"Eh, dinner?" On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Ming was just about to go out for morning exercises, when an inner disciple came over and told him about the sect's dinner tonight.

"Yes, considering that there are many disciples in the sect who are stranded, there are also many disciples who are villagers of Wuhu Village themselves. Therefore, inside the door, every year in the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, there will be a dinner party on the first day of the new year. If conditions permit, the family members of the disciples will also be brought here, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for those disciples who have to stay because of the mission. The inner disciple replied.

Generally speaking, disciples who need to go home for the Chinese New Year have already gone back one after another at this moment. The ones who can still talk here are basically the ones who want to stay. The huge sect can't be in an open state because of the Chinese New Year, whether it's the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion or the Shennong Academy, in the end, it needs to be guarded and maintained by disciples. At the same time, the security problem of Wuhu Village itself also needs to be maintained.

With a deadline of three days, a group of disciples will be arranged to stay behind, and the inner disciple in front of him has taken over the task. Stay for three days, and then take over on the fourth day of junior high school, and then go back for the New Year. The first batch of disciples who went back for the New Year came back to take over and continue to guard the sect.

Xiao Yan and most of the elders lived in Wuhu Village, so considering the emotional problems of the stranded disciples, it was necessary to have a dinner!

You may not be related by blood, but with the master as a link, you can form a big family - the head of the family is the head, there are several masters below, and then there are uncles and aunts, as well as brothers and sisters.

"Then, what time does the dinner start?" Chen Ming heard this, and felt that he still had to participate in such a dinner. After all, it's too unsociable, and it's not quite like words.

"The Chinese New Year's Eve is faster, starting at four o'clock and ending at seven. Originally, it was a more formal banquet, but in the past two years, I have learned the 'buffet' model of foreign countries, and I am more free. As soon as the time comes, you can just take the vegetables and eat them directly when you go there, everything is casual, and when you meet acquaintances, you can find a table to chat a few words or something......" The inner disciple replied.

"Oh......" Chen Ming didn't know what a buffet was, and he suddenly became curious about this dinner.

During the morning exercise, I asked Yang Xiong, only to know that this guy's mother would also come over at that time. His three elder brothers are all disciples of other sects, and according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, if they want to come to the Five Tiger Sect, they can only go through the process of the rivers and lakes. The fourth sister is married, and she won't come.

A father will never miss a child as a mother, and knowing that Yang Xiong can't go back, his mother said that she wants to come over.

"I've already said that I don't need her ......to come," Yang Xiong had a helpless expression, but what his eyes revealed was joy from the heart.

Then he realized something and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry...... Didn't take into account your feelings......"

"Nothing, get used to it. Chen Ming shook his head, "I used to spend the New Year with Grandpa Xu, his son worked in the city, and it is said that he became an official, and he wanted to take him to live in the city several times, but Grandpa Xu refused." said that he grew up in the village, and this is his roots, so it's hard to leave...... When I grew up, I knew that he was actually just worried about me. ”

If you take him to the city, then it is estimated that he will be restrained, but if you don't take him, you can't leave him alone in the village. Come to think of it, this year, Grandpa Xu can also go to the city and reunite with his son, right?

"Anyway, it is said that there are no rules, you will eat when you arrive, and you and I will sit at the same table when the time comes, how about it?" Yang Xiong heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Chen Ming.

"Okay!" Chen Ming nodded, in fact, the one who was more familiar with the door was probably Yang Xiong.

The place for the dinner is on the side of the village assembly hall, which can accommodate a few hundred people for dinner. At the same time, it is also outside the core area, which can avoid a lot of trouble.

"Wow!" really came here, Chen Ming found that the dishes here were so rich. It can be said that there are those who fly in the sky, those who walk on the ground, and those who swim in the water. Not only that, but the number of various desserts and snacks is also very large, and he is dazzled.

For a while, I didn't know how to move, and the whole person was stunned.

"Isn't this Chen Ming?" A familiar voice came, Chen Ming subconsciously looked over, but saw Xiao Yi walking over with a plate of food, "Why are you stupid here, don't you eat something?"

"Can you eat anything here?" Chen Ming asked a little unconfidently, in his opinion, the things here are at least the standards that only the so-called three-star hotels have. No, maybe it's five stars! He may not know what a star is, but he can be sure that the more stars, the more advanced the better!

"After all, it's a buffet...... Xiao Yi pointed to the table next to him, "Take the plate there, and then find your favorite dish to clip, the dinner clip will be placed in front of each dish, and wait a little when others take it." Take as much as you eat, walk a few more times, don't be greedy and take a lot in one go, it's not good to finish eating, even if you finish eating, you can't taste other dishes, eat buffet, you want this attitude of slowness...... But it's only three hours. ”

Allocate your time wisely and eat the most food is the true meaning of the buffet. If you want to go out and turn left in a healthy way, since you have chosen the buffet, you have not considered the physical problem......

"Oh oh......" Chen Ming felt that this kind of dinner was so novel, the key was that he didn't need any social etiquette, and he didn't need more rigid table manners, which was too much to his liking.

Then he thought of a question and looked at Xiao Yi: "Senior brother, won't you go back?"

"Go back?" Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized something, and said with a smile, "I have been adopted by my father-in-law since I was a child, and I live in Wuhu Village like him, this is my home, where do I go back?"

So Senior Brother Xiao, like me, was originally an orphan...... Chen Ming nodded, no wonder the two fell in love. After thinking about it, he obediently apologized: "I'm sorry, I don't know ......"

"It's not something to be seen for. Xiao Yi smiled, "When I was twelve years old, I was adopted by my father-in-law, and it was a little late to get started, so my father-in-law funded me for a year of medicinal baths, and I became an outer disciple with my strength, and it took me another two years to become an inner disciple." Seriously, looking at the way you practiced and studied so hard, it was really similar to me at that time. ”

"Senior brother praised me too much, if I hadn't participated in that experiment...... Chen Ming was a little embarrassed, compared with Xiao Yi who spelled it out little by little, he was a bit of a shortcut.

"The medicinal bath configured by Tie Lao is special, ordinary people can't bear it, you and Yang Xiong can withstand it, this is also your ability. Those of us who practice martial arts are actually more concerned about attaining the first. If one day, your martial arts are above me, I will have to learn from you......" Xiao Yi said slowly.

In the past, people may have had to have face and reputation, so they would have some concerns, but in the past forty years, what has been instilled in Wuhumen is the principle that the achiever comes first. Learning from powerful warriors, no matter how much age difference there is, is not shameful!

After a pause, he looked at Chen Ming: "But before that...... Chen Ming, would you like to ...... Learn under my name?"

"Huh?" Chen Ming was a little uninaudible, no, mainly a little incredulous. The whole person was stunned and at a loss.
