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...
While Shao Zhengyi was in an excited mood, Zhou Yan carefully explained the exercise route to him, and used his fingers to point out the acupuncture points on his body with his internal force, asking him to carefully feel the location of the acupuncture points, and then close his eyes and sit cross-legged to feel the operation of the route.
After Shao Zheng entered into a state of meditation, Zhou Yan returned to the cafeteria and joined the competition. Relying on his physical strength, these people were no match for him.
What's the difference between a ring match and a round-robin match? But Zhou Yan defended from beginning to end, forcing these men to submit.
A few of them who were more arrogant, even after eating the food Zhou Yan bought, did not really accept him. In this competition, he fought from the beginning to the end, and they didn't even give the other side time to breathe. One after another came up, but who knew that he could defeat everyone with ease. This time, these people were completely convinced.
The next morning, Shao Zheng regained consciousness and went to Zhou Yan. "Zhou Yan, I feel like I'm stuck. It's like I'm about to step forward, but I don't know where to start. I'm almost there, just a little bit more. If I could find the entry point, I'd be successful. This feeling has been so intense that I almost collapsed all night."
"Your mentality is not right," Zhou Yan shook his head. "Being impatient for quick success is a taboo in martial arts training. Put aside this impatience for now, calm down, and try again tonight. You should be able to do it. Based on your feelings, I will guide you again, and I guarantee you will succeed."
"Okay then!" Shao Zheng patted Zhou Yan's shoulder, "Listen to me, brother, and do it again tonight."
Several people in the logistics department are already boiling water to cook dumplings and glutinous rice balls. It is said that the excavation opportunity will arrive at nine o'clock. Everyone has been lazy for two days, and it is time to get into the intensive work.
At this moment, the sky that had been gloomy for two days began to snow. Zhou Xiang was worried about these people. It was really hard to work in the snow in the wilderness. Thinking of the difficulties her two sons faced when performing their tasks, Zhou Xiang sighed deeply. She had to be better to her two sons.
In the town of Xu, Ling Xiaoyi and Ling Xiaoyuan were dealing with the people who came to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the Lunar New Year. They all said that their mother was not feeling well and needed to rest for a while.
Regardless of whether others believe it or not, they just say so, and others cannot force themselves to see Zhou Xiang.
If they can't, someone can! Zhou Hua and Zhou Yu weren't allowed to see their sister either, so they'd been anxious for days. Now, seeing their two nephews entertaining guests outside, they decided to secretly go see their sister.
Who knew that he would have to go through three levels and kill five generals, with Lu Jing in the aisle, Lu Ying at the door, and it was said that Ling Xiaotong was also in the house.
Zhou Yu looked at his brother, "What do you think?"
"I'll stand and watch!" Zhou Hua turned and left. "Don't make trouble. They do this for a purpose. If you dare to ruin my sister's business, be careful of her revenge."
Zhou Yu shuddered. Never mind. She decided to suppress her curiosity. She was busy. Not only had her two sons returned with their daughters-in-law and grandchildren, but her future son-in-law was also here. She was going to accompany her family.
Wu Minyi asked for leave when he saw Yi Xiangfan coming to the market town. He was not as eloquent as Yi Xiangfan. Yi Xiangfan had already coaxed his cousin Tongtong to go to the capital, and he also ruined the tricks of Yi Xiangfan's two cousins. The capital was extremely lively at that time.
What about him? He went back to Beijing alone, always taking time off with his colleagues. Only when he had enough time to rest could he come and spend a few days with his girlfriend. Every time he tried to coax his girlfriend to go to Beijing, she refused, saying that she was not mentally prepared to meet his parents.
What are you preparing for? He didn't even say he wanted to meet her. Cousin Tongtong didn't go to the Yi family either! She just went to the capital and stayed in her uncle's courtyard house. Whenever she had time, she would go out on dates with Yi Xiangfan.
This time, he must persuade his girlfriend to go to the capital with him.
It’s not that Zhou Yuan doesn’t want to go, but she is not as free and easy as her sister Tongtong. She just feels that going to the capital will expose her relationship, and the possible pointing and criticism after the exposure makes her retreat.
Now, her boyfriend persuaded her again, and her two brothers also said that they wanted to go to Beijing together after the New Year, so she finally nodded in agreement.
Wu Minyi excitedly bowed to his two uncles to express his gratitude. Zhou Jian and Zhou Kang waved their hands. They did this not for the future brother-in-law, but for his sister. His sister still felt inferior in her heart and always compared herself with Tongtong and even with Hanhan. The result of the comparison was that she was not as good as these two sisters.
All of this was the shadow their mother had cast on them. So, when their mother said she wanted to go to Beijing with them, the two brothers refused. "Mom, you and Dad can go wherever you want to go. Don't come with us. We have women and children in our group, and we can't take care of you."
"Do you dislike me? Do you dislike me because I'm old?" How could Zhou Yu not see the perfunctory attitude of his two sons?
"Why do you need to say something when you already know it? Telling it will hurt the feelings of both of us. Mom, you should know that no one can tolerate you except Dad. If you don't change, you will always be disliked." Zhou Kang didn't give his mother a good face. His aunt told him that his mother was in menopause and it would be fine in a few years, but how many years has it been?
Zhou Yu was so angry that she wanted to throw her face, but her future son-in-law was there. She was very satisfied with this future son-in-law, a native of Beijing! After her daughter married him, she would be a Beijinger. If she told others about it, she would be proud. After all, her sister was right. A daughter is like a little cotton-padded jacket. Raising a son is not as good as raising a daughter!
After snorting at his two sons, he turned to chat with his daughter and future son-in-law.
Zhou Jian and Zhou Kang exchanged a glance, truly feeling tired for their sister. They had previously considered her useless and discarded her carelessly. If it weren't for their aunt taking care of her, who knows what would have happened to her! Was he seeing value in his sister again?
The two brothers found an opportunity to talk to Wu Minyi about their mother's psychological journey over the past twenty years. Wu Minyi nodded and said, "Don't worry, brothers. I understand my aunt's attitude. She's just currying favor with the powerful, but it's not serious. It's okay. I won't look down on Yuanyuan. She is the person I want to cherish the most. If my aunt wants to control her in the future, I won't agree."
Zhou Jian and Zhou Kang were relieved. Wu Minyi was a generous and sensible person. They only hoped that the Wu family would be the same.
After digging in the snow for a whole day, when it got dark, everyone returned to the cafeteria and drank hot ginger soup, which warmed their stomachs and hearts. It was said that the ginger was taken out by Boss Zhou. Although no one knew what Boss Zhou stored so much ginger for, they felt relieved to give it to them now. No mission had ever been as comfortable as this one, from accommodation to food to drink.
They were not good at expressing their gratitude, nor would they always say it. They would just clink their drinks with Boss Zhou and Ling Ran, and then have a good fight with Zhou Yan after the meal.
At night, Shao Zhengyi was ready and waiting for Zhou Yan to lead him in practicing martial arts. Then, a small bowl appeared in front of him, with half a bowl of liquid in it. He looked at Zhou Yan in confusion.
"This is a potion that will help you. After drinking it, and with the experience you had last night, you'll definitely succeed tonight. Not everyone can achieve success after drinking this potion. I just think you have talent, but your age is holding you back, so I'll give you a helping hand. Go ahead and start practicing your skills right after you're done."
