On Chinese New Year's Eve, Jiang Nian's heart was still chaotic, she watched Jiang Fan busy preparing for the New Year, thinking that Jiang Nian's body was weak and could not live as an ordinary person these years, but Jiang Fan never gave up on her, and this heart gradually became firm.

Since he is Jiang Nian now, no matter how much he thinks about it, it will only increase his troubles, since he promised to take care of his father, it is better to be his father's good daughter and honor his father!

In the evening, the father and daughter had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together, and Jiang Fan couldn't bear his daughter staying up late to urge her to go back to the room to rest, but Jiang Nian insisted on keeping the New Year, and came to the hall to talk to Jiang Fan around the stove.

After a while, Jiang Fan felt that something was not quite right, and her daughter who was in a daze in the past was a little gasping when she spoke quickly, but today she said in a calm and clear tone, and she could make fun of herself from time to time.

Just thinking about it, he glanced at Jiang Nian suspiciously. Jiang Nian naturally understood that her changes had been felt by Jiang Fan, and only then did she tell Jiang Fan in detail about the rescue she had been rescued at the Divine Tree Temple that day.

Jiang Fan was stunned for a while before he took Jiang Nian's hand and said excitedly, "Nian'er, do you remember what happened that day?"

Jiang Nian nodded with a smile and said, "Daddy, don't you still believe it?" Although I have been asleep for the past few days, my brain is very clear when I wake up, and it is only the Qingming that can only be found in the Divine Tree Temple. Moreover, I feel that I have a lot of strength in my heart these days, and I used to dare not run and jump easily, but now I can't wait to go to the yard for a run!"

Looking at his daughter's smiling face, Jiang Fan was excited, and he only felt that Jiang Nian had a lot of energy when he spoke, and he was indeed not sick and wilted before.

He looked at Jiang Nian and smirked for a long time, suddenly remembered something, and said to Jiang Nian: "You wait here, Daddy will go and get something." So I hurried to the backyard. When he came back, he held a delicate box in his left hand, and a delicate purse in his right hand, and handed it to Jiang Nian together.

Jiang Nian attracted the purse at a glance, and on it was a delicately embroidered camellia, which was the master's work at a glance. Open the purse to see, it is a small jade gourd, the jade is not very translucent, there seems to be cotton mist mixed in it, hold it in the palm of the hand, faintly have a sense of warmth to himself, Jiang Nian's heart moved, knowing that this jade gourd is not good-looking but must be an extraordinary thing, so he quickly put it back in the purse and put it away.

Go and open the box again, this box is actually not unfamiliar to Jiang Nian, I often see Jiang Fan holding the box and sighing, there is an old book in it, Jiang Nian also knows, but what kind of book it is, Jiang Nian has never read it.

At this time, when I opened the box, I saw that the book was so old that it was not in shape, although the cover was not damaged, but it was no longer visible, and when I opened the cover, the dark yellow paper on the inner page looked as if it would be broken if I touched it.

Jiang Nian was still looking at the old book and didn't know whether to turn the page again, when he heard Jiang Fan talking, he stopped and listened to his father intently.

"Nian'er, this jade gourd is left to you by your mother, and the purse is also embroidered by your mother. Talking about the past with his wife, Jiang Fan's face was full of tenderness and nostalgia, "In the lunar month of that year, I accompanied your mother to the Sacred Tree Temple to offer incense, and by the way, I offered some flowers and trees to the Sacred Tree Temple." Our camellia blooms beautifully, especially lively and beautiful in winter, your mother chose a few pots to move to the sacred tree, just dug the pit, and found this jade gourd. I thought it was lost by the lady of the family, but in the first month, your mother went to the shrine of the sacred tree every day and waited for the owner but did not wait, your mother liked this jade gourd very much, so she made this purse and brought it with her every day. Later, after your mother was pregnant and gave birth to you, she gave you this jade gourd to wear, but a few years ago, you have been confused, and I was afraid that you would lose it, so I put it away. In the end, Jiang Fan was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Nian saw Jiang Fan's expression and felt a little funny, so he smiled and said to him, "Thank you Daddy for helping me keep it." What about this book?"

"This book is what Daddy wants to pass on to you. Speaking of this, Jiang Fan was a little proud, "This book was found by my father from the mezzanine of the family heirloom bookbox, in fact, I can't figure it out, the bookbox has been inherited for so long, the ancestors have really never discovered it, and the ancestors of our branch have not been cultivated." If anyone had read it, they would not have dusted its records. The first time I saw it, it was so shabby. Although only a few words can be vaguely seen now, my father has learned the skills of cultivating flowers and trees for so many years. I wanted to teach you Daddy's craft for a long time, but you were always in bad health before. But fortunately, there is a turnaround now, so it is better to pass it on to you today. I only hope that you can gain something, Daddy will always be old, I don't expect you to be rich and rich, you have to have the ability to settle down and live in the world. ”

"Father's teachings, daughters remember. Saying that, Jiang Nian got up and saluted Jiang Fan, "Tomorrow is the first day of the first lunar month, as the saying goes, the plan of the year lies in spring, so I will read this ancient book, and when I am well, I will take care of the flower seedlings with my father!"

"Haha, okay, it's really Daddy's good daughter, but the first thing we do tomorrow morning, we still have to go to the Divine Tree Temple to offer incense!" Jiang Fan looked at Jiang Nian with love in his eyes.

For more than ten years, his heart has been heavy, his beloved wife died early, his young daughter was confused, he never saw the hope of life, and it was only his father's responsibility to move forward. But this Chinese New Year's Eve, he suddenly felt that he was not a burden on his shoulders, but the joy of life.

The New Year's bell rang, indicating that the new year had arrived, Jiang Nian followed Jiang Fan to kowtow to the ancestral tablet of the Jiang family and then went back to the room to rest.

Jiang Nian, who was lying on the bed, was still a little excited in his heart, the book was given by his father, and the jade gourd was given by his mother, so I put both of them in a box and put them next to the pillow.

But she couldn't help but open the box, only to see the jade gourd in the dark surrounded by brilliance, Jiang Nian looked at it blankly, but after a while, the glow disappeared, she quickly grabbed the jade gourd in her hand, rubbed it, but there was no response, rubbed it again, and still didn't respond. Jiang Nian had no choice but to put the jade gourd back in the box, thinking about weaving a rope pattern in the past few days, hanging it around his neck, and falling asleep after thinking about it.

Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Jiang Nian put on the new clothes that his father had prepared a long time ago, and carefully put the jade gourd in his purse and hid it closely, and after grooming it properly, he went to pay New Year's greetings to his father, and then went to the shrine of the sacred tree with his father to offer incense.

The shrine of the sacred tree is very lively, everyone rushes to the first day of the new year on the pillar incense and then make a wish to the sacred tree, asking for the blessing of the sacred tree.

When Aunt Wang saw Jiang Nian coming, she greeted her with a warm smile, and only asked Jiang Fan to go busy with herself, and greet the New Year with the patrons who came with her, and then took Jiang Nian to offer incense and accompanied Jiang Nian to kowtow in front of the sacred tree. At this time, Jiang Nian knelt in front of the sacred tree, and there was only an emptiness left in his heart.

Unexpectedly, at this time, Jiang Nian suddenly felt that the jade gourd hidden close to him trembled, and then felt that it began to heat up, Jiang Nian wanted to take it out and take a look, and remembered the glimmer of last night, for fear of being discovered, so he hurriedly told Aunt Wang that she was a little uncomfortable in the wind, and asked her to talk to her father, and hurried home.
