In her previous life, her eldest brother died early, her second sister went blind due to illness, her third brother became autistic, and she herself lived a life of poverty and hardship, scavenging...
After some free time, New Year's Day 2002 arrived.
New Year's Day is on Tuesday, so last Saturday and this Monday were closed together, making it a three-day holiday from Sunday to Tuesday.
The food station's business not only did not decline due to the price increase of Yuhu Park tickets, but instead turned from the off-season to the peak season.
Zhou Xiang also filmed and uploaded a video of the arrival of the black swan, especially the video of the black swan flapping its wings and flying. In the camera, against the backdrop of the cold and bleak late autumn scenery, it blew away the desolation and dullness of late autumn and added a sense of vitality.
For one and a half consecutive months, revenue has tripled compared to the same period last year.
The employees who received their year-end bonuses yesterday were all grinning from ear to ear.
Boss Zhou’s year-end bonus has always been based on the Gregorian calendar. Boss Zhou said: Pay it out early so that everyone can buy their favorite New Year’s goods early.
The employees who received generous bonuses were happy, but the security guards in the third quarterly competition tried their best not to be among the last three.
Not only are their bonuses cut in half, but they are also afraid of being transferred, especially Yin Jiu and Li Chun, who have been in the bottom three for two consecutive times.
Although they were last and second to last once, if they are last two again this time, they will be under greater pressure next time.
Zhou Xiang was not interested in the security guards' competition. In such a cold day, would they sit on the roof and get some fresh air?
She called out to Lü Jing and Lü Ying, and waved to Ling Ran, "You haven't asked about security in a long time. Go check it out!"
After Ling Ran left, Zhou Xiang called his nephew, "Yan'er, do you still remember your uncle's exercise route?"
Seeing her nephew nod, she touched her chin and smiled wickedly, "Yan'er, you have to work hard and teach your aunt Lu Jing and Lu Ying, but you are not allowed to tell your uncle-in-law. If the two of them practice it, hehehe."
Zhou Yan shed a tear of sympathy for his uncle and said, "Okay, I'll teach Aunt Lu Jing and Aunt Lu Ying right away."
Only then did Lu Jing and Lu Ying understand why their sister-in-law didn't let them watch the ranking competition. It turned out that she was secretly trying to make trouble for the boss!
The eldest brother hasn't been sticking around his sister-in-law recently, and the two girls asked him curiously. The sister-in-law naturally told them the reason. They were not interested in martial arts secrets, and since the sister-in-law wanted to use them to attack the eldest brother, they had no objection.
However, "Sister-in-law, don't hold your hopes too high! We can't guarantee anything."
Zhou Xiang patted his chest and said, "I can guarantee that when you first came here, Kong Keyan poached some of your people. Have you forgotten?"
Lu Jing was stunned for a moment, "Okay! Sister-in-law believes in us, we will definitely work hard."
"Just be average. Don't be like your boss who works himself to the bone. That way you can strike with the greatest impact."
Zhou Xiang couldn't help laughing when she thought about seeing someone meditating and snoring every time she returned to the room. Her lover was working hard for her. She couldn't laugh at his efforts, but she could undermine his confidence.
The training ground was naturally in Lu Jing and Lu Ying's room, and Zhou Xiang accompanied them throughout the whole process.
Only when his nephew wiped the sweat off his forehead did Zhou Xiang stand up, pick up his nephew with a heavy heart, and quietly walked out of the room.
"Thank you for your hard work, Yan'er. Do you want to get some more medicine?" Zhou Xiang said, with two small medicine bottles in his hands.
Zhou Yan took it and said, "Thank you, auntie. I'll go back to my room."
"Yes! Auntie will carry you over."
Zhou Niao, who was painting, was startled. "What happened to Yan'er?"
"It's okay, it's okay. You've been practicing for too long." Zhou Yan quickly comforted his father.
Zhou wanted to put his nephew into the second bedroom and close the door before telling his eldest brother the reason.
Zhou Niao was relieved. "It's okay. I'm very happy that Yan'er can help you. It would be great if he could dampen Ling Ran's enthusiasm."
He has been a little dissatisfied recently. His brother-in-law knew that he had no energy, but he still forced himself to continue, wasting time.
"Yes, that's my purpose. I won't disturb you from painting. You can keep an eye on Yan'er."
"Um!"
Zhou Xiang, who was waiting in the living room, waited for the first person not Yan'er who had recovered his strength, but the excited sisters Lu Jing and Lu Ying.
Zhou Xiang looked at the two excited people and said, "Tell me how you feel."
Lu Jing said, "After Yan'er led the operation for one week, I followed suit for the second week, and then I ran the third and fourth weeks on my own."
Lu Ying nodded, "Me too."
"What about now? Do you feel the qi that Yan'er mentioned?" Yan'er explained a lot of words and acupoints to them.
Sisters Lu Jing and Lu Ying were already very familiar with acupoints. They memorized the acupoints so as not to leave any evidence after beating someone up, so they just wasted some time on professional vocabulary. Now, only over an hour later, the two of them came out, so there must be a good result.
Lu Jing shook her head. "I don't know what qi sensation is, but I feel qi in my stomach, which is what Yan'er calls internal energy. My sister and I are the same, we both have stored a little bit of internal energy. We didn't hold out hope at first, but now that we can cultivate internal energy, we have some deeper questions that we want to ask Yan'er."
Zhou Xiang laughed twice and immediately covered his mouth. His nephew was still practicing!
"Genius, no, you must be the legendary martial arts prodigy. Yan'er hasn't come out yet. He's too tired and is recovering."
"Then, let's go back to the house and practice?"
Just as Zhou Xiang agreed, Zhou Yan came into the living room. "Auntie Lü Jing and Lü Ying, you're out? How do you feel?"
Lu Jing repeated what she had just said to her sister-in-law. Zhou Yan and his aunt gave the same compliment, "Aunt Lu Jing and Lu Ying, you are both martial arts prodigies. No wonder Kong Keyan wanted to recruit you!"
Lu Jing believed it this time. Maybe, the two sisters could really become unique masters! Become the kind of person Zhou Kai wanted to be.
"Sister-in-law, when Zhou Kai comes back, will he blame you for being selfish?"
"He's just not smart. Don't blame me. Isn't his cousin-in-law the same?"
Lv Jing and Lv Ying smiled and nodded, "Okay, we must practice secretly and scare everyone in one fell swoop."
Then the two asked some deep questions, and Zhou Yan answered them all. This level of martial arts was naturally lower-level compared to the Kong family's practice method. Zhou Yan didn't even need to look for books, he could answer directly based on his own practice.
Finally, Zhou Yan said to the two aunts, "If you want to advance quickly and store more internal energy quickly, the Yuan Yin body is the best."
Zhou Xiang sprayed the tea he had just taken a sip of onto the coffee table.
Zhou Yan looked at his aunt, "Aunt, you are making a fuss. We must understand these things as soon as we start practicing."
Zhou Xiang seriously doubts whether his nephew will be able to have a normal relationship in the future?
"Alright, alright! I'm short-sighted, Lv Jing and Lv Ying, you decide for yourselves. On one side is the martial arts value, and on the other side is the lover. Not only have you found the sense of Qi, you also have your own internal energy.
Even this alone is enough to undermine your boss's confidence, lest he stubbornly refuse to admit that he has no wisdom."
Lu Jing and Lu Ying exchanged glances and immediately shook their heads, "No, we need a strong military force."
They actually understood the boss's thoughts very well. The Kong family kidnapped people twice right under their noses, which made them feel defeated. Although they were defeated by drugs, it made them want to beat their chests and stamp their feet. Now that the opportunity is in their hands, why would they let it go?
