In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze is sent to warm Tusu.

Kawai Prefecture, which has little life on weekdays, finally gained some popularity on the day of the New Year.

Wanderers who make a living outside on this day, they return to their hometowns one after another, no matter whether they mix well or not, they always dress the best on the day they return to their hometowns, carry the most things in their hands, and have the brightest smiles on their faces.

Of the three children in the school, only Zhang Dong's father is still there, but even if it is the New Year, he can't return home as a guard of Qianshan County.

But fortunately, Zhang Dong's father still thought about sending a letter to his son.

Zhang Dong, who was holding the letter, did not show the appearance of a living treasure for the first time, and hid to the side and read it silently over and over again.

Xiao'er followed her grandparents to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, took a string of hanging cannons, and came to Li Qingshan and them.

And Josh, who is an orphan and has no relatives in this world...... It's not right, maybe in her opinion, Xue Lao and those two classmates are her relatives...... By the way, there is also Li Qingshan......

For this day, Li Qingshan was busy preparing all day, buying ingredients and firecrackers, and the most important thing was to prepare New Year's money for the three students.

It's not easy to be a teacher these days, I didn't make any money, but I got a lot of money.

However, Li Qingshan didn't care too much, money was something outside his body, and he spent so much money in exchange for a New Year's flavor that he hadn't felt for a long time...... One word, value!

Xue Lao looked particularly energetic on this day, wearing a red robe that would only be taken out during the New Year, and the whole person looked quite good.

Although he was already a little inconvenient to walk, with the little red horse here, it would not be a problem to pick him up and send him home to Li Qingshan......

The sound of crackling firecrackers came from outside the small courtyard.

Inside the house, a group of people from the Zhixing Academy sat in front of a large iron pot.

There was a live stove under the iron pot, and the scorching flame kept boiling the red oil in the iron pot.

The fresh and spicy hot pot flavor stimulated everyone's taste buds, and the little red horse sitting beside Li Qingshan snorted: Happy New Year!

Everyone was puzzled and looked at Li Qingshan.

The latter smiled and said, "It says Happy New Year, hurry up and start eating!" ”

"Happy New Year!" Xue Lao picked up the wine glass after a long absence, and saluted everyone present: "May you all be safe and secure every year." ”

Seeing this, Li Qingshan patted the table and got up.

The three students followed suit.

The same goes for the little red horse.

In the next second, the four of them worked together: "May Mr. Xue be as blessed as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, year after year, and peace and security!" ”

Xue Lao picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and laughed heartily: "Okay! Good! Good! We are together year after year, year after year... Safe! ”

"Ahem! I'll say a word from Zhang Dong! When he said this, he deliberately stayed away from some Xiaoqi'er.

Xiaoqi'er glanced at him, not planning to hit him...... For the Chinese New Year, you have to let your child say a few words.

"As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home... Away from friends..."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't listen anymore, and they all turned their eyes to Xiaoqi'er.

"It's easy to do things with money outside, but it's hard to eat without money......"

Xiao Qi'er understood, moved her wrist, walked behind Zhang Dong, raised her little hand and slapped it.

Rumble... Syllable!

Bang... Syllable... Bang... Syllable!

The entire Kawai Prefecture resounded with extremely dense firecrackers.

This year, the taste turned into honey, and it spread little by little in everyone's hearts, so sweet that people forgot all their troubles......

……

Just after this year, a bad news came.

Mr. Xue is gone, in the cabin he built with his own hands.

The first to be discovered was Zhang Dong.

He has always adhered to the principle that men have tears and do not flick, and he cried heartbreakingly on this day.

After Li Qingshan found out, he contacted the coffin shop in the county and ordered a good coffin for the old gentleman.

I bought a few sets of filial piety clothes, brought three students, the little red horse, and buried Xue Lao together.

The burial site was chosen on a hillside not far from the school.

According to Josh, this place was chosen by Xue Lao himself, and as early as when he returned to Chuanhe County, he chose a cemetery for himself on this hillside.

"This time I will return to my hometown, I will not leave, although the fame is good, the fallen leaves return to the roots is a beautiful thing in the world......"

This was said by Xue Lao at that time, and Josh heard it and wrote it down carefully.

Li Qingshan bought two large jars of good wine and placed them in front of Xue Lao's tomb.

During the Chinese New Year that day, when he saw Xue Lao's happy appearance after drinking wine, he guessed that Xue Lao must be a person who loves wine, but why he didn't drink it all the time, wasn't it just to save the money for students to study......

At the end of the New Year's party, Mr. Xue drank too much, and on the way back to Li Qingshan, Mr. Xue said something like this.

[Qingshan, I've finally survived to this day...... I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive this year......]

[There are no regrets in life, no regrets in life! ] 】

After two sentences, Xue Lao was overwhelmed by the strength of alcohol and fell drunk.

In fact, he has long been a candle in the wind, staying up every day, persevering, just wanting to spend the last year with the students......

In life, there is no inevitable gathering, only inevitable separation.

From the day Li Qingshan obtained the Immortal Dao, he knew that he would always be alone in this life...... By the way, there is still a horse......

In front of Xue Lao's grave, three students cried to death, especially the orphan Josh, Xue Lao's status in her heart is that she is also a teacher and a father, and the feeling of losing the closest person in the world can be imagined......

Xiao Qi'er cried and fainted several times in front of the grave, and the appearance of pear blossoms with rain made people feel distressed when they saw it.

Zhang Dong knelt in front of the grave and rushed to drink.

Mr. Xue has not allowed him to drink, telling him that drinking will make a mistake, and he will drink again when he grows up, and Mr. Xue promised to drink with him.

Don't look at Zhang Dong's stubbornness on the surface, but he listens to Mr. Xue's words very much, he is still waiting to grow up and buy some good wine to honor Xue Lao.

Among the three students, he was the only one who knew that Xue Lao loved wine...... Because he had seen it a few times, Xue Lao urged in front of the wine stall for a long time, but he was not willing to buy the cheapest bowl of rice wine......

Li Qingshan didn't care about him, he wanted to drink, so let's drink it...... Anyway, as long as you don't drink to death, it's okay to vent your emotions well.

In the end, after more than 20 bowls of liquor in a row, Zhang Dong fell to the ground and fell asleep.

Xiao'er and Josh also fainted because they cried too hard and cried for too long.

Li Qingshan asked Little Red Horse to send them back to the academy, and he was here alone to talk to Mr. Xue......

The snow on this mountain has not yet melted, but the people on this mountain have departed.

Life, this is life......
