Chapter 253: Flowing Water Banquet, Trivia of the Xiong Family

This is not over yet. Google search reading

The Xiong family's parents and siblings have gathered, but there are also second and third generation daughters-in-law and their children.

Then, from time to time, there were footsteps and noise outside.

Xiaoman's sister-in-law, nephews and nieces, nephews' wives, nephews' sons-in-law, and nephews' grandchildren either returned alone or in groups of three or five.

There were also neighbors and friends outside the building who saw the movement and ran to watch the excitement.

Speaking of watching the excitement, whether it is the Chinese and foreigners in the previous life, or the aliens like Dawu now, the hobbies are surprisingly consistent.

And hearing that it is the long-lost daughter who came back to visit relatives, this rare and rare great thing should be watched.

Gu Ke had already restrained his mind and did not release it at all.

At this moment, there are dozens of women present, ranging in age from a few months to seventy or eighty years old, and they are constantly talking.

If one woman is equal to five hundred ducks, then this place is a duck farm, and you can hear the quacking.

He was not interested in using his divine sense to feel the noise that was comparable to that of tens of thousands of ducks, so he quietly retreated to the second floor and waited for them to chat to their heart's content.

Visiting relatives should be lively and noisy.

The fireworks of the world, the friendship of relatives and friends, are more reassuring than anything else.

Otherwise, like when he was in his thirties in his previous life, he would stay alone in the house and stare blankly during the holidays, and he couldn't even receive a proper holiday phone message. That kind of life would be miserable.

After a long period of noise, Father Xiong and Xiong Er stood up and began to direct everyone.

Xiaoman's return home is a big happy event, and it would be unreasonable not to have a banquet to celebrate.

Of course, almost all of them are from the lower class, so naturally they don't need the set of the rich and powerful.

They directly set up a long line of tables and stools on the street, and set up a stove and a big pot in the open space next to the building.

The skilled chefs and aunts in the neighborhood started to wash and cut the ingredients, fry, steam and cook.

Large pieces of fried pork, large bowls of spicy chicken, slices of bacon as thick as a little finger, rice wine as big as a child's face, and rice in a large wooden barrel were served one after another, making for a lively and festive banquet.

Where did Gu Ke go? Unfortunately, the excited old couple and Xiong Da and Xiong Er forgot about him for a while.

The first five nephews' wives had long been squeezed out of the core circle, and it was inconvenient to remind them.

Xiaoman wanted to say a few words, but was stopped by Gu Ke.

It was still quite embarrassing for him to jump out at this time.

Of course, the most embarrassing thing was not him, but Xiaoman and the Xiong family.

After all, he talked to his daughter for a long time and ignored his son-in-law, which was really outrageous.

When the meal started, he saluted naturally: "Son-in-law Gu Ke, meet the father-in-law and mother-in-law." Then he sat down next to Xiaoman.

Father Xiong and Mrs. Xiong Wang were stunned at first, and then their expressions were inexplicable: Uh, I seemed to have caught a glimpse of this person just now, but I was busy talking to my daughter and forgot about him.

At this moment, they suddenly received such great "good news", and the old couple seemed to have a little bit of joy, anger, sorrow and happiness in their hearts.

But they couldn't tell which one was the main feeling for a while.

Gu Ke was smiling, and his tone was as calm as before. After paying homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, he greeted his brother-in-law and sister-in-law one by one.

He was calm and a little friendly, as if he had been in this family for a long time and had no sense of unfamiliarity with everyone.

Well, after all, he had to use his divine thoughts to check this family every now and then, and it would be impossible not to be familiar with them after decades.

Xiong Da was stunned, and his mouth was wide open and he couldn't say anything: Little sister went home to buy one get one free?

Xiong Er was better, muttering in his heart: Little sister is not young anymore, why is it not buy one get two free? Bringing a son back would be neat and tidy.

They tried their best to make themselves hate this cheap brother-in-law, but the anger in their hearts could not rise.

It felt like a match was lit, the small flame rose and fell, and there was nothing they could do.

Xiong Xiaoxiao interrupted the silence first and called him "brother-in-law" crisply.

Gu Ke chuckled and responded: using the combination of heaven and man to show this sister-in-law some "goodwill" in advance, the reward was so huge.

With this beginning, Xiong Lao Di and Xiong Wangshi also recovered and nodded to ignore the embarrassment in their hearts.

After that, Xiong Wangshi pulled Xiaoman, muttering while eating, and her eyes kept looking at someone.

Anyway, blood can transmit sound, and no one else at the same table can hear it-except Gu Ke, but he just pretended that he couldn't hear anything.

It's nothing more than another "household registration check", there is nothing to worry about.

At the same time, the table was full of wine, Gu Ke vs. Xiong Lao Di, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, father and son.

He has no preference for wine, let alone alcohol addiction.

On weekdays, he drinks Rouge Zui, Taoer Niang, Zimai Jiu, etc., just like drinking juice, milk, and tea, purely based on taste and need.

Moreover, the Wuxiang Zhenjing gave him a strong physique, and alcohol in the pure sense could not make him feel drunk, not even a little bit.

He simply made an excuse to bring good wine to his father-in-law and two brothers-in-law, and asked Xiaoman to go into the house and take a large jar of Rouge Zui.

So as the martial master, the old man Xiong still drank and fell down, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er followed closely and fell drunk.

Then there were many male owners who were close to the Xiong family, who also came to toast.

He drank one by one, except that his clothes smelled of alcohol, the whole person was still the same as before the meal.

Compared with the three fathers and sons of the Xiong family who were lying there and sleeping soundly, the live version was a world of difference.

But that was it.

With the current status of the Xiong family, ordinary people could not come up to toast.

It’s not that the Xiong family is high and mighty, but he is the elder of the Xiongjia Town, and Xiong Wangshi has always been the temple priest of the Shennong Temple in the town.

Even in the last life, which family would have grandchildren go to the grandfather’s table to drink wine?

In the family, there is order between the old and the young, and the relatives are different. This is the common feeling in the world.

As night fell, Gu Ke and Xiaoman temporarily said goodbye to Xiong Wangshi - Dad Xiong and the others were enjoying the baby-like sleep brought by the Rouge Drunk.

Hearing that there was something in the fairy mountain and they would come again tomorrow, Xiong Wangshi reluctantly let them go.

Xiaoman also looked back as she walked.

Gu Ke didn’t say much, being a straight man doesn’t mean talking about everything.

Anyway, after a while, when Xiong Wangshi was willing to slap Xiaoman’s butt with a big slap, everything would be normal.

This period of time will definitely not be too long.

Just like in the last life, many people went home for the New Year. Dad and Mom asked about their well-being on the first day, cooked and chatted on the second day, frowned and glared on the third day, and then all kinds of disgust.

Staying for a month, even breathing is wrong - who told you not to have a girlfriend (boyfriend).

Xiaoman did bring Gu Ke back, but with her lively personality, it would be strange if Xiong Wangshi could resist the "slap of love".

So the "future" of a "happy ending" is almost doomed, he doesn't need to say much, just let it go.

From that day on, Gu Ke and Xiaoman often appeared in the town of Fudi, and the residents here knew that they were also working for Xianshan.

Many people were curious about what they were doing, so Gu Ke took out a thick math book - all from the memory of the previous life.

When he said a string of equations and functions, everyone who heard it was confused, all of them looked like "I know every word, but I really don't understand it together".

In the end, I asked a few residents who had been initiated into the classics to explain, and everyone roughly understood: this is like the accountant and the practical counselor, who specializes in writing.

In Dawu, people who write are not necessarily at the top, but they are definitely not at the bottom.

Just like those people who have been initiated into the classics in Fudi Town, most of them are originally town dwellers and come from the background of ordinary citizens.

Their parents have worked as accountants, small shopkeepers, etc., and then they can learn some basic knowledge of literacy, accounting, and management through family inheritance.

Among the farmers, there are top bosses like Xiong Lao Di Xiong Wangshi, but most of them are from ordinary farmers.

Even if they can easily complete reading and literacy through initiation, they rarely pick up a pen afterwards.

What is monopoly and what is class solidification? This is it.

Of course, Da Wu should be better in the future.

After all, the compulsory education in Xianshan is to promote, and not reading well = not practicing martial arts well = losing your life, and parents are watching closely.

Father's love is like seven wolves, and mother's love is like a big slap. It is better to be beaten when you are young than to lose your life when you grow up.

This also brought some positive effects. When the three Xiong family father and son get along with Gu Ke, they will unconsciously be a little more "gentle"-for example, they never challenged him to a drinking contest again, and it was definitely not because they couldn't drink.

Xiong Wangshi was also relieved. She knew that Xiaoman was a martial master in a few days.

Beating the wife is not uncommon in ordinary families. It is good for the daughter to have a little self-protection ability.

Xiaoman was speechless about this.

What is Gu Ke's strength? It is really hard to explain in detail.

Unlike her martial master, there are few great martial artists, but there are thousands of them.

The key is that he does not follow the great martial arts system, and he does not even have the blood-surging feeling of a second-round master.

At first glance, he is just a healthy beginner martial artist.

Xiaoman cannot explain to her family why Gu Ke is so powerful. There is no need.

If there is something wrong at home, she will solve it herself. If she really can't solve it, then... ask Gu Ke for help?

There is no need to show off.

Everyone has come to the blessed land. This is the greatest luck. I would not change it even if I were the ruler of the three kingdoms in the east, south and west - except the ruler of the North Desert.

Because Su Yulou is too tough and brave.

In Dawu, a country founded on martial arts, Su Yulou is the hero that most men in Dawu want to be, and his sister Su Yuqing is also loved by most women.

The four great ancestors of Xianshan, the four great fairy ladies? Sorry, this goal is too high, just think about it in your dreams.

However, after a while, Xiong Wangshi no longer thought about the possibility of "Xiaoman being beaten".

When Gu Ke was with Xiaoman, every little detail showed his doting on Xiaoman.

Of course, he might be pretending.

But Xiaoman is her daughter, and she knows her temperament too well.

It is impossible to pretend, and she really doesn't have the ability.

Therefore, even if Xiaoman mostly came alone later and said that he was busy working for Xianshan, Xiong Wangshi didn't feel dissatisfied.

Just be good to Xiaoman, and it's understandable that he is busy with work.

It's even more rare that my daughter always runs to her parents' home, and my son-in-law often asks me to bring some things over.

The one with a slightly more complicated mood is probably the sister-in-law Xiong Xiaoxiao.

She was favored since she was young, and her family environment became better and better after she was born. She was already a martial master in her twenties.

She also had outstanding looks and a great figure.

Her upbringing and nature made her not look superior and think that others were trash, but she was still a little proud in her heart.

As a result, the long-lost elder sister Xiaoman came back. Her appearance was the same as Xiaoxiao's, but her figure... was not comparable at all.

Although Xiong Xiaoxiao thought she could become a martial master in her forties.

But Xiaoman was fourteen when she was captured, and she had not yet practiced martial arts. She had not been well fed or clothed since she was a child.

In this case, she could become a martial master in at most twenty years.

While Xiong Xiaoxiao didn't have a luxurious life, she never went hungry, and she ate a lot of exotic food.

They had different starting points, and her figure and strength were far behind Xiaoman, so how could she be so proud?

And after Xiaoman came back, she obviously received unanimous attention from the whole family, so it was unrealistic for Xiong Xiaoxiao to say that she didn't feel jealous.

Of course, she wouldn't make trouble because of this natural jealousy, but she just wanted to ask her elder sister about the promotion to Wu Zun.

Xiaoman had also envied and envied her younger sister, but later she was enlightened by Gu Ke and let it go early.

The younger sister wanted to know, so she told her that Gu Ke had instructed her.

Xiong Xiaoxiao was stunned at the time.

Xiaoman was not talking nonsense, and Gu Ke had discussed with her how to deal with these things before she came back.

There was no need to keep it secret for him to be versatile and good at both literature and martial arts.

What needed to be kept secret was that he was one of the four great ancestors of the fairy mountain, and that Xiaoman herself was the "Xiong Xiangu".

Therefore, it is okay to say that Gu Ke is a master of martial arts theory.

At this point, another difference between the sister-in-law and Xiaoman was revealed, that is - they are very enterprising.

After learning that her elder sister was able to be promoted to martial arts master with the guidance of her brother-in-law, Xiong Xiaoxiao asked her sister to bring a message, and she also wanted to ask for advice.

Gu Ke was practicing hard with Xiaoman at the time. When he heard this, his hand loosened, and Xiaoman almost choked.

He quickly corrected his mistake and straightened his big ball. He was a little helpless: "You can actually tell me tomorrow."

Xiaoman rolled her eyes and muttered: "What's the big deal? Why did you suddenly let go. I have a lot of notes and experiences from my study there, and I gave them all to her. You can teach her occasionally."

Gu Ke quickly soothed her throbbing conscience: "I understand, I will arrange it, and now you should concentrate on your practice."

Xiaoman hummed and groaned, and discontentedly bumped him a few times, and the matter was over.

Because this matter was really nothing, Gu Ke didn't always watch Xiaoman when she was practicing martial arts.

Most of the time, she read books first, and he answered questions and solved doubts every once in a while, and by the way, he did a phased review and pointed out the key points for the next practice.

As long as they are not too stupid or progress too fast, it is usually enough to answer questions and summarize once every ten days.

No matter how busy Gu Ke is, he will not be reluctant to spend this little time with his sister-in-law.

When Xiaoman remembered it, she said it casually, which scared someone.

It's not that she is guilty, but her brain has been overly influenced by the Internet in her previous life, and even many idioms have been scrapped. It's inevitable that her thoughts are scattered, and she remembered a lot of sister-in-law jokes.

The next day, he took the time to prepare a martial arts schedule for his sister-in-law, and then went back to her mother's house with Xiaoman for dinner.

Well, Xiong Wang's cooking skills are definitely not as good as Xiaoman's, but it is full of home-cooked taste - in other words, it's the taste of mother.
