After another night of sleeping in the wild, Ah Da and the others finally saw the shadow of the village before noon. Shi Wu's mouth was exploded by chestnuts yesterday, and it is still swollen. He is now more sure that he and Ah Siba are the same.

We disagreed, so I wanted to go to Wuyou Valley as soon as possible. After the cold illness was cured, everyone went back to their homes, and the world disappeared.

Ah Si saw Shi Wu's swollen lips and apologized again: "Ah Nuan, I really didn't mean it. I just wanted you to be frightened by the roasted chestnuts. I didn't know you were so eager to bite it."

Why don't I help you change your shape again and become more powerful?"

"It's okay, I don't want to be tricked by you again." Shi Wu could not speak clearly now, and his lips hurt when he spoke.

Ah Dadao: "Okay, let's go to the village ahead and buy some steamed buns to take with us."

Ah Si said: "I don't know if there are many people in the village ahead, otherwise I can still make some money by selling some art."

Ah Da had a headache when he heard this. Ah Si hasn't forgotten about performing arts.

Shi Wu had an indifferent expression on his face. After all, he was the one getting paid even if he was performing. He couldn't be allowed to perform a show where he held a gun to his throat and smashed rocks in his chest. Then he wasn't asked to perform a show, but he was asked to perform a show.

The technical work of reincarnation.

Near the entrance of the village, Ada and the others heard the sound of gongs and drums in the village. When they entered the village, they were surrounded by a group of people. However, it was different from being surrounded by those with knives and guns. The three of them

One was surrounded by dishes from the villagers.

While Ada and the others were still confused, an old man who looked like a mother-in-law came forward with a medium-sized round plate and said: "Three foreign guests, would you like to come to my house?"

Before Ah Da and the others could answer, another woman dressed as a woman came over with a bigger plate and said: "Go to my house, go to my house, my house has prepared a lot of food today, and we are just waiting for the guests to come."

Just when these villagers were pulling Ah Da and Ah Si to let them go to their homes, a little boy of five or six years old with a runny nose took a small plate in his hand, gently tugged on Shi Wu's sleeve and said

: "Brother, come to my house as a guest. My father and mother have prepared many winter solstice dumplings and are waiting for the guests to come and eat."

Shi Wu hunched over and asked the little boy, "What are you doing?"

The little boy whispered in Shi Wu's ear: "I will tell you if you promise to visit our house."

It was the first time Shi Wu saw someone rushing to invite someone to dinner, so he was curious and agreed: "Okay, you can say it."

When the little boy saw that Shi Wu had agreed, he laughed and said: "Brother, we in Hejia Village have always had a tradition. Before the winter solstice, if there are foreign guests at home, they will be blessed in the coming year. The more people who come, the better.

The bigger it gets.”

Looking at the little boy's confident eyes, Shi Wu thought he was cute and asked, "What's your name?"

The little boy said: "My name is He Xiaoshan, I am six years old this year." As he said that, he counted with his fingers. After making sure that he was right, he nodded again.

Shi Wu said to Ah Daodao: "Grandpa Ah, let's go to Xiaoshan's house for dinner."

"No, their family is poor and they don't have much food at all. Our family must have more food than theirs. Let's go to our house." When the woman dressed as a woman heard that Shi Wu was going to He Xiaoshan's house, she immediately stopped.

Very happy.

When the woman said this, He Xiaoshan snorted in grievance, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing that Shi Wu had already agreed, Ah Da rejected the villagers who came up and said, "My junior has already promised to others, so I'll thank you all in advance."

When those people saw that they had no hope for Ah Da, a pock-marked woman began to murmur: "These three don't look like lucky people, especially the ugly-faced man.

He's just an unlucky guy." As soon as she said this, the villagers who had not invited Ah Da and the others to their home as guests were also there to help scold Ah Si.

Shi Wu laughed after hearing this. Even though he was against Ah Si like this, he felt wronged for Ah Si. Of course Ah Si would not be serious with these villagers, but a little teasing was unavoidable.

At this time, someone came from the other side of the village and shouted: "There are foreign guests coming to the village over there again." I think people in the nearby villages and towns know the customs of Hejia Village, so there will be a lot of foreigners here today.

When the villagers heard that another foreign guest had arrived, they hurriedly ran to the entrance of the other village. Just now, when the snarky pock-marked woman was squeezing with the other women, she was caught in the heel by Ah Si's white energy.

, and made a big salute directly towards the entrance of another village.

Ah Si laughed and said: "It seems that there are some very lucky people coming over there, and they fell into despair before they even saw them."

After hearing this, the people in the village also laughed at the pock-marked woman. The pock-marked woman's face turned blue and red. She couldn't say bad words today, so she could only give the ugly-faced Si a fierce look, and then ran away.

She went to the entrance of another village. Rather than being laughed at, she didn't want to be unable to welcome any guests today.

Ada and the others followed He Xiaoshan to a remote country road and came to two thatched houses.

Seeing that He Xiaoshan actually brought back a guest, the young woman with patches on her clothes who was still busy said: "Xiaoshan, are you lying to me?"

He Xiaoshan put the small plate on the old wooden table and hurriedly explained: "Mom, I didn't lie to them. This little brother said that as long as I tell him why so many people want them to come back as guests, he will

Come back with me."

Shi Wu also helped He Xiaoshan and said: "Auntie, Xiaoshan really didn't lie to us. Today is the winter solstice. I wish the auntie and her family good luck in the coming year and a happy family."

Seeing that Shi Wu was so good at talking, the young woman bowed and thanked him: "Then I accept the young master's good advice. I have nothing to prepare at home, so I made some winter solstice group with my men. You sit down first, I will help you right away.

Serve it out."

As soon as he heard about the Winter Solstice group meal, He Xiaoshan wiped his nose and sat at the table with a look of anticipation.

This was also the first time Shi Wu had heard of the winter solstice dumplings, and he didn't know how they tasted.

On the other hand, Ah Da and Ah Si looked like they would eat whatever they wanted. On the contrary, these two innate warriors were the least fussy about what they ate.

A young man with dark skin came out of the Winter Solstice group. He must be He Xiaoshan’s father. Ah Da and Ah Si clasped their fists and said, "Sorry for bothering you."

The young man gave the three large bowls of winter solstice dumplings that he brought out first to Ah Da and the others, and then returned the greeting: "He Qi, thank you very much for coming to my humble house as a guest. I didn't treat you well. These winter solstice dumplings were made by my wife and I in the morning."

Made of ground glutinous rice flour, there are meat fillings, sugar fillings, vegetable fillings, fruit fillings, shredded radish fillings, and jujube fillings. The auspicious number six is ​​chosen to make the guests laugh."

Ah Dadao: "Where can I eat your Winter Solstice dumplings? It's a blessing for us. You will definitely have good luck in the coming year."

He Qi smiled and said: "I accept your kind words."

At this time, He Qi's clothes were grabbed by He Xiaoshan and said, "Dad, where is mine? Xiaoshan is also hungry."

He Qi touched He Xiaoshan's head and said: "You kid, of course the guests will eat first. Your mother is already cooking for us. It will be ready soon."

He Qidao: "You three, please use it slowly. I'll go to the kitchen to see if my wife needs any help."

Ah Dadao: "If you please, we won't be polite."

With that said, Ah Da and the others started eating. He Xiaoshan looked at the six large winter solstice dumplings in Shi Wu's bowl and swallowed greedily.

Shi Wu was still blowing hot air. When he saw the look He Xiaoshan cast, he smiled and said, "Would you like to do it first?"

He Xiaoshan waved his hand and said: "No, my parents said, this is the Winter Solstice dumpling prepared for you, you can eat it. Mine will be here later."

Shi Wu thought that this was also the rule of Hejia Village, so he had to say: "Then I will eat first."

"Yeah." He Xiaoshan was already very greedy, but he still endured it. In fact, it is okay for He Xiaoshan to eat the winter solstice dumplings in the Shiwu bowl. There are no rules in this regard in Hejiacun. It's just that He Xiaoshan kept his father in mind.

His mother told him to treat guests politely. He felt that eating food prepared for guests was rude to them.

Shi Wu looked at the six large dumplings in the bowl and ate the fourth one without hesitation. When he took a bite, it was filled with candied dates. The glutinous rice skin on the outside of the dumplings was tender and elastic, and the candied dates inside were even sweeter.

Shi Wu liked it very much.

Seeing that Shi Wu was eating the fourth one from the beginning, Ah Si felt that Shi Wu was childish, but he was not much better, so he directly picked up the fifth one with chopsticks and ate it, but when he bit it down, it was still just minced meat.

Ah Si used to eat mostly air-dried meat. It was the first time he ate dumplings stuffed with soy sauce meat. At first, he thought the taste was a bit strange. But when the sauce gravy started to stimulate the taste buds in his mouth, he couldn't help but eat it.

Get up. The texture of the sauced meat and the glutinous rice skin outside is really good. This is due to the fact that Mother He Xiaoshan started grinding the glutinous rice flour carefully when she got up early in the morning. Other families may have prepared a lot of other foods, but when it comes to this winter solstice

Tuan, the He Xiaoshan family's level of care is definitely ranked first in Hejia Village.

Ah Da was not as naive as them, and he was worthy of being the one who ate too much of Shi Lintao's food. Before eating, he blew on the winter solstice dumpling soup in the bowl, took a sip to warm his stomach, and then picked up the nearest one.

The winter solstice dumplings started to be eaten. He bit into the vegetable fillings. These vegetables were freshly picked by He Qi from the fields in the morning. Ada also liked this refreshing taste and finished one dumpling in two or three bites.

Seeing that all the guests had eaten, He Xiaoshan felt very happy. Because it was he who brought these three guests to his home, their family will definitely be full of blessings next year.

At this time, He Qi and his wife also came out with three bowls of winter solstice dumplings. He Xiaoshan almost cried with greed. When her mother brought it over, she took a small bite first without being too hot. What she ate was also sweet jujube.

stuffing, which makes him feel that life will be sweeter next year.

There was an occasional cold wind blowing outside, and the six of them at the table were happily eating Winter Solstice dumplings in the room. They were very happy.

After lunch, Ah Da and the others were about to leave. Seeing how embarrassed He Qi's family was, Ah Da asked why.

He Qi said: "Our Hejia Village's habit is to keep guests until the You hour. At that time, the guests can leave or stay. If you leave early, your luck will be gone very early next year. But if the three of you are in an emergency, it doesn't matter.

Yes, we are just asking for a lucky break."

That's what He Qi said, but He Xiaoshan was a little anxious. For so many years, no guests had come to their house for dinner on the winter solstice. Now, finally, three people came here who didn't dislike them. How could they just leave without saying anything?

Seeing this, Ah Da asked Ah Si and Shi Wu what they meant, and they both said it didn't matter. They would just leave after Youshi. It happened that they could take a rest now that they were full.

Ah Da also told He Qi to stop disturbing the meeting.

He Qi said with a smile on his face: "Thank you very much."

Shi Wu and He Xiaoshan were not much different in age, so they got acquainted quickly. But it was Ah Si who was more familiar with He Xiaoshan. Although he looked ugly now, he was very good at playing tricks, and he quickly

He Xiaoshan laughed out loud. On a whim, Ah Si taught He Xiaoshan a basic set of boxing techniques for him to use to strengthen his body.

He Xiaoshan looked at Ah Si, who was doing extremely powerful and beautiful moves, and admired him even more in his heart.

He Qi saw Ah Si's boxing skills and asked Ah Dao, who was drinking hot tea next to him: "Is your nephew a martial artist?"

Ah Da smiled and said: "He has practiced boxing for several years. When our family is traveling and practicing medicine, we will inevitably encounter some strong men, and we all rely on his protection."

After hearing this, He Qi felt that it was very reasonable, so he continued to chat with Ah Da. Ah Da found that He Qi also looked like a man who had studied for several years, and asked him why he didn't take the meritorious examination.

He Qixiao said that at that time, he failed the scientific examination many times, and his family was urging him to get married. When he wanted to take the examination again, he found that his wife was pregnant with Xiao Shan. In order for his family to have a stable life, he gave up the scientific examination.
