Chapter 351 New Year
Lu Yaoyao touched Tingge's head and felt that this little guy would have a bright future.
Only then did she take the time to teach him how to read and write, and also taught him some self-protection techniques.
This child is grateful and she knows that good things are sent to her first.
Lu Yaoyao felt very relieved.
"Okay! Then I'll take it! The mountain is now closed due to heavy snow. It's very dangerous for you to go to the back mountain alone. Wait until spring and don't go in winter."
"Come on, take the delicious food I made back home and eat it with your parents."
Lu Yaoyao pulled him into the house and took out some tea eggs for him to eat.
Brother Ting couldn’t stop eating after eating one. This tea egg is so delicious.
Before leaving, I took a few home for my parents to eat.
The New Year is coming to an end in the blink of an eye. This year, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow. I heard that many people in many places starved to death or froze to death. There was nothing special about this year. It was very quiet.
Nowadays, food and clothing are a problem for everyone, so who has the heart to celebrate the New Year?
Those who had some food at home would secretly hide it for their own family to eat, and they didn't dare to make a big fuss during the New Year, so everything became quiet.
Lu Yaoyao celebrated the New Year alone. She cut some paper-cuts and pasted them on the windows to make it look festive.
She hung small red lanterns on the peach tree in the yard, making it look even more festive against the white snow.
After Lu Yaoyao finished doing all this, she went to post the couplets.
In this world, those who can afford to hang up couplets are either rich or noble, and these couplets are written with paper and ink.
How can ordinary people have the spare money to buy these things that can’t fill their stomachs?
So she posted a red couplet on the door, which was unique in Wangjia Village and was particularly eye-catching from a distance.
After doing all this, she felt a little hungry.
Lu Yaoyao is a foodie. Even if no one cooks for her, she will make delicious food to reward herself.
"It looks good!" Lu Yaoyao cooked more than a dozen dishes and placed them on the table. The New Year's Eve dinner would be more sumptuous.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, snowflakes started falling outside again.
Looking through the light, the snowflakes were all covered with a layer of gold.
Lu Yaoyao looked at the snow outside and said, "Next year will definitely be a year of good harvest."
He yawned and went to rest.
Just after the Chinese New Year, her small courtyard became lively.
Qiuliang and Qiuye came with those people from Purgatory.
When they arrived there it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.
Lu Yaoyao didn't waste any time and took out the prepared prosthetic limbs and put them on them.
There were only a dozen or so people who came, and the prosthetic limbs were installed very quickly, and they were all installed in just over ten days.
The last one who was in the most serious condition had both legs broken, but he has now stood up completely.
"Can I really stand up? It's no different from my own legs!" Xia Ku stood up and tried to move.
He was the most seriously injured among these people, with both legs and one hand missing.
Xia Ku was ambushed while on a mission and was captured while trying to protect his companions.
He was thrown into prison and tortured for a long time. One of his hands was chopped off and his legs were smashed.
When Su Zui went to rescue them, Xia Ku had been tortured to the point of being on the verge of death, but fortunately his life was saved.
He has been in purgatory for these years, living with only one hand, and has wanted to die many times but failed.
He originally thought that he would live a miserable life if he studied on his own.
Unexpectedly, he still has the chance to stand up now, and his right hand is healed.
"You have a lot of prosthetic limbs, so you need some time to adapt. You need to stay with me for a few more days for treatment. The rest of you can go back to Su Zui."
Su Zui needs manpower when he returns to Kyoto this time, and these people are all his helpers.
Su Zui wanted them to stay here to protect her. It was she who didn't need these people's protection, Su Zui needed it more.
Qiu Liang and the others had long wanted to go back and help their master, and were eager to try. "Madam, this is what the master asked us to bring you. We will be leaving first."
Before leaving, the master told them to follow the lady's arrangements in everything.
Now that the lady asked them to go back, they went back.
Things in Kyoto should be very tricky, and they need to go back to help their master.
Lu Yaoyao took the bag and said, "Then go ahead! Take these things with you."
She also prepared some life-saving items for Su Zui, which were just right for them to take with them.
Qiu Liang clasped his fists and said, "Yes!"
After they left, only Lu Yaoyao and Xia Ku were left.
Xia Ku knelt on one knee and said, "Madam, from now on Xia Ku will follow you. The life of my subordinate belongs to you."
Before he came, he had decided that if the lady cured him, he would be her slave from then on.
Lu Yaoyao helped him up, "Then you will follow me from now on!"
"Yes, madam." Xia Ku stood up.
Lu Yaoyao opened the bundle and took a look. It was full of gold bills.
"That's pretty good." Lu Yaoyao put away the gold note happily.
Su Zui said he would give her gold, and he really did keep his promise. The gold was exchanged for gold ingots, and the land in her space was about to expand again.
There was no firewood at home, so Xia Ku took a rope and a machete and went to the back mountain.
His hands and feet are already very flexible.
He has the most prosthetic limbs installed, and at first he felt a little uncomfortable and sometimes felt pain.
Lu Yaoyao gave him a lot of pills, and after a month he became like a normal person.
Xia Ku carried some firewood from the mountain to the door and saw a carriage parked there.
"Master, I'm back." Xia Ku put down the firewood and went to the upper room.
When a stranger comes to the house, he has to protect his wife to prevent anyone from hurting her.
"Yeah." Lu Yaoyao nodded.
Xia Ku stood behind Lu Yaoyao, staring at the man with unfriendly eyes.
This is the master's wife, their master. He must keep an eye on her and not let any bad people pay attention to her.
County Magistrate Zhuang Sheng put down his teacup. "I just returned to the county office a few days ago. After I came back, I heard the lawyer tell me about the young lady. I came here today to thank you. If it weren't for the food you donated, the people in the Mercy Hall would have starved to death or frozen to death by the time I returned. Please accept my greetings, young lady!"
Zhuang Sheng lifted up his outer robe and was about to kneel down.
He is the chief official of Tongxiang County, so this respect is only natural to him.
It was her food that saved many people.
Lu Yaoyao quickly supported the man and said, "You are too polite, County Magistrate. I just happened to do these things by accident. You don't have to be so kind."
Zhuang Sheng stood up without any of the county magistrate's airs. "Miss Lu is kindhearted and righteous, and I admire her. Food is life-saving for everyone these days. Your willingness to provide food to help them is better than countless others."
This time when he went out to collect grain, he only brought back less than a thousand kilograms of grain. Those wealthy businessmen were too arrogant and unwilling to donate grain. He had suffered losses in this way before.
A girl can be kind-hearted, but those rich businessmen can only watch those people starve to death.
The world is so fickle!
Lu Yaoyao smiled and said, "I have already received the commendation from the county magistrate, haven't I? Your Excellency, there is no need to be so polite to me."
Seeing the county magistrate's expression was not right, Lu Yaoyao knew what was going on. "Sir County Magistrate, are there refugees coming to town?"
Several nearby villages were affected by the disaster, and many people fled to the Salesian Church.
Because there is food there.
