The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Japan and Russia fought at Heigoutai.

Japan's western flank was basically out of ammunition and food, but Russia once again missed a golden opportunity to defeat the sinking dog, failing to expand its results and allowing little Japan to escape disaster.

Immediately afterwards, preparations for the battle of Fengtian began.

This is the final and most critical battle.

Just as both sides were preparing for war, Lugang Town ushered in the New Year.

Miao Cuihua, Jiang Mingxin, Li Guangzong and Dayasu all had new clothes and shoes prepared by Zhao Chuanxin.

Jiang Mingxin dressed up and went out early, met with Defu and the others, and then came back to find Zhao Chuanxin to beg for food.

As if it had been agreed upon, the snot kids had good memories and arrived at Zhao Chuanxin's house on time.

The boxes piled up into a hill in Zhao Chuanxin's room were distributed one by one.

Defu opened the box and looked at it. In addition to candies, pastry preserves, and assorted biscuits, there were also melon seeds and peanuts.

So he muttered: Last year they were all good things, how can I make up for them with peanuts and melon seeds this year?

Don't be dissatisfied. Zhao Chuanxin finished dividing the last box: These days, even the landowners have lost their land. Who has any leftover food?

The landowner’s code of conduct is gone? Isn't that what I'm talking about, the Irgenjueluo family?

The original children felt it was worse than last year, but the new children who joined this year were full of joy.

I didn't expect such a good thing!

Defu rolled his eyes and said, I'll come back tonight to wish my uncle a happy New Year.

Since we eat less, the red envelopes won’t be less than last year, right?

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said: Too many people kowtow to me for fear of losing their life. They are probably the same people last year.

It’s a joke. There are too many children in Lugang Town now. Everyone comes to kowtow and give them lucky money, but he can’t afford it.

Jiang Mingxin showed his teeth and stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth: It's so delicious.

Eat less, don't let your teeth rot, and remember to brush your teeth every day.

Zhao Chuanxin gave instructions.

Liu Guogui got married, and Zhao Chuanxin had a cook, so he could find time to play.

Gao Li and Dayasu were living in one family in the east and the other in the west, so they could have some free time.

A group of people went to Shuangxi's teahouse to play cards.

Playing until the afternoon, Zhao Chuanxin kept losing. He lost ten silver dollars. He immediately pushed the cards and said, Hey, hey, I'm not going to play anymore. I'm going back to take pictures.

As soon as I heard that we were going to take pictures, everyone became interested.

Zhao Chuanxin has taken several photos before, including photos of the Russo-Japanese war in Liaodi, photos of ordinary people being driven to work by the Japanese and Russians, photos of houses destroyed by artillery shells, and photos of himself after killing the Japanese and Russians. Photos, there are also many photos of Lugang Town.

He had people develop the photos and kept them very well.

How can you not take photos during the Chinese New Year?

In front of Zhao Chuanxin's house, a group of people stood and asked for someone to click the shutter. As soon as the flash came on, the photo was taken.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed away the people from the insurance team and said, Give it a go, one of our own people will take another one.

After he finished filming with Miao Cuihua, Jiang Mingxin, Li Guangzong and Dayasu.

Zhao Zhongyi expressed that he also wanted to take a family photo, and then everyone wanted to take a family photo...

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin estimated that there was not much film left, so he said: Let's stop here. There is no film left. For the last few pictures, whoever climbs to the highest roof will give one to Lugang Town as a souvenir. After the renovation next year, Let’s make another comparison.”

Shuangxi volunteered: I'm coming!

Finally, I chose the police station. The terrain there is high, the ceiling of the house is the highest, and the roof is made of tiles.

Tonight, eight lanterns were lit at Zhao Chuanxin's house, and the small room was brightly lit.

There are so many people this year, so Zhao Chuanxin will not go to Zhao Zhongyi’s house.

He, Gao Li, Dayasu, Li Guangzong, Miao Cuihua, and Jiang Mingxin got together to celebrate the New Year.

The money wrapped in the dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage during the Chinese New Year this year was silver dollars. Zhao Chuanxin washed the money several times before wrapping it in.

The little girl started to have a toothache. The tooth was so loose that she screamed in pain.

Gao Li smiled and said, Little girl, I will make a fortune next year.

Looking at the blackened silver coins and considering the rumors that ancient people used silver needles to detect poisons, Zhao Chuanxin felt that pickled cabbage might also be poisonous, so he should eat less of it in the future.

Jiang Mingxin remembered Defu's instructions, finished the dumplings as quickly as possible, and then ran back home.

When Defu came with a big team, she smiled and curved her eyebrows and immediately blended into the group.

As soon as he opened the door, Defu knelt down and said, Uncle, I wish you a happy new year!

Zhao Chuanxin happily supported him: Okay, okay, there are red envelopes.

After receiving the red envelope, Defu touched it. Well, there must be silver coins in it. It felt like this.

After all the New Year's greetings, the snot kids went out, carrying last year's lanterns as usual, gathering lights and opening red envelopes.

Hey, this year one silver dollar and twenty copper coins!

My uncle said, there's some inflation, we'll have an extra ten cents this year.

Defu said: It's inflation, prices are rising. Remember, as usual, show the silver dollars to the family and keep the copper coins. Especially you, girl, you have to abide by the rules.

After explaining to Jiang Mingxin the rules among children in Lugang Town, Jiang Mingxin nodded, and the pigtails on the back of his head beat happily.

Sure enough, after returning home, Miao Cuihua asked how much the red envelope was.

The little girl showed the silver dollar, and Miao Cuihua snatched it away: When you get married, I will give it to you as a dowry.

When they turn their heads, the little girl curls her lips and rolls her eyes like the gossiping old ladies in the town. Usually, someone will be ruined in their mouth at this time.

The little girl thought to herself: Everything is a dowry, can you afford such a large dowry?

It is said that the New Year is for children, and it is over when the children are making noise.

Thirty-one years of Guangxu reign.

Zhao Chuanxin found out that Ganfan was pregnant.

I don’t know which dog is wild in town.

Ganfan was lying lazily on the dog bed. Zhao Chuanxin covered him with a quilt, and he kicked it off in disgust.

So, Zhao Chuanxin said in a serious tone: Gongfan, you won't be able to jump like before in the future. If you want to jog, don't help others drive chickens, ducks and geese.

At this time, I lose my appetite for dry rice, and sometimes I am not in a hurry when it’s time to eat.

Zhao Chuanxin gave it a reasonable nutritional supplement, even though a sheep farmer in the town bought goat milk and mixed it with eggs, but he didn't dare to feed it more.

If they are raised too fat, they may have difficulty in giving birth in the future.

Nowadays, the face of the dog who is doing the cooking has a bit more solemnity as if he is about to become a mother.

But Li Guangzong didn't stop, and he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles after the New Year.

Sir, we should leave as soon as possible.

No need to worry, the first month of the year isn't even here yet.

At this time, people generally say that after the twelfth lunar month, it is the new year. It is also said that the first month is the year.

Many people think that the New Year will be completed after February 2nd.

Li Guangzong clapped his fingers and said: At this time, Russia's backyard is already on fire, and revolution has begun; the Battle of Fengtian has begun; the Beiyang New Army is about to be reorganized. The whole world is changing, and we cannot stand still. This year is a particularly important year for China.

Raising his index finger and shaking it, Zhao Chuanxin said: You are wrong. Every year is important to China. Furthermore, the world is always changing, and time that does not change will become meaningless. In short, Just wait a little longer, it’s too cold now…”

Of course, the main reason is that the weather has not warmed up yet. This will be different from the future. High-speed rail and planes are convenient to go anywhere. If not, taking a train can at least make it to the destination warmly.

Riding a horse and dining in the snow was too much.

Li Guangzong was unyielding: I really can't wait any longer. I saw your husband's drawings and the future planning of Lugang Town requires a lot of money...
