Hearing Xiao Erbao's question, Ning Huan replied with a smile, "This is called a wooden dummy. It's what Mommy uses when she's training."
Little Sanbao asked in confusion, "Mom, how are you going to exercise? Can I watch?"
Ning Huan nodded, and then briefly demonstrated a move to Xiao Sanbao.
Ning Huan, who lives in the modern world, has been learning self-defense since she was a child and has been practicing ever since. Her skill level has reached the point where as long as the person she faces is not a special forces soldier, they are not a big threat to her.
Seeing her mother skillfully drive the wooden dummy into the ground with loud thuds, her palms slicing through the air with a whooshing sound.
The four little ones were completely stunned. Did they really think their mother was this amazing?
Little Erbao asked, "Mom, I want to learn too. Can you teach me how to do this?"
When Ning Huan heard Xiao Erbao say he wanted to learn, she asked with great curiosity, "Erbao, why do you want to learn?"
Xiao Erbao said, "Because it looks really powerful, I think if I learn it, I can fight bad guys!"
Because during this period, Ning Huan often told them bedtime stories about punishing evil and promoting good, and how good is rewarded and evil is punished.
Whenever bad guys are mentioned, the four little ones get really angry.
Today, Xiao Erbao suddenly said he wanted to learn Ning Huan's self-defense techniques so he could fight bad guys in the future. Ning Huan found this very interesting.
She asked, "What kind of person does Xiao Erbao want to be when he grows up?"
Little Erbao thought for a moment and said, "I want to become a very, very powerful hero, and then help good people drive away the bad guys!"
Then he said to Ning Huan in a serious tone, "I heard from Xiao Taozi that the Emperor would thank such a person for fighting bad guys for the sake of good people and give him a lot of money."
Ning Huan paused for a moment, then realized that Xiao Erbao might have been talking about joining the army.
She smiled and patted her little one's head: "Since our little one wants to fight bad guys in the future, then Mommy will teach you the skills so you'll have the ability to fight bad guys. However..."
Upon hearing Ning Huan's agreement, Xiao Erbao hurriedly asked, "Mother, but what?"
Ning Huan said, "You have to be able to endure hardship to learn these things, and you must persevere and never give up."
Little Erbao nodded: "Mom, don't worry, I definitely won't give up. I can persevere, I can endure hardship."
Hearing their conversation, Da Bao and Xiao San Bao chimed in, "Mom, we want to fight bad guys too, can you teach us?"
Da Bao was clearly much more understanding than Xiao Er Bao. He said, "Mom, I don't want to join the army and become a general. But I want to learn. Can you teach me...?"
Ning Huan smiled and patted his little head, saying, "Of course you can. I'm just worried that if you encounter bad people or are in danger in the future, at least you can protect yourselves from harm."
"Of course, if you train very well, you can also protect other weaker people without getting injured yourself."
Da Bao and Xiao San Bao were overjoyed: "We want to learn too!"
Little Sibao lowered her head. Although she wanted to learn too, she was just a girl, and only boys could learn these things.
She asked weakly, "Mother, I want to learn too, can you teach me?"
After saying that, she seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly corrected herself, saying, "I will just stay by Xiao Sanbao's side and listen when Mother teaches him. I won't cause Mother any trouble."
Hearing this, Ning Huan asked, "Little Sibao, if you want to learn, your mother can teach you. Why do you say that?"
Xiao Sibao whispered, "Because I'm a girl, I'm afraid my mother won't let me learn these things, since they're things boys learn."
Ning Huan frowned. The words of these boys and girls were probably because Yao Shi and the others had scolded Xiao Sibao when they lived in the Zhou family before, which is why she remembered them.
She knelt down and touched Xiao Sibao's soft little face, saying, "What's wrong with being a girl? I'm a woman too, and I learned it just like that. We women should learn these self-defense techniques even more, so that if we encounter bad people who look down on us and want to bully us in the future, we can fight back fiercely!"
Hearing this, Xiao Sibao looked at Ning Huan and asked, "Mom, can I learn this too, since I'm a girl? Will I be able to fight off bad guys in the future?"
Ning Huan nodded with a smile and said, "Of course you can! As long as you can hold on, no one will dare to bully you easily in the future!"
Xiao Sibao nodded and said resolutely, "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely persevere. If I encounter bad people in the future, I will be able to fight them."
Ning Huan said with a smile, "Since you four little dumplings all want to learn, whether you want to use this skill to make a living, teach bad guys a lesson, or protect yourselves, you should all learn it seriously."
The four little ones looked at each other, and the second little one said first, "Mom, I will definitely work hard to learn your skills and become even better than you in the future."
Da Bao continued, "I will become incredibly powerful too."
Little Sanbao chimed in, "I'm definitely better than both of you, and I've beaten up the most bad guys!"
Xiao Sibao chimed in, "I'll definitely be very strong too. If any bad guys dare to bully me, I definitely won't be afraid anymore."
While eating breakfast, the four little ones were excitedly talking about these things. Zhou Jing'an asked with some curiosity, "What is your mother going to teach you?"
The four little ones replied, "Daddy, Mommy is so amazing! If we learn how to do it, we can fight bad guys!"
Seeing Zhou Jing'an's puzzled look, Ning Huan explained, "It's to teach them some self-defense techniques so they can protect themselves and avoid being bullied if they encounter bad people in the future."
Xiao Sibao said, "Mom said I can learn too. Even though I'm a girl, I'm not lacking in anything. Besides, if I learn these things, I can protect myself better. If I encounter bad people, I can chase them away."
Upon hearing Xiao Sibao's words, Zhou Jing'an looked at Ning Huan with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
He never expected this woman to say something so profound. Before, Yao would always scold Xiao Sibao, saying that she was a girl who couldn't do anything and would only be a money-losing daughter-in-law when she grew up.
Every time Zhou Jing'an heard this, he would comfort Xiao Sibao, telling her that girls are not like what Yao Shi said, and that girls can also do many amazing things.
However, when he was away, Yao would always scold Xiao Sibao, so now Xiao Sibao is extremely insecure.
Sometimes, she feels sad because she is a girl and feels that she can't do anything.
But Ning Huan told Xiao Sibao that she could learn too. Seeing Xiao Sibao's confident look, Zhou Jing'an secretly admired Ning Huan even more.
