When the first cock crow sounded.
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan got up from the bed.
Zhao Dashan opened his eyes in a daze and walked out: "What are you two doing up so early? Be careful of waking up Zhuzhu."
"Brother, we are moving very lightly." Zhao Sidan said quietly, "Today is our first day of practicing with Master. We agreed to go there when the rooster crows. Third brother, wait for me!"
The two walked to the yard, where Cheng Wanwan had already been waiting.
She is a person who likes to sleep in. For the first time, she got up and dressed before the rooster crows.
She handed over the thing in her hand: "It's your first day to learn Kung Fu. It should be a bit ceremonial. This is the gift Mom prepared for you."
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan took the things over, which were two wooden swords.
Originally, she wanted to buy an old iron sword, but the two boys were beginners. She was worried that they would hurt herself, so she bought a wooden sword instead.
Zhao Sidan and Zhao Sanniu were overjoyed. They looked at the sword for a while and then hurried to find He Xiao.
It was the middle of the night, and a crescent moon hung in the sky. It was dotted with stars, but it wasn't that dark.
He Xiao was already standing in the yard. He was not holding a cane, standing like a pine tree.
"Master!"
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan raised their hands together and shouted respectfully.
He Xiao nodded, and the first day arrived at the rooster's crow, which showed that these two children really wanted to learn martial arts.
He said: "On your first day of officially learning martial arts, my master has prepared a meeting gift for you two..."
Just as he was speaking halfway, he noticed that Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan had swords in their belts. He asked slowly, "What is this?"
Zhao Sidan immediately took out the wooden sword: "Master, this is the sword that my mother just gave to me and my third brother. Although this sword is made of wood, the blade is also very sharp, and the hilt is engraved with A tiger is so majestic!"
Zhao Sanniu also showed off: "There are many complicated patterns carved on the scabbard, including auspicious clouds, waves, and very imposing..."
He Xiao took the sword over.
As soon as he held it in his hand, he felt that it was different. This wooden sword was very heavy and made of excellent wood. From the hilt to the blade, it was extremely smooth, and not a single burr could be touched.
The most important thing is that the scabbard and the body of the sword have patterns and exquisite carvings. This cannot be completed in just ten days, nor can it be carved by ordinary carpenters.
These two swords were countless times better than the wooden swords he carved himself.
His greeting gift suddenly became a little hard to come by.
Zhao Sidan asked curiously: "Master, didn't you say you prepared a meeting gift for us?"
He Xiao had one hand behind his back, holding two wooden swords.
He took a step back and said calmly: "The meeting ceremony is in the room, please wait a moment."
He turned around quickly and walked into the back room.
Zhao Sidan said excitedly: "Third brother, what do you think Master will give us?"
Zhao Sanniu shook his head: "You can give me anything you want, I like them all."
After a while, He Xiao came out with two cups of tea: "This is the tea that my teacher made specially for you. It's called Qingxin Jingqi tea."
Mu Jian can't give it away anymore, so let's fool him with two cups of tea for the time being.
Wait for the future...
Forget it, there is no future for him. He is a down-and-out martial artist and has no future glory.
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan drank the tea. The strong tea went into their throats. The two of them, who were still a little sleepy, suddenly woke up a lot.
"The first item is running." He Xiao said quietly, "Run around Dahe Village three times and then come back for the second item."
The two nodded and started running without saying anything.
Running is an exercise in perseverance and also a warm-up. After the warm-up is over, you have to squat into the horse stance.
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan had practiced squatting at home every day. Zhao Sanniu chopped firewood while squatting, and Zhao Sidan read a book. This was not too difficult for the two of them. Task.
After the squatting horse step was completed, a faint white light appeared on the horizon.
It was already Yin hour, and after more than half an hour, it would be daybreak.
It was at this moment that the village patrol team came.
Because the two Zhao family members are inner disciples, they need to come here to practice when the rooster crows. To He Xiao, everyone else in the village is not even an outer disciple, so naturally they are not. Forcibly requesting it, he only proposed that he should come here to practice for an hour at 3:00 every day.
The patrol team members in the village need to do farm work, and some also need to help Cheng Wanwan's family, or go to town to carry large bags. After practicing in the morning, the new day officially begins, so nothing will be delayed. The most important thing is that you don’t need to spend money to learn martial arts. You can learn martial arts without spending money. For the poor in the village, this is taking advantage. If you don’t take advantage, you are a bastard. Even some brats who like to fight are mixed in the crowd. , follow and learn in style.
When the sun is about to rise, the morning practice ends.
Zhao Sanniu and Zhao Sidan returned home covered in sweat. They had no strength at all and wanted to lie down on the bed and sleep to death.
"Let's take a shower first, and then come have something to eat." Cheng Wanwan looked at the two of them and said, "If you feel too tired, you can give up now. I support whatever decision you make."
Zhao Sanniu jumped up like a calf: "Mom, I'm not tired, not at all. I can still work after eating!"
Zhao Sidan also got up quickly: "I'm going to study when I'm full."
Cheng Wanwan laughed: "You didn't like to sleep at noon in the past. From today on, you will take a half-hour nap at noon every day to replenish your energy."
The two nodded immediately.
What I ate in the morning was wild vegetable egg pancakes. Wild vegetables were kneaded with flour, and fried eggs were sandwiched in the middle.
Chunhua cooks these three meals every day, with Cao Yingying assisting, Wenshi mainly cooking confinement meals, and Wu Huiniang's daily meals are separated.
Wenshi is making rice wine and egg custard to increase milk production.
She took out an egg and looked up to see Chunhua taking a dozen eggs, then cracking them all into a large porcelain bowl.
On the first day she came, Wen would be shocked by such a lavish situation, but after staying here for three days, she had gotten used to it.
In the morning, each person has an egg. This is the normal operation at my sister-in-law's house.
At noon, there was a bowl of dry rice and white rice for each person. A family in the village had given ten kilograms of rice as a gift. She thought her sister-in-law would exchange it for money, but she didn't expect that she would keep it at home for eating.
Usually in the evening, the dishes will be very rich, vegetables are the most basic, there is no shortage of eggs, and if the family is in the braised food business, there is no shortage of meat.
She stayed at her sister-in-law's house for three days, and she was able to eat every meal. She felt like she had gained several pounds.
Even if my sister-in-law doesn't give me the money, she still makes the money.
She finally understood why the third daughter-in-law tried her best to come and work at her sister-in-law's house.
Wen worked harder and harder.
