The daily garden of rebirth

Chapter 21 The New Year

It didn't take long for Gu Zhaoyang to come back. Today, he followed a few villagers into the city again, and at the moment he looked like he was in the dust.

Hearing the conversation outside, Tang Qianhe stuffed Gu Yule, who was already full, into the arms of Gu Zhili who was sitting beside him, while he got up and walked out.

Outside the house, Gu Zhaoyang was unloading the goods on the ox cart. Because it was the New Year, he bought a lot, unloaded from the ox cart, and piled up a hill on the ground.

Seeing Tang Qianhe approaching, he looked up at him, then turned his head and thanked the owner of the ox cart. After the two said goodbye to each other, the man led the ox cart and left. He was going back to eat the New Year's Eve dinner .

After the man left, Tang Qianhe raised his hand and gently wiped Gu Zhaoyang's ashes and flushed face with his wide sleeves, but Gu Zhaoyang held his hand instead.

Tang Qianhe was taken aback when his hand was held, and he didn't take it back in a hurry, but said with a smile: "It's just in time to come back, the New Year's Eve dinner is ready, after we take these things in, we can start the meal. "

When Gu Zhaoyang heard that the New Year's Eve dinner was ready, he suddenly remembered something, then let go of his hand, bent down, picked up two paper bags from the top of the hill on the ground, and handed them to Tang Qianhe.

Tang Qianhe took the paper bag, shook it in his hand, and asked, "What is this?"

"Roast chicken and roast duck." After a pause, Gu Zhaoyang said again: "Today is New Year's Eve, so we need to eat something good. We used to eat like this during New Year's Eve."

Tang Qianhe was in a trance when he heard the words, so he nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll heat it up later."

"Yeah." Gu Zhaoyang bent down and hugged the pile of goods, and said, "I'll take the things in first, and you go and heat up the chicken and duck."

"it is good."

There were a lot of things, and Gu Zhaoyang walked back and forth three times by himself before moving them all into the house. After finishing these, he went to the well, fetched water, washed his face and hands, and then walked into the dining room.

At this time, it was completely dark outside. Tang Qianhe lit two oil lamps in the dining room, so it was very bright. As soon as Gu Zhaoyang walked in, he could smell the aroma of food in the air. He looked at the six dishes on the table. Cai, a satisfied smile flashed in his eyes.

Gu Zhili, who was sitting on the bench and playing happily with his younger brother, heard footsteps, raised his head, saw his older brother came back, showed a big smile, and called out brother.

And Gu Yule, who was holding onto Gu Zhili's two fingers to turn them over and play happily, heard the sound, turned his head, his big black and white eyes lit up, turned around, and wobbled towards Gu Zhaoyang's. Fang Xiang rushed over, still smiling happily with a 'giggle' in his mouth.

Catching the younger brother who had just reached his knee, Gu Zhaoyang looked at the younger brother who was happily rubbing his head against his body in his arms, and then looked up at his second brother who was sitting on the bench with his head tilted and looking at his second brother, feeling that this kind of life now , it would be great if it could go on forever.

When Tang Qianhe came in with the hot roasted chicken and roasted duck, he felt very warm when he saw this scene. He stood there and watched for a while, until Gu Zhaoyang noticed his presence and reminded him loudly, then he came back to his senses .

With a touching smile on the corner of his mouth, Tang Qianhe walked in, put all the roast chicken and duck in his hand on the table, then turned around and called Gu Zhaoyang and the others to come over for dinner.

The food on this table was the most sumptuous meal they ate this year. Among them, everyone liked the boiled fish and boiled pork slices prepared with great care by Tang Qianhe. Although it was a little spicy, But it is also very suitable for eating in this kind of winter. When you eat it in your mouth like this, even your body that was frozen stiff will start to warm up.

When Gu Zhaoyang and Gu Zhili were about to eat all the boiled fish, Tang Qianhe stopped him aloud: "Wait, don't eat this fish clean, keep some of it, put it until tomorrow, which is equivalent to saving it until next year, which means year after year More than enough."

After listening to Tang Qianhe's words, Gu Zhili stared at him with chopsticks in his mouth, blinking his eyes: "Big brother, what does it mean to have more than every year?"

Tang Qian smiled gently, and said softly: "It literally means that there will be surplus every year. It means that life will get better and better, and the family will get richer and richer."

Gu Zhili's eyes widened: "Really, then I won't eat it, I will keep the fish, so that we will have many, many delicious things to eat every year."

Tang Qianhe heard this, smiled, and then picked up a chopstick of green vegetables for him. When he saw Gu Zhili's pitiful face wrinkled because of the chopsticks, he stretched out his hand and tapped him on the head lightly: "No picky eaters are allowed. , you know? Just like before, you have to eat everything, so that you can grow taller and stronger."

Gu Zhili puffed his cheeks, although he didn't like it, he obediently stuffed the vegetables into his mouth in the end, paired them with rice, and swallowed them.

Tang Qianhe watched Gu Zhili eat the food, and then smiled and picked up another chopsticks of food for Gu Zhaoyang who was beside him.

Everyone gathers together for a New Year's Eve dinner, and the food is very satisfying, and the atmosphere is very harmonious and warm. It is the twelfth lunar month and winter outside, and it is freezing cold, but in the room, under the lighting of two oil lamps, it is extremely warm, just like the vernal equinox It seems that even the hearts of the people have become softer and warmer.



The next day, the first day of the first lunar month, when Tang Qian woke up, he saw Gu Zhaoyang busy with something in front of the stove with his back turned to him.

It was just dawn, the sky was bright, and the dew was heavy. Tang Qianhe felt the cold rising from the soles of his feet after only a few steps out of the house, and he shivered from the cold.

Hearing the sound of footsteps from behind, Gu Zhaoyang, who was busy in front of the stove, turned around, and when he saw Tang Qianhe, he showed an unusually brilliant smile.

Looking at this smile, Tang Qianhe was stunned for a moment - he had never seen Gu Zhaoyang show him such a bright smile.

"Why are you so happy?" Tang Qianhe came back to his senses, walked to Gu Zhaoyang's side, and asked aloud.

Gu Zhaoyang did not answer, but said: "Today is a new year."

"Yes. The new year has begun." As he spoke, Tang Qianhe took out a red envelope from his arms, handed it to Gu Zhaoyang beside him, and said with a smile: "Happy New Year, Xiaoyang, congratulations on your one-year-old .”

Gu Zhaoyang looked at the red envelope in front of him, but didn't reach out.

Seeing this, Tang Qianhe stretched forward again, and said, "You don't have any elders in your family anymore. It just so happens that I'm older than you, so I'll act as an elder. So you have to collect the lucky money. It's a blessing." You have been healthy and healthy this year."

After hearing this, Gu Zhaoyang stretched out his hand to take the lucky money in front of him, but he stared at the person standing in front of him for a while, and suddenly said seriously: "I'm almost as tall as you now, wait until next year, I will It can definitely surpass you."

Tang Qianhe: "..."

The sky was getting brighter and brighter, and finally, not long after, the sun rose into the sky, and the sun shone on the body, dispelling the chill from the body.

When Gu Zhili took Gu Yule, who was wrapped like a dumpling, out of the room rubbing his eyes, Gu Zhaoyang and Tang Qianhe had already prepared breakfast. Seeing the two children getting up, he took out two red envelopes from his arms and handed them give them.

Holding the red envelope in his hand, Gu Zhili stared round his eyes, and then his big eyes became moist instantly. If he was not holding his younger brother in his hand, he would have thrown himself into Tang Qianhe's arms and started crying. Can't get it.

Gu Yule didn't understand why the second brother's eyes were dropping beans. His attention was completely attracted by the red thing in his hand. He tilted his head and looked at the bag in his hand. He felt a little heavy, but he liked the color , the same color as his body.

Tang Qianhe bent down and hugged Gu Yule who was having fun with the red envelope, then freed up a hand, touched Gu Zhili's soft hair, wiped away his tears, and said, "This year is the first day of the new year. Don't cry, otherwise you will be a crying ghost this year, so Xiao Li wants to be a crying ghost?"

"I don't want it." Gu Zhili heard what he said, and quickly raised his hand, vigorously wiping away the tears on his face: "Xiao Li is not a crybaby."

Teasing Gu Yule, who was nestling in his arms holding a red envelope and enjoying himself, Tang Qianhe saw the child in front of him clenched his fists with a serious expression on his face, and burst out laughing, "Okay, Xiaoli is not a crybaby. Alright, time to have breakfast."

After hearing this, Gu Zhili grinned, blinked his big eyes, and nodded vigorously: "Yes."

After breakfast, Tang Qianhe handed over the child in his arms to Gu Zhili to take care of, while he went to the field with Gu Zhaoyang as usual——

This is almost what Gu Zhaoyang has to do every day after winter.

This year's winter is compared with previous years, and the temperature has not risen for a long time, and the winter is much colder than in previous years. In previous years, the temperature has risen slightly during the new year, but this year, it is still very cold, let alone planted in the ground. The crops are gone.

Many people in Linshui Village have lost crops in their fields. They were either damaged by freezing or looked lifeless. Whether they can survive until the beginning of spring is still a mystery. will definitely decrease.

And the irrigation water for their land has always been the well water in the yard. The well water has already been mixed with the spiritual water in the space by Tang Qianhe. Because of this, the crops in their field have always grown very fast. Well, the green seedlings have grown from germination to green fruits, and they are all very healthy. This makes the two people who have been worried all the time relieved.
