The Li family in Huangniping belongs to the smallest family with a small surname in Yinzitan Village, and the grandfather and grandmother escaped from Xiushui to avoid the military disaster, and there are not many relatives in Yinzitan Village and even Chongxiang except for the maiden families of several aunts. It is precisely because there are few relatives that today Uncle Meng killed the New Year's pig, and the guests invited not only included the specially invited Principal Liu's family, Teacher Wang, Teacher Zhang, and Aunt Hongying's family, but also the father-in-law of Uncle Chuan and Uncle Chuanzong, as well as Li Jiaming's grandfather and grandmother.

Since the death of Li Jiaming's mother, the family no longer raises pigs, and buys dozens of catties of pork at Erber's during the Chinese New Year. The seven of their cousins have all grown up eating a handful of shredded potatoes together since childhood, except for the uncle who has a discordant relationship with these brothers and has a stingy family difficulty, the other families will kill pigs every year for the New Year, and will invite Li Jiaming's grandfather and grandmother over as their father-in-law and mother-in-law.

When a group of girls and sisters kicked the pig urine bubble, Aunt Hongying and the others also prepared a pig killing meal and invited the guests to eat in the ancestral hall.

Today is the New Year's Eve of pig slaughter, except for the Li Chuanlin brothers and Li Chuanmeng's eldest daughter who went out to work, there is one person surnamed Li in the entire house, and the three large round tables in the ancestral hall are full.

Li Jiaming, as in previous years, led the little sister and the full sister, and sat next to the second sister and the third sister who were also wearing new clothes. The top table is for guests and elders, and the second round table is for uncles, aunts, military brothers, and big dogs who can't sit at the main table; only this table belongs to children, including the eldest brother and second brother who are a few years older than the big dog, even if there are empty seats at the second table.

In previous years, everyone ate pig-killing rice, and the father-in-law or uncle of the main family, Li Jiaming's grandfather sat in the chief, and then the father-in-law and uncle of other uncles, and the remaining seats of the uncle could sit one, and the uncle could sit one, and then the father, and the three brothers represented the three heads of the house under the name of the prince. The rest, such as the second uncle and the ancestral uncle, have extra seats to sit, and those who don't have extra go to the second table, but the fourth brother can always sit at the end of the main table.

This year's situation is a bit special, Principal Liu and Teacher Wang came to sit in the two most honorable seats, Teacher Zhang and Li Jiaming's grandfather sat in the second seat, and then Uncle Chuanmeng's father-in-law and so on. As for Mrs. Chen and Teacher Zhong, they took Liu Shasha's goblin and sat at the second table with the second aunt. Rural people like to fight for face, and Mrs. Chen refused to sit at the first table and sat at the second table with her second aunt, just to save face for her little cousin back then, even with Teacher Zhong.

The three guests did not sit at the main table, it stands to reason that the second uncle and the ancestor should sit on them, but what Li Jiaming didn't expect was that Uncle Chuanzong came over to hold his head melon seeds, pushed from the third round table to the last seat on the main table, and sat next to the fourth brother.

Chinese people attach great importance to seating, and the countryside is no exception, Li Jiaming seemed to be burned by fire, and hurriedly refused: "Uncle Chuanzong, you should sit here!"

Uncle Chuanmeng's father-in-law was a thin and capable little old man, who was a little shorter when he sat next to his burly grandfather, but his voice was very loud: "Jiaming, let you sit down, you are the eldest grandson in the third room, and if you are not at home, you will have to hold the whole house! Besides, the Li family is the most competitive with you about Jiade, who will sit at this table if you and Jiade don't sit at this table? When there are no guests, you and Jiade can not sit at the table; if there are guests, you should sit at the main table!"

This voice is really loud, so big that the entire ancestral hall is silent, and it also makes the eldest brother and second brother who are crowded at the third table with Manmei red-faced. People are fighting for a breath of air, and the Buddha is fighting for a burner of incense, this is a slap in the face of the two of them! Isn't it just that they won the first place in the competition? In the first two times, they have not even won the top three in the whole township, so whether they will study or not will they talk about it in the future!

If you can go to college in the future, don't say it's your home, even if you go to the public house, you will be allowed to sit at the main table when you eat a guest meal! People fight for a breath, and the Buddha fights for a burner of incense, do you know?"

'Hey, hey, hey', the thin dog who was huddled with Mao Tong sat there and giggled, slapped on the back of his head by Mao Tong, and asked his cousin: "Brother Mao Yan, why are you beating me?"

"Stupid! Ah Gong wants you to be angry!"

"Oh", the thin dog scratched her head embarrassedly, and said loudly: "Grandpa, I don't want to sit at the main table in your room, it's better to eat with my cousin and them!"

Uncle Chuanmeng's eyes at the main table can kill, and the big dog who was proud of being able to sit at the second table just now is also so angry that his neck is thick.

If it weren't for the presence of a guest, the angry big dog wanted to press his brother to the ground and beat him. But Rao was like this, and the big dog still came over and kicked him.

It's a pity that the fine dog is really blind in this regard, and wonders: "Brother, what's wrong? This is not what I said, Jiaming and Teacher Wang went to the county as a guest, and when he came back, he told me: That Master Hu is a 'real celebrity and self-style', and he eats comfortably at his house." He also said, 'Eating is eating, and it is good to eat well, but it is necessary to have such rules that make everyone uncomfortable.' ‘”

'Huh', all eyes looked at Li Jiaming, who lowered his head and pretended to take care of the dishes and chopsticks, he didn't expect this fool to be so blind, and he didn't know what to say on any occasion.

Teacher Wang and Teacher Liu were also stunned, and Teacher Zhang couldn't breathe after a while.

"Hahahaha, a few grandfathers and uncles, don't you know, hahaha, Teacher Wang and Principal Liu used to be students of Director Hu of the Education Bureau. Hahaha, legend has it that in the year of the resumption of the college entrance examination, Mr. Wang was admitted to the normal school and Principal Liu was admitted to the teacher college, and Director Hu invited them to dinner, and they fought over a bowl of braised pork at the dinner table. ”

"Nonsense!"

Teacher Liu's face was calm, but Teacher Wang's face turned red, and then he explained to the people in the Manzu Hall who looked at each other: "Don't listen to Teacher Zhang's nonsense, in the teacher's room, which student dares to fight? I just grabbed a few more pieces of braised pork, and after eating, Liu Benqiu always laughed, and the two of them had a fight outside the school. ”

This version is more reasonable, but it also surprised the whole room, I didn't expect that Teacher Wang, who is usually scary, and Principal Liu, who is usually scary, were also so ridiculous when they were young. If it weren't for the fact that they were teachers, or teachers and principals who were full of girls in the room, everyone would have burst into laughter.

Mr. Liu is worthy of being Director Hu's protégé, and being stared at by everyone like this can also take the opportunity to encourage students and divert their attention.

"What's this, Jia Ming is right, only a great hero can be true to himself, and he is a true celebrity. It seems that you are self-taught, and you even know the famous sentences in "Caigen Tan".

In this way, in the second half of next year, you will be in the first year of junior high school, and your fourth brother has helped the school win glory before, and there is no competition in the third year of junior high school, and his task will be taken over by you. In the future, if you can't get back the first place in the first and second competitions, Chenglin, how will you be punished?"

The two of them are worthy of being old classmates, one just dug a pit, and the other pushed his students into the pit and helped hoe and bury the soil.

"Contracting the sanitation of the whole class, this guy cleaned the classroom for two weeks in a row from third to fourth grade. This year, I was ruthless, and warned him before the competition that if he didn't win the first place this time, he would be fined for at least a month, and as a result, I won the first place in the county. ”

Principal Liu happily slapped the table and directly assigned Li Jiaming to his class, "Okay, I will be your homeroom teacher next year!" You and Sasha both come to my class, if you two don't get the first place in the county, whoever will contract the classroom hygiene of the whole class for a month!"

However, I am not as domineering as Wang Chenglin, and I can give you the freedom to choose whether to accept or not. Jiaming, a manly man, do you dare to compare with Sasha?"

Li Jiaming, who was very happy to see the teacher's excitement just now, was shocked, isn't this a clear pit person?

It's good to say in the first year of junior high school, but what about the second year of junior high school? In three competitions other than the number of languages, at least English itself can't compare to the goblin in any way, people use English as a second mother tongue to talk, play, and swear!

This Principal Liu is even more ruthless than Teacher Wang, comparing himself with a little girl and forcing himself to jump into the pit. If you agree, even if you win, you have nothing to be proud of, not to mention that people are still a year and a half younger than you; if you don't agree, where will your face go in front of so many relatives?

But others don't see it that way, grandfather, uncle, Uncle Chuanmeng, and second uncle all stared at Li Jiaming eagerly, and even the uncle who has a lot of city government actually had a slight excitement on his face. Li Jiade can become the pride of the whole family, because since the third grade, all the competitions have won the first place in the county, so that the people of Yinzitan dare not underestimate the Li family of this small family.

Teacher Liu, who had diverted his attention, looked at this proud disciple of his future with a smile, waiting for him to express his position without being kind at all, and Teacher Wang was just as happy. As for their daughter (niece), that is a girl who does not admit defeat, as long as this guy agrees, she will bite the bullet even if she knows that she will lose.

In the past, Mr. Wang only regarded Li Jiaming as a sensible child, took him to the second county seat, and chatted with Director Hu and Mr. Liu, who were trained in human relations, only to know that this was a precocious and terrifying ghost. The last time he competed in the township, if his fourth brother hadn't told him something temporarily, the ghost would have known what tricks this kid would have played. 'It's a real celebrity and a gentleman', I'm afraid that today's high school students don't know that he, a twelve-year-old man, would actually take a serious look at the "Caigen Tan" he gave, how smart does this little guy have to be?

Seeing Li Jiaming's blushing face and hesitating to express his position, Mr. Wang smiled and poured wine for several grandfathers next to him, and quipped: "How are you thinking about it, classmate Li Jiaming? Your younger brothers and sisters are also here, you have to set an example for them, right? If you have confidence, you don't have to win, and if you don't have confidence, you must lose!"

Teacher Wang pinched Li Jiaming's life, and sat at the third table dressed in a foreign style but revealing a simple little sister, which was his weakness. After a struggle between pretending to be a 'genius' and being a mortal, the little sister's hopeful and expectant eyes finally made him grit his teeth and said, "Teacher Wang, Teacher Liu, I will do my best, do my best." ”

Teacher Liu took away the smile on his face, raised a glass full of wine to signal, and said word by word: "A gentleman's word"

Li Jiaming had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Whip the horse quickly." ”

"Good!"

Teacher Liu drank a full glass of liquor, and Li Jiaming turned his head and pulled his back, how sincere and sincere: "Fourth brother, you have to teach me more." ”

If the fourth brother can shield himself from the wind and rain, the pressure will be much less.

It's a pity that the fourth brother has the same idea as Mr. Wang, and he replied very unkindly.

"Have confidence, with your current level, you can get the first place tomorrow!"

Ahh
