However, over the past few days, A Jin's enthusiasm for learning kung fu did not diminish.
Every time the child came back from his training, his body would be covered in dust, and even his inner clothes would be drenched in sweat.
On the first day, he was so tired that his back ached and his waist ached. He kept tossing and turning the whole night without being able to sleep at all.
Seeing this, Su Zhi's heart ached. She tried to persuade A Jin to give up, or she was slowly rejected.
Thus, the woman targeted Xiao Qian. With such intense training, how could it be called teaching a disciple? It was as if they were recruits.
"Mother, please let me go. Uncle Xiao said that it was hard in the beginning, but when I finally catch up, I won't be so tired anymore."
Early in the morning, Su Zhi had blocked A Jin's path, and had handed Little Dou Zi over for him to take care of. She refused to let him go out and practice no matter what.
Su Zhi pretended to be pitiful, "I don't care about the food of so many people, I can't take care of your sister. Don't go anywhere else today, just keep an eye on her."
A Jin was discouraged. She gloomily squatted to the side and played a game of stone-catching with the small bean bag.
The woman was busy with her work. She did not understand, "I do not understand why you must study martial arts now. You are still young and have trained to the detriment of your health. Why do you have to work so hard every day?"
"Mom, A Jin wants to learn martial arts to protect you and her sister. In the future, no one will dare to bully you."
As Su Zhi was peeling the beans, she heard A Jin's explanation and stopped what she was doing.
Ever since he found out about Nie Rufeng's death, this child became even more sensible. It was unknown if he was worried that she would miss her late husband, so he happily smiled at everyone and even helped her clean up the kitchen. Now, he even said that he must practice kung fu with Xiao Qian.
This child was so sensible that it caused one's heart to ache.
She sighed, not at all pleased.
If Nie Rufeng hadn't died in battle, the kid definitely wouldn't have died in such a way. It was a pity that the heavens could never predict the future.
"Mom is not opposed to you learning martial arts. It's just that you are still young and your training is difficult. How can you do this with your thin arms and thin legs?"
A Jin didn't answer, instead, she picked up the stone with the back of her hand and threw it into the air. A few times, she caught the stone with the back of her hand.
Seeing that he was staying and playing with his sister, Su Zhi did not say anymore and stood up with a blush.
Only after her mother had left did A-Jin whisper into her mother's ear. "Little Dou Zi, do you want to see Uncle Xiao?" Let's go find him. "
"Looking for Daddy ~"
The bean bun smiled sweetly and suddenly remembered that there was someone like Xiao Qian. She stopped grabbing stones and stood up to run outside on her short legs while mumbling 'Daddy'.
When Su Zhi heard the commotion, she turned around and saw Little Dou Zi sneaking out of the tent.
"Ah, where are we going?"
A Jin quickly replied, "Maybe she wants to go out to play. Mother, don't worry, I will bring her back."
Su Zhi nodded and let them go.
This trip lasted for several hours, and even at dinner time, there were still no signs of the two children.
Su Zhi thought that they were just having fun outside, but she didn't see anyone when she went out to call them, so she naturally went into Xiao Qian's camp.
It was good that she didn't go, but when she did, she saw Xiao Qian holding a small ball in his left hand and a ruler in his right.
A Jin was riding on the side. His tired legs were trembling, and his face was a lot paler than before.
Xiao Gan said, "Keep your lower body stable. A bit lower and you'll almost stand up."
Su Zhi flew into a rage and went forward to pick up A Jin, who was on the verge of collapsing, and began to curse, "I told you to look at your little sister, but you actually saw me here? If only you had come here to suffer and bear the hardships, you would have already planned to return to Tranquil Village.
Seeing that Su Zhi had gotten angry, A Jin immediately grabbed her arm and acted like a spoiled child, "Mother, I was wrong."
Su Zhi angrily took the small bean bag from Xiao Qian's arms. With a gloomy face, she scared the little girl so much that she cried out loud, "Daddy! Daddy!"
Damn it, this damn child was really in pain for nothing!
"What were you eating today that made you angry at a kid?"
Xiao Qian saw that Dou Zi was crying, so he quickly carried the child back. He hugged the child and coaxed him up and down.
The woman was stunned. When did this fellow learn how to coax children? He was quite adept at it.
The small bean bag returned to Xiao Qian's arms and immediately stopped crying. Her small, white, chubby hands tightly gripped the front of Xiao Qian's clothes as she pitifully laid on his chest, gasping for air.
Su Zhi felt embarrassed. Her own son and daughter were about to become the family of someone else, she was really going to die from anger.
"Alright, alright, alright. You all don't want me anymore. I won't serve you anymore."
After saying that, he turned around to leave. A Jin rushed forward and hugged her leg, looking at her with her big blinking eyes. "Mother, don't be angry."
With a cold expression, Su Zhi was determined to leave. Little Dou Zi immediately could not take it anymore, and started to scream again, "Mother!"
The power of the two children crying together was not small. Not long after, whispers could be heard from outside, "What's going on inside? Those two children are still obediently crying. How could they cry so loudly today?"
"Who knows …"
"We, the generals, didn't bully my mother, right?"
Su Zhi choked on her words, then helped A Jin up, stopping him from crying.
Noticing that his mother was not leaving, the little bean bag immediately stopped crying and turned her head to the side, refusing to let her carry it.
The woman's face cracked! Well, the playwright, she didn't have a daughter like that!
"I'm leaving."
"Don't, Mother!"
"Wooo ~ ~"
Su Zhi rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on. She was doomed for life!
Who said her child was well-behaved and sensible? They were obviously two people who were good at small things.
"I'm not going to bring food, I'm going to starve you three to death!"
Noticing the situation, A Jin did not make any more noise, and Little Dou was no longer crying.
Only a confused Xiao Qian looked at the two of them and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Because of A Jin's martial arts training, Su Zhi and Xiao Qian were at loggerheads. They didn't talk to him for days, nor went to the back mountain at night. Even though they slept uncomfortably, they still didn't want to bother with him.
Xiao Qian felt very helpless towards this. He was fine originally, but why did he just ignore him?
His birthday in May of this year was already twenty-three people, but he had never married or had children, not even a concubine. He did not know what women thought, nor did he know how to coax them.
Su Zhi ignored him. Although he did not understand, it was not good for him to ask. She was afraid that if he talked too much, she would dislike him, so they would have even less chance to talk.
Today, when Su Zhi angrily barged in, Xiao Qian was stunned for a while. It took him a long time to understand that Su Zhi was angry with him because of A Jin.
During the night, Xiao Qian took the initiative to bring the two children back. Su Zhi was sitting alone on the bed, lost in thought with her hands on her cheeks.
A Jin ran up happily and called out, "Mom!"
Su Zhi came back to her senses and accepted the child with a smile.
She struggled to get out of Xiao Qian's arms and ran towards her mother in a soft and adorable manner.
Looking at the scene of the family of three embracing each other, Xiao Qian's cold and resolute face was slightly moved.
"When the children are asleep, come to the tent and check the books with me. I have two questions."
Su Zhi did not even raise her head as she replied indifferently, "This humble woman does not dare disobey General's orders."
After coaxing the child to sleep, the woman was invited out.
