On the table, green smoke fills the table.

The boiled pig's head is in the middle, there is a boiled chicken and duck on both sides, then three wine glasses and a pot of wine, and finally three bowls of boiled pig's head and chicken and duck soup plus green vegetables, garlic sprouts, chicken and duck liver, etc.

Many of the ancestors were fond of tobacco and alcohol, although no one in the family had these hobbies.

There was also a yellow clay block in the middle of the table, on which nine incense sticks were inserted, and the festive red ever-bright lamp was also turned on, filling the room with red light.

"Dingding, Xiaoyuan, come over to burn paper and kowtow to the ancestors."

Lin Wanqiu greeted.

Jiang Ding and the two of them tore apart the paper one by one and spread it on the brazier, lit it, and kowtowed.

"Ancestor bless me to take the first place in the next semester, the longer I grow, the more beautiful I get, the more I grow up, the smarter I become......"

Jiang Yuan has words.

Jiang Ding didn't have any wishes.

Kowtow worship is just because of family affection, even if there is a so-called underworld, the ancestors have spirits, and they don't need to bless anything, and what they want, he will go and get it in person.

Cracking sound......

After the worship was completed, Jiang Ding lit a roll of firecrackers with a long arm, and suddenly the flames burst into flames, the sound of explosions went straight to his ears, confetti flew wildly, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke hit his mouth and nose.

After waiting for a while, the smoke cleared a little, and the family made sure that the house was in good condition, locked the door and left, and went to grandparents' and grandparents' houses.

……

Grandma's house,

After a busy day, the whole family finally had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at eight o'clock.

"Alas, I don't want to come back for the New Year this year, I miss it."

There are more wrinkles on my grandmother's face than last year, and I am relieved to look at the whole family, but I am a little regretful.

"Mom, the monastic department is different from the ordinary department, they have a twenty-year school system, two and a half years and a summer vacation, and a winter vacation in five years, and it is the same for you and him to chat more on your mobile phone."

Uncle Lin Yong explained again.

"Determined, how is it going to study this year?"

Grandfather Lin Gang was afraid that Jiang Ding would think that his wife was an old feudal who only missed his grandson, so he hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's a lot better than before, a lot of progress, grandpa." Jiang Ding replied, and said, "I also want to thank my cousin Yuanwang for the blue and white Yunji Spirit Pill, which helped me a lot." ”

When he started, this elixir helped him a lot, and he will not forget this love.

"Hey, what are you talking about?"

Uncle Lin Yong took a sip of wine, his face was full of red light, and his son's admission to the Department of Cultivation of the University was the proudest thing in his life: "Determined, no matter what, let's study hard, work hard, and strive to be admitted to the Department of Cultivation of the University."

Even if we can't pass the exam, let's strive to get a first-order alchemy apprentice, a first-order spirit beast master apprentice or something, and the future will not be bad. ”

"Well, uncle, I will."

Jiang Ding said with a smile.

"And the small garden ......"

Night.

A large family waited until the early hours of the morning to set off fireworks and open the door of wealth, and then fell asleep sleepily.

Because there were not enough rooms at her grandparents' house, Lin Wanqiu made a bed in the sofa in the living room, and he was the only one.

Unable to sleep for a while, Jiang Ding walked to the balcony and silently watched the fireworks that opened the door one after another in the distance, the smell of gunpowder smoke on the tip of his nose was tangy, but he didn't feel unpleasant.

My grandmother's house was also a place I used to come to when I was a child, and I didn't feel strange.

“…… How long will it take to have such a time......"

He was suddenly a little reluctant, wanting to stay in this moment forever and stop chasing something far away.

Close your eyes and stand on the balcony and fall into a deep state of cultivation.

……

After the first year of junior high school, Lin Yong and Lin Wanqiu went home separately, and they all had their colleagues, friends, relatives, etc. to entertain.

Jiang Ding often helped cook and entertain guests, but he never reduced his cultivation time.

The same is true of his friends, Li Junhao and others, who have almost no time to have fun even during the Chinese New Year, and their learning intensity is not much worse than that of school, or even surpassed.

This is the norm for high school juniors.

Those who gave up, after finishing junior high school, were shunted to vocational middle schools and ordinary high schools, and Xianmen High School invested a lot, but in fact, it was elite education.

Jiang Yuan is different, he has been missing all day since he was junior high, either making an appointment with this friend to set off firecrackers, or going out with that friend to watch a fireworks show, or a class reunion picnic and playing cards for entertainment.

In any case, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed without hurry, and the smell of the new year began to fade.

"I don't want to go to cram school!"

Early in the morning, Jiang Yuan cried and walked between Lin Wanqiu and Jiang Ding with a schoolbag on his back.

In fact, if it weren't for Lin Wanqiu's forced takeaway last night, she would have planned to watch TV and play games all night again, and Lin Wanqiu didn't take care of her during the Chinese New Year, and she lived a very indulgent life.

"No way!"

Lin Wanqiu grimaced.

"Xiaoyuan has to work hard, you have to learn from my brother, at least we have to pass, your language, mathematics, physics, thoughts, and morals are all less than seventy points, and you can't become a person who contributes to Xianmen in the future."

"I'm going to be a scrap housegirl."

Jiang Yuan has no energy.

Lin Wanqiu: "......"

No matter how she messed up, she was still dragged to cram school by the two, and then took the bus to Rongcheng Iron and Steel Factory.

This is an industrial park covering an area of dozens of acres, with strict security measures, and entering the factory area has to go through multiple security checks, and Jiang Ding even suspects that one of the security checks is aimed at the spirit.

"Oh, Late Autumn, is this your son?"

"Came here for an internship? Alas, my son......"

Along the way, Lin Wanqiu's colleagues kept saying hello, and when they saw Jiang Ding, they all looked envious.

As veteran employees, they naturally know the preciousness of the internship places in Rongcheng Iron and Steel Plant, and if they do not have excellent academic performance, they are not qualified to come, so they can only choose other small companies.

"Hello Aunt Zhang, Hello Aunt Zhou, ...... Li"

Jiang Ding politely greeted these elders.

"Oops, he's just lucky, it's not a ......"

Lin Wanqiu's smug smile couldn't be concealed at all, but she still had to be pretended to be modest, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Inner Factory,

Lin Wanqiu stopped and advised: "Determined, you just keep walking, someone will pick you up, if you see an unfamiliar building, don't enter casually without permission." ”

"Got it, Mom."

Jiang Ding nodded.

Sure enough, after walking more than 100 meters, I saw that Hua Bing and Wu Tianli had already arrived, talking and laughing, and seeing Jiang Ding coming, Hua Bing's face was slightly red, and he immediately turned into a serious face.

"Happy New Year!"

After greeting each other, Jiang Ding walked to the corner and closed his eyes to recuperate, and entered a state of cultivation, not showing any interest in gossip.

Hua Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, a middle-aged woman wearing a gray protective suit, with a mediocre appearance and a serious expression, walked over, with a three-layer cultivation of Qi training.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Xiuyun, a quality engineer at Rongcheng Iron and Steel Plant, an apprentice of a first-class refiner, you can call me Zhou Gong."

She said competently.

"Good week."

Jiang Ding and the three of them said at the same time.

"The internship period is one month, the first week of our plan is to visit and practice the sorting, crushing, smelting, extraction and other processes of raw materials of broken steel, the second to third week is to learn how to engrave the formation for the half-magic instrument with the help of the optical array recorder, and the fourth week is to learn how to engrave the formation for the magic weapon under the teaching of Wu Chengzhong refiner."

Zhou Xiuyun briefly introduced as she walked:

"Here, please, this is the iron, manganese, zinc, aluminum and other ore sorting and crushing workshop......"
