Today is New Year's Eve. Chu Qing decided to have a bonfire party. She has traveled here for more than eight months, and she can't go back no matter how unwilling she is.

Life must be lived. If you can live happily, don’t embarrass yourself. It’s too lonely to depend on Xiaobao. Chu Qing announced that more than 200 people will live together this year!

I gave New Year's gifts to each prefecture before, and each prefecture also returned the gift. The return gifts have one thing in common: they all have beef! These are real people! Chu Qing can't get beef. The veteran cadre Huang Zhong has long ago

Back to Beijing. Before I left, I asked Song Tingshan to give Chu Qing a New Year gift for him. No need for anything else, just beef!

In addition to beef, mutton and pheasant, there are also fish and fruits, and various snacks are also given away. They are all affordable gifts. Of course you have to eat so much meat! Chu Qing also bought five packed heads from the village butcher.

Zhu, let Chu Yuan bring back two jars of wine from the city. There are many of us, so we won’t buy the small jar.

In the afternoon, Chu Qing led more than 200 people to make dumplings collectively. This group of young men, even Lao Yu and Lao Zhao, were considered young men in Chu Qing's eyes. They were about the same age as Chu Qing. They were single now, so weren't they just young men?

!These young men do a good job at housework.

This is true, no matter in modern times or ancient times, soldiers are all-powerful. More than two hundred soldiers made dumplings together, what a scene! Dumplings were spread out curtain by curtain on the floor. It was cold and quick-frozen!

It was getting dark by now, so Chu Qing asked them to build a circle of sheds in the yard. We had bricks, and we surrounded them with bricks, and used an oilcloth as a roof, leaving a slit to let out smoke.

Then a bonfire was lit in the center of the shed, with a small fire around it. All kinds of cut meats were brought over, including fish, all cut into thick slices, as well as vegetables, garlic, steamed buns, pancakes, bean cakes... and more

There are fruits and snacks. There are also a lot of iron picks on the shelf. We can buy ore now.

"I said, when I get rich, I'll treat you to kebabs!" Chu Qing said to everyone: "Eat! That's enough!" More than 200 people cheered, causing the dogs in the distant village to join in the fun.

Some of the twenty servants and long-term workers wiped away tears, remembering the days when Chu Qing and Xiaobao accompanied them to eat grilled vegetables.

"Old Zhao, let some of them make skewers, and the rest will follow my instructions..." Chu Qing ordered. Xiaobao sat between Lao Yu and Lao Zhao, holding snacks.

"Let's play a game, Xiaobao, stand here with a sign in your hand. When Mom says start, you just close your eyes and spin in circles. When Mom says stop, you stop. Whoever the sign points to will perform a show!" Chu

Qing brought over the military training routine.

"Boss, what is a program?" someone shouted.

"It's just like on a stage. You can perform something, such as singing a song, or doing some boxing. It doesn't matter, but if everyone doesn't laugh, it doesn't count!" Chu Qing didn't know how to explain the "program". Leng Buding was asked,

It won't happen anymore.

When it started, Xiaobao muttered: "I'm confused, I'm confused, I'm stuck, I won't eat!" When Chu Qing shouted to stop, the sign pointed at Chu Yuan.

Xiaobao must have done it on purpose. Chu Qing saw Xiaobao squinting his eyes while turning around to find his position. Chu Yuan scratched the back of his head and stood up: "What, I don't know anything, how about I tell you a story?

?”

"OK!"

"Anything goes!" The following people agreed.

"Well, let me tell you a story! Once upon a time, there was a mountain. There was a temple on the mountain. There was an old Taoist in the temple. Tell me a story. What is it about? Once upon a time, there was a mountain..."

"Tch! No, no! It doesn't count!" Everyone laughed. Xiaobao then asked: "Why are the people in the temple so old?"

"Because Chu Yuan is that monk!" Lao Zhao answered.

Huh! Everyone laughed.

These two hundred people are really versatile, and Chu Qing found that everyone has a unique skill. For example, Zhuo Yao, he can throw five bricks in rotation at the same time, just like the wooden stick thrown in the circus performance.

The worst were the ten long-term workers. They didn't have any special skills, but some of them could use a kitchen knife to carve out landscape paintings from turnips.

Old Zhao also showed his skill: darts! Old Zhao was not willing to use his own darts, but he was willing to give up bricks. He asked people to place a circle of bricks and break the iron stick into two pieces to use as darts. He threw them out and matched the painted bull's-eye.

It's a little off, but it's a big brick!

This is quite difficult. It's half an iron stick, and its center of gravity is not as pointed as the tip. It can still achieve such good results. But if Lao Zhao uses darts, he will have to point and hit them wherever he wants.

Chu Qing's eyes lit up and he needed to learn this! Xiaobao's eyes also lit up and he immediately got attached to Lao Zhao.

A batch of meat skewers was prepared and roasted on a small fire. On the shelf above the bonfire, a whole lamb was also roasted. Zhang Mingyu got a lot of cumin from Dong Lun, and Chu Qing ground it into powder.

Up.

Xiaobao handed a bunch of beef skewers to Lao Yu's mouth, and Lao Yu was brushing honey on the roasted lamb. Mrs. Hong sent someone to deliver this precious thing, just a jar, and Chu Qing didn't feel bad at all.

What Chu Yuan brought to Bai Jiaxing was grilled pork skewers. Chu Qing didn't let Bai Jiaxing go to the ground, so everyone carried Bai Jiaxing out on a stretcher. During the Chinese New Year, no one should be missing.

A lot of food has been placed here in Baijiaxing. The long-term workers are very grateful to Baijiaxing. If it weren't for him, they might not be able to come back. So now, even the chicken soup is brought here by special people. The long-term workers

Grill skewers on a small fire, stew chicken in earthenware pots, stew pork butchers in iron pots, and bring them out bowl after bowl, then reheat them in the pot after they have cooled.

Chu Yuan held a bowl of wine and clinked it with Baijiaxing's chicken soup bowl: "Brother, good luck!" Baijiaxing looked at his bowl and licked his lips: "Just give me a sip and have a taste!"

"Don't even think about it, I'm so greedy for you! Go drink your chicken soup!"

"Just one bite!"

"Zi... oh, this wine is so good!" Chu Yuan smacked his lips.

Baijiaxing took a sip of chicken soup: "Hiss...it's the best soup in the world! Take one sip to prolong your life, how about it? Let's take another sip?"

The two of them had a mouthful of wine, a mouthful of meat, a mouthful of soup and a mouthful of baked bean cakes. They had a great time eating. As they ate, they began to think about the hardships and sweet things. Chu Yuan said: "If you hadn't taken the initiative to help me, I wouldn't have dared to go out to work. Without you,

If I take it with me, I will have to hide here and there without food."

Thinking of the past, Bai Jiaxing also said: "You said you were so wary at that time that your forehead was so burned that you could fry an egg. You wouldn't let me get close to you and put a cold handkerchief on you. You even used a chopstick to stab me."

"At that time, I was afraid that someone would recognize me. There were arrest warrants and portraits everywhere."

"What are you afraid of! That's not like you!"

"Why don't they look like it? Those eyes are painted just like mine!"

"Who said that? Whose eyes don't look like that? They all have the same shape! You see, don't you think? Later, I took you to find work every day. Who recognized you?"

"That's true. Without you, we wouldn't be able to survive."

"My life was saved by people from a whole village, but when something happened to them, I didn't help any of them..." Bai Jiaxing's eyes filled with tears.

"I just thought, I have to remember this kindness for the rest of my life, and I want to share this kindness with those in need. My life belongs to the people in this village, and I have to live for them! If they are still here, I will

If you can help those who are suffering, then I will help them!"

"When you signed the death contract with the boss, I was hesitant. It wasn't because I couldn't trust the boss, but because I thought that my life belongs to the whole village and I couldn't just sell it. However, this avalanche, the boss tried his best to save me.

Tell me, what does she want? What can she want from us? What do we have for others to want?"

"I gave up at that time, but the boss refused to give up, so I thought, I can't let her die in there, I have to get her out at my last breath!"

"Brother, you know, the boss won't let me! She just held on like that. She said what I said was fart, and she had to wait for rescue. She said..." Bai Jiaxing's tears fell, and his voice became more choked up:

"She said that my surname represents the kindness of human beings. She said that there is no such surname in the world, and she wanted me to pass it on from generation to generation!"

Chu Yuan also shed tears when he heard this, and both of them were silent.

"So, I thought about signing a death contract with the boss. But I can't do that now. Now I can only lie down and can't do anything. When I get better, I will go to the boss and sign a death contract! The last name is mine, but
Chapter completed!
