Chapter 45: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner
Chinese New Year, reunion, joy, warmth, lively...... At this moment, the Chinese have given too much meaning to the New Year, and there is too much joy in the bloodline.
Although he can't be with his family this year, even if he is in the unfamiliar Yanjing City, the sufficient New Year's flavor still makes Yang Dongxu smile on his face.
The big rooster struggling with wings on the ground, the bone broth gurgling in the pot, the busy figure in front of the board, and the children chasing and beating in the alley at the door, everything seems to be so harmonious. Even Zhou Yiren, whose expression was becoming more and more serious and unsmiling, never disappeared from the smile on his face in the morning.
"Can't you go and help?" Yang Dongxu, who was squatting at the door and watching the children play and eat melon seeds, was slapped on the back of the head.
"Help, didn't they let you, a person who can't stay idle, come out?" Yang Dongxu moved to the side to make way for Old Man Xuan.
Today, the sun is shining on people's bodies lazily, but I don't know if Yang Dongxu is cheap. It always feels uncomfortable to lie on a rocking chair in the yard and bask in the sun, but when I come to the door, I squat like a turtle but feel comfortable.
"Where did you get so many strange words?" Old Man Xuan raised his hand and gave Yang Dongxu another slap.
Yang Dongxu has nothing to do because he is young, whether it is Wu Aibing's mother, Zhou Ya, or even the usual stern Zhou Yiren, they all let him eat while he doesn't need the help of Yang Dongxu, a little kid.
Old man Xuan has nothing to do, because he is old, although his body is very tough, compared to an old man in his fifties. But after all, he is the oldest in the family, so Zhou Yiren and his entourage naturally can't always watch an old man busy, right?
"You're eight years old this year, aren't you?" Old man Xuan glanced back at the room, and there seemed to be a smile in his wrinkles.
Although he is disgusted and old today, he is not allowed to do it, and he is not allowed to do it, but the old man Xuan is warm in his heart. The usually cold face smiled today, but he didn't have a good face for Yang Dongxu.
"If I am one year older than I will be a year old, I will be eight years old after 12 o'clock tonight, and if I count it as a few months after my birthday, what's wrong?" Yang Dongxu turned his head to look at Old Man Xuan, reached into his pocket and grabbed a handful of melon seeds for him.
Recently, Yang Dongxu has not had snacks in his pocket, whether it is in the courtyard or when he comes to the new house. I stuff my pockets in my pockets every day. Melon seed shells and peanut shells are flying in the alley.
Yang Dongxu littered? I'm sorry I didn't see where the garbage cans were in the whole alley? Although Zhou Ya still had to clean up the area that belonged to her yard in the alley, Yang Dongxu felt a lot more at ease than if she was left in the house or in the yard.
"You kid be a little restrained, if you dare to mess around on such a good day, see if I don't beat you to death. Old man Xuan glared at Yang Dongxu.
"Hey, I said Old Man Xuan, I didn't do anything naughty, right?" Yang Dongxu had a speechless expression.
"I want you to be as naughty as these fart kids, you are not a good person by nature, before you do anything in the future, think more about your family, and this hard-won good life. ”
Yang Dongxu moved to the side again, and decided to be a little better away from this old man who has become a god stick again, the bullshit must be blessed with a pearl hidden in his eyebrows, he had a mole in his eyebrows before he was reborn, isn't it that he has been a bachelor for more than 40 years and can't even marry a wife?
Now there is another eyebrow Yu hidden, this old man must have never seen a black man, and after a few years the country opens up and the black man comes to Yanjing City, according to his statement, all black people are Yintang black, there must be a disaster, if this statement is really true, the black man will die a long time ago.
"Old man Xuan, when will I be able to practice?" Yang Dongxu had a hopeful look in his eyes.
Since he bought New Year's goods two days ago, Yang Dongxu's eyes were hot when he saw Old Man Xuan's move like a rabbit catching thieves. Putting aside the matter of letting go of the magic stick, the old man in front of him still has a lot of real skills.
"First consolidate the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and then I will teach you to breathe, and then refine the body. Old man Xuan squatted next to Yang Dongxu and swallowed melon seeds, he didn't believe what Yang Dongxu said just now, he didn't care, anyway, he still had several years to live, as long as he was looking at this kid, it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Old man Xuan, are you bluffing me, don't those masters on the rivers and lakes always say that they practice martial arts at the age of three, and play with knives at the age of five, why do I always make medicine?" Yang Dongxu looked at Old Man Xuan with some disbelief.
Think about the famous pulpits in later generations, those high-level masters in movies and TV series who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and I can't wait to say that even the innate qi in the womb of the mother is better than cultivating immortals.
Yang Dongxu felt that Old Man Xuan didn't know that it was a bit unreliable for him to refine his body in the Year of the Monkey. After all, let's not talk about those messy things, the younger the age, the stronger the plasticity, which is definitely based on science.
"Bullshit, three-year-old martial arts, five-year-old sword-tricker, you're not a dead soldier, you need to start squeezing your body from a young age. If you really want to practice, you can succeed, if you don't grow tall in the future, you will start to get rid of your soreness after fifty, and you will be chopped off with hatred, don't blame me. ”
Yang Dongxu carefully looked at every expression on Old Man Xuan's face, and found that he didn't seem to be joking, so he sighed: "Okay then." ”
At what age can he practice martial arts Yang Dongxu really doesn't know, after all, he didn't experience this before he was reborn. However, for a seven or eight-year-old child, he still understands that training a body of muscles affects his growth.
Before his rebirth, Yang Dongxu's height was 175, which is indeed not short in his generation. But after 2000, it was not enough to see the tall man who was more than 1.8 meters tall at every turn, so he still wanted to make his height go up.
Not to mention anything else, when I was in junior high school or high school, I was able to play basketball, and my height definitely had an advantage. Thinking about the three-step layup, or even a direct slam dunk Yang Dongxu was a little excited in his heart, the nirvana of flirting with the girl to play handsome, this must be there.
Seeing that Yang Dongxu was no longer entangled in when he could practice martial arts, Old Man Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, you can practice martial arts, and many martial arts masters have started to lay the foundation since childhood, which is also a fact.
But Yang Dongxu's eyebrows are not funny, and he doesn't let Yang Dongxu practice martial arts early because he is afraid that he will be young and vigorous. There is a secret recipe for nourishment, and when you have the foundation, you can breathe in the inner cultivation, and then learn some fierce moves.
This is Old Man Xuan's plan for Yang Dongxu to practice martial arts, according to his idea, if he can drag Yang Dongxu to marry a wife and have children. At that time, the temperament can also be stabilized, so that if you have martial arts, you will not be brave and ruthless.
At the same time, meditation and exhalation can also reduce the impetuousness of some young people, so it is a two-pronged approach. can eliminate a little bit of Yang Dongxu's evil in his heart.
Yang Dongxu, who thinks what Old Man Xuan thinks in his heart, doesn't know, but he doesn't really want to practice martial arts, and the reason why he wants to practice martial arts is just to be handsome. As a person who has come over, he knows very well that no matter how high his kung fu is, he is afraid of kitchen knives, not to mention that watermelon knives fly around in later generations.
So think about it, if you want to become a master, you need to practice Sanjiu in winter, practice Sanfu in summer or something, he doesn't have that perseverance at all. Therefore, he never thought about becoming a master.
What he wants is for older kids to bully him at school, and he will be able to do it with both hands. When I grew up shopping with my girlfriend, I met a few little hooligans who whistled to my girlfriend and killed them all with three punches and two kicks.
Then his girlfriend's eyes are full of little stars, and then he gives himself a hot kiss, which makes people drool just thinking about it. As for security, if you have money, are you afraid that you won't have a bodyguard? Walking in front of me, followed by a bodyguard wearing sunglasses and a suit, it's ......
There is firewood burning under the pot, and there are various dishes on the side of the pot that is wider than the ordinary pot table, and the rich meaty aroma of the pot lid is lifted, and the potstickers next to it are also cooked, and the small door is closed, and the room is warm, and everyone takes off their coats.
Ground pot chicken, authentic ground pot chicken, a big rooster that eats food and insects, with the bean paste of the secret recipe of the old man Xuan, with the smell of meat, the taste of the potstickers that are a little burnt behind it is simply beautiful.
"You kid is the most attentive to eating. Two days ago, he angrily reprimanded Yang Dongxu for opening a hole in the wall of the wing room and making a stove for Zhou Yiren, who was just messing around, with a smile on his face at this time, although his tone was blaming, he couldn't hide the love in his eyes when he looked at Yang Dongxu.
"Let's eat hot pot in two days, it's always so unpleasant to put a copper pot on the coal stove, it's good to use this. Next to him drank a sip of wine and ate a mouthful of meat, from time to time brushed his mustache and often looked at Yang Dongxu's unpleasant old man, for the first time praised Yang Dongxu for the things he made up.
"Yes, yes. Yang Dongxu raised his hands in approval, he has eaten combustible ice boiled hot pot, and he has also eaten induction cooker, or hot pot cooked by a gas stove, and he really hasn't tried hot pot in a pot full of expectations.
"You know how to eat. Zhou Yiren glanced at Yang Dongxu.
"Come to Xuanye, I will toast you, thank you for taking care of me these days. Wu Aibing picked up his wine glass and stood up.
Old man Xuan nodded with a smile on his face, and touched Wu Aibing.
Then Wu Aibing toasted Zhou Yiren again, then his mother, Zhou Ya, and finally even Yang Dongxu was not missing. Seeing that Wu Aibing knew the rules so well, Yang Dongxu didn't care about anything, and his mouth was full of oil, Zhou Yiren's eyes of hatred of iron and steel poked directly at his head.
Regarding the rules of toasting elders at the wine table, Yang Dongxu naturally knew it in his heart. At this time, I can't help but complain a little in my heart, don't you all want me to be an honest little brat? I'm a little fart kid who only eats now, and I'm dissatisfied with this and unhappy.
Not only do you want me to be talented in the future, but you also want to discipline me strictly and not wear out my nature, like a golden hoop stick, I want to be big and small. Such a request is a bit unreasonable!
