Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

Chapter 165 Eldest Aunt, Youngest Aunt

He loves to laugh and play, but he doesn't like to cry or make a fuss.

She started babbling "Mama" at ten months old and stumbled as she learned to walk at one year old. She's fair-skinned and sturdy, not a picky eater and rarely gets sick. She learns everything quickly, and is both smart and well-behaved.

The entire village's grandparents were so envious and jealous that they wanted to snatch their own grandson!

With such a beloved grandson, the whole family dotes on him; how could anyone possibly scold or beat him?

However, we need to be careful of his second uncle, who has a very eccentric personality, so as not to lead him astray!

Lin Zhengyong grimaced and rubbed his numb, aching ear, and said with dissatisfaction:

"Mom, ever since you had your grandson, you haven't been so kind to your son. Look at how you pulled my ear, it's probably all swollen now, what if it gets damaged?"

"If things go wrong, you might as well go to the city to beg for food, so you won't have to stay at home all day with your foul mouth."

"..." What a heartless mother! Humph, when he has sons and daughters in the future, he'll play with them himself and not let her play with them!

Unbeknownst to them, the three people below the stage had been practicing for half an hour. Although they were deliberately given a hard time, Lin Zhengmin was still physically exhausted from dealing with two opponents at the same time.

He was panting heavily, and his movements became slower and slower.

"Alright, that's enough for today. Zhengmin, take good care of yourself and adjust your breathing. We'll come again when we have time." Lin Chunyi finished her practice.

"Brother Zhengmin, you've improved so quickly! I believe you'll definitely become a martial arts master in the future, hahaha!" Lin Lanshan praised him with a smile.

Teachers still like highly self-disciplined and exceptionally diligent students, even if they are less talented or have lower grades.

Of course, we won't be stingy with praise and encouragement.

The two sisters showed no signs of fatigue, and their voices were very steady.

After exchanging a few blows with the two sisters, Lin Zhengmin realized just how formidable they were.

I'm afraid even if I worked my butt off for twelve hours a day, I still wouldn't be able to catch up.

I was incredibly envious.

"Xiaoyi, Lanshan, thank you! I will!" he said, hoping it in his heart.

"You must be tired. Come over and have some water and rest for a while."

The two sisters went up the steps, took the cups from Aunt Zhang, and sat down on the small wooden stools. "Thank you, Auntie."

Xiaoman had been watching the audience intently since her father started boxing, and she had been watching until the end. Now, she tilted her head to look at the two sisters, her fair little face quite serious.

He looked left and right between the two of them, then decisively stepped forward and threw himself into Lin Chunyi's arms.

She said in a rather serious tone, "Auntie, I also want to learn how to play 'hehe haha' like Daddy."

"Hehe haha?" Lin Chunyi was taken aback for a moment and asked him subconsciously.

Xiaoman immediately left her aunt's embrace, assumed a horse stance with great seriousness, and then clenched her fists.

A left punch, "Hehe!"

A right punch, "Haha!"

"..." Everyone present stared in disbelief for a long while before bursting into laughter.

Lin Zhengmin, the only one who was laughing and chuckling, felt his face getting hot. Was that how he hit him?

Aunt Zhang wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes, picked up her beloved grandson, and rubbed her forehead with a smile:

"How clever Xiaoman is! She even found herself a mentor so early on, hahaha."

Lin Zhengyong, standing to the side, exclaimed in amazement, "My nephew is really bright; he's definitely got the talent to become a high-ranking official or a great general!"

Yang Huiyun, who was awakened by the laughter, came out of the bedroom and happened to hear her brother-in-law's words.

Looking at everyone surrounding Xiaoman with a puzzled expression, he asked, "What's going on? I just woke up from a nap and my son is going to become a high-ranking official?"

A kind-hearted, goofy-smiling father and a sleepy, puzzled mother gave birth to a clever and quick-witted child...

The two sisters both wondered if this was the legendary "two negatives make a positive".

Xiaoman struggled to get down from her grandmother's arms, crying, "Grandma, put me down, put me down! I want to learn how to laugh like an auntie, I can't let Grandma hold me!"

"Hahaha, alright! Our Xiaoman is a big girl now. She should walk by herself and go find her aunt to learn martial arts. Go ahead."

Aunt Zhang put him down.

He walked over, snuggled back into Lin Chunyi's arms, wrapped his arms around her neck, and began to whine and plead with her in a childish voice.

"Auntie, Auntie, please teach me! Grandpa and Grandma both say I'm very smart."

Lin Lanshan was displeased. She walked closer, gently pulled his arm away, and asked with a smile, "I'm your aunt too. I can also 'hehe haha'. Why don't you learn from me?"

Xiaoman rolled her eyes, revealing a row of baby teeth, and said proudly to her, "Because Auntie has to listen to Auntie too, hee hee!"

He's very clever; between big and small, the big one is definitely more capable!

"..." Lin Lanshan felt choked up; this reason was indeed irrefutable.

This time, everyone burst into laughter except for her, who was embarrassed.

"Alright, just for your clever little brain, your aunt will accept you as her apprentice!"

Lin Chunyi was overjoyed to see her younger sister get thwarted by the child. "Xiaoman, learning martial arts is an extremely difficult thing to succeed at!"

If you really want to learn, you'll have to grit your teeth and persevere. Don't give up halfway like your second uncle. Otherwise, your eldest aunt can be quite terrifying when she gets angry!

She gave Xiaoman an angry, stern look.

Xiaoman wasn't afraid; instead, she asked, "Auntie, what does 'giving up halfway' mean?"

Lin Chunyi didn't explain it to him directly, but instead gave an example:

"Giving up halfway means that you are standing on the ground, trying to reach the steamed bun on the table to eat, but you find that you can't reach it, so you simply give up eating it."

Xiaoman was puzzled, "Can't I ask Daddy to help me carry it?"

"Sure, but can Daddy get Xiaoman whatever she wants anytime? Can he get things for Xiaoman forever?"

Xiaoman frowned and thought: Daddy has to go out to work every day, Mommy has to cook and sweep the floor every day, and there are also Grandpa and Grandma... It seems like there really is no one who can get things for me anytime.

He could only shake his head dejectedly.

Lin Chunyi spoke very seriously to Xiaoman, who was not yet two years old, explaining the reasoning behind his words:

"Xiaoman, what others help you get is only temporary; it wasn't originally yours. What's there to be unhappy about?"

What you want, you should strive to get it yourself. If you can't get it yet, try harder, and you'll eventually get it!

Children may not fully understand profound truths, but these words will leave an imprint on their hearts, subtly changing them...

Xiaoman nodded as if she understood, then said firmly, "Auntie, I want to learn it myself. I won't give up halfway!"

At this moment, Lin Lanshan was thinking: Hmm, other people's kids are just so... fun!

Aunt Zhang and her sister-in-law were both shocked and relieved.

But they held their breath, neither disturbing Lin Chunyi's teaching of Xiaoman nor interrupting Xiaoman from expressing her own thoughts.

After hearing this, Lin Zhengmin felt very proud and believed that his son must be a child prodigy!

Lin Zhengyong was a little envious. This nephew was so cute! He wondered what would happen after he and Linlan got married...
