There is a mountain in her arms

Chapter 99: Holding a Banquet for Admission to Higher Education

Jiang Yichen felt that since they hadn't been back for so long, the animals on the mountain had multiplied and become a disaster again.

With An An and Wang Quan's hunting skills, they caught three pheasants and four rabbits in a short time, and each of them was plump and round.

Grandma Jiang watched them return with a full load and joked with them.

"If we hunt so many preys every day, it would be enough for a buffet."

"Yes! Sister Cheng, why don't we go up the mountain and catch a few more every day, so that we can have a bowl of food when the time comes."

Wang Quan thought it was feasible and encouraged Jiang Yicheng. Grandma Jiang was startled and waved her hands repeatedly.

"I was just kidding. How can I let your kids do this? Just play with your own things in peace."

"Grandma, it's okay. We have nothing to do right now anyway, so let's give it a try. Maybe we can really help you prepare a few dishes then."

After saying this, she deliberately blinked her eyes. Grandma Jiang thought that the pheasants and rabbits in her space had not been consumed for a long time, so she nodded.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news."

In the evening, Grandma Jiang killed a pheasant and made soup, and killed a wild rabbit to make pepper and sesame rabbit. She tied up the rest and fed them.

When Jiang Yichen was lying on the bed, he remembered that the space had been upgraded for a week, and he didn't know whether it was completed, so he tried to enter.

Unexpectedly, this time it finally succeeded, Jiang Yichen was a little excited.

"Achu, Achu, are there any new changes in the space?"

"Master, why don't you try it yourself? See if you can control the things in the space with your consciousness now."

"How to do it?"

"Focus your mind and communicate your thoughts to the space with your thoughts."

Jiang Yichen followed what Ah Chu said and issued instructions using her mind and space. The next moment, all the watermelons around her house appeared in the warehouse.

She tried the fruit trees on the other side of the orchard, and repeated the experiment many times, one tree at the same time, two trees, three trees, four trees, and when she reached five trees, her head began to hurt.

"Master, you can't overload it yet, otherwise it will hurt your spirit. If you find other rare treasures in the future, it may upgrade the space again and give you new abilities."

Achu hurriedly stopped her, and Jiang Yichen took a long time to recover in the space.

"That is to say, my ability is still limited."

"Yes, you can't control so much overload, but you can do it in small amounts multiple times. However, there should be a limit. After all, you are still an ordinary person. In fact, thoughts are also your mental power, and your mental power is not high now."

Although I didn't understand what it said, I roughly guessed what it meant.

"This is already very good. It saves me a lot of trouble. People should not be too greedy."

Jiang Yichen was an atheist in his previous life, so he found this good fortune novel and thought it through.

The next morning, just after Jiang Yichen and his friends finished breakfast, Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Weiguo came over.

"Uncle, congratulations! Chengcheng has brought honor to you, and of course to our Jiang family as well."

"Haha! This kid deserves credit!"

"Come here, Chengcheng. This is the red envelope that Grandpa gave you. It's for celebration."

Grandpa Chi stuffed a red envelope into Jiang Yicheng's pocket. Jiang Yicheng saw Grandpa nod and accepted it obediently and thanked him.

"Thank you, great grandfather."

"Second brother, why did you call us here?"

Grandpa Jiang waved his hand with a smile, then turned around and asked Grandpa Jiang.

"There are several things. The first is to choose an auspicious day to open the ancestral temple and tell the story of Cheng Cheng's achievements."

"This is as it should be. Our Jiang family is not a pedantic family. Regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, as long as he (she) has achieved something, it will be recorded in the family tree."

"The second thing is to organize the buffet. Please help me sort it out in advance."

"Uncle, we will help you without you telling us."

"The third thing is about housing. I've said before that we will settle in Beijing in the future, and our children will go to school there, so we have to follow them. If we don't live in a house in the city, it will easily deteriorate. Haven't you bought a house yet? Do you want our house? Just give us whatever you want."

When Grandpa Jiang said this, Grandpa Jiang was somewhat moved, and Jiang Weiguo also thought it was feasible, but he still looked at his father's opinion. Grandpa Jiang saw their thoughts and continued to work hard.

"Brother, we have a lot of rooms, and the children can each have a room. We also have a vegetable garden, and it's close to the school, so you can go over and help from time to time. By the way, my store is about to expire, do you want to take it over? I'm familiar with the manufacturers, and I'll introduce them to you to get the goods, and you can also help them at any time."

"Second brother, since you said so, I will accept it shamelessly. But your house is so nice, how much should I take? I will also take over your store. Anyway, I will just sit and accept the money. When the time comes to purchase the goods, I will ask Weiguo to go."

Grandpa Jiang felt more resolute after hearing what Grandpa Jiang said, but he still felt a little embarrassed because he had been taking advantage of them over the years.

"As you wish."

"Well, I'll go back and discuss it with your sister-in-law. I'll ask the elders about the first two things you mentioned, and they'll help you choose a good day. By the way, I see you don't have much firewood at home, so Weiguo, you can take Zitao to help your second uncle go up the mountain to chop some firewood."

"Yes, Dad!"

Jiang Weiguo was willing to do it, and without waiting for a moment, he turned around and went home to get his tools.

Grandpa Jiang did not refuse this time, and Great Grandpa Jiang immediately went out to discuss the matter with the clan elders.

When Jiang Yichen and his two sons were not far away from their grandfather, Jiang Weiguo also came over with his two sons.

"Uncle, wait for us."

"Zixiao, are you going up the mountain too? Where's your sister?"

"My sister is going to school in a few days, so she's reviewing her lessons at home! They've forced me to study at home these days, so I finally get out to relax."

Jiang Zixiao is the youngest and the most favored, so he is very playful.

"Jiang Zixiao, you are so shameless. You are the worst student among the children in our Jiang family."

Jiang Weiguo got a headache seeing him showing off like that.

"Who said that? Jiang Miaomiao is worse than me!"

"That's your cousin. If you call her by her name again, I'll beat you up. Your cousin Miaomiao has someone to worry about. We can't control her, but I can control you."

"Uh-huh!"

Jiang Zixiao made a face and pulled An An forward.

"This kid seems to have a nail stuck in his butt every day. He always wants to run away. It makes me so angry. Second uncle, how do you think we can get this kid to come over?"

Jiang Weiguo complained to his second uncle, and Grandpa Jiang patted him on the shoulder.

"It might be hereditary! I remember you were like this when you were a kid, but you got better when you grew up, didn't you?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Second uncle!"

Everyone burst into laughter, and Jiang Weiguo blushed and called him Grandpa Jiang.

Doesn't he want to lose face?

"Okay, okay, it's a child's nature to play. I think Zixiao is quite smart, so don't keep talking about him. The more you talk to a child nowadays, the more he will go against you."

"He is smart, but he is not using his intelligence in the right place. He was used to being free-range before, and now he is very undisciplined. His mother and I are busy, and my parents are reluctant to control him. Now they are even more powerless."

"Uncle, you should be ruthless. From now on, if he doesn't want to study, take him to work. No matter if it's in the fields or in the store, don't be reluctant to let him go. Just treat him as a worker. When the cousins ​​come back, they just study and don't work. The family talks based on their grades."

"Sister Cheng, isn't it bad for you to cheat Brother Zixiao like this?"

Wang Quan could imagine how pitiful Xiao Baicai looked in the past.

"Dad, I think Cheng Cheng's method is worth a try, but I'm afraid you won't be willing to do it."

Jiang Zitao also thought this was a good idea. He had been staring at him for more than a month and felt it was annoying.

"Okay, let's go home and say hello to them and then try it. This kid will go to hell if we don't take care of him anymore, and we will be the ones who worry in the end."

Jiang Weiguo scratched his hair and made up his mind. Jiang Zixiao, who had already reached the foot of the mountain, suddenly shuddered. Why did he suddenly feel cold in such a hot day?

Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Weiguo took Jiang Zitao to chop wood, while Jiang Yichen and others went hunting.

Jiang Zixiao seldom followed Jiang Yichen and the others up the mountain before, but he always knew that they were good at slingshot shooting.

Today was like a door to a new world opened for him, and he kept begging An An to let him play with the slingshot.

An An shot a few pheasants and rabbits. Feeling sorry for him, he gave him the slingshot and told him the trick.

Before noon, their backpacks were already full, and each of them was holding two or three.

"Come back tomorrow. It's too hot and the animals need to rest. It will be hard to find them then."

Jiang Yichen looked at the sun high in the sky and decided to go down the mountain.

Looking at their abundant harvest, they agreed to go up the mountain early tomorrow and prepare to set the lobster traps in the afternoon.

Jiang Weiguo, who came up for the second time, was very excited to see their harvest.

"What a great harvest! It seems you guys can really put together a few dishes."

"Dad, I shot one of these. If you make me a slingshot this afternoon, I'm sure I can shoot a few more tomorrow."

Jiang Zixiao took credit for the achievement while making demands.

Jiang Weiguo thought about the life he was going to live and decided to have mercy on him for a few days.

"Okay, I'll go back and make it for you at noon."

"Yeah! An An, I'll compete with you guys tomorrow!"

"Cousin, you still have a long way to go before you can catch up with my skills!"

Watching them chattering away, Jiang Weiguo also quickened his pace.

Five days later, An An and his friends really caught more than twenty wild rabbits and pheasants, all of which were raised by Grandma Jiang in the chicken coop in the yard. Grandpa Jiang even specially built a circle of stones to prevent the rabbits from running away.

Jiang Yichen specially dragged out two big wild boars and two silly roe deer from the space, and everyone in the village came to help.

The village was bustling all day, and early the next morning many people came to Jiang Yichen's house to help, and Jiang Yichen and others were also awakened by the noise.

I originally wanted to help, but was chased away by the grandmother.

"I don't need your help here. Cheng Cheng, we have to worship our ancestors this morning, and you are the protagonist. Did you remember all the math I taught you yesterday?"

"Yeah, I remember."

"Okay, if you can't sleep, you can go out for a walk."

Jiang Yichen looked outside and saw that the sky was still pitch black.

"I'm going to my room to read."

"Oh my! He is worthy of being the top scholar. Even after graduation, he still wants to study. If my boy has Chengcheng's determination, I will sell everything I have to let him study."

The third grandmother of the Jiang family said this with a smile, and the grandmother of the sixth clan followed suit.

"That's right. Today I told my old man to burn a few more incense sticks for the ancestors when we open the ancestral temple later. I hope that the two boys in my family can also bring honor to the family."

"Oh! Sister-in-law, you are really smart. Why didn't I think of that? I have to talk to my old man later. Even if it doesn't bring honor to the family, I have to make that kid do better."

"Does this work?"

The granddaughter-in-law from the big family's hometown was somewhat moved by what she heard and asked them.

"Whether it's useful or not, it can give us some peace of mind. What if it's useful? It's rare to open the ancestral hall today."

"That's right. I'll talk to my wife about it later. Our ancestors were so great, so it doesn't make sense that our descendants would be so bad."

"Yes, yes, the first one was Wei Ping and Wei Tong, the next one was Zi Tao, and now Yi Cheng. Maybe the next one will be in our house!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone was working non-stop and talking and laughing.

While listening to the laughter outside, Jiang Yichen felt sleepy again and simply lay back on bed.

When he woke up again, it was already bright outside. As soon as Jiang Yicheng sat up, Grandma Jiang came knocking on the door.

"Is Chengcheng up yet? We need to get ready to go to the ancestral temple."

"Grandma, I'll be right there."

The ancestral hall was built in the best feng shui location in Jiangcha Village. It is said that it was to bless the Jiang family to continue its inheritance. Even though the houses in the village are very dilapidated, the ancestral hall has always been well preserved. Maybe it is a belief, or maybe it is for a kind of sustenance.

Jiang Yichen was dressed neatly, with plain clothes and a clean face, and stood behind his grandfather.

Several elderly elders of the Jiang family stood in the front, and Grandfather Jiang stood straight with a serious expression.

After they talked about a long passage about the Jiang family's clan rules and history, the door of the ancestral hall was opened.

After washing their hands, several elders personally offered tributes to their ancestors, lit the first incense stick, and then sang and recited a long passage.

After Grandpa Jiang finished offering incense, Grandpa Jiang stepped forward to offer incense.

Jiang Yicheng didn’t understand what he said, but she understood the last sentence, “Jiang Yicheng, granddaughter of Jiang Desheng, the 72nd generation grandson of the Jiang family.”

As soon as Grandpa Jiang walked to the side, he immediately stepped forward, lit three incense sticks, bowed devoutly, inserted them in the incense burner, and knelt down to kowtow.

After all the procedures were completed, firecrackers were heard outside. Everyone congratulated Grandpa Jiang, and the smile on Grandpa Jiang's face had never been so happy as today, and Jiang Yicheng saw it in his heart.

"Thank you all for coming today. I hope you enjoy your meal and drink."

"it is good!"

The whole village surrounded Grandpa Jiang and took him home. When Jiang Yichen returned early, the house had changed a lot.

The yard had already been cleared and filled with tables. Everyone sat at the door, and there were also two tables in the main room.

Everybody gathered together and expressed their envy. The gift receiver was busy keeping track of the account and didn't even have time to look up. The gifts everyone gave today were all very generous.

The first is to become rich, the second is to thank Grandpa Jiang for his help, and the third is to do well in the future for the family, and everyone is in harmony.

Today's banquet can be said to be the best in the surrounding area.

Several meat dishes were made from the two pigs, including pheasant, rabbit, and roe deer meat, which was difficult for them to eat.

Fish is indispensable, and there is also a fruit platter, which makes the meal more upscale and everyone enjoys the meal very much.

The house was bustling for three days in a row, and my second uncle's family was also delayed for three days. They couldn't wait until the evening, so they hurried back to the city in the afternoon.

On the fourth day, Grandpa Jiang took advantage of Grandpa Jiang not leaving yet to tell him the result of their discussion.

They bought Jiang Yichen's house at the current second-hand price, which was about three thousand five hundred yuan.

Grandpa Jiang felt sorry for his eldest brother, so he only took the original 2,000 yuan. He also said that all the furniture and quilts in the house would be given to them because they couldn't take them to Beijing either.

Grandpa Jiang was trembling and unable to speak. He felt that he owed his second brother more and more.

"Brother, we are brothers!"
