After seeing Liu Zhu off, Song Yu stood at the door for a long time without responding, until Su He called her, "Ayu."

Song Yu turned around and said, "Let's go back."

Su He hesitated to speak.

The weather was getting colder, so Song Yu took Su He up the mountain again.

She took Su He to the place where she had found him, pointed to a pile of weeds and said, "I found you right here. Does this remind you of anything?"

Su He shook his head: "No."

Song Yu said: "It's okay, I just brought you here to see it."

Su He looked up at the mountain wall in front of him, which was vertical and so high that the top was invisible.

Song Yu noticed and looked up with him: "What are you looking at?"

Su He looked away: "Nothing."

Song Yu thought for a moment and said jokingly, "Did you fall from the top of this mountain? The mountain is so high. If you fell from it, why would you wait for me to save you?"

Su He also smiled and said, "Yes, fortunately it's not."

They went down the mountain and met many villagers returning to the village on the way.

Although there are only about ten households in the village, there are actually quite a few families, but most of the family members have gone to the town to find work.

Only the elderly and those who take care of them remain in the village.

During festivals, the usually deserted village gradually becomes lively.

Some villagers who had just returned didn't know Song Yu very well, but most of them had heard from their families that a young doctor named Song had come to the village.

Everyone is very curious about her.

There were also some people who had already known Song Yu after returning from the last Mid-Autumn Festival, so when they met him on the way home this time, they would greet him with a smile.

The return of people who have been away also indicates that the New Year is approaching.

The heavy snow arrived before the New Year, and when we woke up, everything was covered in silver.

The white snow dyes the green mountains into a unique style.

"Bang bang bang!" There was a noise from the door.

Song Yu was drying herbs in the kitchen, so she didn't hear it, but Su He did.

"Someone is knocking on the door." Su He said.

Song Yu stopped what he was doing, held his breath and listened, and sure enough, he heard several knocks on the door.

She put down the work in her hands and walked out.

I opened the door, and there was no one at eye level. I lowered my head and saw a little boy standing in front of me.

Song Yu recognized him immediately: "Little Stone?"

"Doctor Song," Shitou called out crisply.

"What's wrong?" Song Yu bent down and asked while looking at the stone.

Shi Tou was the second patient she treated besides the village chief's wife. It was also from Shi Tou that she began to be truly accepted by the villagers.

"My uncle has returned from the city, and my mother said this is for you." Shi Tou handed the thing in his arms to Song Yu.

Song Yu was curious: "What is this?"

"It's a thank you gift. Mother asked me to do that." Little Stone said, pushing himself in front of Song Yu, vowing that Song Yu would accept the gift.

Song Yu looked at the oil-paper wrapped thing in Shitou's arms and said, "Okay, I'll take it. Go back and thank your mother for me."

As he spoke, Song Yu took the thing out of his arms. The thing was not too heavy, otherwise he would not have asked the child to deliver it.

Shitou was about to leave when Song Yu stopped him and asked, "Do you want some candy?"

Shitou smacked his lips and nodded. Song Yu smiled and rubbed his head, saying in a friendly manner, "Then wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the house, his steps light.

"Boy, you're still drooling at such a big age, aren't you ashamed?" Su He leaned against the door frame, looking at Shi Tou with a little disgust.

Shitou didn't notice Su He at first, until Su He spoke. He was startled and looked up to see that it was Su He.

He tilted his head and looked at Su He, as if he was trying to recall who he was.

After a while, Shitou suddenly realized: "Doctor Song's young husband!"

Su He narrowed his eyes and stared at him. He said in a threatening tone, "What did you say? Say it again."

Shitou was not afraid at all, and even chuckled: "Doctor Song's young husband, I know, my mother told me so."

"What else did your mother say to you?" Su He asked.

Shi Tou was about to answer when he saw Song Yu walking towards him with a small bag. His eyes immediately fell on Song Yu.

Song Yu walked up to him, spread out his palm, and opened the cloth bag in his hand.

Sparkling homemade fruit candies appeared in Song Yu's hands.

Song Yu took one and said to the stone, "Open your mouth."

Shitou opened his mouth obediently and Song Yu stuffed a candy into his mouth.

Stone's eyes lit up when he tasted the candy.

Song Yu saw it and asked with a smile, "Is it delicious?"

Shi Tou nodded repeatedly, his eyes bright.

Song Yu stuffed the whole bag of candy into his hand and said, "Take it and eat it."

In the next few days, people came to visit Song Yu one after another and gave her gifts.

Most of them were treated by Song Yu from the village.

Three days before the New Year, Song Yu went door to door to return gifts to the villagers.

The gift she brought back was very practical: the bacon and braised meat that she had started pickling in the fall.

The villagers were all a little overwhelmed when they received the meat.

One reason is that pork is not as good as poultry. The rich don’t eat it because it is too fishy, and the poor don’t want to eat it because it is too expensive.

Song Yu not only gave them meat, but also taught them how to cook it.

After delivering the gifts, Song Yu also returned home and officially started cleaning the house with Su He.

She has been here for more than half a year. The house has gone from being dilapidated at the beginning to being presentable now, thanks to Song Yu's management and the help of everyone in the village in repairing it.

With the sound of firecrackers, the curtain of the New Year officially opens.

Su He handed a strip of cloth bag to Song Yu.

Song Yu looked at the cloth bag in Su He's hand. It was obvious that there was something inside. "What is this?"

"New Year's gift." Su He said.

Song Yu was a little surprised: "When did you prepare it?"

Su He said, "Thank you so much for saving me and taking me in."

Song Yu didn't accept it immediately. She said, "Ah, but I'm not prepared!"

Su He smiled and said, "I didn't save you." Then, under Song Yu's gaze, he opened the cloth bag, revealing a smooth wooden hairpin.

The hairpin is engraved with flower branch patterns, and the head of the hairpin is carved with two small flowers, one is in bud and about to bloom, and the other is gorgeous and tempting.

"What kind of flowers did you carve?" Song Yu asked curiously.

Su He said, "Quercus sylvestris."

"Escherichia?" Song Yu was surprised. She thought Su He would carve peach blossoms or pear blossoms.

Su He said, "I don't have any money, so I can only make some small things myself. If you find it distasteful..."

"No, I'm not disgusted." Song Yu explained: "I'm just a little surprised that you carved so well. I found that you are really versatile. I suddenly really want to know what kind of person you were in the past."

Su He heard this, his eyes flashed, and he whispered: "Maybe when you know it, you will regret it."

"What?" Song Yu didn't quite hear.

"Nothing," Su He came back to his senses, then looked at Song Yu cautiously and said, "Will you accept this gift?"
