"Okay, grandma, don't stay too long, it's cold." Winter nights are especially long and cold.

Sui He yawned and walked slowly towards my room. Just when she was about to close the door, she found that grandma's door was open.

Grandpa came out in a cotton coat, yawned, and sat down next to grandma.

"Why did you come out? What are you doing when you're still drunk?" Grandma looked at him disapprovingly.

"It's enough to sleep for a while." Grandpa picked up the teapot beside him and poured himself a cup of warm water: "Didn't I promise you that I would stay with you every year? I can't break my promise, right?"

Sui He closed the door with confidence after seeing his grandfather come out, kicked his feet and threw himself onto the bed, holding a corner of the quilt and rolling over to hide himself in the quilt.

I was already very sleepy, and I became even sleepier after occupying the bed. I fell asleep while listening to my grandparents talking.

The next morning, Sui He yawned and got out of bed, put on new clothes and got out of bed.

The morning meal on the first day of the Lunar New Year was simple. I cooked some dumplings. Anzhi likes to eat dumplings, so she makes dumplings when she has nothing to do.

She makes dumplings every two days. I don't know if she is tired of it. Suihe is really tired of eating them.

Last year, there were only three of them at the New Year. This year, there was one more person, so they prepared an extra red envelope, the same as the one given by Sui He, which was a small silver ingot.

Well-behaved, very beautiful

Although Suihe is the elder sister, she doesn't need to give Anzhi a red envelope since she is not married yet.

Once the red envelopes were received, the necessary procedures began, and those who were supposed to go home also started to go home.

Suihe wore a new padded jacket and took Anzhi for a stroll outside the door. This year, many children in the village changed into clean clothes. Life was getting better now, and they were reluctant to make a new set of clothes for everyone. So they washed their old half-new clothes and used them as new clothes for the New Year.

They were not afraid of wasting firewood and washed their whole bodies thoroughly, so all the children in the village were very clean today.

On the first day of the new year, you cannot use a broom or splash water, so as not to splash out the wealth. These children are washed on the 30th of the new year. Light a pot of fire in the room, throw them into warm water, scrub them clean, and take them out.

The children in the village will more or less have one or two copper coins as New Year's money, which they will save to buy candy figurines on the street.

Grandpa and grandma packed up early in the morning and prepared to go to town for a stroll. When the New Year comes, people from the surrounding villages will go to the town to attend the market.

At this time, all kinds of snacks and fun things are everywhere on the streets. People who have been busy for a year will take this opportunity to have a good rest, and some vendors will also take this opportunity to make a fortune.

Anzhi was also called by the aunts in the village to go to the market.

Sui He did not go, but walked on the back mountain. In the first month of the year, the weather gradually warmed up, and the thin snow on the ground had melted into the soil, nourishing the seeds that fell from the trees.

It was almost noon, and the forest was still foggy. Sui He walked step by step, slowly climbing up the mountain.

She left the noisy sounds of the village below the mountain behind her. There was a stone on the top of the mountain, and the stone was covered with water droplets. Sui He took out a handkerchief to wipe the water off, and then put another handkerchief underneath.

Suihe sat on the stone and looked down the mountain

The sound of firecrackers could be heard faintly from the village at the foot of the mountain.

Sui He sat alone on the mountain, his nerves, which had been tense for a year, finally relaxed at this moment.

As the year draws to a close, Mr. Ning asks someone to bring him a New Year gift and a letter. The sweet potatoes planted in autumn have a good harvest and will be distributed across the country.

He will also choose suitable places to plant high-yield rice, and strive to plant this high-yield rice in all places where rice can be grown in two years.

It's just that these things will be promoted in the name of their Ministry of Agriculture (the department in charge of research on crops), and the reason was also told to Suihe.

Mr. Ning said that this was all temporary, and when the dust settled and the world was at peace, he would tell the world who these things belonged to.

Sui He agreed. She didn't care about these things, and she didn't like too much attention. If the court came forward, she would have less trouble. As for the signature, she told Ning Lao the names of the father of rice and the father of sweet potatoes.

She is just a porter, and the credit should not be hers.

Mr. Ning also told her that she could do whatever she wanted in the future, and no one would stop her and no one would cause her trouble. He had arranged everything.

Sui He also asked someone to take the New Year gift over. Although she didn't know the address, she had a way to hand the gift over to Shopkeeper Li, who would find his

The bottle of wine specially reserved for her was also brought along. I wonder what Mr. Ning's expression was when he saw the bottle of wine.

Qi Xiuyuan was traveling outside, and his family was looking for him like crazy, but they didn't know where he went.

However, the group should come back on New Year's Eve.

General Cui rushed back to take charge of the border because it was close to the end of the year and the border was ready to move.

The sound of firecrackers in the village reached her ears. Sui He curled her lips. It seemed as if the bustle of the village did not belong to her.

Sui He sat quietly, listening to the occasional firecrackers in the village and thinking about next year's plans.

Because last year we had a good harvest of rice and sweet potatoes.

This year, everyone else in the village will follow their lead and plant whatever they plant. Cash crops like rice, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers will bloom first in Qingshan Village.

Anzhi has also acquired a skill that can support himself, and in a few months he will go out with Shopkeeper Li to see the world.

Grandpa and grandma are still healthy. They either take a walk or chat with people every day. Grandpa was basically in charge of the tofu shop last year, so the money earned should be given to him.

At the end of the year, I gave all the money to my grandfather and his family. It wasn't much, but it was enough to ensure they would have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

It seemed like everything was starting to go well, which was a happy thing, but why did she feel so empty inside now?

The Chinese New Year is really lively, but she feels a little unreal

"Second Sister" a voice came from the bottom of the mountain

Anzhi came back from the street and saw that no one was home, so he stood at the door and shouted

The sound was so loud that it reached Sui He's ears on the top of the mountain. Sui He suddenly came to his senses, and the uneasy feeling in his heart instantly disappeared.

Hearing the shouts coming from the bottom of the mountain, Sui He stood up, called out, and then went down the mountain the same way he came.

How could it not be true? Aren’t these all things she experienced personally?

After a few days of leisurely life, the spring came late this year and the Polygonum multiflorum has not yet emerged.

If you want to eat it, you can only wait until the New Year is over.

My grandma and her family loved eating last year's Houttuynia cordata and were waiting for this year's. But...

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shopkeeper Li sent several more gifts, including one from the Qi family, one from General Cui, and one unsigned gift.

Shopkeeper Li didn't know who sent it, but he just sent it to Suihe from his family. He also specifically told Suihe to keep it safe.

Suihe opened it and saw a jade tablet inside.

The jade token was white and cool to the touch, with symbols engraved on it that she didn't recognize.
