Dahei was still cleaning Xiaobai's hair, and the children squatted in front of the kennel for a long time before being called by Zeng Xingyi to go back to the medicine hut to keep warm around the stove.

"This year's weather is colder than previous years," said the family nestled by the stove, with the bamboo windows half-opened, and the occasional cold wind came in, but it didn't stay for long, and the heat in the room quickly dissipated the coldness.

Da Ya carefully baked the big sweet potatoes that Uncle Zhang sent back under the stove, and the two little ones waited eagerly.

Looking at the sky outside, Yao Yan let out a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Zeng Xingzhi who was talking beside him, "It seems that snow is not far away."

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, and sure enough, it snowed heavily that night, and a family in the village almost froze to death. Zeng Xingzhi went to that family with medicine, and when he came back, his brows were slightly frowned.

"The snow will not stop for three to five days. I discussed with the village chief and distributed a small amount of typhoid medicine to everyone, so that if there is an emergency, there will be no panic."

Yao Yan had no objection, and helped Zeng Xingzhi pick up herbs. Fortunately, they had accumulated a lot on weekdays, and now they just came in handy.

This low is free of cash. Zeng Xingzhi’s ability to donate medicines has already made the villagers very grateful, so there is no need for him to send them one by one. After getting accurate information from the village head, one person from each household came to plan. They lined up neatly at the gate of the courtyard.

"Thank you, Doctor Zeng."

"Doctor Zeng is very kind."

"Doctor Zeng, if you can use me in the future, just tell me."

It was not until after noon that the people dispersed one by one.

Zeng Xingzhi stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back, and Yao Yan held an umbrella for him, but because the other party was taller than him, he was really sore.

After regaining consciousness, Zeng Xingyi grasped the handle of the umbrella, and rubbed it for Yao Yan with the other hand, and Yao Yan allowed him to move with a smile.

"Do you feel complicated?"

Yao Yan asked as the two walked towards the main room.

Zeng Xingzhi nodded, "For us, it is just a medicine, but for them, it may be a life-saving rope."

Especially the elderly and children are not resistant to frost. Last year, there was no accident in their village, but in the next village, three children and two elderly people died of freezing one after another.

This year's snow was particularly heavy, and it continued until New Year's Eve. Three families in Lizi Village were affected by the disaster, and the village head temporarily settled them in the school and ancestral hall.

Zeng Nianzhi and his wife also failed to come back, and there were very few people who sent letters, but Yao Yan and the others knew that the snow must have been seriously affected.

"You are just a tasker, even if you save low points, you can't change the natural disaster."

Yao Yan poked the system that was almost in hibernation, and asked if he could exchange points to stop the heavy snow. He knew it was impossible, but he couldn't help asking.

After the system finished speaking, Yao Yan lowered his eyes.

"You have [-] points in this world, do you want to exchange them?"

Yao Yan raised his head, "Exchange."

He exchanged [-] points for a health-enhancing liquid medicine. The natural medicine produced by the system has excellent effects and can be used in many ways.

Yao Yan stewed a large pot of chicken soup and prepared to send it to Yao's house.

Uncle Zhang's house is too old, and it's freezing cold, so he lived in Yao's house this winter, and the low poultry was killed when the snow fell continuously for ten days, dried and eaten .

The fish in the fish pond already have a frozen layer on it because of the frost.

The snow in the yard was cleaned every day by Zeng Xing, but the snow outside the yard was so severe that it could reach knee deep when he stepped into the snow, so Zeng Xingzhi refused to let him go to Yao's house, and carried the food box over by himself. Came back in about a quarter of an hour.

"Hurry up and warm up," Yao Yan held Zeng Xingzhi's cold hand, breathed on him non-stop, and then hurried Zeng Xingzhi to change clothes quickly.

The clothes at home can only be dried by the fire, but fortunately, there is enough firewood at home.

"Auspicious snow heralds a good year, I really hope so." Because of the heavy snow, Grandma Yao can't go out in the cold winter, so this year's Chinese New Year will be celebrated separately. Yao Yan cooked a table of dishes, mostly meat and vegetables, and the vegetables have been buried by the heavy snow. up.

Zeng Xingzhi raised his glass to drink with Yao Yan, "I will definitely."

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the snow finally stopped.

A few days later, when the snow had almost melted, Zeng Xingzhi was invited by the head of the next village to see a doctor for the affected villagers.

Yao Yan entrusted the children to Yao's mother and the others, and set off with Zeng Xingzhi. The trip lasted half a month. They didn't stay in the next village all the time, but wandered around the villages around the town.

Zeng Xingzhi didn't charge a penny for this trip.

When they got home, they both lost a lot of weight, which made Uncle Zhang and the others feel distressed, so they made chicken stew that night to nourish their bodies.

"During your absence, Nianzhi and his wife have been here. Nianzhi said that this year's darts will not be as many as last year. The disaster in Fucheng is serious. The imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief. I just hope that the life of the affected people can survive."

Uncle Zhang was smoking a dry cigarette, with a look of sadness on his face.

Even if the snow has melted, the fields cannot be planted in the spring as before, and the soil has to be re-digged. Last year's plowing was useless.

Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi looked at each other, Zeng Xingzhi said, "Our village is the least affected village, and Xingfu Village has suffered nearly half of the disaster."

"so serious?"

Yao's mother took a breath, and looked at her yard again, "Fortunately, you insisted, we built a new house, otherwise, I'm afraid we can't escape from the old house."

Grandma Yao nodded.

"By the way," Uncle Zhang thought of Yao Yan's house again, "Xiaobai gave birth to a cub, but because it was too cold, I moved their nest to the medicine house."

"What is it like?"

Yao Yan asked immediately.

Zeng Xingzhi looked at him.

Uncle Zhang recalled, "Black and white flower cubs."

Yao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's Dahei's."

This made Yao's mother and the others laugh.

No one lived in the yard for half a month, but Mother Yao and Uncle Zhang would go to clean it up every day, so they took the children back after having dinner at Yao's house.

The family looked around at Dahei and Xiaobai's new cubs, Goudan said, "I will definitely protect Huazai."

"I, I give them food every day." Da Ya clenched her fists and said.

"Then I watch them every day."

The little girl followed suit.

It wasn't until the plum blossoms bloomed that everyone's mood improved a lot with the plum blossoms all over the mountain. Zeng Xingzhi's free visits to the doctor before made him famous. Now if there is any problem, everyone is willing to come to Lizi Village to see him.

At night, Yao Yan discussed with Zeng Xingzhi about building a house. In these low days, at least two patients came to see Zeng Xingzhi every day. When there are many people, the yard will inevitably be crowded.

So I simply thought about rebuilding the house. The front yard was used as a place to see a doctor, pick up medicine, boil medicine and store it, and the backyard was used as a range of activities for their family and a resting and eating area.

Just do what you say, flatten the small medicine field in the backyard, build the former courtyard, and then build the backyard. There is a small courtyard dam between the two courtyards. A place to play.

In this way, the courtyard dam in the front yard became lower, so the whole yard was moved a few feet to the side of the small bamboo forest, and the small bamboo forest was reduced by half. The home makes a yard.

Because Zeng Xingzhi was going to visit the doctor, so Yao Yan took the lead in building the house. He put the child in Yao's house, and then drew a sketch of the house. For the house in the backyard, Yao Yan planned to have four houses below, and another floor above. The two rooms where medicinal herbs are stored in the front yard are also covered with two floors.

When building the house, Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi still paid wages. In order to finish it as soon as possible, they hired forty people this time.

It was completed in just two months.

And on the day of moving into the new house, Zeng Nianzhi came back by himself and brought two pieces of news. First, his wife had a happy event, and Zeng Nianzhi became a father!

"Good thing, this is a very good thing!"

Mother Yao and the others were overjoyed.

Zeng Nianzhi was also happy, and smiled foolishly, "The second thing is that the family was separated over there. We all came out on our own and never went back every year. We were disobedient and unfilial, so we didn't want to give us money. But the old uncle said that this is too unfair, and now we, brothers and sisters, will share 100 taels of silver."

The Zeng family has a big business, and the 100 taels is not enough for the Zeng family to eat and drink for a month.

It can be seen that it is to stop the uncle's mouth.

"Liumei sent someone to bring me and your family money," said Zeng Nianzhi, took out 100 taels of silver and handed it to Yao Yan.

Yao Yan looked at Zeng Xingzhi, who nodded.

"Your Uncle Zhang caught you two big fat chickens, you take them back to nourish your wife, and this jar of sauerkraut, you bring them back to appetize her..."

After Zeng Nianzhi finished his business, he was surrounded by Yao's mother and Yao's grandma.

"What are you going to do with this money?"

Yao Yan lay on Zeng Xingzhi's chest and asked.

Zeng Xingzhi caressed his long hair, his eyes dimmed, "The ancestral hall is very old, and the snow made the ancestral hall even more dilapidated. Let's give the 100 taels to the village chief to rebuild the ancestral hall."

Lizi Village has become his and Yao Yan's hometown.

Rebuilding the ancestral hall is nothing.

Yao Yan has no objection.

The village chief accepted the 100 taels of silver bill almost with trembling hands, and then held a village meeting, and the whole village was elated.

100 taels was really too much. After discussing with several elders in the village, the village chief rebuilt the ancestral hall and built two school houses with the remaining money. With Dr. Zeng around, their village will only get better and better.

And with Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi's undisguised intimacy in front of outsiders, the villagers gradually understand that they are not as simple as sworn brothers.

But this time, no one said a word to them, and even secretly blessed them in front of Zeng Xingzhi and Yao Yan.

Mother Yao burst into tears when she found out, she was always worried and scared, and now she finally felt relieved.

As for Uncle Zhang's house, Yao Yan and Zeng Xingzhi also spent money to rebuild it. Even though Uncle Zhang said it was unnecessary, when the new house was located, he couldn't help but shed tears of joy.

"what's for dinner?"

When Zeng Xingzhi sent the patient back, Yao Yan stood at the door of the main room, looked at him with a smile and asked.

Zeng Xingshang went up to hold his hand, and replied softly, "What do the children want to eat?"

"They want to eat too much." Yao Yan cursed with a smile.

"Then eat what you want," Zeng Xing said with a serious face, "Don't spoil them."

Only you, also used to you.

……

"Whether to perform the task"

The mechanical sound of the system woke Yao Yan up. Seeing that he was still holding the opponent's hand just now, he slowly put it away, closed his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Ding! The mission is open! Please read the contents of the mission world..."

"Ding ding! The teleportation is over, the main task: turn from evil to righteousness, treat your family well, and become a sworn brother with Han Xiucai, who is in the same village and classmate, reward points: 200."

"... Please trouble Wu Xiucai."

A simple and familiar voice came from beside him.

Yao Yan only felt a severe headache and a sense of dizziness, which caused him to sway and almost fell, but the people around him had quick eyesight and hands to support him.

"Brother Yan, hold on, Dad will take you to see a doctor right away!"

Yao Yan tried his best to open his eyes, but the scorching sun made him quickly raise his hands to cover them, following Yao's father's words, "Father, let's go."

"Hey," Yao's father hurriedly helped him into the bullock cart and rushed to the pharmacy.

And the young man who watched them leave had a sneer on his face, "Such a person with low morals can be selected as a scholar, he is really blind!"

After speaking, he walked away.

And Yao Yan also took this opportunity to read the content of the world. The original owner was born in a farm family. He is the second eldest child at home. There is an elder brother above and two younger sisters below. The elder brother is married and has a niece with his sister-in-law.

The next two younger sisters are not yet married, Yao Sanmei is fifteen years old this year, and Yao Simei is only ten years old this year.

There were three brothers in Father Yao's generation, and Father Yao's family lived the best life. Father Yao was able to endure hardships when he was young, and Mother Yao was also hardworking. Years later, a new house was built and moved out.

At home, Yao's mother was alone, took care of the children, and went to work in the field. Yao's father worked hard in the town until the original owner was enlightened at the age of seven. Yao's father bought an ox cart and began to run an ox cart at the gate of the county. Cattle are rented out, which is also an income.

It was precisely because of this that the Yao family was able to offer the original owner to the scholar.

The original owner is also smart, he passed the Tongsheng examination, and at the age of 21, he passed the scholar examination, that is, this year.

Although the original owner is smart, he is very jealous. Those who are jealous are his classmates who are smarter than himself. Regardless of whether he is close or not, he is jealous. Diarrhea, unable to take the academy test.

And there is another person from the same village, who is from a poor family but very smart Han Xiucai. He was enlightened two years later than the original owner, but passed the scholar examination two years earlier than the original owner. Not only the master, but other students admire him very much.

The two came from the same village, and the original owner was extremely conceited. Naturally, he was unwilling to be suppressed by Han Xiucai. He spread words among his students about Han Xiucai's widowed father's life, but was directly exposed by Han Xiucai, and he himself Was reprimanded by the master for being out of character, and suffered a serious illness, just when the master decided to drive him out of the academy.

It was Yao's father who knelt in front of his master and begged to give the original owner a chance. Who knew that the original owner not only didn't cherish it, but attributed all this to Han Xiucai, and even bought a drug to poison Han Xiucai!

Fortunately, Han Xiucai didn't drink the pot of water in the house, the poison plan failed, and the original owner was planning to time the poison again.

Han Xiucai, who was discovered again, warned that the original owner climbed up to a rich son of the academy, and wanted to use the son's influence to drive Han Xiucai out of the academy.

But the rich young man saw the careful thought of the original owner at a glance, deliberately said that he fell in love with Yao Sanmei, and would help him as long as the original owner sent Yao Sanmei to his bed.

This is because he wants to eat Yao Sanmei, but he doesn't want to be responsible.

But the original owner was deceived by the lard and coaxed Yao Sanmei to eat the drugged pastry. In this way, Yao Sanmei was ruined by the rich man, and when she woke up, she ran into her face and died in front of the son.

The rich man was frightened, but this person was sent by the original owner, and the Yao family came to make trouble, so he directly explained the original owner's request and the fact that the other party drugged Yao Sanmei.

Yao's father and others did not expect the original owner to do such a despicable thing. Yao's mother was seriously ill, Yao's father also turned gray overnight, and the original owner was directly expelled from the academy.

His reputation was ruined, and after hearing a lot of gossip, he was afraid Father Yao and the others would really send him to prison, so he wanted to act preemptively, so he sneaked home in the middle of the night and burned Yao's family to death...

However, the original owner was rewarded with evil, and was caught by Han Xiucai and sent to the prison. When he was sentenced to death, Han Xiucai happened to be elected, and the original owner was still cursing, not thinking that he was wrong at all.

The time when Yao Yan came here was exactly when the original owner spread the word about Han Xiucai's father's disorderly life in the academy, but was exposed by Han Xiucai and fell ill due to embarrassment.

And when he took the medicine and went back to rest for a few days, and went to the academy again, the master wanted to drive him out of the academy.

From Yao Yan's point of view, the original owner simply played his own good cards to pieces. Everyone in the Yao family is kind.

On the contrary, the original owner felt that his family was wrong here and there, and even felt that he was born in a bad way. He blamed Yao's father for not being able to do anything else.

"Brother Yan, be careful." Just as Yao Yan was meditating, the bullock cart had stopped in front of the pharmacy. Father Yao got out of the cart and came to Yao Yan's side. After wiping his hands, he stretched out to him. Ready to help Yao Yan get off the car.

This is not his old father, but he looks like Father Yao's old father!

Wanting Yao Yan's various dislikes towards his family, Yao Yan cursed secretly for a while, then held back his character and reached out to Yao's father.

"I'm short of breath, and I've caught the wind and cold again, so I'll be fine after going back to rest for a few days," the old doctor withdrew his hand and motioned Father Yao to grab the medicine.

Yao Yan sat on the side, watching Father Yao busy up and down.

When the two rushed to the village, Yao's father didn't dare to talk to Yao Yan, for fear of offending Yao Yan.

The place where Yao's family is located is called Hongyan Village. The original name comes from the place not far from the entrance of the village. There is a piece of red rock on the hillside. It is only an hour and a half away from the county town, and it takes only an hour to get there by ox cart.

"father."

Yao Yan spoke suddenly, and Yao's father stopped the ox cart immediately, "What's wrong with you?"

"No," Yao Yan raised his head, looked at Father Yao's face full of wind and frost, and said softly, "I don't want to take the entrance exam."

He thinks he is not a candidate for the imperial examination, and if he relies on the system, it will not be fair to other candidates.

Father Yao was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said in a soft voice, "Brother Yan is now a scholar at such a young age, he is already a glorious family member, if you don't want to go to the entrance exam, then don't take the exam."

In fact, the Yao family had a hard time in the early years to study for the original owner, and Yao Sanmei was 15 years old, the age at which marriage should be discussed. After the original owner became a scholar, many people came to ask for marriage, but the Yao family I still want to stay with Yao Sanmei for two years.

For Father Yao, sending the original owner to enlightenment never thought that the other party would be a scholar. The original intention was to let the original owner know a few words, and it would be great to be an accountant in the county town in the future. How did he know that the original owner was a student? It is expected that he will be selected as a scholar.

This has already surprised the Yao family.

"Aren't you angry?"

Yao Yan was actually very disturbed.

After all, it is of great benefit to the Yao family and the tribe to continue to take the exam.

"Why am I angry?" Father Yao feels that Yao Yan is very talkative today, and the arrogance and disdain of the past are gone, he is not only worried, "Brother Yan, I am a rough person, but I also know that studying is worse than me. It's even more difficult to work, look at your elder brother, who went to school for less than a month, and then cried and yelled not to go."

"I'd rather go to work in the fields than go to school. It can be seen that studying is not easy. Now that you have become a scholar at a young age, you have already made our Yao family stand upright in the village. This is enough."

Yao Yan lowered his head, very frustrated, "But I can't compare to Han Xiucai."

Father Yao was taken aback, then remembered Yao Yan's dislike for Han Xiucai in the past, and wanted to say a few words, but also thought that Yao Yan was still ill, so he could only stop the topic, "Let's go home early and let your mother I will cook a chicken for you."

When the bullock cart had gone a certain distance, Father Yao's voice came from the front again, "In the hearts of parents, you are the most powerful child in the family."

Yao Yan's eyes turned red, and he responded in a low voice, then put his hand on his heart, thinking that when the original owner set the fire, he just felt that the other party had no heart.

Because of physical discomfort, Yao Yan fell asleep when the bullock cart was shaking, and when he woke up again, he was already lying in the original owner's room, and there was still a low voice from the other side of the main room.

"Brother Yan doesn't look very well, something must have happened."

This is Yao's father's voice. He was out running a bullock cart and met all kinds of people, so he naturally learned to read people's words and expressions. Even if he was dull, he was not stupid. He naturally saw that Yao Yan was wrong today.

Even Wu Xiucai, who sent Yao Yan to the gate of the academy, had a different expression.

"This child must be studying hard," a soft female voice came to Yao Yan's ears. It was Yao's mother. "Sanmei, go and see if the chicken in the pot is ready?"

"Hey," the girl's crisp voice made Yao Yan cover his face.

Because the original body is a scholar, the parents, brothers, sisters-in-law and younger sisters in the family are all in awe of the original body, especially the two younger sisters, who respect the original owner very much, but they don't want the original owner to kill Yao Sanmei.

He got up and sat for a while, poked the system to exchange for the liquid medicine, spent twenty points, and got 10ml.

"You're too picky."

After Yao Yan raised his head and finished drinking, he threw the bottle to the system for recycling.

The system sneered, "That's why you exchanged it on credit. Besides, didn't you catch the medicine? So quickly so that you don't attract attention? I'm doing it for your own good."

Yao Yan: ... Bah.

Xu Shi heard the movement, and a man's inquiry came from outside the door, "Brother Yan is awake?"

The voice was a little cautious, and the original owner got up very angry.

This is Brother Yao's voice.

"Get up," Yao Yan replied, just as he opened the door, he saw a tall and strong young man standing outside the door, seeing him open the door, he quickly reached out to help him.

"His mother brought the medicine, brother woke up!"

This is Mrs. Yao.
