At noon, Chen Zixin served the bamboo rice. He Jiong said,"" Come, let's eat."
Reba and Shishi Liu asked,"Little Wolf (Zixin), which one of these is chicken rice?"
Chen Zixin smiled and said," The one with a red string on the bamboo tube is chicken rice. I made two, roasted two, and steamed two. You two eat with all your might."
Reba and Exemplary Liu nodded and opened the bamboo tube. Immediately, the fragrance of rice and bamboo spread out. Huang Lei and the others picked up their chopsticks and started eating when they smelled the fragrance." It's delicious. The bamboo rice made with bacon is delicious."
" Yes, Brother's cooking is delicious. I have to eat more today," Zhang Yixing said with a smile.
" I'm only eating one bowl of rice today," Peng Peng said.
His words made everyone laugh. Everyone laughed and continued to eat. Chen Zixin said, Teacher He, where did you buy this chili sauce? It tastes pretty good."
"Not bad! "This is Xiangnan's century-old chili sauce," He Jiong said with a smile.
Chen Zixin smiled and said," It's really good. It goes really well. Oh right, I'm going to film a show next week. Lead the way and I'll go buy more."
"Alright, I'll bring you to buy more, but do you have money?" He Jiong teased. You've already handed over your bank card."
"It's okay. Isn't Yaya going too? "Get her to pay me to buy some," Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, I'll pay for it for you. But how are you going to pay me back?" Tong Liya teased.
Chen Zixin scratched his head and said,"I won't object to your conditions."
" Alright then. I'll have to think about what conditions to raise," Tong Liya said.
Sure, but you won't sell me out, right?" Chen Zixin said worriedly.
" Tsk, even if I sold you, it wouldn't be worth much," Tong Liya complained.
Chen Zixin smiled and continued eating. Soon, the meal was over. Everyone sat down and drank tea while chatting. His sister asked, Brother, when are you going to make milk tea?"
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"I'll go make it now. Wait for me." After saying that, Chen Zixin walked into the kitchen and started making milk tea. Half an hour later, Chen Zixin came out with a big pot of milk tea and said,"I'll go make it now.""Come, everyone pour it yourselves! I don't care."
" Come, I'll pour some for everyone." He Jiong smiled as he picked up a pot of milk tea and poured a cup of milk tea for everyone else. Liu Yifei and the others smelled the milk tea and picked up their cups to drink, praising it non-stop.
Chen Zixin smiled as he drank his tea. He awkwardly said," Everyone, do you want to play with the water guns? The director gave us some water guns today. Do you want to play?"
" Sure, sure. Where's the water gun?" Huang Lei asked.
Peng Peng immediately took it and said,"Choose your water gun. I've already chosen it."
" Hey, you're fast. I'll take this rifle," Huang Lei said.
" I want this Gatling gun," Huang Bo said.
After the others had made their choices, Huang Lei asked," Zixin, which one do you choose?"
Chen Zixin searched the box and took it out." This is a Type 95 automatic rifle. I used this in the army. How about it? Wouldn't I look good holding a gun in my military uniform?
" Of course it'll look good. Now that you're holding a gun, I feel like you're an iron warrior," Huang Lei said.
" Hehe, do you want to team up with me?" Chen Zixin asked with a smile.
" Then we have to team up," Huang Lei said.
" If Zixin joins me, the three of us will be invincible. The three of us old foxes can combine," Huang Bo said.
" Brother, count me in. I'm a little fox too," Zhang Yixing said.
" Go, go, go. It's none of your business. Why is a little lamb pretending to be a fox? Go to the side. The three of us are enough," Chen Zixin said in disdain.
" Brother, you'll regret it if you don't let me join," Zhang Yixing said.
Chen Zixin said smugly," Tsk, I'm not afraid of you being proud. I'll let you experience what a sharpshooter is today. I'll definitely let you take a good bath today."
" Alright, let's see how you're going to make me take a shower," Zhang Yixing said.
" Alright then. The three of us will go load the ammunition. We'll start in a while," Chen Zixin said.
" Let's go and load the ammunition," Huang Bo said.
" Let's hurry up and load the ammunition," He Jiong said.
Soon, everyone was loaded with ammunition. Huang Lei said," Today, the three of us old foxes are going to have a good time."
" Alright then. Our Mushroom Hut Team will treat you three sly old foxes well today," He Jiong said.
" Then let's begin! Chen Zixin said to shoot at Zhang Yixing immediately. Zhang Yixing immediately said with a face full of water,"" Brother, I'm going all out with you." Hence, Zhang Yixing began to fight. Everyone started to attack and play happily. Chen Zixin really made use of his advantage. He started to fly up and down the mushroom house, attacking He Jiong and the others. He really did not get a single drop of water on his body.
Very soon, everyone was exhausted from playing. After stopping the battle, they showered and rested. He Jiong said helplessly,"Why am I so unlucky? My clothes were all wet when I ran into Zixin, but his clothes weren't wet at all."
" I was really bathed by my brother," Zhang Yixing said.
" As for me, I was bathed in vinegar by Teacher Huang. Even now, I still smell like vinegar," Peng Peng said.
" Haha, Teacher Huang, you actually used a biochemical weapon," He Jiong said with a laugh.
" I can't help it. The firepower is too strong, so I have to use my ultimate move," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Sigh, we really went all out with Zixin. The three of us defeated them," Huang Bo said.
" Oh my god, Chen Zixin, we're not done with you," He Jiong and the others roared.
Chen Zixin walked out with the ginger soup and said,"" Alright, stop shouting. Drink the ginger soup to drive away the cold."
" Aiya, Zixin is so good. He even prepared ginger soup. We have to drink it," Huang Lei said as she picked up a bowl and drank it. He Jiong and the others also picked up a bowl and drank it. Teacher Huang Bo, close your eyes for a while. I'll give you a few needles."
" Acupuncture? Why are you giving me acupuncture? I didn't offend you," Huang Bo said.
"Didn't you get water in your eyes just now? "I'll use silver needles to force the water out so that your eyes won't be red and swollen tomorrow," Chen Zixin said.
" If that's the case, then I'll have to thank Zixin. Do whatever you want," Huang Bo said.
Chen Zixin smiled and took out the silver needles from his body. Teacher He, get me some alcohol and a lighter."
He Jiong nodded and went to take out the alcohol and lighter. Chen Zixin took it and began to wipe Huang Bo's eyes and silver needles with alcohol. Then, he used the lighter to burn the silver needles and quickly inserted a few needles into the acupuncture points. After a while, water flowed down Huang Bo's eyes. Chen Zixin saw the water flowing out and put away the silver needles." Alright, Teacher Huang Bo, you can open your eyes now. Go and wipe your eyes with a dry towel."
Huang Bo nodded and walked into the bathroom. He dried himself with a towel and said," Aiyo, this is really good. My eyes are quite comfortable now, but I didn't expect Zixin to not feel any pain at all."
" Why do you want pain? I can let you feel it," Chen Zixin said with a smile.
" Then I don't want it. I won't enjoy it," Huang Bo said.
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"Uncle, it's time to prepare dinner."
" It's time to cook. Teacher He, bring them to work. I'll go to the warehouse with Zixin to get the ingredients," Huang Lei said.
Alright, then let's go to work!" After He Jiong finished speaking, he led the group to work. Huang Lei and Chen Zixin also went to the warehouse to get the ingredients to start cooking.
At six o'clock in the evening, everyone sat together. Huang Lei held a glass of wine and said," Come, let's welcome Little Bo, Zhilin, Yixing, and Sicheng to our Mushroom Hut as guests. Cheers, everyone."
"Welcome to our house." He Jiong and the others raised their glasses." Thank you. Come, let's drink." Everyone drank up and sat down to eat." Zixin's wine tastes better. What wine did Zixin drink today? It's not the grape wine from last time, right?"
" No, this is the wine I brewed from the waxberries I picked up when I came back from the army to help out in the village five years ago," Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, it's a five-year-old waxberry wine. The taste is not bad," Huang Bo said.
" Zixin, why didn't you look for us when you came back from your vacation five years ago?" Huang Lei said angrily.
" Uncle, don't be angry. I came back to do something for Master. After I was done, I immediately returned to the army. I didn't waste any time. I only stayed at home for three days before leaving," Chen Zixin said.
" It seems like I've wronged you. You have important matters to attend to," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin smiled and said," It's fine. It's what I should do. I'd like to try the stinky tofu."
" Brother, I've already eaten a few. They're really delicious," Zhang Yixing said.
" Hey, you're so fast. I have to eat some too." Chen Zixin immediately started eating after he said that." This stinky tofu is still so delicious. It's indeed worthy of being the signature snack of the Fire Palace."
" That's for sure. The stinky tofu in Huo Gong Dian is quite famous. When you go to film a show next time, I'll bring you to try the other snacks in Huo Gong Dian," He Jiong said.
Okay, okay, okay. I want to eat that Mao-style braised pork, the sisters 'dumplings, the eight-treasure fruit rice, the triangular tofu, the Dutch noodles, and the beef noodles."
" Stop, don't say anymore. Is the money you left me okay?" He Jiong was speechless.
"Alright then! "I'll leave you some money, but I want to eat all these," Chen Zixin said.
" Pay for it yourself. I don't have any money," He Jiong said.
" Take me there, I'll pay for it myself, okay?" Chen Zixin said.
He Jiong said,"Alright, alright. You just have to pay. I'll take you there."
Huang Lei smiled evilly and said," Zixin, you've already handed over your bank card. Where did you get the money? Oh, did you hide some money too? Didn't you say you don't hide money?"
" Little Wolf, you've hidden some money," Reba said with a smile.
" I don't have it. Didn't you search it thoroughly last time? How could I have money?" Chen Zixin said.
" Then where did your money come from?" Reba asked.
" The money in the bank card," Chen Zixin said lightly as he ate.
" You, you actually didn't hand over your bank card. Hand it over," Reba said.
" We'll talk about this after dinner. Let's eat first," Chen Zixin said.
Reba nodded and said,"Alright, we'll talk about this after dinner."
Chen Zixin smiled and continued eating. Soon, the others finished their meal. Only Chen Zixin was still eating." This goose is not bad. It goes well with rice. Uncle, you can stick some pancakes next time. That would be very fragrant."
" Sure, stick some pancakes next time," Huang Lei said with a smile.
Chen Zixin nodded and continued eating. Soon, he finished all the food and wiped his mouth. Mmm, I ate pretty well today, but I didn't eat enough silkworm pupa."
" I haven't eaten enough, let alone you. It's all Teacher He's fault for snatching it from us," Huang Lei said.
" How can you blame me? I only ate a little of the silkworm pupa. The rest is in your stomachs," He Jiong said.
" Zixin, when are you going? I'll go with you. I'll catch them too," Huang Bo said.
" I'm not going to catch them. It's the breeding season of the cicadas now. We can't destroy them so badly. Eating them once is enough. We can't catch them all," Chen Zixin said.
Huang Bo nodded in understanding. Chen Zixin smiled and didn't say anything. At this moment, the phone rang. Chen Zixin took out his phone and picked it up happily. Baby Brother, what's up?"
Alright, I'll call you later to settle this."
" Alright, I'll pay for it. You don't have to pay for it. Okay, okay. That's it. Bye bye." Chen Zixin hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Zixin, why is your brother looking for you?"
"Oh, it's like this. Isn't my brother holding a movie premiere at the Shanghai Grand Theater at the end of the month? With so many people coming, he couldn't stop them from coming. Wasn't there not enough rooms for them to stay in if they didn't book a hotel? "He asked me to find a hotel for him. I'll pay for it," Chen Zixin said.
" Zixin is currently in a hotel near the Shanghai Grand Theater. There are no rooms available except for Xinfei Hotel. However, Xinfei Hotel has to book half a month in advance. They don't accept same-day reservations," Huang Bo said.
" It's fine, I can handle it." After saying that, Chen Zixin walked to the side and made a call." Hello, Little Stone, help me reserve a three-story presidential suite at the Xinfei Hotel next to the Shanghai Grand Theater. I need it at the end of the month, and the money will be paid from my account. That's it. Bye bye." Chen Zixin hung up the phone and walked back to call Brother Hu." Brother, I've found a hotel for you. It's Xinfei Hotel. I've reserved a presidential suite on the third floor. You can bring someone over at the end of the month. I've already paid for it."
Thank you, brother."
Hai, we're brothers, what's there to thank? Just get your assistant to go to the hotel tomorrow to settle the procedures. Just tell them my name and they'll know.
I know. Bye."
" Bye bye." Chen Zixin hung up the phone and sat down. Zixin, did you really book a hotel?"
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"Yes, I've booked it and paid for it."
" Then you're amazing. How did you do it?" Huang Bo asked.
" One of my comrades works at Xinfei Hotel. I asked him to handle it," Chen Zixin said.
" Your relationship is not bad," Huang Bo said.
Chen Zixin smiled and changed the topic." Uncle, it's so boring sitting here. Why don't you tell me a ghost story? I loved hearing your ghost stories when I was young."
" Alright, let's go inside and I'll tell you a ghost story. I'll tell you. Bo's ghost story is pretty good too," Huang Lei said.
" Alright, you tell me one, and I'll tell you another," Huang Bo said.
Chen Zixin smiled evilly and said," Alright, alright. Yixing Mushroom House's electronic keyboard. You can add some music later. That'll make things more interesting."
" Brother, I promise there won't be a problem," Zhang Yixing said with a smirk.
Everyone walked into the room and sat down. Huang Lei began to say," Next, I'll tell everyone a story about a bus."
Chen Zixin said,"Alright, let's add some background music."
Zhang Yixing nodded and sat at the electronic keyboard. Huang Lei began to tell the story vividly when she saw it. Zhang Yixing matched it with music, giving the others goosebumps and shouting, Yixing, turn off the music."
" Yixing, turn off the music. You're scaring me," Huang Lei said.
Zhang Yixing turned off the music, and Huang Lei continued to tell the story. Chen Zixin continued to listen excitedly. Soon, Huang Lei's story was finished and she asked,"" How is it? Are you scared?
"What are you afraid of, Uncle? Is the bus still running? " I'll go sit down and experience it," Chen Zixin said excitedly.
" You're really an oddball. You actually want to go and have fun? Don't even think about it. This bus is fictional," Huang Lei said.
" Sigh, what a pity," Chen Zixin said regretfully.
Huang Lei smiled when she saw this. Huang Bo asked, Zixin, how can I ask you how bold you are? We all got goosebumps just now."
" My uncle knows how bold I am," Chen Zixin said.
Huang Lei smiled and said,"Little Bo, let me tell you. This kid dared to survive alone in the mountains for a month when he was seven. How bold do you think he is?"
" Really?" Huang Bo asked in shock.
" It's true. When he finished his training, it was his master and I who brought him out. Other than his torn clothes, he was fine. He was very energetic," Huang Lei said in admiration.
" Heavens, aren't you afraid, Zixin? Huang Bo and the others asked.
" What's there to be afraid of? There's so much fun in the mountains. Let me tell you, if you're hungry, you can catch fish and roast them. If you're thirsty, you can drink the spring water. If you're sleepy, you can lie on the tree and sleep. I have to accept my master's assessment mission every day. Actually, the daytime in the mountains is boring. It's only interesting at night. Imagine lying on a tree, listening to the nightingales and watching the stars in the sky. You can even see fireflies. How interesting is that?" Chen Zixin said with a smile.
" Brother, you're too awesome. Only you can do it. I don't even dare to walk at night when it's too dark," Zhang Yixing said fearfully.
" I can't either. I'm scared walking alone at night," Lin Zhilin said.
" The two of you are still timid. You need to train yourselves. I'll take you to the mountains for a night one day to train your courage," Chen Zixin said.
" We don't need that. We don't have the fortune," Lin Zhilin said fearfully.
"Brother, you should play! "I won't go," Zhang Yixing said.
" You're so timid," Chen Zixin said with a smile." Isn't it only eight o'clock at night?" "If any of you come looking for you, how are you going to go?"
"Isn't that simple? "Can't you just accompany us?" Reba and the others said.
"That's right! "Just accompany us," Lin Zhilin said.
Chen Zixin smiled and took a sip of tea." Teacher Huang Bo, it's your turn to tell the ghost story."
" I'm not going to talk about it. Look at how scared the girls are. If I talk about another one, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life," Huang Bo said.
"Alright then! "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't talk about it. By the way, Teacher Huang Bo, how long is the movie premiere at the end of the month? Is it in the morning or in the afternoon?" Chen Zixin said.
" Oh, we'll be holding it in the afternoon. We'll be hosting guests in the morning. It'll last for more than three hours," Huang Bo said.
" What three hours?" Chen Zixin asked in surprise.
" Yeah, why?" Huang Bo asked.
" No, I'm not going," Chen Zixin said.
" Didn't we agree? Why aren't you going? You've already promised your brother. Besides, this is your brother's first director's work," Huang Bo said anxiously.
"But he didn't tell me that it would take so long! " The last time, I was so nervous that I almost died for two hours at the signing event. This time, it's more than three hours. I have to spend every second like a year. I'm not doing it, I'm not going," Chen Zixin shook his head and said.
"Zixin, can you not be so nervous? "We can help you there. Don't be nervous," Huang Lei said.
" I won't do it. I won't do it even if you beat me to death. If I say I won't go, I won't go," Chen Zixin said.
" I'll call your brother and ask him to talk to you." Huang Lei then called Brother Hu. Teacher Huang, you called me for something."
Your precious little brother won't be attending your premiere at the end of the month."
" He's not participating? What's wrong with him? Didn't we agree?"
" You didn't tell him that it would be over three hours. He was nervous, so he didn't go."
Give him the phone and I'll talk to him about this."
Huang Lei nodded and passed the phone to Chen Zixin. Chen Zixin said," Brother, you're really my brother. Is this how you trick me?"
" Brother, it's fine. How about this? Just go up on stage and say hello, and I'll let you go. If you want to go out and play, then go out. If you want to go back to the hotel and sleep, that's fine, right?"
You said it yourself. Don't lie to me."
" I'm not lying to you. I'll just let you say hello and you can leave!"
That's more like it. Alright, I'm hanging up."
"Bye bye."
" Bye bye." Chen Zixin hung up the phone and handed it to Huang Lei." Looks like your brother has a way to get you to go. Just go and say goodbye and leave. Go out and play!"
"Alright then! "I'll leave after I say goodbye. I'm not going to sit there nervously," Chen Zixin said.
" Zixin, you can't do this. You're nervous in front of the audience now. What are you going to do when you meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law in the future? You're going to be so nervous," Huang Bo said.
"That's right! "You can't be like this. What if Reba takes you to see her parents one day? What will you do?" Huang Lei said.
" Reba, when are you going to meet your new parents?" He Jiong asked.
"He met my parents when he was young, but my parents recently asked me to bring the little wolf back for dinner," Reba said shyly.
When Chen Zixin heard this, he immediately ran out of the mushroom house. Huang Lei and the others were stunned for a long time before saying," What's going on? It's not like you've never seen my parents before. Do you have to run away in fear?"
"Don't tell me Zixin has a nervous phobia!" We have to think of a way to help him."
" Yes, we need to help him manage it. What should we do in the future?" Huang Lei said.
At this moment, Chen Zixin dragged his suitcase in. Huang Lei saw him and asked," Zixin, why are you dragging your luggage in the middle of the night? No matter how nervous you are, you don't have to run away!"
" Are you that afraid of meeting my parents?" Reba said.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean I'm afraid of meeting your parents? Didn't your parents want to see me? "I've packed my things. I also brought a few bottles of wine," Chen Zixin said.
"Ah, you're too swift and decisive! "I only said recently, not now," Reba said in surprise.
"You didn't say? "Why don't I remember? Who cares? Let's go. We'll go early and come back early. I've packed your things. I'll get my junior brother to book the plane tickets later. We can board the plane directly when we reach the airport. Let's go quickly," Chen Zixin urged.
" Little Wolf, I said recently, not now," Reba said.
" Is what she said true? Chen Zixin asked.
" Yes, yes. Reba said recently, not now," Huang Lei said.
"Really? Are you afraid of bringing me to see your parents? So you don't dare!" Chen Zixin said with an ugly expression.
No, I'm really not afraid of bringing you to see my parents. Don't be angry, I'll definitely bring you to see my parents!" Reba said anxiously.
Chen Zixin snorted and dragged his suitcase out of the mushroom house. Huang Lei saw him and said, Reba, hurry up and coax Zixin."
Reba hurriedly chased after him. Lin Zhilin said,"Zixin wouldn't be so petty, would he? Didn't Reba say that he would bring him to meet his parents?
"Zhilin, you don't know, but Zixin is an orphan. He was raised by his master, so he always wanted a family. Didn't Reba say that he wanted to bring him to meet his parents? How could he not be excited? "Don't be fooled by how Zixin calls me uncle and Brother Hu. Even though we're his family, Zixin has always wanted a complete family. He also wants to play with his parents and act coquettishly with them, but he can't do that," Huang Lei said with red eyes.
" I understand. Zixin has been through a lot. It's not easy for him to work so hard," Lin Zhilin said with red eyes.
"Yeah! "This child went out to work when he was 13 years old. I don't know how much he suffered. Even if he was injured, he would heal himself. Last night, Sun Li and I went to see him, and he cried again," Huang Lei said.
" He's crying. What happened?" Huang Bo asked.
This Saturday is his master's death anniversary. How can he not cry?" Huang Lei said.
" Understood. Teacher Huang, can you tell Zixin that I'm going to pay my respects to his master as well?" Huang Bo said.
" I'll ask about this tomorrow. Yifei, you guys, Zixin told you, right?" Huang Lei said.
" He told us last night," Liu Yifei said.
Huang Lei nodded and changed the topic. Alright, let's not talk about this boring topic. I'll play chess with Little Bo for a while. When Zixin isn't around, the two of us can play in secret.
" Okay, okay, okay. We'll play in secret. Peng Peng, keep watch for us. If your brother comes, cough," Huang Bo said.
" Okay, I'll go take a look." Peng Peng sat in the pavilion and played with his phone.
Huang Lei laid out the chess board and started playing with Huang Bo. The others watched the match. In Chen Zixin's study room, Reba used all his skills to coax Chen Zixin and said, Little Wolf, I'm really not lying to you. I said that I'll bring you to meet your parents, so I'll definitely go."
Chen Zixin pointed at his lips and kissed them shyly. Chen Zixin responded enthusiastically. The two of them kissed for a long time before Chen Zixin let go and said, Sleep with me tonight. You know what to do, right?"
" I know, Hubby. You wouldn't dare to touch me even if I took off my clothes," Reba said.
Chen Zixin smiled and said," Help me take a look at the mushroom house. My uncle must be playing chess with Teacher Huang Bo. If you see him, don't tell anyone. Send me a message and I'll head over immediately."
Reba said,"Got it. I'll go now." After saying that, Reba ran off happily. Chen Zixin smiled and took out his phone to send a message to Liu Yifei and the others." When are you bringing me to meet your parents for dinner, honey?"
In the mushroom house, Reba walked in. He Jiong saw him and said with a smile,"Reba, you're done," Reba said." Coaxed."
He Jiong nodded. Liu Yifei and the others smiled. At the same time, their phones rang. They took out their phones and saw the content of the message. They smiled happily. When they saw that Huang Lei and Huang Bo were playing chess, they immediately took out their phones and sent a message.
When Chen Zixin received the message, he immediately jumped over the wall and ran in as fast as he could." Alright, you're playing chess behind my back. I've caught you now. No, I want to play too."
" No, Zixin, how did you know we were playing chess?" Huang Bo asked in surprise.
" Hehe, I have my own tricks up my sleeve. Don't think that you're letting Peng Peng keep watch. I'm not sure. Hurry up and end this. I'll play a few rounds," Chen Zixin said.
" Peng Peng, come in. How are you keeping watch?" Huang Lei asked.
" Brother, how did you get in? I didn't even see you," Peng Peng asked in surprise.
"I climbed over the wall. Of course you didn't see me. I was playing with my phone all day. Hurry up and play! "I'm still waiting," Chen Zixin urged.
" Go, go, go. This has nothing to do with you. Go to the side," Huang Lei said in disdain.
" Zixin, as long as you don't cause trouble, I'll buy you a few catties of good tea leaves," Huang Bo said.
" Alright, it's settled then. I won't cause any trouble." Chen Zixin happily sat at the side and watched the match while drinking tea. Huang Lei and Huang Bo heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this and continued playing chess.
Chen Zixin felt bored after watching for a while, so he picked up the Go game and started playing with himself. Seeing this, He Jiong and the others asked," Zixin, even if you're bored, why are you playing chess with yourself?"
" You guys don't understand. It's only interesting to play chess with yourself. The biggest enemy in a person's life isn't others but yourself. If you defeat yourself, you'll be very confident. Go, go, go. Don't disturb my chess game. I haven't played in a long time," Chen Zixin said as he started playing chess.
He Jiong and the others looked at the chessboard. Huang Lei and Huang Bo came over after playing chess. He Jiong asked, Teacher Huang, if Zixin wants to play chess with me, doesn't that mean he can play however he wants? Isn't that the same?"
" It's not the same. Zixin can turn himself into two people when playing chess with himself. The chess he's playing now has two styles. If I'm not wrong, this is the Nimble Chess Set from the Eight Books of Dragons and Demons that he wrote," Huang Lei said.
"Isn't the Nimble Chess Set fictional in novels? "Could it really be?" Huang Bo asked.
" Of course there is. This game was created by Zixin after he went through the ancient chess manuals, ancient chess games, and his own ideas. This guy's brain is too abnormal. He's even more monstrous than his master," Huang Lei said.
"D * mn, he actually created the Nimble Chess Set. Can he break it? "I remember in the TV series, many people couldn't crack it and were eventually cracked by Xu Zhu by accident," He Jiong said.
" This is his. Of course he can. I have to take a good look. This is much more interesting," Huang Lei said with a smile as she looked at the chessboard.
He Jiong and the others looked at the chessboard. Chen Zixin sat on the ground and played seriously with them. After a while, Chen Zixin stopped and said, Don't keep this chessboard for now. I'll come back tomorrow morning to play."
" Zixin, you didn't win," Huang Bo asked.
" What do you mean win? We're evenly matched now. I can't beat him, and he can't beat me. I haven't met such an opponent in many years. This is interesting," Chen Zixin said.
" Yeah, you're indeed a worthy opponent. You know what he's going to do, and he knows what you're going to do. Zixin, you've met an expert this time," Huang Lei said seriously.
"Yeah! " Playing chess with myself is quite interesting. Don't keep the chessboard. I'll continue playing tomorrow. I'll see if I can win using my master's method," Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, I'll put the chessboard away for you. You can continue tomorrow. I'll be studying a little, so everyone can go and rest!" Huang Lei said as she put away the chessboard and went into the house to take a shower and rest.
Once Chen Zixin returned to the study room at home, he found the Go manual and sat on the chair to read it seriously. Reba and the others came back and saw Chen Zixin and said, Zixin, it's time to sleep. Stop looking."
"You guys go to sleep after showering! I'll take a shower and rest after watching for a while, okay?" Chen Zixin said.
Liu Yifei walked over and took the book away. Chen Zixin said," Yifei, give me the book. I'm engrossed in it."
" What are you looking at? Explain the problem first. If you don't explain the problem clearly tonight, don't go to bed," Liu Yifei said.
" I'll explain the problem. What problem? I don't have a problem, do I?" Chen Zixin said.
" Hmph, didn't you hand over your bank card to us? Why do you still have a bank card? Tell us honestly," Liu Yifei said.
" Yes, hand over your bank card," Reba and the others said.
" You're talking about this. This bank card was meant for you guys," Chen Zixin said as he took out his wallet and took out the bank card." Here, this is the bank card of the City Bank. There are more than 30 of them inside. This is the betrothal money I'm giving you. Take it!"
" More than 30? Oh my god, you're too rich!" Liu Yifei and the others were shocked.
"It's alright! "This is the money I earned in France. I originally wanted to deposit it in the Bank of France, but unfortunately, there's none in the country. I can only deposit it in the City Bank. My wives, take it. This is my betrothal money," Chen Zixin said.
"Since hubby has already given us the betrothal gift, we'll accept it. You can go take a shower! "We'll sleep with you tonight," Liu Yifei said as she put away the bank card.
"You guys sleep first! "I can read the Go manual. Give me a few minutes and I'll solve it immediately. Honey, be good and give me the Go manual," Chen Zixin said.
" Here you go. Go take a shower and sleep after you're done. We're going to take a shower first," Liu Yifei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and continued to read the Go manual. Soon, a few goddesses came in in their pajamas after showering and said," Hubby, you haven't finished watching it yet?
" Alright, I've found a way to crack it. I'll try it tomorrow. I'm going to take a shower. You guys go to sleep first!" After saying that, Chen Zixin took a change of clothes and went to take a shower. Liu Yifei and the others went to bed and sat on the bed to chat.
Not long after, Chen Zixin came in after taking a shower and wearing his clothes. He said,"" Wives still awake?
Hubby hasn't even gone to bed yet. Can we sleep?" Yang Mi said.
Chen Zixin smiled, took off his shoes, and lay down in the middle. He said happily,"" I'm considered lucky to have all of them together. I've turned the goddess of everyone's dreams into my wife. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
" Look at you, you don't have the domineering aura of Young Master Wushuang at all," Yang Mi said helplessly.
"Tch, I'm not facing outsiders. Why do I have to be so domineering in front of my own wife? "Alright, I'll sing a song for you. I promised you that I would sing it at home. I've been delayed for the past few days. You don't blame me, right?" Chen Zixin said.
" Why would I blame you? Our husband went to save lives. We're so proud of him. Why would we blame you?" Zhao Xiaogu said.
Chen Zixin smiled and sang it once. Liu Yifei and the others listened very sweetly and were very happy. Chen Zixin smiled evilly and said, Don't eat papaya and those things in the future. I'll brew medicine for you."
" Hubby, you're such a hooligan. You don't think I'm young," Zhao Xiaogui said.
" Why would I? I don't care about age. I don't get married by looking at my figure. I just look at fate. Besides, there's not much use in eating. Don't eat anymore in the future, and don't believe the rumors online about men's hands. They're all fake. Alright, I'm not going to talk to you guys anymore. I'm going to sleep," Chen Zixin said and lay down to rest.
Zhao Xiaogu and the others blushed and said,"" You're really a blockhead. You're not interesting at all. We did it for you."
" Thank you. I don't care about that. Go to sleep, my wives," Chen Zixin said.
"Hubby, why don't we take off our clothes and sleep with you?"
" Don't, I was just joking. If you guys take it off, I'll go down and sleep on the floor. Yaya, you didn't say anything tonight. I know what happened. Don't worry so much. I won't misunderstand you, and I won't be angry. Besides, you're my wife. If anyone dares to have any thoughts about you, I'll chop off their claws. I mean what I say. This is also for the few of you. Whoever dares to touch my reverse scale, I'll make him regret being born," Chen Zixin said domineeringly.
" Hubby, thank you for understanding me," Tong Liya said.
" Hubby, you're also our reverse scale," Liu Yifei and the others said seriously.
"Go to sleep!" Chen Zixin smiled. Wives."
Reba and the others nodded happily. They lay on the bed and hugged Chen Zixin as they fell asleep. Chen Zixin smiled blissfully and rested.
Time passed quickly. After sending off the last batch of guests, it was finally Saturday. Huang Bo, Lin Zhilin, and Zhang Yixing stayed behind to attend the bonfire party. The mushroom house was particularly lively that morning.
Chen Zixin smiled and said,"Uncle, help me take care of the guests later. I'm probably very busy today."
" Alright, leave this matter to me. Teacher He, Xiao Bo, the three of us will be here. You can continue with your work," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Alright then. Little Daddy, Yifei, you guys bring the guests to the horse track to settle them down. I've already prepared the rooms. Peng Peng, Yixing, you two work hard today and chop more firewood. We'll probably need a lot of firewood today and tomorrow. Sister, someone will send the vegetables over in a while and you can count the number," Chen Zixin said.
" No problem, leave it to us," Reba and the others said happily.
Chen Zixin smiled and was about to say something when his phone rang. Chen Zixin took out his phone and said with a smile, Village Chief, what's the matter?"
" Alright, you guys leave the stuff there first. I'll go over and get it up in a while. Mmm, that's it. Bye bye." Chen Zixin hung up the phone and said," I'm going to the square to help out. You guys stay here and entertain the guests. I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Chen Zixin left the mushroom house and rode his horse towards the square. Huang Lei smiled and said," Then let's not idle around. Get the tables and benches up for it, and Peng Peng, you two go chop wood."
" Alright, let's get to work." Everyone laughed as they got to work. Soon, Mushroom Hut, Brother Hu, Jianing, Sun Li, and Duoduo arrived first. Teacher Huang, where did my baby brother go? Why didn't I see him?"
" Hehehe, you asked your precious brother the moment you came in. Didn't you see that we were all working? You didn't even come over to greet us," Huang Lei complained.
" Tsk, I'm here at my brother's house. What's there to say? Where's my brother going?" Brother Hu said.
" Zixin went to the square to help. He'll be back in a while," He Jiong said.
" Alright, I'll leave my luggage at my brother's house first. I'll come over to help later," Brother Hu said.
" Sure, Sister Li, put your and Duoduo's luggage in too. Zixin has already reserved a room," Huang Lei said.
" Alright, we'll put our luggage away first. We'll come over to help later," Sun Li said.
Huang Lei and the others nodded and continued to work. After a while, the door shouted,"Teacher Huang, please come out and accept the goods.
" Coming, coming," Huang Lei came out and said,""Ah De! You're here to deliver the food."
" My Youngest Uncle ordered the food a few days ago, and I just happened to deliver it today. You can take the goods. I still have a lot of things to do at the horse farm, and my Youngest Uncle will drive the car over in a while," Reed said.
"Then go do your work! "Leave this to us," Huang Lei said with a smile. Reed nodded and left. Stop what you're doing and go outside to unload the vegetables. Younger Sister, go and count them."
" How many vegetables do we have? Do we still need to unload them?" Huang Bo asked.
" Not much, just a small pickup truck," Huang Lei said.
" D * mn, so many dishes," He Jiong asked in surprise.
" This might not be enough. The guests haven't arrived yet. Don't just stand there. Hurry up and help unload the vegetables," Huang Lei said.
Everyone quickly walked out of the mushroom house and began to unload the vegetables. His sister counted at the side. Soon, the cart of vegetables was all unloaded. His sister said," There are a total of 100 types of vegetables. I calculated that there's a total of 1,000 catties."
" Oh my god, a thousand pounds. My hands are tired," Lin Zhilin said.
" We're all out of energy," He Jiong and the others said.
" Look at you guys. You're already complaining about this little bit of work. If Zixin was here, it would be done in minutes," Huang Lei said.
" He's an oddball," He Jiong and the others shouted.
Huang Lei smiled. Brother Hu asked,"Why isn't my younger brother back yet? Don't delay his visit to his master."
" It can't be delayed. Zixin knows what he's doing. He'll pay his respects at 12 o'clock sharp. After that, he'll come back to cook," Huang Lei said.
Duoduo, kneel down and kowtow three times to your brother's master today, do you hear me?" Sun Li said.
" Mom, I know. I'll kowtow to my brother's master," Toto said.
By the way, did you bring the wine I asked you to buy, Sister Li?" Huang Lei asked.
" I'll get it for you." After Sun Li said that, she went to get the wine and said,""Here."
Huang Lei took it and said,"This Erguotou is Zixin's master's favorite wine. I'll drink a few cups with him today."
Brother Hu and the others nodded. At this moment, the sound of horses could be heard outside the door. Brother Hu said," My baby brother is back." Chen Zixin walked in and said," My precious brother is here. Come and give me a hug."
Brother Hu smiled and hugged him. Jianing said, How long are you two going to hug?"
" Tsk, my sister is a killjoy," Chen Zixin said.
" That's right. What's wrong with me hugging my younger brother? I only know how to ruin the atmosphere," Brother Hu said.
Alright, then the two of you can sleep together tonight!" Jianing said.
" So what if we sleep together? What's the big deal?" Chen Zixin said.
" Yeah, it's not like we haven't slept together before," Brother Hu said.
" I've lost to you guys. Let's sit down and chat!" Jianing said.
Chen Zixin and Brother Hu smiled and sat down. Duoduo said," Brother, I'm here to play today. You have to make me tender beef."
" Alright, I'll make it for you at noon. How about you eat alone?" Chen Zixin said.
Toto nodded happily. Chen Zixin smiled and said, Brother, I'll go catch snakes in the afternoon and make you flavored snakes tonight."
" Okay, okay, okay. I haven't eaten for many years. I must eat more today," Brother Hu said with a smile.
" That's enough, the two of you. If you want to eat snakes tonight, don't do it in front of me," Jianing said.
"Sis, your home is in the northeast. There are a lot of snakes there! "Why are you still so afraid of snakes?" Chen Zixin asked.
" You're so different. If you want to eat a snake, go eat it at the side. Don't eat it in front of me. I'm scared of snake skin," Jianing said.
" Sure, I'll go eat at the side. Uncle, Brother, the three of us will eat at the side," Chen Zixin said.
" Alright, the three of us will buy it," Huang Lei said with a smile.
" Zixin, I want to eat too. I've eaten snake meat before," Huang Bo said.
" I'll add you in. Teacher He, do you want to eat?" Chen Zixin asked.
" Eat, eat, eat. How can I miss out on such delicious food? I have to eat," He Jiong said.
"Zixin, what did you help with just now?" Huang Lei asked.
"Oh, isn't the square full of lanterns? "There was a big lantern that needed to be hung up. The village chief and the others couldn't lift it, so I went to hang it up," Chen Zixin said.
" So, how heavy is the lantern?" Huang Lei asked.
" It's about two meters tall, six meters in circumference, two meters in diameter, and weighs about 80 kilograms. It's not easy for them to hang it, so I'll hang it," Chen Zixin said.
" That's heavy enough, and only you can do it," Huang Lei said. As she was speaking, a voice came from outside the door. Brother, I brought Yue 'er over."
"Come in!" Chen Zixin said.
Li Tianyu and Lin Yue came in and greeted him," Brother, I brought you the clothes you wanted."
Chen Zixin took the clothes and said," Mmm, I'll change in a while. Since you're here, do more work. Yue 'er, go rest!"
" Okay, bro," Lin Yue said happily.
" Brother, I'm your junior brother. How can you treat me like this?" Li Tianyu complained.
"Alright! "Don't make me take the blame in the future," Chen Zixin said.
" Brother, it's my fault. I will definitely work harder. I can't play without you taking the blame," Li Tianyu begged.
" It's not that I want to criticize you, but you can't even hide your private stash well. You've wasted so many years of learning and you've embarrassed my Uncle-Master and your master. Can't you learn from your father? Look at how your father hid his private stash. Your mother never found it," Chen Zixin said.
"Hehe, didn't I learn it before? " When I go back, I'll learn from my dad to keep a secret," Li Tianyu said.
Chen Zixin smiled. After a while, Wu Jin, Xie Nan, Hai Qing, Hu Xianxu, Ren Zhong, Da Linzi, Sha Yi, Hu Ke, Sun Honglei, Wang Xun, Xie Na, Zhang Jie, Li Meng, Song Zuer, Deng Chao, Sun Li, Chen He, Xu Zheng, Tao Hong, Song Dandan, Yang Zi, Batu, Huang Xiaoming, Yang Ying, Ren Xianqi, and Zhang Baizhi came to the mushroom house. The mushroom house was very lively. Wu Jin smiled and said, Zixin, let me tell you, I was forced to drink three bowls of rice wine the moment I entered the village."
" Didn't I tell you to just drink one bowl? Why did you drink so much?" Chen Zixin said with a smile.
" This rice wine is not bad. I drank a little too much," Wu Jin said with a smile.
" You're just a glutton. Why don't you girls drink alcohol or tea?" Chen Zixin said.
" I drank some tea and waited for your wine tonight," Xie Na said.
" If you want to drink, forget it. A steamed bun with pickled vegetables is enough," Chen Zixin said.
" I was treated like this last time. Why did you ask me to eat steamed buns?" Xie Na said.
" I'm just joking. There's good food tonight," Chen Zixin said.
Xie Na nodded happily. After a while, Liu Dehua arrived with another person. Huang Lei, Chen Zixin, and the others quickly welcomed him. Chen Zixin asked, Teacher Liu, this is…"
" Haha, Zixin, look who he is," Liu Dehua said with a smile. The man took off his sunglasses and mask." Teacher Zhou Xingchi, my god, why are you here?"
" Haha, I heard from Brother Hua that you like Bruce Lee, so I specially came over to take a look. I'm also his fan, so I came over to have a campfire party. Are you welcome?" said Stephen.
" Welcome, welcome. Come, come, come in," Chen Zixin said happily.
Liu Dehua and Zhou Xingchi walked in and sat down. Huang Lei said, Zixin, hurry up and bring out your good tea."
Chen Zixin quickly ran home to get the tea set. Huang Lei saw it and said, Zixin, why do you have a tea set? What kind of clay is this?"
" This is made of high-quality purple clay. I made it myself when I went to Dali. Although it can't compare to the azure clay, it's still extraordinary," Chen Zixin introduced.
" Good stuff. I've taken a good look at this. It's worth at least a few hundred thousand," Huang Lei said.
" Something like that. Someone offered two million before, but I didn't sell it. This is my treasure," Chen Zixin said.
Huang Lei and the others nodded. He Jiong said, Zixin, hurry up and make some tea. I'm done boiling the water."
Chen Zixin nodded and immediately began to brew tea. In a short while, dozens of cups of tea were brewed. Everyone took a cup and drank it in admiration. Stephen said," Good tea. Zixin, what tea is this?"
" This is a medicinal tea that I personally stir-fried. I wrapped the tea leaves with medicinal flowers and cultivated it," Chen Zixin said.
" Impressive, as expected of Young Master Wushuang. Give me some of this tea," said Stephen.
" Sure, I'll give you a catty," Chen Zixin said.
Stephen smiled and nodded. Lin Yue complained, Tianyu, you should learn from Brother. He knows how to make tea, so why can't you?"
"Wife, I'm not my brother. I'm not as monstrous as him. He has learned more than ten skills, but I only know martial arts, Go, calligraphy, Chinese chess, and car skills. Besides, my master is not as monstrous as my uncle-master! "My uncle master is monstrous. Of course, my brother is monstrous," Li Tianyu said.
"Brat, are you itching for a beating? " You said I'm a monster, so you'll play chess with me tonight," Chen Zixin said.
"Brother, please spare me! "I can't beat you. Not to mention me, no one in the entire sect can beat you," Li Tianyu said.
" Alright then. Do more work in the afternoon," Chen Zixin said.
Li Tianyu nodded. At this time, the child's voice came from outside the door," Brother, Little Yu 'er and I are here."
"Come in!" Chen Zixin said.
Little Tiger pulled Little Yu 'er in and greeted,"" Uncle, Auntie, Brother, Sister, hello. I'm Little Tiger, and she's Little Fish."
" Little Tiger, Little Fish, hello," everyone said.
Chen Zixin smiled and asked,"Xiaohu, Xiaoyu, what are you two looking for me for?"
" Brother, how could you forget? You have to participate in the dragon boat race this afternoon. In the past, you weren't around, and the first place was always from Bailin Village. This year, you're here, so you have to win first place. Xiao Yu 'er and I especially cheered for you," Xiao Hu said.
" Brother, you have to get first place. You don't even know that the little fatty from Bailin Village is always showing off in front of us. If we didn't think that he was a child, we would have beaten him up long ago. He can't beat us anyway," Little Yu 'er said smugly.
" Hey, you said that the little fatty is a child, but the two of you aren't," Chen Zixin said.
Tsk, you don't understand. I have a wife, but does he?" Little Tiger said smugly.
" Stinky Xiaohu, what are you talking about? Who's your wife?" Little Yu 'er said shyly.
" We were both engaged when we were young. How could she not be my wife? I'm telling you, I have to learn some tactics from my brother today," Xiaohu said.
" Brother, you're not allowed to teach him," Little Yu 'er said.
When Chen Zixin heard this, he covered his face and said," Go, go, go. You two brats are talking about everything. Hurry up and inform someone. I'll go in the afternoon."
" Alright, we're leaving. Bye bye." After saying that, Little Tiger pulled Little Yu 'er away.
Huang Lei and the others laughed out loud." Xiaohu is too funny. He's so young, but he's already watching his wife so closely."
" As expected, like brother, like brother. This tactic is really good," He Jiong said with a smile.
Chen Zixin said helplessly," I only said a few words, but who knew that this kid would actually flourish? I have to hold a class tomorrow."
" Zixin, I'm registering my son," Deng Chao said.
" Yes, yes, yes. My son has to sign up too," Wu Jin said with a smile.
" My son is going to sign up too. We have to find a wife as soon as possible, or it'll be too late," Xiaoming Huang said.
"Sure! "Pay the tuition fees," Chen Zixin said.
" You want money? No way. You don't have money," Deng Chao and the others said.
Chen Zixin smiled, looked at the time, and said seriously," Tianyu, come with me to change your clothes and set off."
" I know, brother." Li Tianyu said seriously and followed Chen Zixin to change clothes. Huang Lei said seriously,"" Let's go. We'll set off too."
Everyone nodded and walked out of the mushroom house. When they saw the huge crowd in the mushroom house, they were surprised. Huang Lei looked at the village chief and asked, Village chief, you're all going to pay your respects to Zi Xin's master."
" That's right. We're all going to pay our respects to his master. His master is the benefactor of our village. These are all people from the nearby villages. There are still many people who didn't make it in time," the village chief said.
Huang Lei and the others were very shocked." That's amazing!
Chen Zixin and Li Tianyu changed their clothes and came out with their things.""Let's go!"
Everyone nodded and followed Chen Zixin and Li Tianyu. On the way, Huang Lei whispered," Tianyu, why are the two of you wearing ancient costumes?"
" Uncle, this is the clothes of our sect," said Li Tianyu.
" I understand. Why isn't Yue 'er wearing it? Only the two of you are wearing it," Huang Lei asked.
" This is the rule. Our sect can only wear clothes if they are registered. Sister-in-law, I'm telling you, you don't have to kneel. You can only kneel after you get married and register your name on the sect's register," Li Tianyu said.
Reba and the others nodded and said, Your sect's rules are too strict."
Li Tianyu said," It can't be done if it's not strict. Otherwise, it won't be a big deal."
He Jiong and the others nodded seriously. Soon, under Chen Zixin's lead, everyone came to the tomb of Chen Zixin's master. Chen Zixin, Li Tianyu, and Lin Yue knelt down heavily. Sun Li saw it and immediately asked Duoduo to kneel down.
Chen Zixin looked at his master's tombstone and said,""Master, I'm here to see you. Don't blame me for not seeing you in such a long time. Don't worry, I'm living a good life. The knot in my heart has also been untied. I have Uncle Huang, Auntie Sun, Brother, and Sister to take care of me. Uncle, brother, pour the wine."
Huang Lei and Brother Hu immediately poured three glasses of wine and said," Brother, I'm here to see you. Don't worry, Sun Li and I will take good care of Zixin. Don't worry."
" Old senior, I'm Zixin's older brother. Although I've never met you, I'll always respect you. You've taught Zixin very well and he's become a successful person now. Don't worry, Jianing and I will take good care of Zixin," Brother Hu said.
"Brother, this is your favorite Erguotou. I'll let you drink it to your heart's content today," said Huang Lei.
After Huang Lei finished speaking, she spilled the wine with red eyes. Chen Zixin saw that he opened the package and took out the millet stem. Li Tianyu quickly lit the fire and began to burn it.
Chen Zixin's eyes were red. He straightened his palms and kowtowed. Li Tianyu and Lin Yue did the same. Huang Lei and the others bowed. Chen Zixin did it three times and kowtowed three times. Uncle, Brother, you guys bring everyone back. I'll chat with Master for a while and go down in a while. Little Daddy, you guys stay behind."
"Reba, take good care of Zixin. We'll go back first," Huang Lei said.
Reba and the others nodded. Huang Lei brought everyone back. Chen Zixin said," Introduce yourself.
" Hello, Master. I'm your disciple's daughter-in-law. My name is Dilireba."
Master, I'm Liu Yifei."
Master, I'm Yang Mi."
" Master, my name is Liu Shishi."
Master, I'm Zhao Xiaogu."
Master, my name is Tang Yan."
Master, I'm called Tong Liya."
" Master, my name is Chen Qiaoen."
"Master, look at him. See?" said Chen Zixin. They're all your disciples and daughters-in-law. How envious can they be? "You'll have the chance to be envious in the future. I'll bring a large group of children over to pay respects to you in the future. Alright, that's all for today. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll visit you again another day. Goodbye."
After saying that, Chen Zixin stood up and said with reddened eyes," Let's go back!"
Reba and the others nodded and returned to the mushroom house with Chen Zixin. As soon as Chen Zixin entered the mushroom house, Huang Lei asked, Child, you're back."
" Yes, I'm back. I had a good chat with Master," Chen Zixin said.
" That's good. Don't be too sad," Huang Lei said.
Chen Zixin nodded and changed the topic." I'm not sad, Uncle. I'm going to cook."
" I'll help you out. Peng Peng, go pick a few watermelons. Reba, you guys go pick some grapes. Teacher He, help me greet everyone," Teacher Huang said.
" Got it. Let me greet them," He Jiong said as he started to greet them. You don't have to greet me; we're welcome. I'm still waiting to eat Zi Xin's cooking."
" Brother Hua, you can eat to your heart's content today. Zixin has exceeded his standards today. I've looked at the menu. Zixin has made ten dishes for the Manchu Han Imperial Feast, ten national banquet dishes, and five local dishes. Also, you can drink Zhuyeqing at noon today, and you can drink the new wine tomorrow," He Jiong said.
" That's great. Haha, we can have a good lunch today. Xingxing, let me tell you, you have to eat and drink as much as you can," Liu Dehua said with a smile.
" Then I'm going to have a feast," Stephen said with a smile.
Chen Zixin cooked very quickly. He brought the food and wine over at one o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone, you can eat now."
" Zixin, can you introduce us? What are these dishes?" Liu Dehua asked.
" Orange peel beef, Four Happiness Meatballs, imperial roast chicken, egg hibiscus, fish in sour soup, baby cabbage in soup, weird-flavored chicken strips, twice-cooked pork, shredded apples, five-colored beef tenderloin, tender and smooth beef…and the braised Kirin noodles that my brother can't forget," Chen Zixin said.
" Brother, where's my Braised Kirin Noodles? Why don't I see it?" Brother Hu asked.
" Wait here, I'll serve it to you." Chen Zixin went to serve the dishes after he finished speaking."Aiya! This couldn't be compared! I'm his uncle, but I don't even get this treatment. Look at Brother Hu casually mentioning a dish, and Zixin specially made it. I'm so envious!"
" I'm indeed envious," everyone said.
" Tsk, I'm so envious of you guys. Not only do I eat my baby brother's food, but I also bring my baby brother to sleep at night. You guys can be envious!" Brother Hu said smugly.
Eh? Everyone booed. Brother Hu smiled indifferently. Chen Zixin took a big bowl and said,"" Brother, I made it especially for you. Others don't have it. Eat it with all your might."
" Look, all of you, look. This is my baby brother. He loves his brother so much. You guys don't have a share," Brother Hu said proudly.
" Tsk, let's not eat that noodle. Let's eat something else," Huang Lei said bitterly.
"Alright, let's eat! "There's still a lot of things to do after dinner. I still have to row the dragon boat," Chen Zixin said.
" Hurry up and eat. Go cheer for Zixin after dinner. Zixin, you have to get first place today," He Jiong said.
" Don't worry, I'll definitely be first," Chen Zixin said confidently.
" Okay, Peng Peng, pour the wine," Huang Lei said. Peng Peng quickly filled everyone's glasses. Huang Lei held the glass and said,"" Come, on behalf of Zixin, I welcome everyone to the bonfire party. Everyone, drink your wine and have fun. Cheers."
"Cheers," everyone said as they downed their drinks. Huang Lei said, Come, eat more. You must eat more today."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks and began to eat, exclaiming in admiration. Stephen said, It's really delicious. I have to eat more."
Everyone smiled and ate happily. After a while, everyone else had finished eating. Only Chen Zixin and Li Tianyu were still eating. He Jiong said,"" As expected of fellow disciples. Your appetite is extraordinary!"
" Yue 'er, does Tianyu eat a lot? Huang Lei asked.
" He's like my brother. He's been practicing martial arts since he was young. His appetite is about the same. He can eat 100 catties of rice in a week," Lin Yue said.
" Impressive. As expected of fellow disciples," He Jiong said.
Soon, Chen Zixin and Li Tianyu finished all the food on the table. They wiped their mouths and said," Brother, your cooking is amazing. What's there to eat tonight?"
" Go catch a few snakes and wild rabbits in the afternoon. I'll do it," Chen Zixin said.
" No problem. Do you want a poisonous snake or a snake without poison?" Li Tianyu said.
" See if you can catch a cobra. If you really can't, just catch a few vegetable snakes or black-tailed snakes," Chen Zixin said.
" Leave it to me. I guarantee I'll catch it. I haven't played it for a long time. Just thinking about it is exciting," Li Tianyu said happily.
" These two people aren't ordinary people. They catch snakes for fun," Wu Jin said.
Wu Jin, do you dare?" Liu Dehua asked.
" Brother Hua, I can do it if it's not a poisonous snake, but I don't dare to do it if it's a cobra," Wu Jin said.
Chen Zixin took a sip of tea and said,"Tianyu, come and digest your food."
" Okay, but brother, you have to use your full strength. I can't beat you," said Li Tianyu.
" Alright then. Let's not use that kind of kung fu. Let's play with Wing Chun Fist," Chen Zixin said.
" Okay, then let's play," Li Tianyu said.
Chen Zixin nodded and walked out of the mushroom house. Li Tianyu followed closely behind. Wu Jin said," No, I have to go and take a look. This is a battle between experts. I have to record it and learn from it."
" Let's go and take a look," Huang Lei said. Everyone walked out of the mushroom house to watch the battle.
