Lu Xingping looked forward to it.
"As long as my sister-in-law agrees, my mother will definitely have no objection."
Chu Yue looked at him with a serious expression.
"I can convince my mother to let you learn kung fu, but the premise is that you can't fall behind in your studies. If you favor one over the other and delay your schoolwork in the academy, I will immediately ask Kuroki to stop teaching you kung fu."
Before Lu Xingping could answer, Chu Yue continued, "Also, learning kung fu doesn't happen overnight. The process may be boring or even extremely hard, but since you have chosen this path, you cannot give up halfway. Are you sure you have thought about it? "
Lu Xingping, who was always out of his mind, calmed down for a rare moment. After thinking carefully in his heart, he looked at Chu Yue.
"Sister-in-law, I've thought about it, and I won't give up easily!"
Chu Yue looked into his eyes for a while, and finally nodded when she saw his firm expression.
"Now that you've decided, let's learn." She said, looking at Heimu who was crossing his chest with his hands and holding a long sword in his arms. "Heimu, I will give you the task of teaching him kung fu." Yes, you make arrangements for him according to his time."
Kuroki folded his hands into fists.
"My subordinate understands."
Lu Xingping heard the conversation between the two and happily knelt down in front of Heimu.
"Xingping meets the master."
Seeing Lu Xingping's sudden move, Heimu, who had always been calm, was startled and quickly turned sideways to lift Lu Xingping up.
"You get up first."
Lu Xingping was confused and even more uneasy.
"What's wrong? Master is not willing to teach me?"
Kuroki said softly, "You are the master, you don't have to kneel down and bow to me. If you really want to bow to me, just bow."
After Lu Xingping heard this, a smile bloomed on his face again, and he hurriedly raised his hands to bow.
"Xingping meets the master."
Kuroki hummed lightly.
"I'll be waiting for you in the courtyard at 10 o'clock tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chu Yue looked at Heimu's back, then looked at Lu Xingping in front of her, and reached out to touch his head.
"Study well."
Lu Xingping smiled and nodded.
"I will, sister-in-law."
Chu Yue looked up at the sky. It was already dawn, then turned and returned to the kitchen.
While pouring water from the bowl, she looked at Yun Cuihe who was putting the bowl back into the cupboard.
"Mom, Xingping will learn kung fu from Kuroki starting tomorrow."
Yun Cuihe's busy hands paused, with a hint of astonishment on her face.
"Learn Kung Fu?"
Chu Yue hummed and explained cautiously, "I think Xingping is like a monkey. He may not succeed in studying. If you learn kung fu, you can at least defend yourself when you go out. It just so happens that Kuroki doesn't have much to do at our house. , then find something for him to do."
After a short while, Yun Cuihe spoke.
"Okay, then let Xing Ping and Xing An learn it together. Think of it as a way to strengthen your body."
She is not the kind of person with pedantic ideas. Chu Yue taught her a set of exercises to strengthen her body, and she still practices them every day, but rarely in front of others.
Having been on the sickbed for so many years, she felt deeply that having a healthy body was more important than anything else.
Now that the family has a ready-made master to teach Kung Fu, it would be a good idea for both sons to learn from it.
As for Xiaozhu, he is still young now. What he wants to learn will be decided when he is eight or nine years old.
Chu Yue nodded, "After all, teaching one is teaching, and teaching two is teaching. I will go and talk to Heimu later."
After washing up, Chu Yue informed Hei Mu and Lu Xingan about the arrangements for learning kung fu the next day, and then went to her room.
The main house has three rooms side by side. It was fine when Lu Xinghe was there, but when he was away, it was inevitably a bit lonely when he was alone.
Especially in this quiet night.
Chu Yue sighed helplessly, took the oil lamp to the study room, and casually took out one of the few books on the bookshelf to read.
After finishing a book, Chu Yue stood up and put the book back to its original place.
Looking at the empty bookshelf, she propped up her chin and thought, it seemed like she had to buy some books to fill this bookshelf.
At least I have something to do to entertain myself in my spare time.
…
The next day, Lu Xingping and Lu Xingan got up early as expected.
The two of them followed Kuroki with great enthusiasm and were sweating profusely. By the time it was over, their legs were a little swaying when they walked.
The two brothers helped him to the room, scrubbed his body and put on clean clothes, then went to the kitchen to have breakfast.
Yun Cuihe placed two bowls of porridge in front of the two brothers.
"Hurry up and eat. After eating, you have to go to school. If you are late, sir, please use a ruler to mark your hand."
Chu Wenzhu took a mouthful of porridge in the bowl.
"Mom, what is a ruler?"
Before Yun Cuihe could answer, Lu Xingping immediately answered, "The ruler is the wooden board that teachers use to punish students corporally."
Chu Wenzhu opened his mouth slightly in surprise.
"Does it hurt when hit with a ruler?"
"I don't know." Lu Xingping said vaguely while eating the porridge in the bowl, "I will tell you after I understand."
Lu Xingan rolled his eyes in Lu Xingping's direction.
"You haven't even started reading, and you're thinking about Mr. Lian's ruler. What are you thinking about?"
Lu Xingping swallowed the porridge in his mouth and spoke very openly.
"Go and ask those who are studying. How many of them have never been beaten by your husband? Think openly. It will only happen sooner or later. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
Chu Yue couldn't help laughing.
"You're pretty open-minded."
Yun Cuihe poked Lu Xingping's head with her finger.
"Do you like being beaten so much? Before you go to school, how about I give you a meal of fried meat with bamboo shoots? I'll keep you busy all day long."
Lu Xingping touched his head, shrank his neck and said, "Mom, please forgive me, the heroine, I don't dare to do it anymore."
"Xia..." Looking at Lu Xingping's shameless expression, Yun Cuihe couldn't help but laugh or cry. She said angrily, "Eat quickly, and get out of school after eating. It's really an eyesore."
Chu Wenzhu glanced in the direction of Lu Xingping, lowered his head and chuckled, his shoulders shaking, it was very hard to endure.
Kuroki in the corner looked towards the family one by one. When he saw the smiles on their faces, an imperceptible smile appeared on the corners of his lips that had always been unsmiling.
After eating, the two brothers Lu Xingping went to school together carrying their cross-body bags.
Once they left, Chu Wenzhu was the only child left at home. She felt a little bored, so she stepped forward and grabbed Chu Yue who was about to go to the hospital.
"Sister, can I go to the hospital with you? My mother is going to the workshop later. I'm too bored at home alone."
Chu Yue thought for a while, then nodded in agreement.
"Okay, you can come with me."
After saying this, she said hello to Yun Cuihe and pulled Chu Wenzhu towards the medical center.
