What Zhong Yiqiu couldn't bear to see was that Yuan Yan's family valued their kindness so much, yet Xiao Mingye was not polite at all, and just sat down and accepted the gift like a grandpa.

Xiao Mingye knew every expression of his so well, even if he just pursed his lips or wrinkled his nose slightly, Zhong Yiqiu couldn't feel it himself, and he could find the difference.

"If I don't accept it frankly, they will keep entanglement, which will be even more troublesome." Xiao Mingye explained while serving him porridge.

Zhong Yiqiu was enlightened. When he came here, he suffered too many courteous pulls from people and people. It seemed that the more exaggerated, the more enthusiastic he became. There were also bold jokes and teasing by women when they saw him, which pushed him to the ground every time. Suffocation, like going through a war.

Now after listening to his words, I finally found the trick, which is to accept it calmly!If it's genuine enthusiasm, then it's just right, if it's a fake politeness, with this lesson learned, there will definitely be no next time in the future, once and for all!

"You are amazing!" Zhong Yiqiu punched him excitedly, "This method is great, you should have told me earlier!"

"It's such a simple truth, I thought it was just a person who knew it."

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

The second person who came to pay New Year's greetings was Yuan Bing. He wore a new dress that didn't fit well. It was bought by his aunt. Women know how to live. When buying new clothes for children, they like to buy one or two sizes too big. You can wear more clothes. year, but also to pass on to younger brothers and sisters to wear in the future.

He was a little afraid of Xiao Mingye, so he stood in the yard and dared not enter the house.Zhong Yiqiu wanted to help Xiao Mingye restore some image, and asked him to give Yuan Bing candy.

Xiao Mingye was eating, so he glanced at him and had to get up to carry out the task assigned by the leader, but he was obviously emotional, wishing to smash the candy plate to Yuan Bing's face, and said bluntly like someone owed him money, " eat."

The colorful candies are very attractive, but Xiao Mingye's black face is too scary, Yuan Bing only dared to reach out and grab one.

Zhong Yiqiu snatched the plate, opened his pocket to put it in, the other pocket was already full, Zhong Yiqiu opened it and saw that it was full of firecrackers, probably last night when every family started to set off firecrackers , I went out to pick it up, and I only saved so much until now.

Zhong Yiqiu remembered that he was also like this when he was a child. Children were keen to pick up firecrackers. When setting off firecrackers, there would be one or two fish that slipped through the net with twists. When they were picked up and released one by one, they loved to hear the sound.

"You have to be careful when you walk. If you fall, they will explode in your pocket." Xiao Mingye said.

Zhong Yiqiu: "..."

Yuan Bing: "..."

Zhong Yiqiu found that Xiao Mingye was very abnormal these days, he liked to talk more than before, and he always said some bad words.But it also means that he is in a good mood. He has been living a gloomy and gloomy life, and finally squeezed into the colorful glow. He is willing to joke, amuse, and pay attention to people other than Zhong Yiqiu.

It's like a person who has been ill for a long time and is locked in a room without a ray of light all day long. The people around him are afraid and disgusted with him. When they pass by this room, they have to stay far away, and even spit in disgust.Finally one day, someone broke through the door, tore off all the black curtains, opened the windows, and the sunlight drove away the darkness in the room and dispelled his stubborn inner illness.

There is nothing more gratifying than this, Zhong Yiqiu was happy while being choked to death by his words, tasted the sweetness of loving someone in the ice and fire.

The juniors of Uncle Yi's family came to pay New Year's greetings one after another, Xiao Mingye was unwilling to deal with them, so he put on a down jacket for Zhong Yiqiu, then knelt down to help him put on warm boots without any psychological barriers, and took him out to play.

Xiao Mingye walked in front. He was wearing the new jacket that Zhong Yiqiu had bought, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He looked tall and straight from the back.Zhong Yiqiu's heart was warm and his face was shy. It was the first time someone put on shoes for him as an adult. He could never forget the feeling when Xiao Mingye held his feet. It was the cherishment and love that emanated from his heart. He could feel it. .

"Where are we going?" Zhong Yiqiu asked, pulled his hands out of his pockets, rubbed them together and quickly stuffed them back "Where do you want to go?" Xiao Mingye asked back.

"I don't know, I can go anywhere, as long as I'm with you."

Xiao Mingye smiled, "Why are you so obedient today?"

Zhong Yiqiu was obedient, and said softly, "From now on, I will be obedient every day."

"Well, that's right, you must be obedient." Xiao Mingye was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded and continued to instruct.

Zhong Yiqiu: "...where are you going?"

Xiao Mingye looked at him with a sad face, meaning look at you, he was obedient when he said it just now, but now he is impatient again.

Zhong Yiqiu looked at the neatly tied shoelaces on his feet, swallowed his breath, and said slowly, "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to the mountains and inspect the territory that will soon belong to us." Xiao Mingye showed a rare emotion.

The two walked side by side, because there were too many people visiting during the New Year on the road, they didn't dare to hold hands, but they didn't know who started it, you bumped me on the shoulder, and I rubbed on your shoulder, like two childish children, you come all the way I went to play around.

When passing by the village, Zhong Yiqiu remembered that Wang Guizhi didn't come to ask Xiao Mingye to go back to have a reunion dinner last night on New Year's Eve. In the past, no matter if he was sincere or not, he would at least call him meaningfully.why?Because she asked for money several times and Xiao Mingye refused to give it, or did Yuan Yulan not help her solve the matter?

"Are you going to pay New Year's greetings to your mother?" Zhong Yiqiu asked carefully.

Xiao Mingye seemed to have just remembered that there was such a thing, he was slightly stunned and looked up at the white mountaintop in the distance.Zhong Yiqiu knew that he was hesitating, no matter what, it was her mother, even if it wasn't for her, there was still Yuan Baochang at home, who was also his benefactor.

"Go, I'll be with you." Zhong Yiqiu helped him make a decision.

Xiao Mingye didn't say anything, turned around and took Zhong Yiqiu to the village.

The village road is full of groups of couples or groups of twos and threes, children running wildly and having fun, Zhong Yiqiu saw a few boys throwing firecrackers into the cow dung, they exploded with a bang, and sprayed all over the road.Zhong Yiqiu wanted to go up and kick their butts a few times, not because they were naughty, but because Xiao Mingye's eyes were a little awkward, looking at these children seemed to remind him of himself when he was a child.

Of course, he never exploded cow dung when he was a child, because no child was willing to play with him, even the six sons, they didn't play with him at first, but after witnessing several tough battles where Xiao Mingye singled out a group of people, he was beaten by him. Ferocity and strength conquered.

Xiao Mingye had never played games with these children, and he was envious and even jealous when he was a child, so for a while, he specially found some charismatic children to beat him up, and couldn't bear to see so many people playing around them.

"Do you want to play? I'll accompany you." Zhong Yiqiu said distressedly.

"What are you playing? Fried cow dung?"

Zhong Yiqiu said in embarrassment: "It's not impossible, but it's too dirty. I want to go back and wear an apron and a hat."

Xiao Mingye was defeated again, he lifted his foot and continued to move forward.

This was the first time Zhong Yiqiu went to his house, and it was only when he arrived at the door that he realized that the decision was too hasty. He didn't bring any gifts, but he just brought a mouth, and it seemed that he had to try his best to make up for it with auspicious words.

There was no one outside the door, and the door was ajar. They thought the family was out to pay New Year's greetings. When they reached the door of the main room, they found that the room was full of more than 30 people. Wang Guizhi, Yuan Yulan, Yuan Baochang, Yuan Baocai, and his wife Chunqiao, the family sits on both sides, with the names of the village in the outer circles, but a strange young man sits in the main seat.

Said young, I guess he is not too young, in his 30s, but he is well maintained, not like a farmer, with prominent and three-dimensional facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, not too tall, 175, thin and elegant , looks very spiritual.

Seeing Xiao Mingye and Zhong Yiqiu appearing at the door, the people in the room seemed to be frightened and panicked, Yuan Baochang hurriedly got up to meet him, "Xiao Ye, why are you back?"

Wang Guizhi looked angry, his face was drawn long and he looked away, deliberately letting people see that he was angry.Yuan Yulan was similar, both of them offended her, but she was a young girl, she couldn't be mean and resentful like her mother, she also lowered her face but turned her head away, not looking at them.

Compared with their insignificant emotions, Zhong Yiqiu paid more attention to what the people in this room were doing. It didn't look like they were chatting during the New Year, everyone looked serious.

The room suddenly fell silent, and the stranger at the main seat suddenly said, "Is this our new friend? Sit inside."

Yuan Baochang rubbed his hands in embarrassment, bent down and replied cautiously, "This is my brother, and his friend."

"Then you won't be an outsider, come in and have a chat." He said with a smile as if he was in his own home.

But he didn't stand up all the time, and he just raised his hand a few times to greet him when he entered the room, with the expression and demeanor of a superior.

Xiao Mingye didn't even look at him, he took Zhong Yiqiu's arm and turned around to leave, only to hear Wang Guizhi's weeping curses and other people's consoling voices coming from the room behind him.

Yuan Baochang chased him out, but he caught up under the jujube tree at the door, his face was bitter and embarrassed, "Why did you just leave when you came back, and have dinner at home at noon, Teacher Zhong is here too."

Seeing his habitual hunched back, Xiao Mingye couldn't bear it, and whispered, "Brother, Happy New Year."

"Okay, okay..." Yuan Baochang was surprised, but also happy.

"Who is that person?" Xiao Mingye asked him.

Yuan Baochang wrinkled his face and said, "It's Mr. Hu."

Zhong Yiqiu was puzzled, "Which school's teacher."

"It's not the school, but the leader of the church. I don't understand. Anyway, I heard that he is a big leader, and he is in charge of the hundred and ten people. All of them are his apprentices." Yuan Baochang didn't make it clear.

But Zhong Yiqiu realized that it was the leader of the sect they believed in, and he didn't expect the scale to be so large.

"When did he come?" Xiao Mingye asked coldly.

"I invited you here yesterday, and I will stay here tonight." Yuan Baochang replied in a low voice.
