Chapter 19 Trust that is echoed by all

After everyone worked hard, they finally made a decent lunch.

Although the rice was a little mushy, the beef was a little burnt, the vegetables were a little raw, and the seasoning was a little off.

But for the Xiao family members who were cooking for the first time and in the wild, it was already quite good, and everyone was very happy.

Of course, the most important thing was that the cooking process made everyone feel like they were celebrating together, so that everyone could be involved and not feel tired at all.

"It feels like the New Year."

Xiao Xun'er made a comment softly, and the others nodded in agreement.

Yao Chen in the ring heard the unfamiliar word "New Year" and thought about it for a long time but didn't understand what it meant, so he asked his disciples.

(Yan boy, what does New Year mean?)

In response to Yao Chen's question, Xiao Yan immediately explained in his heart.

(This was a suggestion I made to my father when I was a child. At the beginning of each year, all the clan businesses would be stopped, and all clan members would gather together to prepare New Year supplies and banquets. Only at this time, everyone didn't need to think about work or anything else, and could spend time with their families.)

Xiao Yan said, smiling slightly.

(Originally, it was just to make the family more cohesive, but I didn't expect everyone to like it. Since then, this habit has continued and it is done every year.)

After listening to Xiao Yan's narration, Yao Chen's heart was filled with envy again.

Ignoring anything else, I just want to reunite with my family on this day and spend time together.

How long can you stay with your family throughout the year?

The day set by Xiao Yan undoubtedly let the Xiao family members know clearly that they still have a home and a place to live on at least this day. No matter how miserable they are in the past year, there are still people who are looking forward to their return home and reunion on this day.

Yao Chen fully believed that even though the power of the Xiao family was a hundred or even a thousand times smaller than that of other families on the mainland, the Xiao family was definitely much happier than those big families.

Xiao Yan was born in the Xiao family. No, it should be that the Xiao family had Xiao Yan. This was definitely the greatest luck of the Xiao family over the years.

Looking at the Xiao family members who were holding bowls and laughing and making noises in the ring, Yao Chen gradually felt a little touched in his heart.

(Little Yan)

(Hmm?)

(You must cherish this scene in front of you.)

Yao Chen warned so sincerely.

Memories are precious and cannot be bought back with any amount of money.

This is Yao Chen's personal experience.

Xiao Yan also heard the emotions contained in Yao Chen's words, smiled slightly, and responded.

(Disciple understands.)

After lunch, everyone put away the kitchen utensils, took a short rest, and started the afternoon actual combat training.

During the actual combat training, Yao Chen in the ring sighed for the terrifying combat power of the Xiao family members that was completely inconsistent with the Dou Qi level.

With this level of actual combat, even if you are a fighter, you can't guarantee that you can beat these little girls and boys who are not even fighters.

It's really terrible

Perhaps it's because of the new environment, everyone is more active in training than before, and it's evening before they know it.

"It's time."

Xiao Yan stretched his sore arms, and the others were also tired at this time.

Xiao Yan waved his hand and encouraged everyone.

"Everyone hold on for a while, let's cook dinner together, and then we'll take a hot spring bath~"

"Oh!!!"

When they heard about taking a hot spring bath, the tired people became excited again and prepared dinner in full swing.

With the experience of cooking at noon, dinner was relatively simple. Everyone gathered around the campfire, and the firelight in the night illuminated everyone's face, all of whom were filled with happy smiles.

Looking at this scene, Yao Chen was full of envy.

If he was also one of the girls, how great it would be to be able to participate in it.

However, now, after going through so many hardships, I am too mature, and even if I go back to this age, I can no longer experience the same happiness as these children.

After a pleasant and harmonious dinner, everyone cleaned up the pots and pans, and Xiao Yan shed his former maturity and raised his fist with full energy.

"Now then! Let's take a hot spring bath!!!"

"Oh oh oh!!!"

With Xiao Yan's order, the young men, regardless of the fact that there were still a few little girls beside them, took off their clothes and jumped directly into the hot spring under the leadership of Xiao Ning, causing the girls on the shore, led by Xiao Mei, to look disgusted.

"These boys are really..."

"Xun'er, go over there and take a bath."

Xiao Yan said softly to Xiao Xun'er, who nodded slightly and called the girls to the other side of the fence.

At this time, Xiao Yan shouted in a voice that could be heard by both sides.

"Don't just enjoy yourself. We are here for training. Even if we are taking a hot spring bath, we should pay attention to practicing Dou Qi!"

"Got it~~~"

His words were echoed by hundreds of people, but Xiao Yan did not feel proud of being above everyone else. Instead, a warm current flowed through his heart.

The warmth brought by family is incomparable to any rare treasures, no doubt.

Xiao Yan took off his clothes, went down the hot spring and began to practice Dou Qi. After a while, he felt suspicious in his heart and said to Yao Chen in his heart.

(Senior Yao, the effect of this foundation-building spirit liquid is too significant, right?)

(Huh~ What else do you think?) Yao Chen snorted with pride, and then said, (But part of the reason is that you have a special physique, and you absorb the medicinal power much faster than others, so it is natural that the effect is significant.)

(Is that so.)

Hearing Yao Chen's words, Xiao Yan frowned slightly.

Then Yao Chen felt very clearly that Xiao Yan deliberately slowed down his cultivation speed, and the medicinal power that penetrated into his body was also slowed down a lot.

This kid.

Yao Chen couldn't help but frowned.

Xiao Yan obviously did this after hearing what he said, in order to avoid absorbing too much medicinal power and affecting others.

No matter how much you care about your family, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?

You prepared the things and found the place, so it's natural for you to take more, right?

But looking at the people around Xiao Yan who were playing with him, Yao Chen took back the scolding he was about to say.

Perhaps it was because of this that the children of the Xiao family trusted Xiao Yan so much.

Xiao Yan has always been adhering to his inner beliefs and righteousness. No matter if anyone knows or is watching, he is doing his best to be himself and do what he should do.

He really wants to complete his righteous path in this world.

Thinking of this, Yao Chen smiled helplessly in his heart.

It doesn't matter.

Since this is the path chosen by the disciple, I, as a teacher, will naturally support him to the end, and he deserves it.

Even if there is any trouble, I will cover it for him.

I am Yao Chen~
