In the village, people who died from heavy rain were buried, the sick were cured, and the broken houses were repaired. In the blink of an eye, the villagers of Shanshui Village were busy for a while, and everyone found that it was almost the New Year.

Although every family is eating less and saving food this year because of the drought, they still need to prepare some things for the New Year. After all, the villagers regard the Chinese New Year as very important. As long as you have silver, you can't usually eat meat, and you must buy it for the New Year, even if it's a little less. Even if you don't have silver for the New Year, you have to borrow silver for the New Year.

The Zhou family naturally won't have such troubles, the Zhou family has made a lot of money in recent years, where will there be a shortage of that bit of silver for the New Year. Especially Situ Chen's 1,000 taels of silver, Zhou Ziya also handed it over to the Zhou family. So this year's New Year, Zhou's gave a lot generously to prepare New Year's goods.

Early in the morning, Zhou Ziya followed her three brothers and parents to the market in a carriage, and one carriage was crammed with so many people, it was crowded to death.

"Big brother, look at it, it's because you're too fat, and the carriage is too crowded, and it's uncomfortable to die."

Zhou Ziya was held in Xiao Zhou's arms, and she began to dislike her eldest brother.

Zhou Zihu suddenly felt that he had been wronged to death, and said with a aggrieved face, "Little sister, you are too partial, the second brother and the third brother are similar to me, where am I fat." Little sister, if you dislike it, I'll just go out and sit outside. ”

Zhou Ziya felt that she was a little too much, but she was embarrassed to admit her mistake, so she had to be cheeky and said, "Forget it, forget it." ”

The carriage was fast, but it didn't take long to reach the town. After the rain, the refugees had returned to their hometowns, and now the town had largely returned to its former calm, but it was only superficial. For example, those who ask for food are obviously more than before. There will even be more orphans in the town.

Because the things they bought were different, the three brothers of the Zhou family took Zhou Ziya to go shopping. Because they want to buy some pen, ink and paper, Zhou Yanliang and his wife want to buy some things for the New Year. Zhou Ziya also wanted to buy some ancient travelogues or scripts to go back, during the Chinese New Year, there was nothing to do when it snowed, so she just bought it back to pass the time. Anyway, now that she knows how to read, she doesn't have to pretend to be illiterate like she did when she first crossed over.

When he arrived at the study, Zhou Zihu wanted to let his sister not dislike him for the things on the carriage before, and immediately said generously: "Little sister, you will see what kind of script you like in a while, and when the time comes, my brother will use his private money to help you buy it." ”

It is a fool for someone to pay and not agree, Zhou Ziya immediately nodded obediently, "Thank you, big brother." ”

Zhou Zihu was immediately very happy, Zhou Zibao glanced at his eldest brother with contempt on the side, and laughed too stupidly, he really didn't want to admit that there was such a big brother, it was too embarrassing, too embarrassing.

was about to enter the study, but Zhou Ziya was hit by someone, and her arm hurt a lot, and she felt a little numb.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. ”

A little girl was so frightened that she lowered her head and kept saying sorry, and she looked like she wanted to shrink to the ground.

Zhou Ziya was originally quite angry, but when she saw this, she sighed, and could only blame herself for her bad luck, "Forget it, just pay attention in the future." ”

The little girl hurriedly said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss." Then he slipped away and ran away. I'm afraid that someone will chase after me.
