At a quarter past noon, two tables of vegetables were placed in the main hall of Zizhuyuan.

Mr. Li Ye and Mr. Li shared a table together, and Agui shared a table with the workers in the yard.

The Master, who seldom spoke on weekdays, stood up and held a wine glass: "Today is New Year's Eve, everyone will have a great time eating and drinking, and I will give you red envelopes later."

Li Hongxiu also stood up, holding the wine glass and said: "It's rare that Li Ye goes home to celebrate the New Year. I will give out red envelopes to everyone soon."

Agui and the workers all stood up, picked up their wine glasses and said thank you to the master and Li Hongxiu.

Li Xiaoxue sat next to Ye Zhiqiu, stretched out her little hand and said: "Brother, give me money."

Mu Mu sat next to Li Ye, stretched out her hand and said, "Brother, red envelope."

Li Ye lightly slapped her little hand and said, "Everyone should eat and drink first! After that, we will give out red envelopes. Everyone has a share!"

The wife picked up the wine glass and had a drink with the husband.

...

Fengyun City is getting colder and colder, and the cold wind outside the hall is getting colder and colder. The days pass quietly between the fingers, and quietly, it has been almost nine years since Li Ye came to this world.

Everyone drank a lot that night, and even Agui, who didn't usually drink, came up to pay homage to Li Ye.

Everyone knew that at the beginning of spring after the new year, the young master would travel far away with his husband. While everyone was toasting, Li Ye also gave out red envelopes of five gold coins to each person. In the end, even the workers were drunk.

Everyone had a peaceful and warm New Year's Eve dinner. Li Hongxiu also gave each person a red envelope of five gold coins.

Only Li Xiaoxue was the happiest. It was the first time she got so many gold coins. She counted them on the dining table and said in a sweet voice: "Mine, everything is mine."

After drinking, Li Ye took advantage of the drunkenness to dance with his sword in the snow in the garden. In an instant, he saw only the flying snow and the shadow of the sword all over the sky.

Seeing Li Xiaoxue clapping her hands non-stop, Li Hongxiu and Ye Zhiqiu were in a daze.

While dancing a stick of incense, I was thinking of my husband's amazing sword slashing the snow in Tianshan Mountain. Li Ye put away his sword and strolled around. When he reached the eaves outside the hall, he casually waved the wooden sword in his hand.

When he lowered his head, he saw three and a half hexagonal snowflakes on the sword, quietly sticking to it.

The gentleman came over, stretched out his hand to take the wooden sword, and smiled lightly. "Yes, I can chop off six flowers next year!"

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the snowflakes attached to the sword instantly turned into snow water and flew back to the vast snow field.

After practicing with my husband for three years, I failed to master the Fallen Leaf Sword, but I accidentally mastered the skill of Cutting Snow. At the New Year's Eve dinner when I was nine years old, I cut three snowflakes with one sword.

Mu Mu watched Li Ye dance with his sword, and felt unwilling to do so. She also jumped into the snow, took out her wooden knife, and slashed into the wind and snow one after another, but she still couldn't get what she wanted.

She was so angry that she jumped back to the front of the hall with her lips pouted, took Li Ye's hand and asked, "Why can't Mu Mu chop snow like her brother?"

Li Ye pulled her to sit next to him, gently scratched her nose, and said with a smile: "While I was practicing my sword, were you snoozing? Do you think you can cut snow?"

Xiaoqing covered her mouth and snickered.

Xiaobai gnawed on the chicken legs and said with a smile: "My brother caught me out of bed every morning to practice swordsmanship in the mountains. He didn't give me food until I finished practicing. You can't stand that miserable sister." After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked up.

The direction of Tianshan.

Li Ye followed Xiao Bai's gaze and saw that the sky was full of wind and snow, and Tianshan Mountain was nowhere to be seen. He couldn't help but sigh softly and said, "I don't know whether the two seniors left through the void or stayed in Tianshan Mountain."

I’m staying with my children and grandchildren.”

The teacher smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has his own reasons for everything, and you can't force it."

...

With Li Ye at home celebrating the New Year, every day is lively.

I get up at nine o'clock every day and carry three big wooden buckets from the kitchen to the back mountain to fetch spring water. I look at Agui inexplicably and follow him and shout: "Master, there is a well at home, why are you going to the back mountain to fetch spring water? Are you tired?"

"

Li Ye looked at him and smiled, but did not answer. He continued to carry water every day.

After returning from the Great Buddha Temple and practicing for a few more days, he found that his footprints on the snow were getting shallower and shallower, and he couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

It was already Chen hour after he finished carrying water every day, so he went into the house and picked up Mu Mu. Xiaobai got up and practiced swordplay for an hour.

After practicing sword practice, they went shopping with their younger brothers and sisters. After shopping at East Street and West Street, Xiaobai and Xiaoqing's space rings were filled with various snacks and cakes.

In the afternoon, he led Mu Mu to play the piano together. Li Ye played it twice first, and Mu Mu followed him and played it twice.

The melodious sound of the piano made Li Xiaoxue keep holding Ye Zhiqiu's hand and saying that she wanted to learn to play the piano from her brothers and sisters. Ye Zhiqiu had no choice but to hug her and say, "Our Xiaoxue is too young now. When she grows up, let her teacher's wife teach Xiaoxue how to play the piano."

Every afternoon, people passing by Zizhuyuan would stop for a while to listen to the sound of the piano coming from inside, and repeatedly admired: Only the disciples taught by Mr. Mo have such piano skills.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Tang Youyu's family came to pay New Year's greetings. Boss Tang held Li Ye's hand and said, "When you pass by Qingcheng, go and see my Tang Dynasty, and let him come back to see my father and mother when he has time."

Li Ye smiled and replied: "Uncle, don't worry, he is my brother, I will definitely go and see him."

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Hu Qingshan brought his wife to pay New Year's greetings. He said the same thing as Tang Youyu, asking him to go see Hu Ge and Xiao Ju. Before leaving, he quietly stuffed two big money bags into Li Ye and said: "What's inside

There are five thousand gold coins, and the rest can probably be sold for another three thousand."

Li Ye took it, stuffed it into the space ring, and said with a smile: "You can just give my mother two thousand when the time comes. The remaining one thousand is for me to honor my uncle and aunt on behalf of Hu Ge and Xiaoju."

When Hu Qingshan heard this, his eyes turned red and he almost shed tears. He patted Li Ye's shoulder heavily and said, "I won't say anything anymore. When you leave, your uncle won't come to see you off. It's very uncomfortable!"

"

Li Ye patted him gently and said with a faint smile: "Hu Ge and Xiao Ju will not suffer any loss if they are with the little fat boy. I guess when they come back in a few years, the little fat boy should call you daddy!"

Hu Qingshan glared, took his hand and said: "And this matter, why don't I, the father, know about it?"

Li Ye looked at him and said with a smile: "What? Are you still unwilling?"

...

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the sunshine that had not been seen for a long time appeared in Fengyun City, and the sky was clear.

At a quarter past three, Li Ye led Xiaoqing and Xiaobai out of Zizhuyuan quietly. Agui had already hitched the carriage outside the door.

The group of four people left Fengyun City quietly. Li Ye took them outside the North City Gate and got out of the car.

"When you get there, listen to Sister Xiaoqing and practice well." Li Ye hugged Xiaobai tightly and said softly.

Xiaobai shed tears and said: "Xiaobai can't bear to leave my brother, Mumu and Xiaoxue. How about I stay with my brother?"

Li Ye took out a handkerchief to wipe away his tears, glared at him and said, "You are talking nonsense again, follow your sister well, remember to come back and accompany me to explore the five realms when you have achieved success in practice."

Xiaobai nodded heavily.

Li Ye looked at Xiao Qing again and said, "Xiao Bai's ring is full of food. You can give it to Mu Mu's mother when you go back. Tell her that I am here, and Mu Mu please rest assured."

Xiaoqing nodded and said softly: "I will come back to you after I finish the work over there."

Li Ye was stunned and said, "I don't know where Mumu and I are when you come back. How can you find them?"

When Xiaoqing heard this, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can find you."

Li Ye waved to Agui and said, "Go! Be careful on the road."

Agui nodded, waved his whip, and with the wheels turning, the two of them gradually left the city.

Looking at the carriage going away, Li Ye murmured softly: "It's going to be heaven and earth. I hope we can meet again soon."

...

When Li Ye walked to Wang Xiaoer's noodle stall, he was opening the door and lighting the fire, and the early customers hadn't come yet.

Li Ye ate a large amount of beef noodles with scallions and two fried dough sticks.

While eating, I ordered the waiter to fry more than 20 fried dough sticks, package them and take them home.

When we returned to Zizhuyuan, the time was almost over.

Ye Zhiqiu was sitting in front of the hall combing Li Xiaoxue's hair.

Looking at Li Ye walking back from outside the hospital, Ye Zhiqiu was startled and said, "Ye'er, where have you been so early in the morning?"

Li Ye put the fried dough sticks on the table, opened it, tore off one, handed it to Xiaoxue, and said, "Xiaoqing and Xiaobai are going home, Agui and I will go and send them off."

"Go home? Where can they go back?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.

Li Ye looked back in the direction of Tianshan and said softly: "Of course they are going back to the home where they were born. I'm afraid I won't see Xiaobai for many years."

Ye Zhiqiu followed Li Ye's eyes and seemed to understand something, then asked: "Does Mu Mu know about this?"

Li Ye shook his head and said, "I'll tell her later." After saying that, he looked down at Xiaoxue and said, "Is it delicious? Slow down."

Li Xiaoxue was chewing on the fried dough sticks in her hand, looking at the bag on the table. She said in a sweet voice: "Brother, I want more."

Li Ye looked at the hot porridge on the table, filled a bowl for her, and blew it carefully to feed her: "Eat some porridge first, and then eat fried dough sticks later."

Ye Zhiqiu looked at Li Ye and said quietly: "You are sending away one after another. Don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"

Li Ye looked up at her and said with a faint smile: "My old master monk said that you must learn to look down on reunions and separations in the world."

Ye Zhiqiu let out a long sigh and looked at his son speechlessly.

At this young age, you must learn to look down on separation in the world.

...

This morning, Li Ye did not go to the back mountain to carry water, did not practice his sword, and did not take his sister to go shopping.

After Mu Mu got up and learned the news of Xiao Qing and Xiao Bai's departure, she didn't cry for the first time. She hugged Li Ye tightly and never let go.

After Mr. Wang got up and Li Hongxiu learned the news, they were shocked but speechless. The family sat in front of the hall and drank porridge quietly and ate the fried dough sticks Li Ye bought.

Li Ye served Mu Mu a bowl of porridge, and after feeding her for the first time, she finished the bowl. Mu Mu took a fried dough stick and tore it into pieces while eating, with tears falling from the corners of her eyes.

Li Ye took out his handkerchief and gently wiped it off for her. He whispered: "She will come back again. My brother is here to accompany you."

Mu Mu nodded, stretched out her hand and pulled Li Ye's clothes tightly without letting go.

After breakfast, the husband sat on the table and made tea. Looking at everyone's dull atmosphere, he smiled and said: "It's a good thing that she can go back. Isn't it that you have been practicing hard just to go to the starry sky?"

Li Hongxiu clapped her hands, put the bowl in her hand on the table, and said with a smile: "When she comes back, maybe the elixir she brings back will allow us to break through a few more realms."

Only Li Xiaoxue patted her belly carefree and said, "Xiaoxue ate too much again."

Li Ye was a little uninterested, looked at her and said, "Eat less next time, I'm not robbing you."

Li Xiaoxue gestured like a fried dough stick and said with a smile: "It's delicious... Xiaoxue likes it."

Li Ye looked at Ye Zhiqiu and shook his head, saying, "Mom has to look after some younger sisters. She can't overeat every time. It won't do much good to her health."

Mu Mu raised her head, wiped her tears, looked at Li Xiaoxue and said, "Sister, you can't be a greedy kitten. You will become a fat cat when you grow up."

Li Xiaoxue asked in confusion: "Sister... what is a fat cat?"

"A fat cat is a cat that no one will like you." Mu Mu was very sad at first, but looking at Li Xiaoxue's cute look, she couldn't help but laugh.
