mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 108
At the end of the twelfth lunar month, Japan and Russia fought in Heigoutai.

Japan's western wing was basically out of ammunition and food, but Russia once again lost a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to beat the dog in the water, and failed to expand the results of the war, allowing Little Japan to escape.

Immediately afterwards, preparations for the Battle of Fengtian began.

This is the last and most critical battle.

Just as the two sides were in full swing for battle preparations, Lugang Town ushered in the New Year.

Zhao Chuanxin prepared new clothes and shoes for Miao Cuihua, Jiang Mingxin, Li Guangzong and Daya Su.

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

As if it had been agreed upon, the snot-nosed babies had a good memory and arrived at Zhao Chuanxin's house on time.

In Zhao Chuanxin's room, the boxes were piled up into a hill and distributed one by one.

Defu opened the box and took a look. In addition to candies, candied pastries, and assorted biscuits, there were melon seeds and peanuts inside.

So he murmured, "Last year they were all good things, so how can I use peanuts and melon seeds to make up the numbers this year?"

"Don't be dissatisfied." Zhao Chuanxin divided the last box: "These days, even the land of the landlord's house is gone. Who has surplus food?"

Landlord’s Land Code is gone?Isn't that what they are talking about, Ergenjue Luoshi?
The original children feel that it is worse than last year, but this year's new children are full of joy.

Didn't expect such a good thing!

Defu rolled his eyes and said, "Come again in the evening to pay New Year's greetings to uncle."

Since we eat less, the red envelopes at night will not be less than last year, right?

Zhao Chuanxin hurriedly said: "Too many people kowtow to me for fear of shortening their lifespan. It should be those people from last year."

It's a joke, there are too many children in Lugang Town now, everyone comes to kowtow to give New Year's money, he can't afford it.

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

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

Zhao Chuanxin gave an order.

Liu Baogui has a family, and Zhao Chuanxin has a cook, so they can spare time to play.

Gao Li and Daya Su are the breadwinners of the east and the west, and they can also have some free time.

A group of people went to Double Happiness's tea house to play cards.

After playing until the afternoon, Zhao Chuanxin kept losing. He lost ten silver dollars, so he immediately pushed the cards: "Hey, hey, let's stop playing. I'm going back to take pictures."

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

Zhao Chuanxin has taken several photos before. There are photos of the Japanese-Russian war in Liao area, photos of ordinary people being driven to work by Japan and Russia, photos of civilian houses destroyed by shells, and photos of himself after killing Japan and Russia. There are also many photos of Lugang Town.

He dragged people to develop the photos, and preserved them very well.

How can you not take pictures during the Chinese New Year?
In front of Zhao Chuanxin's house, a group of people stood up and asked someone to press the shutter. The photo was taken when the flash was on.

Zhao Chuanxin pushed away the people from the insurance team and said, "Let's all make room, and our own family will get another one."

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

Zhao Zhongyi said that he also wanted to take a family photo, and everyone wanted to take a family photo after that...

In the end, Zhao Chuanxin estimated that there was not much film left, so he said: "Let's go here, there is no film, the last few pictures, whoever climbed to the highest roof, give us Lugang Town as a souvenir, after the renovation next year Make another comparison."

Double Happiness volunteered, "I'll come!"

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

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

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

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

This year's Chinese New Year, the money wrapped in dumplings stuffed with sauerkraut is silver dollars, and Zhao Chuanxin washed the money several times before wrapping it in.

The little girl broke her teeth when she came up, and the broken teeth were loosened, and she cried out in pain.

Gao Li smiled and said, "Little girl will get rich next year."

Looking at the blackened silver dollar, Zhao Chuanxun felt that sauerkraut might be poisonous and should eat less in the future, in view of the rumors that the ancients used silver needles to detect poison.

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 immediately blended into the group.

As soon as he opened the door, Defu knelt down: "Uncle, I wish you New Year's greetings!"

Zhao Chuanxin cheered him up: "Okay, okay, there are red envelopes."

After receiving the red envelope, Defu touched it, um, there must be silver dollars, it feels like this.

After all the New Year's greetings are over, the snot-nosed children go out, carrying the lanterns from last year as usual, gathering the lights and opening red envelopes.

"Hey, one silver dollar, twenty copper plates this year!"

"My uncle said, what kind of inflation, we have an extra ten cents this year."

Telford said: "It's inflation, rising prices. I remember everything, as usual, the silver dollars are shown to the family, and the copper coins are kept by myself. Especially you, girl, you have to obey the rules."

Waiting to explain to Jiang Mingxin the rules among the children in Lugang Town, Jiang Mingxin nodded, and the little braids on the back of his head danced 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 she turned her head, the little girl curled her lips and rolled her eyes like the tongue-twisting old ladies in the town. Usually at this time, someone would be ruined by them.

The little girl said in her heart: I can take everything as a dowry, can I get so much dowry?
It is said that the new year is for children, and the middle age is over when the children are noisy.

Guangxu 31 years.

Zhao Chuanxin found out that Ganfan was pregnant.

Don't know which dog's wild breed in town.

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

Therefore, Zhao Chuanxin said earnestly: "Cooking rice, you can't jump around like before. If you want to jog, don't help others catch chickens, ducks and geese."

At this time, the appetite for dry rice is low, and sometimes it is not in a hurry when it is time to eat.

Zhao Chuanxin gave it reasonable nutritional supplements, and the goat farmers in the town bought goat milk and mixed it with eggs, but they didn't dare to feed it too much.

If you are too fat, you may have dystocia in the future.

Nowadays, the face of the cooking dog has a little more solemnity about being a mother.

But Li Guangzong didn't stop, and after the new year, he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

"Sir, we should start early."

"What's the rush, the first month hasn't come out yet."

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

Many people think that the Chinese New Year is over after February [-].

Li Guangzong snapped his fingers and said, "Russia's backyard is on fire at this time, and revolutions have begun; the Battle of Fengtian has already started; the new Beiyang 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, Zhao Chuanxin said: "You are wrong, every year is very important to China. Moreover, the world is always changing, and the same time will become meaningless. In short, Wait a little longer, it's too cold now..."

Of course, the main reason is that the weather has not yet warmed up, and this will be different in future generations. It is convenient to go anywhere by high-speed rail and plane. If it is not good, at least you can get to your destination warmly by train.

Those who ride horses and eat wind and sleep in the snow are too miserable.

Li Guangzong persevered: "I really can't wait any longer. I read the master's drawings, and the future planning of Lugang Town needs a lot of money..."
