Xu Xia couldn't help but sigh, "Although Hu Zi started practicing martial arts a little late, he is a man of perseverance and willingness to endure hardships. Even Miss Qin, a young woman, has to endure this hardship with him. I don't know why."

Zhou Yu glanced at him. "Don't you know the saying 'Those who endure the most hardship become the best'? I actually think that the more girls you are, the more important it is to practice some self-defense skills, so that you can protect yourself even in danger."

"Are you thinking of the two young ladies?" Xu Xia asked tentatively.

After Zhou Yu's two younger sisters were taken back to Grandpa Zhou, they both fell seriously ill and are very weak. They are still taking medicine.

This time, Zhou Yu not only returned to the county, but also took time to visit his family.

He felt that his grandfather might have been a little too protective of his two younger sisters because he was worried about losing them and then regaining them.

I wish there was someone to do the walking and breathing for them.

But children are at the stage of physical and mental growth. The more you are reluctant to let them suffer, the more they will suffer in the future.

But old people become stubborn, and he couldn't persuade his grandfather.

In addition, although they are siblings, they have been separated for many years, and the two sisters are not very close to him, let alone confiding in each other, so he is not in a position to say many things.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but pinch his eyebrows.

Zhang Jinzhi opened the courtyard door and said with a smile, "I didn't believe what Huzi said before! My Lord is really back! Just in time for Laba porridge. I made it early this morning and it's just soft and sticky now. My Lord, please wash up and then we can have dinner."

Zhou Yu glanced casually at the yard next door. Through the low wall, he could see a group of people, big and small, standing in horse stances across the yard.

He rubbed his eyes, a little bit unbelieving.

Zhang Jinzhi smiled and said, "They have been practicing like this for a while, starting with the four members of the Zhao family.

"Later, Dashuan and Erya were born. Oh, and they came over in the evenings to help me learn reading, reading, and arithmetic. It was quite interesting to listen to their lessons every night."

While they were talking, the man next door finished his horse stance, punched and kicked a hundred times each, and that was the end of his morning class. Dashuan and Erya said goodbye and ran home.

The Zhao family returned to their house, wiped their bodies with hot water, changed into dry and warm underwear on the kang, and then began to eat breakfast.

An An had seen Zhou Yu a long time ago, but she still finished her Laba porridge obediently before jumping to find him.

On the way, he used his Sky Eye to find out what happened to him after he left Tongshutun.

Hey, handsome uncle wants to send his sister over to be raised by mom? How can that be possible!

An An was a little angry and stopped walking.

Mother is hers!

Her cheeks puffed up, and she didn't want to see Zhou Yu anymore.

Xu Xia happened to be coming out and saw her wandering outside the door, so he picked her up and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Why is our little An An not going in even though she's at the gate?"

"Your Uncle Zhou brought you a lot of fun things!"

An An was not in a good mood.

Xu Xia had already carried her back to the yard.

Zhou Yu heard the noise and came out, talking to An An with a smile: "An An, long time no see, you have grown up again!"

An An rolled her eyes. Isn't that nonsense? I'm in a period of rapid growth, okay?

Zhou Yu was amused by her little appearance. He took her from Xu Xia's arms and carried her back to the house. "It's cold outside. Let's talk inside."

Xu Xia moved all the things he brought for An An to the kang in Zhou Yu's room, and then went out again.

Zhou Yu took off An An's shoes and put her on the kang. He then untied the big bag and took out the things inside one by one, filling the entire kang.

Apart from two sets of clothes, shoes, socks, hats and headdresses, there are toys.

An An crossed her arms and patted him on the back of his head.

Zhou Yu had no choice but to go over, hold her on his lap, and ask her, "Who made our An An unhappy? Tell me, Uncle Zhou will take care of it for you!"

"You!" An An said angrily, can you still punish yourself?

"Me?" Zhou Yu was completely confused. "I just came back, how did I offend you?"

An An shouted, "Mother is mine!"

Zhou Yu's ears suddenly felt hot, and he stammered, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

An An rolled her eyes again, snorted, and said nothing.

Zhou Yu thought about it carefully. Ever since Zhang Jinzhi mentioned it that time, he had seriously questioned himself and it seemed that he was somewhat attracted to Qin Ying. When he came back to see her again this time, he became more certain of this.

But how did An An know?

An An gestured angrily: "My mother's baby is only this big!"

Zhou Yu suddenly understood and couldn't help laughing, "An An, do you know that I want to take my sister home and ask your mother to help raise her?

“Don’t say it’s just my idea. Even if it really works out, it doesn’t mean that they will be your mother’s daughters.

"That's my biological sister, isn't that a mess?"

An An's anger disappeared all of a sudden. That's right, according to seniority, she should call the handsome uncle's sister aunt.

But she couldn't bring herself to admit her mistake, and said stubbornly: "Mom will be tired!"

"I won't make your mother too tired," Zhou Yu hastily assured, "My two sisters are not young anymore. The older one is almost fifteen, and the younger one is about to be thirteen.

"They are all literate, but they may be a bit stubborn and physically weak.

"I'll discuss this with your mother first. If she agrees, I'll take her home. If she finds it too tiring, or if we don't get along well, I'll send her away."

Only then did An An say "Oh".

Seeing that she was no longer as angry as before, Zhou Yu showed her the gift again: "This is the Nine Linked Rings. I prepared a set of twelve for you. Here is also a set of Luban Locks..."

An An has seen these toys before, but has never played with them. They are quite interesting to play with!

She was so engrossed in this that she even forgot her daily routine of feeding the chickens.

Instead, Zhang Jinzhi took out some still warm eggs from the chicken coop, immediately had them stewed, and gave them to An An as a snack.

When the Zhao family prepared lunch and called An An to go back and eat, Zhou Yu handed An An and the big bag over across the wall.

Aunt Zhao still refused.

Zhou Yu said with a smile: "They are just some worthless little toys, just for children to play with."

Seeing that he was about to let go, Aunt Zhao quickly took it in her hand, fearing that the things inside would be broken.

Without waiting for her to say anything else, Zhou Yu went back to the house.

After everyone saw what was in the bundle, Zhao Hu murmured, "We can afford these things..."

Aunt Zhao frowned and said, "Master Zhou always buys things for our An'an. We... Yingzi, why don't we make a few pairs of shoes for Master Zhou? He's been running around so much, so he must need shoes."

Qin Ying was somewhat helpless. "Mom, people from big cities are different from us country folk. We country folks are not particular, but people of status don't just accept shoes, socks, and underwear."
