"Your mother used to be a maid in a big family. It is said that she followed the young lady and was married to the big official's house. This jade lock should be rewarded by the master when you were born, right?" Miao entrusted him to keep it. When the jade lock was in use, the old patriarch saw its extraordinaryness at a glance. After Miao's death, he also fell into deep entanglements and contradictions.
Miao was obviously guarding her man, and the existence of Yusuo was only known to the old patriarch except Miao himself. If he took it for himself, he would naturally not be known by others. Especially when Gu Ye'er was rubbed by his stepmother and his life was at risk. For a moment, he thought: If Gu Ye'er died like this, wouldn't the jade lock be returned
However, his conscience reminded him all the time that doing so was against his conscience, which would make him immersed in the torture of self-blame in the future, and he would never think about living a stable life.
Seeing the Gu Ye brothers and sisters living a dire life, the old patriarch knew that even if she handed over the jade lock to Gu Ye'er, she would not be able to keep it, and in the end she was cheapening Liu's greedy woman. So, the old patriarch secretly made a decision that if Gu Ye'er was held down by Liu's forever, without the ability to protect himself and his belongings, the jade lock would be kept by him forever.
When Gu Ye'er was adopted by the fifth brother from the distant family, she was fortunate enough to worship a master with excellent medical skills. The old patriarch began to fall into torment again, will the jade lock be returned, or not? This tangle, several months have passed.
A few days ago, the carload of valuable gifts and supplements made him clearly realize that his distant fifth brother was far more than a mere soldier. Being able to speak in front of the old generals, never begrudge the money spent on the two children, and the majesty revealed from time to time on weekdays, all show his extraordinary status in the army.
Coupled with that girl's master Ye'er, being able to rescue the major general who made the military doctor bewildered, and connect Zhang Lihu's hamstrings, is definitely at the level of a hidden genius. Even if Gu Ye'er only learned one or two of his skills, his medical skills are far from what ordinary doctors can match. When people eat whole grains, how can they not guarantee that they will not get sick? Befriend a famous doctor, when necessary, you can save the lives of yourself and your family!
After weighing the two sides, the old patriarch finally made the most sensible decision. Coincidentally, Miao's inheritance was involved today, so he took this opportunity to return the jade lock and swaddle to Gu Ye'er.
Seeing Yusuo and the half-old swaddle, Gu Ye suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar? Those bloody plots in the past life, not often with the help of swaddles and jade, etc., to uncover the mystery of their own life experience, so as to recognize their biological parents and live the life of a lady
Cough cough! Wake up! If you were adopted by the Miao family, would the village have no news at all? Gu Qiao's scumbag, can he defend himself when everyone accuses him of ignoring his biological daughter? Perhaps, as the old patriarch said, it was a gift from the master! What a generous master, willing to give away suet jade!
However, with such a master family, the mother of the original master, how could she be willing to leave and return to this backcountry to seek a living? Gu Ye left the old patriarch's house with a belly full of doubts.
Back at his home halfway up the mountain, Gu Ye shoved the jade lock into his brother's hands: "This jade lock is still worth a few dollars. You keep it as an heirloom of our old Gu family, and then pass it on to my eldest nephew!"
Gu Ming seemed to have got a hot potato, and hurriedly returned it: "The old patriarch said, this is left to you by my mother! As a brother, I have no good things for you, and if I steal your things, what face is there? To be your brother?"
The younger sister can make money at a young age. As a man, he had to rely on his grandfather and sister to live, which made Gu Ming very depressed. He turned this frustration and depression into motivation to work hard, and he worked harder no matter whether he practiced or studied.
Seeing his brother's refusal attitude was very firm, Gu Ye had to put away the jade lock and said with a smile, "I'll take it for my little nephew first, and then you have no reason to refuse your aunt's gift."
Gu Xiao said: "It is said that jade is the most supportive. Girl, don't keep this jade lock. It is good for your body to wear it."
"Yes, yes!" Gu Ming raised his hands in agreement, "The more you wear it, the more moisturizing it is. Go and put on the tie that Aunt Yan made up for you, and wear it now."
Under the "supervision" of the grandfather and grandson, Gu Ye put the jade lock on his neck. The jade is warm and moist, like a mother's hand, gentle and warm.
After a delay at Gu Qiao's house, it was almost evening. There is a custom of eating dumplings in Xiaonian. Aunt Yan has already prepared the stuffing, just waiting for them to come back and make dumplings. The whole family makes dumplings together, and there is a New Year's atmosphere.
Aunt Yan prepared three kinds of dumpling fillings, three fresh, leek and egg, and cabbage and pork. The sky outside was covered with lead gray clouds. The north wind whistled and blew the dead branches that had lost their leaves. It was freezing cold outside, but inside the small kitchen was a warm room.
Gu Xiao squeezed the dumplings awkwardly, looking at his "works" of different sizes lying crookedly on the chopping board, his old face couldn't help turning red. At the beginning, Gu Ming was clumsy, but gradually he became proficient, and the dumplings he made became more and more neat. The best craftsman, of course, is Aunt Yan. She holds different fillings into three kinds of dumplings, which are as beautiful as works of art. Appetites to look at.
The most shocking thing was Gu Ye's dumplings, which were even worse than Gu Xiao's. The dumplings she made were twisted and twisted.
At first, Aunt Yan patiently taught her how to pack, but when she saw her works that did not make much progress, she ran out of patience and drove her back to the pharmacy to toss her medicines.
Gu Ye looked innocent. In her previous life, she was a culinary idiot, not to mention making dumplings, even if she cooked white porridge, it was hard to swallow. In the memory of this life, I had eaten dumplings before the age of seven. After Liu entered the door, she did not even let her see the shadow of dumplings. How could she be able to make dumplings
It's those dumpling skins, you can't get along with her, okay? She has studied very seriously, she can only blame her for lack of talent. Alas, no one is perfect, maybe she lacks the culinary skills in her mind.
Depressed, Gu Ye closed the door, entered the space, and tossed out many difficult potions, including a healing potion that would not die even after multiple injuries! Bottles of potions were born from her hands, and the frustration of learning to make dumplings has long been replaced by a sense of accomplishment. She really is a genius!
When the dumplings were out of the pot, Gu Ming set off firecrackers outside the door, and the crackling sound of firecrackers added the taste of the New Year to the cold and lonely mountain village. The sound of firecrackers from the Gu family was just the beginning. The sound of firecrackers rang out in the village one after another, and everyone who lived a good life would set off firecrackers and eat dumplings.
Outside the house, snowflakes fell down at some point. Indoors, the family gathers around the kang table, eating hot and fragrant dumplings. Everyone was talking and smiling. In the festive atmosphere, Gu Ye's heart added a sense of belonging. After two lives, she finally felt the warmth of home. The only thing she regretted was that her old urchin master couldn't come back to spend the new year with them.
Twenty-three, candied melons stick; twenty-four, sweeping the house;
Twenty-five, grinding tofu; twenty-six, stewing big meat;
Twenty-seven, slaughter the rooster; twenty-eight, make the face;
Twenty-nine, steamed buns; thirty nights make a night
The wind and snow in the next few days did not affect the atmosphere of the New Year in Qingshan Village at all. Every household is preparing step by step. By the age of 30, the snow on the ground was not knee-deep. The industrious people of Qingshan Village have swept out the roads leading to each household in the village. Gu Xiao and Gu Ming, the first thing to do every day is to clean up the snow in the yard and the road in front of the door.
Gu Ye couldn't help much in the kitchen. Every day, apart from making medicine, he just made some new things, like ice lanterns, and sledges. The two horses in her stable were dragged out by turns to pull the sleigh. At the door of her yard, she kept coming to see the fresh children all day long.
Gu Ye also pulled out a set of ski tools, skis, ski poles, bindings and the like from the space. When I found my grandfather was free, I let him use stronger wood to make a few sets of skiing tools.
In a previous life, when Gu Ye was still in school, he was dragged by his classmates to learn how to ski. In the ten years of troubled times, I almost never touched it again. However, she is a bit basic, and it is still relatively quick to pick up. After a few falls, she was able to move freely around the village on her skis.
The agile movements, skilled skills, and rapid speed made the children in the village envious. They pestered the adults in the family and made them a set of ski tools. Adults who are at home with cats are also idle when they are idle. After consulting Fifth Master Gu, not only did they make snowboards for their children, but many adults who never gave up playing also prepared a set for themselves.
There are more and more adults and children walking on skis and waving ski poles in the village, which has almost become the unique scenery of Qingshan Village. The village chief grabbed his eldest grandson and took off the snowboard from his feet. After careful research, he felt that the snowboard was more flexible, convenient and labor-saving than the sled. In the future, even if the mountains are covered by heavy snow, they will no longer be as helpless as before.
Before she knew it, Gu Ye ushered in her first new year after crossing. Meimei ate a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. The three grandfathers and Aunt Yan gathered around the kang table, smashing melon seeds, nibbling on frozen pears, and chatting. Yao Sheng was unable to come back in the end, and spent the New Year with his disciples, which made Gu Ye feel a little disappointed. However, grandpa and brother deliberately played tricks, and Aunt Yan's delicious cakes quickly diluted this slight regret.
There were no programs in the vigil, and it was easy to get sleepy, so Gu Ye asked his grandfather to cut bamboo pieces and draw a pair of poker to teach everyone to "fight the landlord" and "run fast". The old man who just learned to play cards, the more he plays, the more energetic and interested he becomes. After the firecrackers have been set off at midnight, and the dumplings in the early morning have been eaten, they still refuse to rest. Gu Ye had no choice but to hold his hard eyelids and play cards with the duo groggy.
