If you give Xiao Tianlei's seven aunts and eight aunts a list of favorite nagging, the seventh aunt is undoubtedly at the top of the list, the seventh aunt married to the city in her early years, and her husband's family opened a restaurant, and it is rare to come back a few times a year. However, every time I come, I will always go to Xiao Tianlei's house to have a family with Jiang's family, and every time I inevitably drag Xiao Tianlei and talk about it for a long time, especially when Xiao Tianlei drank her milk when she was a child, she often talked about it.

Hearing that it was Aunt Seven's voice, almost subconsciously, Xiao Tianlei ran away, completely ignoring the shouts of Aunt Seven behind him.

Then I heard a sound of footsteps behind me, and another voice shouted, "Lei Wazi, wait for me!" ”

Xiao Tianlei turned his head to look, but it was a teenager, and if he looked closely, he was also an acquaintance, Qin Jincai, the son of the seventh aunt, was sent to Zhengjiazhuang to live for a period of time when he was a child, and he also played together every day at that time, and later it was said that his uncle spent money to let him worship a very famous sect.

Xiao Tianlei stopped, Qin Jincai stepped forward, and said happily: "Ha...... Finally ran out, my mother was just annoying, talking non-stop along the way, and my skull hurt me! By the way, why are you alone, where are the others? ”

"I'm going to them."

"Let's go, go and play with them all the way." Qin Jincai couldn't wait.

After a while, Xiao Tianlei led Qin Jincai to a barn. Qin Jincai felt strange, when he arrived at the door of the barn, there were several rows of shoes lined up outside the door, Xiao Tianlei took off his banine shoes and walked barefoot, Qin Jincai glanced into the barn, only to see that the space inside was huge, and there was a layer of straw mat on the ground, and he also took off his shoes and entered.

This is the indoor martial arts training ground established by Xiao Tianlei and others, which is still simple, but it is enough to use, because of the money made by selling candy, Xiao Tianlei customized some equipment in the blacksmith shop to exercise muscles and body coordination.

Xiao Tianlei has to do some experiments in the medical hall every day, and the candy workshop also has to check and check the accounts, the teaching work of the martial arts training field is mainly done by Xiao Tianfu, Xiao Tianlei comes once a day, plays a few games, and does some targeted exercises, although he has a hero template, Xiao Tianlei has not relaxed his exercise, whether the hero template can exert real strength, whether the Gang Qi is strong is very important, and the Gang Qi comes from a strong body.

At this time, there were two people in the field who were competing, the fight was inextricable, sweating profusely, and the others were watching while drinking some salt and sugar water to replenish water and restore strength.

Xiao Tianlei didn't make a sound, found a place to sit cross-legged, and Qin Jincai also sat down to watch.

"Hey, Brother Cai, it's you!" The others glanced at Qin Jincai and didn't pay much attention, Xiao Tianbao recognized Qin Jincai, Xiao Tianbao also comes here every day to practice martial arts, and his body is much stronger than before.

"Bao Wa'er, you are also here, you have also started to practice martial arts, and you are no longer studying?"

"It's not interesting to study, it's still fun to practice martial arts. By the way, Brother Cai, I heard that you entered that faction? ”

"Don't mention it! I've been expelled from the school! ”

"Oh! Why? ”

"Why can't it just be a fight? My master said that I didn't obey discipline and was so brave and ruthless, so he kicked me out! ”

"Then have you learned great martial arts?"

"That'...... Of course, I'm Qin Shao! Wait a minute, I'll show you my hands. Qin Jincai was a little insincere, where is the advanced martial arts in the sect so easy to learn, but he can't pull his face, he can only lie, seeing the two teenagers in the field competing, he is a little eager to try. After practicing hard in the sect for several years, Qin Jincai is still quite confident in his martial arts.

"Biaozi, how about we have a fight?"

When the competition between the two in the field was over, Qin Jincai got up and walked to the middle of the field, and hooked his finger at Zheng Biao, he used to fight with Zheng Biao, and the two could be said to be old rivals.

Zheng Biao also recognized Qin Jincai, and in the face of the challenge of his old opponent, he was also a little expectant, and jumped up suddenly: "Okay!" ”

The two walked to the center, Qin Jincai was about to speak, Zheng Biao kicked sideways without warning, kicking Qin Jincai's lower plate, Qin Jincai was caught off guard, his legs were taken off the ground, he suddenly lost his center of gravity, and fell to the ground like an upside-down onion.

Qin Jincai rolled a carp and stood up, and said angrily: "You sneak attack!" ”

Zheng Biao shrugged his shoulders, he never talked about any rules in the indoor martial arts training field, he was completely in accordance with the actual battle, relying on his own means, and carelessly looking for his own death. I heard that Qin Jincai entered the sect to practice martial arts, originally he was still like a great enemy, but now it seems that Qin Jincai is not very good.

"Then you come again, this time I'll wait for you to get ready." Zheng Biao behaved quite kindly, and waited for Qin Jincai to put on a posture and waited for a while before asking, "Okay?" ”

"Wait a minute......" Qin Jincai stepped out with a punch and swooped straight at Zheng Biao.

Zheng Biao's face was stunned, and Qin Jincai felt a little revenge, but this pleasure only lasted less than a second, because he found that his wrist was held by Zheng Biao.

"Hey!" Zheng Biao let out a low shout, and the whole person fell to the ground, coupled with Qin Jincai's own strength, he easily threw Qin Jincai's whole person out, but it was Zheng Biao who pretended to be in the middle of the plan, and he came to such a hand.

Qin Jincai fell several meters away at once, fortunately the ground was soft, otherwise it would inevitably hurt his muscles and bones. Qin Jincai was a little stunned by the fall, and after a while, he stood up and gritted his teeth: "You are so treacherous!" ”

"Each other! Still not coming? ”

"When I'm scared of you? Come on! ”

At this time, Xiao Tianlei gave Zheng Biao a gesture, Xiao Tianlei wanted to see what Qin Jincai had learned in the sect, if it was according to the current way of playing, Qin Jincai would not be able to show the kung fu he had learned at all, Xiao Tianlei asked Zheng Biao to change his style of play, and fight with Qin Jincai one move at a time, basically Qin Jincai's main attack, Zheng Biao's passive defense, and occasionally counterattack.

It should be said that Qin Jincai's martial arts moves are good, and the martial arts in the sect are all tempered over the past dynasties, if you practice to a situation where you can come easily, it will not be weak, of course, Qin Jincai is still far from that situation, but because of the moves, he is bound and cannot play.

This competition was finally stopped because of Qin Jincai's lack of physical strength, however, Qin Jincai did not admit defeat, and agreed to continue the competition with Zheng Biao the next day, but the next day was the New Year's Day, and all families had to reunite, how could there be time to compete?

On the same day, the candy workshop also stopped production, Xiao Tianlei, Zheng Biao and others settled the accounts together, and the workers and friends distributed some candy and bonuses, and went back to their respective homes for the holidays.

As in previous years, the Xiao family would set up a banquet in the old mansion, and the whole family would worship their ancestors together.

The banquet of the New Year's Festival was mainly organized by the women of each room, and on the day of the New Year's Day, Jiang went to the old house early to help. Xiao Tianlei was not idle, even if he didn't like it very much, the two brothers still had to change into new clothes, follow their father Xiao Qinghe to the old mansion, and complete some rituals as juniors.

The old house of the Xiao family is just a two-entry courtyard, but there are more than 20 rooms, but the older generation of the Xiao family who were exiled to Lingzhou spent great effort to build, and the old house enshrines the ancestral tablet of the Xiao family, which can be traced back to more than a thousand years ago, and then the ancestors of the Xiao family of Langxi County, and then the ancestors of the Xiao family of Zhengjiazhuang.

His grandfather's name was Xiao Shaoyun, and the people in the village called him Mr. Xiao, and he was a teacher in the village, a thin old man with a lot of spirit, with a goatee, unhurried speech, walking straight, and a bit of a scholar. As a gentleman, my grandfather was very strict, but he was quite kind to the grandchildren of the clan. Xiao Tianlei heard from the people in the clan that his grandfather was the most learned person in the clan, and if he hadn't been implicated and exiled back then, he would not have been allowed to participate in the literary examination, and he might not have become a big official earlier.

Xiao Tianlei has some opinions on the clan system, and he has no prejudice against his grandfather himself, it should be said that his grandfather is a qualified patriarch, who never misuses the public property of the clan, treats the children of the clan equally, and is usually very thrifty, and the old man is also very stubborn, and he still insists on working in the field at an old age.

"Qinghe, here, the two babies are strong, okay! I heard that Tianfu and Tianlei followed the Zheng family boy to do business, and doing business is also a way out, so you have to do it well! ”

Xiao Shaoyun said a few words with a smile, like most people in the village, Xiao Shaoyun didn't know that the candy business was actually Xiao Tianlei in charge, he just thought that it was the Zheng family's business, Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianfu were just following Zheng Biao to join in the fun, no matter what, in the old man's opinion, it was also a good thing, it was better than just digging in the soil.

After meeting his grandfather, there were other elders in the clan, Xiao Tianlei and Xiao Tianfu followed Xiao Qinghe one by one.

After walking these rituals, Xiao Tianlei breathed a sigh of relief, and just thought about finding a quiet place to stay, he was caught by the seventh aunt, and grabbed his ears and counted: "You stunned boy, ran away when you saw me yesterday, and the seventh aunt didn't invite you to see you like this?" You have no conscience, I have watched you grow up since I was a child, and you have eaten my milk, and when you grow up, you will not admit it! ”

The seventh aunt has a sharp voice, and he chatters about other aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, aunts, cousins, and mothers...... All attracted attention, dropped the work in his hand and gathered over, Xiao Tianlei secretly screamed that it was not good, and wanted to try to slip away, but it was too late, and he was surrounded by seven aunts and eight aunts.

"Oh, Lei Wazi wears this, it's really popular."

"Lei Wazi, the clothes are made by you, what a skillful hand!"

"Lei Wazi is not young, another day my aunt will tell you a beautiful daughter-in-law."

"It's early, it's only thirteen."

"It's not small, it's not small, our son of the rich man Zhao is only twelve years old and married his wife!"

"That's a rich family, how can it be compared."

"Why can't it be compared?! Don't say anything else, just look at this little face, which girl doesn't like it. ”

"But our Lei Wazi ......"

"I don't think Lei Wazi is stupid at all, but he is a little stunned, much better than the muddy boy in my family who causes trouble all day long."

"That's it! With Lei Wazi's talent, it is not strange to find an official lady. ”

"If that's the case, we'll follow suit when the time comes!"

……

The more Xiao Tianlei listened, the more wrong he became, isn't this just letting himself eat soft rice with a little white face! However, anyway, that is to say, whatever, Xiao Tianlei just wanted to hurry away, just found a gap, grabbed his ear with one hand, and it was Aunt Seventh again.

"This kid wants to slip away again, and he hasn't finished talking about business, so listen honestly."

What's going on here?! Xiao Tianlei sighed in his heart, but he couldn't have a seizure, trying to keep his face expressionless, feeling that the corners of his mouth jumped unconsciously, Xiao Tianfu, Xiao Tianbao, Qin Jincai and others were watching the excitement on the side, squeezing their eyebrows.

"I have time to chew the root of my tongue here, I have nothing to do, do I?!"

At this moment, an old lady who was dressed and dressed very cleanly appeared, with a calm face, and scolded loudly, and those seven aunts and eight aunts dispersed to be busy, and Xiao Tianlei was finally saved.

It was Xiao Tianlei's grandmother Ye who came from the Ye family, who was called her grandmother in the clan, and was also a young lady from a large family, and now the old lady is the housekeeper of the Xiao family, managing the Xiao family's money bag and people's affairs.

"Tianlei, let grandma take a good look, I won't see you a few times a year...... In the future, I'll come to see grandma when I have time. Ye Shi pulled Xiao Tianlei and muttered a few words before going to greet the others, if it wasn't for the busy work, it was estimated that it would be a long time.

Xiao Tianlei took a long breath, as an introverted and very independent person, he was really not used to being too close to people, even if it was a relative, and he could only say sorry for the expectations of some relatives.

When the adults are busy, the teenagers and children in the clan also get together, basically each has its own circle, and the students get together, all of them are like the little adults, with rules and regulations, and they are not smiling. If you don't study together, it's much more casual, and you can't talk nonsense. Qin Jincai returned from the sect, and naturally became the center of the conversation, many people wanted to hear him talk about some things in the sect, Qin Jincai was also very happy, and said with his eyebrows:

"There are a few senior brothers in the door, they rely on entering the door early, and they always bully me, who is I Qin Shao?!" Can you bully someone?! I, ah, quietly drugged them, and when they went to the hut, I kicked them into the thatched pit and filled their mouths full of feces and urine, haha. ”

Wait until everything is ready, the whole clan worships the ancestors of the Xiao family, the specific process is not mentioned, one of the important links, the patriarch will call the children of the clan to the ancestors in front of the spiritual seat to admonish, this year is particularly solemn, and let the children recite the ancestral teachings, about because there is a literary exam this year, several children in the family will take the exam, a few children knelt there, and listened to a few old men chanting for a long time.

Seriously, it is not easy to study, although the living conditions are better than those of ordinary clansmen, and the mission of revitalizing the family, the hopes of the clansmen, and the psychological pressure are huge, which can be imagined.

At the end of the ceremony, everyone's stomachs were hungry, and the children's long-awaited banquet began. There are some rules for eating at the table, the table for women and children is different, and each dish has basically been divided before being served, one piece per person, and it is not possible to hold one more chopstick. However, Xiao Tianlei and a group of boys sat at a table, and they didn't pay so much attention to it, they ate it violently, and swept away the food on the table in a few clicks.

The next day, the seventh aunt and his wife returned to the city, but Qin Jincai proposed to stay, and the seventh aunt and his wife were also happy to do so, saving Qin Jincai from causing trouble in the city and mixing with some indiscreet people all day long.

A few days later, Xiao Tianlei entered the mountains and forests alone.
