The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year, and fireworks welcome the new year.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve again.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, since the beginning of the night, the sound of firecrackers has been ringing continuously from far and near. After waking up at zero o'clock, the fireworks reached a climax. At this moment, almost every household in the village is setting off cannons, crackling and banging sounds, to celebrate the arrival of the new year.

Lin Xu's family is no exception at this moment.

Although Lin Xu didn't like the lively atmosphere very much, the older he got, the more he didn't like the New Year's Festival, and he didn't like to set off firecrackers. Because he was blown up when he was a child, he has had some shadows about it since then, and he doesn't dare to fire it again.

However, as he grew older, his courage began to become bigger, and now he is successful in martial arts, and he is even more bold. Therefore, such a trivial matter as firing a cannon is even more important. With his current reaction and speed, how could he be bombed again. Therefore, he took the initiative to take over the matter of firing the cannon this year, and he took the responsibility for it.

In fact, his father, Lin Lang, doesn't like to shoot guns. The reason is the same as him, because his father also had a painful experience of being blown up in the hand by a cannon. However, unlike him, he was blown up because he was young at the time, reacted slowly, and did not throw the fuse of a firecracker in time after lighting it. And the time his father was bombed, it was because the quality of the artillery battle itself was not up to par. At that time, a hand-held long cannon barrel with several rings was fired, but the last shot did not go out, and it exploded inside, so it was blown up.

The blow up of the hands of the father and son was not serious, but it has left a little shadow on the firing since then.

Lin Xu is young, he doesn't want to let it go, he doesn't dare to let it go, he can not let it go. But his father, Lin Lang, has to be released when it should be, and he must be forcibly overcome. Because Grandpa Lin Xu is a person who loves to shoot guns, he is also very conservative and follows the tradition, and he must fire guns during the New Year's holidays. His grandfather is finally old, and Lin Lang naturally can't let his old father do this kind of dangerous thing, so he can only come by himself every time. But now it's basically a matter of hanging firecrackers, and the hand-held ones will never dare to put them anymore.

Now that Lin Xu has practiced martial arts, he is bold, and he has an absolutely confident reaction speed, and he has completely overcome this kind of small problem. So this year, he took the initiative to take on the task of firing guns during the Chinese New Year. is also the same reason as his father Lin Lang, he knows that his father has always had a bit of a psychological shadow about firearms, and now he can afford it, although he still doesn't like firearms, but he has to take it. After all, now that he has put it, he is more sure that he will never be injured by the explosion again. This kind of dangerous thing should be done by him, the person with the highest force and the most ability to protect himself.

However, because he didn't like it, Lin Xu didn't put it much, and his father's habits over the years had not prepared much, so on Chinese New Year's Eve this year, Lin Xu only set off the firecrackers.

After the cannon was fired, Lin Xu stood in the courtyard, looked up at the night sky, and turned his head around to look at the fireworks set off by other houses. Although he doesn't like to set off cannons, and he doesn't like the noise caused by the sound of cannons, he likes to watch them like the kind of fireworks that burst into beautiful fireworks after they burst into the air.

So at this time, I also enjoy the fireworks in other people's homes. However, this kind of fireworks is relatively more expensive, so there are not many people in the village who buy this kind of fireworks, and only a few can see them every year.

With Lin Xu's current financial resources, it is not a problem to buy this kind of fireworks. But it's still that reason, although he is not afraid now, he still doesn't like to shoot guns. Even with fireworks, there is still the sound of cannons. He prefers to look at it from a distance, and does not like to put it up close.

Looking at the fireworks set off in the night sky, Lin Xu also felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a while. Another year passed, and he was a year older, and this year he was sixteen. And now, it is also a year since he officially practiced martial arts, and there are still a few more days.

He officially began to practice martial arts on the 25th day of the lunar month before the Chinese New Year last year. And on Chinese New Year's Eve before midnight, it was still the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month. At the end of the year, his martial arts have also made great progress in this year.

At the end of the year, his internal cultivation had already reached the first level of consummation of the internal force realm, and he began to step into the second level of cultivation. As for other external skills, there are also varying degrees of progress. The new martial arts also learned a few sets from Huang Zongwen by changing the secrets every once in a while. The most important thing is that he also got the full version of the 12-way Huaquan boxing book from Huang Zongwen, and learned this set of martial arts completely, and it is no longer only the first three ways. After learning everything, the power of his fist and foot kung fu has also increased a lot.

At present, he has mastered the most powerful "Thirteen Styles of Wonderful Hands" in terms of fists and feet, and he is also more familiar with it and has a deeper understanding. And the four martial arts left by Kongkonger, the last set of "Ape Gong Swordsmanship" that has not been practiced, he has finally begun to officially learn now. It's just that this sword technique is broad and profound, very subtle and clever, and it is difficult for him to fully master it in the short term.

In addition to martial arts, his student's own job, his academics, have also made great progress. Since the day he was in the capital, after he learned about Su Zi's skipping grades, he had to wake up and set his goal of skipping a grade to complete the legendary task among the students.

With this goal in mind, after returning from the capital, he began to devote himself to this matter before the start of school. First of all, it is necessary to buy and prepare the textbooks for the whole school year of junior high school and the textbooks for the first year of high school in advance. Then, after the start of the school year, he consulted with the school leaders in detail about all the relevant matters and regulations for their local grade skipping, and applied to the school leaders about his intention to skip a grade.

He plans to complete all the junior high school courses in the first semester of the third year of junior high school, including the second semester, and then complete the courses in the first year of high school on his own. After completing his studies, when his application for skipping a grade is approved, he can take the final exam of the first semester of the first year of Pingyang No. 1 High School.

If in the final examination of the first year of high school in this half-year of high school, his grade can reach above the average score line of the first year of high school students in the city, then he will be able to meet the requirements of skipping a grade, and prove that his knowledge and learning level are completely equal to or even higher than those of the first year of high school. In this case, the No. 1 Middle School will agree to admit him, a skipping student, and allow him to be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city with the results of the non-promotion examination to study in the second semester of high school.

After setting a goal, preparing and planning, Lin Xu began to study very attentively and frantically. In order to achieve his goal as soon as possible, he even sacrificed part of his martial arts training time for this reason, and used it for study. After all, time is tight and the task is heavy, so we should do everything possible and work hard to complete it.

However, he did not abandon his martial arts practice because of this, and the part of the time he sacrificed was only less practice of external martial arts. For the cultivation of internal strength, he has always insisted on it and has not shortened it. Practicing internal strength in the second half of the night does not affect the study during the day.

During this time, he even reduced the number of secrets to find Huang Zongwen to change to learn new martial arts. In addition to completing the Twelve Roads Huaquan, there are few others. The main energy is more focused on learning.

After a semester of hard work and hard work, he finally achieved his goal. Just a few days before the Chinese New Year, he received an admission notice from the No. 1 Middle School in the city, informing him that when the school started, he could register for enrollment in the No. 1 Middle School.

He managed to skip a grade and complete the legendary quest among the students. After this admission notice was sent, the whole family was very happy and celebrated and proud of Lin Xu. All the teachers and students of Wuxiang Middle School are also proud of it, and they are happy and proud of it. Even for this reason, during the holiday period a year ago, he specially notified all teachers and students to return to school temporarily, and held a separate commendation meeting for Lin Xu, which greatly encouraged and praised him, and called on all students to learn from Lin Xu.

Being able to produce a skipping student and completing the legend among students who skip a grade and go on to higher education is also a very honorable thing for Wuxiang Middle School, and it is enough to boast about it. Therefore, the school naturally praised Lin Xu. The leaders of the colonel regarded the previous preferential treatment of Lin Xu as their prescient and far-sighted investment. Sure enough, this student is not ordinary, and he can do such a thing as skipping a grade and going to school, so they gave Lin Xu preferential treatment before, which is a matter of course. For special students, certain special treatment should be given.
