Text Chapter 007 Night Banquet

The courtyard gate opens on the south side facing the street. The courtyard surrounded by a brick wall about two meters high is not large, only more than 100 square meters. As long as you stand at any position and take a look around, you will see everything in the courtyard.

You can see everything at a glance.

To the north of the yard are three old houses built with blue bricks. They have a history of several decades. Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua have been living here since they got married. Although they have been damaged by rain leaks over the years,

It has been briefly repaired several times, but it is still difficult to cover up the ancient atmosphere from its roots.

In the middle of these three old houses is the living room and dining room. The one to the east is the bedroom of Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua, and the one to the west is a utility room, used to place some things that are not usually used. Rural people basically

People all over the world have this habit of not wanting to throw away even very old things. They always find a place to store them, sometimes even for several years or more. In addition, because Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua

The couple also runs the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, and the utility room also stores some seasonal goods, which is considered a small warehouse.

To the east of the yard are three new houses built with red bricks. This is the residence of Ling Shaonan and others. To say that they are new houses is actually a relative term. They are even a little older than Ling Shaonan. They are the residences of the Yu couple.

After I adopted several children, I built it because the house at home was not enough to live in.

Among these three houses, the northernmost one is Ling Shaonan, the residence of Du Shaoyan and his young master Du Shaoyan. However, after Du Shaoyan went to study abroad and Wei Shaoming joined the army a few years ago, this place became Ling Shaonan's world alone. And the other two

The rooms are occupied by Xiao Shaoqiu and other five girls. Now, since the eldest sister Yu Shaoling has graduated and started working, they are honored to be upgraded to double rooms.

On the other side of the courtyard is a kitchen, which is also the oldest building in the entire courtyard. It is said that its predecessor was an illegal building built haphazardly by refugees during the war, just because the Yu couple grew up during that period.

Because I have a special feeling for it, I gave it this opportunity to continue to exert its remaining heat.

Of course, as far as Ling Shaonan knows, this old man's job is not very good. There is a lot of rain in southern Anhui. Basically, when it rains outside, the house leaks. When it rains heavily outside, it rains moderately in the house. It rains heavily outside.

No one has the character to keep out the rain!

But the strange thing is that no matter how bad the leakage is, the old man has remained standing all these years without even shaking a few times. After private discussions with his second brother Wei Shaoming, Ling Shaonan once came to a conclusion:

It is precisely because this old guy is not protected from the rain and does not have to bear the pressure brought by the rain that he has been able to persist for so many years. This is the same reason that many people in the world die of overwork every year, but no one ever dies of idleness.

In addition to these buildings, there are three or four decades-old sycamore trees in the southwest corner of the yard, next to the bedrooms of Ling Shaonan and others. There are several earthen swing frames hanging from the trunks, and there are more than a dozen around them.

Stones used as stools are scattered around, and this is where all the fun of the children's childhood lies.

…………

While walking, he carefully recalled the scene deep in his memory. Ling Shaonan quickly walked into his room. As soon as he entered the door, he discovered that although no one had lived in it for several months, this simple bedroom was still clean.

It's tidy (well, saying "still" is actually a bit inappropriate, because according to Ling Shaonan's memory, his room has never had anything to do with cleanliness and tidiness.), and there is even a faint fragrance floating in the air. Taking a deep breath, Ling Shaonan immediately

I can tell that this pleasant fragrance comes from my little sister Xiao Shaoqiu. It is the most natural body fragrance for a girl.

"This little girl, haha..." Ling Shaonan shook his head and chuckled, and Ling Shaonan's heart was filled with deep warmth.

After changing his clothes, Ling Shaonan tidied himself up in front of the mirror to make himself look less embarrassed. Then he walked out of the room and walked to the living room.

"Shaonan, you are back!"

"Shaonan, you are finally back!"

As soon as he entered the door, two surprised voices rang in Ling Shaonan's ears. The familiar voices brought him back to the bygone years. His eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly said hello to the two of them to cover up.

Gaffe: "Second sister, third sister, I'm back! Hey, where is the little sister?"

As he spoke, Ling Shaonan's eyes turned around in the small living room. He saw his grandparents sitting quietly on the stools and looking at him with smiles. Their eyes were filled with the relief and joy of being relieved of their burdens. Zhou Shaoqi and Li Shaorong were both sitting there.

The other sister had also rushed to Ling Shaonan with surprise on her face, looking up and down his body, as if checking whether he was missing any parts, but Xiao Shaoqiu, the younger sister whom he saw for the first time after returning home, was not there.

In the house.

"Oh, the little sister is in the kitchen. She said the rice was not enough, so she had to cook two more dishes." After looking up and down for a long time, the second sister Zhou Shaoqi, who finally confirmed that Ling Shaonan was normal, breathed out lightly and casually

replied.

"That's it. Grandpa and grandma, you sit down first, and I'll go take a look." Feeling uncomfortable under the slightly aggressive gazes of his two sisters, Ling Shaonan hurriedly spoke, and then turned around and walked out the door without waiting for the other party's consent.

go.

However, at this moment, a small figure carefully walked out of the kitchen carrying a large sea bowl. Judging from her nervous look, you knew that the bowl must be very full.

He walked forward with a smile and took the big bowl filled with fresh fish soup from Xiao Shaoqiu's hand. After the family sat down at the dining table one after another, Ling Shaonan's first official dinner after his return from rebirth finally began.

"Shaonan, how have you spent these three months? I heard Liu Meng and Wang Kai said that you were taken away by an old Taoist priest. Who is that old Taoist? Why did he take you away?" I just ate a few meals.

Grandpa Yu Weiguo couldn't help but ask. Although he acted as if nothing had happened just now, he was actually very concerned about Ling Shaonan.

This caused him to be stared at fiercely by Du Meihua who was beside him. Seeing Ling Shaonan's devouring look, Grandma Du felt extremely distressed. Although she wanted to know this in her heart, in her eyes, as long as her grandson came back, it would be fine.

, it’s not too late to ask about other things later. The most important thing is to let the grandson eat enough.

"Ahem!" Looking at grandpa's calm look before, I didn't expect him to be so anxious. When Ling Shaonan heard this question, he choked and coughed repeatedly. Xiao Shaoqiu next to him panicked and hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.

After patting him on the back for a while, he finally regained his breath.

"That's it, old man Yunming..."

"Old Yunming? Wasn't the person who took you away an old Taoist priest?" Ling Shaonan's words had just begun when he was interrupted by the confused Yu Weiguo.

"Oh, that's him. But old man Yun Ming really doesn't look like a monk. He doesn't scrupulously eat meat and vegetables, and he doesn't look like a virtuous man at all. He still asked me to call him this name." Regarding the fictional old man,

Taoist priest, Ling Shaonan has been thinking about it for a long time, and the result he finally came up with cannot be easily exposed.

"Huh? Since I am your master..., uh, go on." Originally, Yu Weiguo wanted to teach Ling Shaonan how to respect teachers, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of his wife's threatening look and couldn't help but

He swallowed it and quickly changed his mouth.

"Well, the old man said that he had been living in seclusion in Huangshan Mountain for decades. However, due to the faster and faster development of Huangshan Mountain in recent years, which disturbed his tranquility, he planned to change places. Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave, he encountered

I just thought about taking on a disciple..."

Ling Shaonan's narration was full of emotion. It took him a full hour to create a flesh-and-blood master who was detached from the mortal world and cynical. He also carefully fabricated how he had learned skills under the guidance of the old Taoist priest in the past three months.

How the Taoist priest taught him everything and spent a lot of effort to cultivate himself. Not only did he hear the brilliance in the eyes of the old couple Yu Wei and the three girls, but even he was a little touched before he licked it.

With dry lips, I made my final concluding remarks.

"A few days ago, the old man felt that he had taught me almost everything he needed to teach me, so he kicked me away, saying that he wanted me to practice hard in the world of mortals, and then he ran away without a trace. I

I couldn't find him even if I tried to find him, and because it had been almost three months since I left home and I missed my grandparents, I ran back from the mountains! As for me growing so tall in just a few months, it was entirely because that old man also

I found a bunch of strange fruits from nowhere, and I had to force them to eat them. My clothes and hair are also like this because they haven’t been done for several months.”

Although Ling Shaonan has been talking nonsense for this hour, the most outrageous nonsense has to be the last sentence. Where has he ever eaten any damn treasures of heaven and earth? In fact, his height is incredibly powerful.

His soul was so high! At that time, no matter how much food he ate, it would be digested by his weak body in just half an hour. He once repeated the process of hunting - eating - hunting again.

A whole ten days!

"Huh..." Although he had thought through these things perfectly before, Ling Shaonan was still a little nervous at this time. After finishing speaking, while several family members had not yet recovered from his narration, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

.This is not to say that Ling Shaonan's psychological quality is not good. In fact, after being led by a thunder and lightning for countless years and seeing the harshness of the world, his sophistication is no better than that of an old fox who has lived for seventy or eighty years.

The reason why I was nervous was because I felt guilty because I had to deceive the people closest to me.

"So that's it! There really are masters in this world!" Obviously, Ling Shaonan's painstaking preparations were not in vain. Even the old couple Yu Weiguo and Du Meihua, who have experienced the world for a long time, did not hear any flaws in his words.

, which could not help but let him relax.
