After the family settled down in the city and sent their two children to school, Yang Qiubai had nothing to do, so she went to a nearby hotel and found a job as a dishwasher, earning 450 yuan a month.
She worked from 9 am to 9 pm every day, 12 hours a day, with one day off a week. Han Ze felt that the time was a bit too long and wanted to persuade her to find an easier job, but seeing her full of energy, he swallowed the words of persuasion that were on the tip of his tongue.
Yang Qiubai was really motivated to work, the hotel was close to home, and meals were provided, but the only drawback was that she couldn’t cook for her family, but fortunately the original body and Han Ze could cook, so she got up early every morning, bought food for the day, and had enough time to go to work.
Yang Qiubai went to work, and the two children went to school. Han Ze carved handicrafts at home alone. After a period of training, Han Ze’s carving skills became more mature. He had mastered all the master-level carving skills he had purchased before, and even had a tendency to surpass them. Since he wanted to achieve something in carving, he spent 500 points to buy the great master-level carving skills on the system, and integrated the skills he bought into the carving while carving.
The days passed slowly. It used to take a month to carve a Ruyi Guanyin root carving. After the carving skills were upgraded to the great master level, it only took half a month to complete a Ruyi Guanyin root carving.
Boss Chen’s order included three handicrafts: a root carving of Ruyi Guanyin, a standing Buddha of Gandhara, and a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha. It took less than two months to complete the carving. However, he did not rush Boss Chen to pick up the goods. Instead, he carved day and night for another half a month. After finishing Boss Mi’s fire cloud head figure ornament and the Hainan Huanghuali scar-covered jewelry box, he called the two of them to pick up the goods. By then, the children were already on winter vacation.
Boss Chen received a call from Master Han, saying that his craftwork had been carved. He did not suspect Han Ze of cutting corners and making shoddy work like he did the first time, but came to Han Ze’s house with Boss Mi with great expectations.
When the two saw the Buddha statues, root carvings and ornaments placed there, their eyes were wide open like copper bells. Boss Mi even stepped forward and hugged his fire cloud sky ornaments in a state of disbelief. He wiped his eyes excitedly and muttered to himself: “Too perfect, too perfect, I can’t find an adjective to describe them…”
Boss Chen was also excited, but not as excited as Boss Mi. He was even excited to the point of losing his composure. The old man was wiping tears there. He appreciated the artwork, but only appreciated it. Most of the time, it was because the crafts could bring him benefits.
Seeing the ingenious and exquisite Buddha statues, he thought about what kind of surprises the guests would receive and what kind of rewards he would get if he gave the Buddha statues carved by Master Han to those distinguished guests.
Boss Chen and Boss Mi moved the handicrafts back, which caused a sensation. Han Ze, the creator, didn’t know about it because he took his wife and children back to his hometown. There was nothing in the old house in his hometown. Han Ze only planned to go back to see his parents and then return to the city.
The gifts for returning home were prepared by Yang Qiubai. She didn’t prepare gifts for Han Ze’s brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces. She only bought a down jacket and a pair of warm leather cotton shoes for both parents. Hu Guiying and Father Han liked the things very much after they took them back, and they looked at Han Ze with complicated eyes.
They didn’t have any expectations for this son since he was young. If the other children were in junior high school and had the ability to get into high school, the family would support him by selling everything they had. This child didn’t even finish junior high school and was forced to drop out of school because even if he got into high school or even college in the future, his legs couldn’t get a good job. It was better to give the opportunity to go to school to other children. What they didn’t expect was that even if the other children were good at studying, none of them got into high school.
Now, this child who they almost gave up on, since he got married, earns more and more money every day, and his life is getting more and more prosperous. Now the whole family has moved to the city.
He looked at Han Jiaojiao and Han Lekang, who were dressed like city kids behind Han Ze and his wife, and felt mixed emotions. Han Ze made money, which he liked, but Han Ze spent all his money on outsiders, which made him feel unhappy. He was angry at Han Ze for not fighting for it. He thought that even if Han Ze could make money, he was still a hopeless person. He didn’t know what was important and raised other people’s sons as his own sons, but he was not in a hurry to have a child.
Han Dage and Han Erge pulled Han Ze to talk. Yang Qiubai went to the kitchen to help Hu Guiying cook. Today, Hu Guiying got new clothes and new shoes, and Han Ze gave her some money. She was happy and liked Yang Qiubai more than usual. Seeing Yang Qiubai coming to help cook, she smiled and asked her to cut vegetables.
In the main hall, Han Erge said that he sold the family’s motorcycle and even wanted to sell the tractor, planning to collect money to buy a van. The government paid for the muddy road from Hanjia Village to the town to be paved. Some villagers bought vans to run passenger transport, and they could run every market. They could earn 60 or 70 yuan a day, which was better than farming.
He meant that since Han Ze had made money, he would ask Han Ze to borrow some money and did not plan to sell the tractor at home. He had a large family and a lot of land. Without a tractor, farming was too difficult, and he was reluctant to sell it.
Han Erge said, “Han Ze, you have to help me no matter what.”
Han Ze was about to speak when he heard Jiaojiao crying next to him. He was startled, stood up, and strode over.
…
Han Jiaojiao was wearing a pink down jacket today, a pair of red leather shoes, a red scarf, and red gloves. Yang Qiubai tied her hair into a bun. The little girl had a pair of round eyes and a white and tender face, which was particularly cute.
“Your clothes are so beautiful, did uncle buy them for you?”
The person asking the question was Han Pingping, who was the same age as Han Jiaojiao and the daughter of Han Ze’s second brother.
When Han Jiaojiao was studying in Hanjia Village, they were in the same class. Since childhood, Han Jiaojiao had always envied Han Pingping, envying that she was not only loved by her mother, but also loved by her grandparents. Every time she went to her grandparents’ house, her grandparents didn’t like her and didn’t give her any delicious food. She cried and asked her father why her grandparents didn’t like her, but her father didn’t say anything every time.
She also envied Pingping for being able to wear beautiful new clothes frequently. Although her father loved her, she knew that the family had no money. Even if her father bought her clothes, she would still have clothes to wear and refused.
Now hearing Han Pingping’s words, she grinned. Now she also had her mother’s love, so there was no need to envy Pingping. She said, “My mother bought this for me, and so did the shoes.”
Han Pingping snorted, her young face full of disapproval, even a little mean: “Your mother’s money is earned by my uncle, and you spend the money earned by my uncle.”
Han Jiaojiao looked at her with wide eyes and argued, “My mother is working, she has money.”
Han Pingping looked at her down jacket with envy, pouted and said, “I also want my uncle to buy me a down jacket. My mother said that you and Han Lekang are not uncle’s children. You are wild children, and all the money he earns should be spent on us.”
“You are talking nonsense, you are not a good child.”
Han Jiaojiao’s eyes were red, pointing at Han Pingping and accusing.
Han Ze never told Han Jiaojiao whether she was his biological child or not. She used to be confused about why she didn’t have a mother, but she never thought about whether she was his biological daughter or not. No one was idle enough to say anything in front of her, at most they would say a few words behind her back.
Han Jiaojiao knew what a wild child was, and she also knew that her brother was not his biological child. As for whether she was his biological child or not, she had no such concept at all. She was raised by her father since she was a child. If she was not his biological child, why did he raise her and why did he love her so much? So, she was his biological daughter.
Han Pingping had two older brothers, and she was the only girl in the family. She was spoiled since she was a child, and she was not a child who would not fight back when scolded. She immediately frowned and glared at him, saying, “You are not a good child. You were originally a wild child that my uncle picked up in the field and no one wanted. If it weren’t for my uncle, you would have starved to death.”
Han Jiaojiao saw that she spoke in a very convincing manner, and burst into tears.
Han Ze came over and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with Jiaojiao?”
Han Jiaojiao turned her head and hugged her father’s thigh, sobbing and pointing at Han Pingping, “Pingping said that I was an unwanted wild child picked up from the fields. Dad, I’m not a wild child, I’m not a wild child…”
Han Ze was heartbroken by her crying. He squatted down, took out a paper, wiped her tears, and coaxed, “Jiaojiao is not a wild child at all. Jiaojiao is daddy’s good daughter, daddy’s little princess.”
Han Pingping ran over, looked at Han Ze unconvinced, and accused, “Uncle, you are lying. Han Jiaojiao is not a little princess. She is a wild child picked up from the field. Mom and grandma have said so.”
Han Jiaojiao cried even harder, and kept yelling, “I’m not a wild child, I’m not a wild child.”
Han Ze hugged her and coaxed, “Jiaojiao is not a wild child, she is daddy’s good daughter.”
Yang Qiubai and Han Lekang saw that the situation was not right and came over, and the Han family members behind them also ran over.
Han Pingping kept shouting beside him: “Uncle, she is a wild child. She is a wild child. ”
Han Jiaojiao burst into tears and said, “I am not a wild child, I am not a wild child.”
Han Pingping snorted and said, “You are, you are.”
Han Lekang glanced at Han Pingping, walked to his father, took his sister’s hand, and glared at her: “You are useless, stupid.”
Han Jiaojiao had a teardrop hanging from her eye, about to fall, her red nose twitched, and she stared at her brother blankly.
Han Lekang wiped the tears from her face with his sleeve and said reproachfully: “You don’t believe it when I say you are stupid. If others say you are a wild child, then you are a wild child? Your parents love you so much, do you think a wild child can get this treatment? Which wild child can dress as well as you? And can go to the best school in the city? ”
Han Jiaojiao sniffed, looked at the people around her, and said a little embarrassedly: “I am not a wild child.”
Han Lekang smiled and said: “You are not a wild child, you are your father’s good daughter, our little princess. ”
The little princess made Han Jiaojiao burst out laughing, “I don’t want to be a princess, I want to be a queen.”
Han Lekang laughed at her, “A queen won’t cry all the time, it’s so ugly.”
Han Jiaojiao immediately wiped her eyes.
The three words “little princess” annoyed Han Pingping. She was the little princess of the Han family. Han Jiaojiao, a wild child who was picked up, actually wanted to be the princess of the family. She was very unhappy and said, “A wild child is a wild child, and you still don’t admit it.”
When Han’s second brother heard her words, his eyebrows jumped, and he hurried to see Han Ze. Seeing that his brows were tightly frowned, he scolded, “Han Pingping, who taught you to say that? Do you want to be beaten?”
Han Pingping pouted and said unconvincedly, “Mom said that Han Lekang and Han Jiaojiao are wild children. In the future, all the money earned by my uncle will be spent on us. Spending it on Han Lekang and Han Jiaojiao will be a waste of money…”
“Han Pingping, shut up!”
Han’s second brother looked at Han Ze and said with a smile, “This child deserves a beating.”
Han Ze smiled and said, “Second brother, you need to discipline the child when she is young, otherwise you won’t be able to control her when she grows up. Look at what she said. That Lekang and Jiaojiao are wild children? Lekang and Jiaojiao are both my children, how can they be wild children? Second brother, I’m not saying anything bad about you, Pingping really needs to be disciplined. ”
Second brother Han said embarrassedly, “I’ll teach her a lesson when I get back.”
The little girl dared to say anything, even the things he and his wife whispered, she spread them everywhere. Is this child stupid? How does Han Ze view their family?
Han Ze said again, “Look at how obedient my Lekang and Jiaojiao are. This time in the final exam, Lekang ranked second in the whole grade. Jiaojiao’s grades were a little worse, but she also ranked eighteenth in the whole grade. There are six classes in each class in their school, unlike in Hanjia Village, where there is only one second grade in a school. It’s amazing that they can get such good grades with so many people. How many points did Pingping get this time? ”
Second brother Han pulled the corners of his mouth awkwardly, thinking, no matter how good the child is, it is not your child.
Seeing his look, Han Ze knew that Han Pingping did not do well in the exam. He shook his head and sighed, and said jokingly: “I said that our ancestral tomb is not buried well. Second brother, you and eldest brother studied very well, but you couldn’t get into high school, and your nephews and nieces didn’t study well either. You should discuss with dad and move our ancestral tomb and give our ancestors a place with good feng shui to live. Otherwise, they can’t bless our family or make our family prosperous. ”
Second brother Han: “…”
This is the first time I heard that the quality of academic performance can be related to the ancestral tomb.
After hearing what he said, Eldest brother Han couldn’t help but say: “If our ancestral tomb is not prosperous for descendants, why are you living a better and better life now?”
Whether a person’s life is good or bad has nothing to do with the ancestral tomb.
Han Ze pointed at his feet and said: “Big brother and second brother, look at the height of my feet, and think about how I lived in the past thirty years? ”
Eldest and Second Brother Han did not speak. What kind of life did Han Ze lead in the first half of his life? Is there any need to ask? A man who couldn’t even get a wife and was laughed at all day long must have had a hard life.
Han Ze asked them again: “What kind of life am I leading now?”
Brother Han smiled bitterly and said, “You have bought a house in the city now, and your life must be better than before.”
Han Ze clapped his hands and laughed, “That’s right. Since I married Qiu Bai, my life has become more and more prosperous, and my carving skills have become better and better. This is all thanks to Qiubai. Qiubai is a lucky woman.”
Eldest Brother Han looked at him speechlessly. It seems that your life is good, all thanks to Yang Qiubai.
Second Brother Han was a little confused. Yes, before Han Ze married Yang Qiubai, what kind of life did he live? It didn’t feel like a home at all. After marrying Yang Qiu Bai, the whole family moved to the city in half a year. Think about the children in the family, no matter big or small, they can’t go to school or do farm work. Look at Han Ze’s adopted son and daughter, they are good at studying and hardworking. Could it be that the ancestral tomb of the family was not buried well, which affected the descendants?
Yang Qiubai: “…”
Han Ze became more and more excited as he spoke: “Second brother, take my carving skills for example. I have been learning carving from my master for twenty-three years. In these twenty-three years, my carving skills have never made any breakthroughs. But one month after Qiubai entered the door, my carving skills broke through to the master level and earned my first money. After that, my carving skills improved by leaps and bounds. You don’t understand this industry, or perhaps you don’t understand that it is difficult to make breakthroughs in carving skills. Why do you think this is the case?”
Second brother Han asked him stupidly: “Why?”
Han Ze glanced at him and said, “Of course Qiubai brings good luck to me. She and I have a compatible horoscope. Otherwise, considering the location of our ancestral tomb, I would never achieve anything great in this life. So, I think you should think carefully about selling your tractor to buy a van. I’m afraid that you will lose everything under the influence of our ancestral tomb.”
Eldest brother Han: “…”
Second brother Han didn’t care about his eldest brother’s expression. He thought about it carefully and felt that Han Ze’s words were not without basis. Their family has always been unlucky. Could it be because the ancestral tomb was not buried well?
Seeing that he was half-believing and half-doubting, Han Ze added, “Our grandfather is the eldest, and he should be buried first behind the graves of our great-grandmothers. But the third grandmother died first and occupied the position of our grandparents’ graves. When our grandparents died, they could only be buried behind the third grandmother’s grave. The position of our ancestral graves was not good to begin with, and it is even worse now, because the luck has been occupied by the people of the third room. Look at how prosperous the children and grandchildren of the third grandmother are, and then look at the brothers in our family, how unlucky they are.”
After saying that, he looked at Hu Guiying standing at the door. The old lady often said that the family’s ancestral graves were not buried well, and the graves belonging to the original grandparents were occupied by the old man and old lady of the third room. She should agree with this the most.
Hu Guiying did agree. After listening to Han Ze’s words, her face was darker than the bottom of the pot at home. When the third aunt died, she occupied the position of the graves belonging to her old man and old lady, and she was not happy about it. She asked the child’s father to make a fuss. He said that they were all from the same ancestor, so it didn’t matter whether they were buried in front or behind. Humph, what does it matter? If the sons and grandsons of the family are not promising, then the matter will come to an end, right? It was the third branch that took away the luck that belonged to their family.
Hu Guiying said fiercely: “Move the graves, we must move the graves.”
Han Ze said again: “In fact, moving the graves may not be useful. After all, grandpa and grandma have taken root there. Their flesh and blood have been integrated with the land. If their bones are moved away, won’t it separate them from their flesh and blood?”
Hu Guiying said stubbornly: “Then move the land together…”
After she finished speaking, she stopped. That piece of land was the graves of their ancestors. It was basically impossible to move the land.
Hu Guiying said angrily: “If the grave can’t be moved, do you have to continue to be unlucky? How can this be?”
Father Han was a little confused, but he felt that he should not be superstitious. He said angrily: “What nonsense, how can the graves of ancestors be moved casually? What you think is what you think. The children in the family are not good at studying. It’s because they don’t work hard. It’s also because the eldest and second children don’t take good care of the children and spoil them too much. If you beat them three times a day, they dare not play. Let’s see if they still study hard.”
Hu Guiying glared at him fiercely: “I think you, the grandfather, will be beaten first. You beat them three times a day. Do you want to beat the children stupid, or what?”
Han Erge frowned, feeling conflicted. He looked at Han Ze and asked, “Do you think I should buy this van?”
Han Ze spread his hands and said, “It depends on your own determination. If you don’t believe those words, you can buy it. Besides, haven’t you learned to drive yet? It’s not too late to buy a car after you get your driver’s license and become proficient in driving. Maybe by then, you won’t want to buy it.”
Han Erge didn’t understand and asked, “Why?”
Han Ze said with a smile, “The roads from our village to the town, and from the town to the county town have been repaired. Do you think anyone will drive a bus to pick up passengers? With buses, do you think anyone will still take a van? Even if someone does, do you think the business will be good?”
Han Erge suddenly realized, pointed at Han Ze and said with a smile, “You have learned a lot after living in the city for a few months. Thanks to you, otherwise I would have lost so much money that I wouldn’t even recognize my family.”
Han Ze smiled and said, “You are my second brother, how can I not consider you? You have never driven a car and don’t understand this business, so I said you should take the test. Think of it, otherwise you will not say that you will sell motorcycles and sell tractors. Too much money will be lost. ”
“Okay” Han Er said:” Even if it doesn’t work, I still go to the village construction team to earn some money. In the future, I will be rich, and I will go to the city to buy a house.”
Han Ze said:” At that time, the three brothers can be in the city.”
…
After the Han Ze family had dinner, they went to Yangjia Village. On the way, Yang Qiubai smiled and asked Han Ze: “I thought you were going to lend money to my second brother.”
Han Ze frowned and said: “My second brother can’t drive. Even if he learns to drive now, it is very dangerous. He wants to buy a van to pick up passengers, which is very unrealistic. What if something goes wrong? I can’t lend him money and hurt him. He should honestly find a job on a construction site and do some other business with the money he earns in the future. If he borrows money everywhere to do business and loses money, he can’t even pay back the debt. The pressure is too great.”
Yang Qiubai didn’t know what to say for a while. Second brother Han wanted to buy a van to pick up passengers, which was just an impulse. If after the impulse, he regrets buying the car, what should he do? Even if the car is new, it will lose a lot of money if it is sold again. Han Ze was right not to agree to lend money to Han’s second brother.
Arriving at Yangjia Village, the family gave Yang’s father and mother the New Year goods and gifts they had prepared for them. After sitting in their home for a while, they planned to go back to the city. Father and Mother Yang gave Han Lekang and Han Jiaojiao a red envelope each, but the two children refused to accept it. Father and Mother Yang said that it was New Year’s money given to them in advance, so they took it.
Seeing their daughter and son-in-law leave, Father and Mother Yang had smiles on their faces.
Aunt Hu, the neighbor next door, came out for a stroll. Seeing the down jacket on Yang’s mother, she was jealous and said sourly: “The clothes you are wearing are beautiful and of good quality. You are willing to spend money on it. Unlike me, all the clothes on my body are bought by my daughter. Oh, by the way, didn’t your Qiubai come to give you New Year gifts during the New Year?”
But in her heart, she was thinking that Yang Qiubai married Han Ze from Hanjia Village. That guy was a good person with a lot of bad friends. He borrowed all the money he earned and never saw anyone return it to him. It was nothing for Qiubai to marry him.
Yang Qiubai was very strong since she was young, and often bullied her daughter. Unexpectedly, the men she married were not as good as her daughter’s, and the men still loved her.
It is useless for a woman to be strong, and she has to marry a man who treats her well, so that her life can be smooth.
Mother Yang glanced at her and said with a smile: “This is what my eldest daughter bought for me in the city. She also bought one for her father. Qiubai asked me to try it on to see if it fits. I put it on and didn’t have time to take it off.”
Aunt Hu’s face froze: “Is it your Qiubai who came back just now?”
Mother Yang said with a smile: “Han Ze bought a house in the city, and the whole family moved to the city. It’s almost the New Year, so he came back to give us New Year gifts. He didn’t even have dinner, and rushed back to the city for fear of missing the long-distance bus. You see, he’s busy every day.”
Aunt Hu pulled the corner of her mouth: “So, your Qiubai married the right person this time.”
After saying that, she turned around and went back home, but she was thinking in her heart, could it be that Han Ze turned over a new leaf for Yang Qiubai? She thought it was unlikely, after all, it’s hard to change one’s nature.
She thought unhappily, and didn’t know why he made money. Could it be that Yang Qiubai’s luck really turned around and married the right person?
…
In the city, Boss Chen led a group of people to stand in front of Han Ze’s house and knocked hard, but no one answered.
An old man with silver hair and white beard pulled his arm and said, “Maybe he is not at home?”
Boss Chen pondered and said, “Master Han is carving at home every day. Where can he go if he is not at home?”
Han Ze’s family returned home and saw them, and said with a smile, “Boss Chen!”
Boss Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Han Ze, where have you been?”
Han Ze smiled and explained, “I went back to my hometown.”
Boss Chen looked at the old man next to him and said, “Master Han, this is Master Bai Ya. He saw your carvings and wanted to visit you.”
The young man next to the old man heard Boss Chen call Han Ze Master Han and sneered disdainfully.
Master Bai Ya turned his head and looked at him, and the young man immediately shut up. The young man was Zheng Xu, a disciple of Master Bai Ya. He saw that his master admired Han Ze’s carvings very much and was very dissatisfied with Han Ze. Han Ze was about the same age as him, so how could his carvings reach the master level? Even if he had seen Han Ze’s carvings, he didn’t think they were carved by him personally, but must have been carved by his master.
Han Ze didn’t care about the reactions of the few people, nodded to the master Bai Ya, and said with a smile: “Master Bai Ya, please sit inside.”
Zheng Xu saw that Han Ze’s attitude towards his master was average, and there was no compliment from others. He snorted in his heart and was very dissatisfied with him.
Master Bai Ya originally wanted to see the crafts carved by Han Ze, but Han Ze had been carving the works of Boss Chen and Boss Mi for some time, and had no time to carve other crafts. The only things displayed at home were the ordinary crafts carved by his original body.
Master Bai Ya was very disappointed, but Zheng Xu was more certain of his guess, thinking that those Buddha statues must have been carved by Master Han Ze. In order to make Han Ze famous, his master also tried his best.
The purpose of Master Bai Ya’s visit this time was to invite Han Ze to participate in an international art exhibition.
Zheng Xu pulled the master’s arm, wanting to remind him to think about it again. After all, they only saw those Buddha statues, but did not see Han Ze carving them. It was still unknown whether those Buddha statues were carved by him. Was it inappropriate for the master to blindly invite him to participate in the exhibition?
Master Bai Ya glanced at him indifferently. He was old, so how could he not be as good as a young man in judging people and things?
Zheng Xu stopped talking awkwardly, but glanced at Han Ze provocatively.
Han Ze smiled indifferently and agreed to participate in the exhibition without thinking. Since he wanted to achieve something in carving, he would definitely participate in some art exhibitions to enhance his reputation.
…
The art exhibition will be held next summer, and Han Ze still has a long time to prepare. Han Ze did not plan to take any work during the Chinese New Year, so he was free for a while. In the morning, he went to the park to practice Tai Chi with the old man and the old woman, took the children out to play in the afternoon, and stayed at home to watch TV at night.
That night, the family sat next to the TV and watched TV, and suddenly a news report was broadcast. In the news, a girl was robbed, raped and killed while riding in a taxi.
Han Ze turned off the TV, looked at the other three people in the family solemnly, and said, “I plan to send Jiaojiao to learn martial arts.”
Jiaojiao was a little excited: “Dad, I like dancing, I want to learn dancing.”
Yang Qiubai smiled and said, “Since Jiaojiao likes it, let’s go learn dancing.”
Han Lekang also said, “Many girls in the city learn dancing. Jiaojiao can go and learn it, so as not to fall behind other girls in the class.”
Han Ze glanced at them and said, “The martial arts I mentioned are the martial arts of martial arts, not the dance of dancing.”
Han Jiaojiao: “…”
Han Lekang: “…”
What does Dad want to do?
Only Yang Qiubai heard Han Ze’s words and thought about the news.
Han Ze said: “Tomorrow I will go and find out where I can learn martial arts. While Jiaojiao is still young, I will send her to learn martial arts.”
Han Lekang suddenly said: “Dad, do you want to train Jiaojiao to be another mother?”
Han Ze looked at him.
Han Lekang smiled and said: “Dad, do you plan to train Jiaojiao to be a tigress?”
After that, he ran away.
Han Ze pointed at him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: “This brat.”
Han Jiaojiao said in a dilemma: “Dad, do I really have to learn martial arts?”
Han Ze nodded, “Dad is doing this for your own good. Let your brother go with you, so you don’t have to feel lonely.”
Han Jiaojiao said happily: “If my brother goes, I will go too.”
Han Lekang popped his head out of the house and complained: “Dad, can I not learn?”
Han Ze looked at him with a smile: “For the sake of your sister, you can learn it yourself.”
Han Lekang wailed: “Okay, then, I will learn.”
If his sister learns martial arts, what if she learns too well, wouldn’t he, as a brother, be unable to beat his sister? That would be embarrassing.
Yang Qiubai sat aside, looking at the few people, with a gentle smile on her lips.
