I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Decai opened his eyes, took a look at the lively Xiaocai, and closed his eyes again with relief.

Ji Xiaobei: What? Ji Decai died? Died of complications during childbirth?

Ji Xiaobei thought of these words in a daze.

what……

She got up, put on some clothes and got out of bed! ~

When I went out, I saw Xiaohua with an anxious look on her face, Xiaocai with big innocent eyes, and the Ji Decai couple who were whining and whispering to each other.

Ji Xiaobei: …

"Sister, hurry up and go practice martial arts. Mr. Fu will punish you if you are late!" Xiaohua climbed down from the stool with a red face.

"How can you say Ji Decai is dead?" Ji Xiaobei felt sad again.

Xiaohua blinked without any grievance: "I called you for a long time, but you didn't wake up, so..."

"Ah, you called me?" Ji Xiaobei also looked innocent and really didn't hear it.

Xiaohua took a look at the tools on the ground: a shovel, a fire stick, a spade, a bamboo pole...

"I used everything I could find in the yard to knock on your door, but you didn't wake up. I was afraid that if I broke the door, my mother would beat me..."

Xiaohua felt wronged and wanted to cry.

Ji Xiaobei rubbed her head and said, "Okay, big sister is sleeping too soundly, I'll wash up and leave right away!"

After washing up hastily and gathering his hair, Ji Xiaobei followed Xiaohua to the ancestral hall in a hurry.

"The orioles are singing on the river island. The beautiful lady and the gentleman..." Ma Haixia was sitting in the yard and reading aloud.

There were sounds of dancing sticks coming from the backyard: "Ha... hum... hey..."

"Ma Haixia, why don't you practice martial arts?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"I, I focus on studying, don't I?" Ma Haixia raised his head from the book.

"Studying is the main thing. I didn't say you can't practice martial arts!" Ji Xiaobei grabbed Ma Haixia's collar and dragged him to the backyard.

"If you don't work hard, what good will it do if you pass the exam?

If he gets sick and dies within a few days of taking office, then all his efforts in the exam would be in vain!"

"Ah...cousin, I...don't want to die..."

Fu Jichang turned around with a serious face and was a little surprised when he saw Ji Xiaobei. Is this woman really here?

She said every day that she would go to practice martial arts the next day, but she never did.

After hearing it so many times, people just treated it as a fart and no one took it seriously.

The hero, Xiaohua, pulled her elder sister to Fu Jichang and said, "Mr. Fu, I have brought her here for you. I will be able to rest now after practicing martial arts today!"

Fu Jichang: Kid, didn’t you say you wanted to help your elder sister get up early?

Forget it, no matter what, the fat woman finally got up.

"Xiaohua, go over there and put away the teaching stick. Ji Xiaobei will start warming up!" Fu Jichang said loudly.

"Mr. Fu, I'm very hot. I've been running all the way here. Don't be hot anymore. Let's start training right away!" Ji Xiaobei wiped the sweat from his head.

"That's fine, let's stand still first and adjust our posture..."

Ji Xiaobei picked up two large stones, placed them on the wooden stakes, and stood on them.

"Shi Tou, bring me two more stones." Ji Xiaobei said after adjusting his center of gravity.

"Sister, can you do it?" Shitou said nervously. He would not allow his elder sister to have any problems, otherwise he would cry to death.

Xiaohua came over with her back bent, carrying a big stone and her face flushed.

"Big sister, here you go. I found the biggest one. Oops, I can't move it anymore..."

Fu Jichang quickly took the stone from the good little girl Xiaohua’s arms.

"You, really can?..." Fu Jichang asked cautiously. After all, this woman was still very fragile.

"One piece is not enough, but two pieces are okay, otherwise I won't be able to maintain the balance!" Ji Xiaobei said seriously.

Fu Jichang picked up another piece and placed it in Ji Xiaobei's left and right hands.

Ji Xiaobei held a stone weighing more than ten pounds in one hand, as steady as a mountain.

This is just an enhanced version of standing still. Zheng Guo has been training her like this since she was a child.

Zheng Guo can still bear weight on his head, but she doesn't care about herself. She thinks Zheng Guo has a flat head because it is under pressure. It is too expensive to make the top of his head fluffy every time he gets his hair done.

Wow! Big sister is so amazing! Xiaohua clapped her hands excitedly.

I cursed Tiedan and Tieqiu in my heart: Why didn’t they come today? I won’t be able to see my elder sister perform acrobatics…

Fu Jichang: Is this rock-solid woman the same woman as the one crying out of fear?

A quarter of an hour later, Fu Jichang took the initiative to stop and let her come down.

Her basic skills are solid, but there's no effect from practicing like this.

Ji Xiaobei threw the stone in his hand and walked over with a smile. Fu Jichang took two steps back in fright. His smile was too cunning, it must be no good.

"What do you want to do?" Fu Jichang asked vigilantly.

"I want you to teach me some internal skills, so that I don't have to groan and haw, and I can easily grab me without blushing or getting angry."

That time when he took Ma Debiao to the town to hire workers, Ma Debiao was frightened and Ji Xiaobei wanted to chase him, but Fu Jichang grabbed him by the collar and he couldn't move at all.

She wanted to learn his kung fu.

"Want to learn?" Fu Jichang raised his eyebrows.

"miss you!"

"Get up early every day and practice standing still. Regulate your breathing for half an hour without any weight. After practicing for 49 consecutive days, I will teach you..." After Fu Jichang finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey! I know how to stand in a fixed position. I can stand like this for the whole day!" Ji Xiaobei was anxious and grabbed Fu Jichang's sleeve.

There was only a ripping sound, and the sleeve... the sleeve was torn off a bit.

"Mr. Fu, I'm sorry, your material is not strong enough. How about I ask Haixia Niang to make you a set..." Ji Xiaobei said embarrassedly.

Fu Jichang glared at her angrily: "If I wear the clothes in the room, I might die without a burial place!"

"No, I'm not asking you to wear a dragon robe..."

Fu Jichang pulled the half sleeve from her hand and walked away angrily.

The others watched him waving half his sleeves and disappearing into the corner, and they almost rolled over with laughter.

"What are you laughing at! Run five more laps today. Whoever doesn't finish them won't be allowed to eat!" Ji Xiaobei shouted with his hands on his hips.

Strait suddenly cried...

Ji Xiaobei ignored them, standing still and regulating his breathing...

After finishing their martial arts training, they took classes in Teacher Haixia’s cabin.

We practiced five extra laps today. Everyone was exhausted and listless. Haixia stood in front with his legs limp, holding a book, and his mouth was slurring…

"The country is ruined but the mountains and rivers remain; the city is overgrown with grass and trees in spring... My white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can hardly hold a hairpin!"

Teacher Haixia is reading.

The people below followed along, shaking their heads.

When he read the last two sentences, his voice became noticeably quieter.

Ji Xiaobei was familiar with this poem. When she was in junior high school, she couldn't memorize it no matter how hard she tried, so Zheng Guo made her stand for an entire night.

The next day, her Chinese teacher asked her to recite outside the corridor for a whole morning. She still remembers it clearly.

She listened with satisfaction. These people were really better than herself. They understood the poet's sorrow and misery so deeply that their voices became deep.

She pushed the door open and walked in, and Teacher Haixia's weak legs straightened up all of a sudden.

Everyone looked at Ji Xiaobei.

"You recited it well, Shitou. Can you explain what the last two sentences mean?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Shi Tou's already flushed face suddenly became even redder.

Shitou looked at Ji Xiaobei pleadingly, then looked at Teacher Haixia, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Sister, these two sentences are not very, not very good!" Shi Tou said in a low voice.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Ji Xiaobei was very confused.

Xiaoju didn't blush at first, but when she heard Shitou's words, she blushed even more than Shitou.

"Sister, I'm going out for a while..." Xiaoju covered her hot face and ran out the door.
