"Our people in Liuhe Town, before and after almost these two hundred years have moved over one after another, in the past, Ganzhou this place is fighting almost every year, today you kill it, tomorrow I kill it, when I was young, this Liuhe Town is not a town, but a small village, a total of more than 20 families, settled next to the river, there is no big surname, the ancestors of each family are almost all from the military, no war, find a mother-in-law to settle down, where are there so many people like now, in the history of our Liuhe Town, there has never been a big official, the county order has not been issued, not to mention that someone can see the emperor, how can this emperor be seen casually......"

In the courtyard of the Yan family, there are already dozens of people sitting at dozens of tables, and those who can sit in the courtyard of the Yan family at this time are all people with heads and faces in Liuhe Town or men who are the heads of the family, and those children and teenagers who are not qualified to sit are all standing on the edge of the courtyard, listening silently to the six grandfathers on the main table.

More people are sitting on the yard outside the Yan family's blacksmith workshop, the tables above the entire yard are almost more than a hundred tables, there are two doors between the yard and the yard, the gate of the whole yard is open, the wine table is even the city, several new earthen stoves have been set up on the yard, and a few simple pergolas have been set up around the earthen stove, the women in Liuhe Town are busy in the yard, the back kitchen, the riverside, and the yard, washing the vegetables, cooking and cooking, one by one the cooked meals and drinks are brought up, the children are happy to shuttle in the banquet, everyone is smiling, and the whole Yan family compound is around, all the smell of food and laughter.

Yan Liqiang's return to Liuhe Town this time is a big event for Liuhe Town, Liuhe Town's neighbors came to give gifts and visits, almost breaking the threshold of the Yan family, Yan Dechang was happy, and the day after Yan Liqiang came back, he directly held a banquet in the Yan family to thank the neighbors.

The banquets in this village and town, such as the organization of red and white ceremonies, are not as complicated as in the city, generally just shout, the surrounding neighbors come, those women in the town who are quick and pungent in their hands and feet, they can be lively and lively at once, the men set up a stove to chop wood, kill pigs and slaughter sheep, and the rest, almost all can be handed over to the women to do.

At this moment, Ganzhou has reached the end of October, it is all idle time, and the people in the town are not busy, Yan Dechang, who is the pavilion chief of Liuhe Town, sent a message to invite the neighbors to a banquet, hula suddenly, almost the entire Liuhe Town, men and women, old and young, thousands of people have come, the Yan family does not have so many tables and chopsticks, and the surrounding neighbors and villagers have moved their own chopsticks, tables, and stools one by one, and put them together, becoming a continuous feast......

Liu Butcher's father and son led a few helpers to help today, killing pigs and sheep in the yard, Liu Butcher's face was full of red light, the woman of Liu Butcher was washing vegetables by the river, and saw his own man talking loudly in a group of people, directing people to handle the knife and divide the meat, and heard the woman washing vegetables next to him praising Liu Butcher for his ability and being a good hand, and Liu Butcher's woman also felt satisfied, and the corner of her mouth grinned," What can he do, my family's mouth is a pig killer, if he can't help Old Man Yan and Young Master Yan at this time, then he will live in vain as a big man......"

If Liu Butcher still had some thoughts about the Yan family before, since Yan Liqiang won the first place in the top three in the Guoshu County Examination in Qinghe County last year, Liu Butcher's thoughts have been completely extinguished, especially this year, as Yan Liqiang's reputation sounded in Ganzhou, especially after those outsiders who came to Liuhe Town to buy Yan family's swords brought all kinds of news about Yan Liqiang in the imperial capital, this Yan family, in the hearts of Liu Butcher's family, has become an existence 100,000 times higher than the original Hong family, and can only look up, the young master of the Yan family likes to make home-made sausages, and it has become something that Liu Butcher usually likes to brag and boast about wherever he goes, don't say itAs soon as the signboard of Liu Butcher was hung out, the business of his meat stall was really much better, especially when it was time to catch the market, Liu Butcher shouted in the market that he had made sausages and bacon for the Yan family or something, and his little things would soon be sold out.

The sixth grandfather who is speaking at the main table in the courtyard is the oldest elder in the entire Liuhe town, as of this year, the sixth grandfather has lived 138 years old, is the oldest old man in the entire Liuhe town, according to the generation, all the people in Liuhe town are the younger generations of the six grandfathers, in the Han Empire, a person can live more than 120 years old, and there are children and grandchildren filial piety, then it can be called the Rui people, which is considered to be an auspicious symbol of good fortune, the six grandfathers are the Rui people in Liuhe Town, I heard that the six grandfathers used to be young and did the town's pavilion chief, the private school in Liuhe Town that taught people to read and write, or the town's grain field and the township road leading to the outside of the town, which were originally set up in the hands of the six grandfathers.

Over the years, no matter which family in the town has a child for 100 days, they have to bring it to the sixth grandfather to touch their heads, and then ask for a bowl used by the sixth grandfather to feed the child, everyone believes that such a child is easy to grow up, no disease and no disaster, because of this, the sixth grandfather has a special reputation in Liuhe Town, when Yan Liqiang was young, it seems that he also touched the head of the sixth grandfather, and the bowl that the sixth grandfather gave to Yan Liqiang is still in the cabinet of the Yan family.

Although the 138-year-old sixth grandfather's eyes have turned yellow, but his eyes are not spent at all, although there are patches of age spots on his face, but his teeth are still there, he doesn't need crutches to walk, and his conversation is still clear. The other few people sitting at the main table were all some prestigious families in Liuhe Town, and these people, one by one, were listening to the sixth grandfather talking about the history of Liuhe Town, but their eyes swept towards Yan Liqiang from time to time.

Yan Liqiang let the sixth grandfather sit directly at the top of the main table, and he sat on the left hand side of the sixth grandfather, when the sixth grandfather was talking, Yan Liqiang was smiling, nodding while listening, seeing Yan Liqiang so respectful of the old and virtuous, the neighbors in the courtyard were secretly nodding, and the heart said that the popularity of the people who had seen the world in the imperial capital city was really different, the Hong family held a big banquet in the past, and they were arrogant, and they did not have such respect for the sixth grandfather, and the sixth grandfather went once and did not go, today the sixth grandfather came to the Yan family for the first time, and he was very respected, and the sixth grandfather also had a lot of conversation, and there were more words。

"We have a talent in Liuhe Town, and it is also a major event in the whole Liuhe Town, although I am old, but I was also young back then, I have walked through the rivers and lakes, carried knives and guns, and have seen a first-class official in the history of assassination, everyone says that a hero has three gangs, a fence and three piles, in this regard, I am deeply touched, you look at those princes and generals, high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which is not a large number of people in order to help to prosper, Liqiang, you are good now, but you can't forget the blind date in the town, the blind date in this town, but they are willing to help you, and I hope you can get better and better, and then everyone is also stained with light, this fellow townsman and clan are heart-to-heart and rooted......" The sixth Ah Gong said to Yan Liqiang earnestly, patting the back of Yan Liqiang's hand, "The blind dates in this town, Duba hopes that you can bring out all the young children in the town, let them follow you, learn your skills, and glorify your ancestors......"

The sixth grandfather said, and the eyes of everyone in the entire compound looked at Yan Liqiang, wanting to hear Yan Liqiang's statement and meaning, and everyone praised the sixth grandfather in their hearts, and the old spirits and ghosts of the sixth grandfather were praised one by one......

Yan Liqiang smiled slightly, the snake in his mind had already touched the minds of the neighbors in the courtyard......
