Chapter 47 Wake up
"Nanxing, come out and answer it."

The mother's voice came from outside the house. Gu Nanxing walked out of the space and went to the window to open it. At the gate of the yard, the grandmother got off the village chief's tricycle. The ground was full of large and small bags of things. She bought a lot.

She regretted not going with them. It would have been nice to help her mother and grandmother carry things.

Gu Wenlin jumped off the tricycle and said, "Nanxing, don't move. Daddy will carry you."

He entered the house dragging vegetables in urea bags in one hand and dozens of filled plastic bags in the other.

Gu Nanxing smiled and greeted Tianjiao in the car, then went in with his things.

Li Tianjiao went to the city today to buy a lot of New Year's goods and vegetables. Maybe it was because it was New Year's Day. When she went to the hospital this morning, her aunt gave her fifty yuan, which was rare.

It was inconvenient for Mr. Gu to get things while holding Xuanxuan, so he had to send his grandson in first and then come out to get them.

"Aunt Wang, I'm leaving." The village chief who was driving a tricycle stuck his head out and greeted the old lady with a smile.

"Let's go, let's go, Happy New Year!" Old Mrs. Wang said goodbye with a smile, holding a big pig's trotter.

Grandma and the others had all eaten rice noodles when they went out, but Gu Nanxing was the only one who hadn't had lunch yet. Her family was busy roasting pig's trotters and killing chickens for the New Year's Eve dinner. She was too lazy to cook for one person, so she simply waited until dinner was ready in the evening.

Old Master Gu took out the red paper he had bought to cut the couplets, and then ground the ink and wrote them with great interest.

Gu Nanxing and his brother watched from the side, praising their grandfather for his good writing from time to time.

There was still some red paper left, so Zhou Xiaoqing took a pair of scissors and cut window decorations.

Fold the paper a few times, and with a few clicks of the scissors in my mother's hand, when it is opened, a vivid pattern appears.

"Wow~ So beautiful, mom you have such a skillful hand." Gu Nanxing took it and studied it curiously. She would only smile when the almighty Immortal Lord made top-grade elixirs over the years.

She lives alone in the cold and lonely back mountains, and has not left her cave for ten thousand years. The Dan Yao Sect will never disturb her unless something catastrophic happens.

Unexpectedly, the adventure of traveling through time allowed her to feel the warmth of her family and enjoy the rich atmosphere of the New Year in a farmer's home.

Xiao Xuanxuan also took apart a paper-cut for the window that his mother had made. "It's a fish! Sister, look at my fish!"

"Xuanxuan is so lucky." Gu Nanxing squatted down and hugged him, rubbing her face against his chubby little face to show her joy.

"Hehe." The little guy laughed happily. He loved to cuddle with his sister the most.

Gu Wenlin brought a ladder to post Spring Festival couplets.

Gu Nanxing held his younger brother and pasted window paper-cuts with his mother.

"Oh~ Xiaoqing, the lantern I bought is in the urea bag that holds the cabbage." Old Mrs. Wang put the pig's trotters into the big pot. When she saw her daughter-in-law pasting window flowers, she suddenly remembered this and turned into the kitchen to get it.

In the past, she would never spend money on these decorations during the Chinese New Year, and she would not even buy meat for food.

The house was built this year, and only 30,000 yuan was left of her granddaughter's one million yuan, but she still spent the money on a few lanterns to decorate the new house.

The lanterns are big and small. The big ones are hung on both sides of the courtyard gate, and the small ones are hung on the fruit trees in the courtyard.

It’s all red, and this is the atmosphere of the New Year.

They were busy until five o'clock, and firecrackers were set off one after another in the village, which meant that his family was already offering sacrifices to their ancestors and would soon have the New Year's Eve dinner.

Gu Nanxing helped carry the dishes to the main hall and gave them to the ancestors of the Gu family first.

"Dad, can we light the firecrackers now?" Gu Wenlin excitedly took out a plate of long rainbow firecrackers that was bigger than a winnowing basket.

Old Master Gu glared at him while tearing up the straw paper. "Why are you in such a hurry? The dishes are not ready yet."

Gu Wenlin walked out of the yard holding the firecrackers and grinning foolishly, and went to the road outside to set them aside.

After the last bowl of food was served, Old Man Gu lit the incense. Before he even lit the straw paper, he heard the crackle of firecrackers going off outside his yard. "Rabbit..."

Son of a bitch, it’s New Year’s Day, but Mr. Gu still held back from cursing.

The louder the firecrackers explode, the better the meaning.

In rural areas, if a family's firecrackers lasted longer, it meant they had made a lot of money that year. Firecrackers were just for the noise, so no one would be willing to buy a large set, especially fireworks.

On important days like Chinese New Year, people have to eat in the main hall. Old Mrs. Wang and her daughter-in-law moved the usual dining table from the kitchen and moved the food offered to the ancestors there.

Gu Nanxing happily sat down holding his brother, finally able to eat.

Mrs. Wang sat down and went to her room to get two red envelopes. She gave one to each of her grandchildren and said, "Happy New Year, Nanxing. I hope you will study very well in the coming year!"

"Xuanxuan is getting better and better. I hope he grows taller and healthier next year!"

Grandma had not received much education, so her blessings were just a few simple words. Gu Nanxing was moved and thanked her and accepted them.

Gu Wenlin was busy eating, he had no money to give to his son and daughter!
Grandpa Gu glared at him, then took out a red envelope from his pocket and said, "Nanxing found a lot of precious medicinal herbs last year, so grandpa prepared a big red envelope for you early on."

"Xuanxuan also has a share."

"Thank you, Grandpa." The two siblings thanked their grandfather politely.

Gu Nanxing felt the thickness of the red envelope and instantly realized how much it was.

Zhou Xiaoqing has little income at home. She works hard with her mother-in-law, and all the earnings go to her mother-in-law. The red envelopes given by her mother-in-law are considered a token of her appreciation.

I had a bowl of soup before the meal. When my grandfather cooked the chicken, he put a lot of Panax notoginseng in it. The soup was a bit bitter, but very nutritious.

After dinner, Gu Wenlin went to Chen Dong's house to play cards.

We all came back from working, so we have more common topics to talk about when we get together.

It was a rare occasion that Mr. Gu didn't mess with the medicinal herbs. He sat in front of the TV holding his grandson and watched the Spring Festival Gala.

Gu Nanxing went upstairs and returned to the space. She didn't have these taboos. She took care of the medicinal plants in the space and harvested them when necessary.

The medicine prepared at noon was warmed up, poured into a jade bowl, and carried downstairs to give to Ji Yanchi.

The strong smell of medicine caught Old Man Gu's attention. He handed his grandson to the old woman and stood up to follow her. "I forgot there's a living dead person at home. It's not good to let Nanxing drink medicine during the New Year, right?"

Gu Nanxing laughed and said, "The hospital is open even during the Chinese New Year. Aunt Li and her husband are still staying in the hospital. Grandpa, you're overthinking it."

As she spoke, she opened the door of the guest room and turned on the light. The person on the bed looked at the grandfather and grandson at the door with a deep gaze.

Old Master Gu was so frightened that he almost screamed. His hands reacted faster than his brain and he quickly covered his mouth.

It's so embarrassing. I'm almost losing face in front of my granddaughter!
Gu Nanxing pretended not to see it and calmly carried the medicine over, "Grandpa, come and check if his hand and foot joints can move."

She is a girl and it is not convenient for her to examine a man's body.

"Hey~" Old Master Gu quickly went over and lifted the man's quilt to check.

After examining the hands and feet, I took his pulse. It was strong and vigorous, and the man could open his eyes, with bright, dark pupils and pale whites. However, his limbs were still unable to move voluntarily.

Gu Nanxing was also aware of his current situation. He put the small bamboo piece in his mouth and poured the medicine into it with a small spoon.

Who says you can only give medicine mouth to mouth? Smart people have many ways to do it.

Ji Yanchi saw clearly the girl who had saved him for several months. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and a cold and frosty gaze. A girl with such outstanding temperament was rare even in the wealthy circle of Kyoto.
