"Everyone, turn back!"

"Everyone, turn left!"

"March in step..."

"Run forward..."

On the small training ground of Xiaonangou, the engineering apprentices who were taking physical education classes were being trained hard by Chen Erkui. Chen Erkui was a former member of the Chen family's "Martial Arts Team". He was stabbed in the stomach during a gunfight. Although he was lucky enough to survive, his body was not good. For people like him, including the disabled, according to the Chen family's practice, there are two ways out. One is to be raised by the Chen family, and the other is to participate in the Chen family's industry.

If you can't do heavy work, then do easy work. If you can't be a shopkeeper, then be an accountant. If you can't be an accountant, then be a buyer.

But Chen Erkui is a special species who can't do buying well. He can't fit a number in his brain. He gets a headache when he sees the account book. For people like him, the Chen family could only throw him back to Xiaonangou and let him take a position in the guard team of Xiaonangou.

Now he was hired by Chen Ming to be a physical education teacher of the engineering school. Of course, the title is not what it means. Nowadays, the Chinese teacher is still a very sacred title. Chen Erkui is called a teacher.

By the way, although Chen Erkui and Chen Erbao have similar names, there is no blood relationship between them. Chen Erkui's elder brother is called Chen Dakui, and Chen Erbao's elder brother is called Chen Dabao.

Chen Ming only taught Chen Erkui a few very simple movements, which was far from letting him do recruit training: stand at attention, at ease, look to the right, march in step, run in step, and stand straight.

This is the consciousness that Chinese teenagers in the 21st century have been instilled little by little in their long school career, so the large gathering of Chinese middle school students on the playground when doing radio gymnastics can make foreigners dumbfounded.

The speed and neat formation, those who don’t know would think it is the army.

Students of engineering cannot be called students. Students are the title of scholars. In the eyes of the entire Chen family, they are just apprentices. Their future position can only be buried in the gold and silver account books and money-making business.

These children have good adaptability. Physical education classes are held every two days. In just a few days, they have stood in line like a real person. They have also learned to line up for meals every day, and they have learned to tidy up their housework before getting up in the morning to run exercises.

Of course, it is impossible to fold the quilt into tofu blocks, but it must be neat, and the clothes must also be neat and clean.

In just ten days, the mental outlook of these children has been completely renewed. Unconsciously, the petty family spirit of these farm children has also dissipated a lot.

Today's school field is covered with a layer of white snow, but physical education classes must be held as usual. In the hearts of these children, physical education classes are the rare time to relax in their new life. In the one-hour physical education class, after the initial marching, standing in line, and running in unison, at least three-quarters of the time is spent by them playing. Although the venue can only be limited to the school field.

Chen Ming prepared a football for them, which was blown up with a cow's cell and sewn with a thin layer of leather. This was the method of making Cuju leather balls in the Song Dynasty, and it is now the best method Chen Ming can think of.

Using modern football rules as the rules, Chen Ming was a football fan in his previous life, so it was not difficult to make rules.

As the world's number one sport in the 21st century, Chen Ming believes that the charm of football is absolutely high, but he does not believe that everyone will like football, just like his parents in his previous life. He prefers basketball and badminton.

It was just that in this era of lack of entertainment, the emergence of football soon caused a sensation in Xiaonangou. The engineering students played it twice in the school field, and the young children of the Chen family in Xiaonangou and the craftsmen in the workshop started playing.

Chen Ming then launched basketball, which was also warmly welcomed.

Even the old people stood by the school field with a smile in the cold wind in the mountains and watched the excitement. And football and basketball soon spread from Xiaonangou to Tumenji. Chen Erbao's group of people like to play these two sports that can vent their vigorous energy. And because of the win or loss of the game, they quickly thought of opening a betting market. When Chen Ming returned to Tumenji from Xiaonangou, the betting market had already become popular in Tumenji.

Chen Ming is not a moral purist, so gambling is gambling, he doesn't care about this. Chen Ming cares about the manipulator behind the scenes. In the battle between Chen Erbao and Qingtiaoling, Qingtiaoling didn't die five people, but fifteen people, three were captured, and only four people fled into the forest in a panic.

There were 22 people in Qingtiaoling, and the Chen family didn't send many people, only 21 people. But the latter had breastplates and bird guns, and they held steel knives and steel guns [spear heads] in their hands. The value of the weapons was ten streets ahead of Qingtiaoling. The manpower of both sides was equal, but the result of the fight was that Qingtiaoling was defeated.

The Chen family killed 18 people, and the price they paid was only three people were not seriously injured.

Just as the Chen family thought, Qingtiaoling, which had suffered a great loss, could not strike the Chen family for revenge in a short period of time, so it took action against the instigator behind the scenes.

"Second uncle, whose family is it?" Chen Ming looked at the face of his cheap second uncle and the tone of his voice, and felt that the mastermind behind the scenes should have been caught. But it might be very difficult.

"The Guan family in Zhuge Temple Town!"

"Zhuge Temple Town?" Chen Ming frowned. He had an impression of this place. "It's in Baofeng County, by Pingxi Lake!"

What flattens the West Lake is the Baiguishan Reservoir in the 21st century. Zhugemiao Town is the urban location of Pingdingshan City after its establishment. When Chen Ming looked at the map at this time, he paid special attention to that place.

"That's the place. The Guan family is a family of officials. Guan Lin, the second son of the old man of the Guan family, was a scholar in the last two subjects [the 24th year of Qianlong] and is now an evangelist in Lanyang County, Kaifeng Prefecture. The father of the old man Guan is [In the first year of Yongzheng's reign] Guimao Enke's top three Jinshis were promoted to the same rank in the state, and he became an official with the sixth grade. "

"Thousands of acres of land on the north bank of Pingxi Lake belong to the Guan family. The Guan family wants money and power, which is difficult to deal with." Chen Cong's eyes flashed with light as he spoke.

Chen Ming was even more confused. Why did the Guan family, which wanted money and power, set its sights on the Chen family's bone china? What if bone china became famous all over the country in the future? Nowadays, the bone china plates are very small, can the Guan family catch their eye?

"Second uncle, does the Guan family have business at the entrance of the kiln?"

"I have never been involved in the handmade porcelain business." Chen Cong's face was solemn. "After realizing the connection between Qingtiao Ridge and Zhuge Miao Town, our Chen family used all means to find out the details of the Guan family. The Guan family never had any money. Put it on the kiln mouth."

"Then what do they want the bone china formula for? Or is this just an excuse? Uncle Erbao visited Zhoujiakou and missed something in Zhugemiao Town?"

The Chen family's secret route to the east was via Pingxi Lake, to Luogang Town in Xiang County, and then along the Shahe River to Zhoujiakou, taking many waterways along the way. Zhuge Miao Town is a point in the middle and the hometown of the Guan family. It is not impossible for Chen Erbao and his party to really show their flaws and be noticed by the Guan family. This is the only 'reason' that Chen Ming can come up with.

"So what if you reveal your whereabouts once? How do the Guan family know that it's our ready stock instead of hoarding goods?" Chen Cong tapped his fingers on the table, "This matter is not that simple. Your father has sent people to bring generous gifts. We visited the Guan family, but there is still no news back. We are now waiting to see what the Guan family's attitude is, and then we can get a sense of what the Guan family's true identity is.

If we don’t understand what the Guan family is up to, our Chen family will have trouble sleeping and eating. "
