Chapter 103 Second Brother Apprenticeship
Zhao Yu and Zhao Ya nodded one after another, and said firmly: "Brother, don't worry, we all know very well in our hearts that we will never do anything to be sorry for uncle and aunt."
Zhao Cheng nodded in satisfaction. He also listened to gossip in the village.
Someone may say that Zhao Dong's family is hypocritical towards their three brothers and sisters, and they just want to have someone to support them in retirement.
Or, Zhao Dong and Sun Mei are not good to the three brothers and sisters. They only let their own girl go to school, but they don't care about the future of the three brothers and sisters.
Although he is not clever, he knows to trust his own heart, he can feel the sincerity of his uncle and aunt's family. Therefore, he didn't believe a single word of those gossips in front of him.
He also often warns his younger siblings not to pay attention to those gossips, but to keep their eyes open, and to know who is sincere to him.
Of course, many villagers said that Zhao Dong's family was wrong, and some said they were stupid.
"I'm afraid that Zhao Dong will raise three white-eyed wolves. When the three brothers and sisters grow up, they will leave with their mother as soon as their mother comes back."
This is what he heard the most.
However, he never argues with reason. Anyway, he knows in his heart that all three of them would be filial to their uncle.
The three brothers and sisters had a chat under the moonlight for the first time before going to bed.
A few days later, Zhao Dong prepared the gift and was about to take Zhao Yu to find Meng Fusheng, but Meng Fusheng went to the door first by himself.
It turned out that Zhao Yu was waiting for Zhao Zhitong to leave school, so he took a stick and played at the school gate while waiting for Zhao Zhitong to leave school. Then, Meng Fusheng happened to see him.
He was surprised to find that although Zhao Yu's few moves, although he looked immature and lacked strength, and there were one or two mistakes in moves during the period, he showed his talent at the beginning.
The key point is that he discovered that those moves were the ones he played casually at Zhao's house that day. Unexpectedly, this kid memorized them all. He is definitely a martial arts wizard.
So, they called the Zhao family, intending to teach Zhao Yu a few tricks.
After listening to Meng Fusheng's intentions, Zhao Dong's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his hand to pat the dazed Zhao Yu: "Silly boy, what are you doing in a daze, why don't you thank the master!"
"what!"
Zhao Yu finally realized that it was a clever man who almost jumped up, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed three times to Meng Fusheng: "Thank you, Master Zhao Yu!"
Meng Fusheng was taken aback for a moment, he actually planned to take Zhao Yu as his apprentice, but he was afraid that Zhao Dong would disagree.
After all, wielding knives and guns, fighting and killing people is really not a stable livelihood. If not, his father would not have objected so much back then.
Furthermore, he feels that his strength is not outstanding, and others may not be willing to worship you as a teacher.
But unexpectedly, Zhao Dong agreed directly.
After being stunned for a while, Cai lightly coughed and put away the frivolousness of the past: "Okay, okay, get up, wait for an auspicious day, and let's formally apprentice."
Speaking of this, the conversation suddenly changed: "However, let me give you a piece of advice first. Martial arts training is a very hard work. If you can't bear the hardship, you need to think carefully about it."
Zhao Yu stood up, raised his head, and said loudly, "I'm not afraid of suffering!"
Seeing the determination and joy on Zhao Yu's face, Meng Fusheng nodded in satisfaction.
Several people said a few more words before Zhao Dong sent Meng Fusheng away.
Early the next morning, Zhao Dong took Zhao Yu to the school to find Meng Fusheng as a teacher.
Meng Fusheng looked at the Six Rituals they had prepared, and was very satisfied with Zhao Dong's emphasis on this matter.
Appreciate the teacher and drink tea, and everything goes smoothly.
Since then, Meng Fusheng welcomed his first apprentice, and Zhao Yu also embarked on his own life path.
In the next few days, Zhao Yu would get up very early and go to the school to learn basic skills from Meng Fusheng. Sometimes it would take a whole day to learn. It just so happened that he went home with Zhao Zhitong in the afternoon.
The movement on their side naturally caught the attention of Zhao Zhitong's four little ones.
So, as soon as they came to rest in the hall, they ran to watch, and curiously followed Zhao Yu to squat and shake their fists.
—
When it was almost time for class, Meng Xuexue came to the school to prepare for class, but found that the four of Zhao Zhitong were not in the classroom, so he did not start class immediately, but waited for them at the door.
After a while, I saw a few little guys running back chasing and playing.
Zhao Zhitong saw the husband, and immediately ran to him happily to say hello.
Seeing the pure joy on the child's face, the husband couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
At this moment, Qiao Muchen and Wei Shulan also ran over, leaving only Zhao Yue limping towards this side.
Looking at the other children, they were also covered with withered grass leaves. The gentleman was taken aback for a moment, and then asked with a stern face, "Did you go to fight Zhao Yue again?"
Zhao Zhitong shook his head: "Sir, we didn't fight, now Zhao Yue is also our friend."
What he said was very confident: "We even took him to play with the big brother."
Qiao Muchen also nodded his head and explained: "He was naughty himself. He jumped down from the rock like Brother Meng, and sprained his ankle."
Seeing that the husband was worried, Zhao Zhitong said: "Don't worry, sir, Zhao Yue is fine. The elder brother has pinched his ankle and said it's fine. He is afraid of pain, so he dare not walk."
At this moment, Zhao Yue has already limped and moved over.
Meng Xuexue looked at the four little guys, but finally did not reprimand them, let them into the classroom, and started class.
In this class, the teacher explained Mencius's "Fish I Want" to the children, and the students listened very carefully.
Other students only listened to what the teacher said, but Zhao Zhitong was told by the husband, thinking of things in real life, so he began to regret the sentence that he could not have both.
She also shared her thoughts with Qiao Muchen, and Qiao Muchen frowned after hearing this.
Both of them were sitting in the first row, and the husband could hear the whispered discussions through the aisle, so he asked the two of them to come to the study with him after they left the hall.
So, after leaving the hall, the two held hands and rushed out to find Mr.
Inside the study.
Zhao Zhitong directly asked the question in her mind: "Sir, since Mencius wanted both fish and bear's paws, why did he give up fish and take bear's paws instead of trying to get them all?"
Qiao Muchen also nodded and asked, "Sir, do I have to give up one?"
Meng Xue stroked his beard and smiled. The reason why he talked about Mencius's "Fish I Want" today is because of his intention. It seems that his two most intelligent students really understood his intention, so they Come to ask.
Then he smiled and said, "Then, do you think it's a pity whether you give up the fish or the bear's paw?"
The two little guys nodded.
Scholar Meng smiled cheerfully: "Today, sir, I will give you the first principle of life, which is to take and give up."
Seeing the confused faces of the two little guys, Meng Xuexue got up and went to the yard to find a porcelain vase with a small opening, put a few peanuts in it, and then told them a story.
"Do you know how hunters catch monkeys?"
