This sentence warmed Yi Zhonghai's heart - such a disciple is rare, no matter whether it is a small matter or a big matter, Jia Dongxu can make him feel relieved. Especially the words "worry about me", which shows how important Jia Dongxu thinks of his position in his heart.

There was ice and snow under Jia Dongxu's feet. As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he accidentally slipped and it was too late for him to stand firm.

Jia Dongxu waved his hands wildly and fell from the eaves, hitting the snow hard.

"Dongxu! How are you? Are you not hurt?" Seeing this, Yi Zhonghai's legs became weak - he could not afford any mistakes, as this talented disciple was the most ideal person to entrust his old age to.

Jia Dongxu himself was also scared and broke into a cold sweat, but apart from a dizzy spell, he felt no discomfort. He staggered to his feet, and his limbs moved freely without any injuries.

"It's okay. Fortunately, the snow is very thick and can serve as a cushion for me. Master, don't worry." Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai also felt relieved.

"If you are safe, then it's a sunny day. If there is anything wrong, then we must go to the hospital immediately." Yi Zhonghai still said worriedly.

"Yes, Dongxu, how are you? Why don't we go to the hospital for a full body check-up?" The voice coming from behind the door came from Qin Huairu, who had just hurried out to change her coat. It was obvious that she was curious about the voice just now and came here.

Jia Zhang seemed to be unaware of the noises and was still immersed in her sleep undisturbed.

"I'm really fine, except for the pain inside my body." Jia Dongxu said with a smile. "It must be a bruise somewhere, I'll just apply some medicinal wine later."

"It's a blessing to have only minor injuries after sliding down from such a high roof. I'm really lucky."

"Yes, I happen to have a bottle of bruise wine at home." Yi Zhonghai replied, "I'll go find it for you. Qin Huairu will apply some oil on you. If you feel unwell, you should see a doctor immediately."

Then he added: "Fortunately, the snow that was just cleared is still there, otherwise it would be really dangerous. Dongxu, you must be extra careful in the future, and think about your family!"

In fact, in Yi Zhonghai's mind, he originally intended to say "Just think that I still rely on you!"

The next morning, at six o'clock, Ding Weidong got up and prepared to face the new day. At this time, the snow had stopped falling. So he continued to complete the remaining snow clearing work and cleared the accumulated snow.

"Brother Dong, where should we put this snow?" Li Qingyu asked with a slight blush on her face.

"Let's just pile them here for now. It's just the right size to make a snowman." Ding Weidong responded with a smile: "It will take a long time to transport them far away, and we still have a lot of important things to do next."

As a result, they placed the three small snowmen behind the kitchen and between the mountain wall. The arrangement of the two large and one small snowmen was done with the help of Li Qingyu, who used carbon powder to depict their eyes, noses and mouth corners.

At exactly eight o'clock, Xiao Yu'er had been tidied up and was ready to be cleaned and washed, while He Yushui was putting on her apron sleeves and preparing to come over to help.

After breakfast, Li Qingyu and He Yushui stayed in the kitchen busy. At this time, Ding Weidong was concentrating on carpentry work under the eaves, and Xiao Yuer was also helping in the kitchen.

Ding Weidong was making part of the bow and arrow - the arrow body, and he chose birch wood as the material. Some of the wood stored in the bedroom was also made of this high-quality wood. Ding Weidong didn't know where the birch wood stored in the house came from, but it was just right for making arrows now.

The five-meter-long birch wood strips are split into five one-meter-long sections, which are then further cut into shorter sections. They are then carefully whittled into sticks using a saw, and then planes are used to refine the shape, making the arrow shaft smoother and more rounded.

All these operations were easy for Ding Weidong and progressed rapidly.

Yan Bugui, who was standing nearby, noticed something and couldn't help but admire: "Oh! Director Ding, your woodworking skills are extraordinary. You can saw wood in such a straight line without marking it in advance. It's really admirable."

Normally, Ding Weidong would not pay much attention to him, unless the "old man" had some plan, then he would respond directly.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "If you are making fishing rods... I actually have some good materials here. How about making a pair for me? It's just a piece of cake."

"By the way, your house hasn't put up Spring Festival couplets yet. Please give me two cents. How about I write some nice couplets with auspicious words for you?" he said.

Ding Weidong replied coldly: "Get away! Yan Bugui, are you planning to plot against me again? If today wasn't a holiday, I would have taught you a lesson." His tone was filled with indifference.

"And how can you teach like this?" Ding Weidong continued, "Your behavior is really disgusting. By the way, when the new semester comes, I will go to your school and tell them how you schemed against my family."

When Yan Bugui heard this, his face turned pale and he fell to the ground. If this matter spread in the school, he would definitely be punished in some way - this was definitely beyond his ability to handle.

"Chief Ding, Chief Ding, please forgive me. Please treat it as nonsense." These words almost made him kneel down in front of Ding Weidong. "I will never cause trouble again in the future. Please forgive me this time."

After saying that, he even slapped her twice. I don't know if it was because of excessive force or what, but the slapping sound was really loud.

"Get out of here!" Ding Weidong said coldly.

"Ah! Get out of here, get out of here!" Saying this, Yan Bugui left immediately.

When he returned home, he thought the battle was over, wiped the cold sweat from his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the system's voice rang in Ding Weidong's mind: "After punishing Yan Bugui, you have obtained the ability of 'Mastering Abacus Skills'."

"Oh my god, I'm going to make a fortune!" He felt very excited.

At this moment, Xiao Yuer came to Ding Weidong, holding the doll in one hand and occasionally putting some raisins into his mouth with the other hand, and asked:

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Ding Weidong smiled and said, "I'm making arrow shafts now. How about I make a rocking horse for you later, Xiaoyuer?"

"What does a rocking horse look like?" Xiao Yuer asked puzzledly.

"Well, I'll make one for you right away." Ding Weidong put away the arrows he was making and moved an old table from the kitchen doorway over to get started.

This old table is a genuine solid wood product, which will be worth a lot in the future. Ding Weidong quickly started the production work without drawing the blueprint in advance.

Ding Weidong has such ability not only because of his great strength, but more importantly, his precise control of force has enabled him to achieve a fundamental breakthrough in his carpentry skills.

After delivering the medicinal wine to Jia Dongxu, Yi Zhonghai returned home. It was still early, so he decided to catch up on some sleep in bed. The next morning, when he got up at eight o'clock, he found that Tan Jinhua had already started preparing breakfast.

"Old Yi, come and eat. I have already sent grandma's breakfast to her."

Tan Jinhua asked: "We are going to Jia's house tonight to celebrate New Year's Eve. Do you need to bring some gifts..."

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "No need. I have already given all the welfare items to their family, including two kilograms of meat and five kilograms of flour, as well as a chicken and a fish."

"In fact, celebrating the festival together is nothing more than a reunion dinner in the evening. We will still have to celebrate it alone in the future. Choosing to go to the Jia family this time can be regarded as giving them some care."

"I understand." Tan Jinhua nodded to show her understanding.

Tan Jinhua and Yi Zhonghai understood the meaning of this, but it is not certain whether Sha Zhu also understood it. In fact, Sha Zhu had already given all his New Year gifts to Qin Huairu.

After finishing breakfast, Yi Zhonghai knocked on Sha Zhu's room: "Zhu Zi, get up. It's almost ten o'clock now. You should hurry to Dong Xu's house to prepare for the dinner."

Sha Zhu, who opened the door, said lazily: "Uncle, you are too embarrassing me. I just lay down for a while. There is no need to rush for the New Year's Eve dinner."

"I still have to go to the bathhouse. I'll cook when I get back."

At this time, Qin Huairu came out with her little companion and said with a smile: "Take your companion with you. I will be responsible for preparing the ingredients for dinner, and you can come back early to cook."

Sha Zhu stared at Qin Huairu and said with a smile: "Haha, okay, Sister Qin, just trust me. My cooking skills are first-rate." Then he added: "I'll be back in a moment."

"Let's go, Banban. Walk faster and I'll buy you some candied haws later."

But Bang Geng said with a look of disgust: "I don't want to go to the bathhouse. If I want to go, I should let my dad take me. I don't want to go with the idiot."

"How dare you talk like that? This is your Uncle Zhu. I have to teach you a lesson if you do that." Qin Huairu said, "Your father has a foot injury, so he can't go with you."

Although Jia Dongxu's body has recovered somewhat, the bruises still hurt.

However, seeing these bruises, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi felt more relieved: these were only superficial injuries and would heal on their own in a few days.

"Okay, sure. How about Uncle Zhu buy you three candy balls?" After Banggeng suggested it, Sha Zhu immediately agreed with a smile.

At this moment, Shazhu's thoughts were all on Qin Huairu, and he turned a deaf ear to Banggeng's ridicule.

At the same time, Ding Weidong also completed a small wooden rocking chair in less than half an hour, and carefully removed all the tiny wood residues from the corners.

The size of this rocking horse is quite exaggerated, about sixty centimeters high.

Looking at the rocking horse, Xiao Yuer's eyes became rounder and rounder, and he even forgot to put the raisins in his hand into his mouth.

"Brother Dong, your cooking skills are really good." Li Qingyu couldn't help but praise after coming out.

"It's okay. It will be even better after applying thick lacquer." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

The rocking horses have the color of the original wood. Although the wood is old, after Ding Weidong's careful processing, they have restored their original appearance.

"Okay, Xiaoyuer, you come up and try it too." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

Xiao Yuer handed Ding Weidong his doll, then carefully sat down on the rocking horse, holding on to the fixed position on the horse's head with both hands, and rocked gently.

In an instant, the entire front yard was filled with her laughter.

Although Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were a little older, they envied Xiaoyuer for having so much fun. They knew they couldn't interfere with Xiaoyuer or compete with him for the fish.

Because they didn't have any toys to speak of when they were growing up.

"Brother, give me the doll." Xiao Yuer shouted.

After several experiences, Xiaoyuer became braver, holding the handle with one hand and hugging her doll with the other. She swayed and shouted happily, looking quite happy.

Although her cheeks are still thin and her hair is still dark, her complexion looks much healthier and there is a little natural blush on her cheeks. It can be predicted that she will gradually get better in the near future.

While watching the little fish playing, Ding Weidong also began to pack up his woodworking tools. Although he had not yet finished making all the bows, he had already completed more than a dozen of them.

Later he planned to bring the remaining work into the storage space and complete it quickly using mental operations.

Just as I finished tidying up, I heard an unpleasant voice of a child: "Zhu Zi, get that thing for me. Bring it to me."

When Shazhu and Banggeng were about to take a shower, they encountered this situation, which gave them a headache.

"Let's continue bathing. If you continue to mess around, I will hand you back." Sha Zhu said, "Just wait and see if your mother will punish you."

Bang Geng commented with disdain, "You are too incompetent."

Shazhu restrained his anger and left with Banggeng.

As Banggeng left the table, he looked back repeatedly, gazing at the rocking horse and wondering how to get it.

It was not until 2:30 in the afternoon that a table full of delicious food was placed on the table.

There are four types of cold dishes and the same number of hot dishes; the former are mustard salad, jelly and bean products, pig ears and tongue sausage platter, and finally smoked fish. The smoked fish is made by He Yushui. Born into a cooking family, she really made delicious food that is praised by everyone, and the taste is unique when paired with fine wine.

Hot dishes include oversized meatballs, sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour mandarin fish, and stewed lamb brisket.

Table ** A bottle of Wuliangye liquor was ready - this was bought by Ding Weidong from a trading house. He had previously obtained many free vouchers in the pigeon market, including Class A liquor tickets and cigarette tickets.

Xiaoyuer, who was still riding the rocking horse at the moment, finally stopped reluctantly after seeing the delicious food prepared on the table, and tried his best to pull the rocking horse back to the bedroom.

Xiao Yuer washed his hands and sat down to eat. "By the way, I also bought some carbonated drinks, you guys can drink this." Ding Weidong said with a smile.

During the meal, He Yushui sighed and said, "Thank you Qingyu and Dongge. If it weren't for you, I would have to spend the Spring Festival alone this year."

Ding Weidong asked cautiously: "I can see that your brother seems to have been plotted against. Is there no way you can pull him back?"

"It's his own choice, what can I do about it?" He Yushui replied with a wry smile: "No matter how much I persuade him, it can't be compared to the influence of a few words from others."

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening when Dagua and his helper came back from taking a shower. When they got home, they were stunned by the situation in the house.

"Wait, you can't cook in this small space." Daigua said with a frown.

On the rectangular table at home were placed various ingredients that Qin Zhunru had cleaned, but the charcoal stove and small wood pot at the door made the idiot dumbfounded.

"Why don't we cook it at your house? Your house is spacious and we can just bring it over after it's done. You can help him cook it." Jia Dongxu suggested, "Qin Huairu, go help Daigua."

Hearing this proposal, the fool immediately forgot all his worries: "That's fine, OK! Let's go now!"

He took the lead and took the bamboo basket full of ingredients back; while Qin Zhunru sorted out some of the remaining ingredients and brought them over in a pot lid made of sorghum stalks.

"That idiot!" Jia Dongxu said contemptuously, "If we leave everything to him, we will have to waste our family's money on condiments and other things."

"This cunning young man has learned everything from his father, and has a lot of bad ideas." Jia Zhangtai scolded, "Qin Huairu, you must be careful to guard against this bad boy, don't let him take advantage of you." She threatened, "Otherwise I will make you realize how terrible it is..."
