The village school was bustling with activity. Women were busy preparing lunch at home, men gathered to discuss what they would do during the New Year, and the elderly gathered together, chatting and laughing while watching the children play.

The whole village was wearing new clothes. The girls were dressed in bright colors, like flower buds, and the boys were tall and handsome. Li Jingwen also went out to walk around the village. Everywhere was a new look, and everyone was wearing new clothes. Looking at his own clothes, he was quite satisfied. "What a great spirit! I wish all the people in Dayan could live like this!!"

Master Li continued walking and looking. Green was everywhere, a winter wonderland. The sun was shining, and the greenhouse vegetables facing south were peeking out. "There's life."

Li Jingwen saw the riddle and tried to guess for himself. ...

When adults called the children to go home for dinner, they all ran away.

In the evening, outside the Chai family's house, on the open ground, there was a tug-of-war competition. The number of players was evenly matched, and Chai Zhen had set up prizes and placed them on the table. Anyone could participate.

The first team to form was surprisingly Huanhuan, Hengheng, Little Milk Bag, Chai Ye, Wangwang, and Mumu. Little Milk Bag and Chai Ye split into two groups, one on each side. Jiale, with three people on each side, shouted, "Ready, go!" All six children, three on each side, exerted their might. In the end, Huanhuan, Hengheng, and Little Milk Bag's team emerged victorious, and Chai Zhenfa gave each of them a piece of durian. The one that didn't win was the apple.

The second group, the village children, were again three on each side. Jiale shouted, "Ready, go!" "Come on, come on!" Little Milk Bag cheered cheerfully. The winner, Chai Zhen's reward, was once again durian. One child took a bite, his eyes widened, and it took him a long time to say, "Delicious!"

The third group consisted of five adults on each side. Jiale laughed heartily and said, "Who will win?" "Ready, go!" It wasn't one-sided. The rope was taut. Jiale shouted, "Try harder!" Jiale picked up a small stone and threw it.

, then the winner was decided, Chai Zhen saw it and ignored him. Each of the ten people got an apple. Everyone took the apple and ate it, hahahahahahahaha, it was fun.

In the fourth group, some women wanted some fruit. Jiale called out, "Ready, go!" This group was divided into two groups, all experienced farmhands and quite strong. Each of the four women received fruit, a peach each. Chai Zhen gave the four who didn't win apples.

The table was filled with melon seeds, and anyone who wanted to eat could take a piece. There were several large bowls of them. If they were gone, someone would refill them.

……

It was late at night and everyone went home to rest. Jiale moved the tables, chairs and benches back home.

The Chai family drank sugar water while Li Jingwen and Chai Zhen talked. Li Jingwen said, "Mr. Chai,..." Li Jingwen had just opened his mouth to say something when Chai Zhen said, "Master, call me Chai Zhen." Li Jingwen: "Okay, Chai Zhen, I've seen with my own eyes in Taohua Village over the past year that everyone here works hard. Every day, you can see everyone is smiling and full of energy!" Chai Zhen: "We are all ordinary people. We just want to have something to eat and be able to eat our fill. Everyone has to work hard." Li Jingwen: "Yes, no one can eat for free. I, an old man, have to work hard to teach. We all have to make a living." Chai Zhen: "You're too polite. Even if you don't move, you will still live well." Li Jingwen: "Everyone has to work hard! It just depends on how hard you work and in which direction you develop." Li Qi came to tell Grandpa to go to bed. Chai Zhen: "Master, take a rest!" Li Jingwen: "Okay, take a rest."

Tonight, Guoguo and Li Ru slept together. Chai Zhen and Ye'er were together. Grandfather and grandson kept each other company. The room was warm and cozy.

A good night's sleep.
