Tong Yiya only now realized that she was slowly becoming dependent on Fu Shinian, but she didn't mind it and just followed her heart.

"Then sit down. I'll go get some water and be back soon," Fu Shinian said as he helped the man sit up straight.

After making sure that she was seated properly, he stood up and fetched Tong Yiya's wash basin, filled it with hot water, washed her face first, and then changed the basin to wash her feet.

Tong Yiya also waited on him. After she helped him wash up, she escorted him out of the courtyard. At the door, Fu Shinian turned around, lowered his head, kissed her forehead and said, "Xiaoya, Happy New Year."

"Well, Happy New Year, go back and have a rest, see you tomorrow," said Tong Yiya

"Okay, just close the door and I'll go back," Fu Shinian said as he walked to the door and motioned Tong Yiya to close the door.

After closing the door, he pushed it from the outside to test whether it was closed, just like before. After confirming that it was closed, he said to Tong Yiya in the yard: "You should go into the house and have a rest. I'm going back. See you tomorrow."

Tong Yiya responded and turned to walk towards the house. After Fu Shinian heard the footsteps behind the door go away, he walked towards their courtyard gate.

Several people slept soundly tonight and woke up naturally the next day.

When Tong Yiya got up, it was already past ten o'clock. She went out of the house and saw that it had not snowed last night, so she went to open the gate first.

Fu Shinian and the other man next door seemed to have been paying attention to her. They came over soon after hearing the noise in her yard.

When Fu Shinian saw Tong Yiya was about to wash up, he hurried to help pour water. When Dong Weibing saw this, he felt embarrassed and went into the kitchen to light the stove and heat up the dishes and steamed buns.

He lit the small clay stove again, and the kitchen became much warmer. Fu Shinian was very happy at this moment, thinking of the closer relationship they had yesterday. Whenever he faced Tong Yiya, the smile on his face could not be stopped.

After Tong Yiya finished washing up, the two of them went into the kitchen together. They saw that Guard Dong had already steamed the food, and since it looked like everything was fine, the three of them sat by the stove.

Tong Yiya thought that the children in the village would come over to pay New Year's greetings, so she asked the two, "Are you going to entertain the children who come to pay New Year's greetings?"

"Entertain? How?" Guard Dong asked

"Didn't you entertain them last year?" Tong Yiya asked

"No, we just came here last year and don't know many people, so we don't know these things," said Fu Shinian.

"So that's how it is. This is the custom in the village here. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the children will visit each family in the village to pay New Year's greetings. Families will prepare melon seeds, candies, and some wild fruits from the mountains early in the morning, waiting for the children to come and pay New Year's greetings, and then use these things to entertain them," Tong Yiya explained.

"Is that so? Then should we set it up?" Guard Dong asked Fu Shinian

"No need, we'll be with Xiaoya all day, so we can just place it here," Fu Shinian said.

"Okay, after dinner, I'll put out the things I prepared. If you get bored staying at home, you can go visit friends in the village and come back at dinner time," Tong Yiya said.

"Really? Then I have to go around and see if anyone wants to hang out together," said Guard Dong.

"I won't go. I'll stay at home with Xiaoya," Fu Shinian said.

"It's all right. I'm also processing some medicinal herbs at home. You can stay at home and help me."

After the three of them had breakfast, Guard Dong swam out. Before he went out, Tong Yiya stuffed some melon seeds and dried fruits into his mouth.

After everyone left, Tong Yiya started to set the table, make tea, and waited for the children to come and pay New Year's greetings and for the aunties from the village to come and chat.

Soon a group of children came. Once they entered her yard, they behaved well. They happily wished her a happy new year. After receiving candies and other food, they hurried to the next house.

It was not until the afternoon that Tong Yiya went to the pharmacy with Fu Shinian to process the medicinal materials. After a while, two aunts came. Seeing Fu Shinian was there, they joked, "Oh, Fu Zhiqing is here too. It seems that we came at the wrong time and disturbed the couple's private time."

"I don't like what you said, auntie," Tong Yiya replied with a smile.

"Auntie, you guys chat, I'll go pour you some tea," Fu Shinian said, and quickly left the pharmacy.

"Fu Zhiqing is not as thick-skinned as you. You made him run away after teasing him. Tong Zhiqing will blame you," said another aunt with a smile.

Tong Yiya knew that the two of them were just joking, so she didn't get angry. She smiled and replied, "I wouldn't do that. Auntie, please don't slander me. Come sit by the fire. It's rare for you to have time to come and play with me. Please sit a little longer this time and tell me something interesting."

"Look at Tong Zhiqing. If you don't know her, you would think she is from our village. Why does she like to listen to those gossips so much?" the two aunts said as they walked to the chair next to the charcoal basin and sat down.

"Auntie, what you said is so interesting. I think no one would dislike listening to it." Tong Yiya also stopped the work in her hands, sat on a stool beside and chatted with the two of them.

After a while, Fu Shinian came in with a small plate of dried fruits and two cups of water, and gave them to the two aunts. He then picked up Tong Yiya's cup and added some hot water to her cup.

After he finished, he helped Tong Yiya grind the medicine. He didn't say anything, and the three of them were just chatting about village gossip and didn't pay any attention to him.

After the aunts left, Fu Shinian stopped what he was doing, took the cups used by the aunts back to the kitchen, and cleaned up the various shells on the ground.

Tong Yiya didn't have to do anything and was very happy. After Fu Shinian finished his work, she called him over and gave him a gift.

This made Fu Shinian very happy, and he worked more actively afterwards.

Suddenly remembering that she hadn't given him the sweater she knitted, Tong Yiya stood up from her seat and said to Fu Shinian, "Wait here for a moment. I'll go get something."

After saying that, she left the pharmacy and went to her room to take out the sweater she had knitted for Fu Shinian, and a black scarf.

On one end of the scarf, she also crocheted a little Husky with wool and sewed it on, which looked very cute.

She took it back to the pharmacy, handed it to Fu Shinian and said, "Here, this is a New Year's gift for you. I knitted it a few days ago, and I almost forgot to give it to you."

"Thank you, Xiaoya, I like it very much. I want to wear it now," Fu Shinian said happily after taking it.

"I don't need to thank you. If you like it, I will weave it for you when I have free time in the future," said Tong Yiya

"Well, I'll take it back and put it away first. I also have something to give you," Fu Shinian said.

Tong Yiya didn't expect that he had something to give her, so she nodded and asked him to send the thing back first.

She weighed and packaged the medicine that Fu Shinian had just ground. After a while, Fu Shinian came back with a small bag in his hand. He entered the room and took out a small box from it.

Tong Yiya guessed what he gave her at first glance. After he opened it, she saw that there was indeed a ladies' watch inside. It looked very nice and she liked it very much too.
