When I was a teenager Chapter 8 Warmth

Previous Chapter

Wangjing Murong Mansion, in the hall where guests are rarely usually visited, welcomed a group of people with the highest status in Aoki Country on Chinese New Year's Eve. After several princes were hidden by the old man, the younger girl, who was only eleven or twelve years old, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the princess of a country, and because she is a young child, she is usually favored by everyone, and it is rare to salute others, let alone a big gift. So she didn't resist at all and stood up, but strangely, his three brothers forcibly knelt down despite the old man's obstacles.

The little princess, who knew her brother's character, didn't understand why her brothers, who had always been arrogant, insisted on making such a big gift to the old man in front of her. She looked at her father who sat down first, and her mother, who was standing behind the old man, and didn't know what to do.

"Give the old man a New Year's greeting, and wish the old man a blessing like the East China Sea, and a long life and the sky. ”

The three princes who knelt down said their greetings in unison with sincere eyes. The little princess who heard the blessings covered her mouth in surprise, the blessings of the three royal brothers were once again beyond her imagination, in her heart, it was a bit too much to say this kind of thing in front of her father.

But when she looked at her father, the majestic man smiled with satisfaction, as if he did not care that his sons had transgressed the old man, and was very pleased.

The old man Murong, who was enjoying the massage, couldn't sit still, glared at the emperor beside him, hurriedly stood up, walked to the three princes, muttered on his lips, and helped them up one by one.

The three princes who just stood up, after getting up, there was no pretentiousness in their eyes, and they chatted with the old man respectfully, and then silently stepped aside, staring at the old man with adoring eyes.

"You, you still don't care about it, when the court meeting starts, there will be officials looking for trouble for you. ”

Old man Murong turned around, looked helplessly at the man who was quietly drinking tea, and said softly. But hearing the old man's words, the majestic man just laughed softly: "If you don't worry, you should find something for them to do, besides, the younger generations give the elders a New Year's greeting, why should they pick thorns." ”

The dignified woman on the side glanced at her husband, who was acting frivolously at this time, but did not say anything, after all, as the head of a country, Li Er, he would only behave so childishly in front of the old man.

She walked slowly to the old man, helped the old man to the chair again, and looked at the only remaining person in the living room familiarly: "Uncle Liu, our family, but we came to eat Chinese New Year's Eve, why, do you plan to let us drink tea and eat snacks?"

Uncle Liu, who was watching his nose and nose, also pretended not to see the scene just now, and bowed to the woman at this time: "Please wait a while, the meal will be prepared immediately." Then, the old man of Murong Mansion, known as Uncle Liu, turned around and left directly and went to the restaurant to prepare.

Seeing that the old man and her husband were chatting happily, the woman gently walked to the girl who had been supporting the old man, and then took out a hosta from her arms and put it in the palm of her hand: "Lele, this is a gift that your aunt prepared for you, do you like it?"

The only girl in the three generations of Murong Mansion, Murong Le looked at the hairpin that looked perfectly carved as a whole, and replied with joy: "I like it." ”

"Hehe, just like it. ”

Seeing Murong Le's expression, Li Er, who was sitting on the side, also nodded with satisfaction when he saw this, and then also took out a big red envelope from his arms and stuffed it into her hand: "What about your uncle, after all, he is a man, so he doesn't know much about jewelry, so he wrapped a big red envelope for you, don't dislike it." ”

A few juniors standing in the hall, especially Li Er's children, looked at the red envelope in surprise at the moment that one hand couldn't even hold, and said in their hearts: "This is too thick." ”

Murong Le was not polite, and directly accepted the big red envelope, while Li Er smiled with satisfaction, and then touched Murong Le's head. Just when everyone thought he was going back to his seat, he didn't know where to take out a red envelope that was thicker than just now, and his majestic face was full of a smile at the moment: "Old man, for you." ”

Looking at Li Er, who had never disappointed himself since the first day he became his student, the old man covered his forehead speechlessly: "They are all emperors, and they are so noisy." ”

Li Er gestured to his wife for help with his eyes, and the woman hurriedly said to the old man: "This is also a piece of my heart, you won't refuse for the New Year!"

Old Man Murong looked at the woman who was shaking his arm, and he never couldn't stand her coquettishness: "Okay, I'll take it." ”

Giving out red envelopes during the New Year has always been just an auspicious picture, how can anyone be like this man, so upright, I can't wait to make the red envelope bigger than the house. The purpose of giving it to children is to let them grow up slowly, enjoy their childhood, and be pressed. And to the elderly, it is to press the age and let them grow old slowly, the slower the better.

The juniors were surprised by the thickness of the red envelope for a while, but after all, they were all people who were not short of money, so they quickly returned to normal. Except for the little princess who was still unrelieved, the rest of the people chatted around the old man.

When Uncle Liu came in again, the three princes were taking advantage of the rare opportunity to rush to ask questions to the old man. Seeing this scene similar to the one in his memory, Uncle Liu wiped his nose, smiled, and then shouted at the people chatting in the room, "It's time to eat." ”

The three princes, who were about to ask questions, could only stop asking questions in a relaxed manner, and the old man looked at the three princes with satisfaction: "Don't worry, let's go to dinner first, you can come to me alone these days, and I will solve your doubts one by one." ”

The three princes looked at the old man excitedly, then nodded excitedly, and then, a group of people surrounded the old man and walked towards the restaurant.

At this moment in Los Angeles, Su Yi quickly woke up from pretending to be drunk after his friends left, and then began to clean up the yard, and finally restored the house to its original state before Xue Qingge and the four of them returned to their small courtyard.

Before she stepped into the far gate, Xue Qingge and a few people smelled the strong smell of wine, and she was a little worried, so she walked a few steps quickly, saw Su Yi, who was in good shape, approached and pointed at Su Yi's head with her finger: "You guys are fat, you dare to drink spirits." ”

Su Yi saw the familiar face, and then glanced at Xu Yan'an, who was holding her sister behind her, and Xu Yiheng, who came back honestly despite the dissatisfaction on his face, and grinned: "I'm back." ”

Two places thousands of miles apart started their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner relatively late, but they exuded the same warm taste.

And in this world, the Chinese New Year's Eve meal that belongs to Su Yi alone is dumplings. Once, under Su Yi's strong recommendation, Xue Qingge added it to their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but from that time on, dumplings have also become an indispensable part of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

Just as he was contentedly sandwiching a dumpling and was about to put it in his mouth, Su Yi suddenly felt something and secretly glanced at his sister who was sitting next to him. Seizing the moment when Xu Chuen stood up and picked up the vegetables, Su Yi used his fastest speed to put the dumplings he had just sandwiched into his sister's bowl.

Only my sister didn't notice these at the dinner table, Xu Chuen took a bite of the dumplings placed on the top, and then his face was happy, and he cheered: "Ah, I'm lucky again." ”

The remaining four people hurriedly pretended to be surprised, especially Su Yi, who moved his hands and feet, hugged his sister in surprise and took a bite: "It's worthy of my sister, it's really the luckiest." ”

Xue Qingge looked at the scene in front of her, a smile that couldn't be concealed from the corners of her eyes, and then gently shook her husband's hand: "I'm sorry." ”

Xu Yan'an looked at his wife dotingly, pointed to the three children on the side, and said in a magnetic voice: "Why do you say sorry, I am so lucky to have you and them." ”

Xu Yan'an, who was moved by Xue Qingge one second, smiled the next second, rubbed his hands and continued: "If you really feel sorry, do you want to consider raising some of my pocket money." ”

“。。。 ”

Wangjing, Li Er's face turned red from drinking, and he was gently supported by his wife, who was the queen, and walked out of Murong Mansion with satisfaction, silently following the prince behind him.

Leaving her husband to the guards who had been waiting outside the palace, and instructing the princes to take care of their drunken father, she took the princess into another carriage. As soon as she got into the carriage, she had been very gentle, and the dignified woman showed her momentum after being a country, and said to her daughter: "You have disappointed me and your father today. ”

Hearing his mother's words, Li Annuo was very flustered, although they were in the royal family, but his mother never let himself call himself father in private, not his father. Li Annuo asked puzzledly: "Mother, our family is the master of a country, why should my brother and I salute him." ”

"Him?"

"Old man Murong. ”

Seeing Li Annuo, who hurriedly changed his words, Queen Tang Yinan sat on the side of the carriage and sighed, after all, her daughter is young and has not experienced the events of the year, so it is inevitable that she will not understand why she and others respect the old man so much.

She looked at her puzzled daughter, beckoned her to come closer, and held her somewhat nervous fingers: "Although the Li family is the owner of Aoki, you have to be clear that in fact, the real pillar of Aoki in the past few decades is the old man. And your father respects the old man very much, and in front of him, your father will never regard himself as an emperor. ”

"Moreover, our Li family, we can always trust the teacher, your brothers, they did not perform this great gift because of your father, it was their respectful behavior from the bottom of their hearts. ”

Hearing this, Li Annuo was still very puzzled, and continued to ask: "Could it be that Old Man Murong has more power than his father?"

Considering Li Annuo's age, Tang Yinan explained: "You must know that back then, it was the teacher who brought your father to that chair with his own hands. You don't need to know what happened back then, you just need to know that in front of the old man, you just need to maintain enough respect. ”

Li Annuo, who was at a curious age, still didn't give up: "Then my brothers, who will be the emperor in the future, is it also the old man who has the final say?"

A topic that the normal royal family avoids is asked by a little girl at this moment, and Tang Yinan was not particularly shocked, and replied lightly: "If the old man is willing to speak, of course it is what he says." Don't you wonder why only your eldest brother and second brother are fighting for that position now, and the competition is in full swing, but the rest of the princes don't dare to take the opportunity to intervene?"

I don't know how many times Li Annuo, who was shocked tonight, looked at his mother with a calm face, Tang Yinan said calmly: "Because, the old man doesn't look down on them, so there is no need for them to fight!"

If Murong Mansion is the pinnacle of power in Wangjing, then it is Luofu who stands at the pinnacle of wealth, and the middle-aged man who is known as the richest man in Aoki at this moment touched his head, which was becoming more and more bald, looked at the young man in white on the side and said: "That kid Su Yi has also decided to participate in the martial arts, which means that there are not many places left." Son, do you want your father to throw some money at you and buy some top-notch equipment?"

The white-clothed young man, who had a delicate face but now had a sad face, glanced at his father: "You have thought of it, can I not think of it? I have already spent tens of millions of dollars to go out, and now, I can only pray for a good lot." ”

So, as the richest father and son in Aoki Country, on the first day of the New Year, they both started to worry about the number of places to participate in the martial arts.

Even Wangjing, as the capital of the country, is not all powerful, in a small house close to the south city gate, a young man with outstanding height is cleaning up the table. He helped his mother, who was a little tired, into the room, took over the work at hand, and scrubbed it quickly. By the time he was done, the sky was already slightly bright, and he was not ready to sleep, so he picked up the halberd standing in the courtyard and ran out of the city in a vigorous posture.

In the eastern suburbs of Wangjing, a huge stone tablet is here, which occupies the size of a house, and from a distance, I see four big characters engraved on it of Wangjing Academy.

It was the Chinese New Year, and there should be no one in the academy at this moment, but in a dormitory area inside, there was a faint light. A burly man stood in front of the door, waving his fist forward, and with each punch, there was a sonic boom.

Yu Duo's name is often pronounced as ridicule in reverse, but judging from his real situation, the word redundant is indeed vividly reflected in his body. At this time, the students should all return to their homes and spend the New Year with their families, and he is the only one who stays in the academy.

Although Yu Duo is burly and has strong fist intent, and can even rank in the forefront of Su Yi's session, his family deeply feels that he is a superfluous person. Yu Duo was born in a general's family, and he was the eldest son, and he was valued by his family at first, but everything changed after he could speak.

Yu Duo's voice is naturally very girly, and the older he gets, the more feminine his actions occasionally appear, which makes his family unacceptable, and even his parents feel very ashamed, no longer care about him, and begin to snub him.

So, after Yu Duo's younger brother was born, he completely became a transparent figure in the family. After a dispute with his younger brother, after seeing that all the elders defended their younger brother and blamed themselves for whatever reason, Yu Duo was deeply aware of his situation and completely broke with his family, freeing his family and himself.

It's just that Yu Duo's talent is not bad, in Su Yi's words, he just uses the most motherly voice to hit the most rigid punch. So he was discovered by Wangjing School and accepted as a student, and later met his peers Su Yi and others, and found his own small circle.

After all, he is still a child, and deep in Yu Duo's heart, he still wants his family to admit him. He set his sights on Dabi, who was in the limelight half a year later, so he came here to practice boxing at the moment when others were reunited, intending to prove himself to his family.
