Chapter 166 2-Year Agreement
The group of people had different expressions, and their thoughts drifted in different directions.
Lin Chunyi, one of the parties involved, was also satisfied with what Xiaoman said, and thus extended her little finger.
"Okay, Auntie will remember what you said! Starting tomorrow, you will practice horse stance with your father and run laps in the yard."
Keep at it for two years. If you're still willing to learn after two years, I'll teach you. Pinky promise!
"Pinky promise!" Lin Yuanman imitated her by extending her little finger, but when she found that she couldn't hook it, she put her five fingers together and tightly grasped her little finger.
Lin Zhengmin said to Lin Chunyi, "Xiaoyi, if Xiaoman really has a talent for martial arts, you can teach him."
We won't let you teach us for free; we'll definitely pay your tuition. We'll be relying on you from now on!
He is aware of his own situation.
At most, it's just that these two sisters have a good relationship with my family, and they took over Uncle Jiancheng's teachings, occasionally giving me a few pointers.
It wasn't exactly proper teaching.
But Xiaoman is different.
Judging from Xiao Yi's words, she really intends to take him as her apprentice.
Then we should follow the rules. When he gets a little older, he should offer tea and kowtow to his master, pay tuition, and formally become an apprentice.
Lin Zhengmin knew very well that his talent was limited, and no matter how hard he tried, he probably wouldn't go very high in this lifetime.
But Xiaoman still has a chance. With such a powerful master, she might really become a great general in the future!
As he thought about it, his heart was filled with excitement.
Yang Huiyun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyi, if you are willing to let Xiaoman become your apprentice, we will definitely follow the rules and won't let you down. If not, that's fine too. You can still teach him a few words from time to time."
With such a good opportunity, she had no choice but to accept it immediately. Yang Huiyun also had great confidence in the abilities of the Lin Chunyi sisters.
She felt that since they started guiding her, even Lin Zhengmin, that blockhead, had learned better than before!
Lin Zhengyong said somewhat embarrassedly, "Xiaoyi, you and Lanshan can't just focus on your elder brother's son..."
"?"
He said hesitantly, "After I get married next year, you all have to take care of my son and daughter too. You can't favor one over the other."
"..." Lin Chunyi opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer him.
Lin Lanshan gave him a complicated look, "Zhengyong, you, you... never mind, let's talk about it later."
Lin Zhengyong's son and daughter probably won't need their teachings...
"The food hasn't even been served yet, you're already thinking about what to eat for tomorrow? You're so happy, are you still dreaming?" Aunt Zhang gave him a cold glance.
Lin Zhengyong's face turned red. "Mother! What are you saying!"
It's no wonder he speaks without thinking; his parents talk like that, so he just imitates them.
Lin Chunyi said seriously, "Let Xiaoman practice the basics first. If he doesn't change his mind after two years and can still persevere, it won't be too late for me to take him in."
We can't be too absolute in our statements. What if the kid was just acting on a whim? Wouldn't that make everyone feel awkward?
She patted Xiaoman's head and then dropped the subject.
……
At dawn, the two sisters led the mule cart out of the village chief's house.
Aunt Zhang reminded them, "By the way, I mentioned the bath tub you wanted to carpenter Wang in the village yesterday."
"Once it's ready, you can come and pick it up at your own pace."
Lin Lanshan sat in front of the carriage, bent down and said, "Thank you so much, Auntie. We'll come to pick it up in half a month."
"How much do these two bathtubs cost in total? I'll pay you now, and you can pay any overpayment or the difference later."
Aunt Zhang waved her hand, "Hey~ how much could two wooden buckets cost? We'll talk about it when you come back to pick up your things next time."
"Alright, we'll be going now. Auntie, you should go back now."
After leaving the village chief's house, they went to Yang Yu's house to tutor two children.
Sigh, this is probably the trouble of being a teacher...
Perhaps yesterday's words were too harsh, because Yang Yu and Ashu are in an unusually good state of mind for studying today.
"Hmm~ This looks much better than this." Lin Lanshan said with satisfaction, sitting on a small wooden stool on the steps.
Ahua came over from the front yard. "Sister Lanshan, Sister Chunyi, have some water to soothe your throat."
Lin Lanshan took the bamboo cup and said, "You're still sick, why are you getting up? If you catch a cold from the wind, it will get worse."
"Hey, this bamboo cup..." She raised her hand and examined the cup carefully.
"These are new, not our two." Lin Chunyi noticed this the moment she took the cup.
However, there were no markings engraved on the bottom of these two cups.
Since there weren't any extra stools, Ahua simply squatted down next to Lin Lanshan and replied with a smile:
"I'm dressed warmly, so I won't catch a cold. When Brother Yang Yu and my brother practice martial arts, I'll be here watching, which will help me remember more of what they're doing."
The cups that Sister Lanshan gave us are still inside. This one was made by my brother from bamboo he cut down, according to her design.
Ahua couldn't explain why she always couldn't help but get closer to Sister Lanshan.
Whether it's the way she kicked the bad guy away without even looking,
It was when she accompanied her brother a little further so that others wouldn't steal their steamed buns from them,
She took two glasses of warm water from the carriage—water they hadn't seen in a long time, so clean and clear that they could see their own dirty faces reflected in it…
Each and every scene reminded her of something that made her feel that there was probably no one in the world as capable and kind as Sister Lanshan.
Subconsciously, I wanted to learn from Sister Lanshan, to get closer to her, and to become as good as her.
Even the cup he drinks from, he wants to use the same one as hers.
The reason that Ahua couldn't understand was called—worship.
As for the two cups that Sister Lanshan gave me, they were the first things she ever gave to herself and her brother, and they were the cups that saved their lives!
Something so important and meaningful. To avoid damaging it, of course they carefully stored it in a box in their bedroom.
Inside were the copper coins they had worked hard to earn during this time. Once they had saved up an ounce or two of silver, they could return the money to Sister Lanshan.
They remember these kindnesses, and they will always remember them!
"Alright, then go get a stool and sit behind us. Be careful of the cold wind." Lin Lanshan picked up Ahua and shooed her back to get a stool.
"Okay, I'll get it right away!"
Lin Chunyi turned to watch Ahua skip away, and said thoughtfully:
"Don't you feel that Ahua seems to be particularly dependent on you, and Ashu also prefers to stay close to you?"
From the moment I brought the two siblings to Youxian Village until now, every time we meet, their eyes and bodies are involuntarily drawn closer to Lin Lanshan.
Could it be that they became dependent on Lin Lanshan and treated her like a godmother just because she saved them...?
After all, Lin Lanshan has practiced martial arts since childhood and has eaten a lot of meat and fish, so she is now nearly 1.7 meters tall.
He was more than a head taller than the brother and sister, and they didn't look like they were about the same age at all.
In addition, her skin tone is, well, yellowish, so she really gives people a strong sense of security.
Lin Chunyi couldn't help but think of the image of her younger sister being followed by two tiny little kids, roughly the same age, never leaving her side.
I couldn't help but laugh.
It's really quite delightful, hahaha!
