Boya Book School, a group of schoolchildren rushed out of the gate.
Huo Nian held Fang Qi with his left hand and Gu Yu, the fat boy with his right hand, and happily walked out of the courtyard.
"Huo Nian, I'll go and play with you when I go to Meihua Mountain tomorrow. I'll bring a lot of delicious food to the mountain tomorrow, and we'll eat together then!"
Huo Nian's new friend, the chubby Gu Yu, was a little unhappy: "Why do you all go to Meihua Mountain? We all went to Meihua Mountain last year, how about we go to Qixia Mountain together?"
Gu Yu was a chubby boy. When his family learned that the school had a martial arts teacher, they immediately signed him up.
The martial arts students get off to school half an hour later than everyone else every day, and Huo Nian has another good friend.
After hearing Gu Yu's words, before Huo Nian could respond, Fang Qi said: "Qixia Mountain is farther than Meihua Mountain, why go to Qixia Mountain!"
Gu Yu frowned: "Qixia Mountain has a beautiful scenery, and because Meihua Mountain is too close, everyone is running to Meihua Mountain. It will be crowded tomorrow, which is not fun at all. Let's go to Qixia Mountain together?"
Huo Nian shook his head: "My family has agreed to go to Meihua Mountain. If we go earlier, we won't be crowded with others!"
Gu Yu pouted. He wanted to play with his two good friends. How about going home and letting his grandparents go to Meihua Mountain? Thinking about it made him happy again.
Three good friends walked to the door of the school, laughing and joking.
"Mom, sister!"
When Huo Nian saw his mother and sister coming to pick him up, he happily let go of his two good friends' hands and flew over.
"I miss my mother and sister so much!"
Huo Nian was very happy after not seeing her for several days. She hugged her mother's waist and looked up at Ms. Yang, smiling happily.
Yang's heart almost melted, and she touched his head and face again and again: "Why have you lost some weight again?"
Huo Xi was a little speechless. It had only been a few days, but where had she lost weight again? She turned to look at Pi Xiaozi. Hey, she had really lost some weight. "Is it hard to practice martial arts?"
Huo Nian let go of her mother's waist, moved her hands to her sister, and nodded: "It's hard work. In addition to squatting, we also have to run, jump into pits, and walk on plum blossom piles every day. It's so tiring." He pouted and begged his sister for love.
"Jumping into the pit?" Yang had heard of "jumping into the pit" when walking on plum blossom piles. What is jumping into the pit?
Huo Xi didn't understand either.
"In the martial arts training ground, a row of pits were dug. The depths are different. Some are as deep as the calf, some are as deep as the knees, some are as deep as the waist, some are as deep as the chest, and some are as deep as the armpits.
There are quite a few pits in a row around the neck! Now Nian'er can only jump up to waist level. And he can't jump up every time. Sometimes even if he jumps up, he will fall back and hit his head."
As Pi Xiaozi spoke, he recalled the training scene and touched his head reflexively. The pain seemed to still be there, and his face looked pitiful.
As soon as Huo Nian said it, Huo Xi understood. This was probably to train the strength of the warrior's lower limbs.
Seeing Yang touching him distressedly, he asked him again: "You haven't squatted well before squatting on horseback, so you are practicing walking plum blossom piles?"
"We don't walk as fast as sir. He only lets us walk on top. If we walk slower, it's fine. We just can't fall down. The route we take is different every day."
Huo Xi understood immediately after hearing it. This should be about practicing agility and leg flexibility.
It seemed that Mr. Wu invited by the book school still had something to offer, so Huo Xi felt relieved.
"Where's dad? Where's uncle?" Huo Nian looked around.
Huo Xi glared at him, did he want the whole family to pick him up?
"Your father is helping the shop transport things, and uncle is giving gifts to people. Come on, let's go home. Are you hungry? Mom will take you to buy something to eat?"
Huo Nian waved goodbye to several classmates, held the hands of his sister and mother, and left. They bought a lot of food together, ate until they were full, and jumped back happily.
The next day, in addition to the Huo family, three members of the Zou family, Lou Qingyao and her daughter, plus Shen Luo, eleven people rented two large carriages and brought all kinds of food and drinks. At dawn, they set off for Meihua Mountain .
I thought I came out very early, but I didn't arrive early. There were many cars and horses all the way. I took the opportunity to come out early, so there was no traffic jam on the road.
In the middle of the day, we finally arrived at the foot of Meihua Mountain.
Sitting in the carriage, my buttocks almost fell apart. Huo Xi got down and felt that he was alive. But Huo Nian was as energetic as a bird out of its cage, looking at the mountain scenery in front of him and calling out.
"Mom, is it okay if you want me?" Huo Xi turned around and supported Yang.
Originally, everyone asked Ms. Yang to stay at home, but she said she was not that delicate, so she put thick cushions on the carriage and came slowly and leisurely all the way.
"It's okay. Mom is very kind. We were born in a poor life, and we are not those noble ladies who were raised in a wealthy family and gasped every time they took a step. Mom can now carry a bag, and can also pull a net to fish with your father. You can still work on Zhuangzi, you are the only one who is worried about that."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Huo Xi and others were relieved.
Huo Nian came over and held her hand: "Mom, Nian'er will hold you and crawl slowly."
"Okay, Nian'er is the most sensible." Yang said with a doting smile.
"My daughter also supported my uncle and walked slowly." The little daughter has been raised to be mellow and lively now, and she is very popular with everyone.
Yang thought it would be good to have such an obedient little girl, so she happily took her hand and said, "Okay, I will also help my aunt and walk slowly."
Lou Qingyao smiled and shook her head, walking on Yang's side.
The family then sent their carriages and horses, took food and other supplies, and entered the mountain gate.
Yang Fu, Zou Sheng, and Shen Luo were the laborers, and they packed all the things they brought, carried them on their backs, and carried them. Huo Erhuai helped Master Zou and followed behind.
Grandpa Zou refused to let him help him: "I don't need your help. I'm in good health. It's nothing to climb a mountain." He didn't need his help, so he climbed up and down the mountain by himself and walked ahead of everyone.
Grandma Zou laughed and cursed: "This dead guy." and Huo Xi followed him.
The Double Ninth Festival is the Double Ninth Festival. Nine is the Yang number. On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the Double Ninth Festival coincides with each other, also known as the Double Ninth Festival.
The capital has always had customs such as climbing high to pray for blessings and enjoying autumn feasts. Since ancient times, people have loved to hold activities to celebrate the harvest and worship heaven and ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival.
Later, because nine is the largest number and has the meaning of longevity, this festival gradually evolved to mean gratitude and respect for the elderly.
In today's Meihua Mountain, on the mountain road, you can often see old men who refuse to accept their old age climbing to the top of the mountain with steady steps.
He was walking so fast that both Huo Nian and the little girl were stunned.
The two children were not convinced, and ran up the mountain chasing each other. But before they were halfway up the mountain, the little girl's legs went weak, and she looked at her mother witheringly like frost, and wanted to hug her.
Huo Nian was okay. He might have practiced martial arts for a while and could continue to move up after taking a break.
Huo Erhuai wanted to carry him, but he didn't want it.
"Mom, can I call you a soft sedan?" Yang finally got pregnant with this baby, and Huo Xi didn't want anything to go wrong with her.
Yang didn't want to be special and didn't want to sit in a soft sedan, so Huo Xi found a place with a beautiful scenery halfway up the mountain, where everyone sat down to watch the scenery and eat something.
While they were resting halfway up the mountain, Zhang Fu also took his family to the foot of the mountain.
