How can we celebrate the New Year without firecrackers? Although they are not as bright and dazzling as modern fireworks, in the atmosphere of the New Year, the sound can make people happy.

What the little boy is looking forward to most is setting off firecrackers. This year he has become more courageous. He covers his ears with one hand and holds a fire stick in the other. He moves away to light the firecrackers, then throws the fire stick and runs towards Yu Zhi. He lies on his back

He looked up at her and jumped happily, "Mother, mother."

In his eyes, his mother is his whole world. Wherever his mother is, he will be there, and he can laugh and shout happily.

Children are so easily satisfied.

Yu Zhi couldn't do it. She was an adult, and she had lived for three lifetimes. She had her own worries. She couldn't help but feel a little distracted amidst the sound of firecrackers.

I miss my loved ones even more every festive season.

This is not true at all. This is the seventh year that Yu Zhi traveled to the Daqing Dynasty. In his previous life and the previous life... let alone the previous life in the world of cultivation, he had no blood relatives. He also had no particularly close friends in the Qingyun Sect.

, we will not be classmates or colleagues, and we will never forget each other even if we are separated.

But in her last life... Yu Zhi always didn't want to think about how sad her parents must have been when she died suddenly and gave birth to a white-haired girl. Time can heal wounds, but the pain of losing a daughter is easy.

Can it be soothed?

During the Chinese New Year, the whole family was reunited, but she was missing from her home forever. The time when family affection should have been harmonious only opened the wounds of her parents. Yu Zhi could even imagine that her parents looked at each other.

The scene of her crying while looking at her photo.

sad!

There is also the father who has stayed in the capital in this life. He is very good to her. She has taken over the body of another daughter and is willing to be a loving father and a filial daughter. Maybe it is the blood relationship in the body that causes trouble. She does have a natural affection for her father in this life.

Rumu.

She is his only daughter, and she is supposed to provide for him in his old age, but now she is far away. Isn't it too unfilial to leave him alone in the capital?

Still sad!

Wen Jiuxiao, who was setting off firecrackers with her little boy, turned around and saw the expression on Yu Zhi's face, and her heart twitched.

There was a smile on her face, but Wen Jiuxiao felt that her whole body was full of sadness. Her eyes were unfocused and fell on the vast night sky, as if they would disappear in the next moment.

Huge panic gripped him, Wen Jiuxiao's heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. He pulled off a firecracker, lit it and threw it towards Yu Zhi's feet.

The sudden noise startled Yu Zhi and pulled her out of her thoughts. As soon as she turned her head, she saw Wen Jiuxiao raising an eyebrow at her, holding a lit firecracker in his hand and preparing to throw it over...

Yu Zhi suddenly became furious, "Mr. Wen, you don't want to be wrong!" He rushed forward in a rage.

One chased, the other hid, and even dragged the kid into the battlefield. The two adults, whose combined age was over fifty, were as childish as children at the moment.

It wasn't until Yu Zhi was panting from exhaustion, until Wen Jiuxiao put her arms around Yu Zhi's waist and saw her bright eyes that her heart calmed down.

The county government is celebrating the New Year in a lively manner, but the four families of Zhang, Yan, Ma, and Song are having a bit of a bad year this year, because they finally received news from their people who were stationed in the quarry.

The news I received at noon on New Year's Eve... Well, Wen Jiuxiao admitted that he did it on purpose. He asked the guards to keep a close eye on the stewards, and they only relaxed on New Year's Eve.

How can he be worthy of the extra money he gives to the quarry if he stretches his hand so far and doesn't cause them any trouble?

Yes, Wen Jiuxiao is such a narrow-minded person.

The head of the Song family frowned, "What is the county magistrate doing?" Why did he start operating in the quarry as soon as he came up?

His most beloved son, Song Lixian, who was admitted as a scholar at a young age, frowned like his father, "Dad, do you think the county magistrate knows that our family has a hand in this?"

"No way? When he takes office as a new official, how do you know what the situation is in our Shanyun County?"

"Is this good?" Song Lixian breathed a sigh of relief. He admired the new county magistrate very much, and was worried that the county magistrate would have a bad impression of the Song family, which would in turn have a bad impression of him.

】

So he couldn't help but complain, "Dad, I've told you a long time ago that our family shouldn't get involved in such things, and don't get too close to those families. Our family is a scholarly family, with poems and books passed down from generation to generation.

, unlike those of them who only have the smell of copper in their eyes."

The head of the Song family felt that his son's words made sense. All the children of the Song family were studying, and one of them was a scholar. Isn't this a noble family? But he couldn't bear to admit his mistakes, so he just said:

"Fortunately, my son is smart."

Song Yi'an, who was sitting next to him, flashed ridicule in his lowered eyes. What a noble scholar! The second brother looked down on the family's business and felt that the smell of copper had tarnished his innocence as a scholar. But he didn't even think about it.

Where do the drinks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones for studying come from? And when he makes friends and goes on study tours, he never gets a hundred and eighty taels of silver? Why doesn't he dislike the smell of copper?

"Fortunately, the county magistrate doesn't know about it yet. Dad, that's the end of this matter. Our family will just stop it and just pretend it didn't happen." Song Lixian said.

"But that quarry is..." The head of the Song family hesitated, he was reluctant to part with the income from the quarry.

Song Lixian was unhappy, "Dad, can you take a longer view? The quarry can only produce three melons and two dates a year. My son, if I fall in the eyes of the county magistrate and find an official position in the county government, I can get it close to the water."

With the guidance of the county grandpa, if you succeed in your career, won’t it only honor your ancestors?”

Regarding his son's future, the head of the Song family was shocked, "You're right, dad was wrong." His son's future is more important than anything else.

Song Yi'an couldn't help but remind him, "Dad, second brother, don't forget that the county magistrate has sent guards to the quarry. How can he not know the situation in the quarry? I think it's better not to take chances.

It’s better to go and apologize to the county magistrate. As long as our family shows sincerity and attitude, I believe the county magistrate will give him a lighter punishment."

Song Lixian suddenly stood up and accused angrily, "Brother, what do you mean? You don't want to see me sincerely, right? I know you are jealous of your father's respect for me, but can you blame me because I am good at reading? Brother, can you stop being so selfish and have some family ties?

Concept? We are all descendants of the Song family. If I get better, won’t you also benefit from it? You, you disappoint me so much."

Song Yi'an's face turned red with anger, "Am I jealous of you? Ha, are you kidding me? Did you see that I was jealous of you?" Isn't it just that he is better at studying than he is? He really isn't jealous of him.

"If you weren't jealous of me, why did you suggest confessing to the county magistrate? Aren't you just hoping that I would be unlucky?"

"I proposed to plead guilty to the county magistrate just because I hope you will have bad luck?" Song Yian didn't know what his second brother was thinking. He didn't mean it at all, okay? "You really think this matter can be hidden? You can't!"

"Why can't you hide it? The county magistrate has just taken office, what can he know?"

"He knows everything? He is a local official. It's not easy to find out what's going on in the quarry? Just detain the stewards for interrogation." Song Yi'an sneered.

"But you also saw that the steward was not injured."

Song Yi'an looked at his second brother as if he were an idiot. His second brother was stupid because of his studies, so he thought everyone was as stupid as him. But his father still listened to him in everything. Look, the Song family will be ruined by his second brother sooner or later.

On his hand. Suddenly, he felt discouraged, "Forget it, just pretend that I didn't say anything and you didn't listen." Anyway, the Song family is not his alone.

The two sons quarreled, and the head of the Song family was also very unhappy, but he still chose to favor the second son and warned the eldest son: "Boss, don't hold your second brother back."
