Qu Yu began to live in dire straits. From that day on, the old lady sealed the well at home, and Qu Yu had to fetch all the water in the house from the village stream.

Not only did Qu Yu do all the hard work at home, but he also had to run up the mountain every day.At the beginning, Qu Yu felt tired even after running in a lap.As the days passed, Qu Yu's running time was cut in half, and he was able to carry a basket on his back to pick up some mushrooms, dig some herbs and so on.

Under the relentless practice of the old lady, Qu Yu made rapid progress, and his marksmanship improved significantly. At least his dancing was no longer like dancing.

The days passed during Qu Yu's day-to-day practice, and the first snow of the year fell in a blink of an eye, and then came Laba and Xiaonian.The day before the first year of the new year, the loyal old housekeeper brought the cold wind to the small courtyard where the masters lived temporarily.

As soon as he entered the door, the old housekeeper burst into tears, "Old madam, you have suffered, there are people living in this house!" This is the first time the old housekeeper came to the small courtyard. The word was passed that no one is allowed to come over to serve, so the old housekeeper only sent people to deliver things to the old lady a few times.Seeing the "dilapidated house" where the old lady lived this time, I felt deeply sorry for the late old master.

"Hey, didn't I tell you not to come? Why are you here again?" Although the old lady said something to blame, she was still happy to see the old man who had been serving for many years. "In this cold day, you've got old arms and legs, you're messing around! If you have anything to do, just leave it to the people below!"

The old butler wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve, "The old slave is here to pick up the masters and go home for the New Year!"

"New Year's Eve!" The old lady was slightly startled, but she smiled again in a blink of an eye, "No, it's been half a month since I drank Laba porridge! I'm old and confused!"

"Old lady, is it because the life here is leisurely, comfortable, and happy without counting the day!" Qiushuang helped the old lady smooth things over.She also reminded the old lady before that the New Year is coming soon, do you want to go back to the old house?

The old lady just stared at the snowflakes outside the window in a daze, and the matter just passed away.Qiushuang was not sure what the old lady meant, so she asked Qu Yu to ask again, but the old lady still didn't answer.I have to spend more time when purchasing and prepare for the New Year.In case the old lady is not planning to go back to the old house for the New Year, the New Year's Eve dinner should not be too shabby.

The face of the old housekeeper is worth a lot of money in front of the old lady, at least the old lady responded to the old housekeeper, "I won't go back, just live here, it's good to be a country old lady!"

The old lady's words made the old housekeeper kneel directly, "Old lady, the family still invites the ancestors to celebrate the New Year, and the master is not at home, how can this happen?"

"What's the use of asking for bones from dead people! They don't even know how to protect their own descendants!" The old lady suddenly shouted.

The old lady had a sudden attack, not only the old housekeeper, but even Qiu Shuang and others were startled.The old lady also seemed to feel that she was too excited, and said calmly: "Forget it, what the old housekeeper said is also reasonable. Qiushuang, pack up and let's go back. Second daughter-in-law, you can stay and look after the house!"

Qu Yu didn't wait for a reply, but the old housekeeper answered first: "Old madam, I can't bear to part with it. How can the second young lady, a delicate and weak girl, stay alone in this wilderness?" The old housekeeper directly looked around. Dozens of villagers ignored it.

The old lady didn't want Qu Yu to go back because after several months of training, she had grown taller and her voice was a little hoarse. Although it wasn't obvious, I'm afraid someone with a heart would notice it.However, what the old housekeeper said was somewhat reasonable, it would not be appropriate for a "girl" to be left alone, especially if this "girl" was the second young lady, one of the only three remaining masters of the Zhang family.

"Old lady, the second young lady's cold is getting better. As long as you don't catch the cold anymore and take care of yourself, you will recover soon." Mr. Xu said meaningfully.One sentence not only let the old housekeeper understand that the old lady was not cold and heartless and left the second young lady alone, but also reminded the old lady that the "second young lady" suffered from the wind and cold, and it was freezing outside, and the condition worsened after returning to the mansion. To take a good "recuperation" will not arouse suspicion.

Even Mr. Xu opened his mouth, but the old lady didn't insist anymore, she just asked Qiu Shuang to pack up, divide the food at home among several elderly people, and lock the door.After the new year, they will come back to live.

After hearing what the old lady said, the old housekeeper secretly planned to find a way to keep the old lady to live for a longer time, no matter what, it would have to be the beginning of spring, and find a few more people to rebuild the broken yard so that the master could live more comfortably.

The carriage drove to the gate of the Zhang Mansion, and the old lady got off the station and looked around at the gate, and suddenly asked the old housekeeper, "Is there any letter from Beijing?"

The old butler thought for a while, "Only the in-laws Fan Mansion sent someone to send a new year's gift, which was more generous than in previous years. The old slave filled in two more as in previous years, and sent someone to send it back."

Listening to the old housekeeper's report, the old lady nodded, "Okay, okay!" Said, she stepped up the steps and raised her legs to cross the threshold.The old lady suddenly stood still and told the old housekeeper, "Don't post Spring Festival couplets this year!"

The Zhang family has experienced many things this year. The second young master went to the northwest, and the eldest young wife passed away.Ordinarily, Ding Shaoer, the only male in the Zhang family, should be the head of the household. As the eldest wife is Shaoer's biological mother, the Zhang family should post a white filial couplet this year.

The old lady has always thought that the young lady is her own granddaughter, but the young lady has a foreign surname after all, and posting filial couplets is already very respectful. The old housekeeper doesn't understand why the old lady suddenly ordered not to post Spring Festival couplets.However, the old lady ordered, and the old housekeeper just obeyed.

Because of the old lady's instructions, the New Year's Eve in Zhang's house was particularly bleak this year, even if the old lady rewarded the servants more generously than in previous years, it didn't make this year more lively.

The new year is not fun, so on the third day of junior high school, the old lady has to go back to the small courtyard in the countryside. The old housekeeper knelt and begged to let the old lady live until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.On the morning of the [-]th, the old lady took Qu Yu, Shao'er, Qiu Shuang and Mr. Xu back to the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, the servants left behind by the old housekeeper were all driven away by the old lady who lost her temper.Chinese New Year seems to be an omen. From the beginning of this year, the old lady began to become moody, more fond of staring at the window in a daze, and became more severe towards Qu Yu.

One day in May, the old lady was very happy when she woke up, and made two gestures to Qu Yu with interest, "The marksmanship is suitable for long-distance attack, once the enemy gets close, the advantage of the marksmanship will be completely suppressed, so, you I also need to learn a set of close-up sword skills to make up for the lack of spear skills, this is also the most knack of the Zhang family's gun skills!"

After finishing speaking, the old lady took out a short knife from her sleeve and rushed towards Qu Yu's face.Qu Yu didn't prepare for the sudden attack of the old lady, and was worried about hurting the old lady, so he could only dodge in embarrassment.
