The group had lunch and rested enough. Chai Zhen said it was time to load the cart and go. Everyone loaded the farm tools, the bell, and the carpentry tools onto the cart. Chai Zhen said, "Brother Blacksmith, make three more large pots." Chai Zhen took out three large silver ingots and gave them to the old blacksmith, saying, "You were short of twenty-six taels last time. Here are thirty taels. The remaining four taels is the deposit for these three pots." "Okay," the old blacksmith accepted them. Brothers should settle accounts clearly, that's how it should be. He left five pounds of bacon and a bag of flour. It was a small token of gratitude for so many people eating and resting here. Before leaving, Chai Zhen said, "Brother, take a break. I just had a drink, so there's no rush." ​​"Okay." The old blacksmith saw everyone off and stood at the door. Once the carriage was out of sight, he went back to the house, closed the door, locked it, and went back to rest. He was tired from working all this time.

Jiaxing drove the truck, and everyone got on Howard's carriage. Xiaodong fell asleep in the carriage, and Chai Zhen held the child. He was twelve years old, but too small. He was not as important as his nephew. "Ah."

By dusk, they were home. The carriage was still fast! They sighed! Huo Hua said, "Uncle, let's plant the grain and unload it at the school." "Well, it'll be convenient for everyone to come and buy it." "It's right at my house."

The crowd was quickly unloaded, and Sun Gui took off his bag. Huo Hua wanted to send the others off, but Chai Zhen said, "No need. Put the baggage on this cart, and let's walk a few steps." "Okay." Jia Xing drove the cart, entered from the west gate of his house, and stopped in the yard. Several children surrounded the cart and said, "What delicious food did grandpa buy for us?" Chai Zhen pouted and pulled Xiaodong out from behind, and asked the children to look, "This is the treasure grandpa brought back for you, do you like it?" Ah... The little guys were stunned, looking at each other. Chai Zhen picked up the little milk bag and said, "Guoguo, do you like this little brother?" The little milk bag had never taken his eyes off the little boy since he saw him, he was so handsome. "Hello, brother," the little milk bag said softly. Xiaodong looked at Chai Zhen, and Chai Zhen said, "Call me sister, "This is Guoguo, your fourth uncle's daughter, you call me grandpa."

After unloading, Jiaxing picked up the carpentry tools and brought them to Li Dong's house. Li Guang also picked up the big bag and said, "Uncle, I'm going home." "Well, let's go back. I'm tired. I want to rest early."

Chai Zhen looked at the people in the yard and said, "This is Xiaodong, bought by Huo Hua. Originally, he wanted to find a helper for the old blacksmith. The child was too thin, so I took him back. I wanted to adopt him under Jiale's name, so I took back his household registration and then asked someone to return the money to Huo Hua. Let's get to know everyone. We have a big family and many children. You will have someone to play with." Old lady Li brought them food and told them to have dinner first. Chai Zhen said to Old lady Li, "Bring a pair of quilts to my room and sleep with me." Old lady Li said

"Dad, let this child sleep with me. I'll take care of him." "No problem. Come with me. We'll get used to each other later. He can sleep with whoever he wants." "Okay then." Old Lady Li carried her quilt to Chai Zhen's room in the east courtyard and made the bed for his father. Chai Zhen said, "Huanhuan, take brother Xiaodong to sleep in Great Grandpa's room." The children grabbed Xiaodong and ran away like a swarm of bees. Xiaodong, still clutching his bag in one hand, ran after the children. He was slightly taller, the oldest of the group, but he was happy to run with them. He felt like he was dreaming today. His life had never been so rich as it was today. It felt like he had experienced many great things, ups and downs.

He placed the bag on a large kang he had never seen before, looked around and called out, "Brother Xiaodong, come play for a while." Huanhuan said, "Are you sleepy?" "No, I slept on the way here." "Okay, let's play." Little Milk Bag Lao Si came over and played with the children, running around in the yard, chasing each other...

It was late at night, and the children were asleep. Sun Quan arrived, calling Jiayu. Huo Hua also arrived, saying, "I want to learn martial arts from you." Chai Hua replied, "It's very hard, but if you can persevere, follow me and practice."

They arrived outside the gates, where a large open space provided ample space for practice. Many villagers eager to learn martial arts arrived. Chai Hua led the way, teaching close combat, with many others following behind. Even the bodyguards stood in the background, following suit. The martial arts they learned were different from Chai Hua's. This style of martial arts was suited to battlefield combat. It involved close-quarters group combat, single-stroke combat, no frills. A single strike could kill. On the battlefield, it was life or death; lives were at stake. These people studied diligently. The village children meticulously studied every single move. Within just a few days, it had become a habit; every time around this time, those eager to learn martial arts arrived. Many arrived late each day because they were taking night classes. They studied for half an hour at the hour of Xu, returning after class. The training ended at the hour of Hai. Lao Si and the bodyguards spent the longest hours studying. Sometimes they practiced archery and horseback riding, attacking from horseback. Chai Hua required them to study for half an hour every night. Chai Hua taught diligently, and everyone studied diligently and attentively.

As midnight approached, people said their goodbyes and went home to rest. The Chai family, a group of them, hurried to the river to bathe. "It's nice that it's not cold!" "A bath will wash away all the fatigue." "Hahahaha," the fourth brother laughed heartily. Everyone chatted in a flurry, bathing quickly and returning quickly, soon falling asleep.
