On the New Year's Eve of the third year of Yonglu (156o), Yu Qiuping was in the territory of Yeli County.

It was still snowing in Okabaya, the temperature was very low, and the wind was cold. Chang Panbei's stings were homes, old and young, so it was impossible for them to live in a simple and difficult-to-fight military camp. Therefore, Naoe Tadhihei first placed all his subordinates and their families in Kuroda City. Kuroda City is the largest city in Yuqiuping territory, and only a small number of defenders were stationed in the city. After completing the handover with Naoe Tadhihei, they all left. A large amount of spare housing in the city and the town of Naoe Tadhihei was temporarily used by Naoe Tadhihei to resettle these families.

After completing the preliminary resettlement, Naojiang Tadaehime began to buy New Year's goods for everyone at the request of Chang Pan and the officers. However, due to Yu Qiuping's lack of funds, this year's New Year's Day was relatively shabby. However, these people and subordinates who have been used to hard life have not yet "from frugality to extravagance", and they are already very happy to be able to reunite with their families.

On New Year's Eve, there were still little snowflakes floating in the sky, but there were already smoke in Kurotian City, and every household was celebrating the Spring Festival. People with military ranks above the head gathered on the first floor of Tianshou Pavilion, and dozens of people gathered together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner at a large table that I found from somewhere.

"We are not generous this year," Sena Yoshinori looked at the attendant serving the food, while sighing, "There is only one chicken, everyone saves some food."

"What! Only one is enough to eat!" Jigang Shengzheng complained.

"That's right, it's not enough to drink." Yutohiro Ogawa muttered. Since he was quite tight recently, he hadn't had a good drink for several days. After finally spending the Chinese New Year, Naoe Tadaehiro purchased some wine, and he got a glass.

Just as everyone was busy complaining, Omaezaki Nakahide suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help serve the food." After that, he turned around and left. Everyone hadn't reacted at the beginning, especially Yoshigang Katsumasaki and Ogawa Yuto, who were complaining very hard. It was Semei Yoshimoto who noticed something was wrong, but when he got up and walked to the kitchen, he had already seen Omaezaki Nakahide holding a chicken leg bone in satisfaction and walked back from the kitchen with a smile. Next to him, there was a dejected servant, holding a roast chicken with only one chicken leg left on the plate, and put it on the table.

"You boy! Damn!" Jigang Shengzheng suddenly became anxious, "There are only two chicken legs in total! You just snatched one like this! There is nothing left!"

Yoshigang Katsumasa was about to get up and go to find Omaezaki Nakahide to seek justice, but Omaezaki Nakahide pointed at his back with a wicked smile. He saw that the three pairs of chopsticks of Ogawa Yuto and Sena's Yoshinobu had reached towards the chicken leg at the same time.

"You guys! Put down the chopsticks!" Ji Gang Shengzheng hurriedly rushed to the table, and stroked the left and right, and knocked all the chopsticks on the table. However, at this time, how could everyone give up easily! That was the only chicken leg left! Even the usually very serious Water Atomic Jing, Lan Xianghuajiu, who was one level lower than the regular warrior, stretched out his chopsticks!

"No! You can't do this!" Assena Yoshihiro saw his chopsticks rolling to the other side, he probably couldn't get them. He hurriedly interrupted: "Let's give a good comment! Who will get this chicken leg?"

"Yes! Yes!" The far-away sluts also interrupted the road.

"I made the most contribution this year!" Jigang Shengzheng immediately patted his chest and smiled, "Nothing else, the first achievement of climbing to the top of Dagao City! Who can compare!"

"What, what's this?" Mimaezaki Nakahide immediately shouted: "I was in the Shima City back then. If it weren't for me, Your Highness would have been done! It's a merit of saving the Lord!"

"You have eaten a chicken leg, why are you yelling?" Nobumi Hirayama immediately cursed, "Minamichi was shocked at the beginning! It was me who was ordered to return to Suruga to report the news! Not only did he save our mistress's life, but he also arrested Okabe Masato! I made the most contribution!"

"To be honest, you succeeded by our mistress," Shui Yuanzi shook his head seriously and said, "Are you worthy of your mistress?"

Everyone quarreled with each other, but they couldn't tell the difference for a long time. Seeing that the chicken legs were about to get cold, they finally found Ansei Fukushima who was left aside and not talking.

"Big Brother! Come and judge! That brainless person is really..." Michihi Michihiro muttered and turned to Fukushima Ansei, but suddenly froze, "Oh? Big Brother, why are you crying?"

Fukushima Ansei's eyes were a little confused, and two lines of clear tears flowed down his cheeks.

·

That happened 24 years ago, and the memory is already a little blurred.

It was also during the Chinese New Year, and it was also such a big table. Fukushima's father, as the eldest son of the Fukushima family, held a New Year's Eve dinner at home. As the child born to his father's wife, he was only six years old, so he naturally had to attend. Fukushima still remembered that there was a pot of fragrant chicken on the table at that time. As the eldest son, he naturally had a chicken leg. Even if he snatched the chopsticks before his father and uncles, no one would punish him.

However, when he happily finished eating one chicken leg and wanted to get another one, he found that the chicken leg was in the hands of his half-sister brother.

"Give me the chicken legs." Fukushima Ansei stretched out his hand across the table and asked the half-brother for the chicken legs. The younger brother was probably only four years old. He blinked his tears and sniffed the chicken legs in his hand, reluctantly giving it to him.

"Forget it, An Chiyo," the younger brother's mother-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Xiao Qi has taken the chicken legs, so let him eat it."

"If An Chiyo still wants to eat, uncle will find someone to cook for you next time." Fukushima's father's younger brother, his uncle, also advised, "Let this be given to the little brother."

"Why do you care about me?" Fukushima Ansei put his hips on his hips and glared at his uncle. The uncle's face darkened. He naturally would not feel much better when he was so offended. However, Fukushima's father spoiled the child of his most beloved wife without saying anything, but just touched his head in a doting manner.

"Give me the chicken legs!" Fukushima Ansei still stretched out his hand and said fiercely in a tender voice: "Or otherwise there will be something good to you!"

"Why are you kid like this!" Another uncle couldn't stand it anymore, "How did your father teach you! Is it so rude?"

"What does it have to do with you? You should meddle in other people's business!" Fukushima Ansei saw that everyone was blaming him, and he pouted his mouth and became a little angry, "I just want to eat chicken legs! I don't care!"

"An Chiyo!" His illegitimate brother couldn't stand it and his mother-in-law brother was bullied like this, and said angrily: "Don't be big or small!"

"The second wife gave birth to a child! I don't have the right to care about me!" Fukushima Ansei cursed without hesitation. In fact, he didn't even understand what the second wife was. He just mentioned when he was talking to the maid: the second wife's status was much lower than that of his mother.

"You!" The concubine's brother was so angry that he couldn't speak. He trembled all over. He looked at the younger brother who was only as tall as the table, pointing at his nose and cursing himself.

"Sorry! I'm not happy about the master! I'm not good!" The second wife in Fukushima Anse's mouth immediately apologized, slapped his eldest son in the face. He snatched the chicken legs from his younger son and carefully put them on the arrogant Anse Fukushima plate. The younger son cried out.

"I won't disturb you much! Take your leave!" After doing these things, the second wife immediately pulled his two children out of the banquet. Before leaving, the eldest son of the second wife was so angry that he muttered loudly: "You are like this! No one will play with you in the future!"

"Who cares!" Fukushima Ansei whispered loudly while gnawing on the chicken legs he had been fighting for: "Who cares about you! Wherever you love!"

The banquet ended unhappily, and the uncles later lost contact with Ansei Fukushima's father. However, Ansei Fukushima didn't care, and didn't care whether those uncles and their children came to play with him.

Anyway, he is the boss at home.

"You have spoiled you, Ahn Chiyo," his mother complained one day, "You willful person, you have to fight for everything you encounter and don't let you go. What should you do in the future?"

"Mom, it doesn't matter," Fukushima Ansei said in a coquettish voice: "Anyway, my father and mother are the most despised me! They will come here to play with me sooner or later!"

"Then you will be unhappy if you do this. We should cherish the time we spend together." said the mother.

"Oh." Fukushima Ansei responded casually, "Let's talk about it next time."

I didn't want to do it but I got my word.

A few months later, the Hanakura Rebellion broke out, and the Fukushima family stood on the side of Kinhiro Ei. However, the Semaki family, Asahina family, Okabe family, and Hoshiguchi family later stood on the side of Meigao Seiyoshi. The Fukushima family was outnumbered and eventually died. Fukushima's father opened the city gate to the siege army to get the life of his family. However, unfortunately, because his son insisted on resisting, he killed a general of the Okabe family. The Okabe family was so angry that they caught all the brothers of Fukushima's sons and brothers, and only let Fukushima Aze and his parents go. All other male men in the Fukushima family were executed.

The young Fukushima Ansei was staying under a big tree by the execution ground at that time, watching his uncles and uncles, servants he usually called and drank at home, the concubine's brother who threatened to stop playing with him in the future, and the younger brother who was crying and wanted to eat chicken legs, were executed one by one. The familiar face fell off his limbs and rolled down to the ground hideously. Bright red blood spurted out from his neck, dyeing the soil under his feet red.

He hasn't saluted his uncles and uncles yet; he hasn't said thank you to the servants; he hasn't played with that brother again; he hasn't given his little brother a bite of chicken legs... He has so many things he hasn't had time to do with everyone...

Everyone is gone, nothing is left. Things that can be changed by a small move in the past are now out of reach. Why didn’t we cherish the time we spent together? Why didn’t we make them happy? Why should we fight and let our willfulness bring unhappiness to everyone? Until everyone is gone, we regret it alone under the tree.

Only by having it can you understand the pain of losing and the heart-wrenching pain.

What is immortal in the world?

At that moment, Fukushima Ansei grew up all of a sudden.

Cherish the present... Cherish everyone is still happy. When you are reunited, don’t fight or grab, just be happy. Don’t do anything that may make you regret after losing it.

Fukushima Ansei recovered from his energy, noticed his loss of composure, and hurriedly wiped his tears: "I'm fine."

"Look, if you don't give the big brother a chicken leg, you will make the big brother cry!" Omaezaki Nakahide quipped, "Brother, you can eat these chicken leg! For so many years, I have been cared for you!"

"No, I won't fight with you," Fukushima Ansei squeezed out a smile and stood up from the table. He turned around and walked to a tree outside the gate of Tianshou Pavilion, leaned against the tree, crossed the snowflakes in the sky, looked at the brothers who started fighting for chicken legs in the first floor of Tianshou Pavilion.

Over the past year, everyone has survived twice. When they meet on the banks of the river, they are in the city of Ma, and how many brothers have fallen down. We are also forced to separate from our family, endure the pain of lovesickness, and wander around the world with Your Highness. But now, everyone has survived and finally has a place to stay and reunite with their families. What else is there to be dissatisfied? What else is there to fight for?

He has no lofty ambitions or the pride of a warrior. His only dream is that every Chinese New Year, he can lean under a big tree and watch everyone be together happily.
