Chapter 73: Learning Kung Fu with the Kids

Changshun and Shitou were sitting in the oxcart waiting. When they saw Li Qingqing and Zhou Yimo coming back, they quickly stood up and greeted them:

"Sister Qingqing, Brother Zhou, have you finished your business?"

"Well, let's go home first!" Li Qingqing ordered Shitou to drive the ox cart back to Lihua Village.

I came here in a hurry today and haven't arranged things at home yet. Now that I'm home, I'll have time to give Zhou's mother acupuncture and boil medicine.

This kid Shitou really knows how to drive an ox cart. He waved the whip skillfully and the ox took obedient steps. Even though the ground was bumpy, he drove the ox cart steadily.

Li Qingqing and Zhou An were very satisfied, and they smiled at each other.

Starting tomorrow, the family will officially start selling hunted animals, and the Zhou family's first overt source of income will begin to take shape.

The ox cart slowly drove into Lihua Village, immediately attracting the attention of the villagers.

Seeing that it was Shitou from the village driving the cart, they all put down their work and gathered around curiously.

"Shitou, whose ox cart are you driving?"

"You're a really good driver, boy! Look how well you've tamed this cow."

A few children followed the car excitedly, chattering.

This is the first ox cart in the village, isn't it a rare thing?

So much so that Li Qingqing and Zhou An had to ask Shi Tou to stop the ox cart, lift the curtain, and greet everyone.

"Sister-in-law, this is the ox cart our family bought. The road to town is too far, and it's too tiring to walk there carrying the prey, so we thought of buying an ox cart to make it more convenient."

Li Qingqing explained with a smile.

Zhou Yimo also nodded in agreement: "I will go to the town to study in the future. It will be more convenient to commute."

Everyone in Lihua Village now knows that Zhou's cousin taught Li Qingqing how to hunt and also taught Dashuang, Xiaoshuang and the others martial arts, which makes everyone in the village very envious.

Especially some children, who kept asking to come to Zhou's house to play, so the women had to keep them away every day.

The reason for the detention was that the women were afraid of disturbing Zhou's mother's recovery. After all, the bet between the Zhou family and Zhang was still there. If Zhou's mother's illness was not cured, they would lose twenty taels of silver.

I heard that since Mrs. Zhang fell down in Lihua Village, she has been asking Doctor Zhang to come to her home for treatment. Doctor Zhang hasn't come to the Zhou family for several days.

It seems that the Zhou family is not anxious now. I guess they have already gone to the town to get medicine for Zhou's mother?

The villagers were all guessing that since the Zhou family had bought an ox cart, they knew that they must have made some money from selling game during this period, so they went up to them with a smile and asked them all kinds of questions.

"Zhou's wife is really capable. She can learn hunting in no time. Can you ask your cousin to teach my dog ​​too?" A village woman smiled and pulled her little son to the ox cart.

"Wang, the Zhou family's daughter-in-law is very strong, so she learned quickly. Your dog is as thin as a stick, how can he learn to hunt?"

A village woman laughed and joked.

"Mrs. Zhou, why don't you let your cousin teach my son some kung fu? After learning kung fu, he will be very strong and there will be people who will want him even if he goes to work in the town." Another village woman asked.

When the village women nearby heard this, they thought it was a good idea. They thought that if they learned kung fu, they would be stronger and could do the work faster even if they were hoeing the fields at home. So they all shouted:

"Take my child to learn one too."

When the children nearby heard that their mother was willing to let them learn Kung Fu, they also laughed and shouted, "I want to learn too! I want to learn too!"

Li Qingqing's eyebrows twitched slightly when she heard this, and she glanced at Zhou Yimo.

Zhou Yimo happened to look over:

"Madam, why don't you let the children learn from Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang together? Our Lihua Village is close to the border. If a war breaks out, it would be helpful if the children know some martial arts."

"Yes, Zhou's wife, we are not learning for free, we have to pay tuition!" When the village women heard Zhou Yimo's words, they all agreed.

Li Qingqing motioned for everyone to be quiet, and she said with a smile:

"My husband's cousin came home recently. He taught me some martial arts. If you don't mind, you can let your children learn from my Dashuang and Xiaoshuang together."

"No problem, no problem!" Everyone laughed.

"Look at our own little kids, they usually just play in the mud when they have nothing to do. Why not let them learn it, just as a form of exercise!"

"Yes, Zhou's daughter-in-law, we don't mind and will still pay your tuition!" Several other village women also laughed.

"Okay, in that case, I agree! But the tuition will be waived. The children just need to help me with some work when they are free." Li Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"That's so embarrassing!" The village women responded with a smile.

"It's settled then. My family does a lot of heavy work! If you want to learn, you can come to Zhou's house tomorrow to sign up. After I clean up the house in the next few days, I will start teaching the children kung fu!" Li Qingqing announced.

Since the last time Li Qingqing and Zhou An discussed making bricks to build a house, they also took advantage of the morning while cleaning up the trap to survey the soil in the back mountain. The two have already selected a place and decided to start making bricks in the near future. They are planning to find someone to help.

Now, if the children learn kung fu from her, they can help with the chores and learn how to make bricks. In the future, if other villagers in Lihua Village need to build brick houses, the children can be of great help.

Moreover, she had originally been attracted by the talents of Da Shuang and Xiao Shuang, and after Mu Yunjing left, she was going to continue teaching them kung fu.

Teaching one person is also teaching, teaching a group is also teaching.

Just as Zhou Yimo said, there are more than 50 households and nearly 400 people in Lihua Village. The adult men have been conscripted one after another, leaving behind some women, the elderly and young children. If there is a war that really affects Lihua Village in the future, they can also prepare for an emergency.

Seeing that Zhou Yimo and Li Qingqing were easy to talk to, everyone asked, "Mrs. Zhou, can I ride in your ox cart when I go to town from now on?"

"The ox cart is used by Changshun and Shitou to sell their game. If you come across it, you can take a ride. We won't wait for you. I hope my sisters-in-law and aunts can understand." Li Qingqing said with a smile.

"Of course, but I can't let you delay your business."

"Even if it's just a ride, you still have to pay for the ride! You women, stop trying to take advantage of others."

The village chief's wife also rushed over and planned to take a look at the ox cart. When she heard everyone talking, she couldn't help but interrupt.

"Of course we will give it to you. The ox cart was bought with silver!" The village women hurriedly explained.

"Wife of the village head, I have good news for you. The Zhou family has agreed to let my son learn Kung Fu from them."

"Really? I have to go home and talk to my family, and have my two grandchildren sign up tomorrow."

Since the men are not at home, children are their hope, and the village women are so happy that they tell each other the good news.

Shitou drove the ox cart forward and arrived at the Zhou family yard. After parking the cart, Shitou and Changshun discussed it for a while and then came to Li Qingqing.

"Sister Qingqing," Changshun spoke first, his tone full of respect, "Excuse me, do you have any sickles here? We plan to go to the nearby mountains to cut some fresh grass for the cows."

When Li Qingqing heard this, a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes: "Of course there is a sickle. Ask Brother Zhou to take you to get it. You are really thoughtful."

"Sister Qingqing, from now on, the grass for the cow will be left to the two of us. Regardless of whether we are out driving or not, I will cut a bundle of fresh grass every day to feed the cow and make sure it has enough to eat."

Shi Tou also added immediately.

Li Qingqing looked at the two of them and couldn't help but admire in her heart: These two guys are really good, hardworking and responsible.

She smiled and said, "Okay! I'll trouble you two then!"
