was celebrating, Liu Xiaoyu realized something he had never thought of before. Buddhism has a cloud: all living beings are suffering.

Although he was a little heartbroken, he still had to live this year, and Liu Xiaoyu knew that what he saw today was only a very small part of the dark side of the country and even the world. As an ordinary person, he can't control these at all, and the only role he can play is to help the people around him get out of this life as much as possible.

In Liu Gensheng's

, Liu Xiaoyu's heart is much better, knowing that this road is still long, he can only be pregnant temporarily. The two looked at the wall clock in the room and found that time passed so quickly in the afternoon, and it was almost dinner time.

It's another table of dishes, in addition to the festivity, this New Year's Day may be more of a meal, the two of them have a good meal, and after eating, the two of them sit in the room and turn on the computer, listening to various parties held by different TV stations.

The sound of firecrackers outside the house was basically uninterrupted, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the first day of the new year passed like this.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, go to relatives.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the god of burning the door is blessed with sacrifices and prayers, it is forbidden to eat rice, fireworks are avoided, and the floor can not be swept or watered.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, go to relatives.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, it is customary to hold a sacrifice to the God of Wealth. Each family sacrifices to the God of Wealth brought on Chinese New Year's Eve. In fact, the crude prints that were bought were incinerated. At noon on this day, I want to eat wontons, commonly known as 'ingots soup', fortunately, Liu Xiaoyu's father will get this thing as a northerner, and he also taught him.

Sacrificial offerings were made of fish and mutton. Like the big merchants in the old days, they had to carry out a large-scale sacrifice on this day, and the sacrifices should be made with the 'five major offerings', that is, whole pigs, whole sheep, whole chickens, whole ducks, whole red live carp, etc., in the hope of making a fortune this year.

However, in this village, there is not so much attention to the worship of their own homes, make a plate with some good vegetables, fruits, and a bowl of rice, and then light three pillars of incense, and then worship, praying for good luck in the family, wealth and prosperity, and the safety of people and animals this year.

The Liu family's big character Chinese New Year's Eve also happened to invite the God of Wealth, so on the fifth day of the new year, Liu Xiaoyu and his uncle Gensheng worshipped at home, and the custom was inevitable, of course, the sound of firecrackers was endless.

Every day of the New Year in the countryside has a variety of customs, until the fifteenth day of the New Year, this day is commonly known as the small year, the name is the Lantern Festival, it is the main traditional festival in our country, also called the Yuan Xi, the first night, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, because this is the New Year's full moon night. This festival in the Yin Dynasty has the custom of watching lanterns, so it is also called the Lantern Festival.

Every year during this Lantern Festival, Nanjing's Confucius Temple is the most lively, there are so many people that you hardly have to walk by yourself, and the flow of people rubbing shoulders squeezes you forward. According to statistics, on the night of last year's Lantern Festival, the number of people watching the lantern festival of Confucius Temple reached the highest peak: 10,000 people.

In fact, in Liu Xiaoyu's view, although the night view of the Confucius Temple is indeed very beautiful, the various lanterns of the fire trees and silver flowers shroud the entire Confucius Temple in the brilliant lights, which is dazzling. But there are hundreds of thousands of people in such a big place, and there are still lights at a glance, and they are densely packed with people.

In comparison, it is still quiet in the Lantern Festival in the countryside, every household hangs up the lanterns, and the little children in the village each have a small lantern and play in the village.

Fortunately, after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, some of those who were doing business began to open, so Liu Xiaoyu, who forgot to buy lanterns, hurriedly drove his treasure donkey to the town to buy some and came back.

Two big red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate of the courtyard, and two relatively small lanterns were also hung on the gate of each house in the courtyard.

That night, Liu Xiaoyu was lying on the bed, with some cranky thoughts in his mind, time passed too fast, so that people inadvertently found that the year had passed, and life would return to normal after the New Year.

The joy of the New Year gradually faded, and Liu Xiaoyu's mood slowly calmed down, thinking about the newly expanded cowshed and sheepfold over the breeding house, as well as the empty pigsty, which could not be idle there, and he was going to go to the town tomorrow to have a look and buy some back.

Liu Xiaoyu now has very little money in his hands, and in the winter, he sold meat and fish a few years ago, but he spent a lot of money on building a simple wharf and buying a boat to pave a cobblestone road, and he couldn't make ends meet.

Fortunately, as soon as this year passed, the weather gradually began to warm up, and the strawberries in the greenhouse also began to grow again after the dormant period, or it would not be long before the fruit could be hung, this year's early strawberries must be able to sell at a good price, there was experience in selling strawberries last year, Liu Xiaoyu knew that the yield of his greenhouse strawberries would not attract too many people's attention, so he was ready to sell more this year.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Xiaoyu estimates that there will be some output this summer, and the number may not be much, but now Liu Xiaoyu not only has space water in hand, but also after a period of exercise by the main brain, although it is still far away from the requirements of the space mastermind, Liu Xiaoyu can already control a certain amount of energy to act on the plant, which can also play a great role in the growth of the plant. Anyway, doing so is also a good way to consume mental power, and it can also exercise his energy control ability, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it.
