Chapter Twenty-Seven: The New Year's Tea Party

"Uncles and aunts, as well as younger brothers and sisters, this time flies so fast, we have been here for less than four months, and we are about to celebrate the New Year, here, I will first wish my uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters a happy New Year." When the uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters all arrived and sat down, Yang Heng said this first.

"Okay, nephew, are we all a family, why do you talk so much?" "Uncles, have you ever thought that we are exactly five families, and we can just be used as a guarantee, my idea is that after the waterwheels add up in the coming year, you look at it if it is suitable, it is better to also bring down the less than 200 acres of barren land on the side, and you will all move here to build houses."

"Well, yes, how clean this place is, and besides, I think the land here is good, much better than the fields in the village." Before the uncles could speak, the aunt spoke first, Yang Heng found that recently, the aunt grabbed a handful of soil in his field every day, or looked around, with envy in her eyes, it seems that the aunt has long had this idea, which cannot but say that the aunt is from a family that is quite good at farming, even if she comes to the uncle's house, she can't do anything.

"Juanjuan, don't interject." Uncle is unhappy, isn't the aunt challenging his authority, these five brothers haven't spoken yet, how can it be the aunt's turn to interject.

"What's wrong with me interjecting, who of you four brothers has the vision of an uncle, look at the uncle who likes this place that no one wants, just look at the current construction, there will be a bumper harvest next year, and there are only many fields in our family, when I first married you, how good the matchmaker said, as soon as I came over, I will divide the family and pass it alone, what is the division of the family, is it to throw you out of the gang earlier, whether it is our family, or other uncles' families, there are only less than ten acres of land, if these fields are good, but this is still some sandy land, There are no crops growing in it at all, and the annual income is less than a load of grain, and if you almost can't even get the seeds back, now the uncle and nephew want to pull you along, what are you not willing to do. ”

"Okay, okay, Auntie, we're keeping the year now, so let's not talk about the superfluous." Yang Heng didn't look good, this was a New Year's Eve together, if he didn't speak again, it would become a grievance meeting.

"Let's keep the New Year, we can't be idle, uncles and aunts, you eat and drink first, come, brothers and sisters, now is the time for you to report, you come one by one, recite the thousand-character text I taught you, let's start with the biggest, come, Dandan, start with you."

As soon as they heard that the children were asked to recite a thousand-character text, the uncles and aunts didn't care about talking or eating, so they all sat up and listened to the children recite the text.

Yang Heng suddenly found that this is another place where he has failed, he has been here for so long, and he still let his uncles and aunts sit on their knees, today they removed the kang screen on the kang, and now they are all kneeling on the kang, and this place is hot, so they can't get any arthritis and other diseases.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate,...... Sitting on the court asked, hanging the arch and flat, it was over, and I carried it here. "Okay, okay, our son is just good, he can recite such a large section of poetry." Parents in this world are the same, and their sons are their own good, and this egg is just a little skilled in memorizing this thousand-word text.

"Lord, mother, brother, this is called a good back, he still carries it from my little mother, I taught him, let me carry it, the world is yellow, and the five continents are saffron,...... If you have any doubts, you can use it. "This is where Professor Yang Heng went.

"What do you little girl know, you haven't even spoken clearly, and you still learn to memorize poems, go and go, play while letting your other brothers continue to memorize." "Second uncle, what do you say, the thousand-character text of the rotten egg was taught to him by the little sister, you listen to me translate it for you,...... Save Gantang, go and benefit Yong, second uncle, how about it, we carry a lot more than rotten eggs. ”

"I, I, I will also memorize, the heaven and the earth are yellow...... "This is ugly, he can also keep up with the rhythm of the little lady, it seems that he is also at ease, it seems that this learning is related to age, not related to men and women, and several other children have also recited it, but it has never surpassed Xiao Niang's, they have not reached the progress that Xiao Niang has reached.

Yang Heng found that these children began to show their respective characteristics, maybe next, Yang Heng will teach them something according to their personal talents, and naturally this thousand-character essay will still be taught.

"Oh, if you want to say it's amazing, it's still the eldest nephew of the eldest brother's family, you see that these children are taught so well by the eldest nephew, you children have memorized it, if you have a future in the future, don't forget your brother." As they spoke, the uncles and aunts began to pat Yang Heng's sycophants, and they also knew that if their children could be promising, then they would definitely be taught by Yang Heng.

"Okay, uncles and aunts, don't talk about it, everyone is eating and drinking, and then I'll play a set of punches for everyone to make everyone happy." Playing boxing, Tai Chi, no, Baguazhang, no, five bird plays, still no, so what to play, naturally it is a popular boxing method, military boxing, or the first set, Yang Heng even forgot the name of the move at this time.

"Roar, roar, shout......" Why does it feel so awkward, it turns out that the space is too small, but in a place with a size of two square meters, how can you play a fist, after not playing a move, you have to adjust your body to the place where you will next punch, there is no coherence at all, that's it, uncles and aunts still shout good, however, they just watch some excitement, and Dad is thoughtful, it seems that Dad is really suitable for the military industry, maybe tomorrow Dad will learn this boxing method with Yang Heng.

Forget it, the boxing performance is not too successful, so next. "Niuzi, come, explain to my brother the crime of hanging the people, Zhou Fa Yin Tang." "Brother, this sentence is about the story of King Wudao of Shang, Ji of Xiqi who launched an army to defeat King Zhou and establish the Zhou Dynasty."

"Well, okay, Niuzi explained well, speaking of which, then today's uncles and aunts, I'll tell you a story." On this big night, there is nothing to do, Yang Heng naturally wants to find something to do, then tell the story, what can I say, Journey to the West, according to the story, it is a matter after Li Er became the emperor, naturally I can't say it, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, maybe only the father will be interested, recently, Yang Heng often hears some Jiang Ziya stories, so take the Romance of the Fengshen as an example, these stories are estimated to be liked by many people.

"Let's talk about the first time today, the story of the king Nuwa Gong who offended Nuwa Niangniang, the poem and cloud chaos at the beginning of the Pangu first, the Taiji two instruments and the four elephants hang, the sky is ugly and the people are out, and the beast is suffering from Chaoxian. …… Tianting Renxian is still the father, the flower note on the altar of the gods, the rank of the big and small heroes, and the ancient and modern legends of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. …… We need to know what happens next, and we'll talk about it next time. Unconsciously, everyone was fascinated by the deepening of Yang Heng's story, but now it is past the time of the child, that is to say, the task of keeping the New Year is basically over, and even some children are asleep, and the only one who is not asleep is Xiao Niang, she is listening to it with relish.

"Little lady, do you understand?" "Well, what my brother said is that the Chaos Beginning opened the Pangu ,......" "Okay, okay, little lady, go to bed now, and wait for you to talk about it tomorrow."

Crackling, the father and uncles were burning firecrackers outside, and the aunts were making dumplings with the old lady with the only flour they had.
