Chapter 52: August Fifteen
The martial arts master of the City God Temple is said to be a sword-bearer in the palace when he was young! Almost five people can compete with martial arts. Since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, he has returned to his hometown to live in the City God Temple and has taken in the school God Temple to teach martial arts.
However, this martial arts master has the conditions to accept apprentices, and it depends on talent! Children are the material for martial arts. In addition to talent, it is more important to be the ceremony of apprenticeship. It requires three hundred kilograms of white flour, five hundred kilograms of corn flour, two hundred kilograms of corn, and five oceans.
In a word, it is to be poor in literature and wealthy in martial arts. Without these things, it is not possible to have materials for martial arts practice! The lowest bottom line for those who practice martial arts to eat a full meal.
Master Wu only accepted apprentices once every three years, and a total of nine introductory disciples! Just the apprenticeship is equivalent to the family’s good dough rations for about a year, but even in this way, everyone in the radius of ten miles and eight villages is like a swan, and they tighten their belts and have to send their children over to try it.
Not to mention the food for apprenticeship, even the five pieces of ocean have caused ordinary people to empty their wealth.
But learning skills is very promising, and the apprenticeship gifts sent every year are nothing! These disciples have the ability to stay with them, and they are amazing figures whether they join the army or interfere in the world. No one dares to provoke the power of their martial arts masters.
Even Director Dong is still a county master who has always served, so he has to be polite when he sees Master Wu.
"Dad, even if you have money, you may not be able to succeed in Xiaowu's apprenticeship! The assessment levels alone are not something that ordinary children can pass." Boss Guo said.
"I know that it is not that easy to become a disciple. However, this year, Master Wu wants to accept a personal disciple. This personal disciple can not only inherit all his legacy, but also do not require family background. This is a rare opportunity. Now the years are so chaotic! Even if he can't become his personal disciple, he is not something that ordinary people can provoke.
Xiao Wuzi's problem needs to be cured! When you become a family next year, you can't watch it every day and take care of it for the rest of your life! You have to take care of your own affairs and live your own life." Guo Laoniu said.
"Dad, I heard that I have suffered a lot from Xuewu." Guo Xiaowu said reluctantly.
"Hmph! There is no right to interrupt here. You can do whatever your father asks you to do." Mr. Guo scolded coldly.
"Our father is right." Guo Laoer interrupted.
"Dad, just do what you say." Guo Sier said.
"Xiao Wu's problem must be well treated! Not to mention his ability to fight, he will be able to survive if he learns the martial arts master and loses his gun." Boss Guo also agreed.
Boss Guo, Lao Er, and Guo Sier know that Dad is for Xiao Wu’s good! They naturally need support for brothers. Even if Xiao Wu is unwilling, it won’t work, and he can’t make the decision himself.
"Okay! On the first day of October, everything is ready to go to the Chenghuang Temple." Mr. Guo finally patted the board.
Two days later, on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Guo Laosan hired a carriage in the city and brought his wife who was about to get married back home! Today is a reunion day, and the family happily celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In addition to Guo Laosan and Guo Sier, the closest marriage with Guo Xiaowu, the happiest thing for the family is that Guo Laosan has become the police captain, and more than 30 brothers under him are life and death brothers who have been with him.
Now the third son of Guo Guo is famous in the county town. He swept the street foxes and gangsters in the county town in just a few days! His reputation resounds throughout the streets and alleys of the county town.
The public security in the county has risen to a new level, and Guo Laosan's ruthlessness is trusted and valued by Director Dong! In just a few days, he has become the number one police captain in the county.
The family is extremely lively. Hammerhead, who is fourteen or fifteen years old, is the eldest grandson of the family! He is also the eldest son of Boss Guo, and sat on the table together.
When family reunion is reunited, women cannot be present when father and son are together! Young children cannot be present even. Hammerheads of fourteen or five years old are also considered adults when they get married.
"Uncle Xiaowu is getting married, is it my turn?" Hammer said with a smile.
"My eldest grandson will get engaged in winter next year. Let me tell my grandfather which girl you like?" Mr. Guo asked with a smile.
"The little flower in Liujiazhuang in the east is fourteen years old this year, and next year it will be fifteen! She looks so beautiful." Hammerhead said.
Everyone laughed, and Boss Guo picked up the wine cup at the table and drank it all! He said with an excited look: "Haha, I will be my grandfather in two years, Dad! Then all my grandchildren and great-grandchildren will pounce on your arms and grab your beard! Hahaha..."
"Then your grandfather is the same as four generations!" Mr. Guo proudly stroked off his white and sparse beard.
The old man was sitting on it, his face was flushed! Although his hands were trembling, he was also stroking his beard with pride. While he was happy, he picked up the wine cup and raised his head and drank it all.
The old man is most proud of his four generations living together. He has seven sons, only the eldest son and the family have the longest face! Not only is the population prosperous, but the years are getting better and better, but the five grandsons are also more capable.
Although he is not the eldest son of his father, he cannot resist his descendants being capable.
"Our ancestral tomb has good feng shui. It's said that the ancestral tomb is biased towards me! Even my eldest son of my elder brother has also nagged in front of me." The old man's old voice was hoarse, and this pride was the happiest time in his life.
The days of reunion pass quickly. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family began to get busy. This autumn, Mr. Guo was full of happy events at home, and guests continued to rise.
Mr. Guo’s reputation is getting farther and farther away. He all sighs about Mr. Guo’s ability. Having given birth to so many promising sons, the threshold for this family is getting higher and higher.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the old man was lying on the Grand Master's chair under the big willow tree on the village street, basking warmth! He smiled and looked at his busy descendants smoking the cigarette pot.
"Grandmaster, have you given you food?" Uncle Crip Six limped out of the yard and greeted him when he saw the old man.
"Eat it, eat it! Erguotou is a big elbow, it's like the New Year every day." The old man stroked his beard and said.
"It's done after eating! It's done after eating. Brother wants me to help buy food, so I won't chat with you." Uncle Crip Six said and walked towards Mr. Guo's house.
"Busy yours, busy with yours! Hahaha..." The old man squinted his eyes and smiled.
The old man has been happy these two days. This eldest grandson has the ability recently. He has sent big fish, meat and good wine every day! I heard that he has done several happy events in a row, and this is the most comfortable life I have lived this year.
As for the descendants of his direct descendants who were valued by him, this situation was getting worse and worse! This made him wonder if the ancestors were punishing him and gave him all his official fortune and wealth.
