New Year's Eve is coming quietly!
The people of Qingshan County put up lanterns and streamers, showing a rare sense of celebration.
The pharmacy also considerately gave them a few days off and allowed the handyman apprentices to go home and have family reunions. Only Wei Han was a little confused because he didn't know where to go!
This is the first year since time travel!
New Year celebrations may be repeated hundreds of millions of times in the future.
But Wei Han couldn't find anyone with whom he could celebrate the New Year in the prosperous Qingshan County. He only felt that waves of loneliness were coming like a tide, threatening to overwhelm his heart at any time.
"It seems that my mental endurance is still too weak!"
"When thousands of lights are shining brightly, but I remain motionless, silently enjoying the loneliness and silence, then I am qualified to bear the pain of eternal life."
Wei Han smiled bitterly and reflected for a while!
I took the time to clean and decorate all three small courtyards.
It barely makes my little home feel a little more New Year-ish.
He also declined many invitations from his master and senior brother to celebrate the New Year together, and then walked out of the courtyard alone and started shopping on the street.
After a while, Wei Han had many large and small bags in his hand!
There are sweet and delicious caramels, bunches of candied haws, colorful wooden toys, and many pastries from Ming Guifang on West Street.
Naturally, I didn’t buy so many gifts just for myself.
Wei Han thought about it and felt that he had not adapted to being alone. It was too uncomfortable to celebrate the New Year alone, so he simply went to Baishan Hall in the south of the city.
This Baishantang is located in the south corner of the city!
It was purchased and decorated by Xu Youran himself.
With monthly contributions from Jufu Restaurant and half of Wei Han's share, a charity hall was established to take in all the homeless, old, weak, women, children, and orphans!
Wei Han has never been here since it was built!
I came over to take a look at it when I had time today, and found out that this shrine is indeed quite big.
Xu Youran directly bought three or four three-entry courtyards left by wealthy households in the south of the city. After opening them up, he started a lot of construction work and built a lot of houses and shops.
Although the residential environment is average, the surroundings are clean and tidy, making it a better place to live than living on the streets.
When Wei Han rushed here, he found that Xu Youran and Lu'er were also there.
They were surrounded by a group of children in the courtyard, and they kept handing out many small gifts, which made the children cheer and cheer, and the two girls also had faint smiles on their faces.
"Shopkeeper Xu, Miss Lu'er, why are you free here today?" Wei Han said cheerfully.
Xu Youran raised his head in surprise, and showed a hint of surprise when he realized it was him: "Why did Mr. Wei come here in person? Today is New Year's Eve, and you are not at home with your family?"
After saying that, Xu Youran realized that something was wrong with him.
She bowed apologetically and said awkwardly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, the little lady made a mistake!"
"It's okay!" Wei Han smiled nonchalantly: "There really aren't many relatives at home. It's too lonely to celebrate the New Year alone, so I might as well come over and have a look."
With that said, Wei Han distributed the gifts to the children!
This caused a burst of cheers from these children.
Only then did he notice that most of the children here were under the age of ten, and many of them were disabled. Although the clothes were washed and starched, they could not hide the appearance and thinness of the food.
"Last time the government expelled the victims, there were too many orphans who were old and weak. Miss couldn't bear to ignore them, so she took them all in." Seeing this, Lu'er casually explained: "Now there are 371 orphans in our Baishan Hall. There are 243 weak women and children who are unable to take care of themselves."
"Since it cost a lot to rent and renovate the yard in the early stage, I bought some old cotton clothes for everyone, and invited a doctor to come and see the doctor, so my life was very tight."
"Thanks to the large amount of leftovers in our restaurant every day, and the fact that the children are sensible and willing to help, we can barely survive."
"Next, the lady is planning to invite a private school teacher to come over and provide education for the children. This is another huge expense."
Wei Han nodded understandingly upon hearing this.
Opening a charity hall is indeed not as good as giving out porridge, and its cost can be much higher.
To support hundreds of people for nothing, the monthly rent and daily food, clothing, housing and transportation have to be spent on money, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.
"Just do what you can!" Wei Han said with emotion: "If it weren't for kind-hearted people like Shopkeeper Xu, the children would not have a chance to survive. You have done a great job."
"If you want to say that you have infinite merit, you have to be Mr. Wei!" Xu Youran chuckled and said, "Don't forget that you spend half of your monthly income here. But Mr. Wei, there is no need to be impatient, Shantang The initial cost is higher, but then it will be much better.”
"Just do your best and obey fate." Wei Han suggested with great interest: "I happen to be free today, why not let me cook the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Okay, Mr. Wei's cooking skills have made this little girl miss you for a long time." Xu Youran smiled expectantly.
Wei Han began to greet more than a dozen older orphans, and they started to get busy together!
The food in Baishantang is actually very ordinary. Every day there are either leftovers from the restaurant or some porridge and steamed buns.
During the Chinese New Year, Wei Han wanted everyone to eat well.
I specially bought four fans of pork and several fans of beef and mutton.
Then he boiled four large pots and simmered the rice directly.
Then he put the stewed pork chops on the rice and stirred them into a fragrant pork chop bibimbap. The soaring aroma made all the children in Baishan Hall shine with excitement.
"Oh my God, it smells so good! I have never smelled such delicious food."
"What kind of skill is this? Big brother is too good, isn't he?"
"It's delicious, it's really delicious, woo woo woo!"
Everyone in Baishantang was very satisfied with this New Year's Eve dinner.
Even Xu Youran and Lu'er didn't even go home, but had a makeshift meal here.
The atmosphere at the banquet was warm, and everyone seemed to have found a home here. Hearts that were afraid of being lonely hugged each other for warmth, and regarded each other as family.
After the meal, Wei Han gradually became familiar with the orphans.
He played games with the children and washed the pots and pans.
He even taught them how to practice boxing and martial arts in the end.
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!" Wei Han looked at these ignorant children and said patiently: "Miss Xu is kind enough to adopt you, but she cannot raise you all her life. In the future, she will ask the teacher to teach you. Learn how to read and write, and I will teach you a set of boxing techniques!"
"If you can become famous, it won't be difficult for you to support yourself in the future. This boxing method is called "Tiger Roaring Bafang Jue". It focuses on the tiger roaring in the mountains and forests. The mind can move at will and the punch can be like the wind! When doing physical activities, you must Imitate the walking of a tiger, shaking the joints and exerting force, progressing step by step!"
"It can exercise the muscles of the whole body, stimulate your potential, and lay a solid foundation for the future of martial arts. You can practice it three to five times a day in the early stage. You can never practice more. Do you understand?"
While Wei Han was explaining, he was tossing and turning, fists and feet roaring!
This "Tiger Roaring Eight Directions Technique" is the best and most suitable to teach among the many strength training techniques that he has laid the foundation for. If he teaches it with his extreme level of understanding, it is definitely a hundred times better than ordinary martial arts instructors.
Children are ignorant and know that practicing martial arts can change their destiny.
After practicing each movement jerkily, the sound of fists, kicks and shouts suddenly sounded in the Baishan Hall of Nuo University.
"Young Master Wei is truly a wonderful man!"
Xu Youran looked at this scene with burning eyes, and there was an inexplicable look in his eyes.
