A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

Chapter 183: Martial arts secrets in exchange for 5 cents?

When Wang came out to call Tian Xiaoman in for dinner, she only found an empty big stone.

"Dad, come out and check where the fourth child is. Where did the child go?"

The younger girl is not like the older girl. She is always honest and will always inform the family before leaving.

This time, why did he disappear without even saying hello?

Tian Danian was also panicking, "Don't worry, I'll go to the village to see if they have gone to look for Xi Que or Xiao Miao and the others."

It was cold and no one wanted to walk around in the village. The children were bored at home, so Tian Danian wondered if Tian Xiaoman had gone to play with his friends.

Before Tian Danian put on his thick cotton coat and went out, Tian Xiaoman ran back with a smile on his face.

As soon as she entered the yard, she started yelling.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, Hanhan, everyone come out quickly, I have good news to announce."

Everyone gathered in the yard, and saw Tian Xiaoman was very excited, holding a book in his hand and laughing happily.

"My girl, where have you been? Your mother and I have been worried about you for a while. When you go out next time, you must let me know and ask your second sister to accompany you."

Nowadays, kidnappers like to kidnap pretty girls like you.

Especially after the little girl grew taller and gained weight, she could be considered a little beauty. There were so many girls of the same age in the village, but none of them could compare to her in terms of looks.

Mu Tou noticed the book in Tian Xiaoman's hand at first sight. This thing was rarely seen in his home. Could it be that his sister had borrowed it from the Zhao family next door?

"Could it be that you are going to take the exam to become the top female scholar?"

Tian Xiaoman cleared his throat, his excitement evident on his face.

"Dad, look, what good stuff did I get?"

She stuffed the book in her hand into Tian Danian's hand, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

She motioned to Tian Danian to open the book and take a look. Tian Danian opened the book and looked down.

Oh, this is a pretty random name—This is a martial arts secret book.

"My girl, where did you get this book? Did you borrow it from Xiaoshu?"

Tian Xiaoman shook his head.

"Did you get it from the old village chief's house?"

Tian Xiaoman shook his head again, "Dad, don't guess anymore. I'm afraid you won't be able to guess it even if you rack your brains."

Tian Danian opened the book and flipped through the pages. "Why does it look like a picture book?"

In the book, simple lines are used to draw many little people, but these little people are doing different actions, and it seems that they are really practicing some martial arts.

Moreover, the moves were quite well-proportioned and seemed quite good.

"Daughter, tell me the truth. Where did you get this book from?"

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Second Sister, Third Brother, Silly, do you think I was squatting on the stone at the door for nothing these few days? I was just observing."

"Observe? Observe what?" Mu Tou spoke quickly and asked the question that was in his mind right away.

"The last time Aunt Taoxiang and her family came to visit, I heard from Aunt Taoxiang's eldest cousin that there was an old man with a white beard in their village, who specialized in exchanging martial arts secrets for things! It could be a few pieces of candy, or a few coins, or even half a pound of grain. As long as the price is fair, you can get a martial arts secret from him."

Tian Taoxiang is the daughter of the old village chief. She is two years older than Tian Hexiang. She married to a man in the next county. Usually, Tian Fuyuan's family in the next county takes care of her, so she doesn't come back often.

On the second day of the Chinese New Year, he actually stayed at home for a day. His eldest son, who was about the same age as Tian Xiaoman, was always lively and active, and got along very well with the children of Tian Danian's family. Every time he came to visit his maternal and child family, he would play with Tian Xiaoman, Tian Xiaochun and others.

"For several days in a row, I have been waiting at the door, hoping that the old man with white beard can come to our village, hehe!"

Tian Xiaoman rubbed his pocket and said, "I took out five cents of my New Year's money and exchanged it for this book. The old man with white beard said that this is a martial arts secret book, and anyone who practices it can become a great hero."

"Five cents for this thing?"

Wang was furious. That was five cents. What use could this book be for? It was full of little people and couldn't even be used to keep accounts. It was a waste of five cents.

The veins on Shitou's forehead were throbbing. "Mom, do you need to listen to what you are saying?" At the very least, this is a book. I'm afraid that with five cents, you can't even buy a few dozen sheets of rice paper in a bookstore in the county, let alone a book.

"Mother, it's only five cents. I'm happy to spend it, so don't be angry."

Tian Xiaoman argued: "Mom, this is a martial arts secret book. The old man with white beard said that practicing martial arts secret books can not only strengthen the body, but also prolong life. I think - why don't we practice it together as a family."

Wang spat and simply stopped paying attention to the little girl and went back to the kitchen to continue working.

Look, all the children she gave birth to were to irritate her. She spent five cents to buy a thing that is of no use to her. She can’t eat or drink anything, and it’s so noisy!

When Tian Xiaochun heard that this was a martial arts secret book, his eyes immediately turned red. He immediately rushed to Tian Danian's side, staring at the little figures on the picture, wishing he could stare a hole in the picture.

Tian Danian flipped through a few pages and was secretly surprised. This was actually a martial arts secret book, with coherent movements and unique techniques.

Following the drawings in the book, he stretched out his left hand and secretly learned the moves from the book.

After looking at a few pictures, sweat broke out on his forehead, as if he had really realized something.

He turned his head and saw the eldest girl next to him, who was also acting very well like him.

However, since he was holding the book in one hand and only had one hand to play with, he couldn't see anything for a while.

But the eldest daughter used both hands to imitate the little man in the picture, and Tian Danian could even feel the wind contained in the palm of his hand that his daughter swung at him.

He was secretly surprised. A martial arts manual bought for five cents? Wasn't it the biggest bargain in the world?

He looked secretly at his little girl again. Should he say that the little girl was lucky, or should he say that his family was lucky?

However, when no one was paying attention, Tian Danian raised his eyebrows slightly, and there was a hint of imperceptible suspicion in his eyes when he looked at the little girl.
