Chapter 222 Chapter 222 Wu Shifu

As they were talking, Zhang Yuandong came back with his two children. Lingling and Wanli sneaked in from outside first. Before they saw anyone, they heard the two children's cheers: "Mom, mom, you will never guess where dad took us!"

The brother and sister entered the house and saw Zhou Aixiang and Sun Xilai were there. They stopped in their tracks and called them politely.

Zhou Aixiang smiled and said, "Oh, what good thing has happened to you? You are so happy!"

The two children looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Zhang Yuandong came in from behind and said with a smile: "I found a master for them to teach them martial arts in the future."

Ling Ling happily threw herself into Lin Yue's arms and said loudly, "Mom, my master is taller than Dad, and he's as strong as a bear!"

Zhou Aixiang laughed out loud and teased Lingling, "Haha, if you say that about your master, be careful or he won't teach you anymore!"

Sun Xilai also smiled. She was infected by the two children and forgot about the unpleasantness of today. She asked curiously: "Where did you find the martial arts master? Is he from the army?"

There is a new soldier who is good at martial arts in Ma Fangdongying. I heard that he will go to the eastern defense line with Zhang Tuan in a while. This is the first time Sun Xilai has heard of such talents. He always thought that such people only exist in novels.

Wanli was just as excited as Lingling. He said happily, "Auntie, my master is not from our army. He lives deep in the mountains. My father took us on a long journey. Everyone in his village is very strong and knows martial arts. They are amazing!"

"Yes, my master also likes to eat honey, just like the big bear in the story my mother told us! When he saw the honey we brought, he was very happy and immediately agreed to accept it from us!"

"Wow, that thing is not cheap, you guys are really willing to spend money on it!" Zhou Aixiang smacked her lips. She had seen it the last time she went to the city. It was six or seven yuan per pound, equivalent to half a month's salary for an ordinary worker. It was definitely a luxury item.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "How could this be bought? His father found a wild beehive in the mountains yesterday and brought back some honey. He was so secretive, I didn't know what he was going to do before, but it turns out it was for this!"

Ling Ling was anxious and loudly defended her father, "It wasn't discovered. My father went to look for it to prepare a gift for the master. He even got stung on the face while looking for honey!"

There was indeed a big bump on Zhang Yuandong's forehead, which was swollen. The two of them went over to study it carefully for a long time, and muttered: "I heard that there are beehives in the mountains. My careless kid poked one down last time and got stung so badly that his face was swollen. But there was nothing in that beehive!"

"That's right. When I was in my hometown, I saw a kid poking a beehive and got beaten by his father!"

Zhang Yuandong was surrounded and stared at by two people. He took two steps back uncomfortably and bumped into Lin Yue.

Lin Yue held two glass jars with orange liquid in them. She handed the jars to Zhou Aixiang and Sun Xilai, "You must be talking about a wasp nest. There is no honey in it. The honeycombs with honey are usually very large. Here, I still have some left. Take it back and try it."

The two of them waved their hands and refused, "No way, this is such an expensive thing, and Zhang Tuan spent a lot of effort to get it, save it for the children!"

Lin Yue stuffed the cans into the two people's hands and said, "Take them. There are still a lot. But you have to return the cans to me. I need to use them to store pickled vegetables!"

Sun Xilai joked, "The pickled vegetables you make are delicious. I was thinking of asking you for some, but now that I've taken your honey, I'm too embarrassed to ask for it again!"

"What's the big deal? I'll decorate the place for you guys before we leave!"

Ling Ling said anxiously: "Mom, I will go to my master's place in a few days, you can also decorate for my master! Um... decorate more, my master might eat it, just like my father!"

Lin Yue said unhappily: "I know!"

Zhou Aixiang teased her: "You are so loyal to your master, what did he teach you?"

Ling Ling thought for a while before saying, "Master said that we have great strength but not enough endurance. We have to do horse stance with buckets every day. That's it!" She squatted down and did a horse stance, and continued, "Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Master said that we can go and learn after Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Zhou Aixiang and Sun Xilai didn't understand, so they just listened for fun. After listening to a few more sentences to satisfy their curiosity, they looked at the time and saw that it was almost time for dinner, so they stood up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Zhou Aixiang walked behind. She held Lin Yue's hand, making sure the two children couldn't hear her, and then whispered, "They want to learn martial arts, so you really found a martial arts master for them! You two should not spoil your children too much, it won't have any future!"

Her eyes were full of doubt, "You are not afraid that they will go to the countryside, so you are desperate to find a cure?" In her impression, the so-called people who knew martial arts were those jugglers in the past, who would go from house to house to beg for food after performing in the village.

Lin Yue said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about? What does this have to do with going to the countryside? Practicing martial arts is to strengthen the body. Look at Xiao Chen from the Seventh Company. Isn't he highly regarded now?"

"How can it be the same! No matter how respected he is, he may not win a fight with the Russians. No matter how powerful he is, can he be made a general?"

This really didn't make sense to her, so Lin Yue pushed her shoulders and walked out, "Don't worry, I won't joke about the child's future. I heard your Dongkai calling you, go home quickly!"

Zhou Aixiang was pushed by her, and turned back vigorously, saying angrily: "You are chasing me away, you heartless little thing!"

Lin Yue stopped and took her arm and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I won't chase you away. I'll keep you here for dinner and you can stay here tonight. Is that okay?"

Zhou Aixiang struggled to break free from Lin Yue's hand, held the child in one hand, and used the other hand, which was holding something, to tidy up her short hair and rolled her eyes.

"I don't want your food. My husband has already cooked it. I can smell it!"

Lin Yue looked at her smug look, smiled, said "Pooh", and pushed her out of the door.

Lingling and Wanli were still excited and kept chattering around Lin Yue. Lin Yue didn't mind and listened to them while assigning tasks to the two of them. Together with Zhang Yuandong, the four of them quickly prepared dinner.

It was getting dark, and the sounds of children calling out could be heard from the street. Lin Yue also stood on the street and shouted twice, but there was no response from Xiao Mushroom and Sisi. She went home and gave Wanli a few instructions, and Wanli ran out in a flash.

Wanli hadn't come back until the food was served, but Wang Tingting came back with Little Mushroom and Sisi. As soon as the two of them opened the gate, they could smell the aroma of food. Little Mushroom was already hungry, so he ran into the house.

Xixi staggered over to greet them, hugged Wang Tingting's calves, tilted her little face up and happily called "Mom". Wang Tingting responded, picked up her son, kissed his tender little face, and carried him into the house.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Where did you find these two naughty kids? I've been looking for them for a long time and they haven't come back yet."

Sisi shrank behind Wang Tingting and gently tugged at her clothes, obviously feeling a little guilty.

Wang Tingting touched the new apprentice's head with her backhand and winked at Lin Yue: "They are here to pick me up from get off work. What kind of meal did you cook? It smells so good!"

Lin Yue knew that something must have happened, so he didn't ask any more questions. He followed her instructions and invited everyone to have dinner. Then he went out to the street and shouted Wan Li's name loudly.

Wanli agreed quickly, and soon he ran back panting. He ran to Lin Yue, and before he could catch his breath, he said anxiously, "Mom, I heard from Brother Dabao that Yu Tiantian and Yu Zhiguo bullied Sisi, but I didn't find her and Xiao Mushroom. Mom, what should I do!"

Lin Yue half-knelt down, grabbed his shoulders, and soothed him: "It's okay, they are both back. Don't worry, tell me slowly, what happened?"

"I'm not sure either. Dabao said that Yu Tiantian led them to an abandoned house next to the hospital. When he went to chase them, he only found Yu Zhiguo. Yu Tiantian, Xiao Mushroom and Sisi were all gone. I didn't find them there either. Yu Zhiguo refused to say anything. I... uh, no matter how I asked, I couldn't get any information."

That area of ​​old houses was said to be demolished a long time ago, and now it has become a real dangerous building, how dangerous! What's wrong with Tang Sisi and her children? Why do they like to run there?

Lin Yue muttered a few words in his heart, but said: "You didn't get into a fight, did you?"

Wanli shrank his neck and dodged his gaze for a moment. "Not really, I just wanted to scare him. Mom, don't worry, I didn't hurt him."

Lin Yue knew that he was a man of his time, so he tapped his forehead and led him back home.

After dinner, Zhang Yuandong took Lingling and Wanli to wash dishes in the yard. Wang Tingting took out an envelope from her pocket and handed it to Lin Yue, "Here, we paid our wages today, keep this."

She would give half of her salary to Lin Yue every month, and Lin Yue could not refuse, so he accepted her allocation. But today, she refused and said, "Winter is coming soon, you should keep it for yourself, and then take Xixi with you to the city to buy some winter supplies."

Wang Tingting pushed the envelope into her arms and said angrily, "Don't think I don't know. You have already prepared clothes for both of us. You even sewed my thick quilt. You don't want to take the money. Are you reluctant to give it to me? The ready-made clothes are too ugly. I don't care. I rely on you. You can't ignore me!"

Lin Yue said helplessly: "When did I say I don't care about you? Winter is so long, and you need so many things. This is the first time you spend the winter by yourself, so there will always be things you need to buy. Here is the money. Go buy a pair of boots in the next few days. I wanted to make them for you last year, but you thought they were ugly. This year, go to the department store and have a look yourself!"

Wang Tingting muttered quietly: "The ones I bought outside are even uglier. I don't want to wear that..."

Lin Yue glared at him and said angrily, "Who got frozen feet last year? They were so swollen that they couldn't even wear shoes!"

Little Mushroom and Sisi couldn't stay still any longer, so they dragged Xixi to the yard to play, leaving the two adults pushing and shoving things around in the house.

Wang Tingting didn't dare to refuse anymore. She quickly put away the envelope and said with a shameless smile: "It's me, it's me. Isn't it okay for me to listen to you?" She glanced outside and whispered to Lin Yue about Sisi and Xiao Mushroom.
