"Brother Chen, I'm having some problems with my cultivation now, why don't the two of us learn from each other, and you're an old-timer and point me out?" As soon as Chen Lin's ridiculous words came out, Cao Ying immediately blushed. Quite embarrassed to say: "I'll go and ask my mother to prepare more meals, and by the way, clean up the place where Brother Chen lives." ”

In this era, it is already a very rude thing for a girl who has not left the cabinet to show up. What's more, Cao Ying is not just showing up, she is still in the barracks, and she met her current nominal husband at that time. How could Chen Lin's ridiculous words not make her blush?

You said that if Chen Lin honestly said a word about his younger siblings, or honestly, Miss Cao is good! Li Xie also decided that it was impossible for him to make such a request when he first came to his house.

Chen Lin didn't think that Li Xie could beat him, but An Xiao once asserted that although this little prince had great strength, when facing the qi person, he would naturally be lowered by such a grade, and he would be restrained by qi everywhere.

"No problem, let's go, let's find an open place." Chen Lin only subconsciously thought that Li Xie was going to accumulate combat experience, after all, this time is different from the past, Li Xie's dantian has been abolished, and all combat experience has to be re-learned, and it is of course a good thing to be able to fight with one more person at this time.

"Then it's hard Brother Chen." Li Xie said politely, and the two of them came to the relatively open area outside the courtyard.

Unfolded the stance, and the two of them exchanged hands when they went back and forth. Chen Lin is worthy of being a veteran master, and between shots, the use of qi is always wonderful. Although it can be seen that he is still far from the realm of the grandmaster at this time, his control of his own strength can be said to have reached the peak.

Chen Lin was different from everyone Li Xie had met before. Cao Ying's bias is soft, her combat moves are brave and fast, but her qi is unusually soft and continuous, so her combat effectiveness is particularly long-lasting.

Whether it is the fighting moves or his qi, Jue Yan is on a fierce path, so when he fights, what he pays attention to is that he is like the wind and fire, one move is stronger than one move, and one move is stronger than another.

If Chen Lin had to compare, it could only be said that his use of qi was unprecedented and sophisticated. The qi brought by one move and one style is like a needle, so sharp and so condensed.

But unlike the sharpness brought by the sword qi, his sharpness is more like the tip of the wheat, without the slightest smoke and fireworks, as if that is an attribute of his qi.

However, Li Xie is also different from the past, if the previous dantian had not been abolished, in the face of Chen Lin, Li Xie would still be restrained. But at this time, he already has a deeper understanding of Tai Chi, although the dantian has been abolished, and there is no trace of qi stored in the body, but, relying on the power of nature's real-time operation of qi, in fact, he is still a few points stronger than when the dantian was not abolished.

Moreover, after having a deeper understanding of Taijiquan, at this time, his whole person was a ball of cotton after Taijiquan. Chen Lin is a very sharp move, and he has a compelling edge.

But in front of Li Xie's lump of cotton, there is no use. Li Xie did not change his fighting style at all and used his own strengths to counter Chen Lin's shortcomings, that is, the more moves he played, the slower he became, but the momentum condensed around him became more and more dignified.

After a moment and three moments, Chen Lin felt like he was drowning in water when he was walking beside Li Xie. Everywhere is resisted, everywhere is powerless, that is, the more you fight, the more aggrieved.

"Xiao Xie, what a good means. I'm afraid you can fight with the grandmaster now, right?! After Chen Lin found an opportunity to jump out, he left the range surrounded by Li Xie's momentum. Then I asked that, but although it seemed to be asking, it gave a positive tone.

There is no doubt that Chen Lin stays by Li Zhanji's side all the year round, and An Xiao also guards Li Zhanji's side all the year round, so in disguise it is equivalent to Chen Lin following the grandmaster's side for a long time, so his understanding of the grandmaster is far better than ordinary people.

When he fought against Li Xie, he gave Chen Lin the feeling that Li Xie might be able to play with An Xiaoyi for a long time. Of course, this is just speculation, you know, An Xiao is not a mediocre person among the grandmasters.

After all, it has been trained by an old madman for many years, and no matter how bad it is, it is not much worse.

"Brother Chen, Miao saved. It's still far from it. "There's a good saying that it's only when you've started a technology that you really realize your shortcomings.

After Li Xie had his current comprehension of Taijiquan, he really realized that his understanding of this set of boxing methods was far from enough.

If you say that after fully understanding this artistic conception, you are an adult, then with Li Xie's current realm, she is still just a three-year-old child who is learning to speak.

This breath also came out, and the time was almost up, Li Xie took Chen Lin to the dining hall, and after introducing everyone one by one, Li Gui warmly entertained him.

At night, Chen Lin did not take advantage of the situation. It's always uncomfortable to send someone under the fence, and besides, Li Xie's identity, even if Li Xie didn't hold it when the two were talking, Chen Lin didn't care much about it, but after all, it was there.

If the two of them live under the same roof, it will always be uncomfortable.

This is also because Chen Lin has been an official for many years after all, and he is also a celebrity around the emperor, and he has taken a lot of offerings, so there is really no shortage of three melons and two dates, so he simply rented a long-term house in the inn not far from Li Xie's house and lived in it.

In this way, you can not only follow Li Xie's side in real time, but also have your own personal space, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.

Li Xie didn't say anything about this, let alone keep it much, because he knew that people like Chen Lin, who worked in the dark all year round and didn't talk to people all year round, were mostly withdrawn. As a withdrawn person, Li Xie understands very well what is going on in the hearts of withdrawn people.

Therefore, Li Xie knows very well that if he insists on keeping Chen Lin and living in his own home, Chen Lin will be even more uncomfortable. In that case, it is better to let him be free and let him find a space to stay on his own.

People pass slowly, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the end of the year. New Year's three nights and four days, grab them casually, cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs, bite them casually. It is said that these poor people, whenever they reach the end of the year, it is a rare time of the year when they can have a full meal.

Once you enter Laba, there will always be some oil and meat on the table, Li Xie's family is now rich, which person is terrible, after Laba, there is almost nothing else on the table. All the first-class water is meat, chicken, duck, fish, it can only be regarded as very ordinary.

The really expensive ones are those bears and tigers! It is relatively rare for ordinary people to do so.

Such a gluttonous meal has been eaten until the New Year, and then there will be a very strange situation, I want to eat a meal of meat on weekdays, I think about it, and then I can't eat these things when it comes to the New Year.

There are no greens in the north, and cabbage is one of the few greens that can be stored, and it is also the most eaten in ordinary people's homes.

So when eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, there was no one moving on this large table, but the large plate of cabbage was eaten.

Chinese New Year is a big festival, only once a year, so the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly important. It's unreasonable not to drink a little wine, three big men in a family, and in the end, two of them got drunk.

Li Xie is considered to be a better drinker, and after getting drunk, he went directly to the table and fell asleep. It is impossible to be a teenager, and when I wake up, it is already the third day of the next day.

Firecrackers don't seem to have appeared yet, at this time, when people celebrate the first day of the New Year, they are all at home to coax children, chat or something, there is nothing particularly grand to do.

Cao Ying went to her parents-in-law early in the morning to say goodbye, but she didn't come back after the installation, and chatted with her sister-in-law and mother-in-law directly there.

Of course, it was impossible for Li Xie to get close to the women's pile and chat with them. It is definitely impossible for the first day of the Lunar New Year to be so diligent and still practice boxing there. So early in the morning he started his own business.

There are no firecrackers, but there are still a lot of things to make firecrackers. In the past, when the family was not rich, Li Xie did it twice, not to mention that now the family has money.

The small firecrackers are too time-consuming to make, so he simply made a bamboo cannon, and after using a bamboo tube, he stuffed the gunpowder into it after a random proportion, made a little lead, and then stuffed the lid like that, and a bamboo cannon was done.

In the past, when Li Xie was making this thing, Li Gui would say a few words about the loser, but now there is no shortage of these in the family, but he also followed the interest and made a joy with Li Xie.

After Li Gui came for a while, Li Tong followed suit. So the three big men of the family gathered together and made more than ten bamboo cannons. I took a fire fold and put it in the courtyard in high spirits.

Bamboo cannons are not as loud as bombs, but they are not very powerful, and the reason for this is that the ratio of gunpowder is not quite correct. But even if it is not powerful, this momentum is extremely terrifying, let alone in this courtyard surrounded by four walls.

One after another, the echo is really numb in the ears of the earners. But for the New Year, there is nothing to do, isn't it just a lively? Besides, as a gentleman, the desire to destroy seems to be an innate instinct.

So even though their ears were numb, the three old men laughed unusually happily. Such a loud noise came out of the courtyard, Cao Ying, of course, it was impossible for them not to notice it.

At first, Yixue also explained to Ma Guihua and Cao Ying, who had never seen this battle:

"That stinky boy made up a little gadget by himself, don't look at the loud and scary. Actually, it's not very powerful, and the first time I got this thing, the stinky boy just let it explode in his own hands, which scared me. Fortunately, he was not injured, otherwise he would have to make his ass bloom! ”

Yixue watched happily from the sidelines, and the family chatted happily. But the people outside were really taken aback.

More than a dozen loud noises came from one place, and immediately startled the people who lived around. However, because of the blocking of the layers of walls, the sound that came out was not very loud, and the sound of bamboo poles hitting stones was the top of the sky.

Li Gui's family is new to moving in, and the people who live around still think that this family has any special customs? On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when I started to walk around the streets, everyone who came to visit asked about yesterday's events.

And at this time, Li Gui often laughed and said a word, not that he didn't want to show off, but he didn't understand the principle of making this thing at all. Yes, it's just a matter of pouring the black stuff into the bamboo jar and inserting a primer, that's all.

So after saying it, I was asked about it, and I couldn't answer a word, and I was full of ugliness, so it was better to smile slightly, take a word, and not say anything.

From the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is time to go back to her parents' home, and Yixue's parents have already left. After all, she is not too young, and she is the youngest in the family. The death of parents in their 60s is not unacceptable.

And the brothers and sisters in the family, at home, after the death of their parents, they went away for two years, and they felt that it was not interesting, so they gradually lost their contacts. So the matter of going back to her parents' house has nothing to do with Yixue.

In previous years, there was no one to move around at home, and most of the relatives and friends I knew were from the same village. There is no need to pay a serious visit.

Besides, in terms of the economic conditions in the small village, if you go to someone's house to eat, I am afraid that it will add a lot of burden to others. In the long run, I won't say anything, but it's certainly disgusting.

So in previous years, at this time, most of the family was sitting in the room bored, talking about what you said and what I said.

However, this year seems to be a little different, and it is not without relatives who are leaving. Ma Guihua's house, you can still go and walk around.

After all, it is the father-in-law and mother-in-law, and it is the second year that someone has been married. It is still very necessary to go to someone's house.

Anyway, Yixue and his wife have made up their minds to leave. Cao Ying and Li Xie had nothing to do when they were idle, and they stayed at home, so they also went along.

When a large family comes to visit, eats and drinks other people's food, I am afraid that it will add a lot of burden to others. No one is rich in these years, of course, it's about the people in this small county.

After the group came to his house, Ma Guihua's parents entertained him very warmly. However, the elder brother in this young life seems to be a little embarrassed.

Entertain a few more guests, stay there for two more days, and maybe you will eat up Ao Dong's winter food after the New Year. Yixue manages a small family, and she understands these truths for decades. So in order not to increase the burden on them, my family has money this year. Yi Xuena wrapped two big red envelopes and gave them to her parents-in-law. Then Li Xie was not stingy and wrapped a big red envelope for each of the children in the family.

This can be regarded as a complete recovery of the family's losses, and Ma Guihua's brothers have also changed from being slightly embarrassed before to now really smiling.

The second day of the Lunar New Year passed quietly when I was leaving relatives, and there was nothing to do in the following days, until the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Li Gui gathered a large family, then hired two carriages, and went all the way back to the village.

Every year on the tenth day of the new year, but it is a big festival in the village, and there are children born in the family, and there are newly married and married wives. On the tenth day of the first year of this year, the whole village is invited to eat.

The head of the village also recorded the names of the children born and the names of the newlyweds on the family tree on this day.

In addition, it is necessary to worship the ancestors, the ancestral hall in the village is not big, but it is perennial incense. In many cases, there are even people in the village who can't eat, but there are always tributes in the ancestral hall. This tradition has continued since Lee Xie first remembered.

One of the most impressive things in my memory is the year when Li Xie first came to the village. You didn't have any preparations, but you were still asked for tribute by the village. After the tribute, there was no surplus food in the house, but the custom caused all the people in the village to come to the house again, which was to eat and take.

Although they didn't take anything valuable, they were just some nuts, melons, fruits, and other small snacks. But these things are all in exchange for food.

Yixue hugged Li Xie and stood at the door of the small hut. With a smile on his face, he watched happily. It was when the excitement of the day passed, but the family was hungry for three days.

In the end, he was really hungry and couldn't stand it, so he borrowed some food from a neighbor, and after Li Gui filled his stomach, he braved the heavy snow and went into the mountains, and brought back a pheasant and two hares after a day and a night.

The family relied on this thing to pass five days. In the days after the sky was the matchmaker, Jue Yan recovered his senses, and he would send some prey over in three days. A large family has just passed that winter.

It is precisely because of this experience that Li Xie is not very friendly to the people in that village. At the same time, I will be so disgusted with these customs.

People are still hungry, but they still have to make offerings to their ancestors. Of course, there is nothing wrong with making offerings, but why do you insist on asking for anything?

Why can't I take the tribute home after worshipping?
