Erdaohe Village Committee has no office space.

The first stop of the group went straight to Liu's house.

When the villagers saw that Li Zhenghe was in charge, they were all smiling and busy working for them early in the morning. I heard that someone gave them twenty taels of silver as a gift and entertained the guests warmly.

Mrs. Xu left in a hurry, looking for someone to temporarily pull a cloth to make a flag.

Liu Laozhu led everyone towards his home, while pointing at Bai Muyan and introducing to Shopkeeper Lu and Shopkeeper Guo with a smile, he was a well-known scholar here.

Therefore, with Mr. Bai Xiucai as a witness, please believe that his village will definitely use the twenty taels of silver donated by the two big shopkeepers to be used to rescue caravans coming from the east, west, north and south on the road.

In the future, no matter whether it is windy, rainy or snowy, as long as a caravan falls into a ditch or something happens to someone, their village will send manpower to rescue them faster than the government officials arrive.

Every time after the rescue, they would definitely say no thanks for the wages. If you want to express your gratitude, please note that it was funded by businessmen like them, Shopkeeper Lu and Shopkeeper Guo.

The two big shopkeepers quickly waved their hands and said there was no need for this.

The more sincere Liu Laozhu was, the more emotional the two shopkeepers became.

In fact, this outing was an unforgettable experience for each of their caravans.

I thought that this New Year would be lonely when people are traveling. Unexpectedly, yesterday there were boar heads and incense offerings, a very rich New Year’s Eve dinner, and a fireworks display at night.

I heard that for those shows last night, shops like Xu Dongjia paid for themselves to distribute chickens, ducks and eggs to the villagers, and prepared them with great care to let them have fun here.

Everything, they saw it all.

When an elderly villager performed the Yangko dance to make them laugh in order to stop them from being too homesick, no one knew how warm their hearts were at that moment.

"I don't think there is anywhere in the village where we can gather everyone to talk." It should be that the village with mixed surnames does not have a serious ancestral hall: "Liu Lizheng, use this to build a warm house for everyone. In this way, the next time we meet, we will not only be in the shop, but also I can come to the village and talk to the fellow villagers."

"That's not possible, it's two different things."

Shopkeeper Guo did not force it, but suggested with a smile: "Liu Lizheng, can we subsidize the Yangko team? Is it called Yangko dance?"

"Yes, the dance of planting rice seedlings and twisting them."

"I see that the colorful paper on the fan is missing. I can add some more clothes to make it more lively. Hahaha. Next year some businesses will open a branch here in Zhenbei Dadi, and our village yangko team can go there and make it more lively." By doing business, fellow villagers can still make some money.

Bai Muyan accompanied him, and everyone talked and laughed a lot along the way.

Bai Muyan could feel it through just a short contact. As out-of-town businessmen, the two big shopkeepers especially hoped that the Northland could develop well. The people here in the Northland lived in the harsh weather and had a little more food and clothing. I also hope that the Zhenbei Army can guard the north gate.

He suddenly wanted to write an article about how people from all walks of life, including scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, did their best to make the court prosperous and develop where others could not see it.

Before leaving Liu's house, there is an episode that must be mentioned. Shopkeeper Lu and Shopkeeper Guo gave Mr. Liu and the old lady a red envelope of two taels of silver.

This is considered a personal relationship and has nothing to do with giving it to the village.

He also went to Xu's house to meet the old lady and gave the old lady two red envelopes worth twenty taels.

The old lady was found home from the well.

Many village women said jealously: Old lady, please stop showing off. This morning, I finally saw that you are serious about eating and not nagging, so I started nagging you about your earrings.

Go home quickly, you have to use your daughter-in-law to be looked down upon again, and you can come out to show off together after receiving the guests.

Really, the same people who are too naughty either don’t go out or make others envious and jealous on the first day of the new year. It's not a big deal for you. Did you forget about jumping up and down to fight with your daughter-in-law? What's the point of showing off?

When the old lady heard this, what? A distinguished person came to visit me so early to pay New Year's greetings and take Xiao Run home.

When he got home, he tiptoed into Xu Tianxin's room, picked up the bronze mirror and looked at himself.

"I'm pretty good-looking." Who said she was ugly and not worthy of her old man.

After the old lady finished talking to herself, she carefully put down the bronze mirror, closed the door, and then went to the big house to wait for the guests.

After the two big shopkeepers arrived at Xu's house, they spoke with such sincerity that they must accept it, because they should have prepared gifts instead of simple annual gifts.

This is not something they expected before coming here, that customers and merchants would become friends.

In fact, many of their friends really knew each other this way. Unexpectedly, they came to the North and exchanged identities. This shows that everything is fate.

I spent more time sitting in Xu's house than in Liu's house.

When Xu Youyin served tea and water to Shopkeeper Guo, he also took the opportunity to chat about what style of trees he wanted. Shopkeeper Guo was extremely wise and realized in an instant: "Yes, if you have good ones, I will also accept them. Although I heard that they are extremely rare and it takes thousands of trees to get one or two, I asked the villagers to help me pay attention. I will check on you first when I come next time."

Xu Youyin and his brothers were very happy.

At this moment, Cai Baozi delivered the newly pulled flag to the Xu family. The two big shopkeepers were invited by Mrs. Xu to mention the characters. The first firecracker of the new year.

After Liu Laozhu listened, he quietly gave Mrs. Xu a thumbs up from behind.

When it comes to being able to organize a scene, no one can be better than the one who always calls the shots.

Bai Muyan didn't expect that today he would witness a flag-raising ceremony in Erdaohe.

Bai Muyan didn't expect such a lively scene. Xu Tianxin kept sleeping in the hut, and she didn't know anything at all.

In front of the shop, under the watchful eyes of "Second Master Guan" and a group of young and old men in the village, flagpoles were erected amidst the sound of firecrackers and the cheers of children, and the two big flags fluttered in the wind.

The two shopkeepers rarely blushed and clapped in the presence of everyone.

It will definitely make people feel proud when giving away money.

To use the exact words of Wangjiagou Village's commentator on Erdaohe everywhere after the New Year: This guy keeps making noises, one after another.

In fact, there are three words in modern times that best suit the outside villages' view of Erdaohe, that is, Erdaohe is pure and conspicuous.

After Bai Muyan participated in the flag raising, he returned to the village and went to the Liu family.

He also brought new year's gifts to Liu Laozhu's parents, and ordered the bookboy to bring two boxes of cakes and two jars of wine to the Liu family.

This was such an unexpected surprise, Liu Jingdong was stunned.

Did Mr. Xiu Cai personally give gifts to his family?

Not only Liu Lizheng's parents, Bai Muyan also prepared New Year's gifts for Erdaohe's Fourth Master, Seventh Master, and even Guan Ertu.

For the same reason, Aunt Bai's shop was opened here, thanks to the care of the elders.

And when Bai Muyan looked at the sun outside, he very much suspected that Xu Tianxin was not awake yet. Tian Xin'er needs to be given time to freshen up and dress up.

He was also attentive. When chatting with the Xu family, he learned that the Xu family had not had time to eat all morning.

In order not to cause inconvenience to the Xu family, Bai Muyan simply gave a special class to the children of Erdaohe in the main room of the Fourth Master's house.

This is a lecture given by a scholar.

In order to get more children to come to his house, the Fourth Master took out a bag of candies and distributed them. Even Liu Jingdong was given a piece of candy. He was asked by his biological father to attend.

The famous scholar ignored the adult Liu Jingdong and looked at the children sitting in the hall who were sniffling their noses. He decided to tell how the peach symbols were transformed into Spring Festival couplets and teach the young children how to write through stories.

Bai Muyan's voice was like the sound of a piano.

Wearing a long gown at this moment, he is like the light in the hearts of five or six-year-old children:

"...There is a book that specifically writes that there are two great gods on the sacred mountain, one is called Shen Tu and the other is Yu Lei. They live under the peach trees and use reeds to make nets to trap ghosts. That's why we use two gods. Write their names on a peach board, or draw these two immortals, and hang them outside the door during the New Year. This is the peach charm. Your sister Tian Xin has this book. When you learn to read, you can borrow it from her. Read books.”

"Later, there was an emperor who began to write couplets on peach charms: New Year's greetings, Jiajie Changchun, this is the first couplet, and the peach charms were replaced by Spring Festival couplets."

Bai Muyan continued to speak and then wrote: "This is the word spring, do you remember it?"

The children said with sugar in their mouths: "Remember!"

"Then I'll teach you how to make dumplings again. In fact, your sister Tian Xin told me this story.

There was a medical sage named Zhang Zhongjing. On the day of the winter solstice, he saw that many people’s ears were rotten by the cold, so he used pepper and anti-cold medicinal materials to make fillings..."

Today, when Bai Muyan was describing what kind of person the far-off medical sage was, he specifically used the analogy of Guan Langzhong, who was right in front of him.

Bai Muyan described Guan Langzhong as someone who was as passionate about medicine as the medical sage, and would recall repeatedly in his mind that the children in thin clothes were covered with chilblains all over their bodies. If he had the ability, he would spend his own money to help them resist the severe cold.

Bai Muyan told the children that if they want a good harvest, enough food, and good weather, it depends on God.

But if you want to be healthy, you rely on good doctors like your Grandpa Guan.

A good doctor should be good at medical books and herbal medicine, and he has studied no less books than his brother Bubai, which will take up most of their teenage years.

Good doctors can also see the countless sufferings hidden in ordinary people's homes.

When one day, the plague struck, the village was deserted. War breaks out, and the battlefield is littered with corpses. These doctors are more capable than Brother Bai.

Because doctors with loving hearts like you, Grandpa Guan, will stand up and appear there. They will read all the medical books on the market to find a way to treat it.

In fact, after Bai Muyan finished talking about doctors, he also said that if you want the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe, you need not only good generals, good officials, and good doctors, but also good villagers who love and help each other. Those good villagers are your parents.

Unfortunately, the children really couldn't sit still this time, because they were able to hold back crying at an age when they couldn't hold back their urine.

Children really feel that they have done something wrong.

When they saw Grandpa Guan, they pointed at their hair and shouted Guan Erbalo again and again. How could they do that? They really wanted to say sorry to Grandpa Guan.

Guan Ertu never expected that "famine" would come from the sky while he was sitting alone at home on New Year's Day.

Outside the Guan family gate: "Grandpa Guan, we are here to wish you a happy New Year!"

A group of village children came roaring in. Hundreds of little boys and girls kowtowed as they entered the hospital.

Guan Ertu panicked. He had never given him New Year greetings in previous years, so he was not prepared. What should he do? "Yingsha, Yingsha, my dear girl, please go out and buy candies on credit."

Yingzi happily asked the children to go into the house to play with the tiger, while she happily ran out of the door and complained: "Emma, ​​is it really good to borrow candy from the hungry on the first day of the new year?"

He was stopped by Bai Muyan halfway.

Yingzi watched dumbfoundedly as Bai Xiaoxiucai entered her house holding the wine jar with both hands and two pastries on his shoulders to wish her father a happy new year.

After a while, he came out again carrying food bags and sandbags. What was he doing?

When Xu Tianxin finally got up, finished the New Year's Day dumplings, and brought a plate of dumplings to Guan's house, Lao Tie was shocked.

Children in a yard were popping popcorn under the leadership of Bai Muyan.

The popcorn here is made by boiling water and pouring in the millet, simmering over low heat, then drying and shelling the cooked millet, and stir-frying it with dry river sand and lard. Lard can trap the heat in the sand, and as the river sand continues to heat up, the originally thin rice will turn into plump popcorn in the blink of an eye.

"Sister Tian Xin, celebrate! New Year! Good!"

"Well? Let's kneel with each other, don't kneel, I am not ready for the main sister." She woke up, and the fried balls and sugar gourds were at home. No wonder the baby in the village has not gone to her house to pay the New Year.

Bai Muyan first looked at the sun with a smile and thought, thanks to his preparation.

Then he clenched his fists, coughed, and came to Xu Tianxin: "Happy New Year."

The two of them were surrounded by children from three floors inside and three outside. Xu Tianxin smiled and rolled his eyes, while nodding and saying: "Well, Brother Sihai, happy New Year."

Bai Muyan asked: "Guess what new year gift I will give you?"

The children hurriedly looked at Sister Tian Xin, only to see her smiling and saying in a small voice: "Hahaha, order!"

Bai Muyan felt helpless, but he also laughed: "There is indeed an order, ten small ones, to be placed next to the desk. There is also a gift."

Bai Muyan handed the small box with green bamboo paintings to Xu Tianxin: "I hope you like it."

Xu Tianxin opened the box, and the children raised their feet and took a look. Representatives of Guan Ertu's family, Hu Zheng and Xiao Ya, immediately said: "Wow..."

Wow what wow, she hasn't figured out what it is yet.

It looks like a bamboo hairpin, with three small round silver beads hanging from one end. But is it not etiquette to give a hairpin? I heard that you would only give a girl a hairpin if you have that kind of intention.

It can be seen that it is not a hairpin.

Xu Tianxin twisted it and finally understood what it was: "Charcoal pencil?"

Bai Muyan was a little nervous. He made the pen himself.

He discovered that Xu Tianxin always carried charcoal pens with him and used square wooden chopsticks to hold the pens and insert them into his hair. To be honest, it's a bit ugly. I really hope Xu Tianxin likes this charcoal pen.

"Wow, I really didn't expect it. I really like it. I will definitely use it more. This one is more practical and doesn't make my hands dirty."

At noon, when Bai's father and Aunt Bai came to Xu's house to pay New Year's greetings, they asked Bai Muyan, "Why are you here early?" They thought they were visiting their husband, but they didn't expect to come to Erdaohe first. Aunt Bai was so touched that her nephew specially sent New Year greetings to the elders of the village for her.

Then the Bai family's New Year's gift was carried out of the car, which was the top gift among the villagers. The Xu family was not bad at all. They loaded Tusu wine and cakes, all those prepared by Xu Tianxin, into the car.

"Don't fight with me. This is not for you. Take it home for your children." Mrs. Xu said to Aunt Bai.

No one stayed long to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. On the way home, Bai Muyan told Aunt Bai that he wanted these New Year's gifts. He was also a child and wanted to eat canned food and biscuits.

"Brother Bai, happy New Year, goodbye." Bai Muyan opened the curtain and waved to the children. He had made a bunch of children.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when the married girls from various families in the village return home, the threshold of Lao Xu's family is almost stepped down.

At the same time, Xu Youliang took Yu Qinniang back to her parents' home.

There was a beam of light that was listening to Stefanie Sun, backlighting. Happy New Year to all the pretty girls and handsome guys.
