I have the strongest merit system

this day.

The carriage passed a county town.

The county town looks dilapidated, but the whole county town is full of joy, and occasionally there are firecrackers exploding.

After listening for a while, Wei Yang was in a daze.

It turns out that it's the Chinese New Year!

Come on.

It has been more than a year since I came to this world.

Most of the time, they are on the road, eating and sleeping in the open.

I didn't expect to be lucky today, to meet the New Year in this world.

When I got out of the carriage, it was still cold outside.

In the county town and even in some places, there is still snow that has not melted.

Wei Yang smiled, and planned to live here for a while to experience the New Year's atmosphere in a different world.

But after wandering around, Wei Yang found out dumbfoundingly that the inns and restaurants were all closed!

Everyone went back to celebrate the New Year.

This New Year's holiday, who did you learn from!

There is nowhere to find accommodation.

Wei Yang's heart moved, and he drove the carriage around the county town.

After a while.

Wei Yang is outside a small courtyard where the walls are dilapidated and the house is so old that it looks precarious.

His mind perception.

It was found that there were three people in the small courtyard.

A grandmother who was bedridden, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who was working hard to make medicine, and a six or seven-year-old thin girl who was screaming from hunger but resisted speaking.

Such a picture made Wei Yang pause for a moment, then he straightened the carriage and went to knock on the door.

Heard a knock on the door.

The younger sister was the first to react, stood up hastily, and came out to check.

Seeing Wei Yang standing outside, he froze for a moment, then ran back.

After a while, the boy and his sister came out together.

After opening the courtyard door, the young man looked at Wei Yang suspiciously: "Who are you?"

Wei Yang said: "I'm a passing traveler. I wanted to stay overnight, but it seems that there is no inn open. Seeing that it's getting late, I hope to come to your house for a night. I don't know if it's convenient?"

The young man looked Wei Yang up and down and asked, "How many people do you have?"

"It's just me, and there is a domestic dog who accompanied me on my study tour. It is very obedient and won't bite."

The young man finally nodded; "My house has a spare room, I can stay overnight, but my grandma is not in good health, as long as I don't disturb her."

"Thank you."

Afterwards, Wei Yang returned to the carriage, took out a bag of noodles, and some hunting venison, wild goat, etc.

"Ah, it's okay to stay overnight. I'm not an inn here, and I don't charge money."

Seeing the noodles and meat, both brothers and sisters couldn't help their throats twitching, but the boy still insisted on refusing.

Wei Yang smiled and said, "I want to eat too, and since I'm staying overnight, I'm always embarrassed to eat at your place, right?"

The boy didn't refuse.

into the house.

It's a strong medicinal smell.

The boy hurried to nurse.

The younger sister hid beside her, secretly spying on Wei Yang.

Wei Yang went to the master bedroom first, and looked at the old lady who was lying on the bed. She was skinny and extremely weak, but her illness was not a serious one.

Wei Yang greeted him politely and explained the reason.

Although the old lady was weak, she still politely said that it was okay. The implied demeanor clearly showed that her background was not too bad when she was young.

Afterwards, Wei Yang looked at the boy and asked, "Where is the kitchen?"

The boy said, "It's in the hut outside."

"Okay, I'll go cook."

After speaking, Wei Yang went to work.

The boy hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

When I entered the kitchen, it was really clean.

There is only a small layer of coarse grains similar to corn crumbs in the rice jar.

But the tank was full.

There is also enough firewood.

Wei Yang didn't say anything.

He returned to the carriage and took out many prepared condiments.

Then start cooking.

It's easy to do.

Wei Yang is going to make noodle soup.

However, Wei Yang added minced meat to the pimple soup, as well as some medicinal essence extracted from medicinal materials, which nourishes the body, strengthens the muscles and bones, and can also help the old lady treat hidden diseases.

After a while, the aroma permeated the air.

The two brothers and sisters in the house were all groaning, but neither of them went to the kitchen.

Some of them are sensible and distressing.

Not long after, Wei Yang cooked the meal, came into the house, and said with a smile, "Shall we have something together?"

The boy quickly waved his hands: "No need, we..."

He hasn't finished yet.

My sister's stomach growled.

For a moment, the boy's face turned red.

Wei Yang smiled and said: "You're welcome, I live here with you, I don't pay the rent, but I pay some food, this is what I should, I think, you should understand the rules of fair trade, I am a scholar, you are not easy to let I live here for nothing, if I feel so at ease in the future, when I become an official and become a corrupt official, you will also be responsible for this."

The teenager was dumbfounded.

It's just embarrassing to eat, how can you go so far?

Look at Wei Yang's sincere face.

And I, my sister, and even grandma haven't eaten yet.

He originally planned to wait until the medicine was boiled, and then cook. There was not much food, so he could only eat later and less every day to get through this year.

Well now.

The young man was silent for a moment, then bowed deeply to Wei Yang.

Wei Yang smiled and waved to the girl again.

The elder brother agreed, and the girl looked forward to it.

Come to the kitchen.

The young man took the initiative to feed Wei Yang.

Wei Yang said: "Send it to your grandma first. In this noodle soup, I added some medicinal materials, which are good for your grandma's health. Don't drink the medicine you boiled. It's useless and it will hurt your body."

"Ah? Is my medicine useless?" The young man looked scared.

Wei Yang said: "Who prescribed this medicine?"

The young man was ashamed: "I don't have the money to hire a doctor. I have gone to the mountains to collect herbs in the past few years, learned some pharmacology, and asked the doctor about similar situations. The medicines I prepared are the smallest doses. I am also afraid of taking too much." It's not good."

Wei Yang sighed.

The self-help of the poor is so cruel and helpless.

"Send the noodle soup to your grandma first."

"Well, thank you sir."

The boy changed his mouth directly.

This is the grace of life, and he is also a scholar, worthy of respect.

The boy left.

Wei Yang served the girl a bowl.

The girl also bowed before taking it away.

Soon.

Inside the dilapidated hut.

A few people began to drink noodle soup happily.

For a young family of three.

This kind of food is a delicacy that has not been eaten for several years. This is the real Chinese New Year.

The boy even cried while eating.

He is ashamed.

I am already in my teens, but I still can't bear the responsibilities of a family. It is really a shame to let my grandma and younger sister suffer.

Wei Yang ate and gave food and drink, but didn't say anything else.

He can't stay here long.

I am just this family, a ripple on the calm lake, coming and going, leaving no trace.

And this partner for the New Year.

It is the only chance to contact them and give them a little help. What happens in the future depends on their own fate.

After eating and drinking.

Both the boy and the younger sister recovered a little bit of anger.

The grandma in the master bedroom also coughed a lot less.

The young man was grateful to Wei Yang, so he took out the second-best quilt at home, made a bed for Wei Yang, and even cleaned it again.

Wei Yang didn't refuse, and let the young man be busy.

After the girl was full, she looked at the earth dog following Wei Yang, with curiosity and fear in her eyes.

The dog was huge, taller and bigger than any she had ever seen.

The earth dog is lying on the ground now, weak and a little bored.

Full of energy, no dog to do anything, what can I do?
