Chapter 203: One is willing to fight, the other is willing to be beaten
The five children came down from the lookout tower. The adults had finished their discussion and had almost finished their drinking.
When he learned that he would soon have a few more masters, even though Tianbao had no desire in his heart, he opened his mouth in surprise, let alone a few boys.
Are the uncles really talking nonsense while drunk?
The children stood beside the stone table, looking at the four drunk adults with faces full of surprise and confusion.
The bearded man leaned back in his chair, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had been drunk. His face, hidden beneath his beard, showed no expression. "You've already learned the best martial arts. There's Huo Ziheng for literature, and Old Duwu for medicine and poisons. I'm naturally not as good as him in these areas, but the Twelve Piers are not without their strengths. Follow me, and you can travel the world, run a ship, or engage in business... It's your choice."
As soon as he finished speaking, someone jumped out, completely contrary to the expected silence, "Uncle with the big beard! Me! Me!"
The bearded man opened his eyes and saw Su An running up to him. The young man's handsome face was filled with excitement and joy. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, merchants have the lowest status. Have you thought about it?"
Su Anquan didn't care, grinning, "I've made up my mind! Not to mention that I'm an exile now, even if I were an ordinary citizen, I wouldn't change my mind! Uncle Beard, I really like doing business!"
Du Buqin, who was sitting next to him, kicked the boy on the butt. "What uncle? Call me Master!"
Su An's eyes moved slightly, his smile became wider, and his voice was loud and crisp, "Godfather!"
Adults and children were amused by his shameless act of taking advantage of the situation.
The bearded man sat up straight, staring at the brat, with the corner of his mouth curved under his beard.
Compared to the Bai family, he is not wealthy enough.
Compared to Bai Xiaofeng, he doesn't have many skills.
Compared with Huo Ziheng, he is even less intelligent.
No matter what, someone will still choose him.
This brat...ok.
The rest is needless to say. Bai Kui has a wide circle of friends, and his Liangjifang is always recruiting masters to challenge him, which is exactly what Su Wu likes. The boy took the opportunity to attack him.
Bai Xiaofeng is proficient in disguise and mechanical engineering, and has a huge intelligence network. Bai Yusi pulled Tianbao over with him.
Su Wen was not very interested in these things. He was determined to pursue a literary career and planned to continue studying knowledge and articles with his teacher.
Before leaving the headquarters, the children each chatted with their new master.
"Godfather, are you really going to teach us disguise and mechanical skills?" After sending Bai Xiaofeng to the carriage outside the dock, Bai Yu asked again while holding the window before leaving.
Bai Xiaofeng tilted his head, looking at the pretty face pressed against the car window, and raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so talkative? You've had so many plans for accepting me as your godfather, and now that I've granted you your wish, you're hesitant?"
"I'm naturally overjoyed to learn skills from godfather." Bai Yu's playful face turned serious. He never thought his little plans could be hidden from his godfather. "But my little plan is simply to hope that the north and south cities can get along harmoniously and unite as one in the future. Godfather, disguise and mechanical engineering are both unique skills. I know that such skills are usually only passed down to close relatives. I'm worried that godfather will worry more if he has children in the future."
He paused and then said seriously, "Since I've accepted you as my godfather, even if you don't teach me anything, Bai Yu will still respect and cherish you in this life! Tianbao is quiet and indifferent, but she values friendship more than I do. The Xiao Su family has a very good family tradition, and godfather knows it, so there is no need to worry. Tianbao and I don't want godfather to force it."
Tianbao was young and short, and couldn't reach the car window even on tiptoe. Angry, he simply jumped up, hooked his little hands, and hung outside the car window, squeezing his little head next to Bai Yu.
Just nodded with a tiger face.
Bai Xiaofeng stared at the two delightful little faces before him. After a moment, his thin lips curled up, and he tapped each forehead with a finger. "Who in this world is worthy of my mortal world? I've already accepted you as my godparents, and I've accepted you as my disciple. Let's stop the nonsense and start teaching after the New Year."
The carriage sped away.
Bai Kui and Du Buni then stepped out from the back.
Du Buqin put his hands on his hips and glared at him, "Did you plan this all along? You've paved the way for little Bai Yu again. You're so cunning and sly."
Bai Kui smiled brightly, "Old Poison, you're wrong. The children are in their prime, and it's the elders' responsibility to pave the way for them. Isn't that what Old Poison is thinking about?"
No one is a pure white lotus.
Today's battle of recognizing a master and accepting a disciple is nothing more than a matter of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten.
A few children gathered together again to play and fight, and waves of laughter floated outside the dock, spreading freely and unrestrainedly.
A smile appeared on Du Buqu's triangular eyes, and he agreed with Bai Kui's words.
Bai Yu grew up in a big dye vat, and he has been influenced by his father and has a lot of thoughts since he was a child, but he has inherited some of his father's courage and knows what is important.
Needless to say, he knows the Su family's boys best.
Although the Xiao Su family is a small farming family, they have a very positive family tradition. The elders are kind and generous, and they know how to repay kindness.
Even though his status is humble and his life is as low as an ant, he has never lost his ambition and character, and he will not tolerate any dust in his eyes.
This is also one of the reasons why the leaders of the three forces accepted them.
The old man was very relieved!
"Guys, let's go! Go home! Get ready for the New Year!"
As soon as the old man called out, the young ones immediately responded and ran towards home in a lively manner.
Bai Kui stood there for a long time, watching the figure gradually walking away, his face relaxed.
The winter wind is so cold that it hurts my skin, but it cannot suppress the good mood in my heart.
With such good partners, Yuer has a bright future ahead of her.
He was glad that he had not taken the wrong path from the beginning.
Among the three major forces, the Bai Mansion suffered the least losses.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The hearty laughter drifted on the wind and blew into the stone fortress from afar.
The bearded man was still sitting at the stone table, with several wine jars piled up on and under the table, tilted here and there.
He listened to the laughter, snorted, and slammed his hand on the table, "Come here! Bring me more wine! I'm having a great time today, I have to get drunk!"
The New Year is approaching, and Tubei Village is already filled with joy.
Red spring couplets and window decorations are posted on the doors and windows of every thatched house in the village, inside and outside the courtyard.
The red paper was brought by the young master of the Yangbai family, the words were written by Mr. Huo, and the window paper-cuts were cut by the women in the family themselves.
Those who are more skilled can make a few red lanterns with reed stalks and red paper and hang them under the eaves of the main hall.
The atmosphere of the New Year is extremely strong.
Xiao Su's family also put up Spring Festival couplets and window decorations, and decorated Du Lao's yard as well.
The women in the family are particularly busy at this time, and they keep working non-stop to prepare food for the New Year.
In the past two years, our family's situation has been getting better and better. We are now self-sufficient in rice, and the vegetables from the vegetable garden can be eaten year-round. In spring and autumn, we can also catch a lot of fat river shrimps and fish from Qinghe River with the villagers.
As her family's situation improved, Mrs. Su no longer allowed her granddaughter to take food from outside.
For farmers, being able to live like this now is a great satisfaction.
Life is better than when I was in Dahuai Village.
"Grandma! The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and it's time to celebrate the New Year! It should be lively during the New Year. How about we take you and the elders to visit the inner city?" Su Wu poked his head out from the kitchen with a playful smile.
In the kitchen, the sounds of chopping vegetables, plucking firewood, and stirring the wok suddenly stopped.
The women all looked up at Su Wu with murderous eyes.
