Mazui Village used to be very poor, but very lively. Now all that is left is poverty. Most young people leave the village and never come back even for the New Year. As the older generation slowly leaves, the whole village becomes quieter and quieter.
During the Chinese New Year, the sound of firecrackers never stopped from dark to twelve o'clock in the morning. On New Year's Eve now, only the occasional sound of firecrackers can be heard.
Da Heitou has not returned to the village to celebrate the New Year in three years, and Lushan people have not returned to the village this year. Bai Ling is at Donghai University and said he wanted to work part-time during the winter vacation but did not return to the village to celebrate the New Year.
Lu Xun's health was getting worse and worse. At Liu Ni's strong request, Lu Xun and Lao Huang were invited to their home to celebrate the New Year.
Although she was just a child picked up by Daoyi and had no idea who her ancestors were, Liu Ni lit up incense in the main room, placed a large piece of fat meat, and placed a bottle of old wine. Burn a stack of paper money and mutter something like, It’s the New Year, please invite your ancestors to go home to celebrate the New Year. Good wine and meat, Xiao Nizi has prepared it. Although the money is not much, it is Xiao Nizi’s appreciation. Don’t be too little. Please bless Grandpa Lu to get well soon, bless the mountain man brother to be safe in the East China Sea, bless the big blackhead to go well outside, bless Grandpa Huang to live a long life, bless Grandpa Daoyi not to be so slovenly, bless Xiao Nizi to get better and better. The more beautiful you look.
After setting off firecrackers in the yard, Liu Ni came to the kitchen and started cooking New Year's Eve dinner.
In the main room, Lu Xun was lying on the couch, looking haggard. Old Huang checked his pulse from time to time, and Dao Yi stared at the brazier with an unhappy face.
"Look, my little girl is such a good girl, but why does she end up like Lu Shanmin?"
Old Huang glared at Dao Yi and said, "Shut up."
He said everything and said, "Shut up, this is my home. If I hadn't pitied you, an empty nester, you would have been eating ashes alone at home."
Old Huang forcibly resisted the urge to take action and snorted coldly.
Lu Xun opened his eyes and patted Lao Huang's hand, "If you eat other people's food, don't let them say it. There is no such thing in the world. Let him complain."
Dao Yi pointed at Lu Xun proudly, "Look, it's up to scholars to be reasonable. You are just a passionate warrior. Hey, you are already seventy years old, but you still look like seventeen. "The green head is stunned."
"Huh, don't put too much money on your face. Xiaonizi and Jiujin have been as close as brothers to Lu Shanmin since they were young. They naturally help each other and have nothing to do with you, an old bastard." Lao Huang said angrily.
Daoyi rolled up his sleeves and blew his beard, "It's okay if I don't say it, but I get angry when I talk about it. What does it mean to be as close as brothers? Can't you see that Xiao Nizi's feelings for Lu Shanmin are endless?" Do you care about this family relationship?" He pointed at Lu Xun, "Old man Lu, I am just a granddaughter. If Lu Shanmin dares to hurt Xiao Nizi in the future, even if you die, I will dig you out and whip your body."
Old Huang roared, veins bursting all over his body, "Believe it or not, I will crush you to ashes right now."
"Cough cough cough cough", Lu XunHe covered his mouth and coughed, then let go of his hand. The handkerchief was covered with black blood.
Lao Huang quickly took out the acupuncture he carried with him and inserted acupuncture needles into Lu Xun's body.
"Mr. Lu, don't scare me."
Dao Yi also trembled, "Old man Lu, today is New Year's Eve. Don't die, it's unlucky."
Lao Huang glared at Dao Yi fiercely and continued to prick Lu Xun's head.
Lu Xun regained his breath and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I can't bear to die during the Chinese New Year."
Xiao Nizi, who was walking into the main room carrying dishes, saw the handkerchief covered in black blood on the ground, her lips trembled and she shed tears. Brother Shanmin left Grandpa Lu to take care of him, but he did not take good care of Grandpa Lu. Putting the hot dishes in her hands on the table, Xiao Nizi turned around and walked into the kitchen, wiped away her tears, and continued to stir-fry the next dish, stir-fried white meat, which was Grandpa Lu's favorite dish.
After a few injections, Lu Xun's energy improved a lot. He looked at the two of them and said lightly, "The young eagle needs to fall and be beaten countless times before it spreads its wings. Before the mountain people meet those enemies, , you should stop participating, if he can't handle what happened before, and you are just a few more sacrifices in vain."
Old Huang nodded, "I understand this."
Daoyi sighed, "Old man Lu, do you think that even if Lu Shanmin has grown to the height of Chenlong, his sacrifice was not in vain? The mountain people have no foundation, and the opponent's strength is even worse. Today is not what it used to be, this is a dead end.”
Lu Xun nodded, "I know this, so I'm not asking you to help him reach a certain height. I'm just asking you to save his life at the moment when he must die. No matter what revenge or achievement, they are all insignificant."
Dao Yi shook his head, "Who can control this kind of thing? Let me tell you, just kidnap Lu Shanmin back, force him to marry Xiao Nizi, and tie him up in the mountains for the rest of his life."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly, "You think I don't want to? I'm leaving soon. You are all seventy years old. How long can you keep an eye on him? After you leave, Who can keep an eye on him? How can I keep a person and keep my heart? How can I bear to force him to do something he doesn’t want to do against his true will?”
Dao Yi nodded helplessly, "If I had known what happened today, even if I starved to death, I would not have eaten your meal."
Then he said, "The experience of the human heart cannot be gained without personal experience. As you said, it would be better for us not to interfere. With the current situation of the mountain people, no one can survive for a few years." Kung Fu is still unable to contact people at that level. When the time comes, Lao Huang and I will be several years older. When I see that, I will let Jiu Jin and Xiao Nizi get more involved. We cannot protect the affairs of young people for a lifetime. What's more, we don't have the ability to protect them, so they have to rely on themselves in the end."
Old Huang glanced at Dao Yi disdainfully, "I think you are just a coward, and you still claim to be the best in the world in internal martial arts. That's bullshit."
TaoHe held his breath and said, "Don't you be coward? Aren't you also known as the best in the world in foreign martial arts? As a result, you still haven't broken through the last level. You still have to rely on medicine to support yourself. You suddenly changed from a monk to a monk." Doctor".
Liu Ni put a large bowl of stir-fried white meat on the table and said, "Why don't you let Grandpa Lu have a good rest? He is already seventy years old and it is embarrassing to make noises when we meet." .
As he said this, he came over and pushed Lu Xun's recliner, and said softly, "Grandpa Lu, it's time to eat. I made your favorite stir-fried white meat."
Daoyi blew on his beard and said sadly, "Whose granddaughter are you?"
The bar had a holiday a few days ago. Tang Fei, Zhou Tong, Meng Ao and other security guards went back to their hometowns for the New Year. Zhang Li also managed to grab a plane ticket and go back yesterday.
Zuo Qiu and Lu Shanmin were the only two people left in the rental house.
Zuo Qiu cried like a three-year-old child, and he never stopped crying from the first glass of wine, which made Lu Shanmin feel sad in his heart. I don’t know how grandpa is doing. He didn’t go back this year, so his home must be so deserted. In the past few years, Big Black Head hasn’t gone home to celebrate the New Year, and he probably won’t go back this year. Most of the time, Lao Huang is celebrating the New Year at his own home as in previous years. Fortunately, Lao Huang is here, and grandpa has a companion. Xiao Nizi used to come to play with her after the New Year's Eve dinner, but this year she would be very bored if he wasn't around.
Zuoqiu took a bite of food and sobbed, resentful like a little girl.
Lu Shanmin was moved by Zuoqiu's emotions and felt very sad in his heart, "Can you stop crying?"
Zuoqiu wiped his tears and sobbed twice, choking with sobs. Said, "I, I, I miss my parents, grandparents, grandparents, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop." Lu Shanmin quickly raised his hand to stop him, "I'll go back if I miss you. Thirty It’s not a shame for a grown man who is 20 years old.”
"I think so too, but they all think that I am still a civil servant in the Donghai Municipal Committee. How will I face them when I go back?"
Lu Shanmin slapped his forehead helplessly, "Scholars really care about face."
I wiped my tears and said, "This is not a matter of face. My family is proud of me and they cannot accept my resignation."
Lu Shanmin rolled his eyes at Zuo Qiu, "Then why are you resigning? I heard that many college students sharpen their heads and burrow into it after graduation. It's better for you. You deserve to fall for it."
Zuoqiu took a sip of wine and sighed, "You don't understand."
Every festive season, Lu Shanmin misses his family even more, and drinks a full glass of wine, feeling a little sad in his heart. The original intention of going to Donghai in the first place was just to see if the big city was as good as Bai Ling said. I didn't expect to meet Zhang Li, Zeng Yaqian, the old professor, and Mou Dongyun, nor did I expect to become the number one person on Minsheng West Road, with more than thirty people to support. His commitment to them, his responsibility to them, and the subtle changes that occurred unknowingly in his heart tied him tightly to the East China Sea. Donghai is really aA place where once you come, you don’t want to leave, and once you come, you can’t leave.
Zuoqiu's drinking capacity is not good, and today he is homesick and not in a good mood. After a few glasses of wine, his face turns red and his eyes blur.
“I used to serve as the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee in the Donghai Municipal Committee. People inside and outside the system thought that I had a great background and a great backer. In fact, I had a fart backer. Thousands of people were admitted to Tianjing University, thousands of people were admitted to the civil service, and thousands of people were admitted to the Donghai Municipal Committee from a small town. Leng Nuan knew the hardships along the way." He drank another glass of wine. Recite aloud
"Peach Blossom Temple in Taohuawu, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Temple.
The Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach flowers in exchange for wine money.
Sober up from alcohol Just sitting in front of the flowers, drunk and sleeping under the flowers day after day, the flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die in the flower. Don't want to bow in front of the chariot and horse.
Those who are rich in chariots and horses are the same as those who are hermits. /p>
If we compare flowers and wine to chariots and horses, how busy are we?
The world laughs at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can’t see through it. Tombs of heroes, hoeing fields without flowers or wine."
Lu Shanmin recited silently that the world laughed at me because I was too crazy, but others couldn't see through my laughter. He looked at Zuo Qiu, who was already drunk on the sofa, and sighed. , "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, so what have you encountered?"
Mazui Village used to be very poor, but very lively. Now all that is left is poverty. Most young people leave the village and never come back even for the New Year. As the older generation slowly leaves, the whole village becomes quieter and quieter.

“You"Look, my little girl is such a good girl, why did she end up like Lu Shanmin?".
Old Huang glared at Dao Yi and said, "Shut up."
Daozhi said, "Shut up, this is my home. If I hadn't pitied you, an empty-nest old man, you would have been left alone at home, eating ashes."
Old Huang. Forcibly resisting the urge to take action, Lu Xun snorted coldly.
Lu Xun opened his eyes and patted Lao Huang's hand, "There is no reason in the world to eat other people's food and not let others say it." , let him complain a few words."
Dao Yi pointed at Lu Xun proudly, "Look, scholars should be reasonable, you are just a passionate warrior, hey, you are seventy years old They are like seventeen-year-old teenagers."
"Huh, don't put too much gold on your face. Xiaonizi and Jiujin have been close to Lu Shanmin since they were young, so naturally they are in love with each other. Mutual aid has nothing to do with you, an old bastard." Lao Huang said angrily.
Daoyi rolled up his sleeves and blew his beard, "It's okay if you don't talk about it, I'll do it when it comes to this. Angry, what does it mean to be as close as brothers? Can't you see that Xiao Nizi's feelings for Lu Shanmin are more than just family affection?" She pointed at Lu Xun, "Old man Lu, I am just a granddaughter. If Lu Shanmin dares to hurt her in the future, Xiao Nizi, even if you are dead, I will dig you out and whip your corpse."
Lao Huang roared, and veins burst all over his body, "Believe it or not, I will crush your bones and turn you into ashes right now." .
"Cough cough cough", Lu Xun covered his mouth and coughed, then let go of his hand. The handkerchief was covered with black blood.
Lao Huang quickly took out the acupuncture he carried. Prick Lu Xun's body.
"Old Lu, don't scare me."
Dao Yi also trembled, "Old man Lu, today is New Year's Eve. ", don't die, it's unlucky."
Old Huang glared at Dao Yi fiercely and continued to prick Lu Xun's head with needles.
Lu Xun recovered his breath. Come on, smile softly, "Don't worry, I can't bear to die during the Chinese New Year."
Xiao Nizi, who was walking into the main room with the dishes, saw the handkerchief covered with black blood on the ground, and her lips trembled. , leaving tears. Brother Shanmin left Grandpa Lu to take care of him, but he didn't take good care of Grandpa Lu. He put the hot dishes in his hands on the table, Xiao Nizi turned around and walked into the kitchen, wiped away her tears, and continued to fry. The next dish is stir-fried white meat, which is Grandpa Lu's favorite dish.
After a few injections, Lu Xun felt much better. He looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Young Eagle." Spreading wings requires countless falls and hits. Before the mountain people meet those enemies, you should not participate. If he can't handle what happened before, plus you are just a few more in vain. Sacrifice".
Old Huang nodded, "I understand this truth."
Dao Yi sighed, "Old man Lu, do you think Lu Shanmin has grown up to the age that he was? Wasn't Chenlong's height sacrificed in vain? The mountain people have no foundation, and the opponent's strength is not what it used to be. This is a dead end.Ah."
Lu Xun nodded, "I know this, so I'm not asking you to help him reach a certain height. I'm just asking you to save him at the moment when he must die. One life, no matter what revenge, no matter what achievements, they are all insignificant."
Dao Yi shook his head, "Who can control this kind of thing? Let me tell you, just kidnap Lu Shanmin back and force him to follow the little one. When Nizi gets married, he will be tied up in the mountains for the rest of his life."
Lu Xun smiled bitterly and said, "You think I don't want to, I'm leaving soon, and you are all seventy years old. How long can you keep an eye on him? After you leave, who can keep an eye on him? If you can keep someone, can you keep your heart? How could I have the heart to go against his will and force him to do something he doesn’t want to do?"
Dao Yi nodded helplessly, "I would have known that today would happen. It's a bad thing. Even if I starve to death, I will not eat your meal."
Then he said, "The experience of human beings in the world cannot be gained without personal experience. As you said, we are still It is best not to interfere. Considering the current situation of the mountain people, it will take only a few years for them to be unable to contact people at that level. By then, Lao Huang and I will be several years older. When I see it, I will let Jiujin and Xiao Nizi, please get more involved. We can't protect young people's affairs for a lifetime, not to mention that we don't have the ability to protect them. In the end, they have to rely on themselves."
Old Huang glanced disdainfully Dao Yi said, "I think you're just a coward, and you claim to be the best in the world of internal martial arts. That's bullshit."
Dao Yi held his tongue and said, "If you're not a coward, why don't you also be called an external martial artist?" Is he No. 1 in the world of boxing? But he still hasn’t broken through the last hurdle. He still has to rely on medicine to support himself. He suddenly changed from a monk to a doctor."
Liu Ni was holding a large pot of stir-fry. Bairou put the meat on the table and said, "Why don't you let Grandpa Lu have a good rest? He is already seventy years old and it is embarrassing to make noises when we meet."
As he said this, he came over and pushed Lu. Xun sat on the couch and said softly, "Grandpa Lu, it's time to eat. I made your favorite stir-fried white meat."
Dao Yi blew his beard and let out a heartbroken ouch, "Who are you?" Whose granddaughter?"
The bar had a holiday a few days ago. Tang Fei, Zhou Tong, Meng Ao and other security guards went back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year. Zhang Li also managed to grab a plane ticket and go back yesterday. .
Zuo Qiu and Lu Shanmin were the only two people left in the rental house.
Zuo Qiu cried like a three-year-old child, not since he drank the first glass of wine. After stopping, Lu Shanmin felt sad in his heart. He didn't know how his grandfather was doing. He didn't go back this year, so his family must be so deserted. He hasn't been home to celebrate the New Year in the past few years, and he probably won't go back this year, most likely. Lao Huang is celebrating the New Year at his home as usual. Fortunately, Lao Huang is here and grandpa has company. Xiao Nizi used to come to play with her after the New Year's Eve dinner. She should feel very uncomfortable if he is not here this year. It's boring.
Zuo Qiu took a bite of food and sobbed, feeling resentful like a little girl.
Lu Shanmin was shocked.Zuoqiu was moved by his emotions and felt very sad in his heart, "Can you stop crying?"
Zuoqiu wiped his tears, sobbed twice, and said with a choked voice, "I, I, I miss me." Mom, dad, grandparents, grandparents, and..."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop," Lu Shanmin quickly raised his hand to stop, "I want you to go back, you are a thirty-year-old man, don't be embarrassed?" .
"I think so too, but they all think that I am still a civil servant in the Donghai Municipal Committee. How will I face them when I go back?"
Lu Shanmin slapped his forehead helplessly, "Scholars really care about face."
