Chapter 1,770 Small Family

1770

This was the first time Xu Taiping heard Zhao Gangjun's name after many months.

He didn't expect that he would hear Zhao Gangjun's name under such circumstances.

The first Chinese Landlord Competition?

What the hell is this?

"That was more than ten years ago, when someone held the first Chinese Landlord Competition. Many people signed up to participate, and Duanmu Ci also participated. In the finals, we lost to Zhao Gangjun in total points. Duanmu Ci and I After playing Landlords for so many years, I beat Duanmu Ci in a single game. However, in the end, I lost in the end. It is rare to beat Duanmu Ci in total points. ." Doctor Wang said.

"Indeed!" Xu Taiping nodded in agreement. Just like him this afternoon, in some card games, his cards were so good that he could easily win them. However, throughout the afternoon, if he played by points, After all, he definitely lost to Duanmu Ci. Duanmu Ci's strongest point in playing cards is his overall view. From the moment he played the first card, the entire game basically followed his rhythm. , unless your cards are really too abnormal, otherwise, it will be difficult for you to escape from his rhythm.

"However, I still don't know about the final battle of that Landlord Competition. It is said that the decisive battle between the top three is not open to the public. The three of them fought in a separate, closed room. The three of them scored twelve games by themselves, and in the end Zhao Gangjun won the first place in the total score. I also asked Duanmu Ci later, and he kept silent about the game that day, which is really curious!" said Doctor Wang. .

"You really know how to play." Xu Taiping said with emotion.

"You can go in and let her pour out the medicine. Let it cool, and then we can go eat." Doctor Wang said.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked into the room next to Chu Tian's decoction.

Chu Tian was fanning the stove with a small fan. When she heard footsteps, Chu Tian turned her head and glanced. When she saw it was Xu Taiping, she said aggrievedly, "You feel better now. I’m exhausted from fighting landlords all afternoon.”

"This is your disease, not mine." Xu Taiping said with a smile, "If you make your own medicine to cure your own disease, then you will have a sense of accomplishment when you are cured, right?"

"That's what I said, but... I'm so tired." Chu Tian said.

"Doctor Wang said you can pour out the medicine, and then we can go to eat and just leave the medicine here to dry," Xu Taiping said.

"Really?" Chu Tian asked in surprise.

"Of course, I will still lie to you with this!" Xu Taiping said.

"Okay!" Chu Tian reached out excitedly, grabbed the handle of the medicine jar and lifted it up.

"Ah!" Chu Tian screamed, and quickly let go of the hand holding the medicine jar, and the whole medicine jar fell to the ground.

With a snap, Xu Taiping caught the medicine jar with one hand.

There was a burning sensation on the medicine jar.

"I don't know how long this medicine jar has been burning, but you actually took it with your hands. Are you stupid?" Xu Taiping said as he poured the medicine in the medicine jar into a bowl next to him. For him, Although the medicine jar was a little hot to the touch, it wouldn't hurt him.

"It hurts!" Chu Tian looked at his red right hand and said aggrievedly, "I have never boiled medicine for myself in my life, let alone been burned."

"That's great for you, you can experience both things at once." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"My poor hands." Chu Tian pursed his lips and looked at Xu Taiping.

"Stop looking and let's go. This burn won't kill anyone." Xu Taiping said, taking Chu Tian's hand and pulling Chu Tian up.

Being grabbed by Xu Taiping's hand, Chu Tian actually felt that his hand was not so painful anymore.

"Let's go eat." Xu Taiping let go of his hand and said.

"Oops, my hand hurts again!" Chu Tian said.

"Don't do it." Xu Taiping scolded with a smile.

"Pull me up." Chu Tian stretched out her hand pitifully and looked at Xu Taiping and said.

"No." Xu Taiping shook his head.

"Just a lesbian! For the sake of being so pitiful." Chu Tian said coquettishly.

"Okay..." Xu Taiping reached out helplessly and took Chu Tian's hand.

"It doesn't hurt at all." Chu Tian said happily.

"Let's go and eat." Xu Taiping said, pulling Chu Tian out.

Duanmuci's family was very large, and there were an unusually large number of people eating at the table.

Xu Taiping saw that for this dinner, the Duanmu family actually had six tables, seating sixty or seventy people, and they were all placed in the yard.

At first, Xu Taiping thought it was to welcome him, so he set the table specially. Later, he asked Duanmu Huaze to find out more, and then he realized that every meal in Duanmu's family was like this.

There are about a hundred people in the entire Duanmu family, and there are sixty or seventy people who eat at the table every day. Others are scattered around the hilltop, some are looking after the chicken coop, some are in charge of the pig pen, and some are in the house. Taking care of the vegetable garden and so on, these people can't put food on the table, but someone will bring it to them later.

During the meal, Xu Taiping and Duanmu Ci sat together. There were adults and children at the same table, and neither of them seemed to be of high status.

This is completely different from the Zhao family. The Zhao family has a strict hierarchy. The people with different identities are arranged at each table very accurately. There are also strict rules at the dinner table. If the elders do not move their chopsticks, the younger ones cannot move their chopsticks. When the elders stand up, the younger ones must also stand up. The entire Duanmu family has a casual dinner time, just like a large group of ordinary friends gathering to cook and eat together. No one is distinguished at the dinner table.

This surprised Xu Taiping. As the saying goes, there is no rule without rules. If a big family does not have enough family rules, it will be difficult for the big family to go far. If everyone treats the main members of the family very well, If you act casually and without awe, the family will break up sooner or later.

After finishing the meal, Duanmu Ci said to Xu Taiping, "Let's go for a walk."

"Let's go!" Xu Taiping nodded, and then walked out of the yard with Duanmu Ci, and then walked towards the path down the mountain.

"It took me two years to build this small road together with the workers hired by our family, but it really took a lot of effort!" Duanmuci said, pointing to the road under his feet.

"You built the road yourself?" Xu Taiping asked in shock.

"Yes, here, I can do many things and am willing to do them. Only by doing more can I not look like a useless person." Duanmu Ci said with a smile.

"To be honest, I saw something different from the Zhao family in your house." Xu Taiping said.

"Are there any rules?" Duanmuci asked.

"Yes, your family doesn't seem to have that many rules. Even the most ordinary cleaner can let you help." Xu Taiping said.

"Because our family is not the Zhao family." Duanmu Ci said.

"But if you want to develop, you must have rules." Xu Taiping said.

"What if you don't want to develop?" Duanmu Ci asked with a smile.

"Don't want to develop?" Xu Taiping frowned slightly.

"Not everyone wants to build their family into the next Zhao family. In fact, even the Zhao family doesn't want the Zhao family to become the current Zhao family. The current Zhao family is not very humane. Zhao family, because the hierarchy is too strict." Duanmu Ci said.

"That's all it has to be." Xu Taiping said.

"Yes, if a family wants to have executive power and be really strong, it must have a hierarchy and a system. But I don't want our Duanmu family to become like that. What I yearn for is the life we ​​have now, and , when I participated in the first Landlord Competition, Zhao Gangjun, the ancestor of the Zhao family, also told me the same thing. He told me that what he regretted most was that the Zhao family became such a powerful family. If If he could choose again, he would rather the Zhao family is just a little-known family." Duanmu Ci said.

"Maybe this is another reason why he has been reluctant to return to the Zhao family." Xu Taiping said with a sigh. He knew before that one of the reasons why Zhao Gangjun did not want to return to the Zhao family was that there were too many life and death incidents in the Zhao family, and Zhao Gangjun has always been alive. Every time, the white-haired person has to send the black-haired person, so Zhao Gangjun does not want to stay in Zhao's house.

"So, it was also at that time that I listened to his suggestion and gave up the plan of making our Duanmu family a super big family. It is only now that I deeply understand the significance of what he said back then. That’s right. The current Duanmu family is very good. Our family doesn’t have much money, but we all support ourselves. Our monthly expenditure as a whole family is no more than 10,000 yuan. We are basically self-sufficient. In addition, I have worked hard when I was young. With some family property, all of us can live happily." Duanmuci said with a smile.

"By the way, I heard from Doctor Wang that you and Zhao Gangjun participated in the first Chinese Landlord Competition?" Xu Taiping asked.

"He really tells you everything." Duanmu Ci said with a smile.

"You lost and got second place, right?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Well, Zhao Gangjun is first, and I am second." Duanmuci said.

"I'm curious about how the card game went that day. If you can't recall it, you can just tell me a little bit," Xu Taiping said.

"Forget it. I'll tell you later when I get the chance. It was the most magical card I've ever played, so I clearly remember everything that happened that day, including my cards and their cards." Duanmu Ci said.

"When will there be a chance?" Xu Taiping asked.

"When there is a chance, he will naturally have a chance." Duanmu Ci said, suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, we have arrived at our martial arts training ground. What do you think, let's have a fight?"

"Don't you like fighting?" Xu Taiping asked.

"For digestion after a meal, as Dr. Wang said, walk a hundred steps after a meal to keep the disease away from me. It's the same with a fight." Duanmu Ci distanced himself from Xu Taiping with a smile, and then said, "Get ready."

"Come on!" Xu Taiping smiled and made a starting gesture.

The wind is picking up.

On this simple martial arts training ground with a dirt floor, the two top three people on the Chinese martial arts supreme list are about to start fighting.
